Project description:Our group recently described a population of antigen-presenting cells that appear to be critical in psoriasis pathogenesis, termed inflammatory myeloid dendritic cells (CD11c(+)/blood dendritic cell (DC) antigen 1(-)). Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells type-1 (TREM-1) signaling was a major canonical pathway in the published transcriptome of these cells. TREM-1 is a member of the Ig superfamily, active through the DAP12 signaling pathway, with an unknown ligand. Activation through TREM-1 induces inflammatory cytokines, including IL-8, MCP/CCL2, and tumor necrosis factor. We now show that TREM-1 was expressed in the skin of healthy and psoriatic patients, and there was increased soluble TREM-1 in the circulation of psoriasis patients. In psoriasis lesions, TREM-1 was colocalized with DCs, as well as CD31(+) endothelial cells. TREM-1 expression was reduced with successful narrow band UVB (NB-UVB), etanercept, and anti-IL-17 treatments. An in vitro model of peptidoglycan-activated monocytes as inflammatory myeloid DCs was developed to study TREM-1 blockade, and treatment with a TREM-1 blocking chimera decreased allogeneic T-helper type 17 cell activation, as well as IL-17 production. Furthermore, TREM-1 blockade of ex vivo psoriatic DCs in an allogeneic mixed leukocyte reaction also showed a decrease in IL-17. Together, these data suggest that the TREM-1 signaling pathway may be a previously unidentified therapeutic target to prevent the effects of inflammatory myeloid DCs in psoriasis.

Project description:UNLABELLED:To understand the development of new psoriasis lesions, we studied a group of moderate-to-severe psoriasis patients who experienced a relapse after ceasing efalizumab (anti-CD11a, Raptiva, Genentech). There were increased CD3(+) T cells, neutrophils, CD11c(+) and CD83(+) myeloid dendritic cells (DCs), but no increase in CD1c(+) resident myeloid DCs. In relapsed lesions, there were many CD11c(+)CD1c(-), inflammatory myeloid DCs identified by TNFSF10/TRAIL, TNF, and iNOS. CD11c(+) cells in relapsed lesions co-expressed CD14 and CD16 in situ. Efalizumab induced an improvement in many psoriasis genes, and during relapse, the majority of these genes reversed back to a lesional state. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) of the transcriptome of relapsed tissue showed that many of the gene sets known to be present in psoriasis were also highly enriched in relapse. Hence, on ceasing efalizumab, T cells and myeloid cells rapidly enter the skin to cause classic psoriasis. TRIAL REGISTRATION:Clinicaltrials.gov NCT00115076.

Project description:To understand the development of new psoriasis lesions, we studied a group of moderate-to-severe psoriasis patients who experienced a relapse after ceasing efalizumab (anti-CD11a, Raptiva, Genentech). There were increased CD3+ T cells, neutrophils, CD11c+ and CD83+ myeloid DCs, but no increase in CD1c+ resident myeloid DCs. In relapsed lesions, there were many CD11c+CD1c-, inflammatory myeloid DCs identified by TNFSF10/TRAIL, TNF, and iNOS. CD11c+ cells in relapsed lesions co-expressed CD14 and CD16 in situ. Efalizumab induced an improvement in many psoriasis genes, and during relapse, the majority of these genes reversed back to a lesional state. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) of the transcriptome of relapsed tissue showed that many of the gene sets known to be present in psoriasis were also highly enriched in relapse. Hence, on ceasing efalizumab, T cells and myeloid cells rapidly enter the skin to cause classic psoriasis. To determine the transcsriptome of skin samples in 4 responding patients who relapsed after receiving efalizumab for treatment of psoriasis, using paired baseline non-lesional (NL, n=2); lesional (LS, n=4);week 12 post-treatment (week 12, n=4), and relapse (n=4).

Project description:Myeloid dermal dendritic cells (DCs) accumulate in chronically inflamed tissues such as psoriasis. The importance of these cells for psoriasis pathogenesis is suggested by comparative T-cell and DC-cell counts, where DCs outnumber T cells. We have previously identified CD11c(+)-blood dendritic cell antigen (BDCA)-1(+) cells as the main resident dermal DC population found in normal skin. We now show that psoriatic lesional skin has two populations of dermal DCs: (1) CD11c(+)BDCA-1(+) cells, which are phenotypically similar to those contained in normal skin and (2) CD11c(+)BDCA-1(-) cells, which are phenotypically immature and produce inflammatory cytokines. Although BDCA-1(+) DCs are not increased in number in psoriatic lesional skin compared with normal skin, BDCA-1(-) DCs are increased 30-fold. For functional studies, we FACS-sorted psoriatic dermal single-cell suspensions to isolate these two cutaneous DC populations, and cultured them as stimulators in an allogeneic mixed leukocyte reaction. Both BDCA-1(+) and BDCA-1(-) myeloid dermal DC populations induced T-cell proliferation, and polarized T cells to become T helper 1 (Th1) and T helper 17 (Th17) cells. In addition, psoriatic dermal DCs induced a population of activated T cells that simultaneously produced IL-17 and IFN-gamma, which was not induced by normal skin dermal DCs. As psoriasis is believed to be a mixed Th17/Th1 disease, it is possible that induction of these IL-17(+)IFN-gamma(+) cells is pathogenic. These cytokines, the T cells that produce them, and the inducing inflammatory DCs may all be important new therapeutic targets in psoriasis.

