Identification of novel gene signatures in patients with atopic dermatitis complicated by eczema herpeticum

ABSTRACT: Background: A subset of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is prone to disseminated herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, i.e. eczema herpeticum (ADEH+). Biomarkers that identify ADEH+ are lacking. Objective: To search for novel ADEH+ gene signatures in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Methods: A RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) approach was applied to evaluate global transcriptional changes using PBMCs from ADEH+ and AD without a history of EH (ADEH-). Candidate genes were confirmed by qPCR or ELISA. Results: ADEH+ PBMCs had distinct changes to the transcriptome when compared to ADEH- PBMCs following HSV-1 stimulation: 792 genes were differentially expressed at a false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05 (ANOVA), and 15 type I and type III interferon (IFN) genes were among the top 20 most down-regulated genes in ADEH+. We further validated that IFN-α and IL-29 mRNA and protein levels were significantly decreased in HSV-1 stimulated PBMCs from ADEH+ compared to ADEH- and normal. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) demonstrated that the up-stream regulators of type I and type III IFNs, IRF3 and IRF7 was significantly inhibited in ADEH+ based on the down-regulation of their target genes. Furthermore, we found that gene expression of IRF3 and IRF7 were significantly decreased in HSV-1 stimulated PBMC from ADEH+ subjects. Conclusions: PBMCs from ADEH+ have a distinct immune response following HSV-1 exposure compared to ADEH- . Inhibition of the IRF3 and IRF7 innate immune pathways in ADEH+ may be the important mechanisms for increased susceptibility to disseminated viral infection.

Response of IRF7-deficient peripheral blood mononuclear cells to pH1N1 influenza virus infection

Project description:IRF7 plays a critical role in the production and amplification of the antiviral type I and III interferon response. Autosomal recessive IRF7-deficiency resulted in life-threatening influenza disease in a 3-year-old child. We studied the impact of IRF7-deficiency in non-hematopoietic tissues (fibroblasts and lung epithelial cells) as well in hematopoietic cells (peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)). Genome-wide gene expression analysis demonstrated a profound loss of type I and III IFNs in PBMCs infected with influenza virus. PBMCs were isolated from 4 healthy donors and patients with deficiencies for IRF7 and UNC93B. The cells were infected with influenza virus A/CA/4/2009 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 2 for 8 and 16 hours. Uninfected cells were cultured for 16 hours.

Atopic dermatitis complicated by recurrent eczema herpeticum is characterized by multiple, concurrent epidermal inflammatory endotypes

Project description:A subgroup of atopic dermatitis (AD) patients suffers from recurrent, disseminated herpes simplex virus (HSV) skin infections, eczema herpeticum (EH). To determine transcriptional mechanisms of the skin and immune system pathobiology that underlies ADEH disease development, we performed RNA-sequencing analysis of non-lesional skin (epidermis, dermis) from AD patients with (ADEH+, n=15) and without (ADEH-, n=13) history of EH, and healthy controls (HC, n=15). We also performed RNA-sequencing on participants’ plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) infected in vitro with HSV-1. ADEH+ patients exhibited dysregulated gene expression, limited in dermis (differentially expressed genes [DEGs]=14) and more widespread in epidermis (DEGs=129). ADEH+-upregulated epidermal DEGs were enriched in type 2 cytokine (T2) (IL4R, CCL22, CRLF2, IL7R), interferon (CXCL10, ICAM1, IFI44, IRF7), and IL-36γ (IL36G) inflammatory gene pathways. All ADEH+ participants exhibited T2 and interferon endotypes and 87% were IL36G-high. In contrast, these endotypes were more variably expressed among ADEH- participants. ADEH+ skin also dysregulated epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) gene expression within LCE, S100, and SPRR families, which are involved in skin barrier function and antimicrobial activities. pDC transcriptional responses to HSV-1 infection were unaltered by ADEH status. Pathobiology underlying ADEH+ risk is associated with a unique, multi-faceted epidermal inflammation that accompanies dysregulation of EDC genes. These findings will help direct future studies that define how these inflammatory patterns may drive risk of eczema herpeticum in AD.

