Single-cell transcriptomic atlas of adult dermatomyositis, cutaneous lupus erythematosus and healthy skin

ABSTRACT: Adult-onset dermatomyositis (DM) is a systemic autoimmune disease associated with an elevated risk of malignancy, yet the cellular and molecular features distinguishing cancer-associated DM from non-cancer DM remain poorly defined. Here, we conduct a comprehensive single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of adult-onset DM skin, including lesional and non-lesional samples, alongside cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and healthy control skin, to characterize immune and stromal cell states and disease-specific transcriptional programs. We identify distinct immune-stromal cell populations that differentiate cancer-associated DM from non-cancer-associated DM and CLE, including a vascular injury phenotype with hypoxia and metabolic reprogramming enriched in cancer-associated DM. These findings nominate cell-state-defining molecular features as potential biomarkers for cancer screening and therapeutic targeting in adult dermatomyositis.

Dermatomyositis is characterized by JAK1-mediated monocyte-driven vasculopathy and inflammation

Project description:Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare yet devastating autoimmune disease characterized by inflammatory and vasculopathic changes in skin and muscle. DM and systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) skin lesions have overlapping clinical and histopathological features, yet disparate responses to available therapeutics. DM skin disease is often relapsing and recalcitrant. To investigate DM immunopathogenesis, non-lesional skin, lesional skin, and circulating immune cells from DM patients were analyzed using single-cell RNA-sequencing. Samples were analyzed in parallel with lesional and non-lesional lupus skin, healthy control skin, and peripheral blood. We demonstrate a pervasive type I interferon (IFN) signature in DM stroma that persists in culture and is distinguished from lupus by upregulation of VEGF and IL-18 signaling in DM keratinocytes. Furthermore, endothelial cells (ECs) in lesional DM exhibit decreased proliferation that was not observed in lupus. Using cell communication networks, we identified a population of DM-specific monocytes interacting with non-proliferating DM ECs. Co-culture of monocytes from DM patients with ECs resulted in increased EC apoptosis inhibited by JAK1 blockade. JAK1 inhibition also resulted in reversal of DM-stromal and inflammatory signatures. Together, our data provide a comprehensive cross-disease characterization of lesional and non-lesional skin of DM compared to lupus and implicate monocyte-mediated EC dysfunction in DM vasculopathy and support JAK inhibition for refractory skin disease.

Dermatomyositis skin transcriptomic signature

Project description:Dermatomyositis is a cutaneous and muscular auto-immune condition associated with specific autoantibodies. MDA5 antibody-associated DM has higher mortality. We demonstrate here for the first time using skin microarray analysis that MDA5+ DM is associated with a greater type I interferon skin signature than MDA5- DM, mainly involving the IFN- κ member produced by skin keratinocytes

Circulating plasma microRNA profiling in patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis before and after treatment

Project description:This study aimed to investigate the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the plasma from polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) patients, which fluctuated by treatment. More differentially expressed miRNAs were found in plasma of DM patients compared to PM patients before and after treatment, and their profiles were different.

Proteomics analysis of plasma-derived exosomes unveils the aberrant complement and coagulation cascades in dermatomyositis/polymyositis

Project description:Dermatomyositis and polymyositis (DM/PM) are systemic autoimmune diseases characterized by proximal muscle weakness. The underlying pathogenetic mechanism of this disease remains elusive. Here, using proteomics analysis, a great overlap of differentially expressed plasma exosomal proteins involved in the complement and coagulation cascades pathway, including FGA, FGB, FGG, C1QB, C1QC and VWF, were identified in DM/PM patients versus HCs. Correlation analysis revealed that the expression levels of complement-associated proteins (C1QB and C1QC) correlated positively with CRP, ESR and platelet count. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that complement and coagulation cascade-associated proteins could be strong predictors for DM/PM. Additionally, we also identified several other proteins that were differentially expressed in DM and PM, respectively. And the selected candidate proteins were further validated by PRM. Together, these exosome-derived proteins might participate in microvascular damage in DM/PM through the activation of the complement and coagulation cascades pathway and function as biomarkers for the clinical diagnosis of DM/PM.

