Project description:Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a kind of IgG-mediated autoimmune blistering disease (AIBD). The peripheral immune system plays a vital role in the pathophysiology of pemphigus vulgaris. This study aimed to explore the changes of peripheral immune cells of the patient before and after medication administration.

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells function by eliminating virus-infected cells or tumor cells. Here, we identified a NK lineage-biased progenitor population, termed early NK progenitors (ENKP), which developed into NK cells independently of common precursors for ILCs (ILCPs). ENKP-derived NK cells (ENKP_ NK cells) and ILCP-derived NK cells (ILCP_ NK cells) were also transcriptionally different. We devised combinations of surface markers that identified highly enriched ENKP_NK and ILCP_NK cell populations in wild-type mice. Furthermore, Ly49H+ NK cells that responded to mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection primarily developed from ENKPs whereas ILCP_NK cells were better IFN-g producers upon Salmonella and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infections. Interestingly, human CD56dim and CD56bright NK cells were transcriptionally similar to ENKP_NK cells and ILCP_NK cells, respectively. Our findings establish the existence of two pathways of NK cell development that generate functionally distinct NK cell subsets in mice, and further suggest these pathways may be conserved in humans.

Project description:Lineage analysis of autoreactive B cells can reveal the origins of autoimmunity. In the autoimmune disease pemphigus vulgaris (PV), desmoglein 3 (DSG3) and DSG1 autoantibodies are predominantly of the IgG4 subclass and less frequently of IgG1 and IgA subclasses, prompting us to investigate whether anti-DSG IgG4 B cells share lineages with IgG1, IgA1, and IgA2. Combining subclass-specific B cell deep sequencing with high-throughput antibody screening, we identified 80 DSG-reactive lineages from 4 PV patients. Most anti-DSG IgG4 B cells lacked clonal relationships to other subclasses and preferentially targeted DSG adhesion domains, whereas anti-DSG IgA frequently evolved from or to other subclasses and recognized a broader range of epitopes. Our findings suggest that anti-DSG IgG4 B cells predominantly evolve independently or diverge early from other subclasses and that IgA is most often not the origin of IgG autoreactivity in PV. These data provide insight into how autoreactivity diversifies across B cell subclasses.

Project description:Thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group box protein family member 2 (TOX2) is a transcription factor belonging to the TOX family that shares a highly conserved high mobility group DNA binding domain with the other TOX members. While TOX1 has been shown to be an essential regulator of T-cell and natural killer (NK) cell differentiation in mice, little is known about the roles of the other TOX family members in lymphocyte development, particularly in humans. In this study, we found that TOX2 was preferentially expressed in mature human NK cells and was upregulated during in vitro differentiation of NK cells from human umbilical cord blood (UCB)M-bM-^@M-^Sderived CD34+ cells. Gene silencing of TOX2 intrinsically hindered the transition between early developmental stages of NK cells, while overexpression of TOX2 enhanced the development of mature NK cells from UCB CD34+ cells. We subsequently found that TOX2 was independent of ETS-1 but could directly upregulate the transcription of TBX21 (encoding T-BET). Overexpression of T-BET rescued the TOX2 knockdown phenotypes. Given the essential function of T-BET in NK cell differentiation, TOX2 therefore plays a crucial role in controlling normal NK cell development by acting upstream of TBX21 transcriptional regulation. survey of NK cells over time

Project description:XPO1 is a nuclear export protein that is frequently overexpressed in cancer and functions as a driver of oncogenesis. Currently small molecules that target XPO1 are being used in the clinic as anti-cancer agents. We identify XPO1 as a target for natural killer (NK) cells. Using immunopeptidomics we have identified a peptide derived from XPO1 that can be recognized by the activating NK cell receptor KIR2DS2 in the context of HLA-C. The peptide can be endogenously processed and presented to activate NK cells specifically through this receptor. Although high XPO1 expression in cancer is commonly associated with a poor prognosis, we show that the outcome of specific cancers, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, can be substantially improved if there is concomitant evidence of NK cell infiltration. We thus identify XPO1 as a bona fide tumor antigen recognised by NK cells, that offers an opportunity for a personalized approach to NK cell therapy for solid tumors.

Project description:Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare blistering disease caused by IgG autoantibodies against the epidermal adhesion molecules desmoglein (Dsg)3 and Dsg1 providing a well-characterized paradigm of an antibody-mediated organ-specific autoimmune disease. In PV patients who have achieved clinical remission after B cell-depleting therapy, relapses often coincide with a reoccurrence of B cells and Dsg-specific autoantibodies. Here, we analyzed Dsg3-specific B cell subpopulations (i.e., total CD19+ B cells, CD19+CD27-B cells, CD19+CD27+ memory B cells, and CD19+CD27hiCD38hi plasmablasts) in peripheral blood of both PV patients (n = 14) at different stages of disease and healthy individuals (n = 14) by flow cytometry using fluorescently labeled recombinant human Dsg3 protein. Applying this approach, Dsg3-specific B cells could be detected at low frequencies (0.11-0.53% of CD19+ B cells) and numbers of Dsg3-specific memory B cells were significantly increased in PV patients in clinical remission receiving minimal immunosuppressive therapy. Finally, we confirmed in vitro that Dsg3-reactive memory B cells were able to produce anti-Dsg3 IgG autoantibodies upon ex vivo activation. Thus, monitoring of Dsg3-specific B cells in PV is of particular interest to further characterize the immunopathogenesis of PV.
