Suppression of molecular inflammatory pathways by Toll-like Receptor 7, 8, and 9 antagonists in a model of IL-23-induced skin inflammation

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis is a complex inflammatory disease resulting from the activation of T helper (Th) 1 and Th17 cells. Recent evidence suggests that abnormal activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 7, 8 and 9 contributes to the initiation and maintenance of psoriasis. We have evaluated the effects of TLR antagonists on the gene expression profile in an IL-23-induced skin inflammation model in mice. Psoriasis-like skin lesions were induced in C57BL/6 mice by intradermal injection of IL-23 in the dorsum. Two TLR antagonists were compared: IMO-3100, an antagonist of TLRs 7 and 9, and IMO-8400, an antagonist of TLRs 7, 8 and 9, both of which previously have been shown to reduce epidermal hyperplasia in this model. Skin gene expression profiles of IL-23-induced inflammation were compared with or without TLR antagonist treatment. IL-23 injection resulted in alteration of 5100 gene probes (fold change ≥ 2, FDR < 0.05) including IL-17 pathways that are up-regulated in psoriasis vulgaris. Targeting TLRs 7, 8 and 9 with IMO-8400 resulted in modulation of more than 2300 mRNAs while targeting TLRs 7 and 9 with IMO-3100 resulted in modulation of more than 1900 mRNAs. Both agents strongly decreased IL-17A expression (>12-fold reduction), normalized IL-17 induced genes such as beta-defensin and CXCL1, and normalized aberrant expression of keratin 16 (indicating epidermal hyperplasia). These results suggest that IL-23-driven inflammation in mouse skin may be dependent on signaling mediated by TLRs 7, 8, and 9 and that these receptors represent novel therapeutic targets in psoriasis vulgaris and other diseases with similar pathophysiology.

IL-17 induces an expanded range of downstream genes in reconstituted human epidermis model

Project description:Background: IL-17 is the defining cytokine of the Th17, Tc17, and γδ T cell populations that plays a critical role in mediating inflammation and autoimmunity. Psoriasis vulgaris is an inflammatory skin disease mediated by Th1 and Th17 cytokines with relevant contributions of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-17. Despite the pivotal role IL-17 plays in psoriasis, and in contrast to the other key mediators involved in the psoriasis cytokine cascade that are capable of inducing broad effects on keratinocytes, IL-17 was demonstrated to regulate the expression of a limited number of genes in monolayer keratinocytes cultured in vitro. Methodology/Principal Findings: Given the clinical efficacy of anti-IL-17 agents is associated with an impressive reduction in a large set of inflammatory genes, we sought a full-thickness skin model that more closely resemble in vivo epidermal architecture. Using a reconstructed human epidermis (RHE), IL-17 was able to upregulate 419 gene probes and downregulate 216 gene probes. As possible explanation for the increased gene induction in the RHE model is that CEBPβ, the transcription factor regulating IL-17-responsive genes, is expressed in differentiated KCs. Conclusions/Significance: The genes identified in IL-17-treated RHE are likely relevant to the IL-17 effects in psoriasis, since ixekizumab (anti-IL-17A agent) strongly suppressed the “RHE” genes in psoriasis patients treated in vivo with this IL-17 antagonist. RHE samples were treated with IFNg, IL-22 and IL-17 and compared with control

Single-cell genomics segregate different transcriptomic impacts of anti-IL-17A blockade on type 17 T-cells and regulatory immune cells in psoriasis skin

