Synovial MS4A4A correlates with inflammation and counteracts response to corticosteroids in arthritis

ABSTRACT: MS4A4A belongs to the MS4A tetraspan protein superfamily and is selectively expressed by the monocyte-macrophage lineage. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of MS4A4A+ macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis and response to treatment. RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry of synovial samples from either early treatment-naïve or active chronic RA patients showed that MS4A4A expression positively correlated with synovial inflammation. Synovial macrophages from patients treated with corticosteroids (CS: Dexamethasone) exhibited an enhanced expression of MS4A4A and Fc γ receptor (FcγR) 3. Accordingly, CS enhanced in vitro the expression of MS4A4A and FcγR3 in human and murine macrophages. In an experimental model of arthritis, Ms4a4a deletion had no effect on the diseases course, but was associated with enhanced therapeutic response selectively to CS. These results suggest that macrophage expression of MS4A4A represents a novel biomarker of joint inflammation in RA and that its upregulation in concert with FcgR3 by CS counteracts the therapeutic activity of these drugs. Macrophage MS4A4A may represent a novel biomarker of joint inflammation in RA and a target to amplify the therapeutic activity of corticosteroids.

A pathogenic Th17/CD38+ macrophage feedback loop drives inflammatory arthritis through TNFa

Project description:The pathobiology of rheumatoid inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), involves the interplay between innate and adaptive immune components and resident synoviocytes. Single-cell analyses of patient samples and relevant mouse models have characterized many cellular subsets in RA. However, the impact of interactions between cell types is not fully understood. Here, we temporally profiled murine arthritic synovial isolates at the single-cell level to identify perturbations like those found in human RA. Notably, murine macrophage subtypes like those in RA patients were expanded in arthritis and linked to promoting the function of Th17 cells in the joint. In vitro experiments identified a capacity for murine macrophages to maintain the functionality and expansion of Th17 cells. Reciprocally, murine Th17 cell-derived TNFa induced CD38+ macrophages that enhanced Th17 functionality. Murine synovial CD38+ macrophages were expanded during arthritis and their depletion or blockade via TNFa-neutralization alleviated disease while reducing IL-17A-producing cells. These findings identify a cellular feedback loop that promotes Th17 cell pathogenicity through TNFa to drive inflammatory arthritis.

Expression data from Rheumatoid Arthritis synovial tissue samples

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex and clinically heterogeneous autoimmune disease. Microarray analysis of 83 synovial samples provides insight into the expression-level differences between patients at the site of disease activity. Synovial samples from Rheumatoid Arthritis patients were obtained during joint resection and profiled using microarrays.

The transcriptome analysis of regulatory networks in RA-FLSs

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic inflammatory joint disease characterized by persistent synovial hyperplasia and progressive destruction of joint cartilage and bone.Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), a prominent component of hyperplastic synovial pannus tissue, are the primary effector cells in RA synovial hyperplasia and invasion. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we apply transcriptome to assay the regulatory networks which contribute to the proliferation, migration and invasion of RA-FLSs .

CCL7 promotes macrophage polarization and synovitis to exacerbate rheumatoid arthritis II

Project description:Macrophage polarization and synovitis play significant roles in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Chemokines are involved almost throughout the entire pathology of synovitis. However, the interaction between chemokines and macrophage polarization in RA has been seldom reported. This study found that chemokine C-C motif ligand 7 (CCL7) secreted by polarized M1 macrophages enhances M1 polarization, creating a positive feedback loop and revealing the role of CCL7 in the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. In this research, RNA sequencing indicated that M1 polarized macrophages secrete a large amount of CCL7, which further enhances M1 polarization. Through immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, it was found that the expression of CCL7 in the synovial tissue and serum of RA patients and mice was upregulated. Intra-articular injection of CCL7 recombinant protein exacerbated M1 polarization of macrophages, inflammation, fibrosis in the synovial tissue, and worsened arthritis pain in mice, which was improved after the injection of CCL7 neutralizing antibody. In addition, CCL7 promoted M1 polarization of macrophages and reversed the M2 polarization induced by IL-4, and it also promoted macrophage proliferation and migration. Although it had an inhibitory effect on chondrocyte activity, it did not show a significant impact on chondrocyte metabolism. Mechanistically, CCL7 targets CCR1 to promote M1 polarization of macrophages, a process partly mediated through the activation of the JAK2/STAT1 pathway. When stimulated by CCL7, macrophages secreted a vast amount of pro-inflammatory factors, exacerbating synovitis and cartilage damage, leading to the aggravation of RA disease. Our research established a positive feedback loop between M1 polarization of macrophages and CCL7, indicating that blocking CCL7 could improve the progression of RA, suggesting CCL7 as a potential target for RA treatment.

Macrophage polarization controlled by fibroblast crosstalk and targeted by medications in rheumatoid arthritis

Project description:In this study, we performed RNAseq on human macropahges following a tumor necrosis factor response with and without human fibroblasts, the representative stromal cell type in the synovial lining of joints that become activated during inflammatory arthritis. Our RNAseq analysis reveals a crosstalk pathway between macrophages and fibroblasts that emerges as a result of co-culture that we call the MTF polarization phenotype. We test multiple drugs with RA indications and candidate therapies and report that the genes that shaped by the MTF phenotype are opposed in their expression by known therapies. Our RA joint inflammation model data provides insights into the cellular crosstalk mechanisms between macrophages and fibroblasts as well additional knowledge into RA drug mechanisms of action.

MicroRNA expression profile in macrophages from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis patients

Project description:In osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), many pathological alterations result from aberrant macrophage hyperactivation in the inflamed synovial membrane, and inhibition of macrophage effector functions is a therapeutic strategy in both diseases. Little is known, about the specific genetic circuits that are differentially deregulated in RA and OA macrophages. microRNA (miR) are short single stranded non-coding RNAs involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Altered expression of miRs has been described under various pathological conditions, including rheumatic and other autoimmune diseases. Here we compared the miR expression profile in macrophages isolated from OA and RA patients miR expression in OA and RA macrophages was analyzed using Exiqon miRCURY microarrays. Three biological replicates (patients) were analyzed. Two samples (RA vs OA) were hybridized per microarray.

Single RNA-Seq of synovial tissue macrophages from Rheumatoid Arthritis patients with active disease and in disease remission.

Project description:Treatment refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a major clinical challenge. Drug-free remission is uncommon but provides proof-of-concept that articular immune-homeostasis can be reinstated. In this project, we used single-cell RNA- to study the role of synovial tissue macrophages in maintaining disease remission. We have sequenced synovial tissue macrophages from individuals with healthy synovium (as evaluated by MRI), patients with undifferentiated arthritis (UPA), RA patients naïve to treatment, RA patients resistant to treatment and RA patients in disease remission
