Project description:Whole blood and purified leucocyte populations were compared to determine which cell types the whole blood interferon-inducible signature, found in both tuberculosis and sarcoidosis, was present in. This study agreed with previous publication that the neutrophil was the dominant cell in tuberculosis and also showed it was the dominant cell type in sarcoidosis. There were 5 patients in each group of healthy controls, tuberculosis and sarcoidosis. The cell types were whole blood, PBMCs, monocytes (CD14), T cells (CD8 and CD4) and neutrophils (CD15).

Project description:Human Monocytes were incubated with or without dexamethasone for 36h. Then non-primed or dexamethasone-primed monocytes were incubated with 500ug/ml Hb-Hp for 0h, 8h and 18h. RNA of all samples was analyzed with Agilent whole genome 4x44k microarrays (dual-color). For factorial analysis all samples were individually analyzed using the same reference sample (no pre-treatment, 0h).

Project description:Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease characterized by non-caseating granuloma infiltrating various organs. The form with symptomatic muscular involvement is called muscular sarcoidosis. The impact of immune cells composing the granuloma on the skeletal muscle is misunderstood. Here, we investigated the granuloma-skeletal muscle interactions through spatial transcriptomics. Five major transcriptomic clusters corresponding to perigranuloma, granuloma, and three successive muscle tissue areas (proximal, intermediate and distal) around the granuloma were identified. Analyses revealed upregulated pathways in the granuloma corresponding to the activation of T-lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages cytokines and upregulation of extracellular matrix signatures and induction of the TGF-β signaling in the perigranuloma. Comparison between proximal and distal muscles to the granuloma revealed an inverse correlation between distance to the granuloma and upregulation of cellular response to interferon-γ/α, TNF-α, IL-1,4,6, fibroblast proliferation, epithelial to mesenchymal cell transition and downregulation of muscle gene expression. These data shed light on the intercommunications between granulomas and the muscle tissue and provides pathophysiological mechanisms by showing that granuloma immune-cells have a direct impact on proximal muscle tissue by promoting its progressive replacement by fibrosis via the expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrosing signatures. These data could possibly explain the evolution towards a state of disability for some patients.

Project description:Cardiac involvement is an important determinant of mortality amongst sarcoidosis patients. While granulomatous inflammation is a hallmark finding in cardiac sarcoidosis, the precise immune cell populations that comprise the granuloma remain unresolved. Furthermore, it is unclear how the cellular and transcriptomic landscape of cardiac sarcoidosis differs from other inflammatory heart diseases. We leveraged spatial transcriptomics (GeoMx DSP) and single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNAseq) to elucidate the cellular and transcriptional landscape of cardiac sarcoidosis. Using GeoMX DSP technology, we compared the transcriptomal profile of CD68+ rich immune cell infiltrates in human cardiac sarcoidosis, giant cell myocarditis, and lymphocytic myocarditis. We performed snRNAseq of human cardiac sarcoidosis to identify immune cell types and examined their transcriptomic landscape and regulation. Using multi-channel immunofluorescence staining, we validated immune cell populations identified by snRNAseq, determined their spatial relationship, and devised an immunostaining approach to distinguish cardiac sarcoidosis from other inflammatory heart diseases. Despite overlapping histological features, spatial transcriptomics identified transcriptional signatures and associated pathways that robustly differentiated cardiac sarcoidosis from giant cell myocarditis and lymphocytic myocarditis. snRNAseq revealed the presence of diverse populations of myeloid cells in cardiac sarcoidosis with distinct molecular features. We identified GPNMB as a novel marker of multinucleated giant cells and predicted that the MITF family of transcription factors regulated this cell type. We also detected additional macrophage populations in cardiac sarcoidosis including HLA-DR+ macrophages, SYTL3+ macrophages and CD163+ resident macrophages. HLA-DR+ macrophages were found immediately adjacent to GPMMB+ giant cells, a distinct feature compared with other inflammatory cardiac diseases. SYTL3+ macrophages were located scattered throughout the granuloma and CD163+ macrophages, CD1c+ dendritic cells, non-classical monocytes, and T-cells were located at the periphery and outside of the granuloma. Finally, we demonstrate mTOR pathway activation is associated with proliferation and is selectively found in HLA-DR+ and SYLT3+ macrophages. In this study, we identified diverse populations of immune cells with distinct molecular signatures that comprise the sarcoid granuloma. These findings provide new insights into the pathology of cardiac sarcoidosis and highlight opportunities to improve diagnostic testing.

Project description:Pulmonary sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by granuloma formation and heterogeneous clinical outcome. TNF is a proinflammatory cytokine contributing to granuloma formation and high levels of TNF have been shown to associate with progressive disease. Mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) are potent producers of TNF and highly responsive to inflammation. In sarcoidosis, alveolar macrophages (AMs) have been well studied. However, MNPs also include monocytes/monocyte-derived cells and dendritic cells (DCs) that despite their central role in inflammation are poorly studied in sarcoidosis. We performed in-depth phenotypic, functional and transcriptomic analysis of MNPs subsets from blood and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from 108 sarcoidosis patients and 30 healthy controls.

Project description:Introduction: In sarcoidosis, peripheral lymphopenia and anergy have been associated with increased inflammation and maladaptive immune activity, likely promoting development of chronic and progressive disease. However, the molecular mechanisms that lead to reduced lymphocyte proportions, particularly CD4+ T-cells, have not been fully elucidated. We posit that paradoxical peripheral lymphopenia is characterized by a dysregulated transcriptomic network associated with cell function and fate that results from altered transcription factor targeting activity. Methods: Messenger RNA-sequencing (mRNA-seq) was performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from ACCESS study subjects with sarcoidosis and matched controls and findings validated on a sarcoidosis case-control cohort and a sarcoidosis case series. Preserved PBMC transcriptomic networks between case-control cohorts were assessed to establish cellular associations with gene modules and define regulatory targeting involved in sarcoidosis immune dysregulation utilizing weighted gene co-expression network analysis and differential transcription factor involvement analysis. Network centrality measures identified master transcriptional regulators of subnetworks related to cell proliferation and death. Predictive models of differential PBMC proportions constructed from ACCESS target gene expression corroborated the relationship between aberrant transcription factor regulatory activity and imputed and clinical PBMC populations in the validation cohorts. Results: We identified two unique and preserved gene modules significantly associated with sarcoidosis immune dysregulation. Strikingly, increased expression of a monocyte-driven, and not a lymphocyte-driven, gene module related to innate immunity and cell death was the best predictor of peripheral CD4+ T-cell proportions. Within the gene network of this monocyte-driven module, TLE3 and CBX8 were determined to be master regulators of the cell death subnetwork. A core gene signature of differentially over-expressed target genes of TLE3 and CBX8 involved in cellular communication and immune response regulation accurately predicted imputed and clinical monocyte expansion and CD4+ T-cell depletion. Conclusions: Altered transcriptional regulation associated with aberrant gene expression of a monocyte-driven transcriptional network likely influences lymphocyte function and survival. Although further investigation is warranted, this indicates that crosstalk between hyperactive monocytes and lymphocytes may instigate peripheral lymphopenia and underlie sarcoidosis immune dysregulation and pathogenesis. Future therapies selectively targeting master regulators, or their targets, may mitigate dysregulated immune processes in sarcoidosis and disease progression.
