Project description:The hypothesis tested in this study was that chronic exposure of PBMCs to a hypertensive environment in remodeled pulmonary vessels would be reflected by specific transcriptional changes in these cells. The transcript profiles of PBMCs from 30 idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients (IPAH), 19 patients with systemic sclerosis without pulmonary hypertension (SSc), 42 scleroderma-associated PAH patients (SSc-PAH), and 8 patients with SSc complicated by interstitial lung disease and PH (SSC-PH-ILD) were compared to the gene expression profiles of PBMCs from 41 healthy individuals.

Project description:The goal of this study was to assess whether the presence of HLA-B*35 contributes to activation of ER stress/UPR and inflammation in lcSScPAH PBMC. HLA-B*35 is associated with increased risk of developing PAH in lcSSc patietns. Also we previously reported that HLA-B*35 induces ECs dysfunction via activation of ER stress/UPR and upregulation of the inflammatory response. Our study demonstrates that HLA-B*35 contributes to the dysregulated expression of selected ER stress, inflammation and proliferation related genes in lcSSc patient PBMCs, as well as healthy individuals, thus supporting a pathogenic role of HLA-B*35 as a risk factor for developing PAH in SSc patients.

Project description:Objective: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) control key elements of mRNA stability and likely contribute to the dysregulated lung gene expression observed in systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). We analyzed the miRNA gene expression of tissue and cells from SSc-ILD patients. A chronic lung fibrotic murine model was used. Methods: RNA was isolated from lung tissue of 12 SSc-ILD patients and 5 control lungs. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was performed at baseline and 2-3 years after treatment. Lung fibroblasts and PBMCs were isolated from healthy controls and SSc-ILD patients. miRNA and mRNA were analyzed by microarray, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and/or Nanostring; pathway analysis was performed by DIANA-miRPath v2.0 software. Wild-type and miR-155 deficient (miR-155ko) mice were exposed to bleomycin. Results: Lung miRNA microarray data distinguished patients with SSc-ILD from healthy controls with 185 miRNA differentially expressed (q<0.25). DIANA-miRPath revealed 57 KEGGs pathways related to the most dysregulated miRNAs. miR-155 and miR-143 were strongly correlated with progression of the HRCT score. Lung fibroblasts showed only mild expression of miR-155/miR-21 after several stimuli. miR-155 PBMC expression strongly correlated with lung function tests in SSc-ILD. miR-155ko mice developed milder lung fibrosis, survived longer, and showed a weaker lung induction of several genes after bleomycin exposure compared to wild-type mice. Conclusions: miRNAs are dysregulated in lungs and PBMCs of SSc-ILD patients. Based on mRNA-miRNA interaction analysis and pathway tools, miRNAs may play a role in the progression of the disease. Our findings suggest that targeting miR-155 might provide a novel therapeutic strategy for SSc-ILD. Lung biopsies taken from open lung biopsy from SSc-ILD patients (n=15 samples) and from cancer free control patients (n=5) during ressection of the lung tumor.

Gene expression is compared at a global level using total RNA from BPMC for pateints and controls using the Illumina microarray platform.

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an uncommon disease characterized by elevated autoantibody production, vasculopathy and fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. pDCs are the core cell type to produce type I IFN and contributes to the ISG signature and SSc progression. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we profiled 32529 pDCs enriched and T cell depleted peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 4 patients with SSc and 4 matched controls. Increased CD16+ monocytes and decreased cDCs are the major changes in the cell composition between SSc and heathy controls. Increased expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) and apoptotic genes distinguished cells from patients with SSc from healthy control cells. The high ISG expression signature (ISGhi) derived from a small number of transcriptionally defined subpopulations within major cell types, including monocytes, natural killer cells, conventional and plasmacytoid dendritic cells, B cells. Profiling of 10976 pDCs revealed a newly identified PTGDS+ population and a clear increased ISG hi clusters in SSc pDCs. Profiling of 13317 Monocytes revealed increased CD16+ Monocytes and a clear increased ISG hi clusters in SSc monocytes. We then compared the TLRs-IFN response of the pDCs from SSc and Healthy control. RNASeq revealed SSc pDCs enables an unexpected TLR8-IFN signaling to increase the IFN signature. This study lays the groundwork for resolving the origin of the SSc transcriptional signatures and the disease heterogeneity towards precision medicine applications.

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare but devastating disease of fibrosis impacting the dermis and multiple organ systems. The prevalence ranges from 4 to 489 cases per million individuals with ten year mortality rates reported around 18 percent. Survival is related to the extent of skin involvement, yet the precise mechanisms driving skin fibrosis in SSc remain unknown. In this study, we analyzed the shared and unique transcriptomic profiles of SSc and normal keratinocytes.
