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.

Project description:Background: Previous work has identified CD11c+CD1c- dendritic cells (DCs) as the major 'inflammatory' dermal DC population in psoriasis vulgaris and CD1c+ DCs as the 'resident' cutaneous DC population. Objective: To further define molecular differences between these two myeloid dermal DC populations. Methods: Inflammatory and resident DCs were single-cell sorted from psoriasis lesional skin biopsies, and gene array expression profiling was performed. Results were confirmed with RT-PCR, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and double label immunofluorescence. Pooled human keratinocytes were cultured for functional studies. Results: TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 1 and 2, S100A12/EN-RAGE, CD32, and many other inflammatory products were selectively expressed in inflammatory DCs than in resident DCs. Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence confirmed higher protein expression on CD1c- versus CD1c+ DCs. TRAIL receptor, death receptor 4 (DR4), was expressed on basal keratinocytes and blood vessels, and in vitro culture of keratinocytes with rh-TRAIL induced CCL20 leukocyte chemokine. Conclusion: CD11c+CD1c- inflammatory DCs in psoriatic lesional skin express a wide range of inflammatory molecules compared to 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. Shave biopsies were cultured overnight in dispase to remove the epidermis. Dermis was cultured for 36-48 hours to obtain dermal single cell suspensions. These cells were stained with HLA-DR, CD11c, BDCA-1 (DCs) and FACS-sorted into HLA-DR+11c+BDCA-1+, HLA-DR+11c+BDCA-1- populations into Trizol. RNA was extracted and processed for microarray. 2 dependent groups.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic, debilitating, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease. As IFN-gamma is involved in many cellular processes, including activation of T cells and dendritic cells (DCs), antigen processing and presentation, cell adhesion and trafficking, and cytokine and chemokine production, IFN-gamma-producing Th1 cells were proposed to be integral to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Recently, IFN-gamma was shown to enhance IL-23 and IL-1 production by DCs and subsequently induce Th17 cells, important contributors to the inflammatory cascade in psoriasis lesions. To determine if IFN-gamma indeed induces the pathways leading to the development of psoriasis lesions, a single intradermal injection of IFN-gamma was administered to an area of clinically normal, non-lesional skin of psoriasis patients and biopsies were collected 24 hours later. Although there were no visible changes in the skin, IFN-gamma induced molecular and histological features characteristic of psoriasis lesions. IFN-gamma increased a number of differentially expressed genes in the skin, including many chemokines concomitant with an influx of T cells and inflammatory DCs. Furthermore, inflammatory DC products TNF, iNOS, IL-23, and TRAIL were present in IFN-gamma-treated skin. Thus, IFN-gamma, which is significantly elevated in non-lesional skin compared to healthy skin, appears to be a key pathogenic cytokine that can induce the inflammatory cascade in psoriasis. RNA was isolated from whole skin punch biopsies of either healthy or non-lesional psoraisis patients at baseline or 24 hours after placebo or IFN-g injection.

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+ BDCA1-). 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 immunoglobulin superfamily, active through the DAP12 signaling pathway, with an unknown ligand. Activation through TREM-1 induces inflammatory cytokines including IL-8, MCP/CCL2 and TNF. 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 co-localized with dendritic cells as well as CD31+ endothelial cells. TREM-1 expression was reduced with successful NB-UVB, etanercept and anti-IL-17 treatments. An in vitro model of PGN-activated monocytes as inflammatory myeloid DCs was developed to study TREM-1 blockade, and treatment with a TREM-1 blocking chimera decreased allogeneic Th17 activation, as well as IL-17 production. Furthermore, TREM-1 blockade of ex vivo psoriatic dendritic cells in an alloMLR also showed a decrease in IL-17. Together, these data suggest that the TREM-1 signaling pathway offers a novel therapeutic target to prevent the effects of inflammatory myeloid DCs in psoriasis. Monocytes were isolated by plastic adherence, treated with TLR agonists overnight, washed twice and harvested in RTL-buffer. RNA was extracted and processed for microarray. 3 groups and 3 replicates with a paired structure across replicates