Project description:Toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulation induces innate immune responses involved in many inflammatory disorders including psoriasis. Although activation of the AP-1 transcription factor complex is common in TLR signaling, the specific involvement and induced targets remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of c-Jun/AP-1 protein in skin inflammation following TLR7 activation using human psoriatic skin, Dendritic Cells (DC) and genetically engineered mouse models. We show that c-Jun regulates CCL2 production in DCs leading to impaired recruitment of plasmacytoid DCs to inflamed skin after treatment with the TLR7/8 agonist Imiquimod. Furthermore, deletion of c-Jun in DCs or chemical blockade of JNK/c-Jun signaling ameliorates psoriasis-like skin inflammation by reducing IL-23 production in DCs. Importantly, the control of IL-23 and CCL2 by c-Jun, is most pronounced in murine cutaneous type-2 DCs. CCL2 and IL-23 expression co-localize also in type-2 DCs in human psoriatic skin and JNK-AP-1 inhibition reduces the expression of these targets in TLR7/8-stimulated human DCs. Therefore, c-Jun/AP-1 is a central driver of TLR7-induced immune responses by DCs and JNK/c-Jun a potential therapeutic target in psoriasis.

Project description:Previous work has identified CD11c(+)CD1c(-) dendritic cells (DCs) as the major "inflammatory" dermal DC population in patients with psoriasis vulgaris and CD1c(+) DCs as the "resident" cutaneous DC population.We sought to further define molecular differences between these 2 myeloid dermal DC populations.Inflammatory and resident DCs were single-cell sorted from lesional skin biopsy specimens of patients with psoriasis, and the transcriptome of CD11c(+)CD1c(-) versus CD1c(+) DCs was determined. Results were confirmed with RT-PCR, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and double-labeled immunofluorescence. Human keratinocytes were cultured for functional studies.TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), Toll-like receptors 1 and 2, S100A12/ENRAGE, CD32, and many other inflammatory products were differentially expressed in inflammatory DCs compared with resident DCs. Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence confirmed higher protein expression on CD1c(-) versus CD1c(+) DCs. TRAIL receptors, death receptor 4, and decoy receptor 2 were expressed in keratinocytes and dermal cells. In vitro culture of keratinocytes with TRAIL induced CCL20 chemokine.CD11c(+)CD1c(-) inflammatory DCs in psoriatic lesional skin express a wide range of inflammatory molecules compared with skin-resident CD1c(+) DCs. Some molecules made by inflammatory DCs, including TRAIL, could have direct effects on keratinocytes or other skin cell types to promote disease pathogenesis.

Project description:BACKGROUNDPD-1 and PD-L1 have been studied interchangeably in the clinic as checkpoints to reinvigorate T cells in diverse tumor types. Data for biologic effects of checkpoint blockade in human premalignancy are limited.METHODSWe analyzed the immunologic effects of PD-L1 blockade in a clinical trial of atezolizumab in patients with asymptomatic multiple myeloma (AMM), a precursor to clinical malignancy. Genomic signatures of PD-L1 blockade in purified monocytes and T cells in vivo were also compared with those following PD-1 blockade in lung cancer patients. Effects of PD-L1 blockade on monocyte-derived DCs were analyzed to better understand its effects on myeloid antigen-presenting cells.RESULTSIn contrast to anti-PD-1 therapy, anti-PD-L1 therapy led to a distinct inflammatory signature in CD14+ monocytes and increase in myeloid-derived cytokines (e.g., IL-18) in vivo. Treatment of AMM patients with atezolizumab led to rapid activation and expansion of circulating myeloid cells, which persisted in the BM. Blockade of PD-L1 on purified monocyte-derived DCs led to rapid inflammasome activation and synergized with CD40L-driven DC maturation, leading to greater antigen-specific T cell expansion.CONCLUSIONThese data show that PD-L1 blockade leads to distinct systemic immunologic effects compared with PD-1 blockade in vivo in humans, particularly manifest as rapid myeloid activation. These findings also suggest an additional role for PD-L1 as a checkpoint for regulating inflammatory phenotype of myeloid cells and antigen presentation in DCs, which may be harnessed to improve PD-L1-based combination therapies.TRIAL REGISTRATIONNCT02784483.FUNDINGThis work is supported, in part, by funds from NIH/NCI (NCI CA197603, CA238471, and CA208328).
