Project description:Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) confers high risk for macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), a life-threatening episode of hyperinflammation driven by IFN-γ. Monocytes in SJIA display IFNγ-hyperresponsiveness, but the molecular basis of this remains unclear. The objective of this study is to identify circulating monocyte polarization phenotypes including features of interferon response. Bulk RNA-seq of purified monocytes was performed on healthy controls as well as patients with inactive SJIA (satisfy Wallace criteria for clinically inactive disease), active SJIA, new-onset SJIA (NOS), and macrophage activation syndrome (2016 MAS Classification Criteria). We observed marked transcriptional changes in patients with elevated ferritin levels. We also identified substantial overlap with multiple polarization states but little evidence of IFN-induced signature.

Project description:Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) is a chronic childhood arthropathy with features of autoinflammation. Early inflammatory SJIA is associated with expansion and activation of neutrophils with a sepsis-like phenotype, but neutrophil phenotypes present in longstanding and clinically inactive disease (CID) are unknown. The objective of this study was to examine activated neutrophil subsets, S100 alarmin release, and gene expression signatures in children with a spectrum of SJIA disease activity. Methods: Highly-purified neutrophils were isolated using a two-step procedure of density-gradient centrifugation followed by magnetic-bead based negative selection prior to flow cytometry or cell culture to quantify S100 protein release. Whole transcriptome gene expression profiles were compared in neutrophils from children with both active SJIA and CID. Results: Patients with SJIA and active systemic features demonstrated a higher number of CD16+CD62Llo neutrophil population compared to controls. This neutrophil subset was not seen in patients with CID or patients with active arthritis not exhibiting systemic features. Using imaging flow cytometry, CD16+CD62Llo neutrophils from patients with active SJIA and features of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) had increased nuclear hypersegmentation compared to CD16+CD62L+ neutrophils. Serum levels of S100A8/A9 and S100A12 were strongly correlated with peripheral blood neutrophil counts. Neutrophils from active SJIA patients did not show enhanced resting S100 protein release; however, regardless of disease activity, neutrophils from SJIA patients did show enhanced S100A8/A9 release upon PMA stimulation compared to control neutrophils. Furthermore, whole transcriptome analysis of highly purified neutrophils from children with active SJIA identified 214 differentially expressed genes compared to neutrophils from healthy controls. The most significantly upregulated gene pathway was Immune System Process, including AIM2, IL18RAP, and NLRC4. Interestingly, this gene set showed intermediate levels of expression in neutrophils from patients with long-standing CID yet persistent serum IL-18 elevation. Indeed, all patient samples regardless of disease activity demonstrated elevated inflammatory gene expression, including inflammasome components and S100A8. Conclusion: We identify features of neutrophil activation in SJIA patients with active disease and CID, including a proinflammatory gene expression signature, reflecting persistent innate immune activation. Taken together, these studies expand understanding of neutrophil function in chronic autoinflammatory disorders such as SJIA.

Project description:Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) is a clinically heterogenous systemic inflammatory disorder sometimes complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) and lung disease (LD), which are thought to be driven by IFN signaling. To identify cellular sources and novel gene programs underlying SJIA pathogenesis, we performed the first in-depth single-cell RNA Sequencing (scRNA-Seq) analysis of 21 SJIA, SJIA-LD, and SJIA-MAS patient PBMCs. To define novel heterogenous patient-subtypes associated with shared transcriptional responses and associate these with clinical and diagnostic metadata, we developed the tools UDON and SATAY-UDON. These tools identify hidden patient-subtypes, including a novel Complement and IFN signaling gene program expressed by SJIA-LD monocyte populations, unravel cellular sources of IFN signaling in SJIA-MAS as CD4 T cells and monocytic cell types, and identify a previously unknown role for platelets and S100 proteins as drivers of systemic inflammation. These data provide insights into new potential therapeutic targets for SJIA complications.

Project description:Objective. Previous observations suggest that active systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is associated with a prominent erythropoiesis gene expression signature. The aim of this study was to determine the association of this signature with peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) subpopulations and its specificity for sJIA as compared to related conditions. 125 patients with JIA (18 sJIA and 107 non-sJIA) and 29 controls were studied. PBMC were isolated and analyzed for multiple surface antigens by flow cytometry and for gene expression profiles. The proportions of different PBMC subpopulations were compared among sJIA, non-sJIA patients and controls and subsequently correlated with the strength of the erythropoiesis signature. Additional gene expression data from patients with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHLH) and from a published sJIA cohort were analyzed to determine if the erythropoiesis signature was present. Keywords: Patient Vs Control, reassassment of phenotype

Project description:Background: Systemic-Onset Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA) is a rare disease associated with dysregulated interleukin (IL)-1 activity. Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of Anakinra, an IL-1 receptor antagonist in SJIA and its effects on gene expression profiling. Methods: We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial. The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of a one-month treatment with anakinra (2 mg/kg subcutaneoulsy daily, maximum 100 mg) to a placebo between 2 groups of 12 SJIA patients each. Response was defined by a 30% improvement of the pediatric American College of Rheumatology criteria for JIA, resolution of systemic symptoms and a decrease of at least 50% of both C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate compared to baseline. An intention-to-treat analyze was performed. After Month 1 (M1), patients taking placebo were switched to Anakinra. Secondary objectives included tolerance and efficacy assessment for 12 months. Results: At M1, concluding the randomized trial, there was a significant difference in the response rate between patients treated with Anakinra (8/12 responders) and placebo (1/12) (p=0.003). The number of adverse events, mainly pain to injections, was similar between both groups. Ten patients from the placebo group switched to Anakinra at M1; nine were responders at M2. Between M1 and M12, six patients stopped treatment for an adverse event (Crohn’s disease, hepatitis), a lack of efficacy or a disease flare (2 cases each). Blood gene expression profiling at enrollment and upon follow-up allowed us to identify one set of dysregulated genes that reverted to normal values in the clinical responders and a second set, including interferon-inducible genes, that was induced by Anakinra. Conclusion: Anakinra is an effective treatment of SJIA. Its effect is associated with normalization of blood gene expression profiles in clinical responders and de novo induction of an interferon signature.

Project description:This study investigated neutrophils in systemic onset Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA), one of the most common multifactorial autoinflammatory diseases, characterized by arthritis and severe systemic inflammatory manifestations like fever, rash, hepatosplenomegaly and serositis. Neutrophil counts were markedly increased at disease onset, correlated to levels of inflammatory mediators and normalized within days after initiation of therapy with recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist (rIL-1RA). Neutrophils isolated from 3 sJIA patients with active disease, before initiation of therapy (2 disease onset, 1 systemic flare) and 3 healthy controls were compared. A clear separation between the transcriptome of sJIA patients and HCs was observed. In total, 1068 genes were significantly upregulated and 625 genes were downregulated in sJIA; GO-analyses indicated upregulation of inflammatory processes in sJIA neutrophils compared to HCs. GSEA analyses revealed a significant enrichment with the transcriptome of neutrophils in sepsis patients. Correspondingly, neutrophils from sJIA patients during active disease displayed a primed phenotype characterized by an increased respiratory burst, CD62L shedding and degranulation of secretory vesicles. This phenotype was completely reversed in sJIA patients in remission on rIL-1RA. Our data show an important role for neutrophils in the early inflammatory phase of sJIA and a strong susceptibility of neutrophil numbers and inflammatory activity to IL-1 signaling blockade.
