Epithelial cells undergo epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) during migration and regain their epithelial phenotype in the post-migration phase (mesenchymal–epithelial transition; MET). We established an experimental system that reproduced three-dimensional triphasic epithelia, i.e., the original epithelium, its EMT, and MET. Keratinocytes (KCs), skin epithelial cells, placed on a microporous membrane migrated through 3.0-um or larger micropores. The 3.0-um-pored membrane induced an epithelial structure with three states: stratified KCs above the membrane, KCs showing EMT within the micropores, and a new stratified epithelium under the membrane. The membrane with larger micropores failed to maintain the triphasic epithelia. Live imaging revealed that KCs moved in a reciprocating manner, with actin-rich filopodia-like KC structures extending into and out of the 3.0-um micropores, while the cells migrated unidirectionally into larger micropores. Piezo1 and keratin 6 were identified as negative modulators of KC entry to and exit from the 3.0-um micropores. These results demonstrate that non-cancerous epithelial cells migrate through confined spaces in a reciprocating manner, which might help form triphasic epithelia, recapitulating wound healing processes. - A case of rapidly progressive hair loss due to azathioprine, and the prevalence of NUDT15 variants among Japanese patients with autoimmune blistering diseases: A single-center retrospective observational study.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs), classified into pemphigus and pemphigoid, consist of relatively rare skin disorders caused by autoantibodies that target desmosomal and hemidesmosomal proteins, respectively. Although systemic corticosteroids are used as a first-line treatment for AIBDs, azathioprine is frequently co-administered as a steroid-sparing agent. Azathioprine is metabolized into thioguanine nucleotides (TGNs) which are its major active metabolites. The enzyme nudix hydrolase 15 (NUDT15) plays a key role in regulating TGNs. Serious side effects of azathioprine, including leukopenia and alopecia, are known to be particularly problematic in individuals with NUDT15 variants. The single-nucleotide polymorphism c.415C >T (p.Arg139Cys) is one of the most frequent NUDT15 variants associated with severe thiopurine toxicity. Recently, we treated a case of pemphigus vulgaris in a patient with NUDT15 variants in which the patient developed rapidly progressive diffuse hair loss and myelosuppression while receiving azathioprine. Previous reports on NUDT15 polymorphisms mainly focused on patients with inflammatory bowel disease or hematological malignancies, and the prevalence of NUDT15 polymorphisms remains unknown in AIBDs. This highlights the urgent need for research on NUDT15 polymorphisms in AIBDs to achieve a better understanding of the genetic factors influencing adverse reactions to azathioprine. To clarify the prevalence of NUDT15 variants in Japanese patients with AIBDs, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 78 patients with AIBDs (26 with bullous pemphigoid, 26 with pemphigus vulgaris, 17 with pemphigus foliaceus, and nine with other AIBDs) who had come to Hokkaido University Hospital between 2018 and 2023. The frequencies of NUDT15 variants of Arg/Arg, Arg/Cys, and Cys/Cys in these patients were approximately 72%, 23%, and 5%, respectively. Our findings indicate a prevalence of NUDT15 variants in AIBD patients that is similar to the prevalences of previous studies on patients with other diseases. These results emphasize the importance of screening for NUDT15 variants prior to initiating azathioprine treatment in Japanese patients with AIBDs. - Clinical characteristics and outcomes of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor-associated bullous pemphigoid patients: A retrospective study.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease caused by anti-type XVII collagen (COL17) antibodies. BP has some immunological features such as eosinophilic infiltration and the deposition of IgE autoantibodies in the skin; however, the mechanism behind such features remains largely unclear. We focused on the autoantigen-specific CD4+ T cells, which are considered to regulate immune response. We established COL17-specific CD4+ T cell lines in vitro. Wild-type mice were immunized with synthesized peptides that include a pathogenic epitope of COL17, and lymphocytes were subjected to a limiting dilution assay. We established 5 T cell lines and examined the pathogenicity by transferring them with COL17-primed B cells into Rag-2-/-/COL17-humanized mice that express human COL17 but not mouse COL17 in the skin. Notably, 3 lines induced BP-like skin changes associated with subepidermal separation and eosinophilic infiltration histologically, and the production of anti-COL17 antibodies. The other 2 lines did not induce such phenotypes. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that Th2 cytokines, particularly IL-5, were highly expressed in the pathogenic T cell lines. Anti-IL-5 antibody administration significantly reduced the skin changes and attenuated the production of autoantibodies. Thus, the production of IL-5 is critical for COL17-specific CD4+ T cells to induce BP phenotypes in vivo. - Patterning in stratified epithelia depends on cell-cell adhesion.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Epithelia consist of proliferating and differentiating cells that often display patterned arrangements. However, the mechanism regulating these spatial arrangements remains unclear. Here, we show that cell-cell adhesion dictates multicellular patterning in stratified epithelia. When cultured keratinocytes, a type of epithelial cell in the skin, are subjected to starvation, they spontaneously develop a pattern characterized by areas of high and low cell density. Pharmacological and knockout experiments show that adherens junctions are essential for patterning, whereas the mathematical model that only considers local cell-cell adhesion as a source of attractive interactions can form regions with high/low cell density. This phenomenon, called cell-cell adhesion-induced patterning (CAIP), influences cell differentiation and proliferation through Yes-associated protein modulation. Starvation, which induces CAIP, enhances the stratification of the epithelia. These findings highlight the intrinsic self-organizing property of epithelial cells. - Blaschkoid granulomatous pigmented purpuric dermatosis in childhood.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare, cutaneous intraepithelial adenocarcinoma typically treated with wide local excision. Unfortunately, a number of patients with metastases show poor responses to chemotherapy. While some studies have explored trastuzumab's effectiveness against EMPD positive for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), trastuzumab resistance (TR) may emerge after anti-HER2 therapy. METHODS/SUBJECTS: In this study, we established TR EMPD patient-derived xenografts (PDX) that replicated the histological and HER2 expression traits of naive EMPD tumours. RESULTS: Cancer gene analyses revealed a loss of the PTEN gene in TR tumours, which was further confirmed by immunohistochemical staining and immunoblotting to test for protein expression levels. Reduced PTEN levels correlated with increased protein kinase B (Akt) phosphorylation and p27 downregulation, suggesting a potential mechanism for trastuzumab resistance in EMPD cells. In the trastuzumab-sensitive EMPD-PDX mouse model, PTEN inhibitors partially restored trastuzumab-mediated tumour regression. The TR EMPD-PDX responded favourably to targeted therapy (lapatinib, abemaciclib, palbociclib) and chemotherapy (eribulin, docetaxel, trastuzumab deruxtecan). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates an innovative TR EMPD-PDX model and introduces promising antineoplastic effects with various treatments for TR EMPD tumours. - Study Design of a Phase 2/3 Randomized Controlled Trial of Dupilumab in Adults with Bullous Pemphigoid: LIBERTY-BP ADEPT.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare, autoimmune, blistering skin disease associated with high disease burden, profoundly decreased quality of life and increased morbidity. Emerging evidence supports an important role for type 2 inflammation in disease pathogenesis. Current management relies on topical and/or systemic corticosteroids, non-selective immunosuppressants and antibiotics with anti-inflammatory properties, which are all limited by side effects and toxicities. Therefore, targeted, efficacious and safe therapies are needed. Dupilumab blocks the shared receptor component for interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13, key and central drivers of type 2 inflammation. Several reports of patients successfully treated with dupilumab have been published; however, dupilumab has not been formally assessed in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. OBJECTIVES: We report the design of LIBERTY-BP ADEPT, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dupilumab in adults with BP. METHODS: LIBERTY-BP ADEPT comprises a 35-day screening, 52-week treatment and 12-week follow-up period. Approximately 98 adults aged 18-90 years with moderate-to-severe BP are being enrolled at 51 sites on 4 continents and randomized 1:1 to subcutaneous dupilumab or placebo every 2 weeks. All participants will receive concomitant oral corticosteroids (OCS). PLANNED OUTCOMES: The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving complete remission off steroid therapy at week 36. Key secondary endpoints include total cumulative OCS dose to week 36, percent change and proportion of patients with ≥ 4-point reduction in the weekly average of daily Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale from baseline to week 36 and percent change in Bullous Pemphigoid Area Index score from baseline to week 36. CONCLUSION: The trial results will provide evidence on whether the efficacy and safety of dupilumab support its use as a potential novel treatment approach for BP and will provide new insights into the role of type 2 inflammation in BP pathogenesis. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04206553. - Correction to: Study Design of a Phase 2/3 Randomized Controlled Trial of Dupilumab in Adults with Bullous Pemphigoid: LIBERTY-BP ADEPT.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Malignant melanoma (MM) is often associated with a poor prognosis due to metastasis and cancer death. The monitoring of prognostic factors is of vital importance, and among these factors, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) should be closely observed during the disease course. Important factors for predicting the survival of MM patients include tumor thickness, ulceration, the number of lymph node metastases, metastatic lesions, and the sites of metastasis. Weight loss is not generally included in the prognostic factors of MM, but it is monitored in other cancers, such as lung cancer and gastrointestinal cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between weight loss and MM prognosis. Using data from MM patients who had been treated at our institution, we assessed the prognoses of two groups: weight loss of at least 5% body weight or weight loss not exceeding 5% body weight within a 12-month period. As a result, a higher mortality rate was found for the former group. Furthermore, the loss of at least 5% of body weight within a month was found to almost always adversely affect the patient's prognosis. The present study indicates that there may be an association between MM prognosis and weight loss of at least 5% within a year, and body weight could potentially serve as an informative factor for MM survival. - A familial case of extramammary Paget disease: Analysis of whole-exome sequencing

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Patients with acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis (AIGA) demonstrate a sudden loss of sweating function without neurological or endocrine abnormalities. The main treatment is steroid pulse therapy. However, the number of courses required for improvement has been unclear. This study aims to clarify the factors associated with AIGA disease severity and with AIGA patients' responses to steroid pulse therapy. We retrospectively analysed the clinical information of 28 patients with AIGA in our department from the last 10 years. Univariate analysis revealed that patients with a large anhidrotic area need multiple courses of steroid pulse therapy. - Dermoscopic Features of Heterotopic Salivary Gland Tissue in the Neck: Report of a Case.

英語, INTRODUCTION: Heterotopic salivary gland tissue (HSGT) is diagnosed when salivary gland tissue is found in areas other than the major or minor salivary glands. No dermoscopic findings of HSGT have been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report gives the dermoscopic findings of a 45-year-old woman with HSGT who presented with a longstanding pale red macule on her neck, characterized by repeated clear fluid discharge. Dermoscopic examination showed a red dot with a pale pink halo and telangiectasia throughout the lesion. An excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of HSGT, revealing the presence of mucous and serous salivary glandular structures within subcutaneous fat tissue. It has been reported that HSGT is associated with periductal lymphocytic infiltration, which was also observed in this case. CONCLUSION: We think that the "red dot with a pale pink halo" is a unique dermoscopic finding of HSGT, which is rarely observed in branchial anomalies. - Eribulin for patients with metastatic extramammary Paget disease: Study protocol for a single-arm phase II trial.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous malignancy that predominantly affects the anogenital areas of the elderly. Although the efficacy of docetaxel and other cytotoxic agents for advanced EMPD has been reported in small retrospective case studies, no treatment has been proven effective in prospective clinical trials. We established the world's first in vivo EMPD experimental model (a patient-derived xenograft model). In our treatment experiment, xenograft tumours showed a remarkable response to eribulin. This study evaluates the efficacy of eribulin for patients with advanced EMPD. In October 2022, we started a single-arm phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of eribulin as a treatment for adult patients with unresectable EMPD with measurable lesions. Enrolment in this clinical trial is open to patients with any prior treatment for EMPD. The primary endpoint is overall response rate; the secondary endpoints include disease control rate, overall survival, progression-free survival and adverse events. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hokkaido University and the other collaborating institutions. If the primary endpoint is met, it is our hope that eribulin will be regarded as a standard medication for patients with advanced EMPD. - Transcriptomic response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to dupilumab in a 65-year-old patient with bullous pemphigoid.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is treated with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, but these typically fail to achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes. There have been no preclinical studies to evaluate the effectiveness of eribulin against cSCC. Here, we examine the effects of eribulin using cSCC cell lines and a novel cSCC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model. In the cSCC cell lines (A431 and DJM-1 cells), eribulin was found to inhibit tumor cell proliferation in vitro as assessed by cell ATP levels. DNA content analysis by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) showed that eribulin induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. In xenograft models of cSCC cell lines, the administration of eribulin suppressed tumor growth in vivo. We also developed a cSCC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) which reproduces the histological and genetic characteristics of a primary tumor. Pathogenic mutations in TP53 and ARID2 were detected in the patient’s metastatic tumor and in the PDX tumor. The cSCC-PDX responded well to the administration of eribulin and cisplatin. In conclusion, the present study shows the promising antineoplastic effects of eribulin in cSCC. Also, we established a novel cSCC-PDX model that preserves the patient’s tumor. This PDX could assist researchers who are exploring innovative therapies for cSCC. - Association of Genetic Variants of HLA-DQA1 with Bullous Pemphigoid Induced by Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune blistering disorder. Several factors, including an antidiabetic (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor [DPP-4i]), have been reported to trigger BP. To identify the genetic variants associated with BP, GWAS and HLA fine-mapping analyses were conducted. The 21 cases of noninflammatory BP induced by DPP-4i (i.e., DPP-4i-induced noninflammatory BP) and 737 controls (first cohort) and the 8 cases and 164 controls (second cohort) were included in the GWAS. Combining GWAS satisfied the genome-wide significant association of HLA-DQA1 (chromosome 6, rs3129763 [T/C]) with the risk of DPP-4i-induced noninflammatory BP (allele T carrier of 72.4% [21 of 29] in cases vs. 15.3% [138 of 901] in controls; dominant model, OR = 14, P = 1.8 × 10-9). HLA fine mapping revealed that HLA-DQA1∗05 with serine at position 75 of HLA-DQα1 (Ser75) had the most significant association with the combined cohort of DPP-4i-induced noninflammatory BP (79.3% [23 of 29] cases vs. 16.1% [145 of 901] controls; dominant model, OR = 21, P = 2.0 × 10-10). HLA-DQα1 Ser75 polymorphism was located inside the functional pocket of HLA-DQ molecules, suggesting the impact of HLA-DQα1 Ser75 on DPP-4i-induced noninflammatory BP. - Hand-foot syndrome histopathologically presenting eccrine squamous syringometaplasia due to pembrolizumab after lenvatinib treatment.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), INTRODUCTION: Osmium tetroxide is a strong oxidizing agent. After dermal exposure to osmium tetroxide, skin discoloration and red papules can occur. We describe a patient with skin discoloration due to osmium tetroxide. CASE SUMMARY: A 25-year-old postgraduate student unintentionally exposed his hand to osmium tetroxide while working in a laboratory setting. After immediate washing, he sought medical care due to left middle finger discoloration. He reported no discomfort in the affected area. Thorough water rinsing was continued, and corticosteroid ointment was applied. IMAGES: Our patient developed dark brown pigmentation on the ventral side of the left middle finger. The pigmentation disappeared one week later. CONCLUSION: Osmium tetroxide may induce dark brown skin discoloration. - Development of a nutritionally balanced, melt‐in‐the‐mouth chocolate for patients with epidermolysis bullosa

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of inherited blistering disorders that primarily affect the skin and mucous membranes of the digestive tract, which can lead to poor nutritional status. Dietary supplements and nutritional support methods, such as nasogastric tubes and gastrostomy, have been employed to improve the nutritional status of patients with EB; however, few foods are suitable for enjoyable eating with family and friends. Here, we introduce a nutritionally balanced, melt‐in‐the‐mouth chocolate called andew, which was specifically designed for patients with EB. The andew chocolate is nutritionally superior and melts more easily than traditional chocolates, thus it is suitable for patients with EB, who are prone to oral erosions. Patients responded more favorably to the taste and texture of andew than to those of other dietary supplements. Not only does andew provide nutritional benefits, but it also promotes enjoyable eating with family members and friends, which could positively impact patients' mental health. - A case of bullous pemphigoid developing under treatment with benralizumab for bronchial asthma.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by itchy erythema and tense blisters on the whole body. Recent reports have unveiled the pathogenic roles of eosinophils in BP (e.g., dermal-epidermal separation, generation of pruritus). Thus, eosinophils are considered a therapeutic target. Benralizumab is an anti-IL-5 receptor alpha (IL-5Rα) monoclonal antibody (mAb) that is widely used to treat severe eosinophilic asthma. By affecting IL-5Rα, benralizumab depletes eosinophils and basophils due to apoptosis through antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. The efficacies of benralizumab and other biologics, including bertilimumab (anti-eotaxin-1 mAb) and mepolizumab (anti-IL-5 mAb), were evaluated in several clinical trials. Also, reslizumab, an anti-IL-5 mAb, was reported as a successful treatment option in a case of BP. We present a case of severe asthma treated with benralizumab at 8-week intervals for 3 years before BP developed. Histologically, subepidermal blisters without eosinophilic infiltration were observed. Methylprednisolone pulse therapy followed by 40 mg/day (1 mg/kg/day) of oral prednisolone (PSL) was initiated, but the skin lesions worsened. Additional intravenous immunoglobulin and oral azathioprine enabled the oral PSL to be tapered. The benralizumab was discontinued after the onset of BP because the asthma did not worsen. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of BP developing during anti-eosinophil therapy. BP may occur paradoxically via various pathways during treatment with drugs that are typically effective against BP. - 水疱性類天疱瘡とBullous Rheumatoid Neutrophilic Dermatosisとの鑑別を要したリウマトイド血管炎

