Effects of TNF-alpha blocking in sorted Th17 cells from co-cultures of human CD4-positive and CD14-positive cells

ABSTRACT: Human CD4+ T cells and CD14+ monocytes from healthy donors were co-cultured with anti-CD3 for three days in the presence or absence of TNF-alpha mAb (Adalimumab). Classical Th17 cells (Th17) or those generated in the presence of the inhibitor (iTh17) were then sorted and analyzed by full transcriptome microarray analysis. A total of 18 samples consisting of paired samples from 9 healthy volunteers were compared. Sorted Th17 cells from co-cultures containing either Adalimumab (1 microgram/ml) or not were obtained from each of the donors, and compared by full transcriptome profiling.

Project description:Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) in western countries is characterized by eosinophilia, IgE production and Th2 cytokine expression. Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) from polyps produce IL-5 and IL-13 in response to IL-25 and IL-33 although the relevance of this axis to local mucosal T cell responses is unknown. Objective: To investigate the role of the IL-25/IL-33 axis in local mucosal T cell responses in CRSwNP. Methods: Polyp tissue and blood were obtained from patients undergoing nasal polypectomy. Control nasal biopsies and blood were obtained from healthy volunteers. Tissue was cultured in a short-term explant model. T cell surface phenotype/intracellular cytokines were assessed by flow cytometry. TCR VÎ² analysis was performed with the immunoSEQ assay. Microarrays were performed for gene expression analysis. Results: Using nasal polyp tissue, numerous IL-25 receptor (IL-17RB) positive polarized Th2 cells were identified which were absent in the healthy nasal mucosa and periphery. IL-17RB+CD4+ polyp Th2 cells co-expressed ST2 (IL-33 receptor) and responded to IL-25 and IL-33 with enhanced IL-5 and IL-13 production. Within IL-17RB+CD4+ T cells several identical TCR VÎ² CDR3 sequences were identified in different subjects suggesting clonal expansion driven by a common antigen. Abundant IL-17 producing T cells were observed in healthy nasal mucosal and polyp populations with Th17-related genes the most overexpressed compared to peripheral blood T cells. Conclusion: IL-25 and IL-33 may interact locally with IL-17RB+ST2+ polyp T cells to augment Th2 responses in CRSwNP. A local Th17 response may be the default signature in healthy nasal mucosal immune homeostasis. Three biological replicates. T-helper cells were isolated nasal polyps by explant culture from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Cells were then sorted based upon expression of IL17RB by flow cytometric sorting. Resting and activated IL-17RB+ve cells were compared with resting and activated IL-17RB-ve cells.
