A subset of patients with autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and lupus appear to be exposed continually to interferon (IFN) as evidenced by elevated expression of IFN induced genes in blood cells. In lupus, detection of endogenous chromatin complexes by the innate sensing machinery is the suspected driver for the IFN, but the actual mechanisms remain unknown in all of these diseases. We investigated in two randomized clinical trials the effects on RA patients of baminercept, ...[more]

Project description:A major unmet need in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the choice of treatment options for patients with an inadequate response to anti-TNF agents (anti-TNF–IR). In order to identify pharmacodynamic biomarkers and assess differential effects of TNF- and non–TNF-targeting agents on RA patients with an inadequate response to anti-TNF–IR in comparison with biologic-naïve patients, peripheral protein markers and gene expression levels in association with clinical response posttreatment in two disease strata were assessed in disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)-IR and anti-TNF-IR patients. Serum proteomics results indicated the existence of specific pharmacodynamic markers for golimumab and mavrilimumab, regardless of prior anti-TNF treatment. In contrast, both antibodies induced early and sustained suppression of RA disease markers, including IL-6, CRP, IL2RA, and MMP1, in DMARD-IR patients. Golimumab-induced early changes rapidly returned toward baseline concentrations in anti-TNF–IR patients, whereas mavrilimumab-induced changes were maintained through Day 169. RNA sequencing demonstrated gene expression changes at Day 169 after administration of mavrilimumab but not golimumab in anti-TNF–IR patients. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic curve and regression analysis showed the association of early IL-6 change and subsequent clinical responses to golimumab in anti-TNF-IR patients. Our results revealed golimumab- and mavrilimumab-specific pharmacodynamic biomarkers, and demonstrated differential biomarker-treatment relationships in anti-TNF–IR and DMARD-IR patients respectively. Early IL-6 change after anti-TNF antibody treatment may be a potential predictive biomarker for selection of different treatment regimens in anti-TNF-IR patients.

Project description:The purpose of this study was (1) to identify novel genes involved in the pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) disease, which may provide additional targets for therapeutic intervention and (2) to examine the molecular mechanisms associated with the response to anti-TNF treatment. Microarray analysis of LPS-stimulated whole blood from RA patients pre and post anti-TNF treatment was conducted. This study identified 818 transcripts, differentially expressed in RA patients pre-treatment compared to non-RA control samples. While a number of these genes were associated with RA in previous studies, validating our data, a number of novel genes with possible functions in RA disease were also identified. The number of transcripts (1051) significantly altered post anti-TNF treatment indicates the impact of anti-TNF therapy on systemic gene expression. A number of these transcripts were confirmed to be altered in a larger patient group and may represent potential genetic markers of a patient’s clinical response to anti-TNF treatment.

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic and heterogeneous autoimmune disease for which its treatment and phosphorylation-dependent regulatory mechanism remain elusive. Here, we aim to explore the molecular mechanism of phosphorylation regulation for SLE. We employed high-throughput Phosphoproteomics of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 126 patients with SLE remission stage (SLE_S), 70 patients with SLE active stage (SLE_A), 160 patients with RA, and 135 healthy controls (HC). An independent cohort that included 60 SLE_S, 35 SLE_A, 50 RA and 40 HC was used to validate the phosphosites via parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). We revealed upregulated pathways involved in cell adhesion and migration in patients with SLE (SLE_S and SLE_A) compared with HCs and RA. Expression pattern clustering analysis revealed several specifically upregulated phosphosites, and the leukocyte transendothelial migration was specifically enriched in SLE_A. We predicted several key kinases including MAP3Ks, MAP2Ks, IKKB and TBK1, and found that upregulated kinase activity is associated with increased phosphorylation of VCL, TLN1 and VAPB by kinases-substrate network analysis. These phosphorylated proteins also regulate the pathways related to cell adhesion and migration, and which have not been implicated in previous studies of SLE. Moreover, we validated these phosphosites with the same trend as 4D-LFQ data, including LCP1 S5, TLN1 S1201, TLN1 S1225, VCL S275 and VCL S579. In summary, the present study elucidates the changes of phosphosites, kinases and pathways in SLE, and may provide potentially novel targets for further mechanism exploration.