Project description:Durable psoriasis improvement has been reported in a subset of psoriasis patients after treatment withdrawal of biologics blocking IL-23/Type 17 T-cell (T17) autoimmune axis. However, it is not well understood if systemic blockade of the IL-23/T17 axis promotes immune tolerance in psoriasis skin. The purpose of the study was to find translational evidence that systemic IL-17A blockade promotes regulatory transcriptome modification in human psoriasis skin immune cell subsets. We analyzed human psoriasis lesional skin 6 mm punch biopsy tissues before and after systemic IL-17A blockade using the muti-genomics approach integrating immune cell-enriched scRNA-seq (n = 18), microarray (n = 61), and immunohistochemistry (n = 61) with repository normal control skin immune cell-enriched scRNA-seq (n = 10) and microarray (n = 8) data. For the T17 axis transcriptome, systemic IL-17A blockade depleted 100% of IL17A + T-cells and 95% of IL17F + T-cells in psoriasis skin. The expression of IL23A in DC subsets was also downregulated by IL-17A blockade. The expression of IL-17-driven inflammatory mediators (IL36G, S100A8, DEFB4A, and DEFB4B) in suprabasal keratinocytes was correlated with psoriasis severity and was downregulated by IL-17A blockade. For the regulatory DC transcriptome, the proportion of regulatory semimature DCs expressing regulatory DC markers of BDCA-3 (THBD) and DCIR (CLEC4A) was increased in posttreatment psoriasis lesional skin compared to pretreatment psoriasis lesional skin. In addition, IL-17A blockade induced higher expression of CD1C and CD14, which are markers of CD1c+ CD14+ dendritic cell (DC) subset that suppresses antigen-specific T-cell responses, in posttreatment regulatory semimature DCs compared to pretreatment regulatory semimature DCs. In conclusion, systemic IL-17A inhibition not only blocks the entire IL-23/T17 cell axis but also promotes regulatory gene expression in regulatory DCs in human psoriasis skin.

Project description:Expression data from LCH lesion subpopulations and healthy donors' peripheral blood specimens Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a myeloproliferative disorder that is characterized by the inflammatory lesions with pathogenic CD1a+CD207+ dendritic cells (DCs). BRAFV600E and other somatic activating MAPK gene mutations have been identified in differentiating bone marrow and blood myeloid cells, but the origin of the LCH lesion CD1a+CD207+DCs and mechanisms of lesion formation remain incompletely defined. In order to identify candidate LCH CD1a+CD207+DCs’ precursor populations, gene expression profiles of LCH lesion CD1a+CD207+DCs were first compared to established gene signatures from human myeloid cell subpopulations. Interestingly, the CD1c+ myeloid DC (mDC) gene signature was most enriched in the LCH CD1a+CD207+DC’ transcriptome. Additionally, the BRAFV600E allele was not only localized to CD1a+CD207-DCs and CD1a+CD207+DCs, but it was also identified in CD1c+mDCs in LCH lesions. Transcriptomes of CD1a+CD207-DCs were nearly indistinguishable from CD1a+CD207+DCs (both CD207low and CD207high subpopulations). Transcription profiles of LCH lesion CD1a+CD207+DCs and peripheral blood CD1c+mDCs from healthy donors were compared to identify potential LCH DC-specific biomarkers. HLADQB2 expression was significantly increased in LCH lesion CD1a+CD207+DCs compared to circulating CD1c+mDCs from healthy donors, and HLA-DQB2 antigen was identified on LCH lesion CD1a+CD207- and CD1a+CD207+DCs as well as on CD1c+(CD1a+CD207-) mDCs, but not in any other lesion myeloid subpopulations. Interestingly, HLADQB2 expression was specific to peripheral blood of patients with BRAFV600E+ peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and HLA-DQB2+CD1c+blood cells were highly enriched for the BRAFV600E in these patients. These data support a model where blood CD1c+mDCs with activated ERK migrate to lesion sites where they differentiate into pathogenic CD1a+CD207+ DCs.

Project description:Scalp psoriasis shows a variable clinical spectrum and in many cases poses a great therapeutic challenge. However, it remains unknown whether the immune response of scalp psoriasis differs from understood pathomechanisms of psoriasis on other skin areas. We sought to determine the cellular and mollecular phenotype of scalp psoriasis by performing a comparative analysis of scalp vs skin using lesional and nonlesional samples from 20 Caucasian subjects with untreated moderate to severe psoriasis and significant scalp involvement, and 10 control subjects without psoriasis. Our results suggest that even in the scalp psoriasis is a disease of the inter-follicular skin. The immune mechanisms that mediate scalp psoriasis were found to be similar to those involved in skin psoriasis. However, the magnitude of dysregulation, number of differentially expressed genes, and enrichment of the psoriatic genomic fingerprinting were more prominent in skin lesions. Furthermore, the scalp transcriptome showed increased modulation of several gene-sets, particularly those induced by interferon-gamma, compared with skin psoriasis which was mainly associated with activation of TNFâµ/L-17/IL-22-induced keratinocyte response genes. We also detected differences in expression of gene-sets involving negative regulation, epigenetic regulation, epidermal differentiation, and dendritic cell or Th1/Th17/Th22-related T-cell processes. To define the transcriptomic profile of scalp skin, punch biopsies (6 mm diameter) were obtained from 20 Caucasian patients with untreated moderate to severe psoriasis with significative scalp involvement and 10 control subjects without psoriasis (N). Lesional (LS) samples were isolated from the infiltrated border of a plaque of psoriasis. Non lesional (NL) samples were taken from scalp areas with no visible psoriasis between the infiltrated plaques.
