Characteristics of steroid hormones in systemic lupus erythematosus revealed by GC/MS-based metabolic profiling

ABSTRACT:

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease with a remarkable predominance in female, suggesting that steroid hormones may be involved in the pathogenesis. Herein, more than 70 kinds of steroids in urine were detected by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to reveal SLE-specific steroid alterations. Principle component analysis demonstrated that the steroid profile was obviously distinguished between SLE patients and controls. Lower level of total androgens was observed in patients, and 9 androgens (DHEA, testosterone, Etio, androsterone, βαβ-Diol, Epi-An, Epi-DHT, 16α-OH-DHEA, A-Diol) underwent significant decrease. Besides, SLE patients exhibited slightly higher level of total estrogens than controls, and 3 estrogens (17-Epi-E3, 17α-E2, E3) were remarkably increased. Furthermore, we identified the elevation of 2 sterols (Lan, Chol), and the reduction of 1 corticoid (11-DeoxyF) and 2 progestins (5α-DHP, 11β-OH-Prog) in patients. In this study, metabolic signature of urinary steroids associated with SLE was comprehensively defined by GC/MS for the first time, and steroid metabolism disorders were found in SLE patients, especially the conversion of androgens to estrogens. Our findings will provide new insights for a deeper understanding of the mechanism of steroid hormones in the pathogenesis of SLE, and help to unravel the reason of sexual disparity in SLE.

lncRNA profiling in moDCs of systemic lupus erythematosus

Project description:Recent studies have shown that alterations in the function of dendritic cells (DCs) are involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the role of DCs participating in SLE remains unclear. We profiled the lncRNAs of LPS-stimulated moDCs in SLE patients compared with healthy controls.

Genome-wide DNA methylation study in Chinese Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Project description:Epigenetic alternations in addition to genetic factors are important contributors to the pathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Recent studies revealed that aberrant changes in DNA methylation occur in SLE patients, and potentially contributes to the pathogenesis. Using genome-wide DNA methylation microarray, the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip, we compared the DNA methylation level of white blood cells between Chinese female SLE patients with that of healthy controls. There was no difference in global levels of DNA methylation between SLE patients and controls. However, we identified 36 CpG sites with differential loss of DNA methylation and 8 CpG sites with differential gain of DNA methylation, representing 26 genes and 7 genes respectively. Surprisingly, nearly half of the hypomethylated CpG sites were located in the CpG shores, which implicated the functional importance of loss of DNA methylation in the CpG shores in SLE.

Fecal Metabolomics and Potential Biomarkers for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Project description:The role of metabolomics in autoimmune diseases has been a rapidly expanding area in researches over the last decade, while its pathophysiologic impact on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains poorly elucidated. In this study, we analyzed the metabolic profiling of fecal samples from SLE patients and healthy controls based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with mass spectrometry for exploring the potential biomarkers of SLE. The results showed that 23 differential metabolites and 5 perturbed pathways were identified between the two groups, including aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, thiamine metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, and cyanoamino acid metabolism. In addition, logistic regression and ROC analysis were used to establish a diagnostic model for distinguishing SLE patients from healthy controls. The combined model of fecal PG 27:2 and proline achieved an area under the ROC curve of 0.846, and had a good diagnostic efficacy. In the present study, we analyzed the correlations between fecal metabolic perturbations and SLE pathogenesis. In summary, we firstly illustrate the comprehensive metabolic profiles of feces in SLE patients, suggesting that the fecal metabolites could be used as the potential non-invasive biomarkers for SLE.

Targeting the mitochondrial recycling dysfunction in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients NK cells with Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)

Project description:Objectives: Natural Killer (NK) cell dysfunction contributes to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis, but its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates immunometabolic alterations in NK cells from SLE patients and explores therapeutic strategies for their restoration. Methods: We characterized mitochondrial structure and function in NK cells from the peripheral blood of SLE patients and healthy controls using flow cytometry, electron microscopy, and proteomics. Key mitophagy-related gene expressions were quantified using qPCR. The therapeutic effects of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) on mitochondrial recycling and NK cell function were assessed in vitro. Results: SLE NK cells were characterized by an accumulation of enlarged, hyperpolarized mitochondria with cristae disorganization, and reduced mitophagy. Impaired lysosomal acidification and mtDNA extrusion into the cytosol were also observed. Treatment with hydroxychloroquine restored lysosomal pH, mitochondrial recycling, and NK cell effector functions, including cytokine production and cytotoxicity. Conclusions: This study identifies mitochondrial recycling dysfunction as a driver of NK cell abnormalities in SLE and highlights the potential of HCQ to restore NK cell functionality. These findings provide new insights into the immunometabolic mechanisms underlying SLE and suggest avenues for targeted therapeutic interventions.

Gene-regulatory network analysis of systemic lupus erythermatosus with a single-cell chromatin accessible assay

Project description:Systemic lupus erythermatosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease, and epigenetic study is promissing for illustrating the mechanisms of SLE pathogenesis. Assay for transposase accessible chromatin in single cells sequencing (scATAC-seq) shows priority to trackle this barrier. Thus, scATAC-seq was applied to difine the landscape of active regulatory DNA in systemic lupus erythermatosus (SLE) at single cell resolusion. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were robustly clustered based on their types without using antibodies. 20 patterns of transcription factor (TF) activation that drive abnormal immune response in SLE patients were identified. Meaniwhile, 10 genes associated with SLE pathogenesis that alter T cell activity and 52 significantly enriched TF motifs in SLE patients were revealed. These results reveal candidate makers in SLE-PBMC, showing feasibility for epigenetic therapy, and providing a foundational insights on epigenetic therapy.

LC-MS of PBMC in SLE and healthy control

Project description:Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease that displays a significant gender difference in terms of incidence and severity. However, the underlying mechanisms accounting for sexual dimorphism remain unclear. To reveal the heterogeneity in the pathogenesis of SLE between male and female patients. PBMC were collected from 15 patients with SLE (7 males, 8 females) and 15 age-matched healthy controls (7 males, 8 females) for proteomic analysis. Enrichment analysis of proteomic data revealed that type I interferon signaling and neutrophil activation networks mapped to both male and female SLE, while male SLE has a higher level of neutrophil activation compared with female SLE. Our findings define gender heterogeneity in the pathogenesis of SLE and may facilitate the development of gender-specific treatments.