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: Pemphigoid diseases are characterized by subepidermal blister formation accompanied by autoantibodies targeting skin component molecules, such as BP180. It is suggested that an epitope-phenotype correlation exists among autoantibodies recognizing BP180. However, it is unclear which regions of BP180 are likely targets for autoantibodies. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the portions of BP180 where antibodies tend to react under the breakdown of immune tolerance. METHODS: We immunized mice with full-length mouse BP180 (mBP180) to produce anti-mBP180 antibodies. Using the immunized mice, hybridoma cells were established to produce anti-mBP180 antibodies. We analyzed the characteristics of the anti-mBP180 antibodies that were produced in terms of epitopes, immunoglobulin subclasses, and somatic hypermutations. RESULTS: Hybridoma cells derived from immunized mice with full-length mBP180 produced antibodies targeting the intracellular domain (IC) and the shed ectodomain (EC) of mBP180. Using the domain-deleted mBP180 recombinant protein, we revealed that monoclonal anti-mBP180 EC antibodies react to neoepitopes on the 13th collagenous region of cleaved mBP180, which corresponds to the epitopes of linear IgA bullous dermatosis antibodies in human BP180. Furthermore, the subclasses of these antibodies could be distinguished by epitope: The subclass of the anti-mBP180 IC monoclonal antibodies was IgG, whereas that of the anti-mBP180 EC antibodies was IgM. Of note, a clone of these IgM mBP180 EC antibodies was a germline antibody without somatic hypermutation, which is also known as a natural antibody. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that mice potentially have natural antibodies targeting the neoepitopes of cleaved mBP180 EC. - Prognostic Analysis of Patients With Extramammary Paget Disease Treated With Conservative Excision

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a malignant skin tumor with a relatively good prognosis. The standard treatment is wide local resection or Mohs micrographic surgery. However, conservative excision may be a better option when radical wide local excision is difficult to perform due to the patients' mental or physical condition. There have been no studies on the prognosis of patients with EMPD who underwent conservative excision. OBJECTIVE: To compare the prognosis of conservative excision cases to wide excision cases of EMPD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 69 cases of EMPD without metastases to lymph nodes or organs (11 cases treated with conservative excision, 58 cases treated with wide local excision) who underwent resection of the primary tumor from 2002 to 2022 in the Department of Dermatology at Hokkaido University Hospital. RESULTS: The log-rank test showed no significant differences in overall survival or metastasis-free survival between the wide excision group and the conservative excision group, although conservative surgery was often chosen in elderly patients or patients with lower performance status. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that conservative surgery should be considered as a treatment option for EMPD. - Skin biopsies for diagnosing neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease: A retrospective study of 12 cases.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition. Skin biopsies taken from the lower leg were reported to be a standard diagnostic procedure for NIID; however, no studies have addressed the optimal skin biopsy locations. We retrospectively analyzed 12 cases in which skin biopsies were performed for diagnosing NIID. We collected clinical information including age, sex, skin biopsy site, the presence of nuclear inclusion bodies, the results of p62 immunostaining, the final diagnosis from the department of neurology, and the presence of abnormal GGC repeats in the NOTCH2NLC gene. Four of the 12 cases had a final diagnosis of NIID. One of the four cases was biopsied from the lower leg, whereas the other three cases were biopsied from the abdomen or thigh. Biopsy specimens of the four definite NIID cases revealed the average rates of nuclear inclusion body-positive cells in adipocytes, sweat gland cells, and fibroblasts to be 13.2%, 10.3%, and 6.3%, respectively. GGC repeat abnormalities in the NOTCH2NLC gene were observed in two of the four cases. The present study indicates that sites with ample subcutaneous fat tissue could be promising for diagnostic skin biopsies for NIID. - Lessons from clinical trials on triple combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and BRAF/MEK inhibitors in BRAF-mutant melanoma.

英語, Mycobacterium genavense is a rare type of non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) that has been reported to cause disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients. Because M. genavense is slow-growing and poorly able to form colonies on Ogawa's medium, genetic and molecular analyses are necessary to identify this pathogen. NTM infections present with various cutaneous manifestations. Of these, rare cases have been reported to present with mycobacterial pseudotumors. However, there are no reports of M. genavense with cutaneous pseudotumors. In this paper, we report a case of a pseudotumor due to M. genavense infection that was observed only in a cutaneous lesion. The patient was taking 5 mg of prednisolone and was aware of a tumor on the right lower leg. Biopsy samples showed diffuse spindle-shaped histiocytes and various other inflammatory cell infiltrates, and Ziehl-Neelsen staining detected mycobacterium. Since no colonies formed on Ogawa medium, genetic testing was performed, and M. genavense was identified by DNA sequence analysis. There were no other disseminated lesions beyond the skin, including in the lungs and liver. Since the patient was immunosuppressed, in accordance with previous literature, a combination therapy of clarithromycin, ethambutol, and rifampicin for 4 months was recommended. When no growth is observed on Ogawa's medium in cases of infection, it is essential to identify the infectious pathogen by genetic analysis. - 家族性乳房外パジェット病における遺伝子変異解析結果

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Pemphigoid diseases are a group of autoimmune disorders characterized by subepidermal blistering in the skin and mucosa. Among them, mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) autoantibodies are characterized by targeting multiple molecules in the hemidesmosomes, including collagen XVII, laminin-332, and integrin a6/β4. Traditionally, recombinant proteins of the autoantigens have been employed to identify circulating autoantibodies by immune assays. However, developing an efficient detection system for MMP autoantibodies has been challenging because the autoantibodies have heterogeneous profiles and the antibody titers are typically low. In this study, we introduce an ELISA that takes advantage of a native autoantigen complex rather than simple recombinant proteins. We generated HaCaT keratinocytes with a DDDDK-tag knocked in at the COL17A1 locus by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing. Immunoprecipitation using the DDDDK-tag isolated a native complex that contained full-length and processed collagen XVII and integrin α6/β4. Then, we used the complex proteins to prepare an ELISA system and enrolled 55 MMP cases to validate its diagnostic performance. The sensitivity and specificity of the ELISA for detecting MMP autoantibodies were 70.9% and 86.7%, respectively, far superior to those of conventional assays. In autoimmune diseases such as MMP, in which autoantibodies target various molecules, isolating the antigen-protein complexes can help establish a diagnostic system. - Two cases of Hallopeau-type pemphigus vegetans with anti-desmoglein 1 and anti-desmocollin 3 antibodies without mucosal involvement.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) is a scaffolding protein of tight junctions, which seal adjacent epithelial cells, that is also expressed in adherens junctions. The distribution pattern of ZO-1 differs among stratified squamous epithelia, including that between skin and oral buccal mucosa. However, the causes for this difference, and the mechanisms underlying ZO-1 spatial regulation, have yet to be elucidated. In this study, we showed that epithelial turnover and proliferation are associated with ZO-1 distribution in squamous epithelia. We tried to verify the regulation of ZO-1 by comparing normal skin and psoriasis, known as inflammatory skin disease with rapid turnover. We as well compared buccal mucosa and oral lichen planus, known as an inflammatory oral disease with a longer turnover interval. The imiquimod (IMQ) mouse model, often used as a psoriasis model, can promote cell proliferation. On the contrary, we peritoneally injected mice mitomycin C, which reduces cell proliferation. We examined whether IMQ and mitomycin C cause changes in the distribution and appearance of ZO-1. Human samples and mouse pharmacological models revealed that slower epithelial turnover/proliferation led to the confinement of ZO-1 to the uppermost part of squamous epithelia. In contrast, ZO-1 was widely distributed under conditions of faster cell turnover/proliferation. Cell culture experiments and mathematical modelling corroborated these ZO-1 distribution patterns. These findings demonstrate that ZO-1 distribution is affected by epithelial cell dynamics. - ニボルマブによる術後補助療法を行った末端黒子型悪性黒色腫患者5名の治療効果の検討

日本語 - What's new in the pathogeneses and triggering factors of bullous pemphigoid.
Hideyuki Ujiie
The Journal of dermatology, 50, 2, 140, 149, 2023年02月, [国際誌]
英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a subepidermal blistering disease induced by autoantibodies to type XVII collagen (COL17, also called BP180) and BP230. Previous studies using patients' samples and animal disease models elucidated the complement-dependent and complement-independent pathways of blister formation, the pathogenic roles of immune cells (T and B cells, macrophages, mast cells, neutrophils, eosinophils), and the pathogenicity of IgE autoantibodies in BP. This review introduces the recent progress on the mechanism behind the epitope-spreading phenomenon in BP, which is considered to be important to understand the chronic and intractable disease course of BP, and the pathogenicity of anti-BP230 autoantibodies, mainly focusing on studies that used active disease models. To clarify the pathogenesis of BP, the mechanism behind the breakdown of immune tolerance to BP antigens should be investigated. Recent studies using various experimental models have revealed important roles for regulatory T cells in the maintenance of self-tolerance to COL17 and BP230 as well as in the suppression of inflammation triggered by the binding of antibodies to COL17. Notably, physical stresses such as trauma, thermal burns, bone fractures, irradiation and ultraviolet exposure, some pathologic conditions such as neurological diseases and hematological malignancies, and the use of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors have been reported as triggering factors for BP. These factors and certain underlying conditions such as genetic background, regulatory T-cell dysfunction or aging might synergistically affect some individuals and eventually induce BP. Further studies on the breakdown of self-tolerance and on the identification of key molecules that are relevant to blister formation and inflammation may expand our understanding of BP's etiology and may lead to the development of novel therapeutic approaches. - FAM83Hの発現低下はケラチン分布の変化を介して皮膚有棘細胞癌の遊走と浸潤を促進する

Journal of dermatological science, 109, 1, 22, 29, 2023年01月, [国際誌]
英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: In Japan, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been approved for corticosteroid-unresponsive bullous pemphigoid (BP); however, its usage, efficacy, and safety in clinical settings remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate IVIG efficacy, we examined the improvement in disease severity based on the Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index (BPDAI). METHODS: In this 3-year (April 2016-March 2019), prospective, post-marketing, observational surveillance study, we enrolled 379 patients (51.3 % men; mean age, 74.5 years) with corticosteroid-unresponsive BP treated with IVIG from 143 institutions in Japan (720 treatment cycles). The percentage of patients who improved by at least one severity stage or whose symptoms completely resolved based on the BPDAI score was evaluated at 15, 30, and 60-90 days. RESULTS: The improvement rates at 15, 30, and 60-90 days after initial treatment in the 328 IVIG-naïve patients were 70.7 %, 83.5 %, and 84.3 %, respectively. The BPDAI score decreased rapidly and significantly by 15 days compared with that observed during pre-treatment. Further improvement was observed at 30 and 60-90 days. The corticosteroid dose and anti-BP180 antibody titers decreased significantly post-treatment (both, p < .001). Approximately 25 % of IVIG-naïve patients underwent multiple treatment cycles. The improvement rate at 30 days after the final dose was 88 %, and the symptoms completely resolved in 44 % of patients. The incidence of adverse drug reactions per cycle was 8.34 %; the most common reaction was transient thrombocytopenia. CONCLUSION: Most patients showed improvement in severity and decrease in corticosteroid dose and anti-BP180 antibody levels post-treatment, indicating that IVIG is useful for corticosteroid-unresponsive BP treatment. - Beneficial effects of nintedanib on cardiomyopathy in patients with systemic sclerosis: a pilot study.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), OBJECTIVES: Nintedanib is an inhibitor of tyrosine kinases that has been shown to slow the progression of interstitial lung disease (ILD), including ILD associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc). The aim of this study was to explore the effect of nintedanib on cardiomyopathy associated with SSc. METHODS: Twenty consecutively hospitalized patients with SSc-ILD were enrolled and prospectively followed. The rate of change at six months in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parametric mapping, including myocardial extracellular volume, was primarily evaluated. Other endpoints included changes in CMR functional parameters, echocardiographic parameters, modified Rodnan skin score, serum biomarkers, and pulmonary function test. RESULTS: Nintedanib was administered in 10 patients, whereas the other 10 were treated without nintedanib or watched, according to ILD severity and progression. Baseline values of CMR parametric mapping were not different between the two groups. The rate of change at six months in myocardial extracellular volume was largely different, almost divergent between the nintedanib group and the control group (-1.62% vs. +2.00%, p= 0.0001). Among other endpoints, the change in right ventricular ejection fraction was significantly different between the two groups (p= 0.02), with a preferential change in the nintedanib group. CONCLUSION: Our data indicate beneficial signals of nintedanib on cardiomyopathy associated with SSc. The anti-fibrotic effect of nintedanib might not be limited to the lung. - Carotenoderma due to lycopenemia: A case report and evaluation of lycopene deposition in the skin.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Carotenoderma is a yellow-orange coloration of the skin caused by high levels of serum carotenoids, mostly due to the excessive intake of carotenoid-rich foods. The yellowish coloration is typically observed on the palms, soles, and nasolabial folds. Although the physical appearance is prominent, the condition itself is benign and harmless. Diagnosing carotenoderma is not difficult because of its unique manifestations, but its pathophysiology remains unclear. We report a relatively rare case of carotenoderma due to lycopenemia caused by the excessive intake of lycopene-rich vegetables and fruits. Lycopene is a carotenoid component that is distinguished by the high absorption of light around 488 nm. Given these characteristics, we examined a hematoxylin-eosin-stained specimen from the patient and tape-stripped samples by fluorescent microscopy with 488 nm wavelength emission and compared them with normal skin samples. Notably, the patient's samples showed a weaker autofluorescence in the stratum corneum and sweat glands. Furthermore, we measured carotenoid concentrations in the patient's skin noninvasively with Vegecheck® and found a higher score than the average of 24 healthy volunteers. These results support the long-held hypothesis that carotenoids are secreted in sweat and are deposited in the stratum corneum. To the best of our knowledge, no previous reports have measured skin carotenoid levels nor detailed the pathological findings of carotenoderma patients. This case further highlights that the excessive intake of lycopene causes carotenoderma and demonstrates that carotenoid deposition is particularly pronounced in the stratum corneum of the skin. - A case of atopic dermatitis-associated dupilumab-resistant alopecia totalis successfully treated with baricitinib.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Adjuvant nivolumab therapy has been reported to improve the survival of melanoma patients. Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) has been reported to be less likely to respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) than other subtypes. However, the efficacy of adjuvant nivolumab therapy for ALM patients remains uncertain due to the low number of cases. In this single-center retrospective case series, we analyzed the clinical data of patients with resected stage III/IV ALM who were referred to our department between April 1, 2004 and March 31, 2022. The analyzed clinical data included age, sex, TNM stage, treatments, adverse events and disease-free survival (DFS). Enrolled patients were divided into a nivolumab group and a non-ICI group according to the adjuvant therapy they received. In total, 27 patients were included. The nivolumab and non-ICI groups had 5 and 22 patients, respectively. There were no significant differences in patient characteristics between the two groups. There were no serious treatment-related adverse events in the non-ICI group, but one patient in the nivolumab group developed type 1 diabetes. In the survival analysis, the DFS for the nivolumab group did not exceed that of the non-ICI group in postoperative adjuvant therapy for ALM patients.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This was a multicenter clinical trial of rituximab, a chimeric monoclonal IgG antibody directed against CD20, for the treatment of refractory pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus. In total, 20 patients were treated with two doses of rituximab (1000 mg; 2 weeks apart) on days 0 and 14. The primary end point was the proportion of patients who achieved complete or partial remission on day 168 following the first rituximab dose. Of the 20 enrolled patients, 11 (55%) and four (20%) achieved complete and partial remission, respectively; therefore, remission was achieved in a total of 15 patients (75.0% [95% confidence interval, 50.9%-91.3%]). It was demonstrated that the remission rate was greater than the prespecified threshold (5%). In addition, a significant improvement in clinical score (Pemphigus Disease Area Index) and decrease in serum anti-desmoglein antibody level were observed over time. Four serious adverse events (heart failure, pneumonia, radial fracture, and osteonecrosis) were recorded in two patients, of which only pneumonia was considered causally related with rituximab. The level of peripheral blood CD19-positive B lymphocytes was decreased on day 28 after rituximab treatment and remained low throughout the study period until day 168. Our results confirm the efficacy and safety of rituximab therapy for refractory pemphigus in Japanese patients. - Acquired perforating dermatosis induced by necitumumab.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is an adenocarcinoma that develops mainly in the genital region of older adults. The prognosis for advanced EMPD is almost always poor; thus, novel therapeutic strategies need to be developed. HER2-targeted antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) such as trastuzumab emtansine and trastuzumab deruxtecan have proven effective against HER2-positive breast cancers; however, no studies have addressed HER2-targeted ADCs as treatments for EMPD. We examine the efficacy of ADCs against an EMPD patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model harboring pathogenic ERBB2 mutations and investigate the expression levels of HER2 using EMPD clinical samples. Trastuzumab emtansine or trastuzumab deruxtecan was administered intravenously to tumor-bearing NOD/Scid mice. Treatment with trastuzumab emtansine or trastuzumab deruxtecan was found to significantly regress EMPD-PDX tumors in only seven days, with no recurrence observed for 10 weeks. EMPD tumors extracted 48 h after drug administration revealed the TUNEL-positive ratio to be significantly higher for the HER2-targeted ADC-treated tumors than for the control tumors. EMPD patients’ clinical samples revealed a significant correlation between HER2 positivity and invasion, suggesting that HER2 status is associated with tumor progression. Our results suggest that HER2-targeted ADCs could be novel and promising treatment options for patients with EMPD, especially in ERBB2-mutant or ERBB2-overexpressed cases. - Regression of acquired reactive perforating collagenosis after dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor cessation.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Hemidesmosomes (HDs) are adhesion complexes that promote epithelial-stromal attachment in stratified and complex epithelia, including the epidermis. In various biological processes, such as differentiation and migration of epidermal keratinocytes during wound healing or carcinoma invasion, quick assembly and disassembly of HDs are prerequisites. In this study, we show that inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling disturbs HD organization in keratinocytes. Screening with inhibitors identified the depletion of HD components and HD-like structures through Wnt inhibition, but keratinocyte differentiation was not affected. Wnt inhibition significantly diminished plectin and type XVII collagen expression in the basal side of Wnt-inhibited cells and the dermo-epidermal junction of the Wnt-inactive murine basal epidermis. Similar to Wnt inhibition, PLEC-knockout cells or cells with plectin-type XVII collagen binding defects showed type XVII collagen reduction in the basal side of the cells, implying the possible involvement of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in HD assembly. Atypical protein kinase C inhibition ameliorated the phenotypes of Wnt-inhibited cells. These findings show that Wnt/β-catenin signaling regulates the localization of HD components in keratinocytes and that the atypical protein kinase C pathway is involved in Wnt inhibition‒induced HD disarrangement. Our study suggests that the Wnt signaling pathway could be a potential therapeutic target for treating HD-defective diseases, such as epidermolysis bullosa. - Case Report: Hereditary Fibrosing Poikiloderma With Tendon Contractures, Myopathy, and Pulmonary Fibrosis (POIKTMP) Presenting With Liver Cirrhosis and Steroid-Responsive Interstitial Pneumonia

