Inherited BCL10 deficiency impairs hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic immunity.

ABSTRACT: Heterotrimers composed of B cell CLL/lymphoma 10 (BCL10), mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1), and caspase recruitment domain-containing (CARD) family adaptors play a role in NF-κB activation and have been shown to be involved in both the innate and the adaptive arms of immunity in murine models. Moreover, individuals with inherited defects of MALT1, CARD9, and CARD11 present with immunological and clinical phenotypes. Here, we characterized a case of autosomal-recessive, complete BCL10 deficiency in a child with a broad immunodeficiency, including defects of both hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic immunity. The patient died at 3 years of age and was homozygous for a loss-of-expression, loss-of-function BCL10 mutation. The effect of BCL10 deficiency was dependent on the signaling pathway, and, for some pathways, the cell type affected. Despite the noted similarities to BCL10 deficiency in mice, including a deficient adaptive immune response, human BCL10 deficiency in this patient resulted in a number of specific features within cell populations. Treatment of the patient's myeloid cells with a variety of pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecules (PAMPs) elicited a normal response; however, NF-κB-mediated fibroblast functions were dramatically impaired. The results of this study indicate that inherited BCL10 deficiency should be considered in patients with combined immunodeficiency with B cell, T cell, and fibroblast defects.

Fancb deficiency impairs hematopoietic stem cell function.

Project description:Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder characterized by bone marrow failure, variable congenital malformations and a predisposition to malignancies. FANCB (also known as FAAP95), is the only X-linked FA gene discovered thus far. In the present study, we investigated hematopoiesis in adult Fancb deficient (Fancb(-/y)) mice and found that Fancb(-/y) mice have decreased hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) quiescence accompanied by reduced progenitor activity in vitro and reduced repopulating capacity in vivo. Like other FA mouse models previously reported, the hematopoietic system of Fancb(-/y) mice is hypersensitive to DNA cross-linking agent mitomycin C (MMC), which induces bone marrow failure in Fancb(-/y) mice. Furthermore, Fancb(-/y) BM exhibits slower recovery kinetics and less tolerance to myelotoxic stress induced by 5-fluorouracil than wild-type littermates. RNA-seq analysis reveals altered expression of genes involved in HSC function and cell cycle regulation in Fancb(-/y) HSC and progenitor cells. Thus, this Fancb(-/y) mouse model provides a novel approach for studying the critical role of the FA pathway not only in germ cell development but also in the maintenance of HSC function.

Inherited CD19 deficiency impairs signaling in plasma cells

Project description:Background: The human CD19 antigen is expressed throughout B cell ontogeny with the exception of neoplastic plasma cells and a subset of normal plasma cells. CD19 plays a role in propagating signals from the B cell receptor and other receptors such as CXCR4 in mature B cells. Studies of CD19-deficient patients have confirmed its function during the initial stages of B cell activation, however its role in the later stages of B cell differentiation is unclear. Objective: Using B cells from a newly identified CD19-deficient individual, we investigated the role of CD19 in the generation and function of plasma cells using an in vitro differentiation model.

Inherited human IRAK-1 deficiency selectively impairs TLR signaling in fibroblasts.

Project description:Most members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) families transduce signals via a canonical pathway involving the MyD88 adapter and the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) complex. This complex contains four molecules, including at least two (IRAK-1 and IRAK-4) active kinases. In mice and humans, deficiencies of IRAK-4 or MyD88 abolish most TLR (except for TLR3 and some TLR4) and IL-1R signaling in both leukocytes and fibroblasts. TLR and IL-1R responses are weak but not abolished in mice lacking IRAK-1, whereas the role of IRAK-1 in humans remains unclear. We describe here a boy with X-linked MECP2 deficiency-related syndrome due to a large de novo Xq28 chromosomal deletion encompassing both MECP2 and IRAK1 Like many boys with MECP2 null mutations, this child died very early, at the age of 7 mo. Unlike most IRAK-4- or MyD88-deficient patients, he did not suffer from invasive bacterial diseases during his short life. The IRAK-1 protein was completely absent from the patient's fibroblasts, which responded very poorly to all TLR2/6 (PAM2CSK4, LTA, FSL-1), TLR1/2 (PAM3CSK4), and TLR4 (LPS, MPLA) agonists tested but had almost unimpaired responses to IL-1?. By contrast, the patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells responded normally to all TLR1/2, TLR2/6, TLR4, TLR7, and TLR8 (R848) agonists tested, and to IL-1?. The death of this child precluded long-term evaluations of the clinical consequences of inherited IRAK-1 deficiency. However, these findings suggest that human IRAK-1 is essential downstream from TLRs but not IL-1Rs in fibroblasts, whereas it plays a redundant role downstream from both TLRs and IL-1Rs in leukocytes.

Vitamin A deficiency impairs vaccine-elicited gastrointestinal immunity.

Project description:Vitamin A deficiency is highly prevalent in much of the developing world, where vaccination programs are of paramount importance to public health. However, the impact of vitamin A deficiency on the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of vaccines has not been defined previously. In this article, we show that the vitamin A metabolite retinoic acid is critical for trafficking of vaccine-elicited T lymphocytes to the gastrointestinal mucosa and for vaccine protective efficacy in mice. Moderate vitamin A deficiency abrogated Ag-specific T lymphocyte trafficking to the gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal cellular immune responses, and protection against a mucosal challenge following immunization with a recombinant adenovirus vaccine vector. Oral vitamin A supplementation as well as retinoic acid administration fully restored the mucosal immune responses and vaccine protective efficacy. These data suggest that oral vitamin A supplementation may be important for optimizing the success of vaccines against HIV-1 and other mucosal pathogens in the developing world, highlighting a critical relationship between host nutritional status and vaccine efficacy.

