Project description:In vitro models of autoimmunity are constrained by an inability to culture affected epithelium alongside the complex tissue-resident immune microenvironment. Celiac disease (CeD) is an autoimmune disease where dietary gluten-derived peptides bind the MHC- II molecules HLA-DQ2 or -DQ8 to initiate immune-mediated duodenal mucosal injury. Here, we generated air-liquid interface (ALI) duodenal organoids from endoscopic biopsies that preserve epithelium alongside native mesenchyme and tissue-resident immune cells as a unit without requiring reconstitution. The ALI organoid immune diversity spanned T, B, plasma, NK and myeloid cells with extensive T and B cell receptor repertoires. HLA-DQ2.5-restricted gluten peptides selectively instigated epithelial destruction in HLA-DQ2.5-expressing CeD patient organoids, which was antagonized by MHC-II or NKG2C/D blockade. Gluten epitopes stimulated a CeD organoid network response in lymphoid and myeloid subsets alongside anti-TG2 autoantibody production. Functional studies in CeD organoids revealed IL-7 as a novel gluten-inducible pathogenic modulator which regulated CD8+ T cell-NKG2C/D expression and was necessary and sufficient for epithelial destruction. Further, endogenous IL-7 was markedly induced in patient biopsies from active CeD versus remission disease, predominantly in lamina propria mesenchyme. By preserving epithelium alongside diverse immune populations, this human in vitro CeD model recapitulates gluten-dependent pathology, facilitates mechanistic investigation, and establishes proof-of-principle for organoid modeling of autoimmunity.

Project description:In this study relative quantitative analysis of endogenous peptides by mass spectrometry combined with neural network analysis have been used to address why the alpha- or beta-chain sharing human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ molecules DQ2.5, DQ2.2 and DQ7.5 display different risks for celiac disease. Celiac disease is caused by intolerance to cereal gluten proteins, and HLA-DQ molecules are involved in the disease pathogenesis by presentation of gluten peptides to CD4+ T cells. It has recently been shown that T cells of DQ2.5 and DQ2.2 patients recognize different sets of gluten epitopes suggesting that these celiac disease associated DQ molecules select different peptides for display. To explore whether this is the case, we performed a comprehensive, large-scale comparison of the endogenous self-peptides bound to HLA-DQ molecules of B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCLs). Peptides were eluted from affinity-purified HLA molecules of nine cell lines and subjected to quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometry and MaxQuant software analysis. Altogether, 12712 endogenous peptides were identified at very different relative abundances. Hierarchical clustering of normalized quantitative data demonstrated significant differences in repertoires of peptides between the three DQ variant molecules. The neural network-based method, NNAlign, was used to identify peptide-binding motifs. The binding motifs of DQ2.5 and DQ7.5 concurred with previously established binding motifs. The binding motif of DQ2.2 was strikingly different from that of DQ2.5 with position P3 being a major anchor having a preference for threonine and serine. This is notable as three recently identified epitopes of gluten recognized by T cells of DQ2.2 celiac patients harbor serine at position P3. The study demonstrates that relative quantitative comparison of endogenous peptides sampled from our protein metabolism by HLA molecules provides clues to understand HLA association with disease.

Project description:In order to characterize the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of gluten specific T cells, we performed high-throughput DNA sequencing of rearranged TCR-α and TCR-β genes of the single HLA-DQ2.5:DQ2.5-gluten tetramer binding CD4+ T cells isolated from blood, biopsies and T cell line from celiac disease patients.

Project description:Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic inflammation of the small intestine triggered by the ingestion of gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. Tissue transglutaminase (TG2) is a key factor in the pathogenesis of CD, because it catalyzes both the deamidation of specific glutamine residues and the formation of covalent Nε-(γ-glutamyl)-lysine isopeptide crosslinks resulting in TG2-gluten peptide complexes. These complexes are thought to activate B cells causing the secretion of anti-TG2 autoantibodies that serve as diagnostic markers for CD, although their pathogenic role remains unclear. To gain more insight into the molecular structures of TG2-gluten peptide complexes, we developed a reciprocal proteomic analysis strategy, which facilitates the comprehensive identification of isopeptides in a complex protein hydrolysate. The workflow consists of four steps: (1) performance of the model reaction between TG2 and gluten peptide(s) followed by tryptic hydrolysis, clean-up and untargeted nLC-MS/MS analysis (2), prediction of tryptic TG2-derived lysine peptides that serve as potential isopeptide modifications (3) the search for isopeptides by configuring the TG2-modifications in MaxQuant and search against the α-gliadin fasta file and (4) the reciprocal search for isopeptides by configuring the gluten peptide(s) as modification in MaxQuant and search against the TG2 fasta file. After verification by manual data curation and visualization, this strategy enabled the identification of 26 different isopeptides involving 19 TG2 lysine residues, only six of which were known previously. Experiments with different TG2-gluten peptide molar ratios revealed that K-425, K-590, K-600 and K-649 were the most preferred lysine residues involved in isopeptide crosslinking. Further, expanding the model system to three gluten peptides allowed the localization of the preferred glutamine crosslinking sites. The described strategy is generally applicable to any hydrolysate containing isopeptides and these new insights into the structure of TG2-gluten peptide complexes may help clarify the role of extracellular TG2 in CD autoimmunity and in other inflammatory diseases.

Project description:In order to characterize the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of DQ2.5-hor-3-specific T cells, we performed high-throughput DNA sequencing of rearranged TCR-α and TCR-β genes of the single HLA-DQ2.5:DQ2.5-hor-3- tetramer binding CD4+ T cells isolated from biopsies of celiac disease patients. We also sequenced the TCR of the T-cell clones (TCCs) that were generated by cloning by limited dilution and antigen-free expansion of HLA-DQ2.5:DQ2.5-hor-3-tetramer binding CD4+ T cells from biopsies of celiac disease patients.

Project description:Dietary gluten proteins (prolamins) from wheat, rye, and barley are the driving forces behind celiac disease, an organ-specific autoimmune disorder that targets both the small intestine and organs outside the gut. In the small intestine, gluten induces inflammation and a typical morphological change of villous atrophy and crypt hyperplasia. Gut lesions improve and heal when gluten is excluded from the diet and the disease relapses when patients consume gluten. Oral immune tolerance towards gluten may be kept for years or decades before breaking tolerance in genetically susceptible individuals. Celiac disease provides a unique opportunity to study autoimmunity and the transition in immune cells as gluten breaks oral tolerance. Seventy-three celiac disease patients on a long-term gluten-free diet ingested a known amount of gluten daily for six weeks. A peripheral blood sample and intestinal biopsies were taken before and six weeks after initiating the gluten challenge. Biopsy results were reported on a continuous numeric scale that measured the villus height to crypt depth ratio to quantify gluten-induced gut mucosal injury. Pooled B and T cells were isolated from whole blood, and RNA was analyzed by DNA microarray looking for changes in peripheral B- and T-cell gene expression that correlated with changes in villus height to crypt depth, as patients maintained or broke oral tolerance in the face of a gluten challenge.

Project description:Gluten-specific CD4+ T cells are drivers of celiac disease (CeD). Here we aimed to characterize such cells in blood of treated CeD patients during gluten challenge with comparison to similar cells of untreated disease.
Treated CeD patients underwent a 3-day gluten-challenge with blood sampling at baseline and day 6 (d6). Blood cells were stained with HLA-DQ:gluten tetramers (Tetramer). CD4+, gut-homing Tetramer+ and Tetramer- effector-memory T (TEM) cells at d6 were subjected to bulk RNA-seq (n=7).
