Cell-type specific epigenetic regulome in Systemic Sclerosis skin

ABSTRACT: Skin systemic sclerosis (Scleroderma, SSc) is an autoimmune disease while its epigenetic regulatory mechanism is not known. We surveyed the genome-wide active regulatory elements in fresh human skin cells, using Assay of Transposase Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) in longitudinal skin from healthy volunteers and affected and unaffected skin from patients with SSc. We created robust pipelines that enable accurate single molecule counting and allelic discrimination from clinical material in vivo without clonal expansion. We generated high-resolution epigenetic regulomes of 9 cell types in normal and SSc skins, and identified 106044 cell type specific accessible sites. Motif analysis of these peaks predicted known and novel transcription factors regulating each cell type. For each cell type, we discovered thousands of accessible sites are differential in normal versus unaffected and affected skin from patients with SSc. We predicted novel transcription factors regulating SSc in a cell type specific manner, and predicted the relative contributions of each cell type in driving skin SSc. ATAC-seq also revealed novel elements that escape X chromosome inactivation, which coordinately impact genes with immune function.

Large-scale analysis of longitudinal skin gene expression in systemic sclerosis reveals relationships of immune cell and fibroblast activity with skin thickness and a trend towards normalization over time

Project description:339 total forearm skin biopsies were obtained from 113 unique SSc patients and 44 matched healthy controls. 105 SSc patients had a 2nd biopsy, 76 patients had a 3rd biopsy, and 1 patient had a 4th biopsy. Global gene expression profiling was performed, and differentially expressed genes and cell type-specific signatures in SSc were evaluated for relationships to skin thickness and other clinical variables. Changes in skin gene expression over time were analyzed by mixed effects models and principal component analysis. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to validate conclusions. Skin thickness in SSc is related to dysregulated immune cell and fibroblast gene expression. Skin gene expression changes over time in early diffuse SSc, with a tendency towards normalization.

Expression data from murine GVH-SSc skin

Project description:Murine GVH-SSc dorsal scapular skin samples were analyzed to determine the effect of IFNAR-1 inhibition on gene expression at day 14 and day 28. Gene expression in GVH-SSc skin from mice treated with a neutralizing IFNAR-1 antibody was compared to that in GVH-SSc skin from mice treated with isotype IgG, with skin from syngeneic graft controls as reference. For each timepoint, the following samples were analyzed: syngeneic control (n=4); GVH-SSc isotype (n=4); GVH-SSc anti-IFNAR-1 (n=4)

Suppression of T Cell Activation and Collagen Accumulation by an Anti-IFNAR1 mAb, Anifrolumab, in Adult Patients with Systemic Sclerosis

Project description:Type I IFNs are implicated in the pathophysiology of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Recently, a Phase I open-label trial was conducted with an anti-IFNAR1 receptor antibody (anifrolumab) in adult SSc patients. In this study, we aim to assess the downstream effects of anifrolumab and elucidate the role of type I IFN in SSc. Serum proteins and extracellular matrix (ECM) markers were measured in relation to IFN pathway activation status and SSc disease activity. Our results demonstrated a robust overexpression of multiple serum proteins in SSc patients, particularly those with an elevated baseline type I IFN gene signature. Anifrolumab administration was associated with significant downregulation of T cell–associated proteins and upregulation of type III collagen degradation marker. Whole-blood and skin microarray results also indicated the inhibition of T cell receptor and ECM–related transcripts by anifrolumab. In summary, our study demonstrates suppressive effects of anifrolumab on T cell activation and collagen accumulation through which tissue fibrosis may be reduced in SSc patients. The relationship between these peripheral markers and the clinical response to anifrolumab may be examined in larger double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. PAXGene whole blood tubes were collected from 29 SSc subjects at baseline and day 56 after anifrolumab administration, and skin biopsies were procured from 10 SSc subjects at baseline and day 28 after multiple-doses of anifrolumab administration.

Individuality and variation of personal regulomes in human T cells

Project description:We surveyed the variation and dynamics of active regulatory elements genome-wide in CD4+ T cells, using Assay of Transposase Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) in longitudinal samples from healthy volunteers and during T cell activation. We created robust pipelines that enable accurate single molecule counting and allelic discrimination from clinical material. Over 4000 regulatory elements (7.2%) showed reproducible personal variation in activity. Gender was the most significant attributable source of regulome variation. ATAC-seq revealed novel elements that escape X chromosome inactivation and predicted gender-specific gene regulatory networks across autosomes, which coordinately impact genes with immune function. Noisy regulatory elements with personal variation in accessibility are significantly enriched for autoimmune disease loci. Over one third of regulome variation lacked genetic variation in cis, suggesting contributions from environmental or epigenetic factors. These results refine concepts of human individuality and provide foundational reference to compare disease-associated regulomes. We examined chromatin structure using ATAC-seq in purified human CD4+ T cells in 33 samples from 12 healthy donors and 15 samples from 3 patients with cutaneous T cell leukemia (CTCL). For T cell activation (TCA) time course, CD4+ cells from healthy donor 1 isolated as above were stimulated with ionomycin (1 ug/mL) and Phorbol Myristate Acetate (PMA; 20 ng/mL) and collected at 0, 1, 2, 4 hours in duplicate.

LGR5 expressing skin fibroblasts define a major hub perturbed in Systemic Sclerosis

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an incurable autoimmune disease with high morbidity and mortality rates, with no effective treatment. Here, we conducted a population scale single-cell genomic analysis of skin and blood samples of 56 healthy controls, and 97 SSc patients at different stages of disease. We found immune compartment activation in only a subset of diffuse SSc patients, but global dysregulation of the stromal compartment, including a novel subset of LGR5+ scleroderma associated fibroblasts (ScAF). ScAF cells are mainly localized in the deep reticular dermis of healthy subjects and are dramatically perturbed morphologically and molecularly in SSc patients. Single-cell multiome profiling of the epigenetic and transcriptional landscapes of stromal cells in healthy subjects and SSc patients, revealed ScAF-specific markers, pathways, and transcription factors important in disease development. Systematic analysis combining the clinical metadata and molecular features of the patients, associates specific ScAF targets with disease pathogenesis and SSc clinical traits. Our study provides a high-resolution atlas of the entire spectrum of sclerodermatous skin, proposing a paradigm shift in the understanding of SSc disease and facilitating the development of new biomarkers and therapeutic strategies for SSc.

A simple and robust plate-based single-cell ATAC-seq on various tissues and cell lines

Project description:The assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) is widely used to identify regulatory regions throughout the genome. However, only a few studies have been done at the single cell level (scATAC-seq) due to technical difficulties. Here we developed a simple and robust plate-based scATAC-seq method, combining upfront bulk tagmentation with single-nuclei sorting, to investigate open chromatin regions. We applied this method on mouse splenocytes and unbiasedly revealed key regulatory regions and transcription factors that define each cell (sub)type.
