DNA methylation analysis of synovial fibroblasts from mice undergoing collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) treated, or not, with the the helminth-derived immunomodulator, ES-62

ABSTRACT: Aim: Synovial fibroblasts (SFs) undergo a rewiring of their DNA methylation landscape that is associated with their development of an aggressive pathogenic phenotype during Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), both in humans and in CIA, a mouse model of this chronic inflammatory disease. The helminth-derived immunomodulator, ES-62 acts to prevent joint destruction in CIA by suppressing pathogenic SF responses. We therefore investigated whether ES-62 suppressed the changes in DNA methylation observed in SFs from CIA, relative to those from healthy, mice. Methods: The DNA methylation status of SFs from naïve (no induction of CIA), CIA and ES-62-treated mice undergoing CIA (CIA_ES-62) was compared by Reduced Representation Bilsulphite Sequencing (RRBS) analysis performed by the Active Motif service. Results: Synovial fibroblasts from naive, CIA and CIA_ES-62 mice exhibit differential genomic methylation profiles. Conclusion: ES-62 protection against joint protection in CIA is not associated with prevention of the changes in DNA methylation occurring during rewiring of naive SFs to aggressively pathogenic CIA SFs but rather, reflects generation of a distinct ES-62 phenotype of SF genomic methylation.

Transcriptomic analysis of synovial cells derived from collagen-induced arthritis mice

Project description:The destruction of bone and cartilage results in a loss of joint functionality, critically impairing the quality of life in arthritis patients. Synovial fibroblasts (SFs) critically contribute to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by acquiring either a pro-inflammatory or tissue-destructive phenotype. To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenic fibroblast phenotype in arthritis, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on the synovial cells which were isolated from collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice.

miR-221/222 drive synovial fibroblast expansion and pathogenesis of TNF-mediated arthritis

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute fine tuners of gene expression and are implicated in a variety of diseases spanning from inflammation to cancer. miRNA expression is deregulated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), however, their specific role in key arthritogenic cells such as the synovial fibroblast (SF) remains elusive. We have shown in the past that the expression of the miR-221/222 cluster is upregulated in RA SFs. Here, we demonstrate that miR-221/222 activation is downstream of major inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF and IL-1β, which promote miR-221/222 expression independently. miR-221/222 expression in SFs from the huTNFtg mouse model of arthritis correlates with disease progression. Targeted transgenic overexpression of miR-221/222 in SFs of the huTNFtg mouse model led to further expansion of synovial fibroblasts and disease exacerbation. miR-221/222 overexpression altered the transcriptional profile of SFs igniting pathways involved in cell cycle progression and ECM regulation. Validated targets of miR-221/222 included p27 and p57 cell cycle inhibitors, as well as Smarca1 (a chromatin remodeling component). In contrast, complete genetic ablation of miR-221/222 in arthritic mice led to decreased proliferation of fibroblasts, reduced synovial expansion and attenuated disease. scATAC-seq data analysis revealed increased miR-221/222 gene activity in the pathogenic and activated clusters of the intermediate and lining compartment. Taken together, our results establish an SF-specific pathogenic role of the miR-221/222 cluster in arthritis and suggest that its therapeutic targeting in specific subpopulations should inform the design of novel fibroblast-targeted therapies for human disease.

Response of synovial fibroblasts to TNFα and IL6/sIL6R

Project description:Synovial fibroblasts (SF) are the main mesenchymal cell type constitutive in human synovial tissue. SF contribute to the homeostasis of normal joints by synthesizing extracellular matrix components and secreting the specific components of synovial fluid. SF are essential players in RA pathophysiology, they are the primary source of IL6 in the RA synovium contributing to perpetuate the inflammation in the joint. We used microarrays analysis to characterize the effector pro-inflammatory response of SF to TNFα and IL6/sIL6R signaling.

Metabolism in synovial macrophages are reprogrammed by synovial fibroblasts under inflammatory condition

Project description:Macrophages have plasticity to adapt microenvironment. In joint tissue, synovial macrophages (SM) and synovial fibroblasts (SF) are maintained in the homeostasis. In Rheumatoid arthritis, crosstalk between SM and SF via inflammatory response induce abnormal activation in respective cells and contribute to disease progression. However, the activation mechanisms in SM which are encouraged by SF are largely unclear. Here, we demonstrated metabolic reprogramming and immunological activation in SM by secretary stimulations from SF using primary culture synovial cell derived from arthritis model mice. To analyze interaction between SM and SF, primary culture of murine synovial cells was performed, respectively. RNA-seq analysis showed SF express abundant secretion-related gene. Thus, we investigated whether conditioned medium from SF (SF-CM) affects biological activity in SM. As the results, SF-CM condition induced both glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration to SM with increased uptake of glucose and glutamine at least, accompanied with cell survival. In addition, several inflammation markers were also upregulated in SM by SF-CM condition. Taken together, these results suggest that metabolic reprogramming were induced in SM by secretory stimulations from SF, followed by activated inflammatory response and long-live. These indicate that such phenotypes of SM may contribute to chronic inflammation in Rheumatoid arthritis

Repurposing of a known antipsychotic drug to target arthritogenic synovial fibroblasts

Project description:We applied quantitative mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics to investigate the phosphoproteome of hTNF-stimulated and Amisulpride-treated synovial fibroblasts (SFs), as part of a study aiming to find new potent orally-administered therapeutics to reverse the pathogenic expression signature of arthritogenic SFs. Phosphoproteomics analysis were done by DIA-based phosphoproteomic profiling of synovial fibroblasts. Samples consisted of hTNF-induced WT SFs. Three different time points (5’, 15’, 30’) of hTNF induction were used and compared to cells pretreated with Amisulpride for 1h before being stimulated at similar time points with hTNF (5’, 15’, 30’).

