Project description:Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important mediators of chronic inflammation in numerous autoimmune diseases, although the role of these receptors in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) remains incompletely understood. Previous studies in our laboratory established Myd88 as a crucial mediator of disease, although the upstream signaling events that culminate in Myd88 activation have yet to be identified. To objective of this study was to identify specific Myd88-dependent TLR-related pathways that are dysregulated both locally and systemically in a mouse model of pSS (NOD.B10Sn-H2b/J (NOD.B10)). We performed RNA-sequencing on spleens derived from NOD.B10 mice. We then harvested salivary tissue and spleens from Myd88-sufficient and deficient C57BL/10 (BL/10) and NOD.B10 mice and performed flow cytometry to determine expression of Myd88-dependent TLRs. We then cultured splenocytes with TLR2 and TLR4 agonists and measured IL-6 secretion by ELISA. Next, we evaluated spontaneous and TLR4-mediated inflammatory cytokine secretion in NOD.B10 salivary tissue. Finally, we assessed spontaneous Myd88-dependent cytokine secretion by NOD.B10 salivary cells. We identified dysregulation of numerous TLR-related networks in pSS splenocytes, particularly those employed by TLR2 and TLR4. We found upregulation of TLRs in both the splenic and salivary tissue from pSS mice. In NOD.B10 splenic tissue, B cell TLR1, TLR2, and TLR6 expression was reduced to levels of BL/10 controls in the absence of Myd88. Splenocytes from NOD.B10 mice were hyper-responsive to TLR2 ligation and the endogenous molecule decorin modulated inflammation via TLR4. Finally, we found spontaneous secretion of numerous inflammatory cytokines and this was enhanced following TLR4 ligation in female NOD.B10 salivary tissue as compared to males. Moreover, we found that spontaneous production of salivary IL-6, MCP-1 and TNFa requires Myd88 in pSS salivary tissue. Thus, our data demonstrate that Myd88-dependent TLR pathways contribute to the inflammatory landscape in pSS, and inhibition of such will likely have therapeutic utility.

Project description:Leaf-to-leaf, systemic immune signaling known as systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is poorly understood in monocotyledonous plants. Here, we characterize systemic immunity in barley (Hordeum vulgare) triggered after primary leaf infection with either Pseudomonas syringae pathovar japonica (Psj) or Xanthomonas translucens pathovar cerealis (Xtc). Both pathogens induced resistance in systemic, uninfected leaves against a subsequent challenge infection with Xtc. In contrast to SAR in Arabidopsis thaliana, systemic immunity in barley was not associated with NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES1 or the local or systemic accumulation of salicylic acid (SA). Instead, we documented a moderate local but not systemic induction of abscisic acid (ABA) after infection of leaves with Psj. In contrast to SA or its functional analog benzothiadiazole, local applications of the jasmonic acid methyl ester or ABA triggered systemic immunity to Xtc. RNA-seq analysis of local and systemic transcript accumulation revealed unique gene expression changes in response to both Psj and Xtc and a clear separation of local from systemic responses. The systemic response appeared relatively modest and quantitative RT-PCR associated systemic immunity with the local and systemic induction of two WRKY and two ETHYLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR-like transcription factors. Systemic immunity against Xtc was further associated with transcriptional changes after a secondary/systemic Xtc challenge infection; these changes were dependent on the primary treatment. Taken together, bacteria-induced systemic immunity in barley may be mediated in part by WRKY and ERF-like transcription factors possibly facilitating transcriptional reprogramming to potentiate immunity.

Project description:The RNA-sequencing to profile patient peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, N=25), primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS, N=23), and healthy control (HD, N=24). We collected on the steady-state and 18-hours anti-CD3 culture to identify the transcriptome remodeling upon T-cell stimulation. Each patient samples were sorted for CD4+ (Th cells) and CD8+ (CTL) T lymphocytes, CD16+CD7+ cells (NK cells), and CD19+ cells (B cells).

