UVB exposure triggers autoimmune cutaneous inflammation in Foxp3dExon2-expressing mice.

ABSTRACT: Ultraviolet B (UVB) light is a common environmental trigger that can induce flares in several autoimmune diseases. Here, we modeled photosensitivity in mice which express an autoimmune-driving isoform of Foxp3 without the second coding exon of the gene, called FoxP3ΔE2 mice. In the steady-state, FoxP3ΔE2mice generate keratinocyte-specific IgE autoantibodies and more autoreactive T follicular helper (TFH) cells that target keratinocyte-derived autoantigens that are released upon exposure to damaging doses of UVB. After UVB light challenge in vivo, FoxP3ΔE2mice generated more IgE antibodies, increased germinal center formation, had higher percentages of IL-4+TFHs, developed worsened skin pathology and had higher concentrations of IgE in UVB-damaged skin. We also observed a significant increase in IgE on basophils and accumulation of basophil extracellular traps in UVB-challenged skin of FoxP3ΔE2mice. Collectively, FoxP3ΔE2mice fail to maintain self-tolerance in GCs, causing IgE autoantibody production and driving exaggerated photosensitivity.

Ultraviolet light induces HERV expression to activate RIG-I signaling pathway in keratinocytes

Project description:Skin inflammation and photosensitivity are common in lupus erythematosus (LE) patients, and Ultraviolet (UV) light is a known trigger of skin and possibly systemic inflammation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) patients. Type I interferons (IFN) are upregulated in LE skin after UV exposure, however, the mechanisms to explain UVB-induced inflammation remain unclear. Here we performed RNA-seq to HaCat cells with UVB irradiation to characterize gene expression and resolve differential responses of keratinocytes, in order to understand how the keratinocyte response contributes to the disease. Our data showed that HERVs and RIG-I pathway were activated in keratinocytes after UVB exposure and indicate that RIG-I pathway and HERVs are involved in proinflammatory by activating the I-IFN pathway, which provide a novel insight into how UVB promotes and aggravate skin lesion of LE patients.

The early local and systemic Type I interferon responses to ultraviolet B light exposure are cGAS dependent.

Project description:Most systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients are photosensitive and ultraviolet B light (UVB) exposure worsens cutaneous disease and precipitates systemic flares of disease. The pathogenic link between skin disease and systemic exacerbations in SLE remains elusive. In an acute model of UVB-triggered inflammation, we observed that a single UV exposure triggered a striking IFN-I signature not only in the skin, but also in the blood and kidneys. The early IFN-I signature was significantly higher in female compared to male mice. The early IFN-I response in the skin was almost entirely, and in the blood partly, dependent on the presence of cGAS, as was skin inflammatory cell infiltration. Inhibition of cGAMP hydrolysis augmented the UVB-triggered IFN-I response. UVB skin exposure leads to cGAS-activation and both local and systemic IFN-I signature and could contribute to acute flares of disease in susceptible subjects such as patients with SLE.

The interferon-rich skin environment regulates Langerhans cell ADAM17 to promote photosensitivity in lupus [array]

Project description:The autoimmune disease lupus erythematosus (lupus) is characterized in part by photosensitivity, where patients can develop inflammatory skin lesions with even ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. Evidence points to a role for type I interferon (IFN-I) in photosensitivity, but mechanistic understanding remains limited. We have shown that photosensitivity in lupus models is at least in part attributable to Langerhans cell (LC) dysfunction. Healthy LCs limit photosensitivity via a disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17), a sheddase that normally limits UVR-induced skin inflammation by releasing soluble epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands to support keratinocyte survival. On the other hand, LCs from lesional and even non-lesional lupus model skin show reduced ADAM17 activity and mRNA expression. Non-lesional human lupus skin also showed evidence of LC dysfunction, and, here, we asked how the lupus skin environment contributes to this dysfunction. We show that non-lesional skin in human CLE and multiple photosensitive lupus models share gene expression patterns consistent with a high IFN environment and LC dysfunction. IFN-I inhibits murine and human LC ADAM17 activity, and anti-IFNAR1 in lupus models restores LC ADAM17 function and reduces photosensitivity in EGFR and LC ADAM17-dependent manners. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a mediator of ADAM17 activity, and we show that lupus models have reduced UVR-induced LC ROS generation that is restored by anti-IFNAR1. Our findings suggest shared pathogenic mechanisms of photosensitivity in human and murine lupus skin and a model whereby the IFN-I-rich microenvironment in non-lesional lupus skin inhibits UVR-induced ADAM17 activity, predisposing to photosensitivity. Our data also suggest that the beneficial effects of the recently FDA-approved anifrolumab (anti-IFNAR1) on human lupus skin could act in part by restoring LC function.

