Targeting JAK1/3-STAT1 signaling attenuates cytotoxic T lymphocytes activation for the treatment in Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis

ABSTRACT: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). We integrate single-cell and spatial transcriptomic analyses on blood, blisters, and lesional skin from SJS/TEN patients, revealing IFN-γ and JAK/STAT signaling as the key pathways responsible for driving epidermal necrolysis. We identify JAK1/3–STAT1 signaling as a primary driver of the activation of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), natural killer (NK)/NKT cells, macrophages and conventional dendritic cells in skin lesions. The high proportion of cytotoxic protein (granulysin and granzyme B)–expressing CD8+ CTLs in SJS/TEN blisters is associated with STAT1 phosphorylation. Immunostaining and ex vivo blocking assays further confirm the potential for the JAK1/3 inhibitor to attenuate CD8+ CTL activation in SJS/TEN. We conduct a proof-of-concept clinical trial in 20 patients with SJS/TEN (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06474078), and find that the JAK1/3 inhibitor tofacitinib improves clinical outcomes by reducing skin-healing time with no observed mortality. Our study provides an effective and alternative mechanism-based therapeutic approach for SJS/TEN.

PBMS cells from SJS/TEN

Project description:Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening adverse drug reactions characterized by massive epidermal necrosis, in which the specific danger signals involved remain unclear. Here we show that blister cells from skin lesions of SJS-TEN primarily consist of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer (NK) cells, and both blister fluids and cells were cytotoxic. Gene expression profiling identified granulysin as the most highly expressed cytotoxic molecule, confirmed by quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. Granulysin concentrations in the blister fluids were two to four orders of magnitude higher than perforin, granzyme B or soluble Fas ligand concentrations, and depleting granulysin reduced the cytotoxicity. Granulysin in the blister fluids was a 15-kDa secretory form, and injection of it into mouse skin resulted in features mimicking SJS-TEN. Our findings demonstrate that secretory granulysin is a key molecule responsible for the disseminated keratinocyte death in SJS-TEN and highlight a mechanism for CTL- or NK cell—mediated cytotoxicity that does not require direct cellular contact.

Experiment Overall Design: Blood samples were obtained from 5 different patients with SJS/TEN. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from the whole blood samples by Ficoll-Isopaque (Pharmacia Fine Chemicals) density gradient centrifugation. Total RNA from PBMC was isolated using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen). The 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA peak ratios were determined using microfluidics technology (Agilent). RNA was subjected to reverse transcription using the Superscript II kit (Invitrogen), and the cleaned cRNA was then hybridized to an Affymetrix human genome U133 plus 2.0 array.

ICI-SJS/TEN mediated by macrophage-derived CXCL10 and abated by TNF blockade

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) represent new anticancer agents and have been used worldwide. However, ICI can potentially induce life-threatening severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR), such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), hindering continuous ICI therapy. We examined 6 cohorts within 25 ICI-induced SJS/TEN patients and conducted single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis, which revealed overexpression of macrophage-derived CXCL10 that recruited CXCR3+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in blister cells from ICI-SJS/TEN skin lesions. ScRNA expression profiles and ex vivo blocking studies further identified TNF signaling as the key pathway responsible for macrophage-derived CXCL10 and CTL activation. Based on the trajectory analysis, ICI-activated T cells from whole blood are proposed to serve as the initial cells involved in inflammation, that lead to monocytes differentiating into macrophages and increasing their susceptibility to migrate to the lesion sites. Compared with systemic corticosteroids treatment, ICI-induced SJS/TEN patients treated with biologic TNF blockade showed a significantly rapid recovery and no recurrence of SCAR with continuous ICI therapy. Our findings identified that macrophage-eliciting CTL contribute the pathogenesis of ICI-induced epidermal necrolysis and provide the therapeutic targets for the management and prevention of SCAR induced by ICI therapy.

Gene expression profile at the single-cell level of skin and PBMC samples collected from patients with severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCADR).

