Possible involvement of Toll-like receptor 8-positive monocytes/macrophages in the pathogenesis of Sjögren's disease

ABSTRACT: Sjögren's disease (SjD) is an autoimmune disease marked by lymphocytic infiltration of salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to glandular dysfunction, where CD4-positive helper T (Th) cells and their cytokines are crucial in the pathogenesis. Recent studies have demonstrated that Toll-like receptors (TLRs), particularly those recognizing immune complexes containing DNA and RNA, contribute to Th cell activation in various autoimmune diseases. This study explores the expression and function of these TLRs in SjD. In scRNA-seq analysis, the TLR8-expressing cluster comprised macrophages and monocytes, which also produced T cell activation genes like CD86, suggesting that infiltrating monocytes and macrophages may produce cytokines and chemokines through TLR8 stimulation, potentially enhancing B7 molecule expression, promoting the adaptive immune response, and contributing to SjD pathogenesis.

Gene expression profile in freshly isolated monocytes from patients with diffuse cutaneous scleroderma (dcSSc) compared to healthy donors (HDs)

Project description:Monocytes/macrophages are activated in several autoimmune diseases, including systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc), with increased expression of IFN-regulatory genes and inflammatory cytokines, suggesting dysregulation of the innate immune response in autoimmunity. Recently, we found that EBV is deregulated in SSc with abnormal expression of viral lytic-genes in PBMCs and skin. Since monocytes/macrophages are involved in innate immune recognition of EBV/lytic infection, we sought to determine whether EBV might contribute to their activation in SSc. In this study, using recombinant-EBV we infected monocytes from SSc and healthy donors (HDs), we found that viral replication is essential for inducing the expression of TLR8 in EBV-infected primary monocytes. Markers of activated monocytes, such as IFN-regulated genes and chemokines, were up-regulated in SSc- and HD-EBV-infected monocytes. Inhibiting TLR8 expression reduced virally-induced-TLR8 in THP-1 infected cells, demonstrating that innate immune activation by infectious EBV is partially dependent on TLR8. Viral lytic-mRNA and -proteins were detected in freshly isolated SSc monocytes. Microarray analysis substantiated the evidence of an increased IFN signature and altered level of TLR8 expression in SSc monocytes carrying infectious EBV compared to HD monocytes.

STING is essential for TLR8 induced IFN

Project description:The innate immune system is equipped with multiple receptors to detect microbial nucleic acids and induce type I interferon (IFN) to restrict viral replication. When dysregulated these receptor pathways induce inflammation in response to host nucleic acids and promote development and persistence of autoimmune diseases like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). IFN production is regulated by the Interferon Regulatory Factor (IRF) transcription factor family of proteins that function downstream of several innate immune receptors such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING). Although both TLRs and STING activate the same downstream molecules, the pathway by which TLRs and STING activate IFN response are thought to be independent. Here we show that STING plays a previously undescribed role in human TLR8 signaling. Stimulation with the TLR8 ligands induced IFN secretion in primary human monocytes, and inhibition of STING reduced IFN secretion from primary monocytes from 8 healthy donors. We demonstrate that TLR8-induced IRF activity was reduced by STING inhibitors. Moreover, TLR8-induced IRF activity was blocked by inhibition or loss of IKKε, but not TBK1. Bulk RNA transcriptomic analysis supported a model where TLR8 induces transcriptional responses associated with SLE that can be downregulated by inhibition of STING. These data demonstrate that STING is required for full TLR8-to-IRF signaling and provide evidence for a new framework of crosstalk between cytosolic and endosomal innate immune receptors, which could be leveraged to treat IFN driven autoimmune diseases.

PBMCs from patients with Sjögren's syndrome and healthy controls

Project description:Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease manifesting primarily as dryness of eyes and mouth. In this study, we compared gene expression in PBMCs between age- and gender-matched patients with Sjögren's syndrome (diagnosed by ACR criteria) and healthy controls. Cells were collected in heparinized tubes and PBMCs were prepared using Ficoll.

Whole-Genome Gene Expression Bead Array analysis of Toll-like receptor 2/8 stimulated human monocytes

Project description:Monocytes and macrophages are essential cells in the early response in their capacity as ubiquitous phagocytic cells. They phagocytose microorganisms or damaged cells and sense pathogen/damage-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs/DAMPs) through innate receptors such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs). We investigated a phenomenon where co-signaling from TLR2 and TLR8 in human primary monocytes provides a distinct immune activation profile compared to signaling from either TLR alone. Comparison of gene signatures induced by either stimulus alone or together, show that co-signaling result in downstream differences in regulation of signaling and gene transcription. To investigate the interaction of TLR2 and TLR8 stimulation primary human monocytes isolated from buffy coat were stimulated with TLR2/6 ligand FSL-1 and/or TLR7/8 ligand CL075 and the gene expression monitored at 1,2 and 3h post stimulation.

Transcription profiling of human dendritic cells treated with lipopolysaccharides and R848

Project description:Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling activation by pathogens is critical to the induction of immune responses, and demands tight regulation. Chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) secretion triggered by TLR4 or TLR8 engagement is strongly inhibited upon simultaneous activation of both TLRs in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MD-DC). Impaired CCL2 secretion occurs concomitantly to IL-12 up-regulation, being part of a complex regulatory circuit ensuring optimal Th type 1 polarization. Interestingly, triggering selected TLRs or their combinations differently affects nuclear factor-kB p65 activation and microRNA expression. To investigate in details such different modulation we performed a microarray profiling of MD-DCs stimulated by different TLRs agonist or their combination in three different donors. We found that CCL2 supplies an important immunomodulatory role to DCs, and may contribute to dictate the cytokine profile in Th type 1 responses induced by DCs.

Resident macrophage enhances an autoimmune lesion in Sjögren's syndrome

Project description:Macrophages are critical regulators of immune responses, and link innate immunity to acquired immunity. The precise mechanism of the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases through tissue-resident macrophage is unclear. The role of the tissue-resident macrophages in the onset or development of autoimmunity was investigated using a murine model for Sjögren’s syndrome.