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Background: Hereditary fibrosing poikiloderma with tendon contractures, myopathy, and pulmonary fibrosis (POIKTMP) is an extremely rare disease caused by mutations in FAM111B, and only approximately 30 cases have been reported worldwide. Some patients develop interstitial pneumonia, which may lead to progressive pulmonary fibrosis and poor prognosis. However, no effective treatment for interstitial pneumonia associated with POIKTMP has been reported. Here, we report an autopsy case of POIKTMP, wherein interstitial pneumonia was improved by corticosteroids.
Case Presentation: A 44-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital due to poikiloderma, hypotrichosis, and interstitial pneumonia. He developed progressive poikiloderma and muscle weakness since infancy. He also had tendon contractures, short stature, liver cirrhosis, and interstitial pneumonia. Mutation analysis of FAM111B revealed a novel and de novo heterozygous missense mutation, c.1886T > G (p(Phe629Cys)), through which we were able to diagnose the patient with POIKTMP. 3 years after the POIKTMP diagnosis, interstitial pneumonia had worsened. After 2 weeks of administrating 40 mg/day of prednisolone, his symptoms and lung shadows improved. However, he subsequently developed severe hepatic encephalopathy and eventually died of respiratory failure due to bacterial pneumonia and pulmonary edema. Autopsy revealed an unclassifiable pattern of interstitial pneumonia, as well as the presence of fibrosis and fatty degeneration in several organs, including the liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, heart, pancreas, and thyroid.
Conclusions: We report a case of POIKTMP in which interstitial pneumonia was improved by corticosteroids, suggesting that corticosteroids could be an option for the treatment of interstitial pneumonia associated with this disease. - Case of penile Bowen's disease on postoperative lymphedema associated with human papilloma virus type 52.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), An autosomal recessive disease is caused by biallelic loss-of-function mutations. However, when more than two disease-causing variants are found in a patient's gene, it is challenging to determine which two of the variants are responsible for the disease phenotype. Here, to decipher the pathogenic variants by precise haplotyping, we applied nanopore Cas9-targeted sequencing (nCATS) to three truncation COL7A1 variants detected in a patient with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (EB). The distance between the most 5' and 3' variants was approximately 19 kb at the level of genomic DNA. nCATS successfully demonstrated that the most 5' and 3' variants were located in one allele while the variant in between was located in the other allele. Interestingly, the proband's mother, who was phenotypically intact, was heterozygous for the allele that harbored the two truncation variants, which could otherwise be misinterpreted as those of typical recessive dystrophic EB. Our study highlights the usefulness of nCATS as a tool to determine haplotypes of complicated genetic cases. Haplotyping of multiple variants in a gene can determine which variant should be therapeutically targeted when nucleotide-specific gene therapy is applied. - Toxic epidermal necrolysis induced by tirabrutinib.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Revertant mosaicism (RM) is a phenomenon in which inherited mutations are spontaneously corrected in somatic cells. RM occurs in some congenital skin diseases, but genetic validation of RM in clinically revertant skin has been challenging, especially when homologous recombination (HR) is responsible for RM. Here, we introduce nanopore Cas9-targeted sequencing (nCATS) for identifying HR in clinically revertant skin. We took advantage of compound heterozygous COL7A1 mutations in a patient with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa who showed revertant skin spots. Cas9-mediated enrichment of genomic DNA (gDNA) covering the two mutation sites (>8 kb) in COL7A1 and subsequent MinION sequencing successfully detected intragenic crossover in the epidermis of the clinically revertant skin. This method enables the discernment of haplotypes of up to a few tens of kilobases of gDNA. Moreover, it is devoid of polymerase chain reaction amplification, which can technically induce recombination. We, therefore, propose that nCATS is a powerful tool for understanding complicated gene modifications, including RM. - Characteristic Linear and Zigzag Purpuric Lesions in a Patient with Long-term and Repeated Exposure to Bedbug Bites.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Cutaneous angiosarcoma (CAS) is a rare malignant tumor with a poor prognosis for which neither basic research on molecular pathomechanisms nor clinical prospective studies have progressed. A retrospective study of 28 CAS cases reported that chemoradiotherapy with taxanes was superior to conventional surgery. Since that time, chemoradiotherapy with paclitaxel (PTX + RT) has become a standard treatment. In this paper, we retrospectively investigate 21 cases of CAS that had been treated in the Department of Dermatology at Hokkaido University Hospital. Patients initially treated with PTX + RT followed by maintenance taxane chemotherapy showed better prognosis in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) (median OS, 28 months; median PFS, 12 months) compared to others (median OS, 10 months; median PFS, 5 months) (OS and PFS: p < 0.05, log-rank test). Our results are consistent with those of a previous study that suggested that PTX + RT followed by maintenance taxane chemotherapy is a better therapeutic option than other interventions, including surgery. - Super-resolution imaging detects BP180 autoantigen in immunoglobulin M pemphigoid.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid is generally caused by immunoglobulin (Ig)G autoantibodies against hemidesmosomal BP180 and/or BP230. Recently, the concept of IgM pemphigoid has been proposed. A 23-year-old Japanese woman presented with a 4-month history of severely itchy papules showing subepidermal separations with mild neutrophil infiltration. Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) revealed IgM deposits at the dermoepidermal junction, but neither IgG nor IgA deposits. Indirect immunofluorescence on 1 M NaCl-split skin demonstrated deposits on the epidermal side. The optical density (OD) value of a modified IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for full-length BP180, but not for BP180-NC16A, was increased. The patient was diagnosed with IgM pemphigoid and was treated with diphenyl sulfone at 50 mg/day without recurrence. To confirm the precise autoantigen, we tried to obtain super-resolution imaging. The deposition pattern of IgM autoantibodies seemed to be oriented parallel to that of BP180. The detailed images detect DIF deposits apart from BP180-NC16A staining, but are close to type VII collagen-NC1 staining. This result suggests that the IgM autoantibodies in the patient might target the C-terminus of BP180. IgM pemphigoid is still not a widely accepted concept, and the clinical course remains unknown. We will carefully follow-up the patient. Super-resolution images may help to detect precise autoantigens in autoimmune blistering diseases. - IgA nephropathy preceded by erythroderma with eosinophilia.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare adnexal neoplasm commonly seen in the genital areas among the senior population. The prognosis of advanced EMPD is not favorable; thus, the development of potential treatments has long been sought. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors such as abemaciclib and palbociclib have been proven effective against metastatic breast cancer; however, no studies have addressed CDK4/6 inhibitors as an EMPD treatment. We herein examine the efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitors against an EMPD patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model. Abemaciclib (50 mg/kg/day) or palbociclib (120 mg/kg/day) was given orally to tumor-bearing NOD/Scid mice over a 3-week period. We also investigated the protein expression levels of CDK4/6 and cyclin D1 through immunohistochemical staining using EMPD clinical samples. Treatment with abemaciclib or palbociclib as a single agent was found to significantly suppress tumor growth in EMPD-PDX. The Ki-67-positive ratio of the treated EMPD-PDX tumors was significantly lower than that of the nontreated tumors. Clinically, the expression levels of CDK4 and cyclin D1 were significantly higher in the EMPD tumor cells than in the normal epidermis. Our results suggest that CDK4/6 inhibitors could be novel and potent therapeutics for the treatment of EMPD. - IgA nephropathy preceded by erythroderma with eosinophilia.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), An estimated 20-25% of the population is affected by chronic, non-communicable inflammatory skin diseases. Chronic skin inflammation has many causes. Among the most frequent chronic inflammatory skin diseases are atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, urticaria, lichen planus, and hidradenitis suppurativa, driven by a complex interplay of genetics and environmental factors. Autoimmunity is another important cause of chronic skin inflammation. The autoimmune response may be mainly T cell driven, such as in alopecia areata or vitiligo, or B cell driven in chronic spontaneous urticaria, pemphigus and pemphigoid diseases. Rare causes of chronic skin inflammation are autoinflammatory diseases, or rheumatic diseases, such as cutaneous lupus erythematosus or dermatomyositis. Whilst we have seen a significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment, several challenges remain. Especially for rarer causes of chronic skin inflammation, early diagnosis is often missed because of low awareness and lack of diagnostics. Systemic immunosuppression is the treatment of choice for almost all of these diseases. Adverse events due to immunosuppression, insufficient therapeutic responses and relapses remain a challenge. For atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, a broad spectrum of innovative treatments has been developed. However, treatment responses cannot be predicted so far. Hence, development of (bio)markers allowing selection of specific medications for individual patients is needed. Given the encouraging developments during the past years, we envision that many of these challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic inflammatory skin diseases will be thoroughly addressed in the future. - The relevance of complement in pemphigoid diseases: A critical appraisal.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Pemphigoid diseases are autoimmune chronic inflammatory skin diseases, which are characterized by blistering of the skin and/or mucous membranes, and circulating and tissue-bound autoantibodies. The well-established pathomechanisms comprise autoantibodies targeting various structural proteins located at the dermal-epidermal junction, leading to complement factor binding and activation. Several effector cells are thus attracted and activated, which in turn inflict characteristic tissue damage and subepidermal blistering. Moreover, the detection of linear complement deposits in the skin is a diagnostic hallmark of all pemphigoid diseases. However, recent studies showed that blistering might also occur independently of complement. This review reassesses the importance of complement in pemphigoid diseases based on current research by contrasting and contextualizing data from in vitro, murine and human studies. - Case report: Difference in outcomes between two cases of Hailey-Hailey disease treated with apremilast.

英語, Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare autosomal dominant acantholytic dermatosis clinically characterized by recurrent erythematous plaques and erosions mainly on the intertriginous regions. Although HHD seriously affects quality of life, conventional treatments often fail to provide long-term relief for most patients. The effectiveness of apremilast, a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, against severe HHD was first reported in 2018, and after further testing, this agent is currently expected to be established as an efficacious and safe therapeutic option. Here we report two cases of HHD treated with apremilast which showed opposite outcomes. Although the case with extremely severe symptoms showed remarkable and long-lasting improvement with apremilast used after acute treatment with oral corticosteroid, the other case, with milder symptoms treated only with apremilast, showed no improvement. Our transcriptome analysis using skin samples collected prior to apremilast administration revealed the involvement of the NF-κB signaling pathway, which is related to the responses to bacteria and other organisms. However, this pathway was more strongly activated in case 2 than in case 1, suggesting that the steroid treatment preceding apremilast may have been effective and supportive in the apremilast-responding case. One of the two cases highlights the potential of apremilast as a treatment option for HHD, but the other underlines the difficulties in managing HHD and the complexity of the disease background. The accumulation of cases and larger clinical studies are expected to precisely evaluate the safety and efficacy of apremilast, and the potential for therapies in combination with conventional treatments. - Case of hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer showing multiple cutaneous leiomyomas harboring a recurrent nonsense mutation in the fumarate hydratase gene.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease. Although the pathomechanism of BP onset has yet to be elucidated in detail, BP autoantibodies targeting two hemidesmosomal components, BP180 and BP230, are known to play a pivotal role in BP pathogenesis. Thus, the detection and measurement of BP autoantibodies are necessary for diagnosing BP and monitoring the disease activity. Immune assays such as immunofluorescence microscopy, immunoblotting, and ELISAs using BP180 and BP230 detect BP autoantibodies in most BP cases with high specificity; however, BP autoantibodies are sometimes detected in BP patients before the onset of this disease. BP autoantibodies that are detected in patients without typical tense blisters are defined as "preclinical BP autoantibodies". These preclinical BP autoantibodies are detected even in a low percentage of normal healthy individuals. Although the importance of preclinical BP autoantibodies remains elusive, these autoantibodies might be a potential risk factor for subsequent BP development. Therefore, previous comparative epidemiological studies have focused on the prevalence of preclinical BP autoantibodies in populations susceptible to BP (e.g., the elderly) or in diseases with a higher risk of comorbid BP. This mini-review summarizes the literature on the prevalence of preclinical BP autoantibodies in patients with various conditions and diseases, and we discuss the significance of preclinical BP autoantibody detection. - IgA nephropathy preceded by erythroderma with eosinophilia.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs) are skin disorders which are mainly induced by autoantibodies against desmosomal or hemidesmosomal structural proteins. Previous studies using patients' samples and animal disease models identified target antigens and elucidated the mechanisms of blister formation. Pemphigus has been the subject of more active clinical and basic research than any other AIBD. These efforts have revealed the pathogenesis of pemphigus, which in turn has led to optimal diagnostic methods and novel therapies, such as rituximab. In bullous pemphigoid (BP), studies with passive-transfer mouse models using rabbit anti-mouse BP180 antibodies and studies with passive-transfer or active mouse models using autoantigen-humanized mice elucidated the immune reactions to BP180 in vivo. Recently, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors have attracted attention as a trigger for BP. For epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA), investigations using mouse models are actively under way and several molecules have been identified as targets for novel therapies. In this review, we give an overview and discussion of the recent progress in our understanding of the pathogenesis of pemphigus, BP, and EBA. Further studies on the breakdown of self-tolerance and on the identification of key molecules that are relevant to blister formation may expand our understanding of the etiology of AIBDs and lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies. - Development of Verruca Plana from Human Papillomavirus 78 Dependent on Host Immune State.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUNDS: FAM83H is essential for amelogenesis, but recent reports implicate that FAM83H is involved in the tumorigenesis. We previously clarified that TRIM29 binds to FAM83H to regulate keratin distribution and squamous cell migration. However, little is known about FAM83H in normal/malignant skin keratinocytes. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of FAM83H in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and its physiological function. METHODS: Immunohistochemical analysis and RT-PCR of human SCC tissues were performed. Next, we examined the effect of FAM83H knockdown/overexpression in SCC cell lines using cell proliferation, migration, and invasion assay. To investigate the molecular mechanism, immunoprecipitation of FAM83H was examined. Further, Immunofluorescence staining was performed. Finally, we examined the correlation between the expressions of FAM83H and the keratin distribution. RESULTS: FAM83H expression was lower in SCC lesions than in normal epidermis and correlated with differentiation grade. The mRNA expression levels of FAM83H in SCC tumors were also lower than in normal epidermis. The knockdown of FAM83H enhanced SCC cell migration and invasion, whereas the overexpression of FAM83H led to decreases in both. Furthermore, the knockdown of FAM83H enhanced the cancer cell metastasis in vivo. FAM83H formed a complex with TRIM29 and keratins. The knockdown of FAM83H altered keratin distribution and solubility. Clinically, the loss of FAM83H correlates with an altered keratin distribution. CONCLUSION: Our findings reveal a critical function for FAM83H in regulating keratin distribution, as well as in the migration/invasion of cutaneous SCC, suggesting that FAM83H could be a crucial molecule in the tumorigenesis of cutaneous SCC. - Hidradenitis suppurativa successfully treated with two-stage surgery under disease control with adalimumab.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Psoriasis, an immune-mediated inflammatory disease, is characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-23, and IL-17A play critical roles in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. IL-17A secreted by T-helper 17 acts more directly against keratinocytes than TNF-α or IL-23 do. Regarding the receptors of cytokines, fibroblasts also express receptors against IL-17A and TNF-α, and induce the production of growth factors. Epiregulin (EREG), an epidermal growth factor receptor ligand, is produced by both keratinocytes and fibroblasts. EREG enhances keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. We hypothesized that fibroblasts stimulated with IL-17A and/or TNF-α may play a role in epidermal hyperproliferation through the production of epidermal growth factors in psoriasis. The mRNA expression of EREG was found to be significantly upregulated by co-stimulation with IL-17A and TNF-α (mean, 49.2-fold). Furthermore, the stimulation with TNF-α alone, but not IL-17A alone, induced significant increases. Immunofluorescent staining demonstrated that the protein expression level of EREG was also increased in fibroblasts stimulated with these cytokines. Stimulation with EREG significantly enhanced keratinocyte proliferation in vitro. In human psoriatic patients' skin, immunofluorescence staining of EREG showed significantly high intensity in the dermis of lesional skin. In conclusion, cytokine stimulation with TNF-α and IL-17A induces the overexpression of EREG from dermal fibroblasts in the lesional skin of psoriasis, and plays a role in epidermal hyperproliferation. - X連鎖無γグロブリン血症患者に発症した多剤耐性Campylobacter jejuniによる蜂窩織炎の1例