Helper T cell immunity in humans with inherited CD4 deficiency.

Project description:CD4+ T cells are vital for host defense and immune regulation. However, the fundamental role of CD4 itself remains enigmatic. We report seven patients aged 5-61 years from five families of four ancestries with autosomal recessive CD4 deficiency and a range of infections, including recalcitrant warts and Whipple's disease. All patients are homozygous for rare deleterious CD4 variants impacting expression of the canonical CD4 isoform. A shorter expressed isoform that interacts with LCK, but not HLA class II, is affected by only one variant. All patients lack CD4+ T cells and have increased numbers of TCRαβ+CD4-CD8- T cells, which phenotypically and transcriptionally resemble conventional Th cells. Finally, patient CD4-CD8- αβ T cells exhibit intact responses to HLA class II-restricted antigens and promote B cell differentiation in vitro. Thus, compensatory development of Th cells enables patients with inherited CD4 deficiency to acquire effective cellular and humoral immunity against an unexpectedly large range of pathogens. Nevertheless, CD4 is indispensable for protective immunity against at least human papillomaviruses and Trophyrema whipplei.

Inherited human c-REL deficiency disrupts adaptive immunity

Project description:Various inborn errors of the canonical NF-kB pathway underlie different forms of human immunodeficiency. However, no patients with autosomal recessive complete deficiencies of RelA, c-REL, or NF-kB1, the three core members of the canonical NF-kB pathway, have yet been identified. We report a child homozygous for a loss-of-expression mutation of REL, encoding c-REL, which is expressed principally in myeloid and lymphoid cells. The distribution of myeloid subsets is normal in this patient, but in vitro-derived monocytes and cDC1s, unlike cDC2s, have impaired IL-12 and IL-23 production. The patient has low frequencies of memory CD4+ T cells, Th1*, Th2, Tregs, and almost no memory B cells. The frequencies of the other lymphoid subsets are normal. The patient’s naïve and memory CD4+ T cells produce only small amounts of IL-2, and the addition of this interleukin rescues their proliferation in response to mitogens, but not to antigens, in vitro. However, we found that HLA-syngeneic control cDCs rescued the proliferation of these cells in response to recall antigens. The production of key effector cytokines, such as IL-4, IL-17A, and IFNg, by memory CD4+ T cells was also highly impaired ex vivo, as was the differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells into Th1 and Th17 cells in vitro. Both the survival and proliferation of the patient’s naïve B cells were found to be compromised, preventing B-cell differentiation into immunoglobulin (Ig)-secreting plasmablasts in vitro. As a consequence of this pleiotropic effect, this child suffered from severe viral, mycobacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, while IgG substitution treatment prevented pyogenic infections. The immunological and infectious phenotypes were of hematopoietic origin, as they were cured by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Inherited human c-REL deficiency impairs multiple core functions of DCs, T cells, and B cells, thereby disrupting adaptive immunity to multiple infections.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency impairs lung antibacterial immunity in mice.

Project description:Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a major inhibitor of serine proteases in mammals. Therefore, its deficiency leads to protease-antiprotease imbalance and a risk for developing lung emphysema. Although therapy with human plasma-purified AAT attenuates AAT deficiency-related emphysema, its impact on lung antibacterial immunity is poorly defined. Here, we examined the effect of AAT therapy on lung protective immunity in AAT-deficient (KO) mice challenged with Streptococcus pneumoniae. AAT-KO mice were highly susceptible to S. pneumoniae, as determined by severe lobar pneumonia and early mortality. Mechanistically, we found that neutrophil-derived elastase (NE) degraded the opsonophagocytically important collectins, surfactant protein A (SP-A) and D (SP-D), which was accompanied by significantly impaired lung bacterial clearance in S. pneumoniae-infected AAT-KO mice. Treatment of S. pneumoniae-infected AAT-KO mice with human AAT protected SP-A and SP-D from NE-mediated degradation and corrected the pulmonary pathology observed in these mice. Likewise, treatment with Sivelestat, a specific inhibitor of NE, also protected collectins from degradation and significantly decreased bacterial loads in S. pneumoniae-infected AAT-KO mice. Our findings show that NE is responsible for the degradation of lung SP-A and SP-D in AAT-KO mice affecting lung protective immunity in AAT deficiency.

Deficiency of eIF4B Increases Mouse Mortality and Impairs Antiviral Immunity.

Project description:Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4B (eIF4B) plays an important role in mRNA translation initiation, cell survival and proliferation in vitro. However, its function in vivo is poorly understood. Here, we identified that eIF4B knockout (KO) in mice led to embryonic lethality, and the embryos displayed severe liver damage. Conditional KO (CKO) of eIF4B in adulthood profoundly increased the mortality of mice, characterized by severe pathological changes in several organs and reduced number of peripheral blood lymphocytes. Strikingly, eIF4B CKO mice were highly susceptible to viral infection with severe pulmonary inflammation. Selective deletion of eIF4B in lung epithelium also markedly promoted replication of influenza A virus (IAV) in the lung of infected animals. Furthermore, we observed that eIF4B deficiency significantly enhanced the expression of several important inflammation-associated factors and chemokines, including serum amyloid A1 (Saa1), Marco, Cxcr1, Ccl6, Ccl8, Ccl20, Cxcl2, Cxcl17 that are implicated in recruitment and activation of neutrophiles and macrophages. Moreover, the eIF4B-deficient mice exhibited impaired natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity during the IAV infection. Collectively, the results reveal that eIF4B is essential for mouse survival and host antiviral responses, and establish previously uncharacterized roles for eIF4B in regulating normal animal development and antiviral immunity in vivo.
