Project description:Neutrophils are essential for microbial defense but can aggravate tissue damage by prolonged recruitment and activation. The complexity of neutrophil involvement in chronic inflammation underscores our limited understanding of how their adaptation and reprogramming in tissues influence disease progression. Here, we demonstrate that neutrophils recruited in acute inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), chronic granulomatous disease-associated IBD, and in murine colitis and infection models undergo rapid and extensive transcriptional reprogramming in the intestine, resulting in the emergence of DUOX2 NADPH oxidase expression. Functional studies utilizing neutrophil-specific DUOX2-inactivated mice reveal critical and dichotomous roles of DUOX2 in promoting inflammation during colitis while protecting against intestinal infection. Neutrophils with active DUOX2 amplify and prolong inflammatory responses, contributing to a more proinflammatory milieu in the intestine. These findings unveil a niche-directed reprogramming of neutrophils that orchestrates the immune response during inflammation, presenting a novel and promising target for therapeutic development in IBD.

Project description:Kilian2024 - Immune cell dynamics in Cue-Induced Extended Human Colitis Model
Single-cell technologies such as scRNA-seq and flow cytometry provide critical insights into immune cell behavior in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, integrating these datasets into computational models for dynamic analysis remains challenging. Here, Kilian et al., (2024) developed a deterministic ODE-based model that incorporates these technologies to study immune cell population changes in murine colitis. The model parameters were optimized to fit experimental data, ensuring an accurate representation of immune cell behavior over time. It was then validated by comparing simulations with experimental data using Pearson’s correlation and further tested on independent datasets to confirm its robustness. Additionally, the model was applied to clinical bulk RNA-seq data from human IBD patients, providing valuable insights into immune system dynamics and potential therapeutic strategies.
Figure 4c, obtained from the simulation of human colitis model is highlighted here.

Abstract:
Single-cell-based methods such as flow cytometry or single-cell mRNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) allow deep molecular and cellular profiling of immunological processes. Despite their high throughput, however, these measurements represent only a snapshot in time. Here, we explore how longitudinal single-cell-based datasets can be used for deterministic ordinary differential equation (ODE)-based modelling to mechanistically describe immune dynamics. We derived longitudinal changes in cell numbers of colonic cell types during inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from flow cytometry and scRNA-seq data of murine colitis using ODE-based models. Our mathematical model generalised well across different protocols and experimental techniques, and we hypothesised that the estimated model parameters reflect biological processes. We validated this prediction of cellular turnover rates with KI-67 staining and with gene expression information from the scRNA-seq data not used for model fitting. Finally, we tested the translational relevance of the mathematical model by deconvolution of longitudinal bulk mRNA-sequencing data from a cohort of human IBD patients treated with olamkicept. We found that neutrophil depletion may contribute to IBD patients entering remission. The predictive power of IBD deterministic modelling highlights its potential to advance our understanding of immune dynamics in health and disease.

Project description:Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) acting as negative regulators of gene expression are differentially expressed in intestinal tissues of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Assessing the functional role of miRNAs in murine models of colitis facilitates elucidating the role of specific miRNAs in human IBD. The aim of this study was to determine the miRNA signature of murine models of colitis and to assess the influence of miR-21 on intestinal inflammation. Methods: miRNAs expression was accessed by microarray for acute and chronic murine model of colitis induced by DSS or TNBS. miR-21-deficient mouse and littermates controls were assessed in the standard DSS, TNBS and CD4+ T cell transfer models of colitis. RNAs of mouse colon and CD4+CD45RBHigh cells were analyzed by miRNA and mRNA microarray, and quantitative RT-PCR. Th1 polarization was accessed by flow-cytometry and ELISA. Results: Alterations of in miRNAs expression were identified for acute and chronic DSS colitis and TNBS colitis, receptively. The Expression of miRs-21, -142-3p and -223 was were distinct between DSS and TNBS models while overlap of numerous miRNAs was seen. Importantly, miRs-19b, -192 and -215, that are decreased in IBD, were significantly decreased in all 4 models of colitis. miR-21, which is increased in IBD, was increased in TNBS colitis but not the DSS colitis models. Further assessment of the miR-21-deficient 1-/- mice revealed that the deletion of miR-21 results in the exacerbation of both the TNBS and T cell-transfer models of colitis. Conclusions: miRNAs are differentially expressed in both human IBD and murine colitis, with overlap of several IBD-associated miRNAs. The demonstration that miR-21 deletion exacerbated CD4+ T cell-mediated models of colitis provides further evidence that miRNAs play significant roles in the pathogenesis of IBD. miRNAs expression was accesed for acute and chronic murine model of colitis induced by DSS or TNBS.Total of 20 samples with duplicates were analyed in this study.