Project description:Durable psoriasis improvement has been reported in a subset of psoriasis patients after treatment withdrawal of biologics blocking IL-23/Type 17 T-cell (T17) autoimmune axis. However, it is not well understood if systemic blockade of the IL-23/T17 axis promotes immune tolerance in psoriasis skin. The purpose of the study was to find translational evidence that systemic IL-17A blockade promotes regulatory transcriptome modification in human psoriasis skin immune cell subsets. We analyzed human psoriasis lesional skin 6 mm punch biopsy tissues before and after systemic IL-17A blockade using the muti-genomics approach integrating immune cell-enriched scRNA-seq (n = 18), microarray (n = 61), and immunohistochemistry (n = 61) with repository normal control skin immune cell-enriched scRNA-seq (n = 10) and microarray (n = 8) data. For the T17 axis transcriptome, systemic IL-17A blockade depleted 100% of IL17A + T-cells and 95% of IL17F + T-cells in psoriasis skin. The expression of IL23A in DC subsets was also downregulated by IL-17A blockade. The expression of IL-17-driven inflammatory mediators (IL36G, S100A8, DEFB4A, and DEFB4B) in suprabasal keratinocytes was correlated with psoriasis severity and was downregulated by IL-17A blockade. For the regulatory DC transcriptome, the proportion of regulatory semimature DCs expressing regulatory DC markers of BDCA-3 (THBD) and DCIR (CLEC4A) was increased in posttreatment psoriasis lesional skin compared to pretreatment psoriasis lesional skin. In addition, IL-17A blockade induced higher expression of CD1C and CD14, which are markers of CD1c+ CD14+ dendritic cell (DC) subset that suppresses antigen-specific T-cell responses, in posttreatment regulatory semimature DCs compared to pretreatment regulatory semimature DCs. In conclusion, systemic IL-17A inhibition not only blocks the entire IL-23/T17 cell axis but also promotes regulatory gene expression in regulatory DCs in human psoriasis skin.

IL-12 regulates type 3 immunity through interfollicular keratinocytes in psoriasiform inflammation

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder underpinned by dysregulated cytokine signaling. Drugs neutralizing the common p40 subunit of IL-12 and IL-23 represented a therapeutic breakthrough; however, new drugs that block the IL-23p19 subunit and spare IL-12 are more effective, suggesting a regulatory function of IL-12. In order to pinpoint the cell type and underlying mechanism of IL-12 mediated immune-regulation in psoriasis we generated a conditional Il12rb2-knockout (KO)/reporter mouse strain. We detected Il12rb2 expression in T cells and a specific subset of interfollicular (IF) keratinocytes. Analysis of scRNAseq data from psoriasis patients confirmed this expression pattern in the human skin. Mechanistically, deletion of Il12rb2 in the keratinocyte compartment led to exacerbated psoriasiform inflammation. Protective IL-12 signaling blocked the hyperproliferation of keratinocytes, maintained skin barrier integrity, and, importantly, diminished disease-driving IL-23/type 3 immune circuits. Collectively, we provide a potential explanation for the superior efficacy of IL-23p19 inhibitors in psoriasis and describe an unperceived role of IL-12 in maintaining skin epithelial cell homeostasis.

A single intradermal injection of IFN-gamma induces a psoriasis-like state in both non-lesional psoriatic and healthy skin

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic, debilitating, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease. As IFN-gamma is involved in many cellular processes, including activation of T cells and dendritic cells (DCs), antigen processing and presentation, cell adhesion and trafficking, and cytokine and chemokine production, IFN-gamma-producing Th1 cells were proposed to be integral to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Recently, IFN-gamma was shown to enhance IL-23 and IL-1 production by DCs and subsequently induce Th17 cells, important contributors to the inflammatory cascade in psoriasis lesions. To determine if IFN-gamma indeed induces the pathways leading to the development of psoriasis lesions, a single intradermal injection of IFN-gamma was administered to an area of clinically normal, non-lesional skin of psoriasis patients and biopsies were collected 24 hours later. Although there were no visible changes in the skin, IFN-gamma induced molecular and histological features characteristic of psoriasis lesions. IFN-gamma increased a number of differentially expressed genes in the skin, including many chemokines concomitant with an influx of T cells and inflammatory DCs. Furthermore, inflammatory DC products TNF, iNOS, IL-23, and TRAIL were present in IFN-gamma-treated skin. Thus, IFN-gamma, which is significantly elevated in non-lesional skin compared to healthy skin, appears to be a key pathogenic cytokine that can induce the inflammatory cascade in psoriasis. RNA was isolated from whole skin punch biopsies of either healthy or non-lesional psoraisis patients at baseline or 24 hours after placebo or IFN-g injection.

