Atlas of human gut-associated lymphoid tissue reveals immunomodulatory interactions of B cells

ABSTRACT: Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) is organized lymphoid tissue that responds chronically to antigens, including whole bacteria, sampled from the gut lumen. The ensuing immunoglobulin A (IgA) plasma cell response disseminates to regulate bacterial populations and to mediate intestinal immune homeostasis. GALT has roles in the development of the innate-like marginal zone B cell population and is also associated with a B cell–mediated contribution to ulcerative colitis (UC) severity and response to therapy. Applying integrated multiomics methodologies, we identified key spatially resolved interactions of B cell subsets including broad regulatory features of double negative 2 (DN2) B cells with potential to maintain homeostasis within microbe-rich mucosa. By contrast, GALT in UC is distorted in composition and spatial distribution of B cell subsets that have altered immunomodulatory potential compared to healthy GALT. Thus, we identify interactions of strategically located B cells as mediators of immunological equilibrium in human gut.

Single-cell RNAseq of murine Peyer's patches after one dose of anti-α4β7 antibody or PBS

Project description:Targeting the α4β7-MAdCAM-1 axis with vedolizumab (VDZ) is a first-line treatment in ulcerative colitis (UC). However, mechanism(s) of action (MOA) of VDZ remain relatively undefined. Here, we examined five distinct cohorts of patients with UC (n=83, n=60, n=21, n=31, n=401), to determine the effect of VDZ on the mucosal and peripheral immune system. We found a significant decrease in colonic and ileal naïve B and T cells and circulating gut- homing plasmablasts (β7+) in VDZ-treated patients, pointing to gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) targeting by VDZ. Murine Peyer’s patches (PP) demonstrated a significant loss cellularity associated with reduction in follicular B cells, including a unique population of epithelium-associated B cells, following anti-α4β7 antibody (mAb) administration. Photoconvertible (KikGR) mice demonstrated impaired cellular entry into PPs in anti-α4β7 mAb treated mice. In VDZ-treated, but not anti-tumor necrosis factor-treated UC patients, lymphoid aggregate size was significantly reduced in treatment responders compared to non- responders, with an independent validation cohort further confirming these data. Response to VDZ was associated with a significant decrease of naïve B cells and a reduction in B cell follicle organization in the GALT. Responders had a significant reduction of β7+IgG+ plasmablasts in circulation, as well as IgG+ plasma cells and FcgR-dependent signaling in the intestine. GALT targeting represents a previously unappreciated MOA of α4β7-targeted therapies, with major implications for this therapeutic paradigm in UC, and for the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Single-cell spatial transcriptomics of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded biopsies reveals colitis-associated cell networks [Xenium]

Project description:Imaging-based single-cell spatial transcriptomics (iSCST) on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue enables comprehensive analysis of archived specimens while preserving spatial context, critical to an understanding of ulcerative colitis (UC) pathology. Here, we developed, benchmarked, and applied a robust framework for applying iSCST to clinical FFPE mucosal biopsies from patients with UC, immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced (ICI) colitis and healthy controls. iSCST using custom Xenium gene panels enabled precise detection of diverse cell subsets and disease-specific genes. We mapped transcriptionally distinct fibroblast subsets within mucosal niches, including inflammation-associated fibroblasts (IAFs), and identified colitis-specific neighborhoods formed by IAFs, monocytes, and neutrophils. Transcriptional signatures uncovered through iSCST were associated with vedolizumab (VDZ) response, with non-responders exhibiting either an IAF-monocyte signature or adaptive gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) signature, while responders showed enrichment of epithelial gene expression. These signatures were validated in both internal and publicly-available external datasets. This iSCST framework provides a powerful approach for analyzing FFPE tissues, offering insights into colitis-associated cellular networks and identifying biomarkers to enhance patient risk stratification in routine clinical workflows.

Expression data from HAART interruption in HIV patients

Project description:We evaluated longitudinal changes in viral replication and emergence of viral variants in the context of T cell homeostasis and gene expression in GALT of three HIV-positive patients who initiated HAART during primary HIV infection but opted to interrupt therapy thereafter. Longitudinal viral sequence analysis revealed that a stable proviral reservoir was established in GALT during primary HIV infection that persisted through early HAART and post-therapy interruption. Proviral variants in GALT and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) displayed low levels of genomic diversity at all times. A rapid increase in viral loads with a modest decline of CD4 T cells in peripheral blood was observed, while gut mucosal CD4 T cell loss was severe following HAART interruption. This was accompanied by increased mucosal gene expression regulating interferon (IFN)-mediated antiviral responses and immune activation, a profile similar to those found in HAART-naive HIV-infected patients. Gut mucosal responses to HAART interruption were evaluated with Affymetrix arrays

Microarray analysis of CX3CR1high CD11b+ CD11c+ cells in murine intestinal lamina propria

Project description:Several innate immune cell subsets have recently been identified to maintain gut homeostasis in both human and mice. Among these subsets, CX3CR1high CD11b+ CD11c+ cells contribute to intestinal tolerance through various mechanisms in mice. However, whether tolerogenic innate myeloid cells are present in the human intestine is not clearly defined. In this manuscript, we identified an intestinal myeloid cell subset possessing tolerogenic ability. HLA-DRhigh CD14+ CD163high cells in the human colon were divided into two subsets based on CD160 expression: CD163high CD160high and CD163high CD160low cells. Both cell subsets exhibited high levels of IL-10 production and high phagocytic activities. CD163high CD160high cells suppressed effector CD4+ T cell proliferation by a Foxp3+ Treg cell induction-independent mechanism. We further observed that the number and suppressive activity of these cells were profoundly decreased in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). In addition, CD163high CD160high cells in the UC patients showed inflammatory phenotype, such as increased expression of IL6, CD80, and CD86, accompanied with decreased IL10RB expression. Our results highlight that a tolerogenic CD163high CD160high cell subset might be implicated in the prevention of UC development. Gene expression analysis of murine CX3CR1high cells (n=10) and murine blood Ly6c+ CD11b+ monocytes (n=6) were performed using Whole Mouse Genome Microarray Kit, 4x44K V2 (G4846A) as dye-swapped experiments.

Biopsy-derived colonoid monolayers reveal a range of persistent mucosal defects in patients with ulcerative colitis

Project description:Rationale: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by colonic mucosal inflammation and barrier dysfunction. We hypothesize that UC causes persistent defects in mucosal homeostasis, evident even in the absence of inflammation, contributing to disease chronicity. Objective: To test this, we grew patient biopsy-derived sigmoid colonoids into air-liquid interface (ALI) monolayers, characterizing them through microscopy, proteomics, bulk RNAseq, and their susceptibility to UC patient-isolated Escherichia coli pathobiont p19A. Findings: Non-IBD ALI monolayers formed uniform crypt-like structures, mature goblet cells and a thick mucus layer containing all epithelial-derived proteins previously identified in human colonic mucus. In contrast, ALI monolayers from UC patients displayed a range of impairments, from distorted crypt-like structures and a thinner and more permeable mucus layer to severe defects in cellular differentiation and crypt development. Transcriptome analysis identified activated pathways associated with extracellular matrix formation and cell signaling, including numerous cancer-associated genes in UC ALI monolayers, which also proved significantly more susceptible to E. coli p19A. Conclusions: The culturing of patient biopsies into ALI colonoid monolayers provides a powerful model to assess human mucosal development, healing, homeostasis and mucus barrier function, revealing that UC-derived colonoids display a range of developmental and functional defects that persist in the absence of inflammation.
