Project description:Gene expression profiles were obtained from 17 children with rheumatoid factor negative (RF-) polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The disease was inactive in all patients at visit 1. Thee disease remained inactive at visit 2 for 9 patients, while the other 8 patients were experiencing a disease flare at visit 2. The goal of the study was to better understand the underlying molecular biology of flares in JIA Total RNA was obtained from PBMC at two different times in the course of disease

Project description:Objective. To identify gene expression differences in peripheral blood from patients with early and late onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated from 56 healthy controls and 104 patients with recent onset JIA (39 persistent oligoarticular, 45 RF-polyarticular, and 20 systemic). Poly(A) RNA was amplified and labeled using NuGEN Ovation, and gene expression assessed with Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChips®. Results. A total of 832 probe sets revealed gene expression differences (false-discovery rate 5%) in PBMC from children with oligoarticular JIA whose disease began before 6 years of age (age at onset [AaO] <6; early onset), compared to subjects whose disease began at 6 years of age or later (AaO ?6; late onset). In early onset patients there was greater expression of genes related to B-cells, and lesser expression of genes related to cells of the myeloid lineage. Support Vector Machine algorithms identified samples from early or late onset oligoarticular (97% accuracy) or polyarticular (89% accuracy) JIA patients, but not systemic JIA patients or healthy controls. Principal component analysis showed that the major classifier of samples was AaO regardless of whether they had oligoarticular or polyarticular JIA. Conclusion. PBMC gene expression analysis reveals biologic differences between early and late onset JIA patients independent of classification based on the number of joints involved. These data suggest AaO may be an important parameter to consider in JIA classification. Furthermore, different pathologic mechanisms may influence AaO, and understanding these processes may lead to improved treatment of JIA. Methods.

Project description:Objective. Microarray analysis was used to determine whether children with recent onset polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) exhibit biologically or clinically informative gene expression signatures in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Methods. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 59 healthy children and 61 children with polyarticular JIA prior to treatment with second-line medications, such as methotrexate or biological agents. RNA was purified from Ficoll-isolated mononuclear cells, fluorescently labeled and then hybridized to Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChips. Data were analyzed using ANOVA at a 5% false discovery rate threshold after Robust Multi-Array Average pre-processing and Distance Weighted Discrimination normalization. Results. Initial analysis revealed 873 probe sets for genes that were differentially expressed between polyarticular JIA and controls. Hierarchical clustering of these probe sets distinguished three subgroups within polyarticular JIA. Prototypical subjects within each subgroup were identified and used to define subgroup-specific gene expression signatures. One of these signatures was associated with monocyte markers, another with transforming growth factor-beta-inducible genes, and a third with immediate-early genes. Correlation of these gene expression signatures with clinical and biological features of JIA subgroups suggests direct relevance to aspects of disease activity and supports the division of polyarticular JIA into distinct subsets. Conclusions. PBMC gene expression signatures in recent onset polyarticular JIA reflect discrete disease processes and offer a molecular classification of disease.

Project description:Objective: A multi-center study of recent onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) subjects prior to treatment with DMARDS or biologics was undertaken to identify peripheral blood gene expression differences between JIA subclasses and controls. Methods: PBMC from 59 healthy children and 136 JIA subjects (28 enthesitis-related arthritis[ERA], 42 persistent oligoarthritis, 45 RF- polyarthritis, and 21 systemic) were isolated on Ficoll. Poly-A RNA was labeled using NuGEN Ovation and gene expression profiles were obtained using Affymetrix HG-U133 plus 2.0 Arrays. Results: 9,501 differentially expressed probe sets were identified among JIA subtypes and controls (ANOVA, FDR 5%). Specifically, 193, 1036, 873 and 7595 probe sets were different between controls and ERA, persistent oligoarthritis, RF- polyarthritis and systemic JIA samples respectively. In persistent oligoarthritis, RF- polyarthritis and systemic JIA subtypes, up-regulation of gene associated with IL-10 signaling was prominent. A hemoglobin cluster was identified that was under-expressed in ERA patients but over-expressed in systemic JIA. The influence of JAK/STAT, ERK/MAPK, IL-2 and B cell receptor signaling pathways was evident in persistent oligoarthritis. In systemic JIA, up regulation of innate immune pathways, including IL-6, TLR/IL1R, and PPAR signaling were noted, along with down regulation of gene networks related to NK and T cells. Complement and coagulation pathways were up-regulated in systemic JIA with a subset of these components differentially-expressed in the other three subtypes. Conclusions: Expression analysis identified differentially expressed genes in PBMCs between subclasses of JIA early in disease and controls, thus providing evidence for immunobiologic differences between these forms of childhood arthritis.

Project description:The polyarticular and oligoarticular forms of juvenile idiopathic arthritis are classified as distinct entities. At the same time, many children who present with an oligoarticular phenotype eventually evolve to a polyarticular disease pattern, suggesting that the phenotypes might share with overlapping molecular mechanisms. Using gene expression microarrays, we found that 14 genes in neutrophils and 55 genes in PBMC shows common patterns of differential expression when children with active oligoarticular and polyarticular JIA were compared with healthy controls. These results demonstrate that there are commonalities between oligoarticular and polyarticular JIA that suggest overlapping immune mechanisms. Total RNA was extracted from isolated PBMC and neutrophils from 14 patients with polyarticular JIA and 8 patients with pauciarticular JIA. Total RNA was extracted from neutrophils from 13 healthy controls and from PBMC from 15 healthy controls. Insufficient RNA for microarrays was obtained from neutrophils from two of the healthy controls.

Project description:With H3K27ac chromatin immunoprecipitation we identified a disease-specific, inflammation-associated, (super-)enhancer signature in JIA patient synovial fluid-derived CD4+ memory/effector T cells. This signature consists of unique pathogenesis-associated epigenetic changes which extend beyond general T cell activation-induced alterations, indicating that disease-specific (super-)enhancers contribute to JIA pathogenesis. In addition, our analysis shows that there is a profound enrichment of JIA-related SNPs in (super-)enhancers in JIA patients compared to controls, illustrating the importance of these non-coding regions for disease pathogenesis.
