Project description:The TNF family member TL1A (TNFSF15) co-stimulates several T helper subsets and promotes T cell-dependent models of inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and allergic lung disease. TL1A polymorphisms confer susceptibility to IBD and have been associated with disease severity. In this study, we identified TL1A as a strong inducer of TH9 cell differentiation in vitro. Mechanistically, TL1A induced NF-B signaling and down-stream STAT6 activation and facilitated cooperative binding of BATF, BATF3, and IRF4 to the Il9 promoter. In vivo, utilizing an adoptive T cell transfer model we demonstrated that TL1A promoted IL-9-dependent, TH9 cell-induced intestinal and lung inflammation and blocking anti-IL-9 antibodies attenuated TL1A-driven mucosal inflammation. Our results demonstrate that TL1A promotes TH9 cell differentiation and function and define a role for IL-9 in TL1A-induced mucosal inflammation.

Project description:In the DSS-induced colitis model, the epithelial damage and resulting inflammation is restricted to the colon, with a potential influence on the microbial composition in the adjacent cecum. Several studies have reported changes of the gut microbiota in the DSS-induced colitis model and other mouse models of IBD. Furthermore, metaproteomics analysis of the gut microbiome in a mouse model of Crohn’s disease demonstrated that disease severity and location are microbiota-dependent, with clear evidence for the causal role of bacterial dysbiosis in the development of chronic ileal inflammation. We have developed a refined model of chronic DSS-induced colitis that reflects typical symptoms of human IBD without a risky body weight loss usually observed in DSS models [Hoffmann et al., submitted]. In this study, we used metaproteomics to characterize the disease-related changes in bacterial protein abundance and function in the refined model of DSS-induced colitis. To assess the structural and functional changes, we applied 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metaproteomics analysis of the intestinal microbiota in three different entities of the intestinal environment, i.e. colon mucus, colon content and cecum content.

Project description:The TNF superfamily is large, including TNF ligands (n = 19) and TNF receptors (n = 29),as determined following the completion of large-scale sequencing of the human and mouse genomes. These members not only function in immune cells but are also involved in respiratory and intestinal diseases, and some members may act as a double-edged sword. Tumor necrosis factor-like cytokine 1A (TL1A, also known as TNFSF15) is the only known death receptor 3 (DR3, also known as TNFRSF25) ligand (Meylan et al., 2011). The TL1A/DR3 axis plays a role in the regulation of intestinal immunity and fibrosis (Valatas et al., 2019), asthma airway remodeling (Zhang et al., 2022; Herro et al., 2010), and other autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (Herro et al., 2021), exacerbating disease progression. However, some researchers have proposed that the TL1A/DR3 axis has a protective role in some disease models. A novel role for TL1A/DR3 in protection against intestinal injury was reported by Jia et al (Jia et al., 2016). Yang et al. revealed a protective effect of TL1A against intracerebral hemorrhage-induced secondary brain injury and infection (Yang et al., 2021). In addition, TL1A maintains the blood–retinal barrier by modulating SHP-1-Src-VE-cadherin signaling in diabetic retinopathy, as verified by Li et al (Li et al., 2021). However, the role of TL1A/DR3 in ARDS has not been explored.

Project description:Gut dysbiosis is closely involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, it remains unclear whether IBD-associated gut dysbiosis plays a primary role in disease manifestation or is merely secondary to intestinal inflammation. Here, we established a humanized gnotobiotic (hGB) mouse system to assess the functional role of gut dysbiosis associated with two types of IBD - Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). In order to explore the functional impact of dysbiotic microbiota in IBD patients on host immune responses, we analyzed gene expression profiles in colonic mucosa of hGB mice colonized with healty (HC), CD, and UC microbiota.

Project description:Arginase 1 (Arg1), which converts L-arginine into ornithine and urea, exerts pleiotropic immunoregulatory effects. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) show an enhanced expression and activity of Arg1 in the intestinal (sub-)mucosa, but the function of Arg1 in IBD remains poorly characterized. Here, we found that Arg1 expression correlates with the degree of inflammation in colitic tissues of IBD patients. In mice with - experimental colitis Arg1 was upregulated in an IL-4-/IL-13- and intestinal microbiota-dependent manner. Tie2-Cre+/-Arg1fl/fl mice lacking Arg1 in hematopoietic and endothelial cells recovered faster from colitis than Arg1-expressing littermates. This correlated with decreased vessel density, compositional changes in the intestinal microbiota, diminished infiltration by myeloid cellsand an accumulation of intraluminal polyamines that are associated with epithelial healing. Dietary L-arginine restriction abolished the protective effect of Arg1-deletion, suggesting that protection is related to an increased availability of L-arginine. Fecal microbiota transfers from Tie2-Cre+/-Arg1fl/fl mice into wildtype recipients restored the protective, anti-inflammatory phenotype while transfers from wildtype littermates into Arg1-deficient mice prevented the accelerated recovery from colitis. Thus, altered intestinal microbiota and metabolic products in Tie2-Cre+/-Arg1fl/fl mice account for the accelerated resolution from colitis in the absence of Arg1. Subsequently, L-arginine serves as novel therapeutic and diagnostic target for clinical intervention in IBD patients.

Project description:To assess the effect of different forms of TL1A within different organs of the mouse we generated 2 different transgenic mouse lines where TL1A was expressed under the control of the CD2 promoter. 2 forms of TL1A was used. Either WT TL1A, which led to over expression of both membrane bound and soluble forms of TL1A (Refered to as Mem+Sol) or TL1A Delta 69-93 which only overexpressed membrane restricted TL1A (Refered to as Mem). Lungs and terminal ileums were taken from Either Mem, Mem+sol or WT litermate control mice at 12 weeks of age and the transcriptome assessed using RNAseq Through this we demonstrated enrichment of different transcripts and pathways both dependent on and independent of the form of TL1A and the site of action. This study is also the first to use RNASeq to assess the resualt of overexpression of TL1A within the mouse.

