Epigenomic and transcriptomic analysis of Systemic Sclerosis CD4+ T cells [Illumina]

ABSTRACT: Epigenomic and transcriptomic analysis of Systemic Sclerosis CD4+ T cells reveals long range dysregulation of key inflammatory pathways mediated by disease-associated susceptibility loci range dysregulation of key inflammatory pathways mediated by disease-associated System sclerosis (SSc) is a genetically complex autoimmune disease mediated by the interplay between genetic and epigenetic factors in a multitude of immune cells, with CD4+ T lymphocytes as one of the principle drivers of pathogenesis. In this study, we obtained DNA methylation and RNA expression profiles of CD4+ T cells from 48 SSc patients and 16 healthy controls. Consequently, we identified 9112 and 3929 differentially methylated CpGs positions (DMPs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) respectively. These DMPs and DEGs are enriched in functional categories related to inflammation and T cell biology. Furthermore, correlation analysis identified 17,500 possible DMP-DEG interaction pairs within a window of 5 Mb, and utilizing promoter capture Hi-C data, we confirmed 168 pairs of DMP-DEG physical interactions. Finally, utilizing SSc GWAS data, we identified three important SSc-associated susceptibility loci, CSK (rs1378942), IL12RB1 (rs2305743) and IKZF3-GSDMB (rs9303277), that physically interact with cg11062629-ULK3, cg10808810-JUND and cg19458020-CCR7 respectively. Overall, our study reveals a solid link between genetic, epigenetic and transcriptional deregulation in CD4+ T cells of SSc patients, providing further understanding to SSc pathogenesis.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: data of transcriptome profiling and epigenome-wide DNA methylation analysis

Project description:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited heart disease, and its pathogenesis is still being intensively studied to explain the reasons of significant genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity of the disease. To search for possible HCM modifier genes involved in the HCM development we first attempted to analyze gene expression profile coupled with DNA methylation profile in the hypertrophied myocardium of HCM patients; the control group consisted of patients with aortic stenosis. The transcriptome analysis identified significant differences in levels of 193 genes, most of which were underexpressed in HCM. The methylome analysis revealed 1755 nominally significant differentially methylated positions (DMPs), mostly hypomethylated in HCM. The clear differences in DNA methylation profiles between the studied groups indicate the involvement of this process in the formation of primary left ventricle hypertrophy in HCM. Based on gene ontology enrichment analysis, the majority of biological processes, overrepresented by both differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and DMP-containing genes, are involved in the regulation of locomotion and muscle structure development. The intersection of 193 DEGs and 978 DMP-containing genes pinpointed eight genes, expression of which differed between studied groups and correlated with methylation levels of the neighboring DMPs. Half of these genes (AUTS2, GIGYF1, PRRT1, and SLC17A7) were found underexpressed in HCM and involved in neurogenesis and synapse functioning. Our data suggesting the possible involvement of innervation-associated genes in HCM provide additional insights in the disease pathogenesis and expand the field of further research.

First characterization of the transcriptome of lung fibroblasts of SSc patients and healthy donors of African ancestry.

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare and devastating connective tissue disorder that results in fibrosis and vascular abnormalities that affect the skin and visceral organs, and SSc-associated pulmonary fibrosis (SSc-PF) is the leading cause of death amongst SSc patients. Racial disparity is noticeable in SSc as African Americans (AA) have a higher frequency and severity of diseases than European Americans (EA). Using RNAseq, we determined differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in primary pulmonary fibroblasts (pFBs) outgrown from SSc-PF lungs (SScL) and normal lungs (NL) of AA and EA patients to characterize the unique transcriptomic signatures of AA-NL and AA-SScL pFBs by performing a systems level analysis. We identified 69 DEGs in “AA-NL vs. EA-NL” and 384 DEGs in “AA-SScL vs. EA-SScL” comparisons, and only 7.5% DEGs were commonly deregulated in the “SScL vs. NL in AA and EA” disease mechanisms comparison. Surprisingly, we also identified a disease-like signature in AA-NL pFBs. Our data highlight that the transcriptome of AA pFBs is unique and may hold the key to understanding racial disparity in SSc-PF, the first step in developing efficacious therapeutic strategies.

