Context-specific regulation of monocyte surface IL7R expression and soluble receptor secretion by a common autoimmune risk allele


ABSTRACT: IL-7 is a key factor in T-cell immunity and IL7R polymorphisms are implicated in autoimmune pathogenesis. IL7R mRNA is induced in stimulated monocytes in a genetically determined manner. Here we show monocyte surface and soluble IL7R (sIL7R) protein are markedly expressed in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Flow cytometry of synovial fluid-derived monocytes from patients with spondyloarthritis showed an enlarged subset of IL7R+ monocytes. Single-cell RNA sequencing of ex-vivo derived monocytes from the synovial fluid and blood of patients revealed that IL7R+ monocytes at the inflammatory site have a unique transcriptional profile that markedly overlaps that induced by IL-7 in-vitro and shows similarity to the previously described ‘Mono4’ subset. These data demonstrate disease-associated genetic variants at IL7R specifically impact monocyte surface IL7R and sIL7R following innate immune stimulation, suggesting a previously unappreciated key role for monocytes in IL-7 pathway biology and IL7R-associated diseases.

IL-7 is a key factor in T cell immunity and common variants at IL7R, encoding its receptor, are associated with autoimmune disease susceptibility. IL7R mRNA is induced in stimulated monocytes, yet a function for IL7R in monocyte biology remains unexplored. Here we characterize genetic regulation of IL7R at the protein level in healthy individuals, and find that monocyte surface and soluble IL7R (sIL7R) are markedly induced by lipopolysaccharide. In monocytes, both surface IL7R and sIL7R expressi  ...[more]
