Repertoire analysis of the repertoire of insulin-reactive B cells in type 1 diabetes-prone mice

ABSTRACT: Seropositivity for autoantibodies against islet autoantigens is associated with the development of autoimmune type 1 diabetes and B cell targeted therapies are effective in both mouse models and in patients who are affected by or at risk for autoimmune type 1 diabetes. The role of B cell receptor affinity in autoimmune type 1 diabetes is unclear. Here, we employed single cell RNA sequencing to define the relationship between B cell receptor affinity for insulin and B cell phenotype during disease development using immunoglobulin heavy chain (VH125) transgenic mouse model (VH125.NOD) in which insulin binding B cells lose self-tolerance, becoming activated during development of autoimmmun type 1 diabetes.

Proteomics analysis for the study of beta cell adaptation to stress in mice deficient for insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE)

Project description:Appropriate tuning of protein homeostasis through mobilization of the unfolded protein response (UPR) is key to the capacity of pancreatic beta cells to cope with highly variable demand for insulin synthesis. An efficient UPR ensures a sufficient beta cell mass and secretory output but can also affect beta cell resilience to autoimmune aggression. However, the factors regulating protein homeostasis in the face of metabolic and immune challenges are insufficie tly understood. We examined beta cell adaptation to stress in mice deficient for insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), a ubiquitous protease with high affinity for insulin, a putative ill-defined role in protein homeostasis, and genetic association with type 2 diabetes. IDE deficiency induces a low-level UPR in both standard and autoimmune non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, associated with rapamycin-sensitive beta cell proliferation, as well as protection from diabetes in NOD mice. Moreover, in NOD islets, IDE deficiency specifically induces strong upregulation of regenerating islet-derived protein 2, a protein attenuating inflammation and protecting from autoimmunity. Our findings establish a role of IDE in islet cell protein homeostasis, corroborate the link between low-level UPR and proliferation, and identify an anti-inflammatory islet cell response uncovered in the absence of IDE of potential interest in autoimmune diabetes.

mRNA expression profile of medullary thymic epithelial cells-mTECs- of BALBc mice

Project description:The medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) express virtually all autoantigens of the body. This phenomenon was then termed promiscuous gene expression (PGE). A large set of autoantigen genes (but not all) is controlled by the transcriptional modulator Autoimmune regulator (Aire) in mTECs. These autoantigens represent all tissues and organs in the thymus and it is implicated in the negative selection of autoreactive thymocytes, and consequantly preventing autoreactive autoimmune reactions and autoimmune diseases (e.g. type 1 diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus). Thus, we are looking at gene expression in thse cells because it is very important to better understand the molecular basis of central immune tolerance to normal tissues and organs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible link between the expression of the transcriptional regulator Aire, the genetic background of mouse strains and the promiscuous gene expression in mTECs.

The pancreatic islet MHC-II peptidome identifies key features of autoimmune peptides

Project description:The nature of autoantigens that trigger autoimmune diseases has been much discussed but direct biochemical identification is lacking for most. Addressing this question demands unbiased examination of the self-peptides displayed by a defined autoimmune MHC-II molecule. We have examined the immunopeptidome of the pancreatic islets of the NOD mouse that spontaneously develops autoimmune diabetes based on its MHC-II, the I-Ag7 variant. The relevant peptides that induced early CD4 T cells derived from insulin and C-peptide; these were also found in the MHC-II peptidome of the pancreatic lymph node and spleen. The insulin-derived peptides followed a trajectory from internal processing in beta cells to exocytosis, uptake, and presentation in islets and peripheral sites. Such process not only generated conventional epitopes but also resulted in presentation of post-translationally modified peptides, including deamidated and fused sequences. These analyses reveal the key features of a restricted component in the self-MHC-II peptidome causing autoreactivity.

A critical insulin TCR contact residue selects high affinity and pathogenic insulin specific T cells

Project description:Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune mediated disease that culminates in the targeted destruction of insulin producing β cells. CD4 responses in non-obese diabetic mice are dominated by InsB9-23 specificity, and mutation of the key TCR contact residue within the epitope prevents diabetes development. However, it is not clear how insulin self-antigen controls the selection of autoimmune and T regulatory cells. Here we demonstrate that mutation of insulin epitope results in escape of highly pathogenic T cells. We observe an increase in antigen reactivity, clonality and pathogenicity of insulin specific T cells that develop in the absence of cognate antigen. Using single TCR system, we demonstrate that Treg development is greatly diminished in mice with Y16A mutant epitope. Collectively, these results suggest that the tyrosine residue at position 16 is necessary to constrain TCR reactivity for InsB9-23 by both limiting the development of pathogenic T cells and supporting the selection of regulatory T cells.

