Abstract
PURPOSE Behçet's disease-associated uveitis (BDU) is a severe, recurrent inflammatory condition affecting the eye and is part of a systemic vasculitis with unknown etiology, making biomarker discovery essential for disease management. In this study, we intend to investigate potential urinary biomarkers to monitor the disease activity of BDU. METHODS Firstly, label-free data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and tandem mass tag (TMT)-labeled quantitative proteomics methods were used to profile the proteomes of urine from active and quiescent BDU patients, respectively. For further exploration, the remaining fifty urine samples were analyzed by a data-independent acquisition (DIA) quantitative proteomics method. RESULTS Twenty-nine and 21 differential proteins were identified in the same urine from BDU patients by label-free DDA and TMT-labeled analyses, respectively. Seventy-nine differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were significantly changed in other active BDU urine samples compared to those in quiescent BDU urine samples by IDA analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analyses revealed that the DEPs were associated with multiple functions, including the immune and neutrophil activation responses. Finally, seven proteins were identified as candidate biomarkers for BDU monitoring and recurrence prediction, namely, CD38, KCRB, DPP4, FUCA2, MTPN, S100A8 and S100A9. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that urine can be a good source of biomarkers for BDU. These dysregulated proteins provide potential urinary biomarkers for BDU activity monitoring and provide valuable clues for the analysis of the pathogenic mechanisms of BDU.

[PMID: 37876023 PMCID: PMC10594759 DOI: 10.1186/s41232-023-00303-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The precise pathogenesis of immune-related diseases remains unclear, and new effective therapeutic choices are required for the induction of remission or cure in these diseases. Basic research utilizing immune-related disease patient-derived induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells is expected to be a promising platform for elucidating the pathogenesis of the diseases and for drug discovery. Since autoinflammatory diseases are usually monogenic, genetic mutations affect the cell function and patient-derived iPS cells tend to exhibit disease-specific phenotypes. In particular, iPS cell-derived monocytic cells and macrophages can be used for functional experiments, such as inflammatory cytokine production, and are often employed in research on patients with autoinflammatory diseases.On the other hand, the utilization of disease-specific iPS cells is less successful for research on autoimmune diseases. One reason for this is that autoimmune diseases are usually polygenic, which makes it challenging to determine which factors cause the phenotypes of patient-derived iPS cells are caused by. Another reason is that protocols for differentiating some lymphocytes associated with autoimmunity, such as CD4+T cells or B cells, from iPS cells have not been well established. Nevertheless, several groups have reported studies utilizing autoimmune disease patient-derived iPS cells, including patients with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and systemic sclerosis. Particularly, non-hematopoietic cells, such as fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes, differentiated from autoimmune patient-derived iPS cells have shown promising results for further research into the pathogenesis. Recently, our groups established a method for differentiating dendritic cells that produce interferon-alpha, which can be applied as an SLE pathological model. In summary, patient-derived iPS cells can provide a promising platform for pathological research and new drug discovery in the field of immune-related diseases.

Abstract
Thioacetamide (TAA) was developed as a pesticide; however, it was soon found to cause hepatic and renal toxicity. To evaluate target organ interactions during hepatotoxicity, we compared gene expression profiles in the liver and kidney after TAA treatment. Sprague-Dawley rats were treated daily with oral TAA and then sacrificed, and their tissues were evaluated for acute toxicity (30 and 100 mg/kg bw/day), 7-day (15 and 50 mg/kg bw/day), and 4-week repeated-dose toxicity (10 and 30 mg/kg). After the 4-week repeated toxicity study, total RNA was extracted from the liver and kidneys, and microarray analysis was performed. Differentially expressed genes were selected based on fold change and significance, and gene functions were analyzed using ingenuity pathway analysis. Microarray analysis showed that significantly regulated genes were involved in liver hyperplasia, renal tubule injury, and kidney failure in the TAA-treated group. Commonly regulated genes in the liver or kidney were associated with xenobiotic metabolism, lipid metabolism, and oxidative stress. We revealed changes in the molecular pathways of the target organs in response to TAA and provided information on candidate genes that can indicate TAA-induced toxicity. These results may help elucidate the underlying mechanisms of target organ interactions during TAA-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
Behçet's disease (BD), a chronic vascular inflammatory disease, is characterized by the symptoms of ocular lesions, recurrent genital and oral ulcers, skin symptoms and arthritis in addition to neurological, intestinal and vascular involvement. The pathogenesis of BD is poorly understood, and there are no effective laboratory markers for the diagnosis of BD. In addition, BD is presently incurable. Chemokines, a family of small secreted chemotactic cytokines, interact with chemokine receptors and mediate the migration, localization and cellular interactions of inflammatory cells. Several studies have suggested that chemokines and their receptors play an important role in the occurrence and development of BD and that these chemokines along with their receptors can be utilized as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. In the present review, chemokines and chemokine receptors involved in BD and their potential application in diagnosis and therapy have been discussed.