Obesity defined molecular endotypes in the synovium of patients with osteoarthritis provides a rationale for therapeutic targeting of fibroblast subsets

Project description:This study aimed to establish molecular endotypes in osteoarthritis soft joint tissue driven by obesity in both load-bearing and non-load bearing joints. Transcriptomic analysis found the inflammatory landscape of OA synovial fibroblasts (SF) are independently impacted by obesity, joint loading, and anatomical site with significant heterogeneity between obese and normal weight patients. These findings demonstrate the significance of obesity in changing the inflammatory landscape of synovial fibroblasts in both load bearing and non-load bearing joints. The molecular endotypes identified may provide a route for the stratification of patients in clinical trials, providing a rational for the therapeutic targeting of specific SF subsets in specific patient populations with arthritic conditions.

Next Generation Sequencing to understand the pathogenic role of synovial fibroblasts in experimental models of arthritis

Project description:The goal of this study is to define the pathophysiology of synovial fibroblasts in chroninc joint inflammation using NGS-derived synovial transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) Methods: Synovial fibroblasts were isolated by FACs sorting [CD45-CD31-Popdoplanin+] from the synovium of healthy mice and mice undergoing experimental Collagen-Induced Arthritis (12 weeks old)(CIA). Methods: Whole Transcriptome Profiling of healthy and CIA synovial fibroblasts were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina NextSeq™ 500 platform. Libraries were prepared using polyA selection (TruSeq stranded mRNA kit). Methods: The sequence reads that passed quality filters were aligned to mouse reference genome (GRCM38) using Hisat2 version 2.1.0. we mapped about 30 million sequence reads per sample (75 bp, paired-end) Methods: Featurecounts version 1.4.6 was used to quantify reads counts. Data quality control, non-expressed gene filtering, median ratio normalization (MRN) implemented in DESeq2 package and identification of differentially expressed (DE) genes were done using the R bioconductor project DEbrowser. Results: Results: We detected several differentially expressed (DE) genes in CIA synovial fibroblasts compared to naïve cells. These included 298 up-regulated genes and 88 down-regulated (>2 fold, adjp <0.05). DE genes reflected the reflecting the hyperplasia and activation observed during chronic joint disease. Pathways associated to DE genes were cell cycle and cell division and inflammatory response. Conclusions: our study shows pathophysiological changes associated to inflammatory synovial fibroblasts in a model of rheumatoid arthritis. Cells were directly isolated from fresh tissue, providing a valuable tool to study stromal inflammation.

Epigenetic regulator UHRF1 suppressively organize multiple pathogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis [MBD-seq]

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by chronic synovial inflammation with aberrant epigenetic alterations, leading joint destruction. However, epigenetic regulatory mechanisms underlying RA pathogenesis remain largely unknown. Here we showed that Ubiquitin-like containing PHD and RING finger domains 1 (known as UHRF1) is a central epigenetic regulator to suppressively orchestrate the expression of multiple exacerbation factors in RA. We found remarkable up-regulation of Uhrf1, which is known as a key molecular for maintenance of DNA methylation during cell division 1-3, in murine arthritis tissue, especially synovial fibroblasts (SF). SF-specific Uhrf1 conditional knockout mice indicated more severe arthritic phenotypes with apoptosis resistant SF. Integrative analysis between transcriptome and methylome showed that expression of several cytokines including Ccl20 were up-regulated in Uhrf1-deficient SF. In RA patients, disease activity scores, CCL20 expression, Th17 accumulation, apoptosis resistance were negatively correlated with UHRF1 expression in synovium. Finally, stabilization of UHRF1 by administration of Ryuvidine improved pathogenesis of arthritis model mice. Our results demonstrated that UHRF1 expressed in SF contributes to suppressively orchestrate expression of genes of multiple exacerbating factors under RA progression. Targeting UHRF1 could provide a novel therapeutic strategy for RA.

Gene Expression Profiling of IL-17A-treated Synovial Fibroblasts from the Human Temporomandibular Joint

Project description:Synovial fibroblasts contribute to the inflammatory temporomandibular joint under pathogenic stimuli. Synovial fibroblasts and T cells participate in the perpetuation of joint inflammation in a mutual activation feedback, via secretion of cytokines and chemokines that stimulate each other. IL-17 is an inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by Th17 cells that plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of numerous autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Here, we investigated the roles of IL-17A in temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) by using genome-wide analysis of synovial fibroblasts isolated from patients with TMD. We analyzed the gene expression profiles of synovial fibroblasts that were treated with or without IL-17A. IL-17 induced gene expression in synovial fibroblasts from human temporomandibular joint was measured at 4 hours after treated with IL-17A (10 ng/ml) and untreated control samples. This experiment used one donor sample.