Comparison of the Transcriptional Profiles of Melanocytes from Dark and Light Skinned Individuals under Basal Conditions and Following Ultraviolet-B Irradiation

Project description:We analysed the whole-genome transcriptional profile of 6 cell lines of dark melanocytes (DM) and 6 of light melanocytes (LM) at basal conditions and after UVB at different time points (6, 12 and 24h) to investigate the mechanisms by which melanocytes protect human skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB). Further, we assessed the effect of different keratinocyte-conditioned media (KCM+ and KCM-) on melanocytes. We analysed six lines of melanocytes isolated from lightly pigmented neonatal foreskin (LM), and six lines from darkly pigmented neonatal foreskin (DM), at 0, 6, 12 and 24 hours post UV irradiation. We also assessed the effect of different keratinocyte-conditioned media (KCM+ or KCM-)

Hippo pathway component WWC1 is a key regulator of apoptosis and photosensitivity in lupus keratinocytes

Project description:Skin inflammation and photosensitivity are common manifestations of cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Non-lesional SLE skin exhibits increased UVB-driven cell death that persists in culture, supporting a potential role for epigenetic modifications to sustain this phenotype. We thus examined differential DNA methylation of non-lesional SLE vs. healthy control keratinocytes (KC) and identified Hippo signaling as the top significantly differentially methylated pathway, likely driven by hypomethylation of WWC1, a scaffold protein and Hippo pathway regulator. Analysis of non-lesional SLE skin biopsies and SLE keratinocytes in culture confirmed WWC1 overexpression that led to enhanced phosphorylation of YAP resulting in a pro-apoptotic transcriptional profile reflective of decreased YAP/TEAD transcriptional coactivation. Functional studies of UV-mediated apoptosis confirmed a regulatory role for YAP/TEAD interactions, and blockade of overactive Hippo signaling via a LATS1/2 inhibitor abrogated enhanced apoptosis in SLE KCs. Thus, our work identifies a novel mechanistic paradigm in SLE KCs in which aberrant UVB-apoptosis is driven by Hippo signaling via promotion of YAP phosphorylation and restriction of YAP coactivation of TEAD transcriptional activity. Hippo modulation may be a novel target for photosensitivity in SLE and CLE.

Skin Exposure to UVB Light induces a Skin-Brain-Gonad Axis and Sexual Behavior

Project description:Ultraviolet (UV) light affects endocrinological and behavioral aspects of human sexuality via an unknown mechanism. Using a unique male-female comparative approach, we discovered that the sexual behavioral and hormonal features enhanced by UVB are mediated by the skin. In mice, UV exposure increases hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis hormone levels, resulting in enhanced ovary size, extended estrus days, and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) expression. It likewise enhances the sexual responsiveness and attractiveness of females and male-female interactions of both males and females. Conditional knockout of p53 specifically in skin keratinocytes abolished UV’s effects. In humans, UV exposure enhanced romantic passion in both genders increased testosterone levels in men. Our data, revealing that UVB triggers a skin-brain-gonadal axis through skin p53 activation, offers therapeutic opportunities for sex-steroid-related dysfunctions. We speculate that during human furless skin evolution, the skin became the front-line regulator of the response to UVB.