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: The treatment of pemphigus is based on systemic corticosteroid use and adjuvant therapies, but some patients are resistant to conventional therapy. Tirabrutinib is a highly selective oral Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor that may be clinically effective in treating pemphigus by suppressing B-cell signaling. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the efficacy and safety of tirabrutinib in patients with refractory pemphigus. METHODS: This was a multicenter, open-label, single-arm phase 2 study of Japanese patients with refractory pemphigus receiving appropriate treatment with an oral corticosteroid and adjuvant therapies. Patients received postprandial oral tirabrutinib 80 mg once daily for 52 weeks. After 16 weeks of tirabrutinib treatment, the corticosteroid dose was tapered to ≤10 mg/day of prednisolone equivalent. RESULTS: In total, 16 patients were evaluated (mean age, 52.5 years; 50 % male). The complete remission rate after 24 weeks of treatment (primary endpoint) was 18.8 % (3/16; 95 % confidence interval, 6.6 %-43.0 %). By Week 52, eight patients (50.0 %) achieved complete remission and 10 patients (62.5 %) achieved remission. Over 52 weeks of treatment, the mean prednisolone dose decreased from 17.03 to 7.65 mg/day. Incidences of adverse events (AEs) and adverse drug reactions were 87.5 % and 43.8 %, respectively. A relationship with tirabrutinib was ruled out for all serious AEs and Grade ≥3 AEs. CONCLUSION: Treatment with tirabrutinib enabled remission and reduced oral corticosteroid exposure over time and did not result in any major safety concerns in patients with refractory pemphigus. Thus, oral tirabrutinib may be a new treatment option for patients with refractory pemphigus. - Hair follicle stem cell progeny heal blisters while pausing skin development.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Injury in adult tissue generally reactivates developmental programs to foster regeneration, but it is not known whether this paradigm applies to growing tissue. Here, by employing blisters, we show that epidermal wounds heal at the expense of skin development. The regenerated epidermis suppresses the expression of tissue morphogenesis genes accompanied by delayed hair follicle (HF) growth. Lineage tracing experiments, cell proliferation dynamics, and mathematical modeling reveal that the progeny of HF junctional zone stem cells, which undergo a morphological transformation, repair the blisters while not promoting HF development. In contrast, the contribution of interfollicular stem cell progeny to blister healing is small. These findings demonstrate that HF development can be sacrificed for the sake of epidermal wound regeneration. Our study elucidates the key cellular mechanism of wound healing in skin blistering diseases. - Dermoscopic features of sebaceous carcinoma of the nipple.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) varies in severity and stratified treatments are needed. However, there are no definitive standards for choosing appropriate treatments. To elucidate the factors involved in choosing treatments and the clinical outcomes of BP, we retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 78 BP patients at a single center. Of the 78 patients, 49 (62.8%) were treated with oral prednisolone (PSL) and 29 (37.2%) were treated without PSL. The patients with older age, lower Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index (BPDAI), and/or lower anti-BP180NC16a antibody titer at onset tended to be treated without oral PSL. Notably, only 9.1% patients without PSL experienced relapse, whereas 36.7% patients with oral PSL experienced relapse when the PSL was around 0.1 mg/kg. It suggests that the patients with mild disease severity could be well controlled without oral PSL. Receiver-operator curve analysis demonstrated that the cut-off value for the use of oral PSL was 31 for total BPDAI and was 7 for BPDAI skin urticaria/erythema, with a high (>0.9) area under the curve. Notably, none of the patients who were negative for the anti-BP180NC16a antibody at onset experienced relapse even though they were treated without PSL. In conclusion, in BP patients who were negative for anti-BP180NC16a antibody at onset, with a total BPDAI score of less than 31 or with an urticaria/erythema score of less than 7 can be treated without PSL. When the PSL is tapered to around 0.1 mg/kg, we should carefully monitor the patients to detect relapse. - A case of mucous membrane pemphigoid with anti-BP230 autoantibodies alone.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins play important roles in a wide range of cell physiological processes, such as signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, innate immunity, and programmed cell death. TRIM29 protein, encoded by the ATDC gene, belongs to the RING-less group of TRIM protein family members. It consists of four zinc finger motifs in a B-box domain and a coiled-coil domain, and makes use of the B-box domain as E3 ubiquitin ligase in place of the RING. TRIM29 was found to be involved in the formation of homodimers and heterodimers in relation to DNA binding; additional studies have also demonstrated its role in carcinogenesis, DNA damage signaling, and the suppression of radiosensitivity. Recently, we reported that TRIM29 interacts with keratins and FAM83H to regulate keratin distribution. Further, in cutaneous SCC, the expression of TRIM29 is silenced by DNA methylation, leading to the loss of TRIM29 and promotion of keratinocyte migration. This paper reviews the role of TRIM family proteins in malignant tumors, especially the role of TRIM29 in cutaneous SCC. - Bullous pemphigoid associated with psoriasis showing marked neutrophilic infiltrates.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: Regulatory T (Treg) cells play an essential role in peripheral immune tolerance. Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common blistering disease and is caused by autoantibodies to two BP antigens: type XVII collagen and BP230. Recently, we reported that Treg cell dysfunction may cause the production of autoantibodies to BP antigens. Several studies have suggested an association between Treg cells and BP pathogenesis. However, Treg cells are heterogeneous in humans, leading to inconsistent results in previous studies. OBJECTIVE: To assess functional Treg subsets in BP. METHODS: We examined three distinct Treg subsets in conventional BP (cBP) patients before versus after systemic corticosteroid treatment, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor-associated BP (DPP-4i-BP) patients, younger controls and older controls. RESULTS: We found that total Treg cells and all Treg cell subsets were increased in cBP patients before treatment and decreased by systemic corticosteroid treatment. In contrast, neither total Treg cells nor all Treg subsets were increased in DPP-4i-BP. Notably, CD45RA- Foxp3hi effector Treg cells positively correlated with disease severity in cBP, whereas CD45RA+Foxp3lo naïve Treg cells positively correlated with the disease severity in DPP-4i-BP. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that Treg cells are differently involved in the pathogeneses of cBP and DPP-4i-BP. - Case of bullous erythema ab igne mimicking localized bullous pemphigoid.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A long-term immunosuppressive treatment can provoke latent infections. Autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBD) are mostly treated with systemic immunosuppressive agents. To prevent the reactivation or exacerbation of existing latent infections, patients must be screened for infectious diseases before immunosuppressive treatments are initiated. However, the prevalence of infectious diseases in AIBD remains to be elucidated. To evaluate the necessity of screening infectious diseases in AIBD, we retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 215 patients at a single center with AIBD for hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Treponema pallidum, human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and HIV infections. Approximately 40% of patients were infected with HBV. During systemic corticosteroid treatment, HBV DNA became positive in 3.4% of cases. Antibodies to HCV, interferon-γ release assays for M. tuberculosis and the T. pallidum latex agglutination test were positive in 0.6%, 6.6% and 1.2% cases, respectively. Neither HTLV-1 nor HIV infections were detected. In conclusion, checks for HBV and M. tuberculosis infections should be made before immunosuppressive treatments are started, because of the high prevalence of these potentially life-threatening infections. Other infections should be tested for depending on the patient's risk factors. - Rosai-Dorfman disease: earlier spontaneous regression of skin lesions relative to nasal, pharyngeal, and bone lesions.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: Localized bullous pemphigoid is a relatively rare variant of bullous pemphigoid. Lesions develop only in localized sites including the legs or palms and soles and occasionally appear in trauma-affected body parts. In some cases, the skin lesions spread to the entire body, while in others, they remain localized and improve spontaneously or with treatment using topical corticosteroids. Rarely, the lesions recur at sites different from those of the original lesions, after the initial lesions have completely healed. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical course of patients with localized bullous pemphigoid. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two cases of localized bullous pemphigoid that recurred at sites distant from those of the initial lesions were reported. RESULTS: Case 1 involved a 62-year-old woman with mucous membrane pemphigoid. One year after the improvement of mucosal symptoms, new lesions appeared in the periumbilical area. The lesions resolved after topical corticosteroid treatment. This case is the first report of localized bullous pemphigoid occurring after an improvement of mucous membrane pemphigoid. Case 2 involved an 81-year-old man who bruised his right lower leg and developed erythematous plaques and tense bullae. The patient was diagnosed with localized bullous pemphigoid and was treated with topical corticosteroid. However, six months later, new lesions appeared on the palms and soles. The patient responded well to oral prednisolone. CONCLUSIONS: Since localized bullous pemphigoid may have a variable clinical course, clinicians should observe affected patients carefully over a long period of time. - A case of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita with ocular involvement

日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A 58-year-old man had developed erythema and tense bullae on his trunk and extremities along with symptoms on his ocular and oral mucosa 2 weeks before his first visit to Yamaguchi University Hospital. Direct immunofluorescence using a biopsy specimen from the erythema on the trunk showed linear deposition of IgG, IgA, and C3 along the dermal-epidermal junction(DEJ). Indirect immunofluorescence of the patient's serum showed linear deposition of IgG along the dermal side of the DEJ on 1M NaCl-split skin of a normal control individual. Furthermore, western blot analysis demonstrated that IgG in the patient's serum reacted with a 290 kDa-protein in the dermal extracts from a control individual that corresponded to the molecular weight of collagen Ⅶ(COL7). Based on these findings, we diagnosed the patient with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita(EBA). We initially treated him with oral prednisolone and azathioprine. However, the disease activity was not completely suppressed. We additionally administered intravenous immunoglobulin and cyclophosphamide pulse therapies
thereafter, the symptoms gradually reduced. EBA with ocular involvement is rare, and in this case, we suggest that IgAtype autoantibodies likely played a role in the pathogenesis in addition to IgG-type autoantibodies against COL7. - Japanese guidelines for the management of pemphigoid (including epidermolysis bullosa acquisita).

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The pemphigoid group is a category of autoimmune subepidermal blistering diseases in which autoantibodies deposit linearly at the epidermal basement membrane zone (BMZ). The main subtypes of pemphigoid mediated by immunoglobulin G autoantibodies are bullous pemphigoid (BP), mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA). To establish the first guidelines approved by the Japanese Dermatological Association for the management of pemphigoid diseases, the Committee for Guidelines for the Management of Pemphigoid Diseases (Including EBA) was founded as part of the Study Group for Rare Intractable Skin Diseases under the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Research Project on Overcoming Intractable Diseases. These guidelines aim to provide current information for the management of BP, MMP and EBA in Japan. Based on evidence, the guidelines summarize the clinical and immunological manifestations, pathophysiologies, diagnostic criteria, disease severity determination criteria, treatment algorithms and treatment recommendations. Because of the rarity of these diseases, there are few clinical studies with a high degree of evidence, so several parts of these guidelines were established based on the opinions of the Committee. To further optimize these guidelines, periodic revision in line with the new evidence is necessary. - [Not Available].

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: More than half of patients with pemphigus experience relapse during the disease course. The risk factors and clinical and immunological characteristics of relapse remain largely unclear. OBJECTIVES: To elucidate the risk factors and clinical features of pemphigus relapse. METHODS: We carried out a retrospective review of the clinical records of 42 cases of pemphigus at a single centre. RESULTS: Sixty-two per cent of patients experienced relapse, usually when oral prednisolone was tapered to around 0·1 mg kg-1 . In mucocutaneous pemphigus vulgaris (mcPV), the initial doses (mean ± SD) of prednisolone were significantly lower in patients with relapse (0·78 ± 0·24 mg kg-1 ) than in those without relapse (1·01 ± 0·01 mg kg-1 ). At relapse, mcPV shifted to mucosal dominant PV (mPV; 40%), pemphigus foliaceus (PF) (20%) or 'other' (20%). In contrast, relapsing mPV and PF had the same clinical phenotypes as the initial phenotypes. Patients with both anti-desmoglein (Dsg)1 and anti-Dsg3 antibodies at onset had recurrence with anti-Dsg3 antibodies alone (40%), with both anti-Dsg1 and anti-Dsg3 antibodies (30%), with anti-Dsg1 antibody alone (20%) or were subthreshold (10%). CONCLUSIONS: mcPV shows transitions in clinical phenotype and autoantibody profile at relapse. At least 1 mg kg-1 daily of prednisolone, especially for patients with mcPV, and prudent tapering around 0·1 mg kg-1 may lead to better outcomes. - Case of autoimmune intraepidermal and subepidermal blistering disease in which autoantibodies to desmoglein 1 and BP230 coexist.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Background: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune blistering disease. BP180 is the primary autoantigen of BP, and in a portion of BP cases, BP230 is the only target of autoantibodies. Such BP is called BP230-type BP. BP230-type BP tends to show milder clinical phenotypes than conventional BP, but the reason is unclear. The pathogenic roles of autoantibodies and complement activation have been shown in conventional BP, but the distribution of IgG subclasses and the degree of complement deposition in BP230-type BP remain unclear. Objective: To compare the distribution of IgG subclasses and the degree of complement deposition in BP230-type BP with those in conventional BP with autoantibodies to BP180 and BP230 (BP180-BP230-type BP). Methods: The diagnosis of BP was confirmed by the histopathology of the lesions, the deposition of IgG and complement in the perilesional skin and the presence of circulating autoantibodies to BP180 and BP230. The disease severity was determined by bullous pemphigoid disease area index. The deposition of IgG subclasses and complement deposition were examined by direct immunofluorescence of the perilesional skin in 6 BP230-type BP cases and 11 BP180-BP230-type BP cases. Results: Sixty seven percent of BP230-type BP cases show a mild clinical phenotype. All BP230-type BP cases and 82% of BP180-BP230-type BP cases were found to demonstrate the clear deposition of IgG4 at the basement membrane zone of skin specimens. Notably, the deposition of IgG1 and IgG3 was faint or negative in all of the BP230-type BP cases, whereas they were clearly detected in 91% and 64% of the BP180-BP230-type BP cases, respectively. The deposition of complement C3 tended to be weaker in BP230-type BP than in BP180-BP230-type BP. Conclusion: The mild clinical phenotype of BP230-type BP may correlate with the weaker deposition of IgG1, IgG3 and complement in the skin lesions. - Fc-binding proteins enhance autoantibody-induced BP180 depletion in pemphigoid.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Immunoglobulins (Igs) consist of two antigen-binding regions (Fab) and one constant region (Fc). Protein A and protein G are bacterial proteins used for the purification of IgG by virtue of their high affinities for the Fc fragment. Rheumatoid factors are autoantibodies against IgG Fc fragments, which are present in the body under physiological conditions. Little is known about the influence of Fc-binding proteins on the pathogenicity of antibody-induced autoimmune diseases. Pemphigoid diseases are a group of autoimmune subepidermal blistering disorders that includes bullous pemphigoid and mucous membrane pemphigoid. IgGs targeting the non-collagenous NC16A domain of the 180-kDa bullous pemphigoid antigen (BP180) are known to induce skin fragility in mice and the depletion of BP180 in keratinocytes. In this study, mAb against NC16A in combination with Fc-binding proteins was found to enhance BP180 depletion. Although mAb against the C-terminus of BP180 does not show pathogenicity in vivo or in vitro, mAb treatment with Fc-binding proteins clearly induced skin fragility in mice and BP180 depletion in keratinocytes. Anti-BP180 mAbs and Fc-binding proteins were colocalized in the cytoplasm and at the basement membrane zone. Cell adhesion strengths were decreased in parallel with BP180 amounts. Clinically, bullous pemphigoid patients had higher rheumatoid factor titers than controls. Anti-BP180 mAb in combination with high-titer rheumatoid factor serum was found to enhance BP180 depletion. Furthermore, saliva from mucous membrane pemphigoid patients contained larger quantities of bacteria and Fc-binding proteins than controls. Our results suggest that Fc-binding proteins (rheumatoid factor or protein G) may enhance the pathogenicity of autoantibodies in pemphigoid diseases.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system induces site-specific double-strand breaks, which stimulate cellular DNA repair through either the homologous recombination or non-homologous end-joining pathways. The non-homologous end-joining pathway, which is activated more frequently than homologous recombination, is prone to introducing small insertions and/or deletions at the double-strand break site, leading to changes in the reading frame. We hypothesized that the non-homologous end-joining pathway is applicable to genetic diseases caused by a frameshift mutation through restoration of the reading frame. Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a hereditary skin disorder caused by mutations in COL7A1. In this study, we applied gene reframing therapy to a recurrent frameshift mutation, c.5819delC, in COL7A1, which results in a premature termination codon. CRISPR/Cas9 targeting this specific mutation site was delivered to recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa patient fibroblasts. After genotyping a large collection of gene-edited fibroblast clones, we identified a significant number (17/50) of clones in which the frameshift in COL7A1 was restored. The reframed COL7 was functional, as shown by triple-helix formation assay in vitro, and was correctly distributed in the basement membrane zone in mice. Our data suggest that mutation site-specific non-homologous end-joining might be a highly efficient gene therapy for inherited disorders caused by frameshift mutations. - The direct binding of collagen XVII and collagen IV is disrupted by pemphigoid autoantibodies.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The basement membrane zone (BMZ) is framed by hemidesmosomes and extracellular matrix (ECM) including collagen IV (COL4). Hemidesmosomes are multiprotein complexes that include collagen XVII (COL17). BMZ proteins can be targeted in autoimmune subepidermal blistering diseases, e.g., pemphigoid targeting COL17. The blistering mechanisms in pemphigoid have not been fully elucidated, especially in mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP), which mainly affects the mucosa. In this study, we showed that oral lesions in pemphigoid may be attributed to the inhibition of protein-protein interactions by autoantibodies. Using immunoprecipitation, we revealed that COL17 directly binds to COL4 in normal human keratinocytes and normal human oral keratinocytes. In particular, the C-terminus of COL17 is binding site to COL4 in oral keratinocytes. The precise COL4-binding region on COL17 was determined by protein-protein binding assay to be from amino acid Gly1175 to Asp1340 on the C-terminus. MMP-IgG or mAb recognizing the C-terminus hindered the interaction of COL17 with COL4 in oral keratinocytes. Furthermore, keratinocyte adhesion strength to COL4-coated plates was significantly reduced by the treatment of mAb against the C-terminus. In addition, the inflammatory infiltrates around perilesions were significantly less in MMP compared to BP. These results indicate that pemphigoid IgG targeting the C-terminus plays a pathogenic role in blister formation in the oral mucosa to inhibit protein interactions with less inflammation. - Immune Reaction to Type XVII Collagen Induces Intramolecular and Intermolecular Epitope Spreading in Experimental Bullous Pemphigoid Models.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP), the most common autoimmune blistering disease, is induced by autoantibodies to type XVII collagen (COL17). Previous studies demonstrated that COL17 harbors several epitopes targeted by autoreactive T and B cells and that the target epitopes change sequentially during the disease course. To elucidate the details of the humoral immune response to COL17, we used an active BP mouse model in which BP is induced by the adoptive transfer of spleen cells from wild-type mice immunized with human COL17-expressing skin grafting to immunodeficient COL17-humanized (Rag-2-/-, mouse Col17-/-, human COL17+) mice. By immunoblot analysis, antibodies to the NC16A domain and other extracellular domains (ECDs) of COL17 were detected earlier than antibodies to intracellular domains (ICDs) in the active BP model. Time course analysis by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay demonstrated a delayed peak of antibodies to ICD epitopes in active BP model. The blockade of CD40-CD40 ligand interaction soon after the adoptive transfer suppressed the production of antibodies to the non-collagenous 16A (NC16A) domain but not to an ICD epitope, suggesting the sequential activation from T and B cells against the ECD epitopes including the NC16A domain to those against ICD epitopes in vivo. Both wild-type mice immunized with a fragment of the NC16A domain and the recipients of those spleen cells produced IgG antibodies to ICD and ECD epitopes, showing intramolecular epitope spreading from the NC16A domain to other epitopes of COL17. Furthermore, we found that a portion of the active BP model mice show intermolecular epitope spreading from human COL17 to murine BP230. The appearance of antibodies to ICD epitopes of COL17 or of antibodies to murine BP230 did not correlate with the skin changes in the mice, suggesting that those antibodies have low pathogenicity. These results suggest that the immune response to the ECD epitopes of COL17, especially to the NC16A domain, triggers intramolecular, and intermolecular epitope spreading to ICD epitopes of COL17 and to murine BP230. These novel findings provide insight into the mechanism of epitope spreading in organ-specific, antibody-mediated autoimmune disorders. - Autoantibodies undetectable by chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay require extended antigen-antibody reaction time for detection