Project description:SLE patients are always with various disease manifestation. Various cytokines are pointed interacting and playing pathological roles in SLE although the etiopathology is still obscure. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of cytokine interactions in the immune response of SLE patients. Overexpressed interferon-inducible(IFI) genes were confirmed in peripheral blood from SLE patients. Using network-based analysis on the immune response-related genes, several networks including cytokines such as TNF and IFN-γ, or beta-estradiol(E2), were constructed. TNF-regulated genes were dominant in these networks but in vitro TNF stimulation on PBMCs showed no different responses in the expressions of these genes between SLE and healthy individuals. Co-stimulating experiments by TNF, IFN-γ, and E2 with IFN-α, revealed that TNF has repressive while IFN-γ essentially has synergistic effect with IFN-α on IFI gene expressions in vitro. E2 showed different effects on IFI gene expressions among 3 individuals. Peripheral blood was obtained from patients with SLE (n=11) and healthy women (n=6). Gene expression profile was analyzed using DNA microarray covering 30,000 human genes. Differentially expressed immune response-related genes were selected and analyzed by using Expression Analysis Systemic Explorer (EASE) based on Gene Ontology (GO) followed by network pathway analysis with Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA).

Project description:Many cytokines are involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and are recognized as relevant therapeutic targets to attenuate inflammation, such as TNFα in RA and IFNα/γ in SLE. To relate the transcriptional imprinting of cytokines in a cell type-specific and disease-specific manner, we generated gene-expression profiles from peripheral monocytes of SLE and RA patients and compared them to in vitro-generated signatures induced by TNFα, IFNα2a and IFNγ. Monocytes from SLE and RA patients revealed disease-specific gene-expression profiles. In vitro-generated signatures induced by IFNα2a and IFNγ showed similar profiles that only partially overlapped with those induced by TNFα. Comparisons between disease-specific and in vitro-generated signatures identified cytokine-regulated genes in SLE and RA with qualitative and quantitative differences. The IFN-responses in SLE and RA were found to be regulated in a STAT1-dependent and STAT1-independent manner, respectively. Similarly, genes recognized as TNFα-regulated were clearly distinguishable between RA and SLE patients. While the activity of SLE monocytes was mainly driven by IFN, the activity from RA monocytes showed a dominance of TNFα that was characterized by STAT1 down-regulation. The responses to specific cytokines were revealed to be disease-dependent and reflected the interplay of cytokines within various inflammatory milieus. This study has demonstrated that monocytes from RA and SLE patients exhibit disease-specific gene-expression profiles, which can be molecularly dissected when compared to in vitro-generated cytokine signatures. The results suggest that an assessment of cytokine-response status in monocytes may be helpful for improvement of diagnosis and selection of the best cytokine target for therapeutic intervention. Expression profiles of human peripheral blood monocytes activated in vivo and stimulated in vitro. Monocytes from patients with SLE and RA and from healthy donors were used for generating disease-specific gene-expression profiles, where these profiles represent in vivo activation of monocytes. In addition, monocytes from healthy donors were stimulated in vitro by cytokines: TNFα, IFNα2a and IFNγ. Cytokine-specific gene-expression profiles were generated by comparing stimulated monocytes with unstimulated ones. TNFα-, IFNα2a- and IFNγ as cytokine-specific gene-expression profiles were compared with RA and SLE, as disease-specific gene-expression profiles.

A number of these transcripts were confirmed to be altered in a larger patient group and may represent potential genetic markers of a patientâs clinical response to anti-TNF treatment. Experiment Overall Design: Transcriptome profiling was performed on two RA patients, pre- and three months post-Enbrel therapy and two matched non-RA controls. The whole blood model described by Wang et al (2000) was used with minor modifications. Briefly, to EDTA anti-coagulated blood, LPS (30ng/ml) was added immediately after drawing, and incubated at 37oC for 4 hours, mixing at 80s. After 4 hours red blood cells were lysed and pelleted, white cells were washed once in PBS (Gibco) and frozen at â70oC for subsequent RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy kit (QIAGEN) as per manufacturerâs instructions. Samples were treated with DNA-Free (Ambion) to remove genomic DNA and checked using intron-overlapping primers prior to generating cRNA probes or cDNA (data not shown). Affymetrix array data was normalised (globally) and statistically (t-test) analysed using GeneSight software (Biodiscovery). Gene expression changes with a p value of < 0.05 and a fold change of 3 or greater were considered differentially expressed.
