GM-CSF drives immune-mediated glomerular disease by licensing monocyte-derived cells to produce MMP12

ABSTRACT: Glomerulonephritis is a group of immune-mediated diseases that cause inflammation within the glomerulus and adjacent compartments of the kidney and is a major cause of end-stage renal disease. T cells are among the main drivers of glomerulonephritis. However, the T cell subsets, cytokine networks, and downstream effector mechanisms that lead to renal tissue injury are largely unknown, which has hindered the development of targeted therapies. Here, we identify a population of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)–producing T cells that accumulates in the kidneys of patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated glomerulonephritis, infiltrates the renal tissue in a mouse model of glomerulonephritis, and promotes tissue destruction and loss of renal function. Mechanistically, we show that GM-CSF–producing T cells license monocyte-derived cells to produce matrix metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12), which cleaves components of the glomerular basement membrane and exacerbates renal pathology. Moreover, targeting GM-CSF or MMP12 reduced disease severity in mice with glomerulonephritis. Together, these findings provide a mechanistic rationale for the immunopathology of T cell–mediated diseases and identify this GM-CSF monocyte–derived cells–MMP12 axis as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of glomerulonephritis.

CC chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18) is associated with disease activity and relapse in ANCA-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis

Project description:Anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis is the most frequent cause of crescentic glomerulonephritis. Histopathologic features and clinical course of the disease are diverse and judgment of disease activity is often limited due to the lack of reliable activity markers. In order to define potentially new molecular or cellular markers in the kidney which may predict clinical outcome, we performed microarray analyses of renal biopsies from patients with ANCA-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis. We correlated expression profiles with clinical data from our prospective study of patients with renal ANCA disease. The CC chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18) was one of the most up-regulated proteins in kidneys of patients with ANCA-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis. CCL18 producing cells in the kidneys were identified as CD68 and CD209 positive myeloid dendritic cells. The density of CCL18 positive cells correlated with the severity of acute tubular injury and with the impairment of renal function. CCL18 protein levels were elevated in serum samples of patients with renal ANCA disease when compared with patients with non- ANCA-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis. Persistence of high CCL18 serum levels correlated with impairment of renal function and the risk of relapsing disease. Therefore, CCL18 might serve as a marker for persistent disease activity and renal relapses in ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Immune profiling-based targeting of pathogenic T cells with ustekinumab in ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis

Project description:Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis is a life-threatening autoimmune disease that often results in kidney failure caused by crescentic glomerulonephritis (ANCA-GN). To date, treatment of most patients with ANCA-GN relies on unspecific immunosuppressive agents that harbor serious adverse effects and limited efficiency. Using spatial and single-cell transcriptome analysis we characterized inflammatory niches in the kidneys of 34 patients with ANCA-GN and idenjpgied proinflammatory cytokine producing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells as a key pathogenic tissue signature. By employing digital pharmacology we then idenjpgied ustekinumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting IL-12 and IL-23 in these T cells, as promising therapeutic avenue. Based on these findings, four patients with relapsing ANCA-GN were treated with ustekinumab in combination with low-dose cyclophosphamide. Ustekinumab was given subcutaneously (90 mg) at weeks 0, 4, 12, and 24 and clinical and renal response were evaluated at week 26. Treatment induced substantial clinical response in all ANCA-GN patients, with improvements in kidney function, and Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score, and was well tolerated. Our findings suggest that the pathogenesis-based treatment of ANCA-GN patients with ustekinumab is efficacious and warrants further investigation in clinical trials.

RNA sequencing of CD45-negative cells isolated from CNS and lung of GM-CSFind x CD4-CreERT2 and control mice

Project description:Elevated frequencies of GM-CSF-producing helper T (TH) cells are consistently found in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and GM-CSF expression is a non-redundant feature of pathogenic TH cells in preclinical models of MS. GM-CSF activates an inflammatory signature in monocytes, and their progeny are the most abundant cellular infiltrate in acute MS lesions. To model deregulated GM-CSF levels, we generated a transgenic mouse line allowing the induction of GM-CSF expression in mature, peripheral TH cells. This antigen-independent GM-CSF release induced severe neurological deficits with almost 100% penetrance, accompanied by the infiltration of inflammatory monocyte-derived myeloid cells into the brain stem and spinal cord. Other organs did not show obvious signs for clinical pathology, despite also being infiltrated by inflammatory myeloid cells. We aim to unravel differences between organs, their responses by sequencing CD45-negative tissue cells isolate from the CNS and the lung.

We aim to unravel differences between organs, their responses and also the potential of tissue destruction by infiltrating cells by sequencing inflammatory myeloid cells isolate from the individual organs.

Pathogen-induced tissue-resident memory TH17 (TRM17) cells amplify autoimmune kidney disease

Project description:Although it is well established that microbial infections predispose to autoimmune diseases, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. After infection, tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells persist in peripheral organs and provide immune protection against reinfection. However, whether TRMcells participate in responses unrelated to the primary infection, such as autoimmune inflammation, is unknown. By using high-dimensional single-cell analysis, we identified CD4+TRMcells with a TH17 signature (termed TRM17 cells) in kidneys of patients with ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis. Experimental models demonstrated that renal TRM17 cells were induced by pathogens infecting the kidney, such asStaphylococcus aureus,Candida albicans, and uropathogenicEscherichia coli, and persisted after the clearance of infections. Upon induction of experimental glomerulonephritis, these kidney TRM17 cells rapidly responded to local proinflammatory cytokines by producing IL-17A and thereby exacerbate renal pathology. Thus, our data show that pathogen-induced TRM17 cells have a previously unrecognized function in aggravating autoimmune disease.

To date, treatment of most patients with ANCA-GN relies on unspecific immunosuppressive agents that harbor serious adverse effects and limited efficiency. By performing spatial and single-cell transcriptome analysis, we characterized inflammatory niches in the kidneys of 34 patients with ANCA-GN and identified pro-inflammatory, cytokine producing CD4+ (TH1 and TH17 subsets) and CD8+ T cells (TC1 and TC17-like subsets) as a key pathogenic signature. Digital pharmacology identified ustekinumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting IL-12 and IL-23 in these T cells, as the most promising therapeutic drug to target. Based on these findings, four patients with relapsing ANCA-GN were treated with ustekinumab in combination with low-dose cyclophosphamide.
