Abstract
Purpose: Adenosine deaminase 2 Deficiency (DADA2) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by systemic vasculopathy, strokes and mild immunodeficiency. Recently NETosis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Deficiency of Adenosine Deaminase 2. To deep investigate the possible effects of NETs on the immune system we characterized proteomic profile of NETs from DADA2 as compared to HD and Polyarteritis Nodosa (PAN) patients. To determine if NETs contain possibly immunogenic antigens we study functional aspects on Dendritic Cells after in vitro stimulation with NETs.
Methods: Twenty-three DADA2 patients were enrolled. We analyzed NETosis by Imaging Flow Citometry. We evaluated NETs remnants and DNAse in the plasma samples by ELISA assay whereas DNAse activity by DNA digestion. We used quantitative proteomics approach and network analysis to identify NET proteins and pathways in 6 DADA2, 7 PAN and 7 HD. We analyzed circulating and monocyte-derived dendritic cells by flow cytometry.
Results: Neutrophils from DADA2 patients show a significant increased suicidal NETosis. DNAse enzymes were not normal in the level or activity. By proteomic analysis we identified 1356 proteins among which a hundred of proteins were significantly up or down-modulated in DADA2 NETs as compared to normal and disease control NETs in resting condition and after stimulation with PMA, Adenosine and TNFα. DADA2 NETs are significantly more efficient than normal NETs in stimulating patients' monocyte-derived dendritic cells.
Conclusion: We identified different pathways significantly modulated in DADA2 NETs versus PAN/HD NETs. This peculiar protein profile could contribute in activating inflammatory pathways in Dendritic cells in DADA2.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Immunology publishes impactful papers in the realm of human immunology, delving into the diagnosis, pathogenesis, prognosis, or treatment of human diseases. The journal places particular emphasis on primary immunodeficiencies and related diseases, encompassing inborn errors of immunity in a broad sense, their underlying genotypes, and diverse phenotypes. These phenotypes include infection, malignancy, allergy, auto-inflammation, and autoimmunity. We welcome a broad spectrum of studies in this domain, spanning genetic discovery, clinical description, immunologic assessment, diagnostic approaches, prognosis evaluation, and treatment interventions. Case reports are considered if they are genuinely original and accompanied by a concise review of the relevant medical literature, illustrating how the novel case study advances the field. The instructions to authors provide detailed guidance on the four categories of papers accepted by the journal.
