Comparison of healthy, plaque psoriasis and pustular psoriasis FFPE skin biopsies

ABSTRACT: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, debilitating, and often life-threatening inflammatory disease characterized by episodic infiltration of neutrophils into the skin, pustule development, and systemic inflammation, which can manifest in the presence or absence of chronic plaque psoriasis (PV). Current treatments are unsatisfactory thus a better understanding the pathogenesis of GPP is warranted. To assess the pathophysiological differences between GPP and PV we performed a gene expression study on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsies of GPP (n=30) and PV (n=12) lesions and healthy control (n=20) skin. Compared with healthy skin, GPP lesions yielded 365 and PV 898 differentially expressed genes respectively, with 190 upregulated in both diseases. We detected higher expression of IL-1 and IL-36 cytokines in GPP lesions compared with PV, and this occurred proximal to neutrophils. We show both activated neutrophils and isolated neutrophil proteases can activate IL-36. Diverging from the Th1/Th17 pathophysiology of PV, significantly fewer IL23A, IL17A, IFNG, CXCL9, CXCL10 and MX1 transcripts were detected in GPP lesions. Our data indicate a level of sustained activation of IL-1 and IL-36 in GPP, inducing neutrophil chemokine expression, infiltration and pustule formation, suggesting that the IL-1 and IL-36 inflammatory axes are the main drivers of disease pathology in GPP.

Transcriptomic analysis of low-density neutrophils (LDNs) in acute generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP)

Project description:Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a severe disease featured by neutrophilic pustules and enhanced IL-36 inflammatory pathway in skin. Recently, a transcriptomic analysis of PBMCs and neutrophils in MPO-deficient GPP patients has been performed in stable disease state. However, transcriptomic profiling of PBMCs during acute flare of GPP is unclear. Here, we reported a predominant neutrophil signature in GPP PBMC and a marked increase in the CD66+CD16+ low-density neutrophils (LDNs) within the PBMC fraction of acute GPP patients. Transcriptomic and functional analysis of LDNs revealed a hypoinflammatory phenotype yet enhanced release of neutrophil granule proteases, implicating that LDNs might contribute to the IL-36-mediated inflammation in GPP patients.

Mature interleukin-36γ induces stratum corneum exfoliation in generalized pustular psoriasis by suppressing corneodesmosin

Project description:Loss-of-function mutations in the IL36RN gene encoding IL-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36RA) cause familial generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), which sometimes begins shortly after birth and is difficult to treat, and its effects on the epidermis are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the involvement of IL-36 receptor agonists in the epidermal formation of GPP. In this study, we found that IL-36 receptor agonists, especially mature IL-36γ, stimulate IL-8 and proIL-36γ production in the epidermis, while down-regulating the genes encoding epidermal cornified envelope-related proteins such as corneodesmosin. IL-36 receptor antagonists and monoclonal anti-IL-36γ antibodies counteract the effect of mature IL-36γ on corneodesmosin in keratinocytes in a dose-dependent manner. In the epidermis of generalized pustular psoriasis patients with IL36RN loss-of-function mutations, proIL-36γ is overproduced in the epidermis and corneodesmosin protein expression is markedly decreased in the region of giant subcorneal pustules called Kogoj’s spongiform pustules with high neutrophil infiltration. IL-8 induced by mature IL-36γ induces several neutrophils in the epidermis, and the newly produced proIL-36γ is cleaved to the mature form by neutrophil proteases. This newly produced mature IL-36γ was predicted to further suppress the gene expression of the granulosa-stratum-associated protein, corneodesmosin, leading to significant stratum corneum exfoliation and formation of giant subcorneal pustules. Overall, our results elucidate the mechanism underlying the formation of Kogoj’s spongiform pustules in generalized pustular psoriasis.

