Single-cell RNA sequencing of B cells from healthy donors and SLE patients

ABSTRACT: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by pathogenic auto-antibodies that cause end organ damage. B cells are thought to play a central role in the immunopathogenesis of SLE and display several abnormalities in patients, including a strong type I interferon signature as well as lower expression of surface markers including TLR9 and FcγRIIB. To characterize differences in the proportion of distinct B cell subsets as well as intrinsic transcriptomic differences between B cells from healthy donors and SLE patients, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on B cells isolated from PBMCs of donors. Several notable features were observed, including a strong interferon response signature among SLE B cells, and the expansion of CD11c+T-bet+ B cell subsets in these patients. Additionally, several surface molecules including MHC Class II proteins and surface proteins such as CD74 and CD52 were found to be differentially expressed in B cells isolated from SLE patients. The differences in B cell subset proportion as well as expression of various genes might play a role in B cell mediated pathogenesis of SLE.

The regulation and pharmacological modulation of immune complex induced type III IFN production by plasmacytoid dendritic cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:Objective: Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) have an ongoing interferon (IFN) production due to an activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), which can be triggered to type I IFN synthesis by RNA containing immune complexes (RNA-IC). Considering emerging data suggesting a role of type III interferon (IFN) in the SLE disease process, we asked if RNA-IC can induce type III IFN production in pDC, and how this production can be regulated. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or immune cell subsets were isolated from healthy blood donors or SLE patients and stimulated with IC containing U1 snRNP and SLE-IgG (RNA-IC). Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and an interleukin receptor 1 associated kinase 4 inhibitor (IRAK4i) were added to cell cultures. Cytokine mRNA levels were determined with a microarray and protein levels with immunoassays. Single-cell RNA-sequencing of pDCs using ddSEQ technology was performed. Results: Type III IFN mRNA and protein was induced in RNA-IC stimulated pDC-NK and pDC-B cell co-cultures. A subset of activated pDCs (3%) expressed both type III and type I IFN mRNA. IFN-λ2, IFN-α2b, interleukin (IL)-3, IL-6 or granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) enhanced IFN-λ1/3 production 2-5-fold. HCQ and an IRAK4i blocked the RNA-IC-triggered IFN-λ1/3 production (p<0.01). IFN-α2b and GM-CSF increased the proportion of SLE patients producing IFN-λ1/3 in response to RNA-IC from 11 to 33%. Conclusions: Type III IFN production is triggered by RNA-IC in pDCs in a TLR-MyD88-dependent manner, enhanced by NK and B cells as well as several pro-inflammatory cytokines. These results support a contributing role for both type I and type III IFNs in SLE, which needs to be considered when targeting the IFN system in this disease.

RNA-seq of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) derived from normal healthy donors and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), also known simply as lupus, is an autoimmune disease. There is no cure for SLE. The mechanism involves an immune response by autoantibodies against a person's own tissues. However, the mechanism underlying imbalance of autoantibodies is not clear. In this experiment, peripheral blood was obtained from normal healthy donors and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were separated by Ficoll separation solution. Samples of four (total eight) donors were pooled and Samples of four (total eight) SLE patients were pooled. The aim was to characterize the mRNA profile of SLE patients compared to healthy donors and find the new target of diagnosis or treatment for SLE.

Transcriptional profiles of pediatric SLE neutrophils and Healthy neutrophils cultured with SLE sera or Interferon

Project description:Mature neutrophis were freshly isolated from blood of pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and healthy donors. Illumina microarray was used to assess transcriptional changes between SLE group and Control group. To uderstand further the gene expression difference between SLE and healthy neutrofils, neutrophils from healthy donors were cultured with autologous sera, SLE sera or Interferon and microarray data was used to compare with fresh SLE neutrophils. (Expt 1) Neutrophils from 21 SLE samples (19 patients) and 12 healthy donors were isolated, and extracted RNAs were used generate microarray data. (Expt 2) Neutrophils isolated from 2 healthy children (not used in the first experiment) were cultured with autologous sera (control), Interferon alpha (100U and 1000U), and 4 SLE sera and 6 SLE sera for 6 hours and RNAs were extract for microarray experiment.

Gene expression in RNP autoantibody+ systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patient blood

Project description:The goal of this study was to characterize gene expression profiles in RNP autoantibody+ SLE versus healthy blood donors with a focus on select cytokines that may be important in B cell activation and differentiation, including BAFF, IL-21, and IL-33. We utilized Affymetrix microarrays to characterize the global program of gene expression in the SLE patients, and to identify differentially expressed genes in patients compared to healthy controls. We examined a cohort of 79 consecutive patients classified as anti-ribonuclear protein (anti-RNP)+ systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). All patients provided RNA samples obtained after providing informed consent. There were 73 female and 6 male subjects. Disease duration ranged from 0 to 453 months with a median of 37.5 months. SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) ranged from 0 to 31 with a median of 6. mRNA from the blood of a SLE cohort (79 patients with some repeat visits for a total of 99 arrays) and 30 healthy volunteers (one array per volunteer) were analyzed.

Investigations into SCAMP5, a candidate lupus risk gene expressed in plasmacytoid dendritic cells

Project description:Objective: We have investigated the molecular function of SCAMP5, a candidate risk gene for SLE exclusively expressed in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) among peripheral leucocytes. Methods: We tested the independence of the association in SCAMP5 with SLE by performing conditional analyses. We profiled the expression pattern of SCAMP5 among circulating leucocytes at the transcript and protein levels. Using lentiviral vectors, we localised the subcellular distribution of SCAMP5 alongside the interferon secretory pathway. We analysed pDCs for the expression of SCAMP5 and interferon production capacity by SCAMP5 genotype. Finally, we examined pDC-specific SCAMP5 isoforms by total RNAseq analysis and examined for genotype associated quantitative differences therein. Results: A conditional analysis revealed evidence of an independent genetic association of SCAMP5 with SLE. Among circulating leucocytes, SCAMP5 is uniquely expressed in pDCs at the transcript and protein levels, with main presence in the Golgi apparatus and minor presence at the cell periphery. In live cells, Scamp5 displayed dynamic Golgi cell surface trafficking and localised with the interferon secretory pathway. SCAMP5 did not differ in expression levels in pDCs between genotyped donors; however, a transient interferon secretory defect was noted in pDCs from donors carrying the risk genotype. Conclusions: SCAMP5 constitutes a novel SLE risk gene on the basis of genomic data and expression in a cell type widely implicated in SLE pathogenesis. While we could not find evidence of quantitative expression differences in SCAMP5 between genotyped donors, SCAMP5 remains an attractive gene to explore given its highly restricted expression pattern and colocalisation with interferon secretion.
