Single cell RNA profiling of blood CD4+ T cells identifies distinct helper and dysfunctional regulatory clusters in children with SLE [CD4+ T cells]

ABSTRACT: Expansion of different CD4+ CXCR5+ and CXCR5- memory T helper cells has been reported in human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) blood. To understand their complexity, we profiled blood CD4+ T cells from heathy donors (HD) and pediatric SLE patients at the single cell level and identified naïve, memory, regulatory (Treg) and proliferative clusters, as well as a cluster defined by high expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Within the memory compartment, we mapped follicular (Tfh) and peripheral (Tph and Th10) helper cells and confirmed their expansion in patients with lupus nephritis (LN) and/or high disease activity. Cytotoxic programs mapped to effector memory T cells re-expressing CD45RA (TEMRA), as well as to two memory subclusters, one of which overlapped with Th10 cells. Importantly, we identified an expansion of dysfunctional Tregs in patients with LN, and an upregulation of TLR5 and FCRL3 in naïve SLE Tregs, potentially linking their dysfunction with mucosal microbial dysbiosis. Our studies shed light into CD4+ T cell subsets that may contribute to dysfunctional B cell help and T cell suppression in SLE.

Single cell RNA profiling of blood CD4+ T cells identifies distinct helper and dysfunctional regulatory clusters in children with SLE [PBMCs]

Pre-B cell leukemia homeobox protein Pbx1 is associated with lupus susceptibility in mice and humans

Project description:Sle1a.1 is part of the Sle1a lupus susceptibility locus which results in the production of activated and autoreactive CD4+ T cells as well as a reduction in the peripheral regulatory T cell (Treg) pool. Sle1a.1 CD4+ T cells showed a defective response to retinoic acid (RA) expansion of TGFÎ²-induced Tregs. At the molecular level, Sle1a.1 corresponds to an increased expression of a novel splice isoform of Pbx1, Pbx1-d. Pbx1-d over-expression is sufficient to induce an activated/inflammatory phenotype in Jurkat T cells, and to decrease their apoptotic response to RA. PBX1-d is expressed more frequently in lupus patients than in healthy controls, and its presence correlates with an increased memory T cell population. These findings indicate that Pbx1 is a novel lupus susceptibility gene that regulates T cell activation and tolerance. Total RNA from CD4+ T cells from C57BL/6 (B6) and B6.Sle1a.1 (Sle) mice was isolated, with 4 biological replicates each. Gene expression data from C57BL/6 mice were compared with data from B6.Sle2c1 mice.

Spontaneous Tfh cells in lupus mice vs B6/J

Project description:Autoimmune T follicular helper (Tfh) cells have different properties from B6/J nonautoimmune tfh cells. To compare differences in Tfh cells due to ongoing SLE disease, spontaneous splenic Tfh (CD4+CXCR5+PD-1+) were cell sorted from a pre-enriched population of negatively isolated total CD4 cells by autoMACS. New zealand derived triple congenic lupus strain was compared with B6/J. RNA was immediately extracted with no culturing or treatment of cells.

Gene expresison studies of lupus and healthy B cell subsets through RNA sequencing

Project description:Dramatic expansions of class switched B cells lacking IgD and CD27 (double negative; DN), are characteristic of Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE). However, their origin, clinical and immunological significance and their relationship to CD27+ memory B cells remain unclear. We demonstrate that SLE DN expansions are dominated by a CXCR5- CD21- subset with a pre-plasma cell phenotype and distinctive transcriptional, and functional properties. SLE patients with an expansion of CXCR5- DN are predominantly African-American with higher disease activity and anti-Smith/RNP autoantibodies. CXCR5- DN cells display a distinct transcriptome characterized by differential expression of cytokine receptors, transcription factors, and signaling molecules. DN express high levels of the key INFg effector factor, T-bet and associated transcription factor Zeb2 and uniquely among B cell subsets, do not express TRAF5, a negative regulator of TLR signaling. Consistent with this pattern gene expression SLE DN have enhanced responsiveness to TLR7 and can differentiate into autoantibody secreting plasma cells

A novel CD4+ T cell population expanded in SLE blood provides B cell help through IL10 and succinate

