Project description:The costimulatory molecule CD226 has emerged as a key regulator of immune responses, yet its role in B cell-mediated pathogenesis of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to explore the relevance between CD226 + B cells and clinical features in pSS patients and to clarify the potential role of CD226-mediated B cell biological functions in contributing to the pathogenesis of pSS.Here, we identified a distinct CD226 + CD19 + B cell subset that exhibited pathogenic features in pSS. CD226 was significantly upregulated on B cells in the peripheral blood and salivary glands of pSS. patients.CD226 + CD19 + B cell showed a stronger correlation with clinical features, disease activity, and prognosis in pSS patients.The ROC curve demonstrated that CD226+CD19+ B cell exhibited significant diagnostic capability to distinguish pSS patients from healthy controls and to differentiate disease activity.This subset also exhibited heightened activation and pro-inflammatory phenotypes.Thereby,CD226+B cell may potentially be a promising therapeutic target and biomarker for the treatment of pSS.

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by vascular damage, and fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Because activated and oligoclonally expanded CD8+ T cells can be detected in peripheral blood and lung of SSc patients, effector memory CD8+ T cells may play a critical role for organ involvement in SSc; however, the pathogenic functions of effector memory CD8+ T cells remain incompletely understood. Here we performed DNA microarray analysis of the sort-purified effector memory CD8+ T cells from SSc patients and healthy controls, and showed that the expression of genes related to immune response and cell adhesion, including CD226 (also known as DNAX accessory molecule-1, DNAM-1), was significantly altered. Moreover, detailed analysis of CD226 revealed that CD226highCD8+ T cells were increased in SSc patients (mean, 50.7%) compared with healthy controls (32.9%) and were appreciably associated with the severity of skin sclerosis and interstitial lung disease. Further, CD226highCD8+ T cells from SSc patients produced abundant IL-13 and were positively correlated with the cytotoxic capacity of CD8+ T cells against HUVECs. Finally, the neutralization of CD226 impaired IL-13 production and cytolysis against HUVECs. These findings indicate that upregulated CD226 expression on CD8+ T cells reflects disease severity and are involved in SSc pathogenesis via the production of profibrotic IL-13 and endothelial cell injury, and that CD226 may be a useful target in the treatment of SSc. We first purified effector memory CD8+ T cells (CD3+CD8+CD45RO+CD62L+ cells) from peripheral blood by cell sorting and subsequently performed cDNA microarray analysis of the sort-purified effector memory CD8+ T cells from 9 SSc patients and 5 healthy controls.

Project description:We recently found that loss of the activating receptor CD226 (DNAM-1) was a critical mechanism affecting CD8+ T cell responsiveness to TCR stimulation. To better understand the molecular differences between CD226- and CD226+ CD8+ T cells, we decided to perform a global transcriptional analysis of purified naive (Tn, CD62L+CD45RA+), central memory (Tcm, CD62L+CD45RA-) and terminal effector memory (Temra, CD62L-CD45RA+) CD226+ and CD226- CD8+ T cells using next generation RNA sequencing.

Project description:Sjögren's disease (SjD) is an autoimmune disease marked by lymphocytic infiltration of salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to glandular dysfunction, where CD4-positive helper T (Th) cells and their cytokines are crucial in the pathogenesis. Recent studies have demonstrated that Toll-like receptors (TLRs), particularly those recognizing immune complexes containing DNA and RNA, contribute to Th cell activation in various autoimmune diseases. This study explores the expression and function of these TLRs in SjD. In scRNA-seq analysis, the TLR8-expressing cluster comprised macrophages and monocytes, which also produced T cell activation genes like CD86, suggesting that infiltrating monocytes and macrophages may produce cytokines and chemokines through TLR8 stimulation, potentially enhancing B7 molecule expression, promoting the adaptive immune response, and contributing to SjD pathogenesis.

Project description:We recently found that loss of the activating receptor CD226 (DNAM-1) was a critical mechanism affecting CD8+ T cell responsiveness to TCR stimulation. To better understand the molecular differences between CD226- and CD226+ CD8+ T cells, we decided to perform a global transcriptional analysis of purified CD226+ and CD226- CD8+ effector memory T cells before and after TCR activation using next generation RNA sequencing. We report here the total RNA sequencing of healthy donor resting CD226- and CD226+ CD8+ Tem cells (n=6/group) or activated (ACT, n=4/group) by α-CD2/CD3/CD28 for 24 hrs.

Project description:Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a pivotal role in type 2 asthma. CD226 is a costimulatory molecule involved in various inflammatory diseases. Here, we aimed to investigate CD226 expression and function within human and mouse ILC2s, and to assess the impact of targeting CD226 on ILC2-mediated airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Our findings demonstrated an inducible expression of CD226 in activated ILC2s, enhancing their cytokine secretion and effector functions. Blocking CD226 ameliorates ILC2-dependent AHR in IL-33 and Alternaria Alternata-induced models. Interestingly, CD226 is expressed and inducible in human ILC2s, and its blocking reduces cytokine production. Finally, we showed that peripheral ILC2s in asthmatic patients exhibited elevated CD226 expression compared to healthy controls.Our findings underscore the potential of CD226 as a novel therapeutic target in ILC2s, presenting a promising avenue for ameliorating AHR and allergic asthma.

Project description:Lung CD8⁺ T cells induced during chronic tuberculosis exhibit functional heterogeneity, comprising both effector and exhausted states. CD226 is the most differentially expressed gene distinguishing effector from exhausted CD8⁺ T cells. Functionally, CD226 serves as a costimulatory molecule that promotes recognition of Mtb-infected macrophages. Loss of CD226 expression correlates with the onset of CD8⁺ T cell exhaustion during tuberculosis.

Project description:Immunotherapeutics that modulate T cell activation represent a crucial component for inhibiting the autoimmune pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and improving the efficacy of β-cell replacement therapy. Here, we present a novel strategy for reducing diabetes incidence in the NOD mouse using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to block the T cell costimulatory receptor, CD226. Notably, female NOD mice treated with 600 µg of ⍺-CD226 mAbs between 7-8 weeks of age showed decreased disease incidence at 30 weeks and reduced insulitis severity compared to mice treated with an isotype control. Ex vivo analysis performed five weeks post-treatment revealed ⍺-CD226 mAbs persist in vivo, reducing the availability of CD226 on CD8+ T cells and Tregs. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrates that ⍺-CD226 mAbs inhibit the proliferation of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in vitro. Similarly, ex vivo samples had reduced CD4+ and CD8+ effector memory T cell proliferation following ⍺-CD226 mAb treatment. Splenocytes treated with ⍺-CD226 mAbs exhibited a more immunoregulatory cytokine profile with decreased IFN-γ and increased IL-10 production. This phenotype was further corroborated by 51Cr-release assays demonstrating reduced cell-mediated lympholysis (CML) of murine β-cells by ⍺-CD226 mAb-treated autoreactive cytotoxic lymphocytes. Ex vivo phenotyping of FOXP3+Helios+ Tregs revealed increased CD25 expression following ⍺-CD226 mAb treatment, with Tregs displaying augmented suppressive capacity of CD4+ responders during in vitro suppression assays. These data suggest that ⍺-CD226 mAbs both reduce T cell cytotoxicity and improve Treg function, with important therapeutic implications for the prevention or suspension of T1D.
