Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in cancer therapy are challenged for immune-related adverse events (irAEs), such as inflammatory arthritis induced by ICI therapy (ICI-arthritis) and exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). As well as activating T cells by inhibiting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/ programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) signal, anti-PD-L1 antibody (αPD-L1 ab) activate intracellular pathway through PD-L1 binding. However, the effects of αPD-L1 ab on synovial fibroblasts, which are important in the pathogenesis of arthritis, are unknown.

Project description:We have previously shown that FGF9 is overexpressed in hypoxia through the IRES located in the 5’UTR. To identify the protein that binds to FGF9 IRES and controls FGF9 protein synthesis in hypoxia, FGF9 IRES RNA was in vitro synthesized and used to pulled-down interacting proteins. The RNA-protein complexes were first visualized by sliver staining, followed by cutting specific bands for protein identification using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF MS).

Project description:Temporally and spatially coordinated epithelial–mesenchymal interactions are central to the development of the primitive gut tube endoderm and are necessary to form functional organs of the gastrointestinal tract, including the pancreas. Here, we examined the functional role of the secreted factor Fgf9 in murine pancreatic development. Single-cell RNA-sequencing was performed on embryonic day (E) 14.5 mouse pancreas from both wildtype and Fgf9 knockout embryos. Our data reveal shifts in cellular populations upon loss of Fgf9. In addition, we have identified specific transcriptional programs and signaling pathways perturbed in the context of loss of Fgf9 during pancreatic development.

Project description:Objectives: Fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) is expressed by somatic cells in the seminiferous tubules, yet little information exists about its role in regulating spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). Materials and Methods: Fgf9 overexpression lentivirus was injected into mouse testes, and PLZF immunostaining was performed to investigate the effect of FGF9 on spermatogonia in vivo. Effect of FGF9 on SSCs was detected by transplanting cultured germ cells into tubules of testes. RNA-seq of bulk RNA and single-cell was performed to explore FGF9 working mechanisms. SB203580 was used to disrupt p38 MAPK pathway. p38 MAPK protein expression was detected by western blot and qPCR was performed to determine different gene expression. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to knock down Etv5 gene expression in germ cells. Results: Overexpression of Fgf9 in vivo resulted in arrested spermatogenesis and accumulation of undifferentiated spermatogonia. Exposure of germ cell cultures to FGF9 resulted in larger numbers of SSCs over time. Inhibition of p38 MAPK phosphorylation negated the SSC growth advantage provided by FGF9. Etv5 and Bcl6b gene expression was enhanced by FGF9 treatment. Gene knockdown of Etv5 disrupted the growth effect of FGF9 in cultured SSCs along with downstream expression of Bcl6b. Conclusions: Taken together, this data indicates that FGF9 is an important regulator of SSC proliferation, operating through p38 MAPK phosphorylation and upregulating Etv5 and Bcl6b in turn.

Project description:In this study, we found that Fgf9 regulates the bone-fat balance by modulating the cell fate determination of BMSCs. Histology and micro-CT analysis demonstrate that Fgf9 S99N mutation (loss-of-function) significantly inhibited the formation of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) in adult mice and alleviated the ovariectomized (OVX) induced bone loss and BMAT accumulation. In vitro cytodifferentiation assays unveiled that the Fgf9 S99N mutation hindered adipogenesis while promoting osteogenesis in BMSCs. Furthermore, recombinant FGF9 stimulation and Fgf9 overexpression in BMSCs demonstrated that Fgf9 significantly promoted adipocyte formation and inhibited osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Cytodifferentiation assays at various stages of BMSC differentiation indicated that FGF9 altered the osteogenic and adipogenic potential of BMSCs, particularly during the early stages of differentiation. Transcriptomic and gene expression analyses demonstrated that FGF9 significantly upregulated the expression of adipogenic genes while downregulating osteogenic gene expression at both mRNA and protein levels. KEEG analysis revealed and in vitro differentiation assays with specific inhibitors confirmed that FGF9 modulated bone-fat balance by inhibiting osteogenesis via the MAPK/ERK pathway and promoting adipogenesis by activating the PI3K/AKT and Hippo pathways.

Project description:Background: Synovial inflammation is associated with pain severity in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The aim here was to determine in a population with knee OA, whether synovial tissue from areas associated with pain exhibited different synovial fibroblast transcriptomes, compared to synovial tissue from sites not associated with pain. A further aim was to compare differences between early and end-stage disease synovial fibroblasts. Methods: Patients with early knee OA (n=29) and end-stage knee OA (n=22) were recruited. Patient reported pain was recorded by questionnaire and using an anatomical knee pain map. Proton density fat suppressed MRI axial and sagittal sequences were analysed and scored for synovitis. Synovial tissue was obtained from the medial and lateral parapatellar and suprapatellar sites. RNA sequencing was performed using Illumina’s NextSeq 500 and analysed with Galaxy web platform, usegalaxy.org, and Qlucore software. Transcriptomes were functionally characterised using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Findings: Parapatellar synovitis was significantly associated with increased OA pain perception. Functional pathway analysis revealed that early OA painful sites mediate immune cell recruitment and promote the formation and development of neurites. Conclusion: OA disease progression and the presence of pain in early OA is associated with different synovial pathotypes. Further interrogation of these pathotypes will increase our understanding of the role of synovitis in OA joint pain and provide a rationale for the therapeutic targeting to alleviate pain in patients.

Project description:To determine the functional significance of the expression of CXCL8 in mesenchymal GSCs, we examined the effect of CXCL8 disruption with two non-overlapping small hairpin RNAs (shRNA) on the mesenchymal GSC maintenance. Silencing CXCL8 with two independent shRNAs significantly reduced CXCL8 expression on in mesenchymal GSCs (839 and 2907) .

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis (PD) are chronic inflammatory diseases that appear to occur in tandem. Autoantibodies against citrullinated peptide antigens linked pathogeneses with PD preceding RA. However, the mutual impact PD exerts on RA and vice versa has not yet been defined. To address this issue, we set up an animal model and analyzed how the prime inducers of citrullination - Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans – differ in their pathogenic potential. Our experimental setup included collagen induced arthritis (CIA) in the mouse, oral inoculation with P. gingivalis or A. actinomycetemcomitans to induce alveolar bone loss and the combination of both diseases in inverted orders of events. Label-free quantitative proteome analysis revealed that P. gingivalis and A. actinomycetemcomitans led to differential expression patterns in the synovial membranes that were reminiscent of cellular and humoral immune responses, respectively. The P. gingivalis and A. actinomycetemcomitans specific signatures in the synovial proteomes suggest a role for oral pathogens in shaping disease subtypes and setting the stage for subsequent therapy response.