Project description:A better understanding of the mechanisms involved in human plasma cell differentiation will accelerate therapeutic target identification in autoantibody-mediated diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Here, we describe a novel CXCR5- CXCR3+ PD1hi CD4+ T cell ‘helper’ population distinct from follicular helper T cells (Tfh) and expanded in blood and inflamed kidneys of SLE patients. Upon activation, these cells express IFNand high levels of IL10. Additionally, they accumulate high amounts of mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) as the result of reverse electron transport (RET) fueled by succinate. These cells provide potent help to B cells through the synergistic effect of IL10 and succinate. Cells with similar phenotype and function are generated in vitro upon priming naïve CD4+ T cells with oxidized mitochondrial DNA (Ox mtDNA)-activated plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in a PD1-dependent manner. Our results provide a novel mechanism for the initiation and/or perpetuation of extrafollicular humoral responses in SLE.

Genome-wide peripheral blood transcriptome analysis of Arab female Lupus and Lupus nephritis

Project description:Genome-wide alternative splice analysis of RNA from lupus and its severe form lupus nephritis We aimed to explore the genome-wide peripheral blood transcriptome of lupus (SLE) and its severe form lupus nephritis (LN) cases compared to healthy subjects (HC) using high density Affymetrix Human Exon1.0.ST arrays. Analysis revealed 15 splice variants that are differentially expressed between SLE/HC and 99 variants between LN/HC (pâ¤0.05,SI>orâ¤0.5,Benjamin Hochberg-False discovery rate correction). Comparison between LN/SLE revealed 7 variants that are differentially expressed with pâ¤0.05,SI>0.5,Benjamin Hochberg-FDR correction. Pathway analysis of differentially spliced genes revealed 11 significant pathways in SLE and 12 in LN (p<0.05). Analysis of peripheral blood transcriptome revealed signature causative genes that are alternatively spliced, signifying their clinical relevance in the pathophysiology of disease. The extent of differential splicing was found to be higher in LN than in SLE, signifying the need for further in-depth research in the same domain. Present study is the first to reveal the significance of alternative variants in susceptibility to SLE and LN. We analyzed blood from 11 female subjects (5 lupus, 3 lupus nephritis and 3 healthy control) using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform. Array data was processed by Alt Analyze and Genespring software. No techinical replicates were performed. One of the outiler sample (HC2) was excluded from further analysis.

Restoration of regulatory and effector T cell balance and B cell homeostasis in systemic lupus erythematosus patients through vitamin D supplementation

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a T and B cell-dependent autoimmune disease characterized by the appearance of autoantibodies, a global regulatory T cells (Tregs) depletion and an increase in Th17 cells. Recent studies have shown the multifaceted immunomodulatory effects of vitamin D, notably the expansion of Tregs and the decrease of Th1 and Th17 cells. A significant correlation between higher disease activity and lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels was also shown. This preliminary study suggests the beneficial role of vitamin D in SLE patients and needs to be confirmed in randomized controlled trials. In this prospective study, we evaluated the safety and the immunological effects of vitamin D supplementation in 20 SLE patients with hypovitaminosis D using transcriptomic study at M0 and M2.

Expression data from virus-specific mouse Th1 and Tfh CD4 T cell subsets after LCMV infection

Project description:CD4 T follicular helper (Tfh) cells provide the required signals to B cells for germinal center reactions that are necessary for longlived antibody responses. However, it remains unclear whether there are CD4+ memory T cells committed to the Tfh lineage after antigen clearance. Using adoptive transfer of antigen-specific memory CD4+ subpopulations (based on CXCR5 and Ly6c expression)in the LCMV infection model, we found that there are distinct memory CD4+ T cell populations with commitment to the Tfh and Th1 lineages. Our conclusions are based on gene expression profiles, epigenetic studies and phenotypic and functional analysis. The gene expression profiles of virus-specific CD4 T cell subets at effector and memory stages is presented here. The SMARTA TCR transgenic / adptive transfer system was used to identify and sort subsets of antigen-specific CD4 T cells (based on their expression of Ly6c and CXCR5) elicited after acute infection with LCMV (Arm).
