IgG immunocomplexes sensitize human monocytes for inflammatory hyperactivity via transcriptomic and epigenetic reprogramming in Rheumatoid Arthritis

ABSTRACT: Prevalence of circulating immunocomplexes (ICs) strongly correlates with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in humans. Deposits of IgG-ICs are abundant in affected joints of patients, yet molecular mechanisms for the pathogenic roles of such ICs are not fully understood. In this study, we present evidence that IgG-ICs precipitated from RA sera sensitized human monocytes for a long lasting inflammatory functional state, characterized by a strong TNF-a response to cellular proteins representing damage associated molecular patterns and microbe-derived pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Importantly, plate-coated human IgG (a mimic of deposited IC without Ag restriction) exhibited a similarly robust ability of monocyte sensitization in vitro. The plate-coated human IgG–induced functional programming is accompanied by transcriptomic and epigenetic modification of various inflammatory cytokines and negative regulator genes. Moreover, macrophages freshly isolated from synovia of patients with RA, but not sera-negative arthropathy, displayed a signature gene expression profile highly similar to that of IC-sensitized human monocytes, indicative of historical priming events by IgG-ICs in vivo. Thus, the ability of IgG-ICs to drive sustainable functional sensitization/reprogramming of monocytes and macrophages toward inflammation may render them key players in the of RA.

Human FcgRIIa mediates attenuation of IFN-I response in human monocytes

Project description:It is generally believed that there is continued cross-regulation between adaptive humoral immunity and Type I interferon (IFN-I) response during viral infections, but the question how antibodies (Abs), and/or Ab-antigen immunocomplexes (ICs), regulate IFN-I production and/or signaling in immune cells remains unanswered. Here we report that plate-coated IgG (cIgG), a mimic IC without antigen restriction, could dampen IFN-I signaling in monocytes through FcgRIIa.

Human FcγRIIa mediates osteoclastogenesis through a novel noncanonical pathway independent of RANKL and inflammatory cytokines

Project description:Under physiological conditions, osteoclasts (OCs) are generated from monocytic osteoprecursors under the stimulation of RANKL and M-CSF, requiring co-stimulatory signals from Fc receptor common γ chain (FcRγ) or DNAX-activated protein 12. It has been proposed that immune complexes (ICs) directly potentiate RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis by triggering FcγR-coupled Fcγ receptors (FcγRs), thereby linking IC accumulation and pathological osteolysis under various disease conditions. However, whether ICs possess pro-osteoclastogenic potential independent of RANKL is unknown. Here we demonstrate that IgG ICs alone can drive the differentiation of human blood monocytes into nonclassical OCs (NOCs) phenotypically and functionally distinguishable from RANKL-induced classical OCs (COCs). This novel noncanonical osteoclastogenesis pathway is triggered by full crosslinking of human FcγRIIa (hFcγRIIa), or co-ligation of hFcγRIIa and TLR4, and signals through the Src family kinase-STAT5 axis without inducing the expression of NFATc1, a master transcription factor for the previously described osteoclastogenesis pathways. Surprisingly, IgG ICs strongly overrule the generation of COCs driven by RANKL in vitro. More importantly, TRAP+ OCs found in the inflammatory joint tissues of hFcγRIIa-transgenic mice with collagen-induced arthritis bear the NFATc1- phenotype. Our results unmask the “double faces” of IgG ICs in health and disease, and suggest a novel and important pathway for ICs contributing to pathological bone erosion in inflammatory arthritis.

Lupus IgA1 autoantibodies synergize with IgG to enhance pDC responses to RNA-containing immune complexes

Project description:Autoantibodies to nuclear antigens are hallmarks for diagnosis of the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and they contribute to SLE pathogenesis. However, there remains a gap in our knowledge regarding how different isotypes of autoantibodies contribute to key disease processes, including the production of the critical type I interferon (IFN) cytokines by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in response to immune complexes (ICs). Here, we show that individuals with SLE have IgA autoantibodies against most nuclear antigens assessed, largely correlating with the amounts of IgG against the same antigen. We investigated whether IgA autoantibodies against a major SLE autoantigen, Smith ribonucleoproteins (Sm/RNPs), play a role in IC activation of pDCs. We found that pDCs express the IgA-specific Fc receptor, FcRI, and there was a striking ability of IgA1 isotype autoantibodies to synergize with IgG in RNA-containing ICs to generate robust pDC IFN responses. pDC responses to these ICs required both FcRI and FcRIIa, suggesting the most potent ICs for pDCs contained autoantibodies of both isotypes. Sm/RNP IC binding to and internalization by pDCs were greater when ICs contained both IgA1 and IgG. In addition, binding of Sm/RNP ICs generated with IgA1-sufficient serum correlated to pDC FcRI expression, but not FcRIIa expression. pDCs from individuals with SLE had higher binding of IgA1-containing ICs and higher expression of FcRI than pDCs from healthy control individuals, correlating with expression of IFN response genes. Taken together, our data indicate that IgA1 ANAs contribute to SLE pathology and warrant further investigation.

Immune complex stimulation of human monocytes

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease and several distinct autoantibodies have been described in SSc patients, many correlating with specific clinical presentation. Numerous studies have documented the presence of immune complexes (IC) in sera, lungs and BAL of SSc patients, potentially implicating them in the pathogenesis. Monocyte/macrophage activation also have been observed in fibrotic SSc skin and lung tissue. While the upstream activators remain unknown, it is plausible that IC are amongst the key triggers in activating monocytes and sustaining the chronic inflammation and fibrosis in SSc tissue. To test this hypothesis and find the specific downstream genes regulated by IC, we compare the gene expressions of the monocytes stimulated by control medium, LPS and IC using RNA seq. OPN was one of these IC regulated genes. Our paper further suggested that circulating OPN levels serve as a systemic proxy for IC driven profibrotic macrophage activity, highlighting its potential as a promising biomarker in SSc-ILD.