Abstract
Purpose: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can activate Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and increase the expression of CXCL1 and CXCL2, the potent neutrophils chemoattractants, in various cell types. These effects have not been previously reported in the uveal melanocytes. This study was designed to investigate the effects of LPS on the activation of TLR4 and expression of CXCL1/CXCL2 in cultured human uveal melanocytes and the relevant signal pathways.Methods: Effects of LPS on the expression of TLR4 were tested using real-time PCR, flow cytometry and fluorescence immunostaining. Effects of LPS-induced expression/secretion of CXCL1/CXCL2 were studied using real-time PCR in cell lysates and ELISA in conditioned media of cultured uveal melanocytes. Activated NF-κB and phosphorylated MAPK signals were tested in cells with and without LPS treatment using flow cytometry. Effects of various signal inhibitors on p38, ERK1/2, JNK1/2 and NF-κB on the secretion of CXCL1/CXCL2 were tested by ELISA. The effects of neutralized antibodies of CXCL1/CXCL2 on the severity of LPS-induced uveitis were tested in a mouse model.Results: LPS stimulation increased the expression of TLR4 mRNA and protein in culture uveal melanocytes. Constitutive secretion of CXCL1/CXCL2 was detected in uveal melanocytes and was significantly increased dose- and time-dependently by LPS stimulation. LPS mainly increased the activated NF-κB and phosphorylated JNK1/2. LPS-induced expression of CXCL1/CXCL2 was blocked by NF-κB and JNK1/2 inhibitors. The severity of LPS-induced uveitis was significantly inhibited by neutralizing antibody to CXCL1/CXCL2Conclusions: This is the first report on the LPS-induced expression of CXCL1 and CXCL2 by uveal melanocytes via the activation of TLR4. These results suggest that uveal melanocytes may play a role in the immune reaction that eliminates the invading pathogens. Conversely, an excessive LPS-induced inflammatory reaction may also lead to the development of inflammatory ocular disorders, such as non-infectious uveitis.

Abstract
The application of pluripotent stem cells is expected to contribute to the elucidation of unknown mechanism of human diseases. However, in vitro induction of organ-specific cells, such as pancreas and liver, is still difficult and the reproduction of their disorders in a model has been unfeasible. To study the mechanism of human hereditary pancreatitis (HP), we here performed the blastocyst complementation (BC) method. In the BC method, mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells harboring CRISPR/CAS9-mediated mutations in the Prss1 gene were injected into blastocysts with deficient Pdx1 gene, which is a critical transcription factor in the development of pancreas. The results showed that trypsin was activated extremely in Prss1-mutant mice. This implied that the mouse phenotype mimics that of human HP and that the BC method was useful for the reproduction and study of pancreatic disorders. The present study opens the possibility of investigating uncharacterized human diseases by utilizing the BC method.

[PMID: 31075294 DOI: 10.1016/j.imlet.2019.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2019] [Revised: 04/24/2019] [Accepted: 05/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Behçet disease (BD) is a multisystemic disease some of whose manifestations are characterized by pulmonary involvements. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the level of T-helper type 9 (Th9) cells and the cytokine interleukin (IL)-9 in peripheral blood and in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of patients with Behçet's disease (BD) affected by pulmonary manifestations. Nevertheless, until recently there have been no studies on its role in BD. The Th9 (CD4+IL-9+T) cell, transcription factor PU.1 and IL-9 mRNA levels, as well as serum and BAL IL-9 concentration, were measured in BD patients and healthy controls. The Th9 cell percentage and absolute number, PU.1 and IL-9 expression levels of BD patients were all increased significantly compared with the control group. Absolute number of Th9 cells was particularly increased in patients with active BD compared to inactive BD patients. The levels of IL-9 associated to Th9 expression depended on BD severity. These parameters were markedly expressed in the BAL of BD patients with pulmonary manifestations. IL-17 and the epithelial inflammatory cytokine TSLP were significantly correlated to IL-9 levels. This cytokine trio decreased in inactive BD patients after corticosteroïd treatment. In addition, IL-9 levels were correlated to CD4+ IL-9+ cells in BAL and in PBMCs. LPS stimulated PBMCs and macrophages induced increased secretion of IL-9 and the encoding transcription factors PU.1 and IRF4. In conclusion, the expansion of the Th9 cell subset, up-regulation of the PU.1 transcription factor and increased secretion of the IL-9 cytokine may contribute to the pathogenesis of BD, which may be supported by the increased release of IL-17 and TSLP. We provide evidence that Th9 T cells are increased in BD patients with pulmonary manifestations. This suggests an important role of IL-9 in the pathogenesis of BD particularly in patients suffering from lung involvement.