Project description:Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCADR) encompass a wide spectrum of potentially dreadful disease entities resulting from a type IV delayed hypersensitivity reaction. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides an opportunity to decipher potential cell-cell interactions and cell-type specific transcriptomic changes, amenable to therapeutic intervention, particularly in rare diseases with heterogenous clinical presentations and lacking experimental animal models, such as SCADR. We performed scRNA-seq on the skin of four patients diagnosed with SCADR syndromes including one toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), one Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), one acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and one extensive drug-related maculopapular rash (MPR), and three healthy controls.

JAK-STAT1 as therapeutic target for EGFR deficiency-associated inflammation and scarring alopecia (scRNA-seq)

Project description:The hair follicle stem cell niche is an immune-privileged microenvironment, characterized by reduced antigen presentation, thus shielding against permanent immune-mediated tissue damage. In this study, we demonstrated the protective role of hair follicle-specific epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) against scarring hair follicle destruction. Mechanistically, disruption of EGFR signalling generated a cell-intrinsic hypersensitivity within the JAK-STAT1 pathway, which, synergistically with interferon gamma expressing CD8 T-cell and NK-cell-mediated inflammation, compromised the stem cell niche. Hair follicle-specific genetic depletion of either JAK1/2 or STAT1 or therapeutic inhibition of JAK1/2 ameliorated the inflammation, restored skin barrier function and activated the residual stem cells to resume hair growth in mouse models of epidermal and hair follicle-specific EGFR deletion. Skin biopsies from EGFR inhibitor-treated and cicatricial alopecia patients indicated active STAT1 signalling and interferon target expression. Notably, a case study of folliculitis decalvans, characterized by progressive hair loss, scaling and perifollicular erythema, demonstrated successful treatment with JAK1/2 inhibition. Our findings offer molecular insights and present a mechanism-based therapeutic strategy for addressing chronic folliculitis associated with EGFR-inhibitor anti-cancer therapy and cicatricial alopecia.

Single cell spatial proteomics identifies JAK/STAT pathway as actionable therapeutic target in toxic epidermal necrolysis

Project description:Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a fatal cutaneous adverse drug reaction and an emerging public health issue 1-3. Triggered by common medications, patients suffer from fulminant epidermal detachment and long-term sequalae. Although molecular mechanisms driving keratinocyte cytotoxicity have been reported, no effective therapy exists4-6. In recent years, powerful omics technologies have expanded into spatial context and we reasoned that single cell spatial proteomics could uncover novel therapeutic targets in TEN. Applying Deep Visual Proteomics7,8 to formalin fixed paraffin embedded archived skin-tissue biopsies of three types of cutaneous drug reactions with varying severity quantified over 5,000 proteins in keratinocytes and skin-infiltrating immune cells. Most strikingly, this revealed a robust enrichment of Type-I- and -II interferon signature in the immune cell and keratinocyte compartment of TEN patients, along with a drastic activation of pSTAT1. Targeted inhibition with pan-JAK inhibitor (JAKi) Tofacitinib reduced keratinocyte-directed cytotoxicity in a novel live-cell imaging assay, using patient-derived keratinocytes and PBMCs. Furthermore, oral administration of pan-JAKi Tofacitinib or Baricitinib ameliorated clinical and histological disease severity in two distinct mouse models of TEN. This study uncovers the JAK-STAT and interferon signaling pathways as key pathogenic drivers of TEN and demonstrates the potential of targeted JAK inhibition as a curative therapy.

Single cell transcriptomics of human epidermis shows decreased expression of several structural genes associated with skin barrier development in aged skin

Project description:Epidermal keratinocytes are continuously dividing cells which, upon differentiation establish the outer skin barrier, the stratum corneum. In older age the epidermis becomes thinner, papillary protrusions flatten and the capacity for skin barrier repair decreases. Here we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of epidermal keratinocytes obtained by suction blisters from the volar forearm of younger (20-30) and older (65-70) healthy female individuals.
