Gene Expression in the Human Lacrimal Gland

ABSTRACT: Diagnosis of inflamed human lacrimal gland with standard clinical and histopathology evaluation data is imprecise. A large number of these patients are diagnosed with the catch-all classification of nonspecific orbital inflammation (NSOI). We utilized gene expression analysis of lacrimal gland biospy/surgical waste tissues to assist in the classification of sarcoidosis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), thyroid eye disease (TED), and subdivisions of NSOI. As part of this process, we are investigating correlations between gene expression levels and disease characteristics.

Gene expression in human orbit

Project description:Diagnosis of inflamed human orbit tissue with standard clinical and histopathology evaluation data is imprecise. A large number of these patients are diagnosed with the catch-all classification of nonspecific orbital inflammation (NSOI). We utilized gene expression analysis of orbit biopsies to assist in the classification of sarcoidosis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), thyroid eye disease (TED), IgG4-associated disease, and subdivisions of NSOI. As part of this process, we are investigating correlations between gene expression levels and disease characteristics.

miRNA profiling of Regulatory T-cells of patients with Granulomatosis with PolyAngiitis (GPA) in Remission versus Healthy Controls

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are frequently functionally impaired in patients with Granulomatosis with PolyAngiitis (GPA). However, the mechanism underlying their impaired function is unknown. Here, we hypothesized that Treg dysfunction in GPA is due to altered microRNA (miRNA) expression.

Comprehensive quantification of modifications of human and mouse myeloperoxidase by LC-MSMS

Project description:Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic and refractory disease, characterized by necrotizing small to medium vessel vasculitides. AAV constitutes three distinct disorders: microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) (formerly known as Wegener's granulomatosis), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) (formerly known as Churg-Strauss syndrome). ANCA, a characteristic autoantibody for AAV consists of two major subtypes: one against myeloperoxidase (MPO-ANCA) and the other against leukocyte proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA). MPO-ANCA is mainly detected in patients with MPA (55-90%) and in those with EGPA (20-40%) and less frequently detected in patients with GPA (20-30%). We hypothesized that an aberrant PTM occurred in neutrophil MPO in patients with MPO-ANCA-positive AAV (MPO-AAV) is involved in the production of MPO-ANCA. To test the hypothesis, SWATH-MS was used to comprehensively quantify PTMs of human MPO purified from neutrophils of MPO-AAV and healthy controls, and PTMs of mouse MPO treated with hydrogen peroxide in vitro.

Single-Cell Multi-Omics Reveals Activation of the STAT3–PIM1 Axis in T Cell Subsets in Proteinase 3-ANCA-Positive Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis

Project description:Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is an autoimmune disease marked by relapses and treatment-related morbidity. CD4⁺ T cells play a central role in GPA pathogenesis, but their molecular profile remains incompletely defined. This study aimed to characterize CD4⁺ T cells in proteinase 3-ANCA-positive GPA (PR3-GPA) patients using single-cell multi-omics to identify molecular signatures associated with disease activity. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from PR3-GPA patients during active disease, remission, and healthy controls. Single-cell RNA sequencing and CITE-seq were used to define transcriptional and protein expression profiles of CD4⁺ T cell subsets. Findings were validated using RT-qPCR, flow cytometry–based assays, including phospho-flow cytometry, and in vitro inhibition assay. scRNA-seq and CITE-seq revealed upregulated PIM1 expression in CD4⁺ T cell subsets in active GPA compared to controls. Pim kinase inhibition reduced CD4⁺ T cell activation, proliferation, and cytokine production. These findings indicate that circulating CD4⁺ T cells in active PR3-GPA are characterized by activation of the STAT3–PIM1 axis, potentially driven by upstream IL-6 signaling.

Defining the Nasal Transcriptome in Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis

Project description:Objectives: To determine whether disease processes related to granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) are reflected in gene expression profiles of nasal mucosa. Methods: Nasal brushings of the inferior turbinate were obtained from 32 patients with GPA (10 with active nasal disease, 13 with prior nasal disease, 9 with no history of nasal disease) and a composite comparator group with and without inflammatory nasal disease (12 healthy people, 15 with sarcoidosis, 8 with allergic rhinitis). Differential gene expression was assessed between subgroups of GPA and comparators. Results: 339 genes were differentially expressed between the GPA and comparator groups (absolute fold change > 1.5; false discovery rate < 0.05). Top canonical pathways upregulated in nasal brushings from patients with GPA include granulocyte adhesion and diapedesis (p=8.6 E-22), agranulocyte adhesion and diapedesis (p=1.3 E-14), interleukin 10 signaling (3.0 E-11), and TREM1 signaling (9.0 E-11). A set of genes differentially expressed in GPA independent of nasal disease activity status included genes related to epithelial barrier integrity (fibronectin 1, desmosomal proteins) and several matricellular proteins (e.g. osteonectin, osteopontin). Significant overlap of differentially expressed genes was observed between active and prior nasal disease GPA subgroups. Peripheral blood neutrophil and mononuclear gene expression levels associated with GPA were similarly altered in the nasal gene expression profiles of patients with active or prior nasal disease. Conclusions: Profiling the nasal transcriptome in GPA reveals gene expression signatures related to innate immunity, inflammatory cell chemotaxis, extracellular matrix composition, and epithelial barrier integrity. Airway-based expression profiling is feasible and informative in GPA.

Whole blood transcriptomic analysis of ANCA-associated vasculitis

Project description:Whole blood mRNA sequencing from 30 patients with AAV (granulomatosis with polyangiitis/GPA, n=22) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA, n=8) combined with functional enrichment and network analysis for aberrant pathways. Key genes and pathways were validated in an independent cohort of 18 AAV patients. Co-expression network and hierarchical clustering analysis, identified molecular endotypes. Multi-level transcriptional overlap analysis to SLE was based on our published data from 142 patients.

Human Lacrimal Gland Gene Expression

Project description:Background: The study of human lacrimal gland biology and development is limited. Lacrimal gland tissue is damaged or poorly functional in a number of disease states including dry eye disease. Development of cell based therapies for lacrimal gland diseases requires a better understanding of the gene expression and signaling pathways in lacrimal gland. Differential gene expression analysis between lacrimal gland and other embryologically similar tissues may be helpful in furthering our understanding of lacrimal gland development. Methods: We performed global gene expression analysis of human lacrimal gland tissue using Affymetrix ® gene expression arrays. Primary data from our laboratory was compared with datasets available in the NLM GEO database for other surface ectodermal tissues including salivary gland, skin, conjunctiva and corneal epithelium. Results: The analysis revealed statistically significant difference in the gene expression of lacrimal gland tissue compared to other ectodermal tissues. The lacrimal gland specific, cell surface secretory protein encoding genes and critical signaling pathways which distinguish lacrimal gland from other ectodermal tissues are described. Conclusions: Differential gene expression in human lacrimal gland compared with other ectodermal tissue types revealed interesting patterns which may serve as the basis for future studies in directed differentiation among other areas.
