Th17 pathway is activated in early inflamed acne lesions

ABSTRACT: The mechanisms of inflammation in acne are not well understood. This study performed in two separate patient populations focused on the activation of adaptive and innate immunity in early inflamed acne. Biopsies were collected from lesional and non-lesional skin of acne patients. Psoriasis patients and healthy volunteers were included in the study for comparison (not included in the records). Using Affymetrix Genechips, we observed significant elevation of the signature cytokines of the Th17 lineage in acne lesions compared to non-lesional skin. The increased expression of IL-17 was confirmed with real-time qPCR (RT-PCR) in two separate patient populations. Cytokines involved in Th17 lineage differentiation (IL-1beta, IL-6, TGF-beta; IL23p19) were remarkably induced at the RNA level. In addition, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-8, TNF-α), Th1 markers (IL12p40, CXCR3, T-bet, IFN-gamma), T regulatory cell markers (Foxp3, IL-10, TGF-β) and antimicrobial peptides (S100A7, S100A9, LNC2, hBD2, hBD3, hCAP18) were induced. Importantly, immunohistochemistry revealed significantly increased numbers of IL-17A positive T cells and CD83 dendritic cells in the acne lesions. In summary our results demonstrate the presence of IL17A positive T cells and the activation of Th17-related cytokines in acne lesions, indicating that the Th17 pathway may play a pivotal role in the disease process, offering new targets of therapy.

Transcription profiling of human acne lesion vs. normal skin from acne and non acne patients

Project description:The pathogenesis of acne has been linked to multiple factors such as increased sebum production, inflammation, follicular hyperkeratinization, and the action of Propionibacterium acnes within the follicle. In an attempt to understand the specific genes involved in inflammatory acne, we performed gene expression profiling in acne patients. Skin biopsies were obtained from an inflammatory papule and from normal skin in six patients with acne. Biopsies were also taken from normal skin of six subjects without acne. Gene array expression profiling was conducted using Affymetrix HG-U133A 2.0 arrays comparing lesional to nonlesional skin in acne patients and comparing nonlesional skin from acne patients to skin from normal subjects. Within the acne patients, 211 genes are upregulated in lesional skin compared to nonlesional skin. A significant proportion of these genes are involved in pathways that regulate inflammation and extracellular matrix remodeling, and they include matrix metalloproteinases 1 and 3, IL-8, human beta-defensin 4, and granzyme B. These data indicate a prominent role of matrix metalloproteinases, inflammatory cytokines, and antimicrobial peptides in acne lesions. These studies are the first describing the comprehensive changes in gene expression in inflammatory acne lesions and are valuable in identifying potential therapeutic targets in inflammatory acne. Experiment Overall Design: total 18 chips. 6 for acne lesion samples, 6 for normal skin samples, 6 for non-acne patient normal skin samples

Induction and molecular signature of pathogenic Th17 cells

Project description:TGF-beta3 produced by developing Th17 cells induces highly pathogenic T cells that are functionally and molecularly distinct from TGF-beta1-induced Th17 cells. The microarray data represent a distinct molecular signature for pathogenic versus non-pathogenic Th17 cells. Total of seven groups with two to four samples per group from two independent experiments. The no cytokines group (Th0) was used as a control to normalize the data. 7 groups: B6: (IL-1beta, IL-6) B623: (IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-23) T16: (TGF-beta1, IL-6) T1623: (TGF-beta1, IL-6, IL-23) T36: (TGF-beta3, IL-6) T3623: (TGF-beta3, IL-6, IL-23) NOCYTO: no cytokines

Antimicrobial production by perifollicular dermal preadipocytes is essential to the pathophysiology of acne