Gene expression in psoriasis lesions and uninvolved skin

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by marked proliferation of keratinocytes leading to pronounced epidermal hyperplasia, elongation of rete ridges and hyperkeratosis. The most common form of psoriasis, chronic plaque psoriasis (Psoriasis vulgaris), involves relatively stable occurrence and progression of sharply demarcated lesions, usually on the trunk and extremities, which share a combination of trademark histological features, including tortuous and dilated dermal capillaries, loss of the epidermal granular layer, and accumulation of neutrophils beneath parakeratotic scale. In this study, whole-genome transcriptional profiling was used to characterize gene expression in 4 lesional and uninvolved skin samples obtained from patients with stable chronic plaque psoriasis. Skin mRNA expression was analysed by microarray. Four individuals with chronic plaque psoriasis were enrolled. 6 mm punch biopsies were obtained under local anaesthesia (lidocaine) from uninvolved skin and a target plaque.

RNA-seq analysis of IL-1B and IL-36 responses in epidermal keratinocytes identifies a shared MyD88-dependent gene signature

Project description:IL-36 cytokines have recently emerged as mediators of inflammation in autoimmune conditions including psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) and generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP). This study used RNA-seq to profile the transcriptome of primary epidermal keratinocytes (KCs) treated with IL-1B, IL-36A, IL-36B or IL-36G. We identified some early IL-1B-specific responses (8 hours post-treatment), but nearly all late IL-1B responses were replicated by IL-36 cytokines (24 hours post-treatment). Type I and II interferon genes exhibited time-dependent response patterns, with early induction (8 hours) followed by no response or repression (24 hours). Altogether, we identified 225 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with shared responses to all 4 cytokines at both time points (8 + 24 hours). These involved up-regulation of ligands (IL1A, IL1B, IL36G) and activating proteases (CTSS), but also up-regulation of inhibitors such as IL1RN and IL36RN. Shared IL-1B/IL-36 DEGs overlapped significantly with genes altered in PsV and GPP skin lesions, as well as genes near GWAS loci linked to autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases (e.g., PsV, psoriatic arthritis, IBD, primary biliary cholangitis). Inactivation of MyD88 adapter protein using CRISPR/Cas9 completely abolished expression responses of such DEGs to IL-1B and IL-36G stimulation. These results provide a global view of IL-1B and IL-36 expression responses in epidermal KCs with fine-scale characterization of time-dependent and cytokine-specific response patterns. Our findings support an important role for IL-1B and IL-36 in autoimmune or autoinflammatory conditions and show that MyD88 adaptor protein mediates shared IL-1B/IL-36 responses.

A single intradermal injection of IFN-gamma induces a psoriasis-like state in both non-lesional psoriatic and healthy skin

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic, debilitating, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease. As IFN-gamma is involved in many cellular processes, including activation of T cells and dendritic cells (DCs), antigen processing and presentation, cell adhesion and trafficking, and cytokine and chemokine production, IFN-gamma-producing Th1 cells were proposed to be integral to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Recently, IFN-gamma was shown to enhance IL-23 and IL-1 production by DCs and subsequently induce Th17 cells, important contributors to the inflammatory cascade in psoriasis lesions. To determine if IFN-gamma indeed induces the pathways leading to the development of psoriasis lesions, a single intradermal injection of IFN-gamma was administered to an area of clinically normal, non-lesional skin of psoriasis patients and biopsies were collected 24 hours later. Although there were no visible changes in the skin, IFN-gamma induced molecular and histological features characteristic of psoriasis lesions. IFN-gamma increased a number of differentially expressed genes in the skin, including many chemokines concomitant with an influx of T cells and inflammatory DCs. Furthermore, inflammatory DC products TNF, iNOS, IL-23, and TRAIL were present in IFN-gamma-treated skin. Thus, IFN-gamma, which is significantly elevated in non-lesional skin compared to healthy skin, appears to be a key pathogenic cytokine that can induce the inflammatory cascade in psoriasis. RNA was isolated from whole skin punch biopsies of either healthy or non-lesional psoraisis patients at baseline or 24 hours after placebo or IFN-g injection.

