Project description:Introduction Disruption of the epithelial barrier can induce eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a TH2-mediated food- and aeroallergen associated chronic inflammatory disease 1, 2. The expression of IL-20 subfamily cytokines, IL-19, IL-20 and IL-24, is increased in TH2-mediated diseases, yet their function in EoE is unknown. Methods Combining RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and proteome analysis, we have examined the effects of the IL-20 subfamily on esophageal epithelial cells using patient-derived organoids and an experimental EoE mouse model. Results When stimulated with IL-20 subfamily cytokines patient-derived esophageal organoids showed decreased expression of Filaggrin (FLG) and Filaggrin 2 (FLG2) responsible for epithelial cornification. In agreement, EoE patients with active inflammation showed elevated IL-20 subfamily cytokines and decreased FLG and FLG2 expression. Topical corticosteroid treatment in EoE patients restored filaggrin expression, while reducing IL-20 subfamily cytokines. Abolishment of IL-20 subfamily signalling in Il20R2-/- animals attenuated experimental EoE in an OVA-induced mouse model. In the esophageal keratinocyte cell line, KYSE-180, we identified IL-20 subfamily-induced STAT3 and MAPK (ERK1/2) pathway activation. However, Stat3fl/flKrt5cre mice with an epithelium specific deletion of Stat3 developed exacerbated experimental EoE with a pronounced decrease of Flg2. In line, combined stimulation of patient-derived esophageal organoids with IL-20 subfamily cytokines and pharmacological inhibition of STAT3 resulted in aggravated decrease of FLG and FLG2. In addition, pharmacological STAT3 inhibition resulted in reduced transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and increased macromolecular flux in patient-derived air liquid interface (ALI) cultures. Whereas, inhibition of the MAPK (ERK1/2) pathway hampered IL-20 subfamily induced TEER reduction and paracellular flux increment. Finally, MAPK (ERK1/2) inhibitor treatment reduced infiltrating CD45+ immune cells in the esophagus and alleviated experimental EoE in mice. Conclusion We discovered a novel regulatory function of the IL-20 subfamily for epithelial barrier integrity. Aberrant IL-20 subfamily signaling disturbs the epithelial barrier function, while abrogation of IL-20 subfamily and ERK1/2 signaling restores epithelial integrity and attenuates experimental EoE. Therefore, we propose that targeting the IL-20 subfamily pathway could present a novel therapeutic strategy for EoE treatment.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA)-mediated mRNA regulation directs many homeostatic and pathological processes, but how miRNAs coordinate aberrant esophageal inflammation during eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is poorly understood. Here, we report a deregulatory axis where microRNA-155 (miR-155) regulates epithelial barrier dysfunction by selectively constraining tight junction CLDN7 (claudin-7). MiR-155 is elevated in the esophageal epithelium of biopsies from patients with active EoE and in cell culture models. miR-155 localisation using in situ hybridisation (ISH) in patient biopsies, and intra-epithelial compartmentalisation of miR-155 shows expression predominantly within the basal epithelia. Epithelial miR-155 activity was evident through diminished target gene expression in 3D organotypic cultures, particularly in relatively undifferentiated basal cell states. Mechanistically, generation of a novel cell line with enhanced epithelial miR-155 stable overexpression induced a functionally deficient epithelial barrier in 3D air-liquid interface epithelial cultures measured by transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). Histological assessment of 3D esophageal organoid cultures overexpressing miR-155 showed notable dilated intra-epithelial spaces. Unbiased RNA-sequencing analysis and immunofluorescence determined a defect in epithelial barrier tight junctions and revealed a selective reduction in the expression of critical esophageal tight junction molecule, claudin-7. Together, our data reveal a previously unappreciated role for miR-155 in mediating epithelial barrier dysfunction in esophageal inflammation.

