Project description:While all salivary glands (SGs) can be involved in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), their respective role in pathogenesis remains unclear. To assess immunopathway activation in paired parotid and labial gland tissue from biopsy-positive and biopsy-negative pSS and non-SS sicca patients, paraffin-embedded, paired parotid and labial salivary gland tissue and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from 39 pSS and 20 non-SS sicca patients. The patients were subdivided based on fulfillment of ACR-EULAR criteria and histopathology and the samples were analyzed for differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The principal component analysis of SG gene expression could only separate biopsy-positive pSS from non-SS sicca patients. However, when comparing the transcriptome of biopsy-positive pSS and biopsy-negative non-SS sicca patients, 1235 and 624 DEGs (FDR<-1 or >1) were identified for parotid and labial glands, respectively. The number of DEGs between biopsy negative pSS and non-SS sicca patients was scarce. The overall, transcript expression levels correlated strongly between parotid and labial glands (R2=0.86, p‐value<0.0001). Gene signatures present in both glands of biopsy‐positive pSS patients included IFN‐α signaling, IL-12/IL-18 signaling, CD3/CD28 T-cell activation, CD40 signaling in B-cells, DN2 B-cells, and FcRL4+ B-cells. Signature scores varied considerably amongst pSS patients. In conclusion, the transcriptomes of paired major and minor SGs in pSS were overall comparable, although significant inter-individual heterogeneity in immunopathway activation existed. The SG transcriptome of biopsy-negative pSS was indistinguishable from non-SS sicca patients. The different patterns of SG immunopathway activation in pSS argue for personalized treatment approaches.

Project description:Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands and prominent B cell hyperactivity. B cells are crucial in the pathophysiology of pSS through several mechanisms, including cytokine production, exocrine gland destruction, and autoantibody secretion. Considering the central role of B cells we performed RNA-sequencing analysis of circulating CD19+ B cells from patients with pSS, non-Sjögren’s sicca (nSS), and healthy controls (HC).

Project description:Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands. Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs)-2 play a critical role in T and B cell activation, leading to germinal centre formation and autoantibody production. To understand the mechanisms underlying cDC2 dysregulation in pSS we performed RNA-sequencing analysis and functional validation on circulating cDC2s from pSS, non-Sjögren’s sicca (nSS) patients and healthy controls (HC). Two independent cohorts were established to identify reproducible dysregulated signatures, which included the interferon (IFN), toll-like receptors (TLR) signaling and antigen processing and presentation pathways. We confirm by flow cytometry that pSS-cDC2s were less efficient to degrade BSA but more efficient to uptake BSA both linked with the presence of anti-SSA antibodies. As the majority of the SSA+ pSS patients exhibit an IFN-signature, we tested whether IFNα priming would influence cDC2s antigen-uptake and processing. IFNα priming increased cDC2s uptake capacity, but not antigen processing. Additionally, pSS-cDC2s showed an increased uptake capacity of apoptotic salivary gland epithelial cells. Finally, pSS-cDC2s increased the proliferation of HC CD4+ T cells and the expression of CXCR3 and CXCR5 on the proliferating HC CD4+ T cells, contributing to T cell migration into the inflamed salivary glands. Here we provide the first in-depth molecular characterization of pSS-cDC2s and show that the transcriptomic and functional alterations observed in pSS-cDC2s are linked to IFN-signature. In view of its role in pSS immunopathology, delineating the molecular networks that drive cDC2s holds promise for targeting these cells in pSS.

Project description:Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by reduced activity of the exocrine glands (principally the salivary and lacrimal glands) due to chronic lymphocytic infiltration. pSS has been closely associated with an enhanced risk of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. However, the dynamic epigenetic changes in gland cells accompanied with this pathogenesis are not fully understood. In present study, the labial gland (LG) and parotid gland (PG) tissues from two pSS patients with lymphoma were harvested including LG with negative antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and LG with positive ANA at the first diagnosis of pSS, as well as PG with and without lymphoma tissues at the second diagnosis of MALT. RNA-seq of these tissues were studied. This data is benefit to advanced understanding the dynamic development of MALT from pSS, emphasizing the importance of epigenetic alterations in regulating transcription during the pathologic process.

