Transcriptomic signature of treatment with recombinant laminin 511-E8 and acetazolamide in human H69 cholangiocytes

ABSTRACT: IgG4-related cholangitis (IRC) is the hepatobiliary manifestation of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), a systemic, B-cell driven, fibroinflammatory disorder. To date, numerous autoantigens have been described including laminin 511-E8 and carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzymes (PMID 30089633, 15647194). Laminin 511-E8 is an extracellular matrix protein that has been shown to upregulate secretory components and aid in the cholangiocyte differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (PMID 27103433). Carbonic anhydrase enzymes catalyse the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide, thereby producing bicarbonate and a single proton. In humans there are 14 different CA isoforms with a confined subcellular distribution. All isoforms can be targeted by the pan-CA inhibitor acetazolamide, which is a registered drug for multiple indications. We aimed to investigate the role of IgG4-RD autoantigens laminin 511-E8 and CA enzymes in human cholangiocytes. Transcriptional profiling may provide insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of these proteins on the cholangiocellular level. Thus, by RNA sequencing the transcriptomic signature of recombinant laminin 511-E8 and acetazolamide treatment was assessed in human H69 cholangiocytes.

Project description:<Objective> To compare gene expression in labial salivary glands (LSG) of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) with SjM-CM-6grenM-bM-^@M-^Ys syndrome (SS). <Methods> Gene expression was analyzed by DNA microarray in LSG of IgG4-RD (n=5), SS (n=5), and healthy controls (n=3). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in IgG4-RD and SS were identified, and gene-annotation enrichment analysis of these DEGs was performed using Gene Ontology (GO) annotation. Validation of the result was performed by quantitative PCR using LSG from IgG4-RD (n=9), SS (n=10), and controls (n=4). <Results> Gene expression patterns in IgG4-RD, SS, and healthy controls were quite different with each other in hierarchical clustering as well as principal component analysis. In IgG4-RD, 1771 up-regulated probe sets (corresponding to 1321 up-regulated genes) and 1785 down-regulated probe sets (corresponding to 1320 down-regulated genes) were identified as DEGs (false discovery rate <0.05). GO term analysis indicated that the up-regulated set of DEGs in IgG4-RD encoded proteins that function in cell proliferation, extracellular matrix organization, and organ development. PCR validated significantly higher expression of lactotransferrin (LTF) in IgG4-RD than SS (P<0.05), and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 18 (CCL18) in IgG4-RD than SS and controls (P<0.05). <Conclusion> The results clearly showed that the gene expression pattern in LSG of IgG4-RD is different from that of SS. LSG samples were collected from 5 Japanese patients with IgG4-RD, as well as from 5 Japanese patients with SS who had been followed up at University of Tsukuba Hospital (Ibaraki, Japan). All patients with IgG4-RD satisfied the comprehensive diagnostic criteria for IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) 2011 proposed by the All Japan IgG4 team [3]. The diagnosis of IgG4-RD was based on the presence of all three items; 1) clinical examination showing characteristic diffuse/localized swelling or masses in single or multiple organs, 2) Hematological examination shows elevated serum IgG4 concentrations (135 mg/dl), 3) Histopathologic examination shows: (1) Marked lymphocyte and plasmacyte infiltration and fibrosis. (2) Infiltration of IgG4+ plasma cells: ratio of IgG4+/IgG+ cells > 40% and >10 IgG4+ plasma cells/HPF. All patients with SS satisfied the Japanese Ministry of Health criteria for the diagnosis of SS (1999) [4]. These criteria included four clinicopathological findings: lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary or lacrimal glands, dysfunction of salivary secretion, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, and presence of anti-SS-A or SS-B antibodies. The diagnosis of SS was based on the presence of two or more of the above four items. Approval for this study was obtained from the local ethics committee and a signed informed consent was obtained from each subject.
