Inducible deletion of Ezh2 in CD4+ T cells inhibits kidney T cell infiltration and prevents interstitial nephritis in MRL/lpr lupus-prone mice

ABSTRACT: Systemic lupus erythematosus is a remitting relapsing autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibody production and multi-organ involvement. T cell epigenetic dysregulation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of lupus. We have previously demonstrated upregulation of the key epigenetic regulator EZH2 in CD4+ T cells isolated from lupus patients. To further investigate the role of EZH2 in the pathogenesis of lupus, we generated a tamoxifen-inducible CD4+ T cell Ezh2 conditional knockout mouse on the MRL/lpr lupus-prone background. We demonstrate that Ezh2 deletion abrogates lupus-like disease and prevents T cell differentiation. Single-cell analysis suggests impaired T cell function and activation of programed cell death pathways in EZH2-deficient mice. Ezh2 deletion in CD4+ T cells restricts TCR clonal repertoire and prevents kidney-infiltrating effector CD4+ T cell expansion and tubulointerstitial nephritis, which has been linked to end-stage renal disease in patients with lupus nephritis.

miRNAs expression in the splenic CD4+ T cells and B cells isolated from MRL/lpr mice at 5 and 16 weeks of age

Project description:To identify any differentially expressed miRNAs in the CD4+ T cells of lupus. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated as fine-tuning regulators controlling diverse biological processes at the level of posttranscriptional repression. Dysregulation of miRNAs has been described in various disease states, including human lupus. By using high-throughput microRNA profiling analysis, we identified that two miRNAs (miR-21 and miR-148a) overexpressed in CD4+ T cells from both lupus patients and lupus-prone MRL/lpr mice,which promote cell hypomethylation by repressing DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) expression. We isolated the splenic CD4+ T cells and B cells from MRL/lpr mice at 5 and 16 weeks of age.Cells were collected and total RNA was extracted for the TaqMan® Low Density Assay v2.0 Normalization was performed with snoRNA202, reference snRNAs for mouse.Comparative real-time PCR was performed in triplicate, including no-template.controls. Relative expression was calculated with the comparative cycle threshold method.

RNA Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type(MRL-mpj) and MRL-lpr (PBS or MSC treated) Hippocampoal Transcriptomes

Project description:Up to 75% of systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients experience neuropsychiatric (NP) symptoms, called neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE), yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Complement cascades mediate synaptic pruning by microglia during early postnatal brain development. The process in NPSLE remains unclear. Here, we show that complement-coordinated elimination of synaptic terminals participated in NPSLE in MRL/lpr mice, a lupus-prone murine model. We elucidated that lupus mice developed increased anxiety-like behaviors and persistent phagocytic microglia reactivation before overt peripheral lupus pathology. Microglial engulfment of synapses explained behavioral disorders. We further determined that neuronal Nr4a1 signaling was essential for attracting C1q synaptic deposition then apposition of phagocytic microglia, ensuing synaptic loss and neurological disease. Minocycline-deactivated microglia, antibody-blocked C1q, or neuronal Nr4a1 restore protected lupus mice from synapse loss and NP manifestations. Our findings revealed an active role of neurons in coordinating microglia-mediated synaptic loss and highlight neuronal Nr4a1 and C1q as critical components amenable to pharmacological intervention.

RNA Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Lupus (MRL/lpr) and Control（MRL/mpj）Mouse Microglia Tanscriptomes

Project description:Up to 75% of systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients experience neuropsychiatric (NP) symptoms, called neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE), yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Microglia control synaptic pruning during early postnatal brain development. The process in NPSLE remains unclear. Here, we show that microglia-coordinated elimination of synaptic terminals participated in NPSLE in MRL/lpr mice, a lupus-prone murine model. We elucidated that lupus mice developed increased depression- and anxiety-like behaviors and persistent phagocytic microglia reactivation before overt peripheral lupus pathology. Microglial engulfment of synapses explained behavioral disorders. To elucidate the mechanism of synaptic pruning by microglia, we sequenced the gene expression in sorted microglia from both lupus (MRL/lpr) mice and the wild-type (MRL/mpj) controls.