Abstract
Colistin has been widely used for the treatment of infections of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, despite the fact that it induces serious kidney injury as a side effect. To investigate the mechanism underlying its nephrotoxicity, colistin methanesulfonate sodium (CMS; 25 or 50 mg/kg) was administered via intraperitoneal injection to Sprague-Dawley rats daily over 7 days. Serum biochemistry and histopathology indicated that nephrotoxicity occurred in the rats administered with CMS. Whole-genome microarrays indicated 894 differentially expressed genes in the group treated with CMS (analysis of variance, false discovery rate <0.05, fold-change ≥1.3). Gene pathway and networking analyses revealed that genes associated with proteotoxic stress, including ribosome synthesis, protein translation, and protein folding, were significantly associated with the nephrotoxicity induced by CMS. It was found that colistin inhibited the expression of the target genes heat shock factor 1 and nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor-2, which are associated with proteostasis, and that nephrotoxicity of CMS may be initiated by proteotoxic stress due to heat shock response inhibition, leading to oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, eventually leading to cell death. A putative adverse outcome pathway was constructed based on the integrated gene networking data, which may clarify the mode of action of colistin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived intestinal organoids (hIOs) form 3D structures organized into crypt and villus domains, making them an excellent in vitro model system for studying human intestinal development and disease. However, hPSC-derived hIOs still require in vivo maturation to fully recapitulate adult intestine, with the mechanism of maturation remaining elusive. Here, we show that the co-culture with human T lymphocytes induce the in vitro maturation of hIOs, and identify STAT3-activating interleukin-2 (IL-2) as the major factor inducing maturation. hIOs exposed to IL-2 closely mimic the adult intestinal epithelium and have comparable expression levels of mature intestinal markers, as well as increased intestine-specific functional activities. Even after in vivo engraftment, in vitro-matured hIOs retain their maturation status. The results of our study demonstrate that STAT3 signaling can induce the maturation of hIOs in vitro, thereby circumventing the need for animal models and in vivo maturation.

Abstract
Human intestinal organoids (hIOs) derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have immense potential as a source of intestines. Therefore, an efficient system is needed for visualizing the stage of intestinal differentiation and further identifying hIOs derived from hPSCs. Here, 2 fluorescent biosensors were developed based on human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines that stably expressed fluorescent reporters driven by intestine-specific gene promoters Krüppel-like factor 5 monomeric Cherry (KLF5mCherry) and intestine-specific homeobox enhanced green fluorescence protein (ISXeGFP). Then hIOs were efficiently induced from those transgenic hiPSC lines in which mCherry- or eGFP-expressing cells, which appeared during differentiation, could be identified in intact living cells in real time. Reporter gene expression had no adverse effects on differentiation into hIOs and proliferation. Using our reporter system to screen for hIO differentiation factors, we identified DMH1 as an efficient substitute for Noggin. Transplanted hIOs under the kidney capsule were tracked with fluorescence imaging (FLI) and confirmed histologically. After orthotopic transplantation, the localization of the hIOs in the small intestine could be accurately visualized using FLI. Our study establishes a selective system for monitoring the in vitro differentiation and for tracking the in vivo localization of hIOs and contributes to further improvement of cell-based therapies and preclinical screenings in the intestinal field.-Jung, K.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major type of liver cancer caused by the hepatitis B and C viruses, alcohol and exposure to aflatoxin. For HCC treatment, anticancer drugs have been widely used, but drug resistance in advanced HCC is an important problem, resulting in a continuous need for novel therapeutic targets. Therefore, in this study, we established a screening pipeline based on RNA-seq to screen novel therapeutic/prognostic targets in HCC and identified PRMT1 (Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 1). In the prognostic analysis, the overexpression of PRMT1 was clearly associated with poor prognosis in a number of HCC patient cohorts. Moreover, after PRMT1 knockdown, HCC cell lines exhibited cell growth and spheroid formation suppression, an increase in Sub-G1 cells by FACS analysis, and enrichment of the cell cycle pathway via functional enrichment analysis. With these results, we demonstrated that PRMT1 could be a novel prognostic marker and therapeutic target for HCC therapy.

