Project description:Schnitzler’s syndrome (SchS) is a disabling autoinflammatory disorder, characterized by chronic urticaria a chronic urticarial rash, an M-protein, arthralgia, and other signs of systemic inflammation. Anti-interleukin-1 (IL-1) beta antibodies are highly effective, but the pathophysiology is still largely unknown. Here we studied the effect of in-vivo IL-1 inhibition on serum markers of inflammation and cellular immune responses.

Project description:Early onset urticarial rash with systemic inflammatory symptoms are hallmarks of hereditary autoinflammatory diseases caused by gene mutations of the innate immune pathway, e.g. nucleotide receptor protein 3 (NLRP3). However, in many cases genetic tests are negative, suggesting the existence of unrecognized genetic variants. Here, we report a four-generation family with cold-induced urticarial rash, arthralgia, chills, headache and malaise associated with an autosomal-dominant inheritance. Genetic studies identified a novel substitution mutation in gene F12 (T859A, resulting in p.W268R) which encodes coagulation factor XII (FXII). Occurrence of the mutation segregated with disease status. Functional studies revealed fragmentation and spontaneous activation of FXII in patient plasma and supernatant of HEK293 cells transfected with recombinant W268R-mutated proteins. Furthermore, we observed contact system activation with reduced plasma prekallikrein and profound cleavage of high molecular weight kininogen, representing bradykinin production. As a local source of FXII, skin and blood neutrophils were identified. Interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) was upregulated in lesional skin and in mononuclear donor cells exposed to recombinant mutant proteins. In accordance with these findings, treatment with icatibant (bradykinin-B2-antagonist) or anakinra (interleukin-1-antagonist) reduced disease activity in patients. Thus, we identified anovel autoinflammatory syndrome characterized by a substitution in the F12 gene resulting in activation of the contact system and cytokine-mediated inflammation.

Project description:Inflammasomes are intracellular innate immune sensors that respond to pathogen and damage-associated signals with the proteolytic cleavage of caspase-1, resulting in IL-1_ and IL-18 secretion and macrophage pyroptosis. The discovery that heterozygous gain-of-function mutations in NLRP3 lead to oversecretion of IL-1_ and cause the autoinflammatory disease spectrum Cryopyrin Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS), led to the successful use of IL-1 blocking therapies1. We found that a de novo missense mutation in the regulatory domain of the NLRC4 (IPAF, CARD12) inflammasome causes early-onset recurrent fever flares and Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS). Functional analyses demonstrated spontaneous production of the inflammasome-dependent cytokines IL-1² and IL-18 exceeding levels in CAPS patients. The NLRC4 mutation led to constitutive caspase-1 cleavage in transduced cells and enhanced spontaneous production of IL-18 by both patient and NLRC4 mutant macrophages. Thus, we describe a novel monoallelic inflammasome defect that expands the autoinflammatory paradigm to include MAS and suggests novel targets for therapy. Whole blood RNA-seq from seven timepoints of one patient with NLRC4-MAS as compared to five healthy pediatric controls, 7 NOMID patients with active disease prior to anakinra treatment and the same 7 NOMID patients with inactive disease after anakinra treatment. Please note that seven time points are chronologic time point. They are ordinal, in that "1" was drawn before "2", but the distance in time between points is not constant. Thus, time points 4 through 7 correspond to samples drawn while the patient was well AND on treatment. However there may be differences between 4 and 7 pertaining to the length of treatment, and for that reason any of these samples were not considered replicates.

Project description:Inflammatory factors that activate NFkB play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) but are not addressed specifically by current therapies. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a master-regulator of inflammation that is inhibited safely in humans by the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra. Anakinra (K) was found to inhibit NFkB activity in CLL cells in an IL-1 receptor independent manner and had properties of an intracellular anti-oxidant in vitro.

Project description:Canakinumab is a human anti-interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) monoclonal antibody neutralizing IL-1 beta. Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) is a rare, multigenic, autoinflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by chronic arthritis; intermittent high-spiking fever, rash, and elevated levels of acute-phase reactants. Blood samples of SJIA patients were obtained from two phase 3 clinical trials conducted by the members of the Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization (PRINTO) and the Pediatric Rheumatology Collaborative Study Group (PRCSG) (Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT00886769 and NCT00889863). For patients, baseline and day 3 samples were analyzed for either placebo or canakinumab (Ilaris) treatment. Clinical response was assessed at day 15 using adapted JIA American College of Rheumatology (ACR) response criteria. Overall, 206 samples were used in this study including 22 samples from healthy controls, 33 samples of placebo treated patients and 151 samples of canakinumab treated patients.