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: Regulatory T (Treg) cells play a crucial role in peripheral immune tolerance in multiple organs, including the skin. Thus far, the effect of peripheral immune tolerance failure on autoantibody-related autoimmune reactions to the skin is unclear. OBJECTIVE: We sought to elucidate the target autoantigens in the skin under the condition of Treg cell dysfunction caused by forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) gene mutations in scurfy mice and patients with immunodysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome. METHODS: Sera and skin from scurfy mice and sera from patients with IPEX syndrome were analyzed to detect target autoantigens by using immunofluorescence studies, ELISAs, and immunoblotting. The pathogenicity of scurfy IgG was examined by using a passive transfer experiment. CD4+ T cells from scurfy mice were transferred to immunodeficient mice to examine their pathogenicity. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (Stat6)-/- scurfy mice were analyzed to further clarify the molecular pathway of autoantibody production. Follicular helper T-cell counts are measured in Stat6-/- scurfy mice and scurfy mice. RESULTS: Scurfy mice spontaneously generated IgG autoantibodies to the dermal-epidermal junction, which had been class-switched from IgM within 12 days after birth. The target autoantigens were murine BP230 and type XVII collagen (COL17). The scurfy polyclonal autoantibodies did not induce skin fragility in neonatal mice. Autoantibody production was induced by CD4+ T cells from scurfy mice and was ameliorated by Stat6 gene knockout in association with a decrease of follicular helper T cells. We also identified autoantibodies to COL17 and BP230 in patients with IPEX syndrome and found an association between production of autoantibodies to COL17 and an eczematous skin phenotype. CONCLUSIONS: Dysregulation of Treg cells generates autoantibodies to COL17 and BP230 in vivo. - The identification of autoantigens in mucous membrane pemphigoid using immortalized oral mucosal keratinocytes.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a rare chronic autoimmune subepithelial blistering disorder, targeting multiple basement membrane zone (BMZ) proteins including collagen XVII (COL17). Circulating autoantibodies of MMP are often undetected due to their lower titers. The oral mucosa is a valuable substrate for the detection of autoantibodies in MMP patients. However, obtaining normal human oral mucosa is more difficult than obtaining normal human skin. We established immortalized normal human oral mucosal keratinocytes (OMKs) and performed immunoblotting using immortalized OMK lysate for detecting autoantigens in MMP. METHODS: Immortalized OMKs were generated from primary OMKs using E6/E7 proteins of HPV. We compared the protein expression levels of major BMZ proteins between primary OMKs and immortalized OMKs. We performed immunoblotting to detect autoantigens using cell lysates from immortalized OMKs in 30 MMP patients. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between primary OMKs and immortalized OMKs in terms of protein expression levels of the BMZ proteins, including COL17, laminin 332, integrin α6/β4, collagen VII, and collagen IV. Cell lysates of immortalized OMKs effectively identified MMP autoantigens in 60% (18/30) of MMP sera. We found an interesting case of MMP whose autoantibodies preferentially reacted to the 120-kD protein that is an ectodomain of COL17. CONCLUSION: We demonstrated that a cell lysate of immortalized OMKs is a reliable substrate for the detection of MMP autoantigens. This newly developed immunoblotting analysis method promises to contribute to the diagnosis of MMP. - Detection of anti-BP180 NC16A autoantibodies after the onset of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitor-associated bullous pemphigoid: a report of three patients.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The basement membrane zone consists of multiple components, including collagen XVII (COL17), which is the target of bullous pemphigoid. To our knowledge, no research has addressed the differences in basement membrane zone components between the skin and oral mucosa; therefore, we investigated the basement membrane zone proteins, with a focus on COL17. The mRNA and protein expression levels of COL17 were significantly higher in oral keratinocytes than in skin keratinocytes. Hemidesmosomal COL17 expression was markedly higher in oral keratinocytes than in skin keratinocytes, and its level was associated with adhesion strength. Oral keratinocytes adhered to the extracellular matrix more tightly than did skin keratinocytes in vitro. Based on these results, we attempt to explain the clinical diversity of bullous pemphigoid. COL17 depletion was more prominent in skin keratinocytes than in oral keratinocytes after treatment with COL17-NC16A mAbs, which have in vivo pathogenicity. COL17 C-terminus mAbs, which are not pathogenic, facilitated COL17 depletion in combination treatment with COL17-NC16A mAbs in both types of keratinocytes. In summary, the greater amount of COL17 in oral keratinocytes than in skin keratinocytes is associated with the higher strength of oral keratinocyte hemidesmosomal adhesion at the basement membrane zone. Our results may explain why bullous pemphigoid blistering tends to be more prevalent in the skin than in the oral mucosa. - HLA-DQB1*03:01は非炎症型DPP-4阻害薬関連水疱性類天疱瘡のバイオマーカーである

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by autoantibodies to COL17. Currently, systemic corticosteroids are used as first-line treatments for BP; alternatively, intravenous administration of high-dose IgG (IVIG) has been shown to be effective for patients with steroid-resistant BP in clinical practice. However, the effect of IVIG on BP has not fully been investigated. To examine the effects and mechanisms of action of IVIG against BP, we performed IVIG experiments using two experimental BP mouse models. One is a passive-transfer BP model that reproduces subepidermal separation in neonatal mice by the passive transfer of IgGs against COL17, such as polyclonal or monoclonal mouse IgG or IgG from BP patients. The other is an active BP model that continuously develops a disease phenotype in adult mice. IVIG decreased pathogenic IgG and the disease scores in both models. Injected IVIG distributed throughout the dermis and the intercellular space of the lower epidermis. Notably, IVIG inhibited the increase of IL-6 in both models, possibly by suppressing the production of IL-6 by keratinocytes. These results suggest that the inhibitory effects of IVIG on BP are associated with the reduction of pathogenic IgG and the modulation of cytokine production. - Case of anti-p200 pemphigoid accompanying uterine malignancy.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), CD4+ Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are suppressors of immune activation and play a crucial role in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance. Mutations of Foxp3 result in fatal autoimmunity in multiple organs, including the skin, in both humans and mice. Many studies have demonstrated the altered frequency and functions of Tregs, changes in cytokine and chemokine levels related to Tregs and the differences in genetic background regarding Tregs in autoimmune skin disorders. Recent studies have extended our knowledge of certain properties of Tregs, especially skin-resident Tregs. In addition, some novel therapies have been performed by modulating the number and the function of Tregs. This review focuses on the role of Tregs in some autoimmune skin disorders, including alopecia areata, vitiligo, pemphigoid and pemphigus, and systemic sclerosis, and discusses questions that remain to be addressed. - Six-month history of a split thumbnail: A quiz

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: Several European countries recently developed international diagnostic and management guidelines for pemphigus, which have been instrumental in the standardization of pemphigus management. OBJECTIVE: We now present results from a subsequent Delphi consensus to broaden the generalizability of the recommendations. METHODS: A preliminary survey, based on the European Dermatology Forum and the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology guidelines, was sent to a panel of international experts to determine the level of consensus. The results were discussed at the International Bullous Diseases Consensus Group in March 2016 during the annual American Academy of Dermatology conference. Following the meeting, a second survey was sent to more experts to achieve greater international consensus. RESULTS: The 39 experts participated in the first round of the Delphi survey, and 54 experts from 21 countries completed the second round. The number of statements in the survey was reduced from 175 topics in Delphi I to 24 topics in Delphi II on the basis of Delphi results and meeting discussion. LIMITATIONS: Each recommendation represents the majority opinion and therefore may not reflect all possible treatment options available. CONCLUSIONS: We present here the recommendations resulting from this Delphi process. This international consensus includes intravenous CD20 inhibitors as a first-line therapy option for moderate-to-severe pemphigus. - 落葉状天疱瘡合併悪性黒色腫に免疫チェックポイント阻害薬を投与した1例

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a rare organ-specific autoimmune subepithelial blistering disease with predominantly mucosal erosions, most frequently affecting the gingiva. Erosions in the oral cavity usually result in markedly decreased quality of life. The major autoantigens are BP180 and laminin332, which are components of basement membrane proteins in the skin and mucosa. Diagnosis is usually difficult due to histological destruction of the tissue and low autoantibody titers. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic value of direct immunofluorescence (DIF) using non-lesional buccal mucosa in seven cases of MMP. In all seven patients, gingival lesions were clinically observed, and in one of the seven patients, buccal lesions were also clinically observed. First, we performed DIF to detect tissue-bound autoantibodies and complement. DIF from non-lesional buccal mucosa revealed linear deposits of IgG and C3 at the basement membrane zone in all cases. To detect autoantibodies, indirect immunofluorescence (IIF), BP180-NC16A ELISA and immunoblotting were performed. Surprisingly, circulating autoantibodies were unable to be detected in any of the cases by ELISA, IIF, or immunoblotting. Furthermore, histological separation was observed in one patient. In conclusion, DIF using non-lesional buccal mucosa was found to be superior to histological and serological tests for diagnosing mucous membrane pemphigoid. The procedure is technically easy and has high diagnostic value. - Appearance of antidesmocollin 1 autoantibodies leading to a vegetative lesion in a patient with pemphigus vulgaris.

英語, Type XVII collagen (COL17) and the non-collagenous 16A (NC16A) domain is regarded as the major pathogenic domains for bullous pemphigoid (BP). Some patients with BP have autoantibodies against parts of COL17 outside the NC16A domain (hereinafter the non-NC16A domain) and show less inflammatory manifestations. There were no significant differences in titres and IgG subclasses between NC16A-BP and non-NC16A-BP as determined by indirect immunofluorescent microscopy. The neutrophil activation capacities determined by ROS release did not differ between NC16A-BP and non-NC16A-BP. However, NC16A-BP IgG depleted COL17 in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with NC16A-BP IgG, but not with non-NC16A-BP IgG, significantly decreased the adhesion strength. We speculate that the differences in clinical severity between NC16A-BP and non-NC16A-BP relate to the degree of COL17 depletion. - Complement-independent blistering mechanisms in bullous pemphigoid

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease that clinically demonstrates tense blisters with widespread erythema, histologically demonstrates subepidermal blistering and immunologically demonstrates the presence of circulating autoantibodies against hemidesmosomal molecules. Complement activation has long been regarded as necessary for the generation of the BP. However, certain evidence has recently come to support non-complemental blistering mechanisms. The story of BP blistering mechanisms is a complicated one. This review mainly focuses on a specific blistering mechanism that highlights the role of complements in BP blistering. - Using immune checkpoint inhibitors without exacerbation in a melanoma patient with pemphigus foliaceus

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Transmembrane collagen XVII (COL17) is a hemidesmosomal component of basal keratinocytes that can be targeted by autoantibodies in autoimmune blistering disorders, including linear IgA dermatosis (LAD). COL17 can be physiologically cleaved within the juxtamembranous extracellular NC16A domain, and LAD autoantibodies preferentially react with the processed ectodomains, indicating that the processing induces neoepitopes. However, the details of how neoepitopes develop have not been elucidated. In this study, we show that C-terminal processing of COL17 also plays a role in inducing neoepitopes for LAD autoantibodies. First, the mAb hC17-ect15 targeting the 15th collagenous domain of COL17 was produced, which showed characteristics similar to LAD autoantibodies. The mAbs preferentially reacted with C-terminally deleted (up to 682 amino acids) recombinant COL17, suggesting that C-terminal processing shows neoepitopes on the 15th collagenous domain. The LAD autoantibodies also react with C-terminal deleted COL17. Therefore, neoepitopes for LAD autoantibodies also develop after C-terminal processing. Finally, the passive transfer of the mAb hC17-ect15 into human COL17-expressing transgenic mice failed to induce blistering disease, suggesting that neoepitope-targeting antibodies are not always pathogenic. In summary, this study shows that C-terminal processing induces dynamic structural changes and neoepitopes for LAD autoantibodies on COL17. - Anti-idiotypic Antibodies against BP-IgG Prevent Type XVII Collagen Depletion

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) mainly targets type XVII collagen (COL17). Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is used to treat numerous autoimmune diseases, including BP. The major mechanism of action for IVIG is thought to be its immunomodulatory effect. However, little is known about the precise mechanisms of IVIg in BP. We investigate the cellular effects of IVIg, toward treatments for BP. Keratinocytes were treated with IgG from BP patients (BP-IgG) and with IVIg, and then the COL17 expression was detected by Western blotting. Cell adhesion and ex vivo dermal-epidermal separation were also investigated for the condition with BP-IgG and IVIg. BP-IgG targeting the non-collagenous 16A domain induces the depletion of COL17 in cultured keratinocytes (DJM-1 cells). The COL17 levels in DJM-1 cells were decreased by 50% after 4 h of BP-IgG stimulation as determined by Western blotting. By contrast, BP-IgG with IVIg was found to result in 70-90% increases in COL17 and to restore adhesion to the plate. Interestingly, IVIg significantly inhibited the binding of BP-IgG to the COL17-enzymelinked immunosorbent assay plate, and this was due to anti-idiotypic antibodies against BP-IgG. When anti-idiotypic antibodies against BP-IgG in 0.02% of IVIg were depleted from IVIg, those antibodies did not exhibit inhibitory effects on COL17 depletion. When cryosections of human skin were incubated with BP-IgG in the presence of leukocytes, dermal-epidermal separation was observed. BP-IgG treatment with IVIg or anti-idiotypic antibodies did not induce such separation. These findings strongly suggest the presence of anti-idiotypic antibodies against anti-COL17 IgG in IVIg. This mechanism of IVIg could be a target for therapies against BP. - Detection of mucous membrane pemphigoid autoantibodies by full-length BP180 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Type XVII collagen (COL17) is a transmembrane protein located at the epidermal basement membrane zone. COL17 deficiency results in premature hair aging phenotypes and in junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Here, we show that COL17 plays a central role in regulating interfollicular epidermis (IFE) proliferation. Loss of COL17 leads to transient IFE hypertrophy in neonatal mice owing to aberrant Wnt signaling. The replenishment of COL17 in the neonatal epidermis of COL17-null mice reverses the proliferative IFE phenotype and the altered Wnt signaling. Physical aging abolishes membranous COL17 in IFE basal cells because of inactive atypical protein kinase C signaling and also induces epidermal hyperproliferation. The overexpression of human COL17 in aged mouse epidermis suppresses IFE hypertrophy. These findings demonstrate that COL17 governs IFE proliferation of neonatal and aged skin in distinct ways. Our study indicates that COL17 could be an important target of anti-aging strategies in the skin. - A case of bullous pemphigoid presenting with severe oedema of the hands during recurrence

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Autoimmune blistering diseases are a heterogeneous group of about a dozen complex disorders that are characterized by intraepidermal (pemphigus) and subepidermal blistering (pemphigoid diseases and dermatitis herpetiformis). The Pathogenesis of Pemphigus and Pemphigoid Meeting, organized by the Departments of Dermatology in Lubeck and Marburg and the Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Munich, was held in September 2016 in Munich. The meeting brought together basic scientists and clinicians from all continents dedicating their work to autoimmune blistering diseases. Considerable advances have been made in describing incidences and prevalences of these diseases and linking comorbidities with autoantibody reactivities and clinical variants, for example, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitor-associated noninflammatory bullous pemphigoid. Although new entities are still being described, diagnosis of most autoimmune blistering diseases can now be achieved using standardized and widely available serological test systems. Various experimental mouse models of pemphigus and pemphigoid disease are increasingly being used to understand mechanisms of central and peripheral tolerance and to evaluate more specific treatment approaches for these disorders, such as molecules that target autoreactive T and B cells and anti-inflammatory mediators, that is, dimethyl fumarate, phosphodiesterase 4, and leukotriene B4 inhibitors in pemphigoid disorders, and chimeric antigen receptor T cells in pemphigus. Very recent experimental data about the immunopathology and the determinants of autoantibody formation and keratinocyte susceptibility in pemphigus were discussed. With regard to cellular mechanisms leading to the loss of cell-cell adhesion, new ideas were shared in the field of signal transduction. Major steps were taken to put the various partly contradictory and controversial findings about the effects of pemphigus autoantibodies and other inflammatory mediators into perspective and broaden our view of the complex pathophysiology of this disease. Finally, two investigator-initiated multicenter trials highlighted doxycycline and dapsone as valuable medications in the treatment of bullous pemphigoid. - Linear IgA Bullous Dermatosis Associated with Immunoglobulin Light-chain Amyloidosis

