Biomaterials 2022; 283:121441. [PMID: 35306230 PMCID: PMC8982551 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2021] [Revised: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease with principal symptoms including inflammation and loss of function of lacrimal glands (LG) and salivary glands. While glandular infiltrates includes both B- and T-cells, CD4+ T cells are strongly implicated. Utilizing the male non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of SS, this work: 1) identifies clinically-relevant elevations in cytokines (IL-17A, IL-2) in LG-derived CD4+ T cells; and 2) explores tissue-specific immunosuppression of SS using a novel protein-based drug carrier to concentrate cyclosporine A (CsA) directly in the LG. As a potent immunosuppressant, topical ophthalmic CsA is approved for dry eye disorders; however, it cannot effectively resolve inflammation due to limited accumulation in the LG. Systemic CsA has dose-limiting side effects that also limit its ability to block LG inflammation. Using elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) fused genetically to cyclophilin, the intracellular cognate receptor of CsA, this manuscript reports a sustained-release formulation of CsA that maintains therapeutic drug concentrations in the LG and extends intervals between doses. This formulation blocked both in vitro Th17 cell differentiation and IL-17A secretion. In vivo treatment significantly decreased the abundance of Th17.1 cells, a helper cell population sharing phenotypes of both Th17 and Th1, in the LG of diseased NOD mice. Treatment with even a single dose of the sustained-release formulation was effective enough to improve basal levels of tear production. Thus, this sustained-release formulation suppressed local LG inflammation driven through IL-17 dependent pathways, while improving ocular surface function.

A novel elastin-like polypeptide drug carrier for cyclosporine A improves tear flow in a mouse model of Sjögren's syndrome. J Control Release 2018; 292:183-195. [PMID: 30359668 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2018.10.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2018] [Revised: 10/05/2018] [Accepted: 10/22/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
As a potent macrolide immunosuppressant, cyclosporine A (CsA) is used to treat multiple autoimmune diseases, including non-autoimmune and autoimmune-mediated dry eye disease, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Despite its potency, CsA has poor solubility, poor bioavailability, and can cause serious adverse reactions such as nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. To overcome these limitations, we invented a new strategy to carry CsA by fusing its cognate human receptor, cyclophilin A (CypA), to a 73 kDa elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) termed A192 using recombinant protein expression. Derived from human tropoelastin, ELPs are characterized by the ability to phase separate above a temperature that is a function of variables including concentration, molecular weight, and hydrophobicity. The resultant fusion protein, termed CA192, which assembles into a dimeric species in solution, effectively binds and solubilizes CsA with a Kd of 189 nM, comparable to that of endogenous CypA with a Kd of 35.5 nM. The release profile of CsA from CA192 follows a one phase decay model with a half-life of 957.3 h without a burst release stage. Moreover, CA192-CsA inhibited IL-2 expression induced in Jurkat cells through the calcineurin-NFAT signaling pathway with an IC50 of 1.2 nM, comparable to that of free CsA with an IC50 of 0.5 nM. The intravenous pharmacokinetics of CA192 followed a two-compartment model with a mean residence time of 7.3 h. Subcutaneous administration revealed a bioavailability of 30% and a mean residence time of 15.9 h. When given subcutaneously for 2 weeks starting at 14 weeks in male non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, a model of autoimmune dacryoadenitis used to study Sjögren's syndrome (SS), CA192-CsA (2.5 mg/kg, every other day) significantly (p = 0.014) increased tear production relative to CA192 alone. Moreover, CA192 delivery reduced indications of CsA nephrotoxicity relative to free CsA. CA192 represents a viable new approach to deliver this effective but nephrotoxic agent in a modality that preserves therapeutic efficacy but suppresses drug toxicity.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of topical rapamycin in treating autoimmune dacryoadenitis in a mouse model of Sjögren's syndrome. Methods We developed rapamycin in a poly(ethylene glycol)-distearoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (PEG-DSPE) micelle formulation to maintain solubility. Rapamycin or PEG-DSPE eye drops (vehicle) were administered in a well-established Sjögren's syndrome disease model, the male nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, twice daily for 12 weeks starting at 8 weeks of age. Mouse tear fluid was collected and tear Cathepsin S, a putative tear biomarker for Sjögren's syndrome, was measured. Lacrimal glands were retrieved for histological evaluation, and quantitative real-time PCR of genes associated with Sjögren's syndrome pathogenesis. Tear secretion was measured using phenol red threads, and corneal fluorescein staining was used to assess corneal integrity. Results Lymphocytic infiltration of lacrimal glands from rapamycin-treated mice was significantly (P = 0.0001) reduced by 3.8-fold relative to vehicle-treated mice after 12 weeks of treatment. Rapamycin, but not vehicle, treatment increased tear secretion and decreased corneal fluorescein staining after 12 weeks. In rapamycin-treated mice, Cathepsin S activity was significantly reduced by 3.75-fold in tears (P < 0.0001) and 1.68-fold in lacrimal gland lysates (P = 0.003) relative to vehicle-treated mice. Rapamycin significantly altered the expression of several genes linked to Sjögren's syndrome pathogenesis, including major histocompatibility complex II, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-12a, as well as Akt3, an effector of autophagy. Conclusions Our findings suggest that topical rapamycin reduces autoimmune-mediated lacrimal gland inflammation while improving ocular surface integrity and tear secretion, and thus has potential for treating Sjögren's syndrome–associated dry eye.

