Project description:The goal of this study was to investigate and correlate differential methylation and expression in cells from the target organ in non-infectious granulomatous lung diseases, specifically sarcoidosis and chronic beryllium disease (CBD). To that end, cells were collected from patients via bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and extracted nucleic acids were hybridized to genome-wide arrays. We conclude that there are many genes that are both differentially methylated and expressed in the BAL fluid of patients with granulomatous lung disease. We identified 2,726 differentially methylated CpGs mapping to 1,944 unique genes when comparing CBD patients to beryllium-sensitized (BeS) individuals without disease. 69% of these genes were also differentially expressed in CBD. Sarcoidosis patients exhibited directional consistency at many loci, but genome-wide significance was not achieved, likely due to heterogeneity in the patient population.

Project description:Purpose: Using single-cell RNA sequencing to explore the common and unique pathways between progressive (SarcP) and remitting (SarcR) sarcoidosis as well as chronic beryllium disease (CBD) and sarcoidosis, focusing on macrophages and macrophages subpopulations (recruited vs. resident). Methods: We used scRNA-seq to analyze BAL cells from SarcP (N=2), SarcR (N=2), and CBD (N=3) compared to beryllium sensitized non-diseased subjects (BeS; N=2) or healthy control (Con; N=4). The controls were from Mould KJ, et al. Airspace Macrophages and Monocytes Exist in Transcriptionally Distinct Subsets in Healthy Adults. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2020. We used the R package Seurat to project cells unto Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) 2D space, identify cell clusters, and detect differentially expressed (DE) genes. Results: We focused our analysis on macrophages (excluding cell clusters going through the cell cycle). We first compared disease groups to healthy control Using False Discovery Rate (FDR) adjusted p<0.05 and absolute log fold change (log FC)>0.25. We identified 191, 242, and 234 DE genes within all macrophages for the comparisons of SarcP vs. Con, SarcR vs. Con, and CBD vs. Con, respectively, with 82 genes common to all three comparisons; 47 out of the 82 genes were common to all comparisons in regards to recruited macrophages. Conclusions: We focused this first single-cell transcriptome study in granulomatous lung disease on macrophages. This study offers investigators cell-specific transcriptional changes (genes and networks/pathways) to consider mechanisms of granulomatous disease and as potential drug targets.

Project description:Chronic beryllium disease (CBD) is a metal-induced hypersensitivity disorder characterized by CD4+ T cell alveolitis. Single-cell gene expression profiling of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells focused on T cells may provide insight into unique subsets of CD4+ T cells, functional pathways, and/or molecules that could potentially be developed into novel therapeutics for treating CBD and other granulomatous lung diseases. To understand the unbiased cellular composition of airway associated CD4+ T cells in subjects with beryllium exposure, we used BAL cells from one beryllium-exposed (BeS) and one CBD subject diagnosed using previously defined criteria, and these two samples comprised the disease cohort.

Project description:The function of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) highly depends on the mode of activation, either by recognition of bacterial metabolites via their T cell receptor (TCR) or in a TCR-independent manner via cytokines. The underlying molecular mechanisms are not entirely understood. To define the activation of MAIT cells on the molecular level, we applied a multi-omics approach with untargeted transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. Transcriptomic analysis of E.coli- and TCR-activated MAIT cells showed a distinct transcriptional reprogramming, including altered pathways, transcription factors and effector molecules. We validated the consequences of this reprogramming on the phenotype by proteomics and metabolomics. Thus, and to distinguish between TCR-dependent and -independent activation, MAIT cells were stimulated with IL12/IL18, anti-CD3/CD28 or both. Only a combination of both led to full activation of MAIT cells, comparable to activation by E.coli. Using an integrated network-based approach, we identified key drivers of the distinct modes of activation, including cytokines and transcription factors, as well as negative feedback regulators like TWIST1 or LAG3. Taken together, we present novel insights into the biological function of MAIT cells, which may represent a basis for therapeutic approaches to target MAIT cells in pathological conditions.

Project description:Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were obtained from healthy individuals (Healthy1, Healthy2, Healthy3, and Healthy4) or patients with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (XCGD1, XCGD2, XCGD3, XCGD4, XCGD5, and XCGD6). The studies were performed in accordance with a protocol approved by the Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects at the University of Iowa. All studies were conducted according to Declaration of Helsinki principles. PMNs (107) were combined with or without IgG and C3bi-coated latex beads (8 x 107) in wells of a 12-well tissue culture plate (pre-coated with 20% normal human serum) and centrifuged at 350 x g for 8 min at 4oC to synchronize phagocytosis. For the purpose of these studies, activated or "Stimulated" PMNs are defined as those that have been stimulated by phagocytosis of IgG- and C3bi-coated latex beads. "Control" PMNs are defined as resting cells or those left unstimulated throughout the time-course. Following centrifugation, plates were incubated at 37 deg. C in a CO2 for the indicated times. At the indicated times, tissue culture medium was aspirated from the plate and PMNs were lysed directly with RLT buffer (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Purification of PMN RNA and subsequent preparation of labeled cRNA target (12 g) was performed as described in Methods. Labeling of samples, hybridization of cRNA with Hu95Av2 oligonucleotide arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA), and scanning were performed according to standard Affymetrix protocols. Gene expression in healthy control and XCGD individuals was always compared at the same time points after phagocytosis Keywords = HUMAN PMN CHRONIC GRANULOMATOUS DISEASE NEUTROPHILS Keywords: parallel sample
