Immunity to commensal skin fungi promotes psoriasiform skin inflammation

ABSTRACT: Under steady state conditions, the immune system is poised to sense and respond to the microbiota. As such, immunity to the microbiota, including T cell responses, is expected to precede any inflammatory trigger. How this pool of preformed microbiota-specific T cells contributes to tissue pathologies remains unclear. Here, using an experimental model of psoriasis, we show that recall responses to commensal skin fungi can significantly aggravate tissue inflammation. Enhanced pathology caused by fungi pre-exposure depends on Th17 responses and neutrophil extracellular traps and recapitulates features of the transcriptional landscape of human lesional psoriatic skin. Together, our results propose that recall responses directed to skin fungi can directly promote skin inflammation and that exploration of tissue inflammation should be assessed in the context of recall responses to the microbiota.

Host-microbiota interaction is regulated by skin autonomous production of antibodies

Project description:The microbiota colonizes each barrier site and broadly controls host physiology. However, when uncontrolled, microbial colonists can also promote inflammation and induce systemic infection. The unique strategies employed at each barrier tissue to control the coexistence of the host with its microbiota remain largely elusive. Here we uncover that, within the skin, host-microbiota symbiosis depends on the remarkable ability of the skin to act as an autonomous lymphoid organ. Notably, an encounter with a new skin commensal promotes two parallel responses, both under the control of Langerhans cells. On one hand, skin commensals induce the formation of classical germinal centers within secondary lymphoid organs associated with IgG1 and IgG3 antibody responses. On the other hand, microbial colonization also leads to the development of tertiary lymphoid organs within the skin itself that can locally sustain and mature IgG2b and IgG2c responses. These phenomena are supported, at least in part, by the ability of the skin regulatory T cells to convert into T follicular helper cells that accumulate within organized tertiary lymphoid organs within the dermis. Skin autonomous production of antibodies is sufficient to control local commensal colonization as well as subsequent systemic infection with the same microbe. Collectively, these results reveal a striking compartmentalization of humoral responses to the microbiota. Further, this work uncovers a previously unappreciated function for the skin as a compartment able to develop, in the absence of inflammation, powerful and long-lived antibody responses independently of secondary lymphoid organs.

Host-microbiota interaction is regulated by autonomous skin-intrinsic germinal centers

Project description:Host symbiosis with its microbiota can represent a liability for the host. Indeed, while these communities of microbes broadly control host physiology, the microbiota can also promote inflammation and represent a source of local and systemic infection. The unique strategies employed by each tissue to maintain and control coexistence with commensal microbes remain largely unclear. Here we uncover that, within the skin, host protection from its microbiota depends on the remarkable ability of the skin to act as an autonomous lymphoid organ. Notably, an encounter with a new skin microbe is associated with two parallel responses both, under the control of Langerhans cells. On one hand, skin commensal promotes the development of classical germinal centers within secondary lymphoid organs leading to IgG1 and IgG3 responses. On the other hand, microbial colonization also leads to the development of tertiary lymphoid organs that can locally sustain and mature IgG2b and IgG2c responses. The ability of the skin to develop as a lymphoid compartment is at least in part mediated by the ability of the local Treg pool to convert into T follicular helper cells accumulating within organized tertiary lymphoid organs surrounding the hair follicles. Remarkably, skin autonomous production of antibodies is sufficient to control both microbial colonization within the skin as well as subsequent infection with the same commensal. Collectively these results reveal a profound compartmentalization of humoral responses between the lymph nodes and the skin. Further, this work uncovers a previously unappreciated function for the skin as a compartment able to develop, in the absence of inflammation, powerful and long-lived antibody responses independently of secondary lymphoid organs.

