Multimodal immune cell phenotyping in gastrointestinal biopsies reveals microbiome-related T cell modulations in human GvHD patients

ABSTRACT: Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) is a significant complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT), but major factors determining disease severity are not well defined yet. By combining multiplexed tissue imaging and single-cell RNA sequencing on gastrointestinal biopsies from aHSCT patients with fecal microbiome analysis, we could link high microbiome diversity and the abundance of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria to the sustenance of suppressive regulatory T cells. Furthermore, aGvHD severity was strongly associated with the clonal expansion of mainly CD8 T cells, which we found distributed over anatomically distant regions of the gut, persistent over time, and inversely correlated with the presence of suppressive Tregs. Overall, our study highlights the pathophysiological importance of expanded CD8 T cell clones in the progression of aGvHD towards more severe clinical manifestations and strongly supports the further development of microbiome interventions as GvHD treatment via repopulation of the gut Treg niche to suppress inflammation.

CD8+ T cell response in the Act-mOVA/OT-I model of acute graft versus host disease

Project description:Lethally irradiated C57Bl/6 Act-mOVA mice receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) from C57Bl/6 OT-I animals develop acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD) in a CD8+ T cell-dependent, reproducible manner, and succumb to the disease within 4-7 days. Tracking of UBC-GFP/OT-I graft CD8+ T cells discloses heavy infiltration of the GI tract, liver and lungs at the onset of the disease, and hallmark histologic features of acute gastrointestinal and hepatic GvHD, and aGVHD-associated lymphocytic bronchitis. This dataset describes gene expression patterns of CD45.1/OT-1 CD8+ T cells retrieved from the graft before (aHSCT + Day 0), and from various target organs of the host after (aHSCT + Day 4) grafting them into Act-mOVA recipients.

Lipocalin-2 expression identifies an immuno-regulatory intestinal neutrophil population during GVHD

Project description:Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a life-threatening complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Strategies to promote intestinal tissue tolerance during aGVHD may improve patient outcomes. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing, we identified a Lipocalin-2 (LCN2)-expressing neutrophil population in mice with intestinal aGVHD. Transfer of LCN2-overexpressing neutrophils or treatment with recombinant LCN2 reduced aGVHD-severity, while the lack of epithelial or hematopoietic LCN2 enhanced aGVHD severity and caused microbiome alterations. Mechanistically, LCN2 induced IGF-1R signaling in macrophages via the LCN2 receptor Slc22A17, which increased IL-10 production while reducing MHC-II expression. Transfer of LCN2-pretreated macrophages reduced aGVHD severity. LCN2-treatment did not reduce graft-versus-leukemia effects. In aGVHD patients LCN2 expression correlated with IL-10 expression in intestinal biopsies. We identified a novel intestinal LCN2+ neutrophil population that reduces aGVHD-severity by decreasing MHC-II expression while increasing IL-10 production in macrophages. Administration of LCN2 presents a novel approach against aGVHD to be tested in clinical trials.

IL-22-dependent dysbiosis and mononuclear phagocyte depletion contribute to steroid-resistant gut graft-versus-host disease in mice I

Project description:CD4+ and CD8+ T cells can reciprocally differentiate into Th/Tc1, Th/Tc17 and Th/Tc22. Although alloreactive Th/Tc1 cells play a critical role in initiating pathogenesis of gut acute graft-versus-host disease (Gut-aGVHD), the pathogenic T cells in steroid-resistant Gut-aGVHD (SR-Gut-aGVHD) remains unclear. Here, we show that in murine models of SR-Gut-aGVHD, the pathogenesis is associated with reduction of IFN-g+ Th/Tc1 and IL-17A+IL-22- Th/Tc17 but expansion of IL-17-IL-22+ Th/Tc22, particularly Tc22 cells. IL-22 from Th/Tc22 cells causes dysbiosis. Using a Gut-aGVHD model induced by alloreactive IFN-g-/- CD8+ T cells, we show that the Gut-aGVHD pathogenesis requires both dysbiosis and depletion of CX3CR1hi mononuclear phagocytes (MNP) that regulate intestinal bacterial translocation. Absence of IFN-g leads to preferential expansion of Tc22 that induce dysbiosis by augmenting RegIIIg production, and depletion of CX3CR1hi MNP via its PD-1 interaction with tissue PD-L1. Interestingly, SR-Gut-aGVHD is also associated with depletion of CX3CR1hi MNP that reduces expansion of Tc22 under steroid treatment. Our studies indicate that expansion of Th/Tc22, dysbiosis, and depletion of CX3CR1hi MNP cells play critical roles in SR-Gut-aGVHD pathogenesis. These results provide new avenue towards studies in patients and call for caution in clinical testing of IL-22 agonists or IFN-g antagonist in patients.