Abstract
Alternative cell models of human neural stem cells (hNSCs) have been developed and used for investigations ranging from in vitro experiments to in vivo clinical studies. However, a cell model capable of mimicking the 'normal' state of hNSCs is mandatory in order to extrapolate the results of these studies to humans. In the present study, to select a more suitable hNSC model for developing human‑based experimental platforms, two representative hNSC types were compared, namely human embryonic stem cell (hESC)‑derived hNSCs and ReNcell CX cells, which are well‑characterized immortalized hNSC lines. The hNSCs, differentiated from hESCs via human neuroectodermal sphere (hNES) formation, recapitulated the molecular and cellular phenotypes of hNSCs, including NSC marker expression and terminal neuronal differentiation potential. Comparative analyses of the transcriptome profiles of the hESC‑derived hNESs and ReNcell CX hNSCs showed that the differentiated hNESs were analogous to the ReNcell CX cells, as demonstrated by principal component analysis and hierarchical sample clustering. The hNSC‑specific transcriptome was presented, comprising commonly expressed transcripts between hNESs derived from hESCs and ReNcell CX cells. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms associated with the hNSC identity, the hNSC‑specific transcriptome was analyzed using pathway and functional annotation clustering analyses. The results suggested that hESC‑derived hNESs, an expandable and accessible cell source, may be used as a relevant hNSC model in a wide range of neurological investigations.

Abstract
Patient specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been recognized as a possible source of cells for skin tissue engineering. They have the potential to greatly benefit patients with large areas of burned skin or skin defects. However, the integration virus-based reprogramming method is associated with a high risk of genetic mutation and mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder-cells may be a pollutant. In the present study, human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) were successfully harvested from patients with burns and patient-specific iPSCs were generated using a non-integration method with a feeder-free approach. The octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4), sex-determining region Y box 2 (SOX2) and NANOG transcription factors were delivered using Sendai virus vectors. iPSCs exhibited representative human embryonic stem cell-like morphology and proliferation characteristics. They also expressed pluripotent markers, including OCT4, NANOG, SOX2, TRA181, stage-specific embryonic antigen 4 and TRA-160, and exhibited a normal karyotype. Teratoma and embryoid body formation revealed that iPSCs were able to differentiate into cells of all three germ layers in vitro and in vivo. The results of the present study demonstrate that HSFs derived from patients with burns, may be reprogrammed into stem cells with pluripotency, which provides a basis for cell-based skin tissue engineering in the future.

Distinctive genomic signature of neural and intestinal organoids from familial Parkinson's disease patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells. Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol 2017; 43:584-603.

Abstract
AIMS The leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) G2019S mutation is the most common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). There is compelling evidence that PD is not only a brain disease but also a gastrointestinal disorder; nonetheless, its pathogenesis remains unclear. We aimed to develop human neural and intestinal tissue models of PD patients harbouring an LRRK2 mutation to understand the link between LRRK2 and PD pathology by investigating the gene expression signature. METHODS We generated PD patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) carrying an LRRK2 G2019S mutation (LK2GS) and then differentiated into three-dimensional (3D) human neuroectodermal spheres (hNESs) and human intestinal organoids (hIOs). To unravel the gene and signalling networks associated with LK2GS, we analysed differentially expressed genes in the microarray data by functional clustering, gene ontology (GO) and pathway analyses. RESULTS The expression profiles of LK2GS were distinct from those of wild-type controls in hNESs and hIOs. The most represented GO biological process in hNESs and hIOs was synaptic transmission, specifically synaptic vesicle trafficking, some defects of which are known to be related to PD. The results were further validated in four independent PD-specific hNESs and hIOs by microarray and qRT-PCR analysis. CONCLUSION We provide the first evidence that LK2GS also causes significant changes in gene expression in the intestinal cells. These hNES and hIO models from the same genetic background of PD patients could be invaluable resources for understanding PD pathophysiology and for advancing the complexity of in vitro models with 3D expandable organoids.
