The interplay between IL-15, gluten and HLA-DQ8 drives the development of coeliac disease in mice

ABSTRACT: Coeliac disease (CeD) is a complex, polygenic inflammatory enteropathy with autoimmune features caused by exposure to dietary gluten that occurs in a subset of genetically susceptible HLA-DQ8 and HLA-DQ2 individuals. Attempts to develop a pathophysiologically relevant animal model that develops villous atrophy (VA) have failed. The need to develop non-dietary treatments for this common disorder is now widely recognized, but it is hampered by the lack of a preclinical model. Furthermore, while human studies have led to major advances in our understanding of CeD pathogenesis, direct demonstration of the respective roles of disease-predisposing HLA molecules, and adaptive and innate immunity in the development of tissue damage is missing. To address these unmet needs, we engineered a mouse model that reproduces the dual overexpression of IL-15 in the gut epithelium and the lamina propria (Lp) characteristic of active CeD, expresses the predisposing HLA-DQ8 molecule, and develops VA upon gluten ingestion. We show that overexpression of IL-15 in both the epithelium and Lp is required for development of VA, demonstrating the location-dependent central role of IL-15 in CeD pathogenesis. Furthermore, our study reveals the critical role played by both CD4+ and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in VA development. Finally, it establishes that HLA-DQ8 is central for tissue destruction, but dispensable for loss of oral tolerance to gluten. This mouse model, by reflecting the complex interplay between gluten, genetics and the IL-15-driven tissue inflammation found in CeD, represents a powerful preclinical model to test new therapeutics and study disease pathogenesis.

Specific targeting of the common gamma chain blocks cooperative reprogramming of human tissue-resident cytotoxic T lymphocytes by IL-15 and IL-21

Project description:The common gamma chain (γc) is required for productive signaling by interleukin (IL)-15, IL-21 and IL-2, which are critically involved in immune activation and regulation. IL-21 and IL-15 are implicated in the pathogenesis of type-1 diabetes, graft-versus-host disease, and celiac disease (CeD), a gluten-mediated autoimmune-like enteropathy. Attempts to treat type-1 diabetes and graft-versus-host disease with biologics targeting one particular cytokine have failed. Both IL-15 and IL-21 have been suggested to drive activation of cytotoxic T cells (CTL) that are the effectors mediating tissue destruction in CeD and organ-specific autoimmune disorders. We show that the concomitant upregulation of IL-15 and IL-21 occurs only in full-blown CeD with villous atrophy. BNZ-2, a peptide that targets the γc, was able to block the cooperative IL-15/IL-21 mediated transcriptional activation of human tissue-resident intraepithelial CTL. Importantly, this inhibition was specific and did not interfere with IL-2 signaling, a cytokine with known immunoregulatory functions. Moreover, BNZ-2 blocked gluten-induced IFN-γ production in small intestinal organ cultures from CeD patients. These observations identify BNZ-2 as a therapeutic candidate for immune disorders in which IL-15 and IL-21 cooperate to induce CTL-mediated tissue damage.

Gene expression in the small intestine of mice colonized with Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Celiac disease (CeD) is a food sensitivity characterized by a breakdown of oral tolerance to gluten proteins in genetically predisposed individuals, although the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. To evaluate a functional role of bacterial proteases in CeD, we colonized germ-free or clean SPF mice with P.aeruginosa PA14 or P.aeruginosa PA14 disrupted in lasB gene (elastase). We show gluten-independent, PAR-2 mediated upregulation of inflammatory pathways by LasB in C57BL/6 mice without villus blunting. In mice expressing CeD risk genes, P. aeruginosa elastase synergized with gluten to induce more severe inflammation that was associated with moderate villus blunting.

RNA-sequencing of gluten-reactive and non-reactive T-cells from blood samples of treated CeD patients during a gluten-challenge

Project description:Gluten-specific CD4+ T cells are drivers of celiac disease (CeD). Here we aimed to characterize such cells in blood of treated CeD patients during gluten challenge with comparison to similar cells of untreated disease. Treated CeD patients underwent a 3-day gluten-challenge with blood sampling at baseline and day 6 (d6). Blood cells were stained with HLA-DQ:gluten tetramers (Tetramer). CD4+, gut-homing Tetramer+ and Tetramer- effector-memory T (TEM) cells at d6 were subjected to bulk RNA-seq (n=7).