Project description:Constitutively active RAS plays a central role in the development of skin cancer in the classical two stage skin carcinogenesis in mice and in a number of human cancers. Ras-mediated tumor formation is commonly associated with upregulation of cytokines and chemokines that mediate an inflammatory response considered relevant to oncogenesis. MyD88 is a crucial intermediate in the expression of multiple innate immune responders through signaling from the Toll-like/IL-1R family. We report that mice ablated for MyD88 or the IL-1R are resistant to topical skin carcinogenesis, and cultured MyD88-/- keratinocytes transduced with an oncogenic ras vector form only a few small tumors in orthotopic grafts. Initiated keratinocytes arising from oncogenic activation of ras are hyperproliferative but also resist signals for induced differentiation and upregulate a host of pro-inflammatory genes. Ras-transduced MyD88-/- keratinocytes are also hyperproliferative but the differentiation response is intact and pro-inflammatory genes are not upregulated. Using both genetic and pharmacological approaches, we find that in keratinocytes, the differentiation and immune regulation functions mediated by oncogenic ras require the establishment of an autocrine loop through IL-1α and its receptor leading to NF-κB activation. In the absence of MyD88 or IL-1R, this loop cannot be established. Further, blocking the IL-1a mediated NF-κB activation in ras-transduced wildtype keratinocytes corrects the defect in both differentiation response and proinflammatory gene expression. Collectively, these results demonstrate that ras activation converts normal keratinocytes to an initiated phenotype through a series of potentially reversible feedback signals that provide therapeutic opportunities through inhibition of IL-1 signaling. Gene expression comparison of wild type ras-transformed keratinocytes untreated (n=3) or treated (n=3) in vitro with the IL1R antagonist Anakinra.

Project description:Various studies showed a significant production/release of IL-1 beta following status epilepticus (SE) and during epileptogenesis. We studied the role of this cytokine in the epileptogenic process by blocking its production and downstream effects in vivo in a model of acquired epilepsy following SE induction. We used a pharmacological strategy consisting of the administration of two drugs, namely VX-765 and Anakinra, which selectively block the biosynthesis and the receptor type 1 of this cytokine, respectively.

Project description:The autoinflammatory disorder, Neonatal-onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID) is the most severe phenotype of disorders caused by mutations in the CIAS1 gene that result in increased production and secretion of active IL-1≤. NOMID patients present with systemic and organ-specific inflammation of the skin, central nervous system and bony growth plates, and respond dramatically to treatment with IL-1 blocking agents. We compared the cellular infiltrates and transcriptome of skin biopsies from patients with NOMID (n=14) before treatment [lesional (LS) and non-lesional (pre-NL) skin] and after treatment (post-NL) with the IL-1 blocker anakinra (recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist, Kineret®), to normal skin (n=5). Abundant neutrophils distinguish LS skin from pre-NL and post-NL skin. CD11c+ dermal dendritic cells and CD163+ macrophages expressed activated caspase-1 and are the likely sources of cutaneous IL-1 production. Treatment with anakinra led to the disappearance of neutrophils, but CD3+ T cells and HLA-DR+ cells remained elevated. Among the upregulated genes IL-6, IL-8, TNF, IL-17A, CCL20, and the neutrophil defensins DEFA1 and DEFA3 were differentially regulated in LS tissues (compared to normal skin). Important significantly downregulated pathways included IL-1R/TLR signaling, type I and II cytokine receptor signaling, mitochondrial dysfunction, and antigen presentation. Differential expression and regulation of microRNAs and pathways involved in post-transcriptional modification are indicative of epigenetic modification in the various tissue states. Overall, the dysregulated genes and pathways suggest extensive “adaptive” mechanisms to control inflammation, and maintain tissue homeostasis in the skin of patients with NOMID. To determine the transcsriptome of skin samples in Neonatal-onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID), using pre-treatment non-lesional (pre-NL, n=4); lesional (LS, n=6); post-treatment non-lesional (post-NL, n=8), and normal skin (n=5).

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a master-regulator of inflammation that is inhibited safely in humans by the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra. Anakinra was found to inhibit NFkB activity in CLL cells in an IL-1 receptor independent manner and had properties of an intracellular anti-oxidant in vitro. A phase I dose-escalation trial in 11 previously untreated CLL patients (NCT04691765) indicated anakinra was safe at doses up to 400 mg daily and produced transient clinical responses associated with down-regulation of NFkB and oxidative stress in circulating CLL cells in vivo. However, type 1 interferon (IFN)-signaling and c-MYC-regulated genes and proteins were induced at the same time.
