Project description:Background & Aims: In most autoimmune disorders, crosstalk of B cells and CD4 T cells results in the accumulation of autoantibodies targeting specific self-antigen like the Soluble Liver Antigen (SLA or SepSecs) in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). But the associated autoreactive CD4 T cells have not been characterized yet. Here we isolated and deeply characterized SLA-specific CD4 T cells in AIH patients. Methods: We used brief ex vivo re-stimulation with overlapping SLA-derived peptides to isolate and phenotype circulating SLA-specific CD4 T cells, and integrative single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) to characterize their transcriptome and T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire. Identified auto-reactive TCRs were reconstituted cloned and expressed in T cell hybridoma to identify dominant SLA-derived CD4 T cell epitopes. SLA-specific CD4 T cells were tracked in peripheral blood through TCR sequencing, to identify their phenotypic niche. We further characterized disease-associated peripheral blood T cells by high content flow cytometry in an additional cohort of n=42 AIH patients and n=17 non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) controls. Results: Frequency of autoreactive SLA-specific CD4 T cells was associated with anti-SLA autoantibodies and had a memory CD45RA-CD27+PD-1+CXCR5-CCR6- phenotype. ScRNA-seq revealed their pro-inflammatory/B-Helper profile (IL21, IFNG, TIGIT, CTLA4, NR3C1, CD109, KLRB1 and CLEC2D). SLA81-100 and SLA177-204 contain dominant T cell epitopes. Autoreactive TCR clonotypes were restricted to the memory PD-1+CXCR5- CD4 T cells which was significantly increased in the blood of AIH patients and supported B cell differentiation through IL-21. Finally, we identified a specific phenotype (CD45RA-PD-1+CD38+CXCR5-CD127-CD27+) of T cells linked to disease activity and IgG response during AIH. Conclusions: This work provides for the first time a deep characterization of rare circulating autoreactive CD4 T cells and the identification of their peripheral reservoir in AIH. We also propose a generic phenotype of pathogenic T cells related to AIH disease activity which will be essential to track, delineate and potentially target those pathogenic cells.

Project description:Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a murine model of multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurodegenerative and inflammatory autoimmune condition of the central nervous system (CNS). Pathology is driven by the infiltration of autoreactive CD4+ lymphocytes into the CNS where they attack neuronal sheaths causing ascending paralysis. We used an isotope-coded protein labelling approach to investigate the proteome of CD4+ cells isolated from the spinal cord and brain of mice at various stages of EAE progression in two EAE disease models; PLP139-151-induced relapsing-remitting EAE and MOG35-55-induced chronic EAE, which emulate the two forms of human multiple sclerosis. A total of 1120 proteins were quantified across disease onset, peak-disease and remission phases of disease and of these, 13 up-regulated proteins of interest were identified with functions relating to the regulation of inflammation, leukocyte adhesion and migration, tissue repair and the regulation of transcription/translation. Proteins implicated in processes such as inflammation (S100A4 and S100A9) and tissue repair (Annexin A1), which represent key events during EAE progression were validated by quantitative PCR. This is the first targeted analysis of autoreactive cells purified from the CNS during EAE, highlighting fundamental CD4+ cell-driven processes that occur during the initiation of relapse and remission stages of disease.

Project description:Autoimmune liver diseases (AILD) are immune-mediated disorders in which CD4 T cells play a central role. However, the link between circulating self-antigen-specific CD4 T cells and the targeted tissue has not been extensively studied in AILD. We hypothesized that circulating autoreactive CD4 T cells were clonally and functionally related to dominant intra-hepatic pathogenic CD4 T cell clones. Single cell transcriptomic analysis of circulating self-antigen-specific CD4 T cells revealed a specific B-helper and immuno-exhausted transcriptional profile, which was conserved for different autoantigens, but distinct from several other types of foreign antigen specificities. In the blood, the dominant hepatic CD4 T cell clones had a similar transcriptomic signature and were enriched in the PD-1+ TIGIT+ HLA-DR+ CD4 T cell subset. In a mouse model, antigen-specific CD4 T cells acquired the immuno-exhausted transcriptional profile when they accumulated in the liver after local antigen reactivity. Locally, immune checkpoint molecules controlled the response of antigen-specific CD4 T cells responsible for liver damage. Our study reveals the origin and biology of liver-derived autoreactive CD4 T cells in the blood of AILD patients that are imprinted by the liver environment, and suggest a dysregulation of the immune checkpoint molecules pathways. Our study enables tracking and isolating circulating autoreactive CD4 T cells for future diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
