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:For celiac disease (CeD) the diagnosis and response to treatment is determined by histological evaluation of gut biopsies which depend on proper biopsy orientation and has poor inter-observer reproducibility. Biopsy proteome measurement that reports on the tissue state can be obtained by mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue. Here we aimed to transform biopsy proteome data into numerical scores that would give observer-independent measures of mucosal remodeling in CeD. A pipeline was established that employs glass-mounted FFPE sections for MS-based proteome analysis. Proteome data was converted to a numerical score using two different approaches, by calculating a rank-based enrichment score and by training a machine-learning algorithm to calculate a disease-state prediction value. The scoring approaches were compared to each other and to histology using a validation cohort of 18 CeD patients comparing biopsies collected before and after treatment with gluten-free diet (GFD). Biopsies from non-CeD individuals (n = 18) served as controls.

Project description:Celiac disease (CeD) is an intestinal immune-mediated disorder caused by gluten ingestion in genetically predisposed subjects. CeD is characterized by villous atrophy, altered intestinal permeability, crypt hyperplasia and innate and adaptive immune response. This study aimed to develop and validate the use of intestinal organoids from celiac patients to study CeD. A repository of organoids from duodenum of non-celiac and celiac patients was generated and characterized accordingly to standard procedures. RNA-seq analysis was employed to study the global gene expression program of CeD (n=3) and non-CeD (n=3) organoids sets. While the three celiac derived organoids shared similar transcriptional signatures the NC samples set appeared more heterogeneous. We found 486 genes differentially expressed between the two groups. Of them, 299 genes were downregulated (FC<2; FDR<0.05) and 187 were upregulated in CeD (FC >2; FDR<0.05). We observed CeD organoids had significantly altered expression of genes associated with barrier function, innate immunity, and stem cell function.

Project description:Coeliac disease (CeD) is a complex, polygenic inflammatory enteropathy with autoimmune features caused by exposure to dietary gluten that occurs in a subset of genetically susceptible HLA-DQ8 and HLA-DQ2 individuals. Attempts to develop a pathophysiologically relevant animal model that develops villous atrophy (VA) have failed. The need to develop non-dietary treatments for this common disorder is now widely recognized, but it is hampered by the lack of a preclinical model. Furthermore, while human studies have led to major advances in our understanding of CeD pathogenesis, direct demonstration of the respective roles of disease-predisposing HLA molecules, and adaptive and innate immunity in the development of tissue damage is missing. To address these unmet needs, we engineered a mouse model that reproduces the dual overexpression of IL-15 in the gut epithelium and the lamina propria (Lp) characteristic of active CeD, expresses the predisposing HLA-DQ8 molecule, and develops VA upon gluten ingestion. We show that overexpression of IL-15 in both the epithelium and Lp is required for development of VA, demonstrating the location-dependent central role of IL-15 in CeD pathogenesis. Furthermore, our study reveals the critical role played by both CD4+ and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in VA development. Finally, it establishes that HLA-DQ8 is central for tissue destruction, but dispensable for loss of oral tolerance to gluten. This mouse model, by reflecting the complex interplay between gluten, genetics and the IL-15-driven tissue inflammation found in CeD, represents a powerful preclinical model to test new therapeutics and study disease pathogenesis.

Project description:The pathogenesis of celiac disease (CeD) remains incompletely understood. Traditional diagnostic techniques for CeD include serological testing and endoscopic examination; however, they have limitations. Therefore, there is a need to identify novel noninvasive biomarkers for CeD diagnosis. We analyzed duodenal and plasma samples from CeD patients by four-dimensional data-dependent acquisition (4D-DIA) proteomics. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified for functional analysis and to propose blood biomarkers associated with CeD diagnosis. In duodenal and plasma samples, respectively, 897 and 140 DEPs were identified. Combining weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA) with the DEPs, five key proteins were identified across three machine learning methods. FGL2 and TXNDC5 were significantly elevated in the CeD group, while CHGA expression showed an increasing trend, but without statistical significance. The receiver operating characteristic curve results indicated an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.7711 for FGL2 and 0.6978 for TXNDC5, with a combined AUC of 0.8944. Exploratory analysis using Mfuzz and three machine learning methods identified four plasma proteins potentially associated with CeD pathological grading (Marsh classification): FABP, CPOX, BHMT, and PPP2CB. We conclude that FGL2 and TXNDC5 deserve exploration as potential sensitive, noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for CeD.

Project description:Disease-specific plasma cells (PCs) reactive with transglutaminase 2 (TG2) or deamidated gluten peptides (DGP) are abundant in celiac disease (CeD) gut lesions. Their contribution toward CeD pathogenesis is unclear. We assessed expression of markers associated with PC longevity in 15 untreated and 26 treated CeD patients in addition to 13 non-CeD controls, and performed RNA-sequencing with clonal inference and transcriptomic analysis of 3251 single PCs. We observed antigen-dependent V-gene selection and stereotypic antibodies. Generation of recombinant DGP-specific antibodies revealed a key role of a heavy-chain residue that displays polymorphism, suggesting that immunoglobulin gene polymorphisms may influence CeD-specific antibody responses. We identified transcriptional differences between CeD-specific vs non-disease-specific PCs and between short-lived vs long-lived PCs. The short-lived CD19+CD45+ phenotype dominated in untreated and short-term-treated CeD, in particular among disease-specific PCs but also in the general PC population. Thus, the disease lesion of untreated CeD is characterized by massive accumulation of short-lived PCs that are not only directed against disease-specific antigens.

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).

We aimed to scrutinize the functional implication of 45 of those genes by analyzing their expression in the disease tissue of celiac patients (at diagnosis/treatment) compared to non-celiac controls. The sample set consisted of 15 CD children at diagnosis (on a gluten-containing diet, with CD associated antibodies, atrophy of intestinal villi and crypt hyperplasia), and the same patients in remission after being treated with GFD for >2 years (asymptomatic, antibody negative, and normalized intestinal epithelium at that time), plus 15 tissue samples from non-celiac individuals not suffering from inflammation at the time of endoscopy used as controls

Project description:Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium leprae. Genetic association studies indicated that leprosy risk is strongly associated with variation within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region, but the full number of variants in this region has yet to be elucidated. To identify further susceptibility loci or loss of function variants for this disease, we performed fine-mapping analysis of the MHC region using a Han Chinese reference panel (n= 10,689 patients, 29,948 genetic markers) in the data sets from our previous leprosy studies. Then, a fixed-effect meta-analysis was carried out separately for Chinese (case=2,901, control=3,801) and North Chinese (case=1,983, control=2,635) participants. The meta-analysis of Chinese participants identified 10 HLA-type or amino acid variants with lower than the genome-wide significant susceptibility signal. Next, gene-by-gene step-wise conditional analysis was performed in the combined dataset of these cohorts. Finally, we identified four new independent susceptibility loci (HLA-DQA1, HLA-C, rs3129063, and rs58327373) and confirmed one previously reported locus (HLA-DRB1) that significantly associated with leprosy in the Chinese Han population. Thus the results of this study increase knowledge about leprosy risk variants and illustrate the value of HLA imputation for fine mapping of causal variants in the MHC.