Fiorentino 2006-7 dermatomyositis, lupus, control skin

Project description:Background: Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune disease that mainly affects the skin, muscle, and lung. The pathogenesis of skin inflammation in DM is not well understood. Methodology and Findings: We analyzed genome-wide expression data in DM skin and compared them to those from healthy controls. We observed a robust upregulation of interferon (IFN)-inducible genes in DM skin, as well as several other gene modules pertaining to inflammation, complement activation, and epidermal activation and differentiation. The interferon (IFN)-inducible genes within the DM signature were present not only in DM and lupus, but also cutaneous herpes simplex-2 infection and to a lesser degree, psoriasis. This IFN signature was absent or weakly present in atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, acne vulgaris, systemic sclerosis, and localized scleroderma/morphea. We observed that the IFN signature in DM skin appears to be more closely related to type I than type II IFN based on in vitro IFN stimulation expression signatures. However, quantitation of IFN mRNAs in DM skin shows that the majority of known type I IFNs, as well as IFN gamma, are overexpressed in DM skin. In addition, both IFN-beta and IFN-gamma (but not other type I IFN) transcript levels were highly correlated with the degree of the in vivo IFN transcriptional response in DM skin.

Analysis of peripheral blood transcript and protein expression across adult systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and adult dermatomyositis (DM) patients, each compared to respective healthy matched control subjects.

Project description:The study interrogates SLE and DM gene expression measurements across three platforms: Affymetrix transcriptomics, SomaLogic proteomics, and Rules Based Medicine (RBM) proteomics. Patients are matched 1:1 with healthy donor subjects by age, ethnicity, and sex. DM patients are matched 1:3 with SLE patients by the same criteria. All patients have been treated for at least one year, and represent patients receiving standard treatment care for the respective diseases. The data posted contain SLE patients in support of the paper Distinct Interferon and Intracellular Signaling Signatures in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Dermatomyositis by Integrative Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analysis. Dermatomyositis (DM) patient consent requires controlled access, as a result the equivalent DM data are deposited in dbGaP Study Accession phs003270.v1.p1.

Defective plasticity in dermatomyositis patients muscle stem cells is associated with sustained intrinsic inﬂammatory signaling and disruption of the histone H3.3 chromatin loading pathway [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Skeletal muscle regeneration is driven by muscle stem cells (MuSC). They proliferate then differentiate to restore muscle function. This process, known as myogenesis, is driven both by intrinsic properties of MuSCs and by extrinsic inflammatory signals. While proinflammatory signals are necessary for healthy muscle regeneration, chronic inflammation participates in different pathologies affecting the skeletal muscle, including cancer-associated cachexia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or auto-immune disorders. Dermatomyositis (DM) is characterized by infiltration of immune cells in the peri-fascicular area which is associated with chronic inflammation. Although anti-inflammatory treatments are commonly used to combat the disease, most patients never fully regain their muscle strength. MuSCs derived from dermatomyositis patients exhibit impaired myogenesis in vitro, indicating that these cells may have acquired intrinsic defects that contribute to the disease. We compared the transcriptomes of MuSCs from healthy individuals and DM patients, finding that the latter are unable to effectively execute the myogenic transcriptomic program during ex vivo differentiation. Additionally, they exhibit an intrinsically activated canonical TNF signaling. MuSC from DM patients also exhibit reduced expression of H3.3 and its chaperone genes, coupled with a decrease in H3.3 deposition across the entire genome. The global loss of H3.3 combined with elevated intrinsic TNF signaling is associated with a failure of DM-derived MuSCs to suppress inflammatory signals and achieve proper myogenesis, suggesting a mechanistic link between epigenetic dysregulation and defective muscle regeneration.
