Project description:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic pruritic inflammatory skin disease. We recently described an animal model in which repeated epicutaneous applications of a house dust mite extract and Staphylococcal enterotoxin B induced eczematous skin lesions. In this study we showed that global gene expression patterns are very similar between human AD skin and allergen/staphylococcal enterotoxin B–induced mouse skin lesions, particularly in the expression of genes related to epidermal growth/differentiation, skin barrier, lipid/energy metabolism, immune response, or extracellular matrix. In this model, mast cells and T cells, but not B cells or eosinophils, were shown to be required for the full expression of dermatitis, as revealed by reduced skin inflammation and reduced serum IgE levels in mice lacking mast cells or T cells (TCRb-/- or Rag1-/-). The clinical severity of dermatitis correlated with the numbers of mast cells, but not eosinophils. Consistent with the idea that T helper type 2 (Th2) cells play a predominant role in allergic diseases, the receptor for the Th2-promoting cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin and the high-affinity IgE receptor, FceRI, were required to attain maximal clinical scores. Therefore, this clinically relevant model provides mechanistic insights into the pathogenic mechanism of human AD. A total of six samples were analyzed. Back skin samples from healthy or AD-induced C57BL/6, PLC-beta 3 KO (C57BL/6 background), and NC/Nga mice were collected for total RNA extraction. Pooled RNA from 2-4 mice per condition were used for analysis.

Project description:<p>The NIH Intramural Skin Microbiome Consortium (NISMC) is a collaboration of investigators with primary expertise in genomics, bioinformatics, large-scale DNA sequencing, dermatology, immunology, allergy, infectious disease, and clinical microbiology. Atopic dermatitis (AD, "eczema") is a chronic relapsing skin disorder that affects ~15% of U.S. children and is associated with $1 billion of medical costs annually. AD is characterized by dry, itchy skin, infiltrated with immune cells. Colonization by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is ten-fold more common in AD patients and is associated with disease flares. We hypothesize that, in addition to S. aureus, AD may also be associated with additional novel microbes and/or selective shifts of commensal microbes that are relevant to disease progression. The NISMC seeks to define the microbiota that resides in and on the skin and nares of three patient groups, all of whom have eczematous lesions and are currently seen at the NIH Clinical Center: (1) AD patients; (2) Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) patients; and (3) Hyper IgE syndrome (HIES) syndrome patients. Examination of the microbiome of patients with WAS or HIES syndromes, both rare immunodeficiencies, will advance our understanding of how an individual's immune system shapes their cutaneous microbial community. We are performing a prospective longitudinal study that follows these groups of patient thorough the cycles of eczema flares, ascertaining clinical data and samples at each stage.</p>

Project description:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disorder, characterized by intense itch and recurrent eczematous lesions. Due to lack of proper therapy, the strategies of T cell modulators in combination with targeting keratinocytes and/or myeloid cells might hold promise for achieving disease control in AD patients better than T cell modulators alone. we used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during HY209 treatment in mouse skin

Project description:Skeletal deformities are typical clinical manifestations of autosomal dominant hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome (AD-HIES), but the treatment is still limited. AD-HIES is mainly caused by dominant-negative mutations in signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). Clarifying the mechanisms by which STAT3 inactivation destructs bone metabolism is, therefore, important. Although, a few lines of data indicate osteoporosis induced by STAT3 inactivation may be related to increased osteoclast activity, here, we firstly report that deletion of Stat3 in osteoblasts, but not in osteoclasts, induced AD-HIES-like bone defects, including craniofacial malformation, osteoporosis, and spontaneous bone fracture in mice, and these defects were resulted from impaired osteogenesis induced by STAT3 inactivation in osteoblasts, but not increased osteoclast activity. Mechanistic analysis revealed a novel regulatory model in which STAT3 drove osteoblast differentiation via promoting distal-less homeobox 5 transcription in cooperation with MSX1. Furthermore, inducible deletion of Stat3 in osteoblasts also inhibited osteogenesis and induced bone loss in adult mice. Meaningfully, pharmacological inhibition of STAT3 induced bone loss, while activation of STAT3 partially prevent bone loss due to tail sus-pension. Taken together, STAT3 is critical for both modulating skeletal development and maintaining bone homeostasis, and inactivation of STAT3 in osteoblasts, but not in osteoclasts, induced AD-HIES-related skeletal deformities by impairing osteogenesis, providing new insights for their treatment.