Distinct pathogenic roles for resident and monocyte-derived macrophages in lupus nephritis

Project description:Lupus nephritis is a serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus, mediated by IgG immune complex (IC) deposition in kidneys, with limited treatment options. Kidney macrophages are critical tissue sentinels that express IgG-binding Fcγ receptors (FcγRs), with previous studies identifying prenatally seeded resident macrophages as major IC responders. Using single-cell transcriptomic and spatial analyses in murine and human lupus nephritis, we sought to understand macrophage heterogeneity and subset-specific contributions in disease. In lupus nephritis, the cell fate trajectories of tissue-resident (TrMac) and monocyte-derived (MoMac) kidney macrophages were perturbed, with disease-associated transcriptional states indicating distinct pathogenic roles for TrMac and MoMac subsets. Lupus nephritis–associated MoMac subsets showed marked induction of FcγR response genes, avidly internalized circulating ICs, and presented IC-opsonized antigen. In contrast, lupus nephritis-associated TrMac subsets demonstrated limited IC uptake, but expressed monocyte chemoattractants, and their depletion attenuated monocyte recruitment to the kidney. TrMacs also produced B cell tissue niche factors, suggesting a role in supporting autoantibody-producing lymphoid aggregates. Extensive similarities were observed with human kidney macrophages, revealing cross-species transcriptional disruption in lupus nephritis. Overall, our study suggests a division of labor in the kidney macrophage response in lupus nephritis, with treatment implications — TrMacs orchestrate leukocyte recruitment while MoMacs take up and present IC antigen.

Anti-carbamylated fibrinogen antibodies, that might be related to a particular rheumatoid phenotype, include a subset recognizing in vivo epitopes of its γ chain whose one of them is not cross reactive with ACPA

Project description:To identify the targets recognized by anti-carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibodies in patients with early Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), to study the cross-reactivity between anti-CarP and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and to evaluate their prognostic value. 331 patients (184 RA and 147 other rheumatisms) from the Very Early Arthritis (VErA) French cohort were analyzed. We performed mass spectrometry analysis of RA sera displaying anti-CarP activity and epitope mapping of the carbamylated fibrinogen γ chain to identify immunodominant peptides. The specificity of these targets was studied using competition assays with the major antigens recognized by ACPA. The prognostic value of anti-carbamylated fibrinogen IgG antibodies (ACa-Fib IgG) was compared to anti-CCP and anti-CarP using an in-house ELISA. Besides the α chain, the γ chain of fibrinogen, particularly one immunodominant epitope that has a specific reactivity, was identified as a circulating carbamylated target in sera. Prevalence of ACa-Fib was 37% at baseline and 10.9% for anti-CCP-negative RA. In anti-CCP-negative patients, ACa-Fib positivity was associated with a more inflammatory and erosive disease at baseline but not with rapid radiological progression, which remains strongly related to anti-CCP antibodies. Fibrinogen seems to be one of the antigens recognized in vivo by the anti-CarP response, particularly 2 epitopes of the γ chain, one of which is not cross reactive with ACPA. This specificity might be associated with a distinct clinical phenotype since ACa-Fib IgG were shown to be linked to systemic inflammation in very early RA but not to rapid radiological progression.

The role of quiescent thymic progenitors in TAL/LMO2-induced T-ALL chemotolerance

Project description:Relapse in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) may signify the persistence of leukemia-initiating cells (L-ICs). Ectopic TAL1/LMO expression defines the largest subset of T-ALL, but its role in leukemic transformation and its impact on relapse-driving L-ICs remain poorly understood. In TAL1/LMO mouse models, double negative-3 (DN3; CD4−CD8−CD25+CD44−) thymic progenitors harbored L-ICs. However, only a subset of DN3 leukemic cells exhibited L-IC activity, and studies linking L-ICs and chemotolerance are needed. To investigate L-IC heterogeneity, we used mouse models and applied single-cell RNA-sequencing and nucleosome labeling techniques in vivo. We identified a DN3 subpopulation with a cell cycle–restricted profile and heightened TAL1/LMO2 activity, that expressed genes associated with stemness and quiescence. This dormant DN3 subset progressively expanded throughout leukemogenesis, displaying intrinsic chemotolerance and enrichment in genes linked to minimal residual disease. Examination of TAL/LMO patient samples revealed a similar pattern in CD7+CD1a− thymic progenitors, previously recognized for their L-IC activity, demonstrating cell cycle restriction and chemotolerance. Our findings substantiate the emergence of dormant, chemotolerant L-ICs during leukemogenesis, and demonstrate that Tal1 and Lmo2 cooperate to promote DN3 quiescence during the transformation process. This study provides a deeper understanding of TAL1/LMO-induced T-ALL and its clinical implications in therapy failure.

FADD is a new protein secreted unconventionally following classical NLRP3 inflammasome activation

Project description:NLRP3 inflammasome assembles in response to stress or danger signals and leads to unconventional secretion of proinflammatory IL-1. FADD is an NLRP3 inflammasome component. Here we found that classical NLRP3 inflammasome activation in human monocytes/macrophages induced FADD secretion, which required potassium efflux, functional NLRP3 sensor, ASC adaptor and caspase-1 scaffold molecule. FADD is a leaderless protein unconventionally secreted through plasma membrane-derived microvesicles. Blood-derived monocytes from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients secreted more FADD following NLRP3 inflammasome activation than those from healthy donors, and we found increased levels of FADD in the sera (ESPOIR cohort) and synovial fluids from RA patients. Levels of synovial FADD correlated with the inflammatory status of the joint. These data reveal that FADD secretion occurs during inflammatory disease in vivo.
