Project description:Many cytokines are involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and are recognized as relevant therapeutic targets to attenuate inflammation, such as TNFα in RA and IFNα/γ in SLE. To relate the transcriptional imprinting of cytokines in a cell type-specific and disease-specific manner, we generated gene-expression profiles from peripheral monocytes of SLE and RA patients and compared them to in vitro-generated signatures induced by TNFα, IFNα2a and IFNγ. Monocytes from SLE and RA patients revealed disease-specific gene-expression profiles. In vitro-generated signatures induced by IFNα2a and IFNγ showed similar profiles that only partially overlapped with those induced by TNFα. Comparisons between disease-specific and in vitro-generated signatures identified cytokine-regulated genes in SLE and RA with qualitative and quantitative differences. The IFN-responses in SLE and RA were found to be regulated in a STAT1-dependent and STAT1-independent manner, respectively. Similarly, genes recognized as TNFα-regulated were clearly distinguishable between RA and SLE patients. While the activity of SLE monocytes was mainly driven by IFN, the activity from RA monocytes showed a dominance of TNFα that was characterized by STAT1 down-regulation. The responses to specific cytokines were revealed to be disease-dependent and reflected the interplay of cytokines within various inflammatory milieus. This study has demonstrated that monocytes from RA and SLE patients exhibit disease-specific gene-expression profiles, which can be molecularly dissected when compared to in vitro-generated cytokine signatures. The results suggest that an assessment of cytokine-response status in monocytes may be helpful for improvement of diagnosis and selection of the best cytokine target for therapeutic intervention. Expression profiles of human peripheral blood monocytes activated in vivo and stimulated in vitro. Monocytes from patients with SLE and RA and from healthy donors were used for generating disease-specific gene-expression profiles, where these profiles represent in vivo activation of monocytes. In addition, monocytes from healthy donors were stimulated in vitro by cytokines: TNFα, IFNα2a and IFNγ. Cytokine-specific gene-expression profiles were generated by comparing stimulated monocytes with unstimulated ones. TNFα-, IFNα2a- and IFNγ as cytokine-specific gene-expression profiles were compared with RA and SLE, as disease-specific gene-expression profiles.

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic and heterogeneous autoimmune disease for which its treatment and phosphorylation-dependent regulatory mechanism remain elusive. Here, we aim to explore the molecular mechanism of phosphorylation regulation for SLE. We employed high-throughput Phosphoproteomics of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 126 patients with SLE remission stage (SLE_S), 70 patients with SLE active stage (SLE_A), 160 patients with RA, and 135 healthy controls (HC). An independent cohort that included 60 SLE_S, 35 SLE_A, 50 RA and 40 HC was used to validate the phosphosites via parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). We revealed upregulated pathways involved in cell adhesion and migration in patients with SLE (SLE_S and SLE_A) compared with HCs and RA. Expression pattern clustering analysis revealed several specifically upregulated phosphosites, and the leukocyte transendothelial migration was specifically enriched in SLE_A. We predicted several key kinases including MAP3Ks, MAP2Ks, IKKB and TBK1, and found that upregulated kinase activity is associated with increased phosphorylation of VCL, TLN1 and VAPB by kinases-substrate network analysis. These phosphorylated proteins also regulate the pathways related to cell adhesion and migration, and which have not been implicated in previous studies of SLE. Moreover, we validated these phosphosites with the same trend as 4D-LFQ data, including LCP1 S5, TLN1 S1201, TLN1 S1225, VCL S275 and VCL S579. In summary, the present study elucidates the changes of phosphosites, kinases and pathways in SLE, and may provide potentially novel targets for further mechanism exploration.

Project description:The gole of this study was to determine whether circulaitng miRNAs could be used as candidate miRNAs of SLE . In this study a miRNA profile was used to determine aberrant expressed circulating miRNAs in patients with system lupus erythematosus (SLE), compared with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and healthy control (HCs). To further confirm these microarray data, we identify 8 miRNAs (miR-126, miR-21, miR-451, miR-223, miR-16, miR-125a-3p,miR-155,miR-146a) by real-time quantitative PCR in 20 healthy controls and in 55 cases, of whom 30 were diagnosed with SLE and 25 were diagnosed RA. Using microarray-based expression profiling follwed by real-time quantitative polymerase Cycle Reaction (RT-qPCR)validation, we compared the levels of circulating miRNAs in plasma sample from SLE patients, RA patients, and healthy controls

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory joint disorder that results in progressive joint damage when insufficiently treated. In order to prevent joint destruction and functional disability in RA, early diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment with Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) is needed. However, in daily clinical practice, patients may initially display symptoms of arthritis that do not fulfil the classification criteria for a definite diagnosis of RA, or any other joint disease, a situation called “Undifferentiated Arthritis” (UA). Out of the patients with UA, 30 to 50% usually develop RA, and early identification of these remains a challenge. At the present time, although several risk factors associated with the development of RA have been identified (6-9), a model that reliably predicts the probability of evolution of UA into RA in individual patients is lacking. In order to better identify early RA patients, an American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) collaboration recently developed new classification criteria. Although these criteria are more sensitive, the risk of over-diagnosis is an important issue to consider, especially in very early disease. In this context, the present study explores the feasibility of a molecular diagnosis of arthritis, based on the identification of disease-specific transcriptomic profiles in synovial biopsies from patients with arthritis according to the underlying condition. In a previous study, we performed global analyses of gene expression in synovial biopsies from patients with RA, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Osteoarthritis (OA), using high-density oligonucleotide spotted microarrays. We found that the gene expression profiles are strikingly different according to the underlying condition. Thus, the majority of the genes up-regulated in SLE are type I Interferon-inducible genes, as compared with the up-regulation genes involved in T cell and B cell activation in RA, and in extracellular matrix homeostasis in OA. Based on these results, similar analyses were performed in synovial biopsies from patients with seronegative arthritis (SA) and microcrystalline arthritis (MIC), in order to identify disease-specific molecular signatures.