Project description:Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by abnormal immune cell activation. This study aimed to investigate differentially expressed long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in patients with pSS to identify lncRNAs that affect pSS pathogenesis. Transcriptome sequencing detected 38096 lncRNAs and 50869 mRNAs in PBMCs from patients with pSS and healthy individuals. The differentially expressed mRNAs underwent functional enrichment analysis. A protein interaction relationship (PPI) and ceRNA network was constructed. LncRNA expression in patients with pSS and controls was determined using RT-PCR. 1180 lncRNAs and 640 mRNAs were differentially expressed in pSS patients (fold change > 2 in healthy persons). The PPI network was constructed with 640 mRNAs and a ceRNA network with four key lncRNAs (GABPB1-AS1, PSMA3-AS1, LINC00847 and SNHG1). A co-expression relationship was found between GABPB1-AS1 and several upregulated mRNAs (IFI44, IFI44L, IFI6, and EPSTI1). RT-PCR revealed that GABPB1-AS1 and PSMA3-AS1 were significantly upregulated 3.0- and 1.4-fold in the pSS group, respectively. In patients with pSS, the GABPB1-AS1 expression level was positively correlated with B cell and IgG levels. GABPB1-AS1 expression levels are positively correlated with B cell levels and may be involved in the pathogenesis of pSS.

Project description:Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by infiltration of the exocrine glands and prominent B cell hyperactivity. Considering the key role of monocytes in promoting B cell hyperactivity, we performed RNA-sequencing analysis of CD14+ monocytes from patients with pSS, non-Sjögren’s sicca (nSS), and healthy controls (HC). We demonstrated that the transcriptomic profile of pSS patients is enriched in intermediate and non-classical monocyte profiles, and confirmed the increased frequency of non-classical monocytes in pSS patients by flow-cytometry analysis. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis identified four molecular signatures in monocytes from pSS patients, functionally annotated for processes related with translation, IFN-signaling, and toll like receptor signaling. Systemic and local inflammatory features significantly correlated with the expression of these signatures. Furthermore, genes highly associated with clinical features in pSS were identified as hub-genes for each signature. Unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis of the hub-genes identified four clusters of nSS and pSS patients, each with distinct inflammatory and transcriptomic profiles. One cluster showed a significantly higher percentage of pSS patients with higher prevalence of anti-SSA autoantibodies, interferon score, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate compared to the other clusters. Finally, we showed that the identified transcriptomic differences in pSS monocytes were induced in monocytes of healthy controls by exposure to serum of pSS patients. Representative hub-genes of all four signatures were partially inhibited by interferon-a/b receptor blockade, indicating that the circulating inflammatory mediators, including type I interferons have a significant contribution to the altered transcriptional profile of pSS-monocytes. Our study suggests that targeting key circulating inflammatory mediators, such as type I interferons, could offer new insights into the important pathways and mechanisms driving pSS, and holds promise for halting immunopathology in Sjögren’s Syndrome.

Project description:As the largest salivary gland in oral cavity, the parotid gland plays an important role in initial digesting and lubricating food. The abnormal secretory function of parotid gland can lead to dental caries and oral mucosal inflammation. In recent years, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has been used to explore the heterogeneity and diversity of cells in various organs and tissues. However, the transcription profile of human parotid gland at single-cell resolution has not been reported yet. In this study, we constructed the cell atlas of human parotid gland using 10x Genomics platform. Characteristic gene analysis identified the biological functions of serous acinar cell populations in secreting digestive enzymes and antibacterial proteins. We revealed the specificity and similarity of parotid gland comparing to other digestive glands through comparative analyses of other published scRNA-seq datasets. We also identified the cell-specific expression of hub genes for Sjogren’s syndrome in human parotid gland by integrating the results of GWAS and bulk RNA-seq, which highlighted the importance of immune cell dysfunction in parotid Sjogren’s syndrome pathogenesis.