The Gene Expression Analysis of Peripheral Blood Monocytes from Psoriasis Vulgaris Patients with Different Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Syndromes

Project description:Psoriasis is chronic skin disease and an important health concern. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has shown great promise in the treatment of psoriasis. However, the correlation between TCM Syndromes and genomics of psoriasis has not been evaluated. Here, we analyzed gene expression profiling of monocytes from psoriasis vulgaris patients with different TCM syndrome types to reveal the molecular basis of different psoriasis syndromes. Of the 62 cases of psoriasis vulgaris recruited, 16, 23, and 23 cases were of blood-heat syndrome, blood stasis syndrome, and blood-dryness syndrome, respectively; 10 healthy controls were recruited as controls. Affymertix's Gene Chip ®clariom D gene chip was used to detect the gene expression profile of peripheral blood monocytes collected from recruited individuals. Compared with the healthy control group, 1570 genes were up-regulated and 977 genes were down-regulated in the psoriasis vulgaris patients group; 798 genes and 108 genes were up- and down-regulated in the blood-heat syndrome group respectively; 319 and 433 genes were up- and down-regulated in the blood-dryness syndrome group, respectively; and 502 and 179 genes were up-and down-regulated in the blood-stasis syndrome group. Our analyses indicated not only common differential genes and pathways between psoriasis syndrome groups and healthy controls, but also syndrome-specific genes and pathways. The results of this study link the three syndromes at the gene level and will be useful for clarifying the molecular basis of TCM syndromes of psoriasis.

Multiple IL-17 family cytokines signaling through IL-17RA drive inflammatory pathways in psoriasis

Project description:The IL-23/IL-17 immune axis is of central importance in psoriasis. However, the contribution of IL-17 family cytokines other than IL-17A to drive skin inflammation in psoriasis has not been fully established. To further elucidate the role of individual IL-17 family cytokines in psoriasis, we investigated their expression and localization in psoriasis skin at the mRNA and protein level. Moreover, we investigated the gene expression signatures induced by individual IL-17 family cytokines in human skin ex vivo as well as modulation of responses induced by the combination of IL-17 family cytokines in human keratinocytes by brodalumab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting the IL-17RA, versus the IL-17A blocking antibody ixekizumab. We demonstrate that IL-17A, IL-17AF, IL-17F and IL-17C are expressed at increased levels in psoriasis lesional skin and induce inflammatory gene expression signatures in human skin ex vivo that correlate with those observed in psoriasis. Furthermore, we show that brodalumab, in contrast to ixekizumab, fully blocks gene expression responses induced by the combination of IL-17A, IL-17AF, IL-17F and IL-17C in human keratinocytes. These findings suggest that inhibition of several IL-17 family cytokines, e.g. by targeting of the IL-17RA receptor, could be a favored mechanism to obtain a profound suppression of the inflammatory processes in psoriasis and thereby achieve high levels of skin clearance and sustained efficacy in patients with psoriasis.

Effective treatment of psoriasis with etanercept is linked to suppression of IL17 signaling, not immediate response TNF

Project description:The success of TNF inhibitors for treatment of psoriasis and other inflammatory diseases was previously attributed to blockade of innate immunity. In a clinical trial using etanercept TNF blocking agent to treat psoriasis vulgaris, we used affymetrix gene arrays to analyze broad gene profiles in lesional skin at multiple timepoints during drug treatment (baseline, and weeks 1, 2, 4 and 12) compared to non-lesional skin. This analysis created a temporal model of TNF-dependent gene regulation that informs molecular mechanisms of TNF-mediated inflammation. We identified four gene clusters that were differentially down-modulated during etanercept treatment: the cluster down-regulated most rapidly contained mostly dendritic cell activation genes. Culturing human keratinocytes with TNF, IFNg and IL-17 generated a list of keratinocyte genes regulated by each cytokine. The IL-17 pathway genes were strongly down-modulated early, whereas IFNg pathway genes were not down-modulated until final disease resolution at week 12. Finally, we show that TNF blockade rapidly inhibits IL-12/IL-23 p40 subunit expression, and that p40 neutralization inhibits psoriatic dermal émigré-mediated Th17 polarization. We hypothesize that etanercept inhibits myeloid dendritic cell production of IL-23, a Th17 survival cytokine, resulting in rapid downregulation of IL-17 pathway genes. This data links effects of TNF blockade on the innate immune system with the adaptive immune system. Keywords: time-course experiment