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Macropinocytosis is an endocytic pathway that is involved in the nonselective fluid uptake of extracellular fluid. Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease associated with autoantibodies to type XVII collagen (COL17), which is a component of hemidesmosome. When keratinocytes are treated with BP-IgG, COL17 internalizes into cells by way of the macropinocytosis. We investigated the mechanism of COL17 macropinocytosis using DJM-1 cells, a cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cell line. First, non-hemidesmosomal COL17 was preferentially depleted by stimulation with the BP-IgG in the DJM-1 cells. To investigate the signaling involved in COL17-macropinocytosis, the inhibition of small GTPase family members Rac1 and Cdc42 was found to strongly repress COL17 internalization; in addition, the Rho inhibitor also partially blocked that internalization, suggesting these small GTPases are involved in signaling to mediate COL17-macropinocytosis. Western blotting using Phostag-SDS-PAGE demonstrated high levels of COL17 phosphorylation in DJM-1 cells under steady-state condition. Treatment with BP-IgG increased the intracellular calcium level within a minute, and induced the overabundant phosphorylation of COL17. The overabundant phosphorylation of COL17 was suppressed by a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. In addition, PKC inhibitor repressed COL17 endocytosis using cell culture and organ culture systems. Finally, the depletion of COL17 was not observed in the HEK293 cells transfected COL17 without intracellular domain. These results suggest that COL17 internalization induced by BP-IgG may be mediated by a PKC pathway. In summary, BP-IgG initially binds to COL17 distributed on the plasma membrane, and COL17 may be internalized by means of a macropinocytic pathway related to the phosphorylation of the intracellular domain by PKC. - Autoantibody Profile Differentiates between Inflammatory and Noninflammatory Bullous Pemphigoid

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a major autoimmune blistering skin disorder, in which a majority of the autoantibodies (autoAbs) target the juxtamembranous extracellular noncollagenous 16A domain (NC16A) domain of hemidesmosomal collagen XVII. BP-autoAbs may target regions of collagen XVII other than the NC16A domain; however, correlations between epitopes of BP-autoAbs and clinical features have not been fully elucidated. To address correlations between the clinical features and specific epitopes of BP-autoAbs, we evaluated the epitope profiles of BP-autoAbs in 121 patients. A total of 87 patients showed a typical inflammatory phenotype with erythema and autoAbs targeting the anti-NC16A domain, whereas 14 patients showed a distinct noninflammatory phenotype, in which autoAbs specifically targeted the midportion of collagen XVII, but not NC16A. Interestingly, this group clinically showed significantly reduced erythema associated with scant lesional infiltration of eosinophils. Surprisingly, 7 of the 14 cases (50.0%) received dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors for the treatment of diabetes. Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors were used in 3 of 76 (3.9%) typical cases of BP with autoAbs targeting NC16A; thus, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors are thought to be involved in the development of atypical noninflammatory BP. This study shows that the autoAb profile differentiates between inflammatory and noninflammatory BP, and that noninflammatory BP may be associated with dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors. - Bullous pemphigoid suggestive of complement-independent blister formation with anti-BP180 IgG4 autoantibodies.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In bullous pemphigoid, the common autoimmune blistering disorder, IgG autoantibodies target various epitopes on hemidesmosomal transmembrane collagen XVII (COL17)/BP180. Antibodies (Abs) targeting the extracellular noncollagenous 16th A domain of COL17 may be pathogenic; however, the pathogenic roles of Abs targeting non-noncollagenous 16th A regions are poorly understood. In this study using a pathogenic and a nonpathogenic monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting the noncollagenous 16th A domain (mAb TS39-3) and the C-terminus domain (mAb C17-C1), respectively, we show that endocytosis of immune complexes after binding of Abs to cell surface COL17 is a key phenomenon that induces skin fragility. Passive transfer of IgG1 mouse mAb TS39-3 but not mAb C17-C1 induces dermal-epidermal separation in neonatal human COL17-expressing transgenic mice. Interestingly, mAb C17-C1 strongly binds with the dermal-epidermal junction of the recipient mice skin, suggesting that binding of Abs with COL17 is insufficient to induce skin fragility. In cultured normal human epidermal keratinocytes treated with these mAbs, mAb TS39-3 but not mAb C17-C1 internalizes immune complexes after binding with cell surface COL17 via macropinocytosis, resulting in reduced COL17 expression. This study shows that pathogenicity of Abs targeting COL17 is epitope dependent, which is associated with macropinocytosis-mediated endocytosis of immune complexes and finally results in the depletion of COL17 expression in basal keratinocytes. - γδ T Cells Protect the Liver and Lungs of Mice from Autoimmunity Induced by Scurfy Lymphocytes.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), gamma delta T cells have been shown to have immunoregulatory functions in several experimental autoimmune models. A mutation of the Foxp3 gene leads to the absence of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and a fatal systemic autoimmune disease in scurfy mice. Transfer of scurfy lymphocytes to RAG deficient (RAG(-/-)) recipients reproduces the inflammatory phenotype of the scurfy donor, including hepatitis and pneumonitis. In this study, we show that TCR alpha(-/-) recipients, which lack alpha beta T cells but have gamma delta T cells and B cells, are significantly protected from the hepatitis and pneumonitis, but not the dermatitis, induced by adoptive transfer of scurfy lymphocytes. Cotransfer of gamma delta T cells, but not B cells, prevented hepatitis and pneumonitis in RAG(-/-) recipients of scurfy lymphocytes. gamma delta T cells in the TCR alpha(-/-) recipients of scurfy cells markedly expanded and expressed a highly activated (CD62L(lo)CD44(hi)) phenotype. The activated gamma delta T cells expressed high levels of CD39 and NKG2D on their cell surface. A high frequency of scurfy T cells in TCR alpha(-/-) recipients produced IL-10, suggesting that gamma delta T cells may enhance suppressor cytokine production from scurfy T cells in TCR alpha(-/-) recipients. This study indicates that gamma delta T cells may contribute to the maintenance of immunological homeostasis by suppressing autoreactive T cells in liver and lung. - Anti-BP180-type mucous membrane pemphigoid: report of two cases

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), We describe two patients with anti-BP180-type mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP), who were correctly diagnosed and treated in early stages through the cooperation of dentists and dermatologists. Patient 1 was a 74-year-old woman who visited our dental department due to blisters over the oral mucosa and eruptions on the skin. She had also experienced bleeding of the gingiva and palate mucosa. Biopsy specimens from the oral mucosa revealed detachment of epithelial basement membrane and subepithelial lamina propria with slight chronic inflammation. Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) revealed linear IgG and IgA deposits along the basement membrane zone (BMZ). Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) using 1 M-NaCl split normal human skin showed binding of IgG and IgA on the epidermal side. On immunoblot analysis, IgG and IgA autoantibodies reacted with the C-terminal protein of BP180. These findings indicated a diagnosis of anti-BP180-type MMP. Patient 2 was a 59-year-old woman who was referred to our dental department with a history of blisters and large erosions on the gingiva. Biopsy specimens from the oral mucosa revealed partial junctional separation at the level of the basement membrane. DIF showed linear depositions of IgG and C3 along the BMZ. IIF, using 1 M-NaCl split normal human skin, revealed circulating anti-BMZ-IgG antibodies bound to the epidermal side. These findings indicated a diagnosis of anti-BP180-type MMP. Both patients were treated successfully with systemic or topical steroids and oral health care. In conclusion, appropriate clinical examination and cooperation among medical specialists are important for the early diagnosis and treatment of patients with recurrent and chronic stomatitis and for their good prognosis. - Kimura disease associated with severe visual dysfunction due to remarkable periorbital involvement

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes, characterized by autoantibodies against type VII collagen (COL7), a major component of anchoring fibrils. Different clinical EBA phenotypes are described, including mechanobullous and inflammatory variants. Most EBA patients' sera react with epitopes located within the non-collagenous 1 (NC1) domain of human COL7. However, it has remained unclear whether antibody binding to these different epitopes is pathogenically relevant. To address this issue, we generated recombinant proteins covering the entire NC1 domain. IgG reactivity with these proteins was analyzed in sera of 69 EBA patients. Most recognized clusters of epitopes throughout the NC1 domain. No correlation was detected between antibody specificity and clinical phenotype. To study the pathogenicity of antibodies specific to different NC1 subdomains, rabbit antibodies were generated. All these antibodies caused dermal-epidermal separation ex vivo. Antibodies against two of these subdomains were injected into mice carrying null mutations of mouse COL7 and the human COL7 transgene and induced subepidermal blisters. We here document that autoantibodies to COL7, independent of the targeted epitopes, induce blisters both ex vivo and in vivo. In addition, using COL7-humanized mice, we provide in vivo evidence of pathogenicity of autoantibodies binding to human COL7. - Context-Dependent Regulation of Collagen XVII Ectodomain Shedding in Skin

The ectodomain of COL17 can be cleaved from the cell surface within the juxtamembranous extracellular NC16A domain, and, interestingly, certain autoantibodies of pemphigoid patients preferentially react with the shed ectodomain. These findings suggest that COL17 ectodomain shedding generates neoepitopes on the shed form; however, the regulatory mechanism of the shedding in in vivo skin and the pathogenicity of the neoepitope-targeting antibodies still are uncertain. To address these issues, we produced rabbit antibodies specifically reacting with N-terminal cleavage sites of the shed COL17 ectodomain. The antibodies showed that certain amounts of the human COL17 ectodomain are cleaved physiologically at Gln(525) in in vivo skin. In contrast, migrating human keratinocytes cleave COL17 at Leu(524) but not at Gln(525). The passive transfer of antibodies reacting with an N-terminal cleavage site of the mouse COL17 ectodomain into neonatal wild-type mice failed to induce blister formation, even though the antibodies bound to the dermal-epidermal junctions, indicating that cleavage site-specific antibodies have reduced or absent pathogenicity for blister formation. This study shows the ectodomain shedding of COL17 to be a physiological event in in vivo human skin that probably generates nonpathologic epitopes on the cleavage sites. - In vivo analysis of IgE autoantibodies in bullous pemphigoid: A study of 100 cases

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Background: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an acquired autoimmune blistering disease characterized by subepidermal blister formation, in vivo linear deposition of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and complements at the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ). The circulating IgG autoantibodies are directed against two epidermal hemidesmosomal glycoproteins: BP180, also known as type XVII collagen (COL17), and BP230. In addition, recent studies have shown that IgE autoantibodies may be involved in the pathogenesis of BP, although in vivo IgE deposition in lesional skin has not been fully characterized in large numbers of BP patients.
Objective: This study investigated the incidence of in vivo deposition of IgE autoantibodies at the DEJ in lesional skin from a large number of BP patients.
Methods: Peri-lesional skin samples from 100 patients who met the clinical and histopathological criteria for BP were investigated by direct immunofluorescence for the deposition of autoantibodies and complement. Patients' sera were also investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and indirect immunofluorescence.
Results: 18% of BP patients were found to show IgE deposition at the DEJ. Disease severity, clinical course and outcome did not differ between IgE-positive and IgE-negative patients. In 3 IgE-positive cases, IgG was undetectable in vivo, and these cases showed atypical manifestations.
Conclusion: The results of in vivo IgE deposition may not be useful in predicting the disease course of BP, although predominant IgE deposition could alter the pattern of clinical manifestations.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a common autoimmune blistering skin disease in which two hemidesmosomal components - the transmembrane collagen XVII (BP180 or BPAG2) and the plakin family protein BP230 (BPAG1) - are targeted by autoimmunity. Of these, collagen XVII (COL17) is thought to be a major autoantigen, and vital roles of IgG autoantibodies in blister formation have been elucidated. However, BP shows distinct features, including pruritic urticarial erythema and eosinophilic infiltration, which may be independent of IgG-mediated autoimmunity. Recently, it has been revealed that sera from certain patients with BP contain IgE autoantibodies to COL17 and that IgE autoantibodies bind to peri-lesional dermal-epidermal junctions. Mouse models have demonstrated that IgE antibodies to COL17 induce erythema and eosinophilic infiltration in skin. In addition, the successful treatment of severe BP with omalizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting IgE, has been reported. These findings suggest that both IgG and IgE autoantibodies to COL17 may be involved in the BP pathogenesis. This article summarizes IgE-mediated autoimmunity to COL17 in BP.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Complement activation and subsequent recruitment of inflammatory cells at the dermal/epidermal junction are thought to be essential for blister formation in bullous pemphigoid (BP), an autoimmune blistering disease induced by autoantibodies against type XVII collagen (COL17); however, this theory does not fully explain the pathological features of BP. Recently, the involvement of complement-independent pathways has been proposed. To directly address the question of the necessity of the complement activation in blister formation, we generated C3-deficient COL17-humanized mice. First, we show that passive transfer of autoantibodies from BP patients induced blister formation in neonatal C3-deficient COL17-humanized mice without complement activation. By using newly generated human and murine mAbs against the pathogenic noncollagenous 16A domain of COL17 with high (human IgG1, murine IgG2), low (murine IgG1), or no (human IgG4) complement activation abilities, we demonstrate that the deposition of Abs, and not complements, is relevant to the induction of blister formation in neonatal and adult mice. Notably, passive transfer of BP autoantibodies reduced the amount of COL17 in lesional mice skin, as observed in cultured normal human keratinocytes treated with the same Abs. Moreover, the COL17 depletion was associated with a ubiquitin/proteasome pathway. In conclusion, the COL17 depletion induced by BP autoantibodies, and not complement activation, is essential for the blister formation under our experimental system. - Paper-Based ELISA for the Detection of Autoimmune Antibodies in Body Fluid-The Case of Bullous Pemphigoid

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP), a common autoimmune blistering disease, is increasing in incidence and conveys a high mortality. Detection of autoantibodies targeting the noncollagenous 16A (NC16A) domain of type XVII collagen using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing BP. We have developed a rapid, low-cost, and widely applicable ELISA-based system to detect the NC16A autoimmune antibody and then diagnose and monitor BP disease activity using a piece of filter paper, a wax-printer, and NC16A antigens. Both sera and/or blister fluids from 14 untreated BP patients were analyzed. The control group included healthy volunteers and patients with other blistering disorders such as pemphigus vulgaris. In our established paper-based ELISA (P-ELISA) system, only 2 mu L of serum or blister fluid and 70 min were required to detect anti-NC16A autoimmune antibodies. The relative color intensity was significantly higher in the BP group than in the control groups when using either serum (P < 0.05) or blister fluid (P < 0.001) specimens from BP patients. The results of P-ELISA were moderately correlated with the titer of the commercial ELISA kit (MBL, Japan) (rho = 0.5680, P = 0.0011). This newly developed system allows for rapid and convenient diagnosis and/or monitoring of BP disease activity. - Novel ADAR1 mutations including a single amino acid deletion in the deaminase domain underlie dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria in Japanese families

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs) are characterized by blisters and erosions on the skin and/or mucous membranes, which are caused by autoantibodies directed to structural proteins of the epidermis and the epidermal basement membrane zone. This Viewpoint Essay discusses the contribution by autoreactive T cells to the pathogenesis of bullous pemphigoid, pemphigus and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, with an emphasis on studies using active animal mouse models for these diseases. Previous studies have demonstrated that cytokines produced by autoreactive T cells, the interaction between antigen-specific T cells and B cells and the function of regulatory T cells are likely related to the pathogenesis of AIBDs. In interpreting the experimental results, the limitations of those animal models should be considered. Further understanding of the pathogenicity of autoreactive CD4+ T cells may lead to disease-specific treatments. - Coexistence of pustular and vegetative pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In bullous pemphigoid (BP), the most prevalent autoimmune blistering disease, type XVII collagen (COL17) is targeted by circulating autoantibodies. BP is thought to be an autoantibody-mediated complement-fixing blistering disease, and a juxtamembranous noncollagenous 16A (NC16A) domain spanning Glu(490) to Arg(566) was proved to be the main pathogenic region on COL17, although precise pathogenic epitopes within NC16A have not been elucidated. In this study, we showed that injection of rabbit IgG Abs targeting Asp(522) to Gln(545) induced skin fragility associated with in vivo deposition of IgG and complement in neonatal COL17-humanized mice. Notably, immunoadsorption of rabbit anti-NC16A IgG Ab with this epitope (Asp(522) to Gln(545)) or the anti-NC16A IgG administered together with the peptides of this epitope as a decoy ameliorated skin fragility in the injected neonatal COL17-humanized mice compared with the anti-NC16A IgG alone even though all of the mice showed both IgG and complement deposition. These results led us to investigate an additional, complement-independent mechanism of skin fragility in the mice injected with anti-COL17 Abs. The rabbit anti-NC16A IgG depleted the expression of COL17 in cultured normal human keratinocytes, whereas immunoadsorption of the same IgG with this epitope significantly suppressed the depletion effect. Moreover, passive transfer of F(ab')(2) fragments of the human BP or rabbit IgG Abs against COL17 demonstrated skin fragility in neonatal COL17-humanized mice. In summary, this study reveals the importance of Abs directed against distinct epitopes on COL17, which induce skin fragility in complement-dependent as well as complement-independent ways.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a mucous membrane-dominated, subepidermal autoimmune blistering disease in which autoantibodies usually react with the C-terminal domain of type XVII collagen (COL17) or with laminin-332. Only a few cases of MMP with widespread blisters have been reported. Serologically, IgA and IgG class autoantibodies directed against COL17 or IgG autoantibodies directed against laminin-332 in patients with MMP have been well documented. MMP cases in which IgA reacts with laminin-332, however, are extremely rare. We report a case of MMP in a 67-year-old man. Clinical examination revealed extensive mucosal lesions as well as generalized blisters and erosions that healed with scar formation. The disease was intractable to treatment with systemic steroids. Interestingly, in addition to IgG directed against laminin-332 and the noncollagenous 16A (NC16A) and C-terminal domains of COL17, circulating IgA reacting with laminin-332 and with the NC16A domain of COL17 was also detected. This is the first MMP case with circulating IgA and IgG autoantibodies against both laminin-332 and COL17. - Intraepidermal neutrophilic IgA pemphigus successfully treated with dapsone