Project description:Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor and non-motor symptoms. People with PD often present with gastrointestinal dysfunction, such as constipation, and studies have indicated that PD is more common in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 gene (LRRK2) are responsible for approximately 1% of all PD cases and increased risk for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Among them, the LRRK2 Gly2019Ser is the most common PD-associated mutation. It is unknown how LRRK2 mutation affects intestinal inflammation susceptibility or pathogenesis of PD. Here we demonstrate that LRRK2 G2019S mutation promotes increased neutrophils migration and differential gene regulation and cell function in these cells in Citrobacter rodentium-infected mice. We found a cell-intrinsic function for LRRK2 G2019S in vivo, in increasing neutrophil chemotaxis, degranulation and NETosis, and an upregulation of Th17 immune responses, which may together contribute to the observed increased colon pathology. Transcriptionally, these neutrophils have a greater pro-inflammatory type I and II IFN response compared to WT mice. Our results increase our understanding of the role of PD-associated genes in immune cells and their contribution to immune dysregulation, which could contribute to the development of pharmacological targets and biomarkers for an easier detection and intervention in PD.

Project description:Objective Increased neutrophil extracellular trap-osis (NETosis) is a hallmark of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the mechanisms of NETosis formation and its detrimental effect on the intestinal epithelium remain poorly understood. Design Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induce colitis in peptidyl-arginine deiminase-4 deficient (PAD4-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice. PAD4, NETosis and citrullination levels were detected in mice and human volunteers. Citrullination analysis and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) were performed to explore the target of PAD4 during NETosis formation. The effect of this citrullinated target in the intestinal epithelium during the pathogenesis of IBD was validated both in vivo and in vitro. Results The levels of NETosis and citrullination were improved in IBD patients, which was positively associated with endoscopic inflammation scores. Deleting PAD4 alleviated colonic inflammation and intestinal barrier dysfunctions. In citrullination analysis, R243 of mitochondrial creatine kinase 1 (CKMT1) was identified as the potential target of PAD4 during NETosis. The scRNA-seq data further indicated that PAD4 in neutrophils contributed to the increase of epithelia (Nos2+ Clca3b+) and the decrease of distal immature epithelia. PAD4-mediated NETosis contributed to the destruction of intestinal barriers and increase of apoptosis as well as lower level of CKMT1 protein in vitro. Finally, mice with intestinal epithelial-specific ablation of CKMT1 were used to verify its detrimental role in the development of IBD, which was also validated by the moderate correlation between CKMT1 and endoscopic scores in IBD patients.

Project description:Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). To understand how microbial-metabolic circuits contribute to intestinal tissue injury, we disrupt mitochondrial function in the intestinal epithelium by deleting heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60Δ/ΔIEC). While metabolic perturbation causes self-resolving tissue injury, regeneration is disrupted in the absence of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Hsp60Δ/ΔIEC;AhR-/-) or IL-10 (Hsp60Δ/ΔIEC;Il10-/-) leading to IBD-like pathology. Tissue pathology is absent in the distal colon of germfree (GF) Hsp60Δ/ΔIEC mice, highlighting bacterial control of metabolic injury. Selective colonization of GF Hsp60Δ/ΔIEC mice with the synthetic community OMM12 confirms expansion of metabolically-flexible Bacteroides ssp., which generates metabolic injury in mono-colonized mice. Transcriptional profiling of metabolically-impaired epithelium identifies gene signatures, such as Ido1, Nos2, and Duox2, differentiating active from inactive tissue inflammation in 343 tissue sections from Crohn’s disease patients. In conclusion, mitochondrial perturbation of the epithelium causes microbiota-dependent tissue injury and discriminative inflammatory gene profiles with relevance for IBD.
