Synovial fibroblasts recall murine arthritis upon psychological stress in an IL-6 dependent manner

ABSTRACT: Psychological stress has a significant impact on the immune system. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which psychological stress flares tissue inflammation during the remission state remain unclear. In this study, we show that psychological stress flares joint inflammation in experimental arthritis-induced mice in remission. We found that IL-6 is required for this process. Additionally, we found that synovial fibroblasts expressing fibroblast activation protein expressed high levels of gp130, a signal transducer protein of IL-6. IL-6 stimulation subsequently induced the production of chemokines, such as CXCL1 and CXCL12. Our results elucidate the mechanisms by which psychological stress reactivates the memory of joint inflammation in mice with arthritis in the remission state.

The enteric nervous system relays psychological stress to intestinal inflammation [SnRNASeq_ENS]

Project description:Mental health profoundly impacts inflammatory responses in the body. This is particularly apparent in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), where psychological stress is associated with disease flares. Here, we discover a critical role for the enteric nervous system (ENS) in mediating the aggravating effect of chronic stress on intestinal inflammation. We find that chronically elevated levels of glucocorticoids drive the generation of an inflammatory subset of enteric glia that promotes monocyte- and TNF-mediated colitis via CSF1. Additionally, glucocorticoids cause transcriptional immaturity in enteric neurons, acetylcholine deficiency, and dysmotility via TGFβ2. We verify the connection between the psychological state, intestinal inflammation, and dysmotility in two cohorts of human IBD patients. Together, these findings offer a mechanistic explanation for the impact of the brain on peripheral inflammation, define the ENS as a relay between psychological stress and gut inflammation, and suggest that stress management could serve as a valuable component of IBD care.

Single-cell insights into immune dysregulation in rheumatoid arthritis flare versus drug-free remission

Project description:Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are typically characterised by relapsing and remitting flares of inflammation. However, the unpredictability of disease flares impedes their study. Addressing this critical knowledge gap, we used the experimental medicine approach of immunomodulatory drug withdrawal in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remission to synchronise flare processes, allowing characterisation with unprecedented detail. We used single cell RNA sequencing to analyse the diversity and comparative longitudinal changes in paired circulating lymphocyte samples from 12 patients with RA in remission prior to drug cessation (on-drug remission) and after drug cessation (either off drug flare, or drug-free remission) as part of the Biomarkers of Remission in Rheumatoid Arthritis (BioRRA) Study.

Arthritis Flares Mediated by Tissue Resident Memory T Cells in the Joint

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease, but disease flares typically affect only a subset of joints, distributed in a pattern that is distinctive for each patient. Pursuing this intriguing pattern, we show that arthritis recurrence is mediated by long-lived synovial resident memory T cells (TRM). In three murine models, CD8+ cells bearing TRM markers remain in previously inflamed joints during remission. These cells are bona fide TRM, exhibiting failure to migrate from joint to joint, preferential uptake of fatty acids, and long-term residency. Disease flares result from TRM activation by antigen, leading to CCL5-mediated recruitment of circulating effector cells. Correspondingly, TRM depletion ameliorates recurrence in a site-specific manner. Human rheumatoid arthritis joint tissues contain a comparable CD8+-predominant TRM population, most evident in late-stage leukocyte-poor synovium, exhibiting limited T cell receptor diversity and a pro-inflammatory transcriptomic signature. Together, these findings establish synovial TRM cells as a targetable mediator of disease chronicity in autoimmune arthritis.

A sympathetic-eosinophil neuroimmune axis orchestrates psychological stress to exacerbate skin inflammation

Project description:Psychological stress is hypothesized to trigger exacerbations of atopic dermatitis (AD). However, the neurobiological mechanisms linking stress to immune processes involved in atopy remain poorly understood. Here, we identified a subtype of skin-specific Prodynorphin (Pdyn)+ noradrenergic sympathetic neurons that closely interact with eosinophils, mediating the stress-induced aggravation of AD. Among AD patients, psychological stress was positively correlated with eosinophilic infiltration and the severity of inflammation. In AD-like murine models, genetic ablation of eosinophils or Pdyn+ sympathetic neurons mitigated stress-induced exacerbation of skin inflammation. Furthermore, optogenetic or chemogenetic activation of Pdyn+ sympathetic neurons precipitated AD inflammation through eosinophils. These neurons promote eosinophil recruitment via the CCL11-CCR3 axis and activate them through the noradrenaline-Adr2 pathway within the inflamed skin. Our findings uncover a neuroimmunological mechanism underlying psychological stress-induced exacerbation of AD, highlighting the Pdyn+ sympathetic-eosinophil axis as a crucial interface between the brain and skin inflammation, with potential therapeutic implications.

miR-548aj-3p and miR-3127-3p suppress RANKL-facilitated inflammatory cytokines and catabolic factor in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are high prevalent joint diseases in global. The common pathological features include synovial inflammation, swelling, joint destruction, and bone remodelling. Arthritis development is associated with joint inflammation, particularly in inflamed synovial cells. Synovial inflammation, driven by cytokines such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), is a crucial factor in arthritis as it contributes to joint destruction. RANKL is a vital factor that is linked to the activity of osteoclasts and the erosion of bone. Increased levels of RANKL related with the proinflammatory cytokines and cartilage degradation enzymes expression, playing a role in the course of arthritis. Medicines for arthritis have been limited by side effects and individual variability in therapeutic response. More effective treatment and drug options are needed to improve disease progression. miRNAs directly modulate gene transcription as potential option for arthritis therapeutic. Our study revealed that RANKL stimulation in OA and RA synovial fibroblasts upregulated the expression of IL-1β, IL-6 (pro-inflammatory cytokines) and MMP-13 (catabolic factor) by suppressing miR-548aj-3p and miR-3127-3p. Administration of miR-548aj-3p and miR-3127-3p mimics substantially inhibited the expression of IL-1β, IL-6 and MMP-13. We propose a potentially efficacious miRNA therapeutic approach for the treatment of arthritis, with a specific focus on OA and RA.

PIEZO1 activation and signalling is associated with inflammation permissive phenocopy of synovial resident macrophages in early arthritis

Project description:Synovial resident macrophages in humans play a key role in maintaining tissue and synovial fluid homeostasis and typically exhibit protective phenotypes. However, at the start of rheumatoid arthritis, macrophages can adopt inflammation-permissive phenotypes. The factors that influence macrophage phenotype during the early stages of arthritis are not yet fully understood. Interestingly, in mice, mechanical stress is required for the localization of joint inflammation. Given the critical roles of macrophages, we investigated whether mechanosensation contributes to the regulation of macrophage phenotypes. PIEZO1, a well-established mechanosensor expressed on macrophages, regulates various macrophage functions, including migration and phagocytosis. We found that PIEZO1 activation in macrophages shifted their phenotype to a tissue-resident (MERTKhigh, CD36high), inflammation-permissive phenocopy (TREM2low, VSIG4low), with elevated MHC class II and cytokine secretion. Additionally, in vivo activation of PIEZO1 in mice produced similar effects in synovial tissue macrophages (STMs) and led to increased recruitment of monocytes and neutrophils. By dissecting the PIEZO1 signalling pathway, we were able to restore the protective macrophage phenotype by inhibiting calpain signalling and knocking-out HIF1α, both downstream mediators of PIEZO1 activation. Furthermore, we observed that PIEZO1 expression is present in synovial macrophages from patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and decreases during remission, suggesting a link between macrophage PIEZO1 expression and disease activity
