◆カロリンスカ研究所とザックス小児青少年病院は、より的を絞った治療法の設計を目指し、炎症性腸疾患(IBD)の子どもの腸内の免疫系をマッピングする研究を実施しました。
◆研究チームは、フローサイトメトリーとシングルセル技術を用いて、IBDの子ども25人と大人8人、およびIBDでない子ども10人と大人8人の大腸から採取した免疫細胞を分析しました。その結果、炎症は、炎症を引き起こす攻撃的な細胞だけでなく、健康な腸を維持するための細胞の機能低下にも関連していることがわかりました。

IBDの子どもたちの腸の免疫学的特徴を解明(Researchers map the immunology of the gut in children with IBD)

Highlights

•Innate lymphoid cell (ILC) balance is altered in pediatric IBD (pIBD)
•Colonic ILCs and T cells have shared and unique transcriptional programs
•PIBD inflammation is characterized by transcriptional changes in both ILCs and T cells

Summary

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are considered innate counterparts of adaptive T cells; however, their common and unique transcriptional signatures in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (pIBD) are largely unknown. Here, we report a dysregulated colonic ILC composition in pIBD colitis that correlates with inflammatory activity, including accumulation of naive-like CD45RA+CD62L ILCs. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) reveals modules of genes that are shared or unique across innate and adaptive lymphocytes. Shared modules include genes associated with activation/tissue residency, naivety/quiescence, and antigen presentation. Lastly, nearest-neighbor-based analysis facilitates the identification of “most inflamed” and “least inflamed” lymphocytes in pIBD colon with unique transcriptional signatures. Our study reveals shared and unique transcriptional signatures of colonic ILCs and T cells in pIBD. We also provide insight into the transcriptional regulation of colonic inflammation, deepening our understanding of the potential mechanisms involved in pIBD.
