Project description:Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most prevalent symptomatic primary antibody deficiency. For unclear reasons, inflammatory complications, like gastrointestinal (GI) disease, occur in ~50% of CVID cases, worsening morbidity and mortality. NFKB1 variants are among the most frequent genetic variants in CVID. While impact of NFKB1 variants is not well understood, we previously found frameshift heterozygous NFKB1 variants to increase cytokines, monocytes, and inflammatory complications in CVID. In this report, we used induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived monocytes (iMONOs) with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing to study a heterozygous NFKB1 frameshift found in a CVID patient with severe GI disease. The heterozygous NFKB1 variant similarly reduced NFKB1 protein in CVID patient and healthy donor derived iMONOs, but elevated lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-1β release and expression of inflammatory genes, including IL1B, IL6, TNF, and neutrophil chemoattractants only in CVID patient iMONOs. CVID patient iMONOs also had elevations of IL-12, CCL4, and CCL12 unaffected by presence or absence of the NFKB1 variant. TNF antagonism improved the patient’s GI disease, diminishing neutrophilic gastritis, circulating neutrophils, and the neutrophil chemoattractant CXCL1 in the blood. While the biology remains complex, our approach found heterozygous NFKB1 variant-induced inflammatory changes intensified in CVID iMONOs, corresponding with clinical response to TNF antagonism.

Project description:The homeostasis of circulating B cell subsets in the peripheral blood of healthy adults is well regulated, but in disease it can be severely disturbed. Thus, a subgroup of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) presents with an extraordinary expansion of an unusual B cell population characterized by the low expression of CD21. Since these circulating atypical B cells in the blood of CVID patients could not be assigned to any certain B cell differentiation stage in the periphery, they were designated as CD21low B cells. Although, CD21low B cells are polyclonal and unmutated IgM+IgD+ B cells like naive B cells in the peripheral blood, they reveal several distinct phenotypic and functional features. In order to uncover the the global programme of gene expression underlying these differences and changes in CD21low B cells we have performed microarray hybridization experiments and identified differentially expressed genes which define a distinct gene expression profile in CD21low B cells compared to naive B cells. Leucocytes were separated by Ficoll gradient from peripheral blood of healthy donors (HD) and CVID patients. CD19+CD27-CD38+CD21+ naive B cells of HD as well as naive and CD19hiCD27-CD38lowCD21low (CD21low) B cells of CVID patients were sorted using a MoFlow cell sorter. RNA was extracted from sorted ex vivo B cell subpopulations and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. Gene expression profiles were compared between CD21low B cells and naive B cells of CVID patients as well as HD naive B cells.

Project description:A substantial proportion of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) patients has duodenal inflammation of largely unknown etiology. However, because of its histologic similarities with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity has been proposed as a potential mechanism. We aimed to elucidate the role of the duodenal microenvironment in the pathogenesis of duodenal inflammation in CVID by investigating the transcriptional, proteomic, and microbial signatures of duodenal biopsy samples in CVID.

Project description:Autoantibody-mediated cytopenias (AICs) regularly occur in profoundly IgG-deficient common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) patients. The isotypes, antigenic targets, and origin(s) of disease-causing autoantibodies in this patient population are unclear. Herein, we report that erythrocytes and platelets from CVID patients with AICs (CVID+AIC) are coated with autoreactive IgM. Glycan array-based analyses of CVID+AIC plasma IgM revealed narrow reactivities to erythrocytic I/i antigens and platelet expressed I/i antigen-related glycans but starkly lower binding to hundreds of other pathogen and tumor-associated carbohydrates. Polyclonal B-cell receptors with corresponding I/i antigen reactivities were highly enriched among CVID+AIC circulating marginal zone (MZ) B cells. Within secondary lymphoid tissues, MZ B cells secreted copious IgM when activated by IL-10 secreting FOXP3-CD25hiTfh cells. In lymph nodes from immunocompetent controls, MZ B cells localized outside of GCs near rare FOXP3-CD25+ cells and plentiful FOXP3+ regulatory T cells. In CVID+AIC lymph nodes, counterpart cells localized to similar anatomic positions but CD25hiTfh cells greatly outnumbered regulatory T cells. In total, our findings indicate glycan-reactive IgM autoantibodies produced outside of GC borders may contribute to the autoimmune pathogenesis of CVID.

