Multiomic analysis identifies natural intrapatient temporal variability and changes in response to systemic corticosteroid therapy in chronic rhinosinusitis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The pathophysiology and temporal dynamics of affected tissues in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remain poorly understood. Here, we present a multiomics-based time-series assessment of nasal polyp biopsies from three patients with CRS, assessing natural variability over time and local response to systemic corticosteroid therapy.

Methods

Polyp tissue biopsies were collected at three time points over two consecutive weeks. Patients were prescribed prednisone (30?mg daily) for 1 week between Collections 2 and 3. Polyp transcriptome, proteome, and microbiota were assessed via RNAseq, SWATH mass spectrometry, and 16S ribosomal RNA and ITS2 amplicon sequencing. Baseline interpatient variability, natural intrapatient variability over time, and local response to systemic corticosteroids, were investigated.

Results

Overall, the highly abundant transcripts and proteins were associated with pathways involved in inflammation, FAS, cadherin, integrin, Wnt, apoptosis, and cytoskeletal signaling, as well as coagulation and B- and T-cell activation. Transcripts and proteins that naturally varied over time included those involved with inflammation- and epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related pathways, and a number of common candidate target biomarkers of CRS. Ten transcripts responded significantly to corticosteroid therapy, including downregulation of TNF, CCL20, and GSDMA, and upregulation of OVGP1, and PCDHGB1. Members of the bacterial genus Streptococcus positively correlated with immunoglobulin proteins IGKC and IGHG1.

Conclusions

Understanding natural dynamics of CRS-associated tissues is essential to provide baseline context for all studies on putative biomarkers, mechanisms, and subtypes of CRS. These data further our understanding of the natural dynamics within nasal polypoid tissue, as well as local changes in response to systemic corticosteroid therapy.

Project description:Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an immune-mediated liver disease currently treated by immunosuppressive medications with significant side effects. Thus, novel mechanistic treatments are greatly needed. We performed prospective deep immunophenotyping of blood immune cells in patients with acute AIH before and after corticosteroid therapy. Blood samples from 26 patients with acute AIH (United Kingdom-AIH Consortium) were phenotyped by flow cytometry at baseline and 4 months after starting corticosteroids. Pretreatment liver tissues were stained for forkhead box P3-positive (FOXP3POS) regulatory T cells (Tregs), clusters of differentiation (CD)56POS natural killer (NK) cells, and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10. Chemokine secretion by cultured primary hepatocyte and biliary epithelial cells was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Functional coculture assays with stimulated NK cells and Tregs were performed. CD161 ligand, lectin-like transcript-1 expression by intrahepatic immune cells was demonstrated with flow cytometry. Frequencies of NKbright cells declined with therapy (P < 0.001) and correlated with levels of alanine aminotransferase (P = 0.023). The Treg:NKbright ratio was lower pretreatment, and Tregs had an activated memory phenotype with high levels of CD39, cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4, and FOXP3 but also high programmed death ligand 1, indicating exhaustion. Coculture experiments suggested the Tregs could not efficiently suppress interferon-γ secretion by NK cells. Both Tregs and NK cells had high expression of liver infiltration and T helper 17 plasticity-associated marker CD161 (P = 0.04). Pretreatment and CD161pos NK cells expressed high levels of perforin and granzyme B, consistent with an activated effector phenotype (P < 0.05). Lectin-like transcript 1, a ligand for CD161, is expressed on intrahepatic B cells, monocytes, and neutrophils. Conclusion: Activated effector NK cells, which correlate with biochemical measurements of hepatitis, and exhausted memory Tregs are increased in the blood of patients with treatment-naive AIH and decline with corticosteroid therapy. Inadequate regulation of NK cells by exhausted FOXP3pos Tregs may play a role in AIH pathogenesis and contribute to liver injury. (Hepatology Communications 2018;2:421-436).
