The X-linked chromatin modifier SMC1A is deregulated in lupus female monocytes and promotes autoimmunity [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Biological sex underlines the onset of autoimmunity yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain ill-defined. Female susceptibility is prominent in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease of substantial burden. Herein we demonstrate that SMC1A, a subunit of the cohesin complex that escapes X-chromosome inactivation, exhibits female-biased expression in monocytes from SLE patients and those cultured under lupus-inducing stimulus. By altering SMC1A dosage, the expression of immune-related genes, particularly those responsive to lupus environment, was affected. Active enhancers of immune and inflammatory pathways showed widespread SMC1A redistribution in lupus-like monocytes, as revealed by integrated analysis of SMC1A binding, chromatin activity and accessibility. Our data support SMC1A as a sex-biased chromatin modifier that enhances inflammatory responses in lupus.

The X-linked chromatin modifier SMC1A is deregulated in lupus female monocytes and promotes autoimmunity [ChIP-Seq]

Bulk RNA Sequencing of XIST-knockdown A431 Cells

Project description:Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is among the most sex-biased autoimmune diseases identified to date, affecting 9-times more women than men. Recognition of self-RNA by Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) is implicated as a central pathogenic process leading to the aberrant production of type-I interferon (IFN) in SLE, but the specific RNA molecules contributing to this process have not been defined. Given the role of self-RNA and biological sex in SLE pathogenesis, we investigated which sex-biased self-RNAs are potentially responsible for aberrant TLR7 activation in SLE. We used recent revelations about TLR7 sequence specificity and publicly available RNA sequencing data to identify sex-biased sources of self-RNA containing TLR7 ligands. We found X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) to be a particularly rich source of TLR7 ligands that is specifically expressed in women. We then investigated the capacity of XIST to act as a TLR7 ligand in vitro and found that multiple fragments of XIST induce IFNα production in a TLR7-dependent manner more than control RNA of equal length. Furthermore, we found that RNA isolated from XIST-knockout cells have significantly reduced capacity to stimulate TLR7 compared to RNA from wild-type cells. Finally, we used flow cytometry and publicly available RNA sequencing data to investigate the connection between XIST and SLE disease variables. We found that higher XIST expression correlated with SLE disease status, higher SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) scores, and the interferon signature. Our data suggest that XIST is a source of TLR7 ligands that may underlie the sex bias in SLE.

Sex specific pertubations of neuronal development caused by mutations in the autism risk gene DDX3X

Project description:DDX3X is an X-linked RNA helicase that escapes X chromosome inactivation and is expressed at higher levels in female brains. Mutations in DDX3X are associated with intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are predominantly identified in females. Using cellular and mouse models, we show that Ddx3x mediates sexual dimorphisms in brain development at a molecular, cellular, and behavioral level. During cortical neuronal development, Ddx3x sustains a female-biased signature of enhanced ribosomal biogenesis and mRNA metabolism. Compared to male neurons, female neurons display larger nucleoli, higher expression of a set of ribosomal proteins, and a higher cytoplasm-to-nucleus ratio of ribosomal RNA. All these sex dimorphisms are obliterated by Ddx3x loss. Ddx3x regulates dendritic arborization complexity in a sex- and dose-dependent manner in both female and male neurons. Ddx3x regulates the development of dendritic spines but only in female neurons. Further, ablating Ddx3x conditionally in forebrain neurons is sufficient to yield sex-specific changes in developmental outcomes and motor function. Together, these findings pose Ddx3x as a mediator of sexual differentiation during neurodevelopment and open new avenues to understand sex differences in health and disease.

LC-MS of PBMC in SLE and healthy control

Project description:Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease that displays a significant gender difference in terms of incidence and severity. However, the underlying mechanisms accounting for sexual dimorphism remain unclear. To reveal the heterogeneity in the pathogenesis of SLE between male and female patients. PBMC were collected from 15 patients with SLE (7 males, 8 females) and 15 age-matched healthy controls (7 males, 8 females) for proteomic analysis. Enrichment analysis of proteomic data revealed that type I interferon signaling and neutrophil activation networks mapped to both male and female SLE, while male SLE has a higher level of neutrophil activation compared with female SLE. Our findings define gender heterogeneity in the pathogenesis of SLE and may facilitate the development of gender-specific treatments.

Sex-based comparison of CD4+ T cell DNA methylation patterns in SLE reveals pro-inflammatory epigenetic changes in men

Project description:Male patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) experience severe disease compared to female patients, despite the disease being more prevalent in females. For the time, we compared genome-wide differential methylation in CD4+ T cells between male (n=12) and female (n=10) SLE patients.
