A systems approach to renal inflammation in SLE.

ABSTRACT: Lupus disease and its complications including lupus nephritis (LN) are very disabling and significantly impact the quality of life and longevity of patients. Broadly immunosuppressive treatments do not always provide the expected clinical benefits and have significant side effects that contribute to patient morbidity. In the era of systems biology, new strategies are being deployed integrating diverse sources of information (molecular and clinical) so as to identify individual disease specificities and select less aggressive treatments. In this review, we summarize integrative approaches linking molecular disease profiles (mainly tissue transcriptomics) and clinical phenotypes. The main goals are to better understand the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis, to identify the risk factors for renal flare and to find the predictors of both short and long-term clinical outcome. Identification of common key drivers and additional patient-specific key drivers can open the door to improved and individualized therapy to prevent and treat LN.

Autoantibody-dependent amplification of inflammation in SLE.

Project description:Anti-double stranded DNA antibodies (anti-dsDNA) are a hallmark of SLE but their role in disease pathogenesis is not fully resolved. Anti-dsDNA in serum are highly heterogeneous therefore in this study, we aimed to dissect the functional specificities of anti-dsDNA using a panel of human monoclonal antibodies (humAbs) generated from patients with active lupus nephritis. A total of 46 ANA reactive humAbs were isolated and divided into four broad classes based on their reactivity to histones, DNA and Crithidia. Functional analysis indicated that one subclass of antibodies bound strongly to decondensed DNA areas in neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and protected NETs from nuclease digestion, similar to the sera from active SLE patients. In addition, these anti-dsDNA antibodies could stimulate type I interferon responses in mononuclear phagocytic cells, or NF-kB activity in endothelial cells, by uptake of NETs-anti-NETs immune complexes and subsequently trigging inflammatory responses in an Fc-gamma receptor (Fcg-R)-dependant manner. Together our data suggest that only a subset of anti-dsDNA antibodies is capable to amplify inflammatory responses by deposit in the nephritic kidney in vivo, protecting NETs digestion as well as uptake of NETs immune complexes into Fcg-R-expressing cells in vitro.

A Stringent Systems Approach Uncovers Gene-Specific Mechanisms Regulating Inflammation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Much has been learned about transcriptional cascades and networks from large-scale systems analyses of high-throughput data sets. However, analysis methods that optimize statistical power through simultaneous evaluation of thousands of ChIP-seq peaks or differentially expressed genes possess substantial limitations in their ability to uncover mechanistic principles of transcriptional control. By examining nascent transcript RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and binding motif data sets from lipid A-stimulated macrophages with increased attention to the quantitative distribution of signals, we identified unexpected relationships between the in vivo binding properties of inducible transcription factors, motif strength, and transcription. Furthermore, rather than emphasizing common features of large clusters of co-regulated genes, our results highlight the extent to which unique mechanisms regulate individual genes with key biological functions. Our findings demonstrate the mechanistic value of stringent interrogation of well- defined sets of genes as a complement to broader systems analyses of transcriptional cascades and networks. Bone marrow-derived macrophages were stimulated with lipid A for 0, 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes. Chromatin was immunoprecipitated with antibodies against RelA, SRF, or IRF3.

Bone marrow-derived macrophages derived from C57Bl/6, Myd88-/-, Trif-/-, Irf3-/-, Ifnar-/-, and RelA-/- mice were stimulated with lipid A; C57Bl/6 macrophages were stimulated with lipid A in the presence of MAPK inhibitors or cycloheximide, or stimulated with PAM3CSK4 for 0, 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes, or stimulated with lipid A for 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 minutes. Two biological replicates were generated for each time point for each treatment type.
