Oral Tongue Malignancies in Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 1.

ABSTRACT: Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) or Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type-1 (APS-1) (APECED, OMIM 240300) is a rare, childhood onset, monogenic disease caused by mutations in the Autoimmune Regulator (AIRE) gene. The overall mortality is increased compared to the general population and a major cause of death includes malignant diseases, especially oral and esophageal cancers. We here present a case series of four APS-1 patients with oral tongue cancers, an entity not described in detail previously. Scrutiny of history and clinical phenotypes indicate that chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis and smoking are significant risk factors. Preventive measures and early diagnosis are important to successfully manage this potentially fatal disease.

Oral microbiota in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1.

Project description:Background: Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type-1 (APS-1) is a rare, childhood onset disease caused by mutations in the Autoimmune Regulator gene. The phenotypic expression is highly variable and includes disease manifestations in the oral cavity, including mucocutaneous candidiasis. Increasing evidence suggests a potential role of the skin, oral and gut microbiotas in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity. To date, no information exists regarding the oral microbiota in APS-1. Objective: To assess the bacterial microbiota of whole saliva in APS-1 patients by using high throughput sequencing. Design: Whole unstimulated saliva was collected from 10 APS-1 patients and 17 healthy controls and examined by high throughput sequencing of the hypervariable region V1-V2 of 16S rRNA using the 454 GS Junior system. Metastats (http://cbcb.umd.edu/software/metastats) was used to analyse the pyrosequencing reads. Results: A reduction in the total number of bacterial genera and species was detected in APS-1 compared to healthy controls. The proportion of the major phyla Firmicutes was higher (60% vs 41%, p = 0.002) and Bacteroidetes lower (15% vs 28%, p = 0.007) in APS-1 compared to healthy controls. On the genus level, Streptococcus and Gemella were prevalent in APS-1. Conclusion: Our findings indicate a significantly altered oral microbiota in APS-1.

Tregs in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type I

Project description:Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1) relies on failures both in central and peripheral tolerance. A decreased number of regulatory T cells (Tregs) is repeatedly reported, and Tregs based therapy could therefore be considered. We have used a single cell transcriptomic approach to characterize Tregs sorted from blood.

Pituitary autoantibodies in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1.

Project description:Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS1) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene. High titer autoantibodies (Aabs) toward intracellular enzymes are a hallmark for APS1 and serve as diagnostic markers and predictors for disease manifestations. In this study, we aimed to identify pituitary autoantigens in patients with APS1. A pituitary cDNA expression library was screened with APS1 sera and a tudor domain containing protein 6 (TDRD6) cDNA clone was isolated. Positive immunoreactivity against in vitro translated TDRD6 fragments was shown in 42/86 (49%) APS1 patients but not in patients with other autoimmune diseases or in healthy controls. By using immunohistochemistry, sera from 3/6 APS1 patients with growth hormone (GH) deficiency showed immunostaining of a small number of guinea pig anterior pituitary cells, and 40-50% of these cells were GH-positive. No such immunostaining was seen with sera from healthy controls. The APS1 Aab-positive, GH-negative cells may represent a novel subpopulation of anterior pituitary cells. In addition, 4/6 patient sera showed staining of a fiber-plexus in the pituitary intermediate lobe recognizing enzymes of monoamine and GABA synthesis. Thus, we have identified TDRD6 as a major autoantigen in APS1 patients and shown that several sera from GH-deficient patients stain specific cell populations and nerves in the pituitary gland.

A Longitudinal Follow-up of Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 1.

Project description:Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS1) is a childhood-onset monogenic disease defined by the presence of two of the three major components: hypoparathyroidism, primary adrenocortical insufficiency, and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC). Information on longitudinal follow-up of APS1 is sparse.To describe the phenotypes of APS1 and correlate the clinical features with autoantibody profiles and autoimmune regulator (AIRE) mutations during extended follow-up (1996-2016).All known Norwegian patients with APS1.Fifty-two patients from 34 families were identified. The majority presented with one of the major disease components during childhood. Enamel hypoplasia, hypoparathyroidism, and CMC were the most frequent components. With age, most patients presented three to five disease manifestations, although some had milder phenotypes diagnosed in adulthood. Fifteen of the patients died during follow-up (median age at death, 34 years) or were deceased siblings with a high probability of undisclosed APS1. All except three had interferon-?) autoantibodies, and all had organ-specific autoantibodies. The most common AIRE mutation was c.967_979del13, found in homozygosity in 15 patients. A mild phenotype was associated with the splice mutation c.879+1G>A. Primary adrenocortical insufficiency and type 1 diabetes were associated with protective human leucocyte antigen genotypes.Multiple presumable autoimmune manifestations, in particular hypoparathyroidism, CMC, and enamel hypoplasia, should prompt further diagnostic workup using autoantibody analyses (eg, interferon-?) and AIRE sequencing to reveal APS1, even in adults. Treatment is complicated, and mortality is high. Structured follow-up should be performed in a specialized center.

A novel AIRE mutation leads to autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type-1.

Project description:Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type-1 (APS-1) is a rare inherited monogenic autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of at least two of three following major clinical features: chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, hypoparathyroidism, and adrenal insufficiency. Mutations in autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene have been found to contribute to APS-1. In the present study, we reported a 36-years-old male APS-1 patient who presented with hypoparathyroidism and Addison's disease. The proband underwent complete clinical examinations and mutation screening was performed by Sanger sequencing on AIRE gene. A novel homozygous mutation in exon 9 of the AIRE gene (c.1024C>T) was identified. Based on sequencing findings, HEK293T cell-based assays were conducted to analyze the subcellular localization and mutant transcript processing. Our results revealed that p.Q342X mutant localized in nuclear speckles and exerted a dominant-negative effect on wildtype AIRE function. We reported the c.1024C>T mutation of AIRE gene for the first time, which enriched the AIRE mutation database and contributed to further understanding of APS-1.

