Clonal sharing of CD8+ T-cells links skin and joint inflammation in psoriatic arthritis

ABSTRACT: We hypothesised that skin and joint inflammation in psoriatic arthritis is linked in terms of CD8+ T-cell phenotype and clonality. We employed scRNAseq to directly compare the transcriptional signature and T-cell receptor repertoire of memory T-cells from paired skin and synovial tissue+/-fluid from patients with psoriatic arthritis. We identified an enrichment of type-17 CD8+ tissue-resident memory (TRM) cells in both skin and joint, with a stronger IL-17 signature in the skin than the joint. Importantly, we identified several T-cell clones that are shared between the skin and the joint. Shared clones tended to have the same phenotype at both sites, characterised by increased expression of genes associated with a cytotoxic, tissue-resident phenotype. This supports the hypothesis that skin and joint inflammation is linked in terms of T-cell clonality and raises the possibility that specific T-cells migrate between these compartments to propagate inflammation across both sites.

Transcriptomic analysis of epidermal sheets 1 week after induced keratinocyte deletion of A20 (Tnfaip3) in adult mice

Project description:A20 (TNFAIP3) is genetically associated with both Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis in humans. We find that induced deletion of A20 (Tnfaip3) in keratinocytes leads to fully penetrant psoriatic cutaneous inflammation and Psoriatic Arthritis-like joint disease in adult mice. To determine the early molecular pathways that trigger skin and joint inflammation, we performed transcriptomic profiling of epidermal gene expression 1 week following induced deletion of keratinocyte A20 in adult mice. Pathways analysis identified elevation of genes associated with MyD88-dependent and antiviral signaling following keratinocyte A20 deletion. Using compund mutants that prevent keratinocyte MyD88 signaling or antiviral signaling from Type I interferon receptors, we found that keratinocyte MyD88 signaling is required for development of psoriatic skin and joint inflammation following keratinocyte A20 deletion. These results identify unrestrained MyD88 signaling as a key mediator of psoriatic inflammation and psoriatic arthritis-like pathology caused by deletion of keratinocyte A20 in adult mice.

KLK6 expression in skin induces PAR1-mediated psoriasiform dermatitis and inflammatory joint disease

Project description:Kallikrein-related peptidase 6 (KLK6) is a secreted serine protease hypothesized to promote inflammation via cleavage of protease-activated receptors (PAR)1 and PAR2. KLK6 levels are elevated in multiple inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, but no definitive role in pathogenesis has been established. Here, we show that skin-targeted overexpression of KLK6 causes generalized, severe psoriasiform dermatitis with spontaneous development of debilitating psoriatic arthritis-like joint disease. The psoriatic skin and joint phenotypes are reversed by normalization of skin KLK6 levels and attenuated following genetic elimination of PAR1 but not PAR2. Conservation of this regulatory pathway was confirmed in human psoriasis using vorapaxar, an FDA-approved PAR1 antagonist, on explanted lesional skin from psoriasis patients. Beyond defining a critical role for KLK6-PAR1 signaling in promoting psoriasis, our results demonstrate that KLK6-PAR1-mediated inflammation in the skin alone is sufficient to drive inflammatory joint disease. Further, we identify PAR1 as a promising cytokine-independent target in therapy of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

Spreading of inflammation: the skin-joint axis

Project description:The spread of inflammation from the skin to the joints is a key issue in the pathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Psoriasis (PsO), one of the most common skin diseases, usually precedes joint manifestations, suggesting skin-joint disease spread, which occurs in about 30% of psoriasis patients. Until now, it has been unclear why the inflammatory process remains restricted to the skin in some patients with PsO, whereas it spreads to tendons and joints in others. Using a preclinical model of PsA, we aimed to elucidate the skin-joint axis, i.e. the spread of psoriatic inflammation from the skin to the joints. KAEDE transgenic mice expressing a photo-convertible fluorescent reporter were used to assess cell trafficking from inflamed skin to other organs in the mouse model of IL-23 overexpression (IL-23OE) induced PsA. Psoriatic skin lesions were irradiated with UV light to induce the photoswitch from KAEDE-GREEN to KAEDE-RED. Migrating cells were characterised by scRNAseq.

Single cell analysis reveals multiple subsets of CD8+ TRM and non-TRM cells with a type 17 signature in the inflamed psoriatic arthritis joint

Project description:CD69+CD103+ tissue-resident memory T-cells (TRM) are increasingly recognised as important drivers of inflammation. To decipher their potential role in inflammatory arthritis, we applied single cell, high-dimensional profiling (CyTOF and scRNAseq) to T-cells isolated from the joint of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We identified three broad groups of synovial CD8+ TRM cells: cytotoxic and Treg-like TRM cells were present in the inflamed joints of patients with both PsA and RA, while CD161+CXCR6+ type 17-like TRM cells with a pro-inflammatory cytokine profile (IL-17A+TNFa+IFNg+) and a distinct transcriptomic signature and a polyclonal, but distinct TCR repertoire, were specifically enriched in the inflamed joints of patients with PsA. Type 17-like cells were also enriched in non-TRM CD8+ T-cells in PsA compared to RA. These findings add substantively to the accumulating evidence that the immunopathology of PsA and RA is different, with a particular role for type 17 cells in PsA.

