Autoantigen-specific CD4+ T cells acquire an exhausted phenotype and persist in human antigen-specific autoimmune diseases

ABSTRACT: Pro-inflammatory autoantigen-specific CD4+ T helper (auto-Th) cells are central orchestrators of autoimmune diseases (AIDs). We aimed to characterize these cells in human AIDs with defined autoantigens by combining human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-tetramer-based and activation-based multidimensional ex vivo analyses. In aquaporin4-antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4-NMOSD) patients, auto-Th cells expressed CD154, but proliferative capacity and pro-inflammatory cytokines were strongly reduced. Instead, exhaustion-associated co-inhibitory receptors were expressed together with FOXP3, the canonical regulatory T cell (Treg) transcription factor. Auto-Th cells responded in vitro to checkpoint inhibition and provided potent B cell help. Cells with the same exhaustion-like (ThEx) phenotype were identified in soluble liver antigen (SLA)-antibody-autoimmune hepatitis and BP180-antibody-positive bullous pemphigoid, AIDs of the liver and skin, respectively. While originally described in cancer and chronic infection, our data point to T cell exhaustion as a common mechanism of adaptation to chronic (self-)stimulation across AID types and link exhausted CD4+ T cells to humoral autoimmune responses, with implications for therapeutic targeting.

TCA Isotopomers in Neuromyelitis Optica Patients (part - I)

Project description:Patients with an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system known as neuromyelitis optica (NMO) experience increased levels of depression. These patients have an antibody that recognizes a type of cell in the brain called astrocytes – binding of this antibody to astrocytes triggers a stress response in the cell that results in the development of brain lesions that cause disability and cognitive disturbances. We recently observed a change in the level of glutamate in a part of the brain involved in depression in patients with NMO. Glutamate is a chemical that is used in the brain for communication between neurons – reduced levels of glutamate are thought to trigger depression by reducing neuronal activity in specific circuits. Based on this observation and the known role of astrocytes in maintaining glutamate levels in the brain, we hypothesize that the NMO antibody disturbs metabolic activity in astrocytes and thereby reduces glutamate and triggers depression. We intend to trace the metabolic response induced in astrocytes by the NMO antibody using TCA isotopomers. It is our hope that we will not only learn something about the mechanisms of astrocyte dysregulation in neuromyelitis optica, but that we will learn something about the mechanisms of depression in general that may lead to new therapies for this disease.

Early Involvement of Peripherally Derived Monocytes in Inflammation in an NMO-Like Mouse Model [Monocytes]

Project description:Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that primarily affects the spinal cord and optic nerves in the central nervous system (CNS). It is characterized by the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against aquaporin 4, a protein found in astrocytes (known as NMO-IgG). Monocytes/macrophages and microglia accumulate at the active injury sites and contribute to the disease process. However, it is unclear whether these active cells originate from circulating monocytes/macrophages or resident microglia. Recent studies have investigated the role of microglia/macrophages in multiple sclerosis (MS) using specific microglial markers, such as P2ry12 and Tmem119, and have shown that active cells are derived from microglia. In contrast, the function of monocyte/macrophages and microglia in NMO has not been extensively studied. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the functions of monocytes/macrophages and microglia using microglial markers (P2ry12 and Tmem119) in an NMO-like mouse model and evaluate their role in the pathophysiology of NMO.

TCA Concentrations in Neuromyelitis Optica Patients (part - II)

Human cerebrospinal fluid exosome, LC-MSMS

Project description:Quantitative proteomics analysis of exosomes isolated from cerebrospinal fluid of neuromyelitis optica patients detected potential distinctive disease markers capable of differentiating from multiple sclerosis and idiopathic longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. Exosomes were enriched with high purity using differential centrifugation from pooled cerebrospinal fluids. The sample pooling strategy included pre-classification by cytokine level, which improved target molecule identification by providing enhanced fold change ratios and lower p-values when the subsets with high-cytokines were compared to each other. In addition to the spectral counts and label-free quantification, orthogonal quantitative validation was performed using tandem mass spectrometry analysis via UPLC and Orbitrap or Q-Exactive Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap instrumentation. The proteomic datasets with 442 significant exosomal proteins detected putative disease specific biomarkers, glial fibrillary acidic protein and fibronectin for neuromyelitis optica and multiple sclerosis, respectively. Additional investigation of expressions of glial fibrillary acidic protein and fibronectin revealed their presence in intact exosomes as detected by flow cytometry. ELISA measurement of glial fibrillary acidic protein within individual samples demonstrated diagnostic applicability by appropriately clustering disease groups. Expression levels of target molecules from label-free quantification were in good agreement with those from Western blotting. Finally, MetaCore pathway analysis of identified proteins supported the involvement of these proteins in disease progression via neurological pathway involvement. This comprehensive study suggests that the exosomal proteomics approach of cerebrospinal fluid can be applied to the identification and characterization of inflammatory disorders in central nervous system.

hUC-MSCs-derived MFGE8 ameliorates locomotor dysfunction via inhibition of ITGB3/NF-κB signaling in an NMO mouse model

Project description:Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a severe autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that affects motor function and causes relapsing disability. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have been used extensively in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases, due to their potent regulatory roles that can mitigate inflammation and repair damaged tissues. However, their use in NMO is currently limited, and the mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of hUC-MSCs on motor function in NMO remains unclear. In this study, we investigate the effects of hUC-MSCs on the recovery of motor function in an NMO systemic model. Our findings demonstrate that milk fat globule epidermal growth 8 (MFGE8), a key functional factor secreted by hUC-MSCs, plays a critical role in ameliorating motor impairments. We also elucidate that the MFGE8/Integrin αvβ3/NF-κB signaling pathway is partially responsible for structural and functional recovery, in addition to motor functional enhancements induced by hUC-MSC exposure. Taken together, these findings strongly support the involvement of MFGE8 in mediating hUC-MSCs-induced improvements in motor functional recovery in an NMO mouse model. In addition, this provides new insight on the therapeutic potential of hUC-MSCs and the mechanisms underlying their beneficial effects in NMO.