Comparative analysis of skin- and gut-homing CD8+ T cells in aHSCT patients developing acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD)

Project description:Patients diagnosed with cutaneous and/or gastrointestinal aGvHD provide a unique opportunity to perform an in-depth comparison of activated human CD8+ T cells homing to the gut and skin, in some cases even within the same host, at the same time, acting as key players in the same human disease, and exerting their effector functions in these two tissue environments. This study aims at the identification of novel biomarkers associated with skin- and gut-homing CD8+ T cells in general, and CD8+ T cell markers possibly linked to CTL-mediated skin- and gut damage in aGvHD in particular.

Distinctive Transcriptional and Microbial Signature in Cutaneous Acute Graft-vs-Host-Disease

Project description:Skin acute graft-vs-host disease (aGVHD) is often the first manifestation of GVHD, yet very few preclinical and clinical studies have focused on this target organ, leaving a critical information gap in the pathophysiology of GVHD. We hypothesized that analysis of host gene expression and microbiome profiling could yield novel insights into the molecular and immunologic mechanisms underlying skin GVHD. Our objectives were to determine the differential host gene expression and microbiome profile of human skin aGVHD samples compared to normal skin, and aGVHD corticosteroid responders to non-responders. We performed RNA-Sequencing on lower arm biopsies from 45 patients compared to 10 healthy controls. Our findings suggest a distinctive transcriptional signature of cutaneous aGVHD, that could identify potentially actionable targets for prevention or treatment of corticosteroid refractory disease. Our analysis suggests a key role of dendritic cells and macrophages, potentially mediated by differential expression of MIF, in the development of cutaneous aGVHD and corticosteroid responsiveness. Additionally, we describe a unique microbial signature in cutaneous aGVHD that includes skin microbes not previously described in this population.

Opioid-induced gut microbial disruption leads to gut barrier compromise and sustained systemic inflammation.

Project description:Morphine and its pharmacological derivatives are the most prescribed analgesics for moderate to severe pain management. However, chronic use of morphine reduces pathogen clearance and induces bacterial translocation across the gut barrier. The enteric microbiome has been shown to play a critical role in the preservation of the mucosal barrier function and metabolic homeostasis. Here, we show for the first time, using bacterial 16s rDNA sequencing, that chronic morphine treatment significantly alters the gut microbial composition and induces preferential expansion of the gram-positive pathogenic and reduction of bile-deconjugating bacterial strains. A significant reduction in both primary and secondary bile acid levels was seen in the gut, but not in the liver with morphine treatment. Morphine induced microbial dysbiosis and gut barrier disruption was rescued by transplanting placebo-treated microbiota into morphine-treated animals, indicating that microbiome modulation could be exploited as a therapeutic strategy for patients using morphine for pain management. In this study, we establish a link between the two phenomena, namely gut barrier compromise and dysregulated bile acid metabolism. We show for the first time that morphine fosters significant gut microbial dysbiosis and disrupts cholesterol/bile acid metabolism. Changes in the gut microbial composition is strongly correlated to disruption in host inflammatory homeostasis13,14 and in many diseases (e.g. cancer/HIV infection), persistent inflammation is known to aid and promote the progression of the primary morbidity. We show here that chronic morphine, gut microbial dysbiosis, disruption of cholesterol/bile acid metabolism and gut inflammation; have a linear correlation. This opens up the prospect of devising minimally invasive adjunct treatment strategies involving microbiome and bile acid modulation and thus bringing down morphine-mediated inflammation in the host.