Gut microbe-derived short-chain fatty acids regulate joint inflammation and osteoclast activation after alphavirus infection

Project description:Although oral antibiotics can predispose to joint inflammation, this phenomenon remains poorly understood. Here, we leverage mouse models of alphavirus arthritis to investigate the gut commensals, metabolites, and host mechanisms that promote musculoskeletal inflammation. Mice treated with a short course of oral antibiotics exhibited worsened arthritis after chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection. This phenotype was associated with loss of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and greater intestinal permeability, and required TLR4 signaling, MyD88 expression, monocytes, antigen-specific and bystander CD4+ T cells, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Administration of exogenous SCFA or colonization of mice with bacterial species that generate SCFA mitigated CHIKV-induced joint inflammation. Single cell RNA sequencing revealed that gut-derived SCFA restrain the inflammatory phenotype of synovial CD4+ T cells and limit activation of monocytes and osteoclast-like cells. Thus, antibiotic-triggered gut dysbiosis exacerbates alphavirus arthritis by shaping the inflammatory profile of both infiltrating and resident immune cells in joint tissues.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of IkbkbV203I Tregs from spleen and bone marrow

Project description:Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) typically suppress immune responses to prevent autoimmunity and aberrant inflammatory responses. In addition, tissue resident Tregs contribute to homeostasis and repair of non-lymphoid parenchyma. We generated a mouse model of a human inborn error of immunity arising from a gain-of-function missense mutation inIkbkband observed cell-intrinsic expansion of Tregs that maintained expression of Foxp3 and CD25. Remarkably, a subset of Tregs in this model expressed IL-17. We show by scRNA seq that NF-kB regulates specifically the expansion of a subset tissue Tregs, previously names skin NLT. Mice homozygous for theIkbkbmutation developed psoriasis, while homozygous mice also developed features of psoriatic arthritis. Skin NLTs were enriched at sites of pathology, and disease was dependent on the presence of pathological Tregs. Thus, we identify canonical NF-kB as a regulator tissue Treg differentiation and that this pathway can explain aberrant tissue healing responses that underpin psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

RNAseq analysis for tails, and ears from Ikbkb mut/mut and Ikbkb wt/wt mice

Project description:Loss-of-function mutations have provided crucial insights into the immunoregulatory actions of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs). By contrast, we know very little about the consequences of defects that amplify aspects of Treg function or differentiation. We report that mice heterozygous for an Ikbkb gain-of-function (GoF) mutation develop psoriasis. Doubling the gene dose (IkbkbGoF/GoF) results in dactylitis, spondylitis, and characteristic nail changes, which are features of psoriatic arthritis. IkbkbGoF mice exhibit a selective expansion of Foxp3+ CD25+ Tregs of which a subset express IL-17. These modified Tregs were enriched at the inflamed tissues and spleen, and their transfer was sufficient to induce disease without conventional T cells. Single-cell transcriptional and phenotyping analyses of isolated Tregs revealed expansion of non-lymphoid tissue (tissue-resident) Tregs expressing Th17-related genes, Helios, tissue-resident markers including CD103 and CD69, and a prominent NF-kB transcriptome. Thus, IKK2 regulates tissue-resident Treg differentiation, and overactivity drives dose-dependent skin and systemic inflammation.

D-mannose suppressed γδ T cells and alleviated murine psoriasis.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic skin suffering with multiple comorbidities such as psoriatic arthritis and cardiovascular diseases. Increasing evidences have shown the γδ T cells as the sources of IL-17A play critical roles in the psoriatic syndrome. However, there is still lack an effective way to manipulate these pathogenic γδ T cells which were less studied relative to ab T cells. The present study aims to characterize the phenotype of γδ T cells and evaluate the impact of D-mannose (a C-2 epimer of glucose) on γδ T-mediated psoriasis. We found the psoriatic γδ T cells underwent robust proliferation and acquired an IL-17 producing phenotype. The transcriptomic profiles of these skin draining LN γδ T cells had elevated glycolytic features. Importantly, Treatment of D-mannose inhibited γδ T cells and successfully alleviated the local and systematic inflammations induced by imiquimod. The decreased AKT/mTOR/HIF-1a signaling and glycolytic ability may contribute to the suppression of γδ T cells achieved by mannose. Our study deepened the understandings of γδ T cells in psoriasis, meanwhile, promoted D-mannose utilization as a potent clinical application for γδ T cells driven autoimmune diseases.

10x single cell gene expression and V(D)J immune profiling of T cells from the blood, synovial fluid and synovial tissue in psoriatic arthritis patients

Project description:This study shows the pronounced expansion of CD8 T cell clones at sites of active inflammation within the joints of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients compared to blood, and characterises the gene expression of expanded clones using droplet based single cell RNA sequencing. Mononuclear cells were separated from freshly acquired paired peripheral blood and synovial fluid samples from 3 PsA patients using density gradient separation, then enriched for CD4 and CD8 T cells using FACS. Additionally, CD45+ leukocytes were enriched by FACS from the cryopreserved synovial tissue of 2 further PsA patients. All cells were then processed using a 10x Chromium Controller and sequenced by Illumina HiSeq 4000 (peripheral blood / synovial fluid) or NovaSeq with S2 flowcell (synovial tissue).
