Gene expression profile of DOCK8+CD4 T cell which causes systemic lupus erythematosus

ABSTRACT: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypical autoimmune disease of unknown cause. We show here that a novel T follicular helper cell type expressing the guanine nucleotide exchange factor DOCK8 on the cell surface causes SLE. These cells, which we have designated autoantibody-inducing CD4 T (aiCD4 T) cells, are generated after resuscitation from anergy following strong TCR stimulation by antigen. When mice normally not prone to autoimmune disease were repeatedly immunized with an antigen such as OVA, they generated DOCK8+ CD4 T cells. These DOCK8+ CD4 T cells, in vivo and also upon transfer to naïve mice, induced a variety of autoantibodies and lesions characteristic of SLE. TCR repertoire analyses showed that a substantial number of novel TCR repertoires were generated in the DOCK8+ CD4 T cells, which induced novel autoantibodies upon transfer to naïve mice. DOCK8+ CD4 T cells are localized in splenic red pulp, the space immunoreactive against a variety of antigens, and specifically increased in the peripheral blood of SLE patients in association with disease activity. Anti-DOCK8 antibody treatment ameliorated the lesions induced by DOCK8+ CD4 T cells and in lupus model (NZB x W) F1 mice. Thus, when CD4 T cells are overstimulated by an external disturbance, i.e., repeatedly stimulated with antigen, to levels that surpass the system’s self-organized criticality, these cells express DOCK8 on the cell surface and acquire autoreactivity via TCR re-revision at the periphery. These DOCK8+ CD4 T cells subsequently induce a variety of autoantibodies and SLE.

B cell signature during inactive systemic lupus

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosous (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with an important clinical and biological heterogeneity. B lymphocytes appear central to the development of SLE which is characterized by the production of a large variety of autoantibodies and hypergammaglobulinemia. In mice, immature B cells from spontaneous lupus prone animals are able to produce autoantibodies when transferred into immunodeficient mice, strongly suggesting the existence of intrinsic B cell defects during lupus. In order to approach these defects in humans, we compared the peripheral B cell transcriptomes of quiescent lupus patients to normal B cell transcriptomes. 17 patients with quiescent lupus (patient1-17) versus 9 controls (Control1-6,Control8-10).

RNA-seq of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) derived from normal healthy donors and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), also known simply as lupus, is an autoimmune disease. There is no cure for SLE. The mechanism involves an immune response by autoantibodies against a person's own tissues. However, the mechanism underlying imbalance of autoantibodies is not clear. In this experiment, peripheral blood was obtained from normal healthy donors and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were separated by Ficoll separation solution. Samples of four (total eight) donors were pooled and Samples of four (total eight) SLE patients were pooled. The aim was to characterize the mRNA profile of SLE patients compared to healthy donors and find the new target of diagnosis or treatment for SLE.

DOCK8 enforces immunological tolerance by promoting IL-2 signaling and immune synapse formation in Treg cells

Project description:Patients deficient in the guanine nucleotide exchange factor DOCK8 have decreased numbers and impaired in vitro function of T regulatory (Treg) cells and make autoantibodies, but seldom develop autoimmunity. We show that similarly, Dock8-/- mice have decreased numbers and impaired in vitrofunction of Treg cells, but do not develop autoimmunity. In contrast, mice with selective DOCK8 deficiency in Treg cells develop lymphoproliferation, autoantibodies, and gastrointestinal inflammation, despite normal percentage and in vitro function of Treg cells, suggesting that deficient T effector cell function might protect DOCK8 deficient patients from autoimmunity. We demonstrate that DOCK8 associates with STAT5 and is important for IL-2 driven STAT5 phosphorylation in Treg cells. DOCK8 localizes within the lamellar actin ring of the Treg cell immune synapse (IS). Dock8-/- Treg cells have abnormal TCR-driven actin dynamics, decreased adhesiveness, altered gene expression profile, an unstable IS with decreased recruitment of signaling molecules, and impaired transendocytosis of the co-stimulatory molecule CD86. These data suggest that DOCK8 enforces immunological tolerance by promoting IL-2 signaling, TCR-driven actin dynamics, and the IS in Treg cells.

Lupus milieu favors the conversion of self-reactive CD8 T cells to IL-17 producing double negative T cells

Project description:Mature double negative (DN) T cells are αβ T cells lacking CD4/CD8 coreceptors and expanded in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is not known whether they display a narrow or expander TCR repertoire.

RNA-seq study reveals unique transcriptome expression in systemic lupus erythematosus patients with distinct autoantibody profile

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus patients exhibit remarkable heterogeneity in clinical manifestations and autoantibody repertoires. This complexity poses major barrier in diagnosis and effective treatment of SLE. To address this we studied the SLE patients in groups categorized on the basis of distinct sera autoantibodies. SLE patients were segregated into three group based on the presence of autoantibodies against i) dsDNA only ii) ENA (extractable nuclear antigens) only or iii) both.

Interleukin 10 and succinate synergize to provide B cell help in human lupus

Project description:Autoantibodies against nucleic acids are a hallmark of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. We recently uncovered that human oxidized DNA of mitochondrial origin released by activated lupus neutrophils represents a distinct class of interferogenic TLR9 ligand for plasmacytoid dendritic cells. We now show that oxidized mitochondrial DNA-activated plasmacytoid dendritic cells skew naïve CD4+ T cells towards IL2low, IFNγhigh, IL10high secreting B helper cells different from follicular helper and Type 1 regulatory CD4+ T cells. Furthermore, PD1-induced succinate and mitochondrial ROS accumulation revoke anergy, while IL10 and succinate synergize to deliver B cell help. We provide evidence that IL10-producing CD4+ T cells infiltrate the SLE kidney insterstitium, where they might play a role in extrafollicular B cell responses. Thus, we describe a novel B cell helper pathway that links innate and adaptive immunity alterations in human lupus.

Neoself-antigens are the primary target for autoreactive T cells in human lupus

Project description:Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) is the most significant genetic risk factor for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but the nature of the self-antigens that trigger autoimmunity remains unclear. Unusual self-antigens, termed neoself-antigens, are presented on MHC-II in the absence of the invariant chain essential for peptide presentation. Here, we demonstrate that neoself-antigens are the primary target for autoreactive T cells clonally expanded in SLE. When neoself-antigen presentation was induced by deleting the invariant chain in adult mice, neoself-reactive T cells were clonally expanded, leading to the development of lupus-like disease. Furthermore, we found that neoself-reactive CD4+ T cells were significantly expanded in SLE patients. A high frequency of Epstein-Barr virus reactivation is a risk factor for SLE. Neoself-reactive lupus T cells were activated by Epstein-Barr-virus-reactivated cells through downregulation of the invariant chain. Together, our findings imply that neoself-antigen presentation by MHC-II plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of SLE.