The Aggregates of Mesenchymal stem cell with Cadherin/IGF1 Functionalized PLGA composite Microparticles Improve Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Treatment in MRL/lpr mice

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy is a promising candidate for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), while more researches are needed to further improve therapeutic efficacy. In this study, engineered MSC aggregates are composited with MSC and cadherin/IGF1 functionalized PLGA composite microparticles, and are able to stimulate the microenvironment in vivo and enhance MSC functions of immunoregulation and cytokine secretion. Comprehensive characterization of these PLGA composite microparticles coated with E-cadherin/N-cadherin, enhancing MSC viability and cytokine secretion, followed by transcriptomic analysis to evaluate their potential advantages. We detected engineered MSC aggregates further ameliorated skin and lupus nephritis, compared with MSCs in MRL/lpr mice. In addition, engineered MSC aggregates enhanced Treg differentiation in vitro and in the spleen and lumph node of MRL/lpr mice. These findings suggested that engineered MSC aggregates represented a promising bioengineered approach for treating SLE, broadening the clinical applications of MSC-based therapies.

NCAM1: A Novel Autoantigen in Membranous Lupus Nephritis

Project description:Membranous lupus nephritis is a frequent cause of nephrotic syndrome in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Unlike phospholipase A2 receptor or thrombospondin type 1 domain containing 7A-associated membranous nephropathy, where known antibodies can be detected within sera by indirect immunofluorescence and/or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, it is not possible to monitor disease activity in membranous lupus nephritis where the target autoantigens are mostly unknown. Determination of the target autoantigen has diagnostic significance, informs prognosis, and allows for non-invasive monitoring of disease activity in serum. We utilized mass spectrometry for antigen discovery of laser capture microdissected glomeruli from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue and tissue IgG immunoprecipitation studies from frozen kidney biopsy tissue. We identified neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1) to be a target antigen in membranous lupus nephritis and within rare cases of primary membranous nephropathy. The prevalence of NCAM1-associated membranous neuropathy was 5.7% of cases of membranous lupus nephritis. NCAM1 co-localizes with IgG within glomerular immune deposits. Additionally, serum from NCAM1 patients showed reactivity to NCAM1 recombinant protein. The presence of anti-NCAM1 antibodies in sera could allow for non-invasive monitoring of the disease. We propose that NCAM1 is a target autoantigen in a subset of patients with membranous lupus nephritis. Future studies are needed to determine whether anti-NCAM1 antibody levels correlate with disease activity or response to therapy.

Distinct pathogenic roles for resident and monocyte-derived macrophages in lupus nephritis

Project description:Lupus nephritis is a serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus, mediated by IgG immune complex (IC) deposition in kidneys, with limited treatment options. Kidney macrophages are critical tissue sentinels that express IgG-binding Fcγ receptors (FcγRs), with previous studies identifying prenatally seeded resident macrophages as major IC responders. Using single-cell transcriptomic and spatial analyses in murine and human lupus nephritis, we sought to understand macrophage heterogeneity and subset-specific contributions in disease. In lupus nephritis, the cell fate trajectories of tissue-resident (TrMac) and monocyte-derived (MoMac) kidney macrophages were perturbed, with disease-associated transcriptional states indicating distinct pathogenic roles for TrMac and MoMac subsets. Lupus nephritis–associated MoMac subsets showed marked induction of FcγR response genes, avidly internalized circulating ICs, and presented IC-opsonized antigen. In contrast, lupus nephritis-associated TrMac subsets demonstrated limited IC uptake, but expressed monocyte chemoattractants, and their depletion attenuated monocyte recruitment to the kidney. TrMacs also produced B cell tissue niche factors, suggesting a role in supporting autoantibody-producing lymphoid aggregates. Extensive similarities were observed with human kidney macrophages, revealing cross-species transcriptional disruption in lupus nephritis. Overall, our study suggests a division of labor in the kidney macrophage response in lupus nephritis, with treatment implications — TrMacs orchestrate leukocyte recruitment while MoMacs take up and present IC antigen.

Expression data from effector CD4 T cells isolated from MRL/Faslpr mice.

Project description:MRL/Faslpr mice is a lupus prone strain that exhibits lupus disease features at 12-16 weeks of age, including high-titer circulating anti-DNA antibodies, splenomegaly, lymphadnopathy, skin lesions, and IgG deposits in the kidney. At 16-24 weeks of age, CD4+ B220- CD44+ T cells were sorted into three populations based on the expression of two cell surface molecules, CD62L and PSGL1. CD62Lhi PSGL1hi, CD62Llo PSGL1hi, and CD62Llo PSGL1lo CD4+ T cells were isolated directly ex vivo. There was no treatment given to the animals. Naive (CD62Lhi CD44lo) CD4+ B220- T cells were isolated from young 6-8 week old female mice for comparison. We used a microarray to identify unique features of the CD62Llo PSGL1lo population in comparison to naïve CD4+ T cells and other activated CD4+ T cells.
