Project description:Expression data from LCH lesion subpopulations and healthy donors' peripheral blood specimens Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a myeloproliferative disorder that is characterized by the inflammatory lesions with pathogenic CD1a+CD207+ dendritic cells (DCs). BRAFV600E and other somatic activating MAPK gene mutations have been identified in differentiating bone marrow and blood myeloid cells, but the origin of the LCH lesion CD1a+CD207+DCs and mechanisms of lesion formation remain incompletely defined. In order to identify candidate LCH CD1a+CD207+DCs’ precursor populations, gene expression profiles of LCH lesion CD1a+CD207+DCs were first compared to established gene signatures from human myeloid cell subpopulations. Interestingly, the CD1c+ myeloid DC (mDC) gene signature was most enriched in the LCH CD1a+CD207+DC’ transcriptome. Additionally, the BRAFV600E allele was not only localized to CD1a+CD207-DCs and CD1a+CD207+DCs, but it was also identified in CD1c+mDCs in LCH lesions. Transcriptomes of CD1a+CD207-DCs were nearly indistinguishable from CD1a+CD207+DCs (both CD207low and CD207high subpopulations). Transcription profiles of LCH lesion CD1a+CD207+DCs and peripheral blood CD1c+mDCs from healthy donors were compared to identify potential LCH DC-specific biomarkers. HLADQB2 expression was significantly increased in LCH lesion CD1a+CD207+DCs compared to circulating CD1c+mDCs from healthy donors, and HLA-DQB2 antigen was identified on LCH lesion CD1a+CD207- and CD1a+CD207+DCs as well as on CD1c+(CD1a+CD207-) mDCs, but not in any other lesion myeloid subpopulations. Interestingly, HLADQB2 expression was specific to peripheral blood of patients with BRAFV600E+ peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and HLA-DQB2+CD1c+blood cells were highly enriched for the BRAFV600E in these patients. These data support a model where blood CD1c+mDCs with activated ERK migrate to lesion sites where they differentiate into pathogenic CD1a+CD207+ DCs.

Project description:Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disease characterized by the accumulation of eponymous CD1a+ Langerin+ Langerhans-cell (LC)-like dendritic cells (DC) of largely unknown origin. Here we have performed comparative transcriptome analysis of highly purified CD207+/CD1a+ Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) cells derived from different locations and disease courses and three major human dendritic cell lineages: epidermal Langerhans cells, myeloid dendritic cells (mDC1) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) in order to investigate the relationship between LCH cells and naturally occurring dendritic cells. Data obtained indicate that LCH cells form a distinct DC entity. Furthermore, we have identified transcripts that are uniquely expressed by LCH cells in comparison to LC, mDC1, and pDC, and induce LCH-specific features in human DC. Primary cells were isolated from peripheral blood (mDC1 and pDC), skin (epidermal Langerhans cells) and CD207+/CD1a+ Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) cells derived from different locations. RNA was isolated from these cells ex vivo.

Project description:Langerhans-cell histiocytosis (LCH) is characterized by heterogeneous lesions containing CD207+ Langerhans cells (LCs) and lymphocytes. In this study, we isolated CD207+ cells and CD3+ T cells from LCH lesions to determine cell-specific gene expression. Compared to control epidermal CD207+ cells, the LCH CD207+ cells yielded 2113 differentially-expressed genes (FDR<0.01). Surprisingly, expression of many genes previously associated with LCH, including cell-cycle regulators, pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were not significantly different from control LCs in our study. However, several novel genes whose products activate and recruit T cells to sites of inflammation, including SPP1 (osteopontin), were highly over-expressed in LCH CD207+ cells. Furthermore, several genes associated with immature myeloid dendritic cells were over-expressed in LCH CD207+ cells. Compared to the peripheral CD3+ cells from LCH patients, the LCH lesion CD3+ cells yielded only 162 differentially-regulated genes (FDR<0.01), and the expression profile of the LCH lesion CD3+ cells was consistent with an activated regulatory T cell phenotype with increased expression of FOXP3, CTLA4 as well as SPP1. Based on these results, we propose a new model of LCH pathogenesis in which lesions do not arise from epidermal Langerhans cells, but from accumulation of bone-marrow derived immature myeloid dendritic cells that recruit activated lymphocytes. Cell-specific gene expression from LCH biopsy specimens was evaluated by comparing hybridization signal from amplified cDNA on Affymetrix gene chips (U133A Plus 2.0) (Table1). Three sets of comparisons were performed: 1) Thirteen LCH CD207+ samples were compared to 12 control skin LCH CD207+ samples. 2) Seven LCH lesion CD3+ samples were compared to 7 peripheral blood CD3+ samples from the same patients. 3) Twelve LCH lesion CD3+ samples were compared to 4 pooled control tonsil CD3+ samples (5 individual tonsil CD3+ samples/pool).

Project description:Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a neoplasm marked by the accumulation of CD1a+CD207+ cells. It is most commonly driven by a somatic activating mutation in the BRAF kinase (BRAFV600E). Multisystem disease with risk-organ involvement requires intensive chemotherapy, making BRAF-inhibitors an attractive option. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of the course of an LCH patient treated with the combination of vemurafenib with salvage chemotherapy who achieved complete clinical and molecular remission. We conclusively show that there is no relationship between blood-BRAF levels and clinical presentation during treatment with vemurafenib, but that vemurafenib leads to a fast, efficient, but reversible inhibition of clinical manifestations of high-risk LCH such as cytopenia, fever, and hypoproteinemia. In line, serum levels of inflammatory cytokines exactly mirror vemurafenib administration. Genotyping for the BRAFV600E mutation shows its presence in multiple hematopoietic cell types, including NK cells and granulocytes. Single-cell transcriptome analysis of peripheral blood and bone marrow cells at time of diagnosis and during treatment indicate that RAF-inhibition abrogates the expression of inflammatory cytokines previously implicated in LCH. Together, our data suggest that while the CD1a+CD207+ histiocytes are the hallmark of LCH, other BRAF-mutated cells themselves contribute significantly to morbidity in patients with multisystem LCH.

Project description:Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare neoplasm predominantly affecting children. It occupies a characteristic hybrid position between cancers and inflammatory diseases, which makes it an attractive model for studying cancer development. To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of LCH and its characteristic clinical heterogeneity, we investigated the transcriptomic and epigenomic diversity in primary LCH lesions. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we identified multiple recurrent types of LCH cells within these biopsies, including putative LCH progenitor cells and several subsets of differentiated LCH cells. We confirmed the presence of proliferative LCH cells in all analysed biopsies using immunohistochemistry, and we defined the epigenomic and gene-regulatory basis of the different LCH cell subsets using chromatin profiling. In summary, our single-cell analysis of LCH uncovered an unexpected degree of cellular, transcriptomic, and epigenomic heterogeneity among LCH cells, reflecting complex developmental hierarchies in LCH lesions.