Project description:Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of exocrine tissue, resulting in loss of tears and saliva. Patients also experience many extra-glandular disease manifestations. Treatment for pSS is palliative, and there are currently no treatments available that target disease etiology. Previous studies in our lab demonstrated that Myd88 is crucial for pSS pathogenesis in the NOD.B10Sn-H2b (NOD.B10) pSS mouse model, although the way in which Myd88-dependent pathways become activated in disease remains unknown. Based on its importance in other autoimmune diseases, we hypothesized that TLR7 activation accelerates pSS pathogenesis. We administered the TLR7 agonist Imiquimod (Imq) or sham treatment to pre-disease NOD.B10 females for 6 weeks. Parallel experiments were performed in age and sex-matched C57BL/10 controls. Imq-treated pSS animals exhibited cervical lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and expansion of TLR7-expressing B cells. Robust lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine tissues, kidney and lung was observed in pSS mice following treatment with Imq. TLR7 agonism also induced salivary hypofunction in pSS mice, which is a hallmark of disease. Anti-nuclear autoantibodies, including Ro (SSA) and La (SSB) were increased in pSS mice following Imq administration. Cervical lymph nodes from Imq-treated NOD.B10 animals demonstrated an increase in the percentage of activated/memory CD4+ T cells. Finally, aged-associated B cells (ABCs) were expanded in the spleens of Imq-treated pSS mice. Thus, activation of TLR7 accelerates local and systemic disease and promotes expansion of the ABC subset in pSS.

Project description:Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands and prominent B cell hyperactivity. B cells are crucial in the pathophysiology of pSS through several mechanisms, including cytokine production, exocrine gland destruction, and autoantibody secretion. Considering the central role of B cells we performed RNA-sequencing analysis of circulating CD19+ B cells from patients with pSS, non-Sjögren’s sicca (nSS), and healthy controls (HC).

Project description:Most autoreactive B cells are normally counterselected during early B cell development. To determine whether Toll-like receptors (TLRs) regulate the removal of autoreactive B lymphocytes, we tested the reactivity of recombinant antibodies from single B cells isolated from patients deficient for IL-1R-associated kinase (IRAK)-4, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and UNC-93B. Indeed, all TLRs except TLR3 require IRAK-4 and MyD88 to signal and UNC-93B-deficient cells are unresponsive to TLR3, TLR7, TLR8 and TLR9. All patients suffered from defective central and peripheral B cell tolerance checkpoints resulting in the accumulation of large numbers of autoreactive mature naïve B cells in their blood. Hence, TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9 may prevent the recruitment of developing autoreactive B cells in healthy donors. Paradoxically, IRAK-4-, MyD88- and UNC-93B-deficient patients did not display autoreactive antibodies in their serum nor developed autoimmune diseases, suggesting that IRAK-4, MyD88 and UNC-93B pathway blockade may thwart autoimmunity in humans.

Project description:The complexity of regeneration extends beyond local wound responses, eliciting systemic processes engaging the entire organism. However, their functional relevance, and the spatial and temporal orchestration of the underlying molecular processes distant from the injury site remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that local regeneration in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis involves a systemic homeostatic response, leading to coordinated whole-body remodeling. Leveraging spatial transcriptomics, endogenous protein tagging, and live imaging, we comprehensively dissect this systemic response at the organismal scale. We identify proteolysis as critical process driven by both local and systemic upregulation of metalloproteases. We show that metalloproteinase expression levels and activity scale with the extent of tissue loss, leading to proportional long-range movement of tissue and its associated extracellular matrix. Our findings demonstrate the adaptive nature of the systematic response in regeneration. We propose that this integrated regenerative mechanism enables the organism to maintain shape homeostasis while coping with injuries.

Project description:Radiation therapy induces immunogenic cell death in cancer cells, whereby apoptotic cells release endogenous adjuvants that are sensed by immune cells to direct adaptive immune responses. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) expressed on several immune subtypes recognize these products to direct downstream responses in part via the adapter protein MyD88. Here we use lineage specific deletion of Myd88 to interrogate its contribution to the immune response to radiation therapy in distinct immune populations in pancreatic cancer. While Myd88 deletion in Itgax- and Lck-expressing immune populations had little discernable effects on response to radiation therapy, Lyz2-specific loss of Myd88 rendered tumors more susceptible to radiation therapy dependent on CD8+ T cells. scRNAseq revealed gene signatures in myeloid and dendritic cells indicative of enhanced type I and II interferon responses. Together, these data implicate MyD88 signaling in myeloid cells as a critical source of immunosuppression that hinders adaptive immune tumor control following radiation therapy.
