Project description:The autoimmune disease lupus erythematosus (lupus) is characterized in part by photosensitivity, where patients can develop inflammatory skin lesions with even ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. Evidence points to a role for type I interferon (IFN-I) in photosensitivity, but mechanistic understanding remains limited. We have shown that photosensitivity in lupus models is at least in part attributable to Langerhans cell (LC) dysfunction. Healthy LCs limit photosensitivity via a disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17), a sheddase that normally limits UVR-induced skin inflammation by releasing soluble epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands to support keratinocyte survival. On the other hand, LCs from lesional and even non-lesional lupus model skin show reduced ADAM17 activity and mRNA expression. Non-lesional human lupus skin also showed evidence of LC dysfunction, and, here, we asked how the lupus skin environment contributes to this dysfunction. We show that non-lesional skin in human CLE and multiple photosensitive lupus models share gene expression patterns consistent with a high IFN environment and LC dysfunction. IFN-I inhibits murine and human LC ADAM17 activity, and anti-IFNAR1 in lupus models restores LC ADAM17 function and reduces photosensitivity in EGFR and LC ADAM17-dependent manners. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a mediator of ADAM17 activity, and we show that lupus models have reduced UVR-induced LC ROS generation that is restored by anti-IFNAR1. Our findings suggest shared pathogenic mechanisms of photosensitivity in human and murine lupus skin and a model whereby the IFN-I-rich microenvironment in non-lesional lupus skin inhibits UVR-induced ADAM17 activity, predisposing to photosensitivity. Our data also suggest that the beneficial effects of the recently FDA-approved anifrolumab (anti-IFNAR1) on human lupus skin could act in part by restoring LC function.

Project description:Adam17, a shedding protease, is strongly upregtulated during inflammation and cancer. Here we investigate the genome wide effects of Adam17 knock out on the transcriptome. Mouse tissue samples from n=3 wildtype colon, n=3 Adam17 knockout colon, n=3 wildtype skin and n=3 Adam17 knockout skin were used in the study.

Project description:This study investigates the role of ADAM17 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17) in skin homeostasis. Here, we show that mice lacking ADAM17 in keratinocytes have a normal epidermal barrier and skin architecture at birth, but develop pronounced defects in epidermal barrier integrity soon after birth and chronic dermatitis as adults. The dysregulated expression of epidermal differentiation proteins becomes evident 2 days after birth, followed by transepidermal water loss and inflammatory immune cell infiltration. Our results identify a previously unappreciated critical role of the ADAM17/EGFR signaling axis in maintaining the homeostasis of the postnatal epidermal barrier. The genome-wide effects of ADAM17 deficiency were analyzed using Agilent Whole Mouse Genome microarrays. Conditional keratinocyte-specific ADAM17 knockout mice were generated by crossing Adam17flox/flox mice with keratin-14-Cre (Krt14-Cre) transgenic mice. Adam17flox/+Krt14-Cre mice were mated with Adam17flox/flox mice to generate pups of Adam17flox/flox Krt14-Cre positive (cKO) and Krt14-Cre negative (wild-type) control littermates. The genetic background was a mix of 129Sv and C57BL/6. As material, back skin tissue biopsies (postnatal day 10) from n = 2 wild-type skin and n = 2 ADAM17 epidermal KO skin (matched WT-cKO pairs from two different litters) were used in this study.

Project description:Lupus nephritis (LN) often results in progressive renal dysfunction. The inactive Rhomboid 2 (iRhom2) is a newly identified key regulator of A disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17), whose substrates, such as TNF-α and heparin-binding EGF (HB-EGF), have been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease. Here we demonstrate that deficiency of iRhom2 protects the lupus-prone Fcgr2b-/- mice from developing severe kidney damage without altering anti-double stranded (ds) DNA Ab production, by simultaneously blocking the HB-EGF/EGFR and the TNF-α signaling in the kidney tissues. Unbiased transcriptome profiling of kidneys and kidney macrophages revealed that TNF-α and HB-EGF/EGFR signaling pathways are highly upregulated in Fcgr2b-/- mice; alterations that were diminished in the absence of iRhom2. Pharmacological blockade of either TNF-α or EGFR signaling protected Fcgr2b-/- mice from severe renal damage. Finally, kidneys from LN patients showed increased iRhom2 and HB-EGF expression, with interstitial HB-EGF expression significantly associated with chronicity indices. Our data suggest that activation of iRhom2/ADAM17-dependent TNF-α and EGFR signaling plays a crucial role in mediating irreversible kidney damage in LN, thereby uncovering a novel target for selective and simultaneous dual inhibition of two major pathological pathways in the effector arm of the disease.

Project description:Acute and chronic pancreatitis, the latter associated with fibrosis, are multifactorial inflammatory disorders and leading causes of gastrointestinal disease-related hospitalisation, including death. Despite the global health burden of pancreatitis, currently there are no effective therapeutic agents. In this regard, the protease A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) mediates inflammatory responses through shedding of bioactive inflammatory cytokines and mediators, including tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) and the soluble interleukin (IL)-6 receptor (sIL-6R), the latter of which drives proinflammatory IL-6 trans-signalling. However, the role of ADAM17 in pancreatitis is unclear. To address this, Adam17ex/ex mice – which are homozygous for the hypomorphic Adam17ex allele resulting in marked reduction in ADAM17 expression – and their wild-type (WT) littermates were exposed to the cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis model, and acute (1-week) and chronic (20-weeks) pancreatitis models induced by the cigarette smoke carcinogen nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK). Our data reveal that ADAM17 expression was upregulated in pancreatic tissues of animal models of pancreatitis. Moreover, the genetic (Adam17ex/ex mice) and therapeutic (ADAM17 prodomain inhibitor; A17pro) targeting of ADAM17 ameliorated experimental pancreatitis, which was associated with a reduction in the IL-6 trans-signalling/STAT3 axis. This led to reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, including T cells and neutrophils, as well as necrosis and fibrosis in the pancreas. Furthermore, upregulation of the ADAM17/IL-6 trans-signalling/STAT3 axis was a feature of pancreatitis patients. Collectively, our findings indicate that the ADAM17 protease plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of pancreatitis, which could pave the way for devising novel therapeutic options to be deployed against this disease.