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP), the most common autoimmune blistering disease, is caused by autoantibodies against type XVII collagen (COL17). We recently demonstrated that CD4(+) T cells were crucial for the production of anti-COL17 IgG and for the development of the BP phenotype by using a novel active BP mouse model by adoptively transferring immunized splenocytes into immunodeficient COL17-humanized mice. Noncollagenous 16A (NC16A) domain of COL17 is considered to contain the main pathogenic epitopes of BP, however, the pathogenicity of COL17 NC16A-reactive CD4(+) T cells has never been elucidated. To address this issue, we modulated the immune responses against COL17 in active BP model by using anti-CD4(0) ligand (CD40L) monoclonal antibody MR1, an inhibitor of the CD40-CD40L interaction, in various ways. First, we show the essential rote of CD4(+) T cells in the model by showing that CD4(+) T cells isolated from wild-type mice immunized with human COL17 enabled naive B cells to produce anti-COL17 NC16A IgG in vivo. Second, we show that the activation of anti-COL17 NC16A IgG-producing B cells via CD40-CD40L interaction was completed within 5 days after the adoptive transfer of immunized splenocytes. Notably, a single administration of MR1 at day 0 was enough to inhibit the production of anti-COL17 NC16A IgG and to diminish skin lesions despite the presence of restored anti-COL17 IgG at the later stage. In contrast, the delayed administration of MR1 failed to inhibit the production of anti-COL17 NC16A IgG and the development of the BP phenotype. These results strongly suggest that COL17 NC16A-reactive CD4(+) T cells play a pivotal role in the production of pathogenic autoantibodies and in the development of active disease in experimental BP model.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disease caused by IgG autoantibodies targeting the noncollagenous 16A (NC16A) domain of human collagen 17 (hCOL17), which triggers blister formation via complement activation. Previous in vitro analysis demonstrated that IgG1 autoantibodies showed much stronger pathogenic activity than IgG4 autoantibodies; however, the exact pathogenic role of IgG1 autoantibodies has not been fully demonstrated in vivo. We constructed a recombinant IgG1 mAb against hCOL17 NC16A from BP patients. In COL17-humanized mice, this mAb effectively reproduced a BP phenotype that included subepidermal blisters, deposition of IgG1, C1q and C3, neutrophil infiltration, and mast cell degranulation. Subsequently, alanine substitutions at various C1q binding sites were separately introduced to the Fc region of the IgG1 mAb. Among these mutated mAbs, the one that was mutated at the P331 residue completely failed to activate the complement in vitro and drastically lost pathogenic activity in COL17-humanized mice. These findings indicate that P331 is a key residue required for complement activation and that IgG1-dependent complement activation is essential for blister formation in BP. This study is, to our knowledge, the first direct evidence that IgG1 Abs to hCOL17 NC16A can induce blister formation in vivo, and it raises the possibility that IgG1 mAbs with Fc modification may be used to block pathogenic epitopes in autoimmune diseases.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Objective: Tumor depth is the limiting factor for topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) treating cutaneous invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The thickness of <2-3 mm below the epidermis is the currently recommended effective response depth in nonmelanoma skin cancers. We report an unusual outgrowing SCC with a tumor depth of 5.5 mm, which was successfully treated with PDT. Methods: Topical 20% (wt/wt) 5-aminolaevulinic acid emulsion was applied for 6 h before irradiation with 633-nm red light. The lesion was irradiated 7 times, 1 week apart, at a total dose of 791 J/cm(2). Results: Twelve months later, histologic and clinical examination showed a complete remission and no local or systemic metastases. No serious side effects occurred, and the cosmetic outcome was excellent. Conclusion: PDT may offer a noninvasive, well-tolerated, and effective therapy for inoperable low-risk SCC with an outgrowing pattern. It suggests that tumor depth is not an absolute predictor, but only a suggested reference. - Prevalent LIPH Founder Mutations Lead to Loss of P2Y5 Activation Ability of PA-PLA(1)alpha in Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Autosomal recessive hypotrichosis (ARH) is characterized by sparse hair on the scalp without other abnormalities. Three genes, DSG4, LIPH, and LPAR6 (P2RY5), have been reported to underlie ARH. We performed a mutation search for the three candidate genes in five independent Japanese ARH families and identified two LIPH mutations: c.736T > A (p.Cys246Ser) in all five families, and c.742C > A (p.His248Asn) in four of the five families. Out of 200 unrelated control alleles, we detected c.736T > A in three alleles and c.742C > A in one allele. Haplotype analysis revealed each of the two mutant alleles is derived from a respective founder. These results suggest the LIPH mutations are prevalent founder mutations for ARH in the Japanese population. LIPH encodes PA-PLA(1)alpha (LIPH), a membrane-associated phosphatidic acid-preferring phospholipase A(1)alpha. Two residues, altered by these mutations, are conserved among PA-PLA(1)alpha of diverse species. Cys(246) forms intramolecular disulfide bonds on the lid domain, a crucial structure for substrate recognition, and His(248) is one amino acid of the catalytic triad. Both p.Cys246Ser- and p.His248Asn-PA-PLA(1)alpha mutants showed complete abolition of hydrolytic activity and had no P2Y5 activation ability. These results suggest defective activation of P2Y5 due to reduced 2-acyl lysophosphatidic acid production by the mutant PA-PLA(1)alpha is involved in the pathogenesis of ARH.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune blistering disease. BP patients have autoantibodies against type XVII collagen (COL17, also called BP180 or BPAG2), a type II transmembrane protein that spans the lamina lucida and projects into the lamina densa of the epidermal basement membrane. The non-collagenous 16A domain of COL17 is considered to contain pathogenic epitopes of BP. The transfer of immunoglobulin (Ig)G from BP patients fails to cause blisters on mouse skin probably due to differences between humans and mice in the amino acid sequence of NC16A pathogenic epitope of COL17. Passive transfer of rabbit IgG antibodies against the murine homolog of human COL17 NC16A triggers immune reactions to COL17 in mice, including complement activation, mast cell degranulation and neutrophilic infiltration, resulting in dermal-epidermal separation. Recent studies using COL17-humanized mice that express human COL17 but lack murine COL17 were the first to demonstrate the pathogenicity of anti-COL17 human BP IgG autoantibodies in vivo. These new findings provide a greater understanding of BP pathomechanisms and facilitate the development of novel specific and efficient therapeutic strategies for BP. - Blockade of Autoantibody-Initiated Tissue Damage by Using Recombinant Fab Antibody Fragments against Pathogenic Autoantigen

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Activation of the complement cascade via the classical pathway is required for the development of tissue injury in many autoantibody-mediated diseases. It therefore makes sense to block the pathological action of autoantibodies by preventing complement activation through inhibition of autoantibody binding to the corresponding pathogenic autoantigen using targeted Fab antibody fragments. To achieve this, we use bullous pemphigoid (BP) as an example of a typical autoimmune disease. Recombinant Fabs against the non-collagenous 16th-A domain of type XVII collagen, the main pathogenic epitope for autoantibodies in BP, were generated from antibody repertoires of BP patients by phage display. Two Fabs, Fab-B4 and Fab-19, showed marked ability to inhibit the binding of BP autoantibodies and subsequent complement activation in vitro. In the in vivo experiments using type XVII collagen humanized BP model mice, these Fabs protected mice against BP autoantibody-induced blistering disease. Thus, the blocking of pathogenic epitopes using engineered Fabs appears to demonstrate efficacy and may lead to disease-specific treatments for antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bullous pemphigoid (BP), the most common autoimmune blistering disease, is caused by autoantibodies against type XVII collagen (COL17). To establish an active stable BP animal model that demonstrates the persistent inflammatory skin lesions initiated by the anti-human COL17 Abs, we used COL17-humanized (COL17(m-/-,h+)) mice that we recently produced. First, we generated immunodeficient Rag-2(-/-)/COL17-humanized mice by crossing Rag-2(-/-) mice with COL17-humanized mice. Then, splenocytes from wild-type mice that had been immunized by grafting of human COL17-transgenic mouse skin were transferred into Rag-2(-/-)/COL17-humanized mice. The recipient mice continuously produced anti-human COL17 IgG Abs in vivo and developed blisters and erosions corresponding to clinical, histological, and immunopathological features of BP, although eosinophil infiltration, one of the characteristic histological findings observed in BP patients, was not detected in the recipients. Although the depletion of CD8(+) T cells from the immunized splenocytes was found to produce no effects in the recipients, the depletion of CD4(+) T cells as well as CD45R(+) B cells was found to inhibit the production of anti-human COL17 IgG Abs in the recipients, resulting in no apparent clinical phenotype. Furthermore, we demonstrated that cyclosporin A significantly suppressed the production of anti-human COL17 IgG Abs and prevented the development of the BP phenotype in the treated recipients. Although this model in an immunodeficient mouse does not exactly reproduce the induction mechanism of BP in human patients, this unique experimental system targeting humanized pathogenic Ag allows us to investigate ongoing autoimmune responses to human molecules in experimental animal models.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), All mammal neonates receive maternal Abs for protection against pathogenic organisms in the postnatal environment. However, neonates can experience serious adverse reactions if the Abs transferred from the mother recognize self-molecules as autoAgs. In this study, we describe a novel model for autoimmune disease induced by transferred maternal Abs in genetically transformed Ag-humanized mice progeny. Bullous pemphigoid is the most common life-threatening autoimmune blistering skin disease that affects the elderly, in which circulating IgG autoAbs are directed against epidermal type XVII collagen (COL17). We have established a genetically manipulated experimental mouse model in which maternal Abs against human COL17 are transferred to pups whose skin expresses only human and not mouse COL17, resulting in blistering similar to that seen in patients with bullous pemphigoid. Maternal transfer of pathogenic Abs to humanized neonatal mice is a unique and potential experimental system to establish a novel autoimmune disease model.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Harlequin ichthyosis (HI), which is the most severe genodermatosis, is caused by loss-of-function mutations in ABCA12, a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter family. To investigate the pathomechanism of HI and the function of the ABCA12 protein, we generated ABCA12-deficient mice (Abca12(-/-)) by targeting Abca12. Abca12(-/-) mice closely reproduce the human HI phenotype, showing marked hyperkeratosis with eclabium and skin fissure. Lamellar granule abnormalities and defective ceramide distribution were remarkable in the epidermis. Skin permeability assay of Abca12(-/-) fetuses revealed severe skin barrier dysfunction after the initiation of keratinization. Surprisingly, the Abca12(-/-) mice also demonstrated lung alveolar collapse immediately after birth. Lamellar bodies in alveolar type II cells of the Abca12(-/-) mice lacked normal lamellar structures. The level of surfactant protein B, an essential component of alveolar surfactant, was reduced in the Abca12(-/-) mice. Fetal therapeutic trials with systemic administration of retinoid or dexamethasone, which are effective for HI and respiratory distress, respectively, to the pregnant mother mice neither improved the skin phenotype nor extended the survival period. Our HI model mice reproduce the human HI skin phenotype soon after the initiation of fetal skin keratinization and provide evidence that ABCA12 plays pivotal roles in lung and skin barrier functions. - Leukaemic dissemination of Merkel cell carcinoma in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by destructive, necrotizing and noninfective ulceration of the skin mostly on lower extremities. PG is well known as a complication of Takayasu's arteritis in Japan. However, this association is not commonly observed in North American and European patients. We describe a case of PG that was associated with Takayasu's arteritis who was successfully treated with systemic cyclosporin. We have reviewed 35 well-documented PG cases with Takayasu's arteritis in comparison to 106 PG cases without Takayasu's arteritis. The results demonstrate that this association occurs predominantly in young females and that these cases exhibit more widespread PG lesions. - Generalized pustular psoriasis and Hepatitis C virus infection.

Eccrine porocarcinoma, also known as porocarcinoma (PC) and malignant eccrine poroma, is very rare and is known to arise from the cutaneous intraepidermal ducts of the sweat glands. Its etiology is not well understood; however, some studies suggest that PC tumors originate from benign eccrine poroma. Recently, several gene alterations have been reported in PC that can reveal mechanisms of the oncogenic process. Since the clinical and histopathological findings of PC are variable, PC is difficult to diagnose precisely, especially when the histology resembles that of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma or poroma. Immunohistochemical staining with carcinoembryonic antigen and epithelial membrane antigen may help to distinguish PC from other tumors. The standard treatment for local PC is wide local excision. The prognosis of patients with metastatic PC is poor, with mortality rates of approximately 60–70%. The efficacy of radiation and chemotherapy for metastatic PC is limited; however, immunotherapy with pembrolizumab, a programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitor, could be a promising treatment. This review focuses on the history, pathogenesis, pathological features, diagnosis, and treatment of eccrine porocarcinoma., 英語 - 【皮膚疾患研究の最前線】水疱性類天疱瘡の基礎研究最前線

水疱性類天疱瘡は最も頻度の高い自己免疫性水疱症で、高齢者に好発する表皮下水疱症である。表皮基底膜部のヘミデスモソームに存在するBP180やBP230に対する自己抗体によって生じる。BPの発症機序、つまりBP180やBP230に対する免疫寛容が破綻する機序は未だ不明であるが、外的因子や神経疾患、血液悪性腫瘍との関連やDPP-4阻害薬や免疫チェックポイント阻害薬といった薬剤との関連、そして制御性T細胞機能不全の関与などが示唆されている。本稿では、水疱性類天疱瘡の発症機序に関する研究の現状と今後の展望について述べる。(著者抄録), (株)北隆館, 日本語 - 加齢に着目した新たな自己抗体産生機序の解明

加齢に伴い免疫自己寛容が破綻する機序を解明し、自己免疫疾患の病態解明および新規治療法開発の基盤とすることを目的とした。P180リコンビナントタンパクを基質としたウエスタンブロット法で、30匹中15匹の高齢マウス血清中に抗BP180IgM抗体が検出された。若年マウスでは10匹中1匹で反応がみられた。マウス脾臓中のAge-associated B Cells(ABCs)はオスの制御性T細胞(Treg)欠損マウス(scurfyマウス)よりメスのscurfyマウスの方が多く、T-bet KOマウスではABCsは検出されなかったが、T-bet KO/ScurfyマウスではABCsが検出された。Treg機能不全によってABCsが増加することが示された。ABCsの分化に重要とされているT-betをKOしたマウスであってもTreg機能不全によってABCsが誘導されることから、Treg機能不全がABCs増加に与える影響が大きいことが判明した。, (公財)マルホ・高木皮膚科学振興財団, 日本語 - 表皮融解性魚鱗癬の1家系

<文献概要>Point ・DPP-4阻害薬内服開始後,数ヵ月~数年したのちに水疱性類天疱瘡を発症する。・DPP-4阻害薬の種類によって水疱性類天疱瘡の発症頻度に差がある。・通常の水疱性類天疱瘡に比べて紅斑が乏しい非炎症型の症例が多く,抗BP180NC16a抗体価が低値あるいは陰性のことが比較的多い。・日本人の非炎症型患者の大半でHLA-DQB1*03:01が検出される。・DPP-4阻害薬を数ヵ月以上内服している患者に複数のびらんや水疱が出現してきた場合は,水疱性類天疱瘡を想起して速やかに精査すべきである。, 金原出版(株), 日本語 - 【目標を見据えた高齢者糖尿病管理~実態の理解から薬物療法まで~】高齢者薬物療法の注意点 糖尿病薬における皮膚合併症

水疱性類天疱瘡と粘膜類天疱瘡は、いずれも表皮基底膜部に対する自己抗体によって生じる自己免疫性表皮下水疱症である。診断は臨床像、病理組織学的所見、および免疫学的検査所見に基づいて決定する。典型例では診断は比較的容易であるが、非典型的な臨床像や検査所見を呈する症例も多く、しばしば診断に難渋する。治療は重症度に応じて選択するが、個々の症例の背景や合併症なども勘案し総合的に判断する。いずれも軽症例ではステロイド全身投与を用いずに寛解に至る症例が多いため、早期診断と適切な重症度判定が重要である。ステロイド全身投与にあたっては、特に高齢者では血圧や血糖の上昇、筋力低下、骨粗鬆症などが顕在化しやすいため、注意深く経過観察するとともに他科と連携しながら診療にあたる必要がある。(著者抄録), (株)全日本病院出版会, 日本語 - 粘膜類天疱瘡の鑑別における蛍光抗体直接法の施行例のまとめ

<文献概要>はじめに 自己免疫性水疱症は,表皮角化細胞(ケラチノサイト)の細胞膜や表皮基底膜部に存在する蛋白に対する自己抗体によって,皮膚や粘膜に水疱やびらんなどの皮膚症状を呈する疾患群です.角化細胞の細胞膜に存在する蛋白に対する自己抗体によって表皮内に水疱が形成される"天疱瘡群"と,表皮基底膜部に存在する蛋白に対する自己抗体によって表皮下に水疱が形成される"類天疱瘡群"の2群に分けられます(表1).また,IgG自己抗体が検出される疾患と,IgA自己抗体が検出される疾患があります(表1).頻度として,水疱性類天疱瘡が最も高く,次いで尋常性天疱瘡や落葉状天疱瘡が高いとされています.天疱瘡群のほとんどの亜型と,水疱性類天疱瘡,粘膜類天疱瘡,後天性表皮水疱症は,中等症以上の場合は厚生労働省の指定難病に含まれます.診断には,臨床症状に加え,病理組織学的検査と自己抗体の検出が必要です.典型的な症例では診断が容易ですが,非典型的な症例では一般的な検査で自己抗体が検出されないことがあり,しばしば診断が困難です.そこで本稿では,自己免疫性水疱症の診断のために行われる検査法について解説します., (株)医学書院, 日本語 - 【日常診療で接する薬剤性皮膚障害】(Part1.)糖尿病治療薬による薬疹(総説1) DPP-4阻害薬内服に伴う水疱性類天疱瘡

DPP-4阻害薬関連水疱性類天疱瘡(BP)の特徴として、高齢の男性が多く、薬剤によってバラツキがあるものの約1000人に1人が発症し、内服開始から発症までの期間が数ヵ月〜数年と長く、紅斑に乏しい非炎症型が比較的多い。抗BP180NC16A抗体が低値あるいは陰性の症例が多く、診断には全長BP180ELISA法が有用である。日本人の非炎症型症例ではHLA-DQB1*03:01の保有率が高い。, (株)学研メディカル秀潤社, 日本語 - 【日常診療で接する薬剤性皮膚障害】(Part1.)糖尿病治療薬による薬疹(case1) DPP-4阻害薬内服患者に生じた水疱性類天疱瘡の1例