Project description:Heterozygous in-frame mutations in coding regions of human STAT3 underlie the only known autosomal dominant form of hy- per IgE syndrome (AD HIES). About 5% of familial cases remain unexplained. The mutant proteins are loss-of-function and dominant-negative when tested following overproduction in re- cipient cells. However, the production of mutant proteins has not been detected and quantified in the cells of heterozygous pa- tients. We report a deep intronic heterozygous STAT3 mutation, c.1282-89C>T, in 7 relatives with AD HIES. This mutation creates a new exon in the STAT3 complementary DNA, which, when over- expressed, generates a mutant STAT3 protein (D427ins17) that is loss-of-function and dominant-negative in terms of tyrosine phos- phorylation, DNA binding, and transcriptional activity. In immor- talized B cells from these patients, the D427ins17 protein was 2 kDa larger and 4-fold less abundant than wild-type STAT3, on mass spectrometry. The patients’ primary B and T lymphocytes responded poorly to STAT3-dependent cytokines. These findings are reminiscent of the impaired responses of leukocytes from other patients with AD HIES due to typical STAT3 coding muta- tions, providing further evidence for the dominance of the mutant intronic allele. These findings highlight the importance of sequenc- ing STAT3 introns in patients with HIES without candidate variants in coding regions and essential splice sites. They also show that AD HIES-causing STAT3 mutant alleles can be dominant-negative even if the encoded protein is produced in significantly smaller amounts than wild-type STAT3.

Project description:Background: DOCK8 deficiency is an autosomal recessive form of hyperimmunoglobulinemia E syndrome (HIES). Severe atopic dermatitis (AD) shares with DOCK8 deficiency some clinical symptoms, including eczema, eosinophilia, and increased serum IgE levels. The deficiency of DOCK8 protein is potentially a life-threatening autosomal recessive HIES and only curable with bone marrow transplantation. Despite identified metabolomics and cytokine biomarkers, novel proteomics biomarkers need to be identified, as the connecting networks are critical to our understanding of this disease. Hence we performed serum proteomics profiling using LC-MSE SynaptG2. Method: Label-free untargeted proteomics analysis was used to identify potentially reliable, sensitive, and specific protein biomarkers in serum collected from DOCK8 (n=10), AD (n=9) patients, which were compared to ctrls (n=5). Results: From a total of 275 quantifiable proteins, binary comparisons between AD vs. Ctrl, DOCK8 vs. Ctrl, and DOCK8 vs. AD revealed 109, 105 and 85 dysregulated proteins, respectively. 24 among 85 proteins were specific potential biomarkers among the DOCK8 and AD groups. The sensitivity and specificity of few proteins like Claspin, Immunoglobulin kappa and heavy, complement components as potential biomarkers to distinguish between DOCK8 and AD patients were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve. DOCK8 deficiency and AD groups' profiling revealed a shared role of ERK1/2 among the commonly dysregulated proteins. Conclusion: In this study, we have identified potential proteomics biomarkers and profile to distinguish between DOCK8 and AD, with possible diagnostic and therapeutic applications to help create effective interventions for managing these diseases. Further studies to confirm these associations in prospective cohorts are warranted.

Project description:Low environmental humidity aggravates symptoms of inflammatory skin diseases, e.g. of Atopic Dermatitis (AD). Using mice that develop AD-like symptoms, we show that an increase in environmental humidity rapidly rescues their cutaneous inflammation and associated epidermal abnormalities. Quantitative proteomics analysis of epidermal lysates of mice kept at low or high humidity identified novel humidity-regulated proteins, including Clca2/Clca3a2, a protein with previously unknown function in the skin.

Project description:A mutation in the Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) has been linked to incidence of Autosomal Dominant Hyper Immunoglobulin E Syndrome (AD-HIES), a disease characterized by elevated serum IgE antibody. However, how this genetic mutation leads to the phenotype has not been fully understood. We investigated the specific role of STAT3 in the germinal center (GC) B cells and plasma cells for IgE class switching. Through the use of STAT3 conditional knockout mice in a Th2-type immunization model, we demonstrated that CD2-Cre driven STAT3 cKO mice showed elevated IgE and decreased IgG1 in the serum, and a reduction in GC formation. Within the GC, IgG1+ GC B cells were decreased while IgE+ GC B cells were more prevalent. Additionally, these mice exhibited reduced IgG1 and elevated IgE populations of antibody-producing plasma cells. Subsequent experiments using a CD19-Cre B-cell specific cKO mouse established this effect to be B-cell intrinsic. Transcription factors critical for GC and plasma cell differentiation, including Bcl-6 and Aicda, were shown to function as downstream signals of STAT3 regulation. Further ChIP-seq analysis revealed that many genes including Bcl3 and Crtc2 were among the direct STAT3 regulated targets. Mice with STAT3 deficiency in B cells also demonstrated an increase in lung inflammation when used in an asthma-like disease model. This model suggests a negative role for STAT3 in regulating class switching of the GC B cells from the IgG1 to the IgE producing state, which may serve as a therapeutic target for treatment of AD-HIES and other immune disorders.
