Interferon subverts an AHR-JUN axis to promote CXCL13+ T cells in lupus [AHR]

ABSTRACT: SLE is prototypical autoimmune disease driven by pathologic T cell-B cell interactions. Expansion of B cell-helper T cells including T follicular helper (Tfh) and T peripheral helper (Tph) cells is a prominent feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Human Tfh and Tph cells characteristically produce high levels of the B cell chemoattractant CXCL135,6, yet regulation of T cell CXCL13 production and the relationship between CXCL13+ T cells and other T cell states remains unclear. Here, we identify an imbalance in CD4 T cell phenotypes in SLE patients, with expansion of PD-1+/ICOS+ CXCL13+ T cells and reduction of CD96hi IL-22+ T cells. Using CRISPR screens, we identify the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) as a potent negative regulator of CXCL13 production by human CD4 T cells. Transcriptomic, epigenetic, and functional studies demonstrate that AHR coordinates with AP-1 family member JUN to prevent CXCL13+ Tph/Tfh cell differentiation and promote an IL-22+ phenotype. Type I interferon (IFN), a pathogenic driver of SLE7, opposes AHR and JUN to promote T cell production of CXCL13. These results place CXCL13+ Tph/Tfh cells on a polarization axis opposite from Th22 cells and reveal AHR, JUN, and IFN as key regulators of these divergent T cell states.

Interferon subverts an AHR-JUN axis to promote CXCL13+ T cell in lupus [Time_coure_RNAseq]

Project description:Expansion of B cell-helper T cells including T follicular helper (Tfh) and T peripheral helper (Tph) cells is a prominent feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a prototypical autoimmune disease with broad autoantibody production. Human Tfh and Tph cells are marked by high production of the B cell chemoattractant CXCL13, yet regulation of T cell CXCL13 production and the relationship between a CXCL13+ state and other differentiated T cell states remains largely undefined. Here, we identify a dramatic imbalance in CD4 T cell phenotypes in SLE patients, with expansion of PD-1+/ICOS+ CXCL13+ T cells and reduction of CD96hi IL-22+ T cells. Using CRISPR screens, we identify the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) as a potent negative regulator of CXCL13 production by human CD4 T cells.

Gene expression of primary human T Follicular Helper (TFH) cells and naive CD4-positive helper T cells from tonsils of healthy volunteers

Project description:In this experiment we generated Affymetrix gene expression data for T Follicular Helper (TFH) cells from tonsils of healthy volunteers (4 biological replicates) and naive CD4-positive helper T cells (2 biological replicates). TFH cells provide a model relevant to SLE as TFH operate upstream of the activation of pathogenic autoantibody-producing B cells during the disease. This experiment accompanies promoter capture-C and ATAC-seq experiments on the same cell types.

Peripheral blood T helper cells circulate with pathogenic tissue resident T helper cells in chronic GVHD

Project description:Chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) is a systemic autoimmune-like syndrome. The role of Tph cells in the pathogenesis of cGVHD has not been examined, although previous studies have shown that cGVHD is characterized by loss of Tfh cells. Here, we show that in cGVHD patients and in a murine model that reflects characteristic features of human cGVHD, the proportions of Tph cells among CD4+ T cells in the blood were expanded. These cells augmented memory B cell differentiation and production of IgG via IL-21. Adoptive transfer experiments showed recirculation between Tph in the blood and tissue-resident T helper (Trh) cells in GVHD target tissues. The TCR repertoires of blood Tph cells and Trh cells in GVHD target tissues of mice were highly overlapping.

Non-coding autoimmune risk variant accelerates T peripheral helper cell development via ICOS

Project description:Fine-mapping and functional studies implicate rs117701653, a common non-coding variant in the CD28/CTLA4/ICOS locus, as a contributor to risk for rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. Using DNA pulldown, mass spectrometry, genome editing and eQTL analysis, we establish that the disease-associated allele reduces affinity for the inhibitory chromosomal regulator SMCHD1 to drive expression of inducible T-cell costimulator (ICOS), enhancing memory CD4+ T cell ICOS expression in individuals bearing the risk allele. Higher ICOS expression is paralleled by an increase in circulating T peripheral helper (Tph) cells, and in rheumatoid arthritis patients, of blood and joint fluid Tph cells and circulating plasmablasts, suggesting a causal link. Indeed, ICOS ligation accelerates T cell differentiation into CXCR5-PD-1high Tph cells producing IL-21 and CXCL13, as does carriage of the rs117701653 risk allele. Thus, mechanistic dissection of a causal non-coding variant in human autoimmunity discloses a new pathway through which ICOS regulates Tph abundance.

ATAC-seq of primary human T Follicular Helper (TFH) cells and naive CD4-positive helper T cells from tonsils of healthy volunteers

Project description:Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have been successful in yielding >60 loci for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). However, it is known that GWAS just reports genomic signals and not necessarily the precise localization of culprit genes, with eQTL efforts only able to infer causality to a minority of such loci. Thus, we sought to carry out physical and direct ‘variant to gene mapping’ by integrating results from high-throughput chromatin conformation capture and ATAC-seq assays. This experiment refers to the ATAC-seq part of our work. To determine informative proxy SNPs for each of the SLE GWAS sentinel loci, we generated ATAC-seq open chromatin maps for primary human T Follicular Helper (TFH) cells from tonsils of healthy volunteers (3 biological replicates), a model relevant to SLE as TFH operate upstream of the activation of pathogenic autoantibody-producing B cells during the disease. We also generated open chromatin maps for naive CD4-positive helper T cells (3 biological replicates).

Spontaneous Tfh cells in lupus mice vs B6/J

Project description:Autoimmune T follicular helper (Tfh) cells have different properties from B6/J nonautoimmune tfh cells. To compare differences in Tfh cells due to ongoing SLE disease, spontaneous splenic Tfh (CD4+CXCR5+PD-1+) were cell sorted from a pre-enriched population of negatively isolated total CD4 cells by autoMACS. New zealand derived triple congenic lupus strain was compared with B6/J. RNA was immediately extracted with no culturing or treatment of cells.
