Abstract
The Interleukin-17 (IL17) family is a group of cytokines implicated in the etiology of several inflammatory diseases. Interleukin-17 receptor D (IL17RD), also known as Sef (similar expression to fibroblast growth factor) belonging to the family of IL17 receptors, has been shown to modulate IL17A-associated inflammatory phenotypes. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that IL17RD promotes endothelial cell activation and consequent leukocyte adhesion. We utilized primary human aortic endothelial cells and demonstrated that RNAi targeting of IL17RD suppressed transcript levels by 83 % compared to non-targeted controls. Further, RNAi knockdown of IL17RD decreased the adhesion of THP-1 monocytic cells onto a monolayer of aortic endothelial cells in response to IL17A. Additionally, we determined that IL17A did not significantly enhance the activation of canonical MAPK and NFκB pathways in endothelial cells, and further did not significantly affect the expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in aortic endothelial cells, which is contrary to previous findings. We also determined the functional relevance of our findings in vivo by comparing the expression of endothelial VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 and leukocyte infiltration in the aorta in Western diet-fed Il17rd null versus wild-type mice. Our results showed that although Il17rd null mice do not have significant alteration in aortic expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in endothelial cells, they exhibit decreased accumulation of proinflammatory monocytes and neutrophils, suggesting that endothelial IL17RD induced in vivo myeloid cell accumulation is not dependent on upregulation of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression. We further performed proteomics analysis to identify potential molecular mediators of the IL17A/IL17RD signaling axis. Collectively, our results underscore a critical role for Il17rd in the regulation of aortic myeloid cell infiltration in the context of Western diet feeding.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 in rheumatoid arthritis: Longitudinal change after treatment and correlation with treatment efficacy of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. J Clin Lab Anal 2022; 36:e24449. [PMID: 35500150 PMCID: PMC9169166 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.24449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 04/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) correlates with treatment outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study aimed to further evaluate the MALT1 longitudinal change and its relationship with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) response in RA patients. Methods Seventy‐one RA patients receiving TNFi [etanercept (n = 42) or adalimumab (n = 29)] were enrolled. MALT1 was detected by RT‐qPCR in peripheral blood samples of RA patients before treatment (W0), at week (W)4, W12, and W24 after treatment. RA patients were divided into response/non‐response, remission/non‐remission patients according to their treatment outcome at W24. Meanwhile, MALT1 was also detected by RT‐qPCR in 30 osteoarthritis patients and 30 healthy controls (HCs). Results Mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 was elevated in RA patients compared with HCs (Z=−6.392, p < 0.001) and osteoarthritis patients (Z = −5.020, p < 0.001). In RA patients, MALT1 was positively correlated with C‐reactive protein (rs = 0.347, p = 0.003), but not other clinical characteristics, treatment history, or current TNFi category. Meanwhile, MALT1 decreased from W0 to W12 in total RA patients (x2 = 86.455, p < 0.001), etanercept subgroup (x2 = 46.636, p < 0.001), and adalimumab subgroup (x2 = 41.291, p < 0.001). Moreover, MALT1 at W24 (p = 0.012) was decreased in response patients compared with non‐response patients; MALT1 at W12 (p = 0.027) and W24 (p = 0.010) were reduced in remission patients than non‐remission patients. In etanercept subgroup, MALT1 at W24 (p = 0.013) was decreased in response patients compared with non‐response patients. In adalimumab subgroup, MALT1 at W24 (p = 0.015) was lower in remission patients than non‐remission patients. Conclusion Mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 reduction after treatment is associated with response and remission to TNFi in RA patients.