Proteogenomic analysis of psoriasis reveals discordant and concordant changes in mRNA and protein abundance

Project description:Background: Psoriasis is a chronic disease characterized by the development of scaly red skin lesions and possible co-morbid conditions. The psoriasis lesional skin transcriptome has been extensively investigated, but mRNA levels do not necessarily reflect protein abundance. Methods: Lesional (PP) and uninvolved (PN) skin samples from 14 patients were analyzed using high-throughput complementary DNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Results: We identified 4122 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) along with 748 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). Global shifts in mRNA were modestly correlated with changes in protein abundance (r = 0.40). We identified similar numbers of increased and decreased DEGs, but 4-fold more increased than decreased DEPs. Ribosomal subunit and translation proteins were elevated within lesions, without a corresponding shift in mRNA expression (RPL3, RPS8, RPL11). We identified 209 differentially expressed genes/proteins (DEGPs) with corresponding trends at the transcriptome and proteomic levels. Most DEGPs were similarly altered in at least one other skin disease. Psoriasis-specific and non-specific DEGPs had distinct cytokine-response patterns, with only the former showing disproportionate induction by IL-17A in cultured keratinocytes. Conclusions: Our findings reveal global imbalance between the number of increased and decreased proteins in psoriasis lesions, consistent with heightened translation. This effect could not have been discerned from mRNA profiling data alone. We have also identified high-confidence DEGPs and shown that only those most specific to psoriasis are enriched with IL-17A targets.

Molecular and cellular profilling of scalp psoriasis reveals differences and similarities compared to skin psoriasis

Project description:Scalp psoriasis shows a variable clinical spectrum and in many cases poses a great therapeutic challenge. However, it remains unknown whether the immune response of scalp psoriasis differs from understood pathomechanisms of psoriasis on other skin areas. We sought to determine the cellular and mollecular phenotype of scalp psoriasis by performing a comparative analysis of scalp vs skin using lesional and nonlesional samples from 20 Caucasian subjects with untreated moderate to severe psoriasis and significant scalp involvement, and 10 control subjects without psoriasis. Our results suggest that even in the scalp psoriasis is a disease of the inter-follicular skin. The immune mechanisms that mediate scalp psoriasis were found to be similar to those involved in skin psoriasis. However, the magnitude of dysregulation, number of differentially expressed genes, and enrichment of the psoriatic genomic fingerprinting were more prominent in skin lesions. Furthermore, the scalp transcriptome showed increased modulation of several gene-sets, particularly those induced by interferon-gamma, compared with skin psoriasis which was mainly associated with activation of TNFâµ/L-17/IL-22-induced keratinocyte response genes. We also detected differences in expression of gene-sets involving negative regulation, epigenetic regulation, epidermal differentiation, and dendritic cell or Th1/Th17/Th22-related T-cell processes. To define the transcriptomic profile of scalp skin, punch biopsies (6 mm diameter) were obtained from 20 Caucasian patients with untreated moderate to severe psoriasis with significative scalp involvement and 10 control subjects without psoriasis (N). Lesional (LS) samples were isolated from the infiltrated border of a plaque of psoriasis. Non lesional (NL) samples were taken from scalp areas with no visible psoriasis between the infiltrated plaques.

Upregulation of BTN3A1 on CD14+ cells promotes Vγ9Vδ2 T cells activation in psoriasis vulgaris

Project description:Vγ9Vδ2 T cells play an important role in the development and progression of psoriasis vulgaris (PV), but how they promote skin inflammation and the molecular mechanisms underlying Vγ9Vδ2 T cell dysfunction are poorly understood. Here, we show that circulating Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are decreased and exhibit enhanced proliferation and increased production of IFN-γ and TNF-α in PV patients. Monocytes from PV patients express higher levels of the phosphoantigen sensor butyrophilin 3A1 (BTN3A1) than monocytes from healthy controls. Blockade of BTN3A1 suppresses Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation and abolishes the difference in Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation between PV patients and healthy controls. The CD14+ cells in PV skin lesions highly express BTN3A1 and juxtapose to Vδ2 T cells. In addition, IFN-γ induces the up-regulation of BTN3A1 on monocytes. Collectively, our results demonstrate a crucial role of BTN3A1 on monocytes in regulating Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation and highlight BTN3A1 as a potential therapeutic target for psoriasis.