Project description:Based on the findings of increased IEL in duodenal biopsies in CVID, an overlap with celiac disease has been suggested. In the present study, increased IEL, in particular in the pars descendens of the duodenum, was one of the most frequent histopathological finding. We therefore examined the gene expression profile in pars descendens of duodenum in CVID patients with increased IEL (n=13, IEL mean 34 [range 22-56] IEL/100 EC), CVID with normal levels of IEL (n=7), celiac disease (n=10, Marsh grade 3a or above) and healthy controls (n=17) by gene expression microarray GI histopathological findings in 53 CVID patients that underwent upper and lower endoscopic examination were addressed. For the microarray analysis 20 CVID (7 CVID_normal and 13 CVID with incresed IEL), 10 patients with celiac diseases and 17 healthy controls were included.

Project description:In our study we aimed to analyze the gene expression profile of Treg cells in CVID and SIgAD patients, compared to age-matched healthy controls. Selective IgA deficiency (SIgAD) is the most common and common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most symptomatic form of predominant antibody deficiency. Despite differences in the clinical picture, a similar genetic background is suggested. A common feature of both disorders is the occurrence of autoimmune conditions. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are the major immune cell type that maintains autoimmune tolerance. As the different types of abnormalities of Treg cells were associated with autoimmune disorders in primary immunodeficiency (PID) patients, in our study we aimed to analyze the gene expression profile of Treg cells in CVID and SIgAD patients, compared to age-matched healthy controls. The transcriptome-wide gene profiling was performed using microarray technology. As a results, we analyzed and visualized global expression patterns of genes and pathways of isolated population of Treg cells. We showed the differences at gene-level between patients with and without autoimmunizations. Our finding suggest that gene signature of Treg cells isolated from SIgAD and CVID patients differ from age-matched healthy controls and form each other, while the occurrence of autoimmunity in both PID is associated with IFN signaling pathway. In sum, our findings improve our understanding of Treg dysfunctions in patients with common PIDs and associated autoimmunity.

Project description:Background: Noninfectious complications are the greatest cause of morbidity and mortality in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), but their pathogenesis remains poorly defined. Objective: Using high-throughput approaches, we aimed to identify, correlate, and determine the significance of immunologic features of CVID with noninfectious complications (CVIDc). Methods: We simultaneously applied proteomics, RNA sequencing, and mass cytometry to a large cohort with primary antibody deficiency. Results: CVIDc is differentiated from uncomplicated CVID, other forms of primary antibody deficiency, and healthy controls by a distinct plasma proteomic profile. In addition to confirming previously reported elevations of 4-1BB, IL-6, IL-18, and IFN-γ, we found elevations of colony-stimulating factor 1, IL-12p40, IL-18R, oncostatin M, TNF, and vascular endothelial growth factor A to differentiate CVIDc. This cytokine dysregulation correlated with deficiency of LPS-specific antibodies and increased soluble CD14, suggesting microbial translocation. Indicating potential significance of reduced LPS-specific antibodies and resultant microbial-induced inflammation, CVIDc had altered LPS-induced gene expression matching plasma proteomics and corresponding with increased CD14+CD16- monocytes, memory T cells, and tissue inflammation ameliorated by T-cell-targeted therapy. Unsupervised machine learning accurately differentiated subjects with CVIDc and supported cytokine dysregulation, antibody deficit, and T-cell activation as defining and convergent features. Conclusions: Our data expand understanding of CVIDc proteomics, establish its link with deficiency of IgA and LPS-specific antibodies, and implicate altered LPS-induced gene expression and elevated monocytes and T cells in this cytokine dysregulation. This work indicates that CVIDc results when insufficient antibody neutralization of pathogen-associated molecular patterns, like LPS, occurs in those with a heightened response to these inflammatory mediators, suggesting a 2-hit model of pathogenesis requiring further exploration.
