Project description:Lethally irradiated mice were transferred with bone marrow cells together with allogeneic Treg cells isolated from CD226+/+ TIGIT+/+, CD226-/- TIGIT+/+, CD226+/+ TIGIT-/-, or CD226-/- TIGIT-/- mice, followed by allogeneic wild-type Tconv cells two days later to induce acute GVHD. We performed scRNA sequencing of donor T cells isolated from the spleen of recipient mice eight days after GVHD induction.

Project description:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the treatment of choice for high-risk hematological malignancies, yet a major complication associated with this therapy is acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Despite a well-defined pathophysiological mechanism, there are no definitive markers for predicting acute GVHD development or progression to advanced stages. In the current study, we enrolled four acute GVHD and four acute GVHD-free recipients of allogeneic HSCT and collected peripheral blood just prior to onset of clinical acute GVHD for analysis on Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays. We noted significant differences in expression of 1,658 genes between control and acute GVHD patients, based on an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) by type of transplant, a pooled error estimate, and a false discovery rate (FDR) of 10%. In conclusion, we offer the first report of a preliminary molecular signature of acute GVHD in allogeneic HSCT patients.

Project description:Wildtype (WT) BALB/c mice were treated with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) in order to induce acute GVHD. C57BL/6 mice were used bone marrow (BM) and T cell donor mice. We studied the effect of oral hBD-2 treatment versus vehicle (PBS) control treatment on the gene expression in the colon, as main GVHD target organ.

Project description:Steroid-refractory gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GI GVHD) is a major barrier to successful hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Poor understanding of the pathophysiology of GI GVHD contributes to continued poor outcomes and high mortality rates. We therefore obtained rectosigmoidal mucosal biopsies from post-HSCT patients with GI GVHD and submitted them to RNA-sequencing in order to transcriptomally characterize GI GVHD. These were compared to patients undergoing endoscopy for routine clinical indications. Using single end, 50bp reads processed using Kallisto using genome annotations from Gencode v24 with transcripts per million as the output. We included 14,239 trancsripts in our analysis, where we compared GVHD vs non-GVHD with significance defined as FDR<0.05 and FC 1.5 using R package DESeq2. We identified 164 key genes, of which 141 were upregulated in GVHD, and were ontologically related to microbial response, key immune effectors, and cell migration/chemotaxis. Down-regulated genes were related to nutrient metabolism. Additionally, we performed WGCNA that highlighted ERK as a key upregulated pathway in GI GVHD.

Project description:Skin acute graft-vs-host disease (aGVHD) is often the first manifestation of GVHD, yet very few preclinical and clinical studies have focused on this target organ, leaving a critical information gap in the pathophysiology of GVHD. We hypothesized that analysis of host gene expression and microbiome profiling could yield novel insights into the molecular and immunologic mechanisms underlying skin GVHD. Our objectives were to determine the differential host gene expression and microbiome profile of human skin aGVHD samples compared to normal skin, and aGVHD corticosteroid responders to non-responders. We performed RNA-Sequencing on lower arm biopsies from 45 patients compared to 10 healthy controls. Our findings suggest a distinctive transcriptional signature of cutaneous aGVHD, that could identify potentially actionable targets for prevention or treatment of corticosteroid refractory disease. Our analysis suggests a key role of dendritic cells and macrophages, potentially mediated by differential expression of MIF, in the development of cutaneous aGVHD and corticosteroid responsiveness. Additionally, we describe a unique microbial signature in cutaneous aGVHD that includes skin microbes not previously described in this population.

Project description:Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) remains a significant complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is becoming increasingly recognised, where brain-infiltrating donor MHC class II+ bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) drive pathology. BMDM are also mediators of cutaneous and pulmonary cGVHD, and clinical trials assessing the efficacy of antibody blockade of colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) to deplete macrophages are promising. We hypothesised that CSF1R antibody blockade may also be a useful strategy to prevent/treat CNS cGVHD. Increased blood-brain barrier permeability during acute GVHD (aGVHD) facilitated CNS antibody access and microglia depletion by anti-CSF1R treatment. However, CSF1R blockade early post-transplant unexpectedly exacerbated aGVHD neuroinflammation. In established cGVHD, vascular changes and anti-CSF1R efficacy were more limited. Anti-CSF1R-treated mice retained donor BMDM, activated microglia, CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, and local cytokine expression in the brain. These findings were recapitulated in GVHD recipients where CSF1R was conditionally depleted in donor CX3CR1+ BMDM. Notably, inhibition of CSF1R signalling post-transplant failed to reverse GVHD-induced behavioural changes. Moreover, we observed aberrant behaviour in non-GVHD control recipients administered anti-CSF1R blocking antibody and naïve mice lacking CSF1R in CX3CR1+ cells, revealing a novel role for homeostatic microglia and indicating that ongoing clinical trials of CSF1R inhibition should assess neurological adverse events in patients. In contrast, transfer of Ifngr-/- grafts could reduce MHC class II+ BMDM infiltration, resulting in improved neurocognitive function. Our findings highlight unexpected neurological immune toxicity during CSF1R blockade and provide alternative targets for the treatment of cGVHD within the CNS.

Project description:Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) results from recognition of host antigens by donor T cells following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantion (AHCT). Notably, histoincompatibility between donor and recipient is necessary but not sufficient to elicit GVHD. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that some donors may be “stronger alloresponders” than others, and consequently more likely to elicit GVHD. To this end, we analyzed the gene expression profile of CD4 and CD8 T cells from 50 AHCT donors. We found that pre-AHCT gene expression profiling segregates donors whose recipient suffered from GVHD or not. The “dangerous donor” trait (GVHD+ recipient) is under polygenic control and is shaped by the activity of genes that regulate diverse cell functions including TGF-β signaling and cell proliferation. We also performed gene expression profiling in T cells harvested from 40 AHCT recipients on day 365 post-AHCT. The donor gene profile defined on day 0 showed exceedingly strong correlation with that of recipient CD4 and CD8 T cells harvested one year post-AHCT. These data suggest that donor gene profiles linked with GVHD were largely imprinted at the hematopoietic stem cell level. The ability to discriminate strong and weak alloresponders using gene expression profiling could pave the way to personalized transplantation medicine.

Project description:A non-invasive diagnostic test does not exist for acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD). We therefore sought to identify biomarkers for aGVHD using antibody microarrays (Schleicher and Schuell Serum Biomarker Chips, Whatman) that simultaneously assayed 120 plasma proteins. We measured these proteins in a set of 42 patient plasma samples following an allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT): 21 patients with a diagnosis of aGVHD grade II-IV (+GVHD) and 21 patients without aGVHD (–GVHD) at similar times after transplant. We excluded data from 2 hybridizations that had very bright dots and appeared as outliers in preliminary principal components analysis, so that we finally compared 20 +GVHD to 20 -GVHD samples.

Project description:ICA-treatment following allogeneic bone marrow transplant in mice limited GvHD pathology and GVHD mortality, augmented the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier, and limited production of inflammatory cytokines, but did not compromise donor T cell-mediated Graft vs. Leukemia (GvL) responses. Following protracted exposure, ICA treatment also induced donor-strain-specific tolerance of engrafted T cells. We used microarray to assess gene expression changes induced by ICA in the small intestine in animals with GvHD.