Project description:Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune-mediated disorder triggered by specific food antigens, characterized by eosinophil-rich multicellular inflammation and structural changes in the epithelium. Treatment options for EoE include dietary therapy, pharmacological therapy, or a combination of both, chosen based on the patient's preference and clinical progression. Pharmacological options include proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), corticosteroids, and biologic therapy. Although PPI therapy is used for EoE management, its underlying mechanism of action remains unclear. To investigate the effects of omeprazole, an orally bioavailable PPI commonly used for EoE therapy, on the dynamics of esophageal epithelial barrier function and inflammation, we employed air-liquid interface (ALI) culture. We examined how omeprazole affects gene expression changes caused by IL-13 treatment. ALI cultures were treated with 100 ng/ml of IL-13 and/or 50 µM of acid-activated omeprazole for 96 hours, and bulk RNA sequencing was performed to analyze the epithelial-specific transcriptomes of IL-13 and/or omeprazole-treated ALI. Our findings suggest potential gene interactions where omeprazole may mitigate transcriptional changes induced by IL-13, indicating that omeprazole may attenuate IL-13 mediated epithelial dysfunction relevant to EoE pathophysiology by modulating pathways associated with inflammation, tissue repair, and cell-cell communication.

Project description:Patients with Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) require long-lasting resolution of inflammation to prevent fibrostenosis and dysphagia. However, the dissociation between symptoms and histologic improvement suggests persistent molecular drivers despite remission. We aimed to characterize persisting molecular alterations in pediatric patients with EoE using tissue proteomics. Esophageal tissue biopsies (n=151) and clinical data were collected prospectively from pediatric patients with EoE (N=34), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD; N=10; inflammatory controls) or functional disorders (FD; N=20; non-inflammatory controls). Biospies (n=131) acquired from the diagnostic endoscopy and up to 7 follow-ups were considered for proteome analysis in patients with EoE, while for GERD and FD only biopsies from initial diagnosis were included. Histologically active EoE (15 eosinophils per high power field (hpf)) was diagnosed in 79 biopsies and 52 samples derived from patients with EoE in remission (15 eosinophils per hpf). After microdissection of the epithelium proteins were extracted from the esophageal tissue followed by a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Proteomic analysis identified 3,704 different proteins in total across all samples.

Project description:Asthma is a complex, chronic respiratory disease with marked clinical and pathophysiological heterogeneity. Distinct inflammatory phenotypes of eosinophilic, mixed, neutrophilic and paucigranulocytic asthma are identified in patients, but most in vivo mouse models, studying asthma mechanisms, mimic only eosinophilic phenotype in humans. The detailed unbiased in vivo studies on molecular responses among different kinds of inflammation in asthma models are lacking. Therefore, we developed mouse models representing three different inflammatory phenotypes of airway inflammation, namely eosinophilic, mixed, and neutrophilic asthma via different methods of house dust mite sensitisation. We used microarrays to determine the global gene expression in the lungs of mice with eosinophilic, mixed and neutrophilic inflammatory phenotypes to uncover underlying differences in clinical presentation and to find novel molecular targets and pathways, which might reflect different molecular mechanisms of the disease. By whole genome transcriptome profiling, we found that airway tight junction (TJ) molecules, mucins and inflammasome-related genes are differentially expressed in distinct phenotypes of allergic airway inflammation. Next, detailed analysis of several molecules from these families by quantitative RT-PCR, western blot and confocal microscopy revealed that (i) Zo-1 and Cldn18 were downregulated in all phenotypes, while Cldn4 upregulation was characteristic for neutrophilic airway inflammation; (ii) mucins Clca1 (Gob5) and Muc5ac were upregulated in eosinophilic and even more in neutrophilic asthma, and (iii) upregulation of inflammasome-related molecules such as Nlrp3, Nlrc4, Casp-1 and IL-1b was characteristic for neutrophilic asthma. Finally, we showed that inflammasome/Th-17/neutrophilic axis cytokines, namely IL-1b and IL-17 impaired epithelial barrier function and increased mucins expressions in primary human bronchial epithelial cells from normal and asthmatic donors. Our findings suggest that differential expression of TJs, mucins and inflammasome-related molecules in distinct asthma phenotypes could be mechanistically linked and might further reflect the differences observed in the clinic.