Over expression of mRNA for multiple genes including insulin in the PLN of NOD is associated with Islet Autoimmunity

Project description:The aim of this study is to identify genes implicated in the early steps of the autoimmune process, prior to inflammation in type 1 diabetes. Early Insulin AutoAntibodies (E-IAA) have been used as subphenotypic marker to select individual animals as type 1 diabetes prone and to compare gene expression patterns with insulin autoantibody negative NOD. Variation of gene expression patterns in the pancreatic lymph nodes (PLN) issued from E-IAA positive and negative mice have been analyzed by DNA microarrays PLN were used from 5 weeks old NOD mice positive for Insulin Autoantibodies and compared with animals negative for Insulin AutoAntibodies

Identification of spliced peptides in pancreatic islets uncovers errors leading to false assignments

Project description:Spliced peptides have been identified in the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) peptidomes of several tumors and have emerged as novel autoantigens that can stimulate highly specific T cells. A special class of spliced peptides, hybrid insulin peptides (HIPs), bound to histocompatibility class II molecules are potential autoantigens in the development and progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Recently, our laboratory demonstrated that HIPs are formed during insulin granule degradation in crinosomes isolated from nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. In our current work, we have expanded this study to examine crinosomes from two other nondiabetic mouse strains, B6 and B6.g7, to prove that HIP formation is a consequence of normal insulin granule degradation and is independent of T1D. During the course of this work, we discovered that modified peptides comprise a significant source of false positive HIP assignments in our bioinformatics pipeline and posited that similar factors could explain the high percentage of spliced peptides in recent mass spectrometry-based studies of various tumor immunopeptidomes. Therefore, we re-analyzed data files from two recent studies that reported a large percentage of spliced peptides and demonstrated that both analyses contain many spectra erroneously assigned to spliced peptide sequences.

Proinsulin degradation and presentation of a proinsulin B-chain autoantigen involves ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD)-enzyme UBE2G2

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by HLA class I-mediated presentation of autoantigens on the surface of pancreatic β-cells. Recognition of these autoantigens by CD8¬¬+ T cells results in the destruction of pancreatic β-cells and, consequently, insulin deficiency. Most epitopes presented at the surface of β-cells derive from the insulin precursor molecule proinsulin. The intracellular processing pathway(s) involved in the generation of these peptides are poorly defined. In this study, we show that a proinsulin B-chain antigen (PPIB5-14) originates from proinsulin molecules that are processed by ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) and thus originate from ER-resident proteins. Furthermore, screening genes encoding for E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzymes, we identified UBE2G2 to be involved in proinsulin degradation. These results indicate that insulin-derived peptides, presented by HLA-class I molecules at the cell surface, originate from ER-resident proinsulin that has been dislocated to the cytosol for subsequent degradation. These insights into the pathway involved in the generation of insulin-derived peptides emphasize the importance of proinsulin processing in the ER to T1D pathogenesis and identify novel targets for future therapies that may cure or even prevent T1D.

Genome-Wide Gene Expression Profiles in the Pancreatic Lymph Nodes of At-Risk Autoantibody Positive Individuals

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a polygenic autoimmune disorder caused by autoreactive T cells that recognize pancreatic islet antigens and subsequently destroy insulin-producing β-cells. Pancreatic lymph nodes (PLN) are an essential site for the development of T1D, where tolerance to pancreatic self-antigens is first broken and the autoimmune responses are amplified. The purpose of this study was to identify candidate genes and pathways in the PLN that may contribute to the pathogenesis of T1D. Microarray analysis was performed on the PLN of human non-diabetic healthy controls (n=7) and at-risk autoantibody-positive subjects (n=13).

T cell receptor β-chains display abnormal shortening and repertoire sharing in type 1 diabetes

Project description:Defects in T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire are proposed to predispose to autoimmunity. Here we show, by analyzing >2×108 TCRB sequences of circulating naive, central memory, reg- ulatory and stem cell-like memory CD4+ T cell subsets from patients with type 1 diabetes and healthy donors, that patients have shorter TCRB complementarity-determining region 3s (CDR3), in all cell subsets, introduced by increased deletions/reduced insertions during VDJ rearrangement. High frequency of short CDR3s is also observed in unproductive TCRB sequences, which are not subjected to thymic culling, suggesting that the shorter CDR3s arise independently of positive/negative selection. Moreover, TCRB CDR3 clonotypes expressed by autoantigen-specific CD4+ T cells are shorter compared with anti-viral T cells, and with those from healthy donors. Thus, early events in thymic T cell development and repertoire generation are abnormal in type 1 diabetes, which suggest that short CDR3s increase the potential for self-recognition, conferring heightened risk of autoimmune disease.