Human gut derived-organoids as model to study gluten response and effects of microbiota bioproducts in celiac disease

Project description:Celiac disease (CeD) is an intestinal immune-mediated disorder caused by gluten ingestion in genetically predisposed subjects. CeD is characterized by villous atrophy, altered intestinal permeability, crypt hyperplasia and innate and adaptive immune response. This study aimed to develop and validate the use of intestinal organoids from celiac patients to study CeD. A repository of organoids from duodenum of non-celiac and celiac patients was generated and characterized accordingly to standard procedures. RNA-seq analysis was employed to study the global gene expression program of CeD (n=3) and non-CeD (n=3) organoids sets. While the three celiac derived organoids shared similar transcriptional signatures the NC samples set appeared more heterogeneous. We found 486 genes differentially expressed between the two groups. Of them, 299 genes were downregulated (FC<2; FDR<0.05) and 187 were upregulated in CeD (FC >2; FDR<0.05). We observed CeD organoids had significantly altered expression of genes associated with barrier function, innate immunity, and stem cell function.

Biopsy proteome scoring to determine mucosal remodeling in celiac disease

Project description:For celiac disease (CeD) the diagnosis and response to treatment is determined by histological evaluation of gut biopsies which depend on proper biopsy orientation and has poor inter-observer reproducibility. Biopsy proteome measurement that reports on the tissue state can be obtained by mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue. Here we aimed to transform biopsy proteome data into numerical scores that would give observer-independent measures of mucosal remodeling in CeD. A pipeline was established that employs glass-mounted FFPE sections for MS-based proteome analysis. Proteome data was converted to a numerical score using two different approaches, by calculating a rank-based enrichment score and by training a machine-learning algorithm to calculate a disease-state prediction value. The scoring approaches were compared to each other and to histology using a validation cohort of 18 CeD patients comparing biopsies collected before and after treatment with gluten-free diet (GFD). Biopsies from non-CeD individuals (n = 18) served as controls.

Comprehensive proteomics analyses of IL-15 driven activation of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes

Project description:Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) are an abundant population of tissue-resident T cells that protect the gut from pathogens and maintain intestinal homeostasis. The cytokine IL-15 is trans-presented by epithelial cells to IEL in complex with the IL-15 receptor α chain (IL-15Rα) and plays essential roles both in maintaining IEL homeostasis, and in inducing IEL activation in response to epithelial stress. When overproduced, IL-15 is a key driver of the gluten-induced enteropathy Coeliac disease, through cytotoxic activation of IEL. To better understand how IL-15 directly regulates both homeostatic and inflammatory functions of IEL, we performed quantitative proteomics of IL-15/Rα-stimulated murine IEL, sorted into their 3 main subpopulations, TCRγδ CD8αα, TCRαβ CD8αβ and TCRαβ CD8αα expressing IEL. The data reveal that high IL-15/Rα stimulation licenses cell cycle activation, upregulates the biosynthetic machinery in IEL, increases mitochondrial respiratory capacity and induces expression of cell surface immune receptors and adhesion proteins that potentially drive IEL activation.

Murine MHC-deficient NOD mice carrying human HLA-DQ8 develop severe myocarditis and myositis in response to anti-PD-1 immune-checkpoint-inhibitor cancer therapy

Project description:Myocarditis has emerged as an immune-related adverse event of immune-checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) cancer therapy associated with significant mortality. Our new NOD-cMHCI/II-/-.DQ8 mouse strain expresses human HLA-DQ8 in the absence of classical murine MHC class I and II. These mice are highly susceptible to myocarditis and acute heart failure following anti-PD-1 ICI-induced treatment. Additionally, anti-PD-1 administration accelerates skeletal muscle myositis development. Using RNA sequencing analyses we performed a thorough characterization of cardiac and skeletal muscle infiltrating T-cells, identifying shared and unique characteristics of both populations.

Expression analysis in intestinal mucosa of genes under association peaks in celiac disease

Project description:Celiac disease is a chronic immune-mediated disorder with an important genetic component. To date, there are 57 independent association signals from 39 non-HLA loci, and a total of 66 candidate genes have been proposed. We aimed to scrutinize the functional implication of 45 of those genes by analyzing their expression in the disease tissue of celiac patients (at diagnosis/treatment) compared to non-celiac controls. The sample set consisted of 15 CD children at diagnosis (on a gluten-containing diet, with CD associated antibodies, atrophy of intestinal villi and crypt hyperplasia), and the same patients in remission after being treated with GFD for >2 years (asymptomatic, antibody negative, and normalized intestinal epithelium at that time), plus 15 tissue samples from non-celiac individuals not suffering from inflammation at the time of endoscopy used as controls
