Project description:Even though autoimmune diseases are heterogeneous, believed to result from the interaction between genetic and environmental components, patients with these disorders exhibit reproducible patterns of gene expression in their peripheral blood mononuclear cells. A portion of this gene expression profile reflects family resemblance rather than the actual presence of an autoimmune disease. Here we wanted to identify that portion of this gene expression pattern that is independent of family resemblance and determine if it is a product of disease duration, disease onset, or other factors. By increasing the number of autoimmune samples in our analysis and employing supervised clustering algorithms, we identified 100 genes whose expression profiles are shared in individuals with various autoimmune diseases but are not shared by first-degree relatives of individuals with autoimmune disease or by controls. Individuals with early disease (1 yr after onset) and established disease (10 yr after onset) exhibit a near identical expression pattern suggesting that this unique profile reflects disease onset rather than disease duration. supervised gene expression profiling were performed to a cohort sample pool: control individuals(8), unaffected family members of autoimmune diseases patients (8), and individuals with autoimmune diseases (54). we try to identify a gene expression signatures that were exclusively associated with autoimmune diseases but not infulenced by genetic components

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have boosted our knowledge of genetic risk variants in autoimmune diseases (AIDs). Most of the risk variants are located within or near genes with immunological functions, and the majority is found to be non-coding, pointing towards a regulatory role. We have performed a cis expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) screen to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with AIDs influence gene expression in thymus. Genotyping was performed using the Immunochip and 353 AID associated SNPs were tested against expression of surrounding genes (+/- 1 Mb) from human thymic tissue (N=42). We identified eight genes where the expression was associated with AID risk SNPs at a study-wide level of significance (P < 2.57x10-5). Five genes (FCRL3, RNASET2, C2orf74, SIRPG and SYS1) displayed cis eQTL signals also in other tissues, while for two loci (NPIPB8 and LOC388814), the eQTL signal appear to be thymus-specific. Since many AID risk variants from GWAS have been subsequently fine-mapped in recent Immunochip projects, we explored the overlap between these novel AID risk variants and the thymic eQTL regions. Moreover, we examined the functional annotation of the seven expression altering SNPs (eSNPs). Our study reveals autoimmune risk variants that act as eQTLs in thymus. We have highlighted functional variants within these genetic regions that potentially can represent causal autoimmune risk variants. Total RNA from 42 human thymic samples were obtained from children undergoing cardiac surgery.

Project description:Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) are the most common group of autoimmune diseases, associated with lymphocyte infiltration and the production of thyroid autoantibodies, like thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb), in the thyroid gland. Immunoglobulins (Igs) and cell-surface receptors are glycoproteins with distinctive glycosylation patterns that play a structural role in maintaining and modulating their functions. We investigated associations of total circulating IgG and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) glycosylation with AITD and the influence of genetic background. The study revealed an inverse association of IgG core fucosylation with TPOAb and PBMCs antennary α1,2 fucosylation with AITD, but no shared genetic variance between AITD and glycosylation. These data suggest that the decreased level of IgG core fucosylation is a risk factor for AITD that promotes antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) associated with TPOAb levels

Project description:Autoimmune disease is a systemic inflammatory response of immune blood cells caused by self-tolerance dysfunction, due to genetic or environmental factors or a combination thereof. Studies on autoimmune disease regarding the inhibition of toll-like receptor (TLR)7/9-MyD axis or the regulation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and Th17 comprising an abundance of respective receptors have shown improvements in phenotypes or molecular markers, providing clues to the practicality of the inhibitors of endosomal TLRs. This study discovered several small-molecule compounds in endosomes exerting specific inhibitory effects on SITE1 shared among TLR 3, 7, 8, and 9, named endosomal TLR inhibitors (ETIs). The drug discovery process involved identifying lead compounds optimized to the receptors using a quantitative structure-activity relationship model and subsequent modification of the compounds to improve their binding affinity to target proteins. To propose a method of verifying the drug effects against side or placebo effect arising from false positives, the drug evaluation process converged from cellular response to signaling process to protein binding. Drug values on the inhibition of endosomal TLRs in autoimmune disease were assessed based on the onset of mild-to-life-threatening autoimmune disease including psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis. Complete healing was achieved for psoriasis through direct or indirect association with TLRs. Therapeutic potential of the novel ETIs for psoriasis was verified and is considered an effective drug for other autoimmune diseases associated with the TLR7/9-MyD axis.

Project description:Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are heterogeneous chronic autoimmune diseases that may share underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Herein, we compared simultaneously analyzed blood transcriptomes from patients with PBC, PSC, and IBD.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies have been tremendously successful in identifying genetic variants associated with complex diseases. The majority of association signals are intergenic and evidence is accumulating that a high proportion of signals lie in enhancer regions.We use Capture Hi-C to investigate, for the first time, the interactions between associated variants for four autoimmune diseases and their functional targets in B- and T-cell lines. Here we report numerous looping interactions and provide evidence that only a minority of interactions are common to both B- and T-cell lines, suggesting interactions may be highly cell-type specific; some disease-associated SNPs do not interact with the nearest gene but with more compelling candidate genes (for example, FOXO1, AZI2) often situated several megabases away; and finally, regions associated with different autoimmune diseases interact with each other and the same promoter suggesting common autoimmune gene targets (for example, PTPRC, DEXI and ZFP36L1). Capture Hi-C was carried out to characterise the interactions of confirmed susceptibility loci for four autoimmune diseases: rheumatoid arthritis (RA), type 1 diabetes (T1D), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) with the aim of linking associated variants with disease-causing genes. We have tested the interactions in two complementary experiments: the first, Region Capture, targets regions associated with disease; the second, Promoter Capture, provides independent validation through capturing all known promoters within 500kb of lead associated disease SNPs. All experiments were performed in human T-cell (Jurkat) and B-cell (GM12878) lines in duplicate.
