Title Pluripotent stem cell models of Blau syndrome reveal an IFN-<gamma>-dependent inflammatory response in macrophages
Organism Homo sapiens
Experiment type Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary Background: Blau syndrome, or early-onset sarcoidosis, is a juvenile-onset systemic granulomatosis associated with a mutation in Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2). The underlying mechanisms of Blau syndrome leading to autoinflammation are still unclear, and there is currently no effective specific treatment for Blau syndrome.
Objectives: To elucidate the mechanisms of autoinflammation in Blau syndrome, we sought to clarify the relation between disease associated-mutant NOD2 and the inflammatory response in human samples.
Methods: Blau syndrome-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) lines were established. To precisely evaluate the in vitro phenotype of iPSC-derived cells, the disease-associated NOD2 mutation of iPSCs was corrected using a CRISPR/Cas9 system. We also introduced the same NOD2 mutation into a control iPSC line. These isogenic iPSCs were then differentiated into monocytic cell lineages, and the status of NF-κB pathway and proinflammatory cytokine secretion were investigated.
Results: We focused on the signals that upregulate the expression of NOD2, especially IFN-γ signaling. IFN-γ treatment of NOD2-mutant macrophages induced ligand-independent NF-κB activation and proinflammatory cytokine production. IFN-γ treatment acted as a priming signal through the up-regulation of NOD2 protein and recruitment of NOD2 on the basement membrane. Conversely, the production of proinflammatory cytokines by MDP, a ligand of NOD2, was decreased in mutant macrophages.
Conclusions: Our data support the significance of ligand-independent autoinflammation in the pathophysiology of Blau syndrome. Our comprehensive isogenic disease-specific iPSC panel provides a useful platform for probing therapeutic and diagnostic clues for the treatment of Blau syndrome patients.
 
Overall design RNA-sequencing was conducted to identify the genes expressed in reponse to stimulation in different manners between WT and MT cells