Abstract
For decades, Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and Sjögren's syndrome-like (SS-like) disease in patients and mouse models, respectively, have been intensely investigated in attempts to identify the underlying etiologies, the pathophysiological changes defining disease phenotypes, the nature of the autoimmune responses, and the propensity for developing B cell lymphomas. An emerging question is whether the generation of a multitude of mouse models and the data obtained from their studies is actually important to the understanding of the human disease and potential interventional therapies. In this brief report, we comment on how and why mouse models can stimulate interest in specific lines of research that apparently parallel aspects of human SS. Focusing on two mouse models, NOD and B6·Il14α, we present the possible relevance of mouse models to human SS, highlighting a few selected disease-associated biological processes that have baffled both SS and SS-like investigations for decades.

The Spontaneous Autoimmune Neuromyopathy in ICOSL -/- NOD Mice Is CD4 + T-Cell and Interferon-γ Dependent. Front Immunol 2017; 8:287.

Abstract
Abrogation of ICOS/ICOS ligand (ICOSL) costimulation prevents the onset of diabetes in the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse but, remarkably, yields to the development of a spontaneous autoimmune neuromyopathy. At the pathological level, ICOSL−/− NOD mice show stronger protection from insulitis than their ICOS−/− counterparts. Also, the ICOSL−/− NOD model carries a limited C57BL/6 region containing the Icosl nul mutation, but, in contrast to ICOS−/− NOD mice, no gene variant previously reported as associated to NOD diabetes. Therefore, we aimed at providing a detailed characterization of the ICOSL−/− NOD model. The phenotype observed in ICOSL−/− NOD mice is globally similar to that observed in ICOS−/− and ICOS−/−ICOSL−/− double-knockout NOD mice, manifested by a progressive locomotor disability first affecting the front paws as observed by catwalk analysis and a decrease in grip test performance. The pathology remains limited to peripheral nerve and striated muscle. The muscle disease is characterized by myofiber necrosis/regeneration and an inflammatory infiltrate composed of CD4+ T-cells, CD8+ T-cells, and myeloid cells, resembling human myositis. Autoimmune neuromyopathy can be transferred to NOD.scid recipients by CD4+ but not by CD8+ T-cells isolated from 40-week-old female ICOSL−/− NOD mice. The predominant role of CD4+ T-cells is further demonstrated by the observation that neuromyopathy does not develop in CIITA−/−ICOSL−/− NOD in contrast to β2microglobulin−/−ICOSL−/− NOD mice. Also, the cytokine profile of CD4+ T-cells infiltrating muscle and nerve of ICOSL−/− NOD mice is biased toward a Th1 pattern. Finally, adoptive transfer experiments show that diabetes development requires expression of ICOSL, in contrast to neuromyopathy. Altogether, the deviation of autoimmunity from the pancreas to skeletal muscles in the absence of ICOS/ICOSL signaling in NOD mice is strictly dependent on CD4+ T-cells, leads to myofiber necrosis and regeneration. It provides the first mouse model of spontaneous autoimmune myopathy akin to human myositis.