Borrelia burgdorferi induces a type I interferon response during early stages of disseminated infection in mice

Project description:Background: Lyme borrelia genotypes differ in their capacity to cause disseminated disease. Gene array analysis was employed to profile the host transcriptome induced by Borrelia burgdorferi strains with different capacities for causing disseminated disease in the blood of C3H/HeJ mice during early infection. Results: Borrelia burgdorferi B515, a clinical isolate that causes disseminated infection in mice, differentially regulated 236 transcripts (P<0.05 by ANOVA, with fold change of at least 2). The 216 significantly induced transcripts included IFN-responsive genes and genes involved in immunity and inflammation. In contrast, B. burgdorferi B331, a clinical isolate that causes transient skin infection but does not disseminate in C3H/HeJ mice, stimulated changes in only a few genes (1 induced, 4 repressed). Transcriptional regulation of type I IFN and IFN-related genes was measured by quantitative RT-PCR in mouse skin biopsies collected from the site of infection 24 hours after inoculation with B. burgdorferi. The mean values for transcript of Ifnb, Cxcl10, Gbp1, Ifit1, Ifit3, Irf7, Mx1, and Stat2, were found to be significantly increased in B. burgdorferi strain B515-infected mice relative to the control group. In contrast, transcription of these genes was not significantly changed in response to B. burgdorferi strain B331 or B31-4, a mutant that is unable to disseminate. Conclusions: These results establish a positive association between the disseminating capacity of B. burgdorferi and early type I IFN induction in a murine model of Lyme disease.

RELA tunes innate-like interferon I/III responses in human T cells

Project description:In innate immune cells, intracellular sensors such as cGAS-STING stimulate type I/III interferon (IFN) expression, which promotes antiviral defense and immune activation. However, how IFN-I/III expression is controlled in adaptive cells is poorly understood. Here, we identify a transcriptional rheostat orchestrated by RELA that confers human T cells with innate-like abilities to produce IFN-I/III. Despite intact cGAS-STING signaling, IFN-I/III responses are stunted in CD4+ T cells compared with dendritic cells or macrophages. We find that lysine residues in RELA tune the IFN-I/III response at baseline and in response to STING stimulation in CD4+ T cells. This response requires positive feedback driven by cGAS and IRF7 expression. By combining RELA with IRF3 and DNA demethylation, IFN-I/III production in CD4+ T cells reaches levels observed in dendritic cells. IFN-I/III production provides self-protection of CD4+ T cells against HIV infection and enhances the elimination of tumor cells by CAR T cells. Therefore, innate-like functions can be tuned and leveraged in human T cells.

Integrative mRNA-miRNA interaction analysis associated with the immune response in the head kidney of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus infection

Project description:Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is an important cold-water fish widely cultivated in China. The frequent occurrence of viral diseases caused by infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) seriously restricted the healthy development of the rainbow trout farming industry. However, the immune defense mechanism induced by IHNV in rainbow trout has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we detected mRNA and miRNA expression profiles in rainbow trout head kidney after IHNV infection and the expression patterns of key immune-related genes at different post-infection periods (0-, 6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, 72-, 96-, 120- and 144 hours post-infection (hpi)) using RNA-seq and qRT-PCR. The results showed that a total of 7486 genes and 277 miRNAs were differentially expressed, and numerous differentially expressed genes (DEGs) enriched in the immune-related pathways such as Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathway, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and JAK-STAT signaling pathway were significantly up-regulated, including LGP2, MDA5, TRIM25, IRF3, IRF7, TLR3, TLR7, TLR8, MYD88, IFN1, MX1 and VIG-1. Integration analysis identified six miRNAs (miR-141-y, miR-200-y, miR-144-y, miR-2188-y, miR-725-y and miR-203-y) that target at least four key immune-related genes (TRIM25, LGP2, TLR3, TLR7, IRF3 and IRF7). Expression analysis showed that TRIM25, MDA5, LGP2, TLR3, TLR7, IRF3, IRF7, IFN1, MX1 and VIG-1 genes increased firstly and then decreased, and reached peak expression at 48 hpi. These findings improve our understanding of the immune mechanism of rainbow trout infected with IHNV, and provide a basic data for future breeding for disease resistance in rainbow trout.
