Amphiregulin-producing T helper 2 cells have critical role in esophageal fibrosis of EoE

ABSTRACT: Background: Massive eosinophil infiltration into the esophagus causes subepithelial fibrosis and esophageal stricture in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). However, the pathogenesis of esophageal fibrosis remains unclear. Objective: The present study aimed to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the induction of esophageal fibrosis. Methods: We established a murine model of EoE accompanied by fibrotic responses following long-term intranasal administration of house dust mite (HDM) antigen. Using this murine model, we investigated the characteristics of immune cells infiltrating the fibrotic region of the inflamed esophagus using flow cytometry and histological analyses. We also analyzed the local inflammatory sites in the esophagus of patients with EoE using single-cell RNA sequencing, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry.

PolyA RNA-seq from Human esophageal biopsy samples from eosinophilic esophagitis patients

Project description:Analysis of steady-state mRNA levels in 27 samples from healthy controls and patients with fibrostenotic EoE and non-fibrostenotic EoE. Participants range 5 – 18 years old. EoE participants had >15 eosinophils per hpf (eos/hpf) and were classified as fibrostenotic (FS) or non-fibrostenotic (non-fs). FS EoE: having either a) a stricture and/or b) grade 2 or 3 concentric esophageal rings and an esophageal distensibility < 15 mm. Non-fs EoE: no clinical evidence for stricture, circumferential rings or history of food impaction. Included control subjects had no identified abnormalities on endoscopy or histology. Results provide insight into the pathways involved in fibrostenotic remodeling in EoE.

Transcriptomic profiling of esophageal epithelium reveals enrichment of IFN-γ response gene signature during active EoE.

Project description:Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, allergic inflammatory disease of the esophageal mucosa. Although type 2 cytokines are predominant, targeting type 2 inflammation alone is not always effective for all patients. In EoE patients, the transcriptional profiling of esophageal biopsy reveals upregulation of type I and II interferon (IFN) response, dysregulated immune signaling, and downregulation of esophageal-specific genes. However, further investigation is needed to examine the gene expression changes in esophageal epithelium because it plays an important role in EoE. To investigate the upregulation of Interferon Stimulated Genes (ISGs) in EoE esophageal epithelium, we isolated epithelial cells from active EoE patients and non-EoE controls. We performed bulk RNA sequencing to analyze the epithelial-specific transcriptome in EoE. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the most variable genes differentiated the active EoE biopsies from non-EoE controls. Gene set enrichment analysis identified IFN-γ response as the most significant upregulated pathway.

PIR-B negatively regulates IL-13-induced esophageal eosinophil effector functions

Project description:Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a T helper type 2 (TH2) cytokine-associated disease charaterized by eosinophil infiltration, epithelial cell hyperplasia and tissue remodeling. Recent studies have highlighted a major contribution for IL-13 in EoE pathogenesis. Paired immunoglobulin-like receptor (PIR)-B is a cell surface immune-inhibitory receptor that is expressed by eosinophils and postulated to regulate eosinophil development and migration. We report that Pirb is upregulated in the esophagus after inducible overexpression of IL-13 (CC10-IL13 Tg mice) and is overexpressed by esophageal eosinophils. CC10-IL13Tg/PirB-/- mice displayed increased esophageal eosinophilia and EoE pahtology, including epithelial cell thickening, fibrosis and angiogenesis, compared with CC10-IL13 Tg/PirB+/+ mice. Transcriptome analysis of primary Pirb+/+ and Prib-/- esophageal eosinophils revealed increased expression of transcripts associated with promoting tissue remodeling in Pirb-/- eosinophils including pro-fibrotic genes, genes promoting epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and genes associated with epithelial growth. These data identify PIR-B as a molecular checkpoint in IL-13-induced eosinophil accumulation and activation, which may serve as a novel target for future therapy in EoE.

Eosinophil Specialization Is Regulated by Exposure to the Esophageal Epithelial Microenvironment

Project description:Distinct subsets of eosinophils are reported in inflammatory and healthy tissues, yet the functions of uniquely specialized eosinophils and the signals that elicit them, particularly in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), are not well understood. Herein, we report an ex-vivo system wherein freshly isolated human eosinophils were cocultured with esophageal epithelial cells and disease-relevant pro-inflammatory (IL-13) or pro-fibrotic (TGF-β) cytokines. Our results demonstrate that disease-relevant pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic signals present in the esophagus of EoE patients cause distinct profiles of eosinophil activation and gene expression.

Effect of IFN-α and IFN-γ on gene expression of 3D organoids derived from telomerase-immortalized normal human esophageal keratinocyte cell line, EPC2-hTERT.

Project description:Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, allergic inflammatory disease of the esophageal mucosa. While type 2 cytokines are predominant, targeting type 2 inflammation alone is not always effective for all patients. In EoE patients, the transcriptional profiling of esophageal biopsy reveal upregulation of type I and II interferon (IFN) response, dysregulated immune signaling and downregulation of esophageal-specific genes in EoE patients. However, the role of interferon signaling during EoE is not fully understood. This study aims to investigate the impact of IFN signaling on esophageal epithelium and elucidate its role in EoE. IFN-γ stimulation of esophageal epithelial cells triggered disruption of tissue differentiation, epithelial barrier integrity and cytotoxicity, which are relevant features of EoE immunopathology. Beyond EoE, our findings offer insights into esophageal disorders which may involve increased IFN-γ signaling, including infections, gastrophageal reflux disease, and Barrett's esophagus.

Genome wide expression from esophageal biopsies of subjects with EoE-like inflammatory diseases, eosinophilic esophagitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease and healthy controls

Project description:Esophageal biopsy RNA was isolated from proximal esophageal biopsied RNA from patients with EoE-like inflammatory diseases (EoE-like esophagitis, lymphocytic esophagitis, non-specific esophagitis), patients with active EoE, patients with GERD, and unaffected healthy controls. EoE-like inflammatory disease patients were clinically active at the time when biopsies were taken. None of the patients (EoE-like inflammatory diseases, EoE, GERD and controls) were under anti-eosinophil treatment (including dietary restrictions). The quality of the RNA-seq data was assessed using fastqc v. 0.11.5 1) and RSeQC v. 2.6.4 2). The reads were mapped to the reference genome using HiSat2 v. 2.1.0 3). FeatureCounts v. 1.6.0 4) was used to count the number of reads overlapping with each gene as specified in the genome annotation (Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.94). The Bioconducture package DESeq2 5) was used to test for differential gene expression between the experimental groups. TopGo 6) was used to identify gene ontology terms containing unusually many differentially expressed genes. An interactive Shiny application was set up to facilitate the exploration and visualisation of the RNA-seq results. All analyses were run in R version 3.4.4 (2018-03-15)