Abstract
Mouse models have been widely used to elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms of human diseases. The advantages of using these models include the ability to study different stages of the disease with particular respect to specific target organs, to focus on the role of specific pathogenic factors and to investigate the effect of possible therapeutic interventions. Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease, characterised by lymphocytic infiltrates in the salivary and lacrimal glands. To date, effective therapy is not available and treatment has been mainly symptomatic. Ongoing studies in murine models are aimed at developing more effective and targeted therapies in SS. The heterogeneity of SS will most probably benefit from optimising therapies, tailored to specific subgroups of the disease. In this review, we provide our perspective on the importance of subdividing SS patients according to their interferon signature, and recommend choosing appropriate mouse models for interferon-positive and interferon-negative SS subtypes. Murine models better resembling human-disease phenotypes will be essential in this endeavour.

Abstract
Non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice are well-established models of independently developing spontaneous autoimmune diseases, Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) and type 1 diabetes (T1D). The key determining factor for T1D is the strong association with particular MHCII molecule and recognition by diabetogenic T cell receptor (TCR) of an insulin peptide presented in the context of I-Ag7 molecule. For SS the association with MHCII polymorphism is weaker and TCR diversity involved in the onset of the autoimmune phase of SS remains poorly understood. To compare the impact of TCR diversity reduction on the development of both diseases we generated two lines of TCR transgenic NOD mice. One line expresses transgenic TCRβ chain originated from a pathogenically irrelevant TCR, and the second line additionally expresses transgenic TCRαmini locus. Analysis of TCR sequences on NOD background reveals lower TCR diversity on Treg cells not only in the thymus, but also in the periphery. This reduction in diversity does not affect conventional CD4+ T cells, as compared to the TCRmini repertoire on B6 background. Interestingly, neither transgenic TCRβ nor TCRmini mice develop diabetes, which we show is due to lack of insulin B:9–23 specific T cells in the periphery. Conversely SS develops in both lines, with full glandular infiltration, production of autoantibodies and hyposalivation. It shows that SS development is not as sensitive to limited availability of TCR specificities as T1D, which suggests wider range of possible TCR/peptide/MHC interactions driving autoimmunity in SS.

Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome (SS), a systemic autoimmune disease, is characterized by inflammation of exocrine tissues accompanied by a significant loss of their secretory function. Clinical symptoms develop late and there are no diagnostic tests enabling early diagnosis of SS. Thus, particularly to study these covert stages, researchers turn to studying animal models where mice provide great freedom for genetic manipulation and testing the effect of experimental intervention. The present review summarizes current literature pertaining to both spontaneous and extrinsic-factor induced SS-like diseases in mouse models, discussing advantages and disadvantages related to the use of murine models in SS research.

Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by focal mononuclear cell infiltration of exocrine tissues, accompanied by loss of secretory function. The pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases is complex and, therefore, difficult to study in vitro. As of today, the role of initiating factors remains obscure, clinical symptoms develop late, and there are no tests for early diagnosis of SS. Hence, the disease is difficult to detect and treat. Animal models may provide insights into the identification of target antigens, narrowing the relevant pathological immune mechanisms, and to study the evolution of tissue pathology. This review summarizes current knowledge on murine strains, both spontaneous and induced models, used to study Sjögren's syndrome. Special attention is paid to the characteristics of different strains regarding their properties to mimic specific aspects or stages of the disease.
