Eosinophil Specialization Is Regulated by Exposure to the Esophageal Epithelial Microenvironment

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Persistent epithelial barrier dysfunction and Periostin accumulation in histologic remission Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Project description:Patients with Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) require long-lasting resolution of inflammation to prevent fibrostenosis and dysphagia. However, the dissociation between symptoms and histologic improvement suggests persistent molecular drivers despite remission. We aimed to characterize persisting molecular alterations in pediatric patients with EoE using tissue proteomics. Esophageal tissue biopsies (n=151) and clinical data were collected prospectively from pediatric patients with EoE (N=34), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD; N=10; inflammatory controls) or functional disorders (FD; N=20; non-inflammatory controls). Biospies (n=131) acquired from the diagnostic endoscopy and up to 7 follow-ups were considered for proteome analysis in patients with EoE, while for GERD and FD only biopsies from initial diagnosis were included. Histologically active EoE (15 eosinophils per high power field (hpf)) was diagnosed in 79 biopsies and 52 samples derived from patients with EoE in remission (15 eosinophils per hpf). After microdissection of the epithelium proteins were extracted from the esophageal tissue followed by a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Proteomic analysis identified 3,704 different proteins in total across all samples.

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

Project description: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.

Activation of IL5R and CRTH2 on Human Eosinophils Elicit a Similar Molecular Response and Reveal a Synergistic Effect

Project description:Eosinophils represent key cells driving inflammatory processes in asthma and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Eosinophils migration and activation in disease is orchestrated by a myriad of molecules among which prostaglandin D2, the cognate ligand of CRTH2, and interleukin 5 play a crucial role. In clinical studies with CRTH2 antagonists and anti-IL-5 antibodies, a reduction of the number of eosinophils in disease tissue of asthma and EoE patients was demonstrated, validating the pharmacological effects on eosinophils migration. In contrast, activation of eosinophils through IL5 or CRTH2 receptor has not been studied to the same extent. Understanding the molecular CRTH2 and IL5 activation bias in disease would provide a better assessment of pharmacological intervention, or the need for a combination therapy, to block eosinophils efficiently. We performed gene expression profiling studies with isolated human eosinophils to compare the molecular signatures of CRTH2 and IL5 receptor activation. Furthermore we employed gene set enrichment analysis to query the eosinophils activation bias in asthma and EoE. We observed that activation of CRTH2 and IL5 on human eosinophils shared a large part of the molecular response but also present distinct molecular signatures. Remarkably, FADS1, involved in the synthesis of prostaglandin D2, was identified as a specific CRTH2-induced gene that is counter-regulated by IL5, potentially representing a feedback loop between CRTH2 and IL5 receptor. In silico use of the identified gene signatures and FADS1 demonstrated an enrichment of the IL5 activation signature in lung tissue of asthma patients, whereas esophagus tissue of EoE patients presented a CRTH2 bias.

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)

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.