Project description:Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are critical regulators of intestinal homeostasis, yet their role in cancer remains elusive. Here, we identify that the tumor microenvironment of humans and mice with colorectal cancer (CRC) contains altered ILC3 responses that resemble those found during intestinal inflammation and are characterized by reduced frequencies, altered subset distribution, and an imbalance with T cells. We evaluated the consequences of these changes in mice and determined that ILC3-specific major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) was required to limit the progression of CRC. Interestingly, ILC3-specific MHCII also prevented resistance to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy by regulating intestinal inflammation and microbiota composition. Finally, humans with intestinal inflammation and dysregulated ILC3s also harbor specific microbiota that are sufficient to promote immunotherapy resistance in mice. Collectively, these data define a protective role for antigen-presenting ILC3s in cancer, and indicate that inherent disruption of this pathway drives CRC progression and immunotherapy resistance.

Project description:The human intestinal microbiota plays an essential role in host health. Modifications in its composition and diversity could induce pathologies such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). These diseases are characterized by an unbalanced intestinal microbiota (a process known as dysbiosis) and an altered immune response. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, the most abundant commensal bacterium in the human intestinal microbiota of healthy individuals (representing more than 5% of the total bacterial population), has been reported to be lower in feces and mucosa-associated microbiota of IBD patients. In addition, we have shown that both F. prausnitzii and its culture supernatant (SN) have anti-inflammatory and protective effects in both acute and chronic colitis models. However, the host molecular mechanisms involved in these anti-inflammatory effects remain unknown. In order to address this issue, we performed DNA chip-based transcriptomic analyses in HT-29 human intestinal epithelial cells stimulated with TNF-a and exposed to F. prausnitzii SN or to BHI (growth medium for F prausnitzii).

Project description:Background & Aims Variants in the tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 15 gene (TNFSF15, also called TL1A) have been associated with risk for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). TL1A affects expression of multiple cytokines to promote mucosal inflammation. Little is known about the TL1A-response pathways that regulate cytokine expression. We investigated T-cell gene expression patterns to determine the mechanisms by which TL1A regulates cytokine production, and whether these associate with outcomes of patients with Crohn’s disease (CD).Methods Peripheral T cells isolated from normal donors were cultured with TL1A. We performed gene expression profile analysis, by RNA sequencing, of subsets of interferon gamma (IFNG)-producing and non-producing cells, purified by flow cytometry. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis was used to identify gene expression differences between these subsets. Ribonuclease T2 gene (RNASET2) expression and methylation were assessed by quantitative trait loci analyses. Clinical characteristics of patients (complications, resistance to therapy, recurrence time) were associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms in RNASET2. We performed motif screening to identify polymorphisms that disrupt transcription factor binding sites. Levels of RNASET2 were knocked down with small interfering RNA in CD4+ T cells and the effect on protein expression was determined by proteomic analysis and cytokine production. Cell aggregation was measured by flow cytometry. ResultsWe identified 764 genes with at least a 2-fold difference in TL1A-mediated expression between IFNG-secreting and non-secreting T cells (P<1 × 10−5). Many of these genes were located near IBD susceptibility variants. RNASET2 was the only IBD risk-associated gene with greater than 5-fold downregulation in the IFNG-secreting subset. RNASET2 disease risk variants were associated with decreased expression in peripheral and mucosal tissues and DNA hypermethylation in CD patients requiring surgical intervention. RNASET2 disease risk variants were associated in CD patients with more complicated disease or resistance to therapy, defined in part by failed response to treatment, increased length of intestinal resection, shorter time to repeat surgery, and high Rutgeerts score (>2) in post-operative endoscopy. The RNASET2 variant rs2149092 was predicted to disrupt a consensus binding site for the transcription factor ETS within an enhancer region. Expression of RNASET2 correlated with expression of ETS. RNASET2 knockdown in T cells increased expression of IFNG and ICAM1 and induced T cells aggregation. A blocking antibody against LFA1, disrupting the LFA1-ICAM1 interaction, reduced T-cell production of IFNG. Conclusions We identified decreased expression of RNASET2 as a component of TL1A-mediated increase in production of IFNG and as a potential biomarker for patients with severe CD. Further study of the role of RNASET2 in regulating mucosal inflammation may lead to development of novel therapeutic targets.

Project description:Background & Aims: The complex interactions between diet and the microbiota that influence mucosal inflammation and inflammatory bowel disease are poorly understood. Experimental colitis models provide the opportunity to control and systematically perturb diet and the microbiota in parallel to quantify the contributions between multiple dietary ingredients and the microbiota on host physiology and colitis. Methods: To examine the interplay of diet and the gut microbiota on host health and colitis, we fed over 40 different diets with varied macronutrient sources and concentrations to specific pathogen free or germ free mice either in the context of healthy, unchallenged animals or dextran sodium sulfate colitis model. Results: Diet influenced physiology in both health and colitis across all models, with the concentration of protein and psyllium fiber having the most profound effects. Increasing dietary protein elevated gut microbial density and worsened DSS colitis severity. Depleting gut microbial density by using germ-free animals or antibiotics negated the effect of a high protein diet. Psyllium fiber influenced host physiology and attenuated colitis severity through microbiota-dependent and microbiota-independent mechanisms. Combinatorial perturbations to dietary protein and psyllium fiber in parallel explain most variation in gut microbial density, intestinal permeability, and DSS colitis severity, and changes in one ingredient can be offset by changes in the other. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate the importance of examining complex mixtures of nutrients to understand the role of diet in intestinal inflammation.