Proteome-wide survey of the autoimmune target repertoire in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1.

Project description:Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS1) is a monogenic disorder that features multiple autoimmune disease manifestations. It is caused by mutations in the Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene, which promote thymic display of thousands of peripheral tissue antigens in a process critical for establishing central immune tolerance. We here used proteome arrays to perform a comprehensive study of autoimmune targets in APS1. Interrogation of established autoantigens revealed highly reliable detection of autoantibodies, and by exploring the full panel of more than 9000 proteins we further identified MAGEB2 and PDILT as novel major autoantigens in APS1. Our proteome-wide assessment revealed a marked enrichment for tissue-specific immune targets, mirroring AIRE's selectiveness for this category of genes. Our findings also suggest that only a very limited portion of the proteome becomes targeted by the immune system in APS1, which contrasts the broad defect of thymic presentation associated with AIRE-deficiency and raises novel questions what other factors are needed for break of tolerance.

Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 in an Indian cohort: a longitudinal study.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS1) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive organ-specific autoimmunity. There is scant information on APS1 in ethnic groups other than European Caucasians. We studied clinical aspects and autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene mutations in a cohort of Indian APS1 patients. DESIGN:Twenty-three patients (19 families) from six referral centres in India, diagnosed between 1996 and 2016, were followed for [median (range)] 4 (0.2-19) years. METHODS:Clinical features, mortality, organ-specific autoantibodies and AIRE gene mutations were studied. RESULTS:Patients varied widely in their age of presentation [3.5 (0.1-17) years] and number of clinical manifestations [5 (2-11)]. Despite genetic heterogeneity, the frequencies of the major APS1 components (mucocutaneous candidiasis: 96%; hypoparathyroidism: 91%; primary adrenal insufficiency: 55%) were similar to reports in European series. In contrast, primary hypothyroidism (23%) occurred more frequently and at an early age, while kerato-conjunctivitis, urticarial rash and autoimmune hepatitis were uncommon (9% each). Six (26%) patients died at a young age [5.8 (3-23) years] due to septicaemia, hepatic failure and adrenal/hypocalcaemic crisis from non-compliance/unexplained cause. Interferon-? and/or interleukin-22 antibodies were elevated in all 19 patients tested, including an asymptomatic infant. Eleven AIRE mutations were detected, the most common being p.C322fsX372 (haplotype frequency 37%). Four mutations were novel, while six others were previously described in European Caucasians. CONCLUSIONS:Indian APS1 patients exhibited considerable genetic heterogeneity and had highly variable clinical features. While the frequency of major manifestations was similar to that of European Caucasians, other features showed significant differences. A high mortality at a young age was observed.

Cytokine-specific autoantibodies shape the gut microbiome in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1.

Project description:BackgroundGastrointestinal dysfunction is a frequent and disabling manifestation of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1), a rare monogenic multiorgan autoimmune disease caused by the loss of central AIRE-controlled immune tolerance.ObjectivesThis study aimed to understand the role of the gut microbiome in APS-1 symptoms and potentially alleviate common gastrointestinal symptoms by probiotic intervention.MethodsThis study characterized the fecal microbiomes of 28 patients with APS-1 and searched for associations with gastrointestinal symptoms, circulating anti-cytokine autoantibodies, and tryptophan-related metabolites. Additionally, daily doses of the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG were administered for 3 months.ResultsOf 581 metagenomic operational taxonomic units (mOTUs) characterized in total, 14 were significantly associated with patients with APS-1 compared with healthy controls, with 6 mOTUs depleted and 8 enriched in patients with APS-1. Four overabundant mOTUs were significantly associated with severity of constipation. Phylogenetically conserved microbial associations with autoantibodies against cytokines were observed. After the 3-month intervention with the probiotic L rhamnosus GG, a subset of gastrointestinal symptoms were alleviated. L rhamnosus GG abundance was increased postintervention and corresponded with decreased abundances of Alistipes onderdonkii and Collinsella aerofaciens, 2 species positively associated with severity of diarrhea in patients with APS-1.ConclusionsThe APS-1 microbiome correlates with several APS-1 symptoms, some of which are alleviated after a 3-month L rhamnosus GG intervention. Autoantibodies against cytokines appear to shape the gut microbiome by positively correlating with a taxonomically consistent group of bacteria.

Mild COVID-19 despite autoantibodies against type I IFNs in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1.

Project description:Autoantibodies against IFN-α and IFN-ω (type I IFNs) were recently reported as causative for severe COVID-19 in the general population. Autoantibodies against IFN-α and IFN-ω are present in almost all patients with autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1) caused by biallelic deleterious or heterozygous dominant mutations in AIRE. We therefore hypothesized that autoantibodies against type I IFNs also predispose patients with APS-1 to severe COVID-19. We prospectively studied 6 patients with APS-1 between April 1, 2020 and April 1, 2021. Biobanked pre-COVID-19 sera of APS-1 subjects were tested for neutralizing autoantibodies against IFN-α and IFN-ω. The ability of the patients' sera to block recombinant human IFN-α and IFN-ω was assessed by assays quantifying phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) as well as infection-based IFN-neutralization assays. We describe 4 patients with APS-1 and preexisting high titers of neutralizing autoantibodies against IFN-α and IFN-ω who contracted SARS-CoV-2, yet developed only mild symptoms of COVID-19. None of the patients developed dyspnea, oxygen requirement, or high temperature. All infected patients with APS-1 were females and younger than 26 years of age. Clinical penetrance of neutralizing autoantibodies against type I IFNs for severe COVID-19 is not complete.