Endogenous retrovirus control of homeostatic and inflammatory responses to the microbiota [RNA-seq]

Project description:The microbiota plays a fundamental role in regulating host immunity. However, the processes that initiate homeostatic immunity to the microbiota remain largely unknown. Here, we show that the skin microbiota promotes the discrete expression of defined endogenous retrovirus (ERVs). Keratinocyte-intrinsic responses to ERVs depended on cGAS/STING signaling and promoted the induction commensal specific T cells including CD8+, CD4+ and MAIT cells. Inhibition of reverse transcriptase significantly impacted these responses resulting in impaired homeostatic immunity to the microbiota and associated tissue repair function. Conversely, diets that caused an increase in dietary lipids primed the skin for aberrant ERV expression in response to commensal colonization, leading to tissue inflammation. Together, our results support the idea that the host may have coopted its endogenous virome as a means to communicate with the exogenous microbial microbiota, resulting in a multikingdom dialogue that controls both tissue homeostasis and inflammation.

KLK6 expression in skin induces PAR1-mediated psoriasiform dermatitis and inflammatory joint disease

Project description:Kallikrein-related peptidase 6 (KLK6) is a secreted serine protease hypothesized to promote inflammation via cleavage of protease-activated receptors (PAR)1 and PAR2. KLK6 levels are elevated in multiple inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, but no definitive role in pathogenesis has been established. Here, we show that skin-targeted overexpression of KLK6 causes generalized, severe psoriasiform dermatitis with spontaneous development of debilitating psoriatic arthritis-like joint disease. The psoriatic skin and joint phenotypes are reversed by normalization of skin KLK6 levels and attenuated following genetic elimination of PAR1 but not PAR2. Conservation of this regulatory pathway was confirmed in human psoriasis using vorapaxar, an FDA-approved PAR1 antagonist, on explanted lesional skin from psoriasis patients. Beyond defining a critical role for KLK6-PAR1 signaling in promoting psoriasis, our results demonstrate that KLK6-PAR1-mediated inflammation in the skin alone is sufficient to drive inflammatory joint disease. Further, we identify PAR1 as a promising cytokine-independent target in therapy of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

Inflammatory mediators suppress FGFR2 expression in human keratinocytes to promote skin inflammation

Project description:FGFs are key orchestrators of development, tissue homeostasis and repair. FGFR deficiency in mouse keratinocytes causes an inflammatory skin phenotype resembling atopic dermatitis (AD). To determine the human relevance of this finding, we generated human keratinocytes with a CRISPR/Cas9-induced knockout of FGFR2. Loss of this receptor promoted the expression of interferon-stimulated genes and other genes involved in inflammation under homeostatic conditions and in particular in response to inflammatory mediators without affecting cell viability. Bioinformatics analyses and functional studies showed strong down-regulation of FGFR2 expression in cultured keratinocytes exposed to various pro-inflammatory stimuli and in keratinocytes of lesional AD skin, which is likely to further aggravate the inflammatory phenotype. These results reveal a key function of FGFR2 in human keratinocytes in the suppression of skin inflammation and suggests a role of FGFR2 down-regulation in AD pathogenesis.

A human STAT3 gain of function variant drives Th17 expansion and IL-22 dependent skin inflammation in a model of psoriasiform dermatitis

Project description:Germline gain-of-function (GOF) variants in STAT3 cause early-onset poly-autoimmunity and immune dysregulation. STAT3 is a pleiotropic transcription factor that affects the induction and regulation of immune responses, with diverse effects on the immune response. Using a mouse model of STAT3 GOF (p.G421R), we observed spontaneous and imiquimod (IMQ)-induced skin inflammation with increased cell-intrinsic local Th17 responses. CD4+ T cells were required and sufficient to drive skin inflammation, and upregulated Il22 expression in expanded clones. However, certain aspects of disease, including epidermal thickness, required the presence of STAT3 GOF in epithelial cells. Treatment with a JAK inhibitor improved skin disease, without affecting local Th17 recruitment and cytokine production. Collectively, these data support a role for a Th17 response and in the development of organ-specific immune dysregulation in STAT3 GOF, and also suggest that the presence of STAT3 GOF in tissues is important for disease and can be targeted with JAK inhibition.
