Project description:Pemphigus, a rare autoimmune bullous disease mediated by anti-desmoglein autoantibodies, can be controlled with systemic medication like rituximab and high-dose systemic corticosteroids combined with immunosuppressants. However, some patients continue to experience chronically recurrent blisters in a specific area, requiring long-term maintenance systemic therapy. We demonstrate the presence of skin tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) with desmoglein-specific B cells in chronic blisters from pemphigus patients. In the skin TLSs, CD4+ T cells predominantly produced CXCL13. These clonally expanded CXCL13+CD4+ T cells exhibited features of activated Th1-like cells and downregulated genes associated with T-cell receptor-mediated signaling. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are in direct contact with CXCL13+CD4+ memory T cells and increased CXCL13 production of CD4+ T cells through IL-2 consumption and TGF-β stimulation. Lastly, Intralesional corticosteroid injection improved chronic blisters and reduce skin TLSs in patients with pemphigus. This study concludes that skin TLSs are associated with the persistence of chronically recurrent blisters in pemphigus patients, and the microenvironmental network involving CXCL13+CD4+ T cells and Tregs within these structures plays an important role in CXCL13 production.

Project description:BACKGROUNDPemphigus, a rare autoimmune bullous disease mediated by antidesmoglein autoantibodies, can be controlled with systemic medication like rituximab and high-dose systemic corticosteroids combined with immunosuppressants. However, some patients continue to experience chronically recurrent blisters in a specific area and require long-term maintenance systemic therapy.METHODSSkin with chronic blisters was obtained from patients with pemphigus. Immunologic properties of the skin were analyzed by immunofluorescence staining, bulk and single-cell RNA and TCR sequencing, and a highly multiplex imaging technique known as CO-Detection by indEXing (CODEX). Functional analyses were performed by flow cytometry and bulk RNA-Seq using peripheral blood from healthy donors. Intralesional corticosteroid was injected into patient skin, and changes in chronically recurrent blisters were observed.RESULTSWe demonstrated the presence of skin tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) with desmoglein-specific B cells in chronic blisters from patients with pemphigus.

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:SLE is prototypical autoimmune disease driven by pathologic T cell-B cell interactions. Expansion of B cell-helper T cells including T follicular helper (Tfh) and T peripheral helper (Tph) cells is a prominent feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Human Tfh and Tph cells characteristically produce high levels of the B cell chemoattractant CXCL13, yet regulation of T cell CXCL13 production and the relationship between CXCL13+ T cells and other T cell states remains unclear. Here, we identify an imbalance in CD4 T cell phenotypes in SLE patients, with expansion of PD-1+/ICOS+ CXCL13+ T cells and reduction of CD96hi IL-22+ T cells. Using CRISPR screens, we identify the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) as a potent negative regulator of CXCL13 production by human CD4 T cells. Transcriptomic, epigenetic, and functional studies demonstrate that AHR coordinates with AP-1 family member JUN to prevent CXCL13+ Tph/Tfh cell differentiation and promote an IL-22+ phenotype. Type I interferon (IFN), a pathogenic driver of SLE, opposes AHR and JUN to promote T cell production of CXCL13. These results place CXCL13+ Tph/Tfh cells on a polarization axis opposite from Th22 cells and reveal AHR, JUN, and IFN as key regulators of these divergent T cell states.

Project description:To understand the molecular and immunological mechanisms of remission in pemphigus patients. Remission was evaluated 5 years after rituximab onset. PBMC were purified from pemphigus whole blood patients. CD4+ T cells and CD19+ B cells were isolated by flow cytometry. Genes differentially regulated between CR and IR both in CD4+ and CD19+ cells were identified by transcriptomic approach (whole human genome).

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to characterise the follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) upon antigen-immunocomplex immunisation. Methods: FACS sorting of Live/Death- Podoplanin+ CD31- CD45- CXCL13-TdTomato+ after LN disgregation of CXCL13-CreTdTomato mice. Mice has been previously immunised with antigen-Ics at different time-points. Cells were loaded into 10x Genomics Chromium Platform, and sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 4000. Conclusions: Our study detects previously identified stromal cell populations and shows the heterogeneity present on the FDCs. We detect 3 different FDC clusters.
