Leukocyte-Specific Protein1 Regulates T Cell Migration in Rheumatoid Arthritis

ABSTRACT: Copy number variations (CNVs) have been implicated in human diseases. However, it remains unclear how they affect immune dysfunction and autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we identified a novel LSP1 deletion variant for RA susceptibility located in 11p15.5. We replicated that the copy number of LSP1 is significantly lower in RA patients, which correlates positively with LSP1 protein expression levels. Differentially expressed genes in Lsp1-deficient primary T cells represent cell motility and immune and cytokine responses. Functional assays demonstrated that LSP1, induced by T cell receptor activation, negatively regulates T cell migration by reducing ERK activation in vitro. In mice with T cell-dependent chronic inflammation, loss of Lsp1 promotes migration of T cells into the target tissues as well as draining lymph nodes, exacerbating disease severity. Moreover, RA patients show diminished expression of LSP1 in peripheral T cells with increased migratory capacity, suggesting that the defect in LSP1 signaling lowers the threshold for T cell activation. Our work is the first to demonstrate how CNVs result in immune dysfunction and a disease phenotype. Particularly, our data highlights the importance of LSP1 CNVs and LSP1 insufficiency in the pathogenesis of RA and provides novel insights into the mechanisms underlying T cell migration toward the inflamed synovium in RA.

Total RNA was isolated from splenic T cells of Lsp1-deficient and wild-type mice, which were stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 Abs for 6 hours.

CGH analysis of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patient genomes

Project description:To identify susceptibility genes concerning copy number variations (CNVs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a case-control genome-wide CNV analyses was carried out by Roche Nimblegen array-based CGH. In this study, 15 RA patients and 1 control (Non-RA) were included.

Intraindividual Genetic Variation in Human Fetuses with a Preimplantation Origin

Project description:Intraindividual copy number variations (CNVs) happen post-zygotically, however their origin is largely unknown. They might appear either through aging or may resist following the common chromosome instability at the preimplantation stage. To uncover a part of this question we investigated fetal mosaicism and its origin. According to distribution pattern of frequent CNVs in derivatives of different germ layers, their origin is early development including preimplantation, whereas CNVs with low frequency occur in later stages. Both fetuses share CNVs, some in the same tissues and some other in different tissues. Functional analysis showed that altered genes were involved in embryonic development pathways. Each organ inherits CNVs with an unpredictable pattern due to extensive cell mixing/migration in embryonic development. Since we have found frequent intraindividual reciprocal CNVs as events with preimplantation origin in both fetuses, mosaic embryo transfer should be performed with caution because it may increase susceptibility to develop early/late onset diseases with genetic component even though recent reports seems to encourage IVF clinics for mosaic embryo transfer.

Regional CNS immune fingerprint in chronic peripheral inflammation

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is linked to depression and dementia in later life by inflammatory involvement of the central nervous system (CNS). Regional heterogeneity of brain immunophenotypes was described under homeostasis, but a topographical resolution of CNS immune responses in chronic peripheral inflammatory diseases like RA is missing. We demonstrate regional heterogeneity of CNS susceptibility to chronic peripheral inflammation in the human tumor necrosis factor α transgenic (TNFtg) mouse model of RA. TNFtg mice showed myeloid cell infiltration, microglial activation, and a mutual transcriptomic fingerprint of neuroinflammation in the cortex, striatum, and thalamus. Immune responses were minimal in the hippocampus and cerebellum. We demonstrate regional CNS immune responses to chronic peripheral inflammation, sparing the hippocampus and cerebellum and reversible by peripheral anti-inflammatory treatment. Targeting microenvironmental susceptibility or resilience of brain regions will help to prevent and treat RA-related neuropsychiatric comorbidity. RNA-sequencing was performed from five brain regions (cortex, striatum, thalamus, hippocampus, and cerebellum) from C57Bl6/J wild type mice and TNFtg mice (strain Tg197; kindly provided by George Kollias (Fleming Institute, Vari, Greece).

DNA profiling of human normal colon tissues

Project description:To study the field cancerization effect, we screened systemic metastasis-related CNVs from morphologically normal colon tissues adjacent to colon cancer that had systemic metastasis. 89 systemic metastasis-related CNVs, mainly consisting of migration and invasion-, morphology-, cell death and survival-related pathways, were selected. Noticeably, LIM and senescent cell antigen-like domains 2 (LIMS 2, PINCH2) showed copy number amplification and up-regulation of mRNA expression in the non-relapsed group compared to the systemic relapse group. Colon cancer cells had lower expression of PINCH2 protein and mRNA compared with normal epithelial colon cells.

Rare de novo copy number variants in patients with congenital pulmonary atresia

Project description:Ongoing studies using genomic microarrays and next-generation sequencing have demonstrated that the genetic contributions to cardiovascular diseases have been significantly ignored in the past. The aim of this study was to identify rare copy number variants in individuals with congenital pulmonary atresia (PA). Based on the hypothesis that rare structural variants encompassing key genes play an important role in heart development in PA patients, we performed high-resolution genome-wide microarrays for copy number variations (CNVs) in 82 PA patient-parent trios and 189 controls with an Illumina SNP array platform. CNVs were identified in 17/82 patients (20.7%), and eight of these CNVs (9.8%) are considered potentially pathogenic. Five de novo CNVs occurred at two known congenital heart disease (CHD) loci (16p13.1 and 22q11.2). Two de novo CNVs that may affect folate and vitamin B12 metabolism were identified for the first time. A de novo 1-Mb deletion at 17p13.2 may represent a rare genomic disorder that involves mild intellectual disability and associated facial features. high-resolution genome-wide microarrays for copy number variations (CNVs) in 82 PA patient-parent trios and 189 controls with an Illumina SNP array platform. Only 21 samples with potentially pathogenic CNVs are included in this records

Partial loss of CFIm25 causes aberrant alternative polyadenylation and learning deficits

Project description:We previously showed that NUDT21-spanning copy-number variations (CNVs) are associated with intellectual disability (ID), and that NUDT21-encoded CFIm25 regulates the protein levels of at least one dose-sensitive, ID-associated protein: MeCP2 (Gennarino et al., 2015). However, the patients’ CNVs also spanned multiple other genes raising the possibility that loss or gain of these other genes caused their symptoms. To determine if reduced NUDT21 function alone is sufficient to cause disease, we generated Nudt21 heterozygous null mice to mimic the human state of reduced expression. We found that although these mice have 50% reduced Nudt21 mRNA, they only have 30% less of its cognate protein, CFIm25. Despite this partial protein-level compensation, the Nudt21+/- mice have learning deficits and cortical hyperexcitability. Further, to determine the molecular mechanism driving neural dysfunction, we partially inhibited NUDT21 in human embryonic stem cell-derived neurons to reduce CFIm25 by 30%. This reduction in CFIm25 was sufficient to induce misregulated alternative polyadenylation (APA) and protein levels in hundreds of genes, dozens of which are associated with intellectual disability and whose dysregulation is likely contributing to disease symptoms. Altogether, these results indicate that disruption of NUDT21-regulated APA events in the brain can cause intellectual disability.