Rheumatoid arthritis patients, both newly diagnosed and methotrexate treated, show more DNA methylation differences in CD4+ memory than in CD4+ naïve T cells

Project description:Differences in DNA methylation have been reported in B and T lymphocyte populations, including CD4+ T cells, isolated from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients when compared to healthy controls. CD4+ T cells are a heterogeneous cell type with subpopulations displaying distinct DNA methylation patterns. In this study, we investigated DNA methylation using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing in two CD4+ T cell populations (CD4+ memory and naïve cells) in three groups: newly diagnosed, disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) naïve RA patients (N=11), methotrexate (MTX) treated RA patients (N=18), and healthy controls (N=9) matched for age, gender and smoking status. Analyses of these data revealed significantly more differentially methylated positions (DMPs) in CD4+ memory than in CD4+ naïve T cells (904 vs 19 DMPs) in RA patients compared to controls. The majority of DMPs (72%) identified in newly diagnosed and DMARD naïve RA patients with active disease showed increased DNA methylation (39 DMPs), whereas most DMPs (80%) identified in the MTX treated RA patients in remission displayed decreased DNA methylation (694 DMPs). Interestingly, we also found that about one third of the 101 known RA risk loci overlapped (+/- 500 kb) with the DMPs. Notably, introns of the UBASH3A gene harbour both the lead RA risk SNP and two DMPs in CD4+ memory T cells. Our results suggest that RA associated DNA methylation differences vary between the two T cell subsets, but are also influenced by RA characteristics such as disease activity, disease duration and/or MTX treatment.

Topical Application of Nitrate Ameliorates Skin Fibrosis by Regulating ST2+CD4+ T Cells in Systemic Sclerosis Mouse Model

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by intractable multiorgan fibrosis caused by vascular and immune dysfunction. Currently, effective therapeutic options for patients with SSc are limited. Nitrate, an abundant nutrient in the diet, has been demonstrated to be preventative and therapeutic for several diseases. To determine whether nitrate can slow or reverse SSc progression, topical application of nitrate delivered by dissolving microneedles was used to treat a bleomycin (BLM)-induced dermal fibrosis mouse model. In this study, nitrate considerably attenuated dermal thickness, stiffness, and collagen deposition.To examine the nitrate regulation of gene expression at the genome-wide level, bulk RNA sequencing of skin was performed. Bulk RNA sequencing of skin revealed that Cd4 was a key hub gene in SSc nitrate therapy. Additionally, BLM-induced cytokines and chemokines were inhibited by nitrate, and CD4+ T cells infiltration markedly declined. Il4, Il6, Il13, and Tgfb expression in CD4+ T cells isolated from skin biopsies also significantly decreased. Mechanistically, Il1rl1, a type2 immune response inducer, was markedly repressed in isolated CD4+ T cells and dermal tissues after nitrate treatment. Remarkably, compared with wild type mice, mice lacking Il1rl1 showed impaired transcriptional profiles after intradermal BLM injection. Adoptive transfer of ST2+CD4+ T cells promoted bleomycin-induced Rag2-/- mice dermal fibrosis. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that nitrate targeting ST2+CD4+ T cells is an effective therapeutic option for SSc.

Epigenetic regulation of profibrotic macrophages in systemic sclerosis- associated interstitial lung disease

Project description:Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is the leading cause of death in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) with unclear pathogenesis and limited treatment options. Evidence strongly supports an important role for profibrotic, SPP1-expressing macrophages in SSc-ILD. We sought to define the transcriptome and chromatin structural changes of SPP1 SSc-ILD macrophages, so as to better understand their role in promoting fibrosis and to identify transcription factors associated with open chromatin driving their altered phenotype.

MicroRNA-19b exacerbates systemic sclerosis through promoting Th9 cells

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized with fibrosis of skin and multiple vital organs, but the immunological pathogenesis of SSc remains largely unknown. We show here that microRNA-19b (miR-19b) promotes IL-9-producing CD4+ T cells (Th9) that exacerbate SSc. Specifically, TGF-b plus IL-4 induced expression of TNF receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6) through phosphorylated Smad3 linker region site Serine 213 (p-Smad3L-Ser213) and activated it through K63 ubiquitination by suppressing the leucine-rich-repeat-containing protein 3 (NLRC3). TRAF6 consequently formed complex with and activated TGF-b activated kinase 1 (TAK1). TAK1 promoted nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) p65 activation, which then specifically upregulated miR-19b. miR-19b activated Il9 gene expression and promoted Th9 differentiation by directly targeting and suppressing atypical E2F family member E2f8 gene, a repressor for Il9 gene transcription. Importantly, Th9 cells played a critical role in the development and pathogenesis of experimental SSc by promoting the fibrosis in mice induced with Bleomycin. miR-19b and IL-9 were increased in CD4+ T cells in experimental SSc in mice and also in patients with SSc. Strikingly, inhibition of miR-19b resulted in fewer Th9 cells and attenuated fibrotic manifestations and ameliorated the disease in SSc mice. Our study identifies miR-19b as a key factor of Th9 cells that are involved in the pathogenesis of SSc. Our findings should have clinical implications for patients with SSc.

Interspecies Comparative Genomics Identifies Optimal Mouse Models of Scleroderma (Tsk2)

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is confounded by considerable disease heterogeneity. Animal models of SSc that recapitulate distinct subsets of disease at the molecular level have not delineated. We applied interspecies comparative analysis of genomic data from multiple mouse models of SSc and patients with SSc to determine which animal models best reflect the SSc intrinsic gene expression subsets.