Project description:Innate immune defense against deep tissue infection by Staphylococcus aureus is orchestrated by fibroblasts that become antimicrobial when triggered to differentiate into adipocytes. However, the role of this process in non-infectious human diseases is unknown. To investigate the potential role of adipogenesis by dermal fibroblasts in acne, a disorder triggered by Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), single-cell RNA-sequencing was performed on human acne lesions and mouse skin challenged by C. acnes. A transcriptome consistent with adipogenesis was observed within specific fibroblast subsets from human acne and mouse skin lesions infected with C. acnes. Perifollicular dermal preadipocytes in human acne and mouse skin lesions showed colocalization of PREF1, an early marker of adipogenesis, and cathelicidin (Camp), an antimicrobial peptide. This capacity of C. acnes to trigger production of cathelicidin in preadipocytes was dependent on TLR2. Treatment of wild-type mice with retinoic acid (RA) suppressed the capacity of C. acnes to form acne-like lesions, inhibited adipogenesis and enhanced cathelicidin expression in preadipocytes, but lesions were unresponsive in Camp-/- mice, despite the anti-adipogenic action of RA. Analysis of inflamed skin of acne patients after retinoid treatment also showed enhanced induction of cathelicidin, a previously unknown beneficial effect of retinoids in difficult-to-treat acne. Overall, these data provide evidence that adipogenic fibroblasts are a critical component of the pathogenesis of acne and represent a potential target for future therapy.

Molecular typing and functional profiling of acne-derived Cutibacterium acnes isolates reveal determinants of skin inflammation

Project description:Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) is a ubiquitous skin commensal bacterium that is generally well tolerated by the immune system. Different strain-types of C. acnes have been reported to be enriched on patients with acne. To understand if these strain-types contribute to skin inflammation, we generated a library of over 200 C. acnes isolates from skin swabs of healthy and acne subjects and assessed their strain-level identity and inflammatory potential. Phylotype II K-type strains were more frequent on healthy and acne non-lesional skin compared to lesional. Phylotype IA-1 C-type strains were dominant on acne lesional skin but absent from healthy. Measurement of host cytokine responses from C. acnes supernatant revealed neither strain-type nor skin-type association predicted inflammatory potential. However, differential proinflammatory responses were induced from identical strain-types, but these differences were not attributable to protease, short chain fatty acid or porphyrin production. Instead, whole genome sequencing revealed the presence of a linear plasmid in high inflammatory strain-types. Intradermal injection of C. acnes in mouse skin revealed a plasmid-associated inflammatory response in dermal fibroblasts, revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing. We conclude that C. acnes strain-type is not sufficient to predict inflammation but other virulence factors including a plasmid may contribute to disease.

Single cell RNA-seq data comparing lesional (papules) and non-lesional skin biopsies of acne patients

Project description:We performed single-cell RNA seq analysis on skin biopsies from six acne patients with a total of 32,966 cells from lesional skin and 29,202 cells from non-lesional skin using 10X Genomics. Gene expression data derived from cells in both lesional and non-lesional skin were aligned and projected onto a two-dimensional space using UMAP (Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection). Unsupervised clustering revealed eight major clusters corresponding to seven different cell types lymphocytes, myeloid cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and melanocytes.

Enhanced Pathogenicity of Th17 cells Generated in the Absence of Transforming Growth Factor-β Signaling

Project description:CD4+ T cells that selectively produce interleukin (IL)-17, are critical for host defense and autoimmunity1-4. Crucial for T helper17 (Th17) cells in vivo5,6, IL-23 has been thought to be incapable of driving initial differentiation. Rather, IL-6 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 have been argued to be the factors responsible for initiating specification7-10. Herein, we show that Th17 differentiation occurs in the absence of TGF-β signaling. Neither IL-6 nor IL-23 alone efficiently generated Th17 cells; however, these cytokines in combination with IL-1β effectively induced IL-17 production in naïve precursors, independently of TGF-β. Epigenetic modification of the Il17a/Il17f and Rorc promoters proceeded without TGF-β1, allowing the generation of cells that co-expressed Rorγt and T-bet. T-bet+Rorγt+ Th17 cells are generated in vivo during experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), and adoptively transferred Th17 cells generated with IL-23 in the absence of TGF-β1 were more pathogenic in this experimental disease. These data suggest a new model for Th17 differentiation. Consistent with genetic data linking the IL23R with autoimmunity, our findings re-emphasize the role of IL-23 and therefore have important implications for the development of new therapies.
