Follicular helper T cells express a metabolic and cell signaling gene signature in a lupus-prone murine model

ABSTRACT: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which autoreactive follicular helper T (Tfh) cells license high-affinity autoantibody production. Strikingly, the frequency of circulating Tfh is correlated with disease activity in SLE patients. As such, understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for the aberrant Tfh cell generation and activation in lupus is of fundamental significance. We previously demonstrated that expanded Tfh cells in the B6.Sle1.Sle2.Sle3 (TC for triple congenic) lupus model exhibit high glycolysis and oxidative metabolism, which can be constrained by inhibiting glycolysis with 2-deoxyglucose (2DG). We performed RNA-seq analyses of splenic Tfh and naïve CD4+ T cells (Tn) comparing between TC and B6 mice. First, data revealed a large number of shared gene signatures in Tfh and Tn comparing between TC and B6 group, implicating that the aberrant development of Tfh initiates as early as Tn state. Further alignment of the Tfh transcriptome obtained from RNA-seq and earlier microarray assays demonstrated concerted alterations in numerous gene signatures of overactivation of T cells including dysregulated tyrosine kinase signaling and MAPK signaling pathways. Gene set enrichment analyses (GSEA) further revealed altered metabolic pathways (e.g., oxidative phosphorylation and pyruvate metabolism) among splenic TC Tfh cells.

Spontaneous Tfh cells in lupus mice vs B6/J

Project description:Autoimmune T follicular helper (Tfh) cells have different properties from B6/J nonautoimmune tfh cells. To compare differences in Tfh cells due to ongoing SLE disease, spontaneous splenic Tfh (CD4+CXCR5+PD-1+) were cell sorted from a pre-enriched population of negatively isolated total CD4 cells by autoMACS. New zealand derived triple congenic lupus strain was compared with B6/J. RNA was immediately extracted with no culturing or treatment of cells.

RNA-Sequencing of CD4, CD8 and CD19 splenocytes from mouse models of SLE

Project description:Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that affects 20-150 out of 100,000 people globally. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation from mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to risk for SLE and autoimmune states and are potential targets for the treatment of autoimmunity. HRES-1/Rab4 (Rab4A) is a GTPase linked to mitochondrial oxidative stress and activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), and has been linked to SLE pathogenesis. Here, RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to examine the expression of different classes of splenocytes (CD4+, CD8+, CD19+) from the lupus-prone SLE1.2.3. triple-congenic (B6.TC) mouse, as well as Rab4AQ72L mutant mice (which exhibits constitutive overexpression of Rab4a), and mice with CD4 T cell-specific deletion of Rab4A (KO).

Gene expression analysis in the spleen of wild type, Sle1.3 (lupus mice) and Sle1.3 mice haplodeficient for E2-2 (exhibiting non functional pDCs)

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the production of antibodies to self-nucleic acids, immune complex deposition and tissue inflammation such as glomerulonephritis. Innate recognition of molecular complexes containing self-DNA and RNA and the ensuing production of type I interferons (IFN) contribute to SLE development. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) have been proposed as a relevant source of pathogenic IFN in SLE; however, their net contribution to the disease remains unclear. We addressed this question using haplodeficiency of the pDC-specific transcription factor E2-2 (Tcf4), which causes a specific impairment of pDC function in otherwise normal animals. We report that Tcf4+/- animals were significantly protected from SLE-like disease caused by the overexpression of the endosomal RNA sensor Tlr7. The protection was also observed after the monoallelic deletion of Tcf4 specifically in the dendritic cell lineage. Furthermore, Tcf4 haplodeficiency in the B6.Sle1.Sle3 multigenic model of SLE ameliorated key disease manifestations including anti-DNA antibody production, immune activation and glomerulonephritis. These results provide genetic evidence that pDCs are critically involved in SLE pathogenesis, confirming their potential utility as therapeutic targets in the disease.

Extramedullary hematopoiesis and immune training drive systemic inflammation and associated organ damage in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (RRBS)

Project description:Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is an emerging player in peripheral tissue injury in autoimmune disorders. Here, we use the NZBW/F1 lupus mouse model to explore the contribution of EMH to disease pathogenesis of SLE. We demonstrate that EMH takes place in the spleen of F1-L mice and show it is correlated with the activity of lupus nephritis (LN). Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that splenic hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) carry a higher inflammatory potential than their bone marrow counterparts. Administration of β-glucan, an inducer of innate immunity, exacerbated splenic EMH, increased neutrophil production and worsened LN. Transcriptomic signatures of HSPCs in SLE patients with high disease activity show changes similar to the ones observed in the lupus-prone mouse model. Overall, EMH and trained immunity are ubiquitous in SLE, contributing to disease pathogenesis by sustaining and amplifying the inflammatory response and increasing the risk for flare of the disease.

ATAC-seq of primary human T Follicular Helper (TFH) cells and naive CD4-positive helper T cells from tonsils of healthy volunteers

Project description:Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have been successful in yielding >60 loci for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). However, it is known that GWAS just reports genomic signals and not necessarily the precise localization of culprit genes, with eQTL efforts only able to infer causality to a minority of such loci. Thus, we sought to carry out physical and direct ‘variant to gene mapping’ by integrating results from high-throughput chromatin conformation capture and ATAC-seq assays. This experiment refers to the ATAC-seq part of our work. To determine informative proxy SNPs for each of the SLE GWAS sentinel loci, we generated ATAC-seq open chromatin maps for primary human T Follicular Helper (TFH) cells from tonsils of healthy volunteers (3 biological replicates), a model relevant to SLE as TFH operate upstream of the activation of pathogenic autoantibody-producing B cells during the disease. We also generated open chromatin maps for naive CD4-positive helper T cells (3 biological replicates).