58歳,男性。初診の2週間前より,体幹・四肢に散在する紅斑・緊満性水疱と眼・口腔粘膜症状が出現した。体幹の紅斑部からの皮膚生検組織を用いた蛍光抗体直接法では,表皮真皮境界部にIgG,IgAおよびC3の線状沈着を認めた。また,健常人の1M食塩水処理皮膚と患者血清を用いた蛍光抗体間接法では,真皮側にIgGが沈着した。さらに,健常人の真皮抽出液を用いた免疫ブロット法で,患者血清中のIgGがVII型コラーゲンの分子量に相当する290kDaの蛋白と反応したため,後天性表皮水疱症と確定診断した。プレドニゾロンとアザチオプリンを併用したが,病勢を完全には抑えきれなかった。免疫グロブリン静注療法とシクロフォスファミドパルス療法を追加したところ,徐々に症状の改善を認めた。眼粘膜症状を呈する後天性表皮水疱症は稀であり,自験例では,IgG型の抗VII型コラーゲン抗体だけでなく,IgA型の自己抗体も病態に関与している可能性が示唆された。(著者抄録), 日本皮膚科学会-西部支部, 日本語 - Epitope spreading現象によって抗BP180 NC16a抗体が陽転化したdipeptidyl peptidase-IV阻害薬関連水疱性類天疱瘡の3例

糖尿病患者さんには、糖尿病性壊疽をはじめとした様々な皮膚疾患が生じます。近年、DPP-4阻害薬を服用中の2型糖尿病患者さんに、自己免疫性水疱症である水疱性類天疱瘡が生じた報告が国内外で増加しています。水疱性類天疱瘡(bullous pemphigoid;BP)は、表皮基底膜部にあるヘミデスモソームという細胞接着装置の構成蛋白であるBP180に対する自己抗体によって、表皮真皮間の結合が低下するために、皮膚および粘膜に表皮下水疱が生じる自己免疫性水疱症です。水疱性類天疱瘡は本邦で最も頻度の高い自己免疫性水疱症で、70歳代以上の高齢者に好発し、中等症以上は厚生労働省指定難病に含まれます。最近の研究により、DPP-4阻害薬関連水疱性類天疱瘡は高齢者に好発することや、通常の水疱性類天疱瘡と比べて紅斑が乏しい「非炎症型」が多いこと、HLA-DQB1*03:01陽性例が多いことなどが明らかとなってきました。DPP-4阻害薬服用患者さんの約0.09%に水疱性類天疱瘡が生じるという報告もあります。本症はまれな疾患ですが、見逃されやすく、重症化することもあるため、糖尿病治療に関わる内科医や医療スタッフに広く周知されるべき疾患です。DPP-4阻害薬服用中の患者さんに複数のびらんや水疱が見られた場合には、本疾患を想起して速やかに対応する必要があります。(著者抄録), (公社)日本糖尿病協会, 日本語 - 発症から診断までに10年以上が経過した粘膜類天疱瘡の1例

<文献概要>73歳,男性.初診の10年以上前から口腔,鼻腔および咽喉頭粘膜にびらん,潰瘍が出現した.近医耳鼻科でBehcet病を疑われ,プレドニゾロンやコルヒチンの内服などで治療されたが,難治であった.また,初診の3年前から眼球癒着を生じ,眼科で内反症解除術・眼球癒着解除術を施行されたが,術後1ヵ月で再び癒着した.口腔内の難治性潰瘍の精査・加療目的に当科を紹介され受診した.歯肉びらん部の病理組織像では粘膜上皮・固有層間に裂隙を認めた.無疹部であった口唇粘膜の生検組織を用いた蛍光抗体直接法では粘膜上皮直下に線状のIgG沈着を認め,1M食塩水剥離ヒト皮膚を用いた蛍光抗体間接法では患者血清IgGが裂隙の表皮側に沈着した.以上から,抗BP180型粘膜類天疱瘡と考えた.皮膚病変が軽症な粘膜類天疱瘡では,他科で診断が不確定なまま粘膜の難治性潰瘍として長期間治療されることがあるため,他科との密な連携が必要である., (株)医学書院, 日本語 - CRISPR/Cas9システムを用いた劣性栄養障害型表皮水疱症(RDEB)の治療法の開発

62歳女。左下腿の疼痛・腫脹、全身の紅斑を主訴とした。54歳時に紅斑期菌状息肉症(MF)と診断されたが通院を自己中断していた。顔面に出現した紅斑が急速に隆起して右上眼瞼に75mm大、眉間に55mm大、上口唇に50mm大の腫瘤を形成して右眼は開眼不能であり、腫瘤期MFと診断した。左下腿の疼痛・腫脹は蜂窩織炎と診断してセフェピムおよびクリンダマイシン連日投与を行い、1週間で全身状態改善後、エトレチナート内服を併用しつつ週5回のメトキサレン内服による内服PUVA療法に加え、顔面の腫瘤に対して40Gy/20Frの電子線照射を施行した。腫瘤は瘢痕を残して速やかに消退し、4年経過時点で顔面病変は寛解を維持している。, 金原出版(株), 日本語 - 【肥満細胞は今】自己免疫性水疱症と肥満細胞
氏家 英之, 皮膚アレルギーフロンティア, 14, 2, 77, 80, 2016年07月
自己免疫性水疱症である水疱性類天疱瘡では、かゆみを伴う浮腫性紅斑が臨床的特徴であり、組織学的にも肥満細胞の脱顆粒が観察されることから、肥満細胞がその病態に大きく関与していると考えられている。肥満細胞欠損マウスや類天疱瘡抗原(XVII型コラーゲン)特異的IgE抗体を用いた研究により、肥満細胞が発症早期の炎症惹起および浮腫性紅斑の形成に重要な役割を果たしていることが明らかになりつつある。肥満細胞の脱顆粒を促す要素として、類天疱瘡抗原と類天疱瘡抗原特異的IgEによるIgE受容体の架橋や、補体活性化に伴って生じる補体成分C3aやC5aの受容体への結合が考えられている。(著者抄録), (株)メディカルレビュー社, 日本語 - 市販薬内服後に発症しラミニンα3に対する自己抗体が陽性であった表皮下水疱症

水疱性類天疱瘡は、抗表皮基底膜部に対する自己抗体により表皮下水疱を形成する、代表的な自己免疫性水疱症である。最も頻度の高い自己免疫性水疱症で、日本では近年の高度の高齢化に伴い患者数は増加傾向にある。主な標的抗原は180kDa水疱性類天疱瘡抗原であり、この分子を中心とした免疫反応の解析が進められている。近年では副腎皮質ホルモンに加え、IVIG療法や分子標的薬を用いた治療が試みられるようになり、良好な成績を収めている。(著者抄録), (株)北隆館, 日本語 - 自己免疫水疱症の最新知見 自己免疫性水疱症発生機序解明のための最新研究

水疱性類天疱瘡(BP)はもっとも頻度の高い自己免疫性水疱症であり、多発性のかゆみを伴う蕁麻疹様紅斑と緊満性水疱(表皮下水疱)を臨床的特徴とする。患者血清中には表皮基底膜部の構成蛋白であるXVII型コラーゲン(COL17)に対する自己抗体が存在し、その病原性は疾患動物モデルを用いた最近の研究によって証明された。BPでは、自己抗体が抗原に結合することによって引き起こされる複雑な免疫応答の結果、表皮下水疱が形成されると考えられているが、その病態はいまだ十分に解明されていない。近年、さまざまなBPマウスモデルが樹立され、抗COL17 IgG抗体のみならず、抗COL17 IgE抗体やCOL17反応性ヘルパーT細胞に関する研究も盛んに行われるようになってきており、さらなる病態解明が期待される。(著者抄録), 医歯薬出版(株), 日本語 - トラニラストの内服が有効であったeruptive syringomaの2例

83歳女性。略全身の浮腫性紅斑と水疱、びらんを主訴に来院した。臨床、病理組織、免疫組織学的所見およびBP180ELISA値から水疱性類天疱瘡と診断した。ステロイドの全身投与(prednisolone,0.75mg/kg/日)を開始したが、内服開始後4週間の時点でも紅斑、水疱の新生を認めた。肺癌を併発しており全身状態が不良であることから、免疫抑制剤の併用や血漿交換療法はリスクが高いと考え、免疫グロブリン大量静注療法(400mg/kg/日、5日間)を施行した。投与直後より皮疹の著明な改善とBP180ELISA値の著明な低下を認め、その後ステロイドの減量を行うも皮疹の再燃は認めなかった。(著者抄録), 日本皮膚科学会, 日本語 - Development of an active disease model for bullous pemphigoid

1)水疱性類天疱瘡(B患者の末梢血中の活性化好塩基球上のBP-IgEに結合するBP180ペプチドを抗17型コラーゲン抗体で検出を図る。
治療開始前の水疱性類天疱瘡患者の末梢血中好塩基球についてAllergenicity kitを用いてフローサイトメトリ―にて解析を行うと好塩基球の活性化マーカ-であるCD203cの発現が亢進していることを確認した。CD203cの発現が亢進している水疱性類天疱瘡患者の末梢血好塩基球に対して水疱性類天疱瘡自己抗体の主要な病原エピトープであるBP180のNC16A領域を標的とするマウスモノクローナル抗体(TS39-3)を蛍光標識した後、好塩基球表面のIgE自己抗体上に結合しているであろうBP180断片の検出を試みるもTS39-3特異的なシグナルを検出することはできなかった。IgE己抗体に補足されるBP180が全長や主要な病原エピトープであるNC16A領域ではない可能性が懸念された。
2)寛解期にある水疱性類天疱瘡患者末梢血好塩基球をBP180リコンビナントタンパクで刺激し、好塩基球の活性化を指標にBP-IgEの検出・定量を試みる。
治療を開始し、寛解導入後の水疱性類天疱瘡患者の末梢血をBP180全長リコンビナントタンパクを用いて刺激すると好塩基球のCD203c発現の亢進みられる症例を認めた。CD203cの発現亢進の程度を定量化するため、(BP180刺激-PBS)/(抗IgE刺激-PBS)をstimulation indexと定義した。stimulation indexがbullous pemphigoid disease area index (BPDAI)で表される客観的な皮疹の重症度に正の相関がみられる傾向を認めた。

免疫系の老化、すなわち免疫老化によって自己免疫疾患のリスクが増加することが知られているが、詳細な機序の大部分は不明である。水疱性類天疱瘡(BP)は表皮基底膜部に存在するBP180やBP230に対する自己抗体によって生じる自己免疫性水疱症で、高齢者に好発する。我々は最近、一部の高齢マウスは表皮基底膜部に対する自己抗体を自然産生していることを発見した。本研究の目的は、BPをモデル疾患として“加齢に伴う免疫自己寛容の破綻機序を解明する”ことである。
まず、高齢マウスが産生する抗基底膜部自己抗体の標的抗原を同定するため、BP180、ラミニンγ1、ラミニンγ2、ラミニンβ3、ラミニンα3の各リコンビナントタンパクを作成した。高齢マウス(70週齢以上)の血清を採取し、作成したリコンビナントタンパクを基質としてウエスタンブロットを施行した。BP180リコンビナントタンパクを基質としたウエスタンブロット法で、約半数の高齢マウス血清中に抗BP180 IgM抗体が検出された。ラミニンγ1、ラミニンγ2、ラミニンβ3、ラミニンα3を基質としたウエスタンブロット法は陰性だった。
次に、加齢に伴いB細胞が抗基底膜部自己抗体を産生する機序を、制御性T細胞(Treg)とAge-associate B cells(ABCs)に着目して検討した。Treg欠損マウスでは野生型マウスに比較して、脾臓におけるABCsが増加していた。
また、薬剤投与により高齢マウスに病原性自己抗体を誘導できるかどうかを、近年BPの発症誘因として注目されているDPP-4阻害薬と抗PD-1抗体に着目して検討している。現在、高齢マウスにこれらの薬剤を投与中だが、今のところBP自己抗体の有意な誘導は見られていない。

2020年度は、18名の水疱性類天疱瘡患者(DPP4阻害薬内服中の症例を含む)末梢血単核球中のB細胞をEBウイルスを用い形質転換した。樹立したLymphoblastoid cell lineの培養上清を用い、水疱性類天疱瘡抗原であるBP180タンパクへの自己抗体の反応性をELISA法で確認したところ、全ての患者さん由来細胞でIgGクラス自己抗体の反応性は確認できなかった。しかし、6名のLymphoblastoid cell line培養上清に坑BP180 IgMクラス自己抗体を確認したため、形質転換した細胞群から単一あるいはポリクローナルな状態での、坑BP180自己抗体産生細胞の採取をFACSソーティングで試みた。その結果、坑BP180自己抗体産生細胞数が極めて少なかったことと、蛍光標識BP180タンパクが細胞表面に結合した後のエンドサイトーシスに伴う蛍光の減弱のため、細胞の単離は上手くいかなかった。そこで、pH耐性緑色蛍光タンパクであるGamillusを融合したBP180タンパクを作製し、再度FACSソーティングを行うこととした。細胞を単離したのち、次世代シークエンサーによる自己抗体可変領域のアミノ酸配列の解読と、リコンビナント坑BP180自己抗体の作製、そしてマウスへ投与し病原性の確認を計画しそれぞれの予備実験を開始していたが、今後の研究を遂行できなくなったため、2021年以降の交付申請は辞退することにした。

自己免疫疾患は全身臓器に生じるが、生体内に存在する無数のタンパクのなかで一部のタンパクが自己免疫の標的になりやすい理由は大部分が不明である。本研究の目的は、特定のタンパクが免疫自己の標的となる機序を解明し、それを回避する方法を創出することである。本研究では皮膚の代表的な自己免疫疾患である「水疱性類天疱瘡(BP)」と「尋常性天疱瘡(PV)」を対象とする。発症頻度はPVよりBPが圧倒的に高いことが知られている。本研究ではこれらの疾患に着目してマウスの胸腺を解析し、なぜBPはPVより頻度が高いかを明らかにする。また、新規マウスモデルを作製して胸腺での自己抗原の発現を増加させることで「中枢性免疫寛容の強化は末梢性免疫寛容の機能不全を補完できるかどうか」を検証する。
マウス胸腺の皮膚構造タンパクの発現の網羅的解析のため、マウスの胸腺髄質上皮細胞をソーティングしRNAを回収する方法を確立した。RNA-sequenceでmTECにおけるmRNA発現を網羅的に解析したところ、BP180若年マウス胸腺のmTECではBP180(Col17a1)のmRNAが十分に発現していることが明らかとなった。
胸腺にBP180を過剰発現させ免疫寛容の破綻を回避できるかどうか検証するため、マウス胸腺のmTECにBP180を過剰発現させ、BP180に対する中枢性免疫寛容が回復するかどうかを解析する。現在、ケラチン14(K14)プロモーター下にヒトBP180タンパクを発現し、マウスBP180は欠損している「K14-BP180ヒト化マウス」とTreg欠損マウスを交配して「Treg欠損/K14-BP180ヒト化マウス」を作製している。

1)培養細胞を用いてC1qが自己抗原の枯渇を促進するか検証
本研究を遂行するにあたり、17型コラーゲンに対するモノクローナル抗体の作成を行った。現在までの病原性抗体(NC16A抗体)をヒトIgG1/IgG4抗体で作成が完了した。非病原性抗体とされるnon-NC16A抗体は、Phage display法で作成を行っている最中である。作成したモノクローナルNC16A抗体は、補体結合能を評価したところIgG1でC1qの結合をみとめた、一方でIgG4は補体結合能がなかった。この結果から作成した抗体は抗原結合部位(Fab)・定常領域(Fc)ともに機能を有したモノクローナル抗体が作成されていると考える。続いて、培養ケラチノサイトに刺激をすると抗原の細胞内取り込みが行われることをウエスタンブロットにて確認した。
2)C1qの結合を阻害する標的薬・抗体の作成
抗体とC1qの結合を特異的に阻害する合成ペプチドを作成した。1)で行った補体結合試験に合成ペプチドを添加したところ、濃度依存的にC1qと抗体の結合阻害が生じた。一方で、小分子化合物を複数同様に試したが、いずれの化合物においても高濃度でも明らかな結合阻害効果は確認できなかった。
3)ケラチノサイトによる補体C1qの産生
ケラチノサイトを上記で作成した抗体刺激をした後に、補体C1qの遺伝子発現およびタンパク発現を検証したところ、病原性抗体で有意な遺伝子発現の上昇が認められた。しかし、ウエスタンブロットによるタンパク発現では検出できなかったため再検証を行っている。

水疱性類天疱瘡は、高齢者に好発する最も頻度の高い自己免疫性水疱症である。皮膚の表皮と真皮を結合する表皮基底膜部に存在する17型コラーゲン(COL17、BP180)に対する自己抗体により発症する。自己抗体産生には自己反応性T細胞の働きが重要と考えられるが、COL17反応性T細胞の病原性は未だ解析されていない。本研究では、ヒトCOL17ペプチドで免疫したマウスのリンパ球を刺激し培養することで、ヒトCOL17反応性T細胞株の樹立に成功した。そのT細胞株はIFN-gammaを産生するCD4陽性エフェクターT細胞であった。このT細胞株はマウスの体内で弱い病原性を示した。

自己免疫疾患の一つ後天性表皮水疱症のモデルマウスを用いて、経皮免疫法で病気の発症を誘導することを試みた。従来の方法と比べ工夫した点は、免疫方法をアジュバントと呼ばれる強力な免疫賦活剤をもちいる皮下注射法の代わりに抗原を皮膚に塗布して免疫する手法で行った。この際、マウスの皮膚に直接抗原を塗布するのではなく、抗原提示を効率的に行えるようにするためTh17細胞あるいは抗原提示細胞が活性化した状態をイミキモドクリームを外用して誘導した。免疫効果は弱いがアジュバントを用いずに抗体産生を誘導することに成功した。

制御性T細胞(Treg)は免疫自己寛容に重要な役割を果たすTリンパ球で、マスター転写因子はFoxp3である。Foxp3遺伝子変異によってTregが欠損すると、マウスではScurfyマウス、ヒトではIPEX症候群という重篤な全身性自己免疫疾患が生じる。本研究では、Tregが欠損することで、表皮基底膜部に対する自己抗体が産生されることが明らかとなった。また、その自己抗体は、ScurfyマウスおよびIPEX症候群患者いずれにおいても、水疱性類天疱瘡抗原であるBP230と17型コラーゲンを標的としていた。以上より、Treg欠損は水疱性類天疱瘡の発症誘因となっている可能性が示唆された。

ヘミデスモゾーム構成分子の一つであるXVII型コラーゲン(COL17)は表皮真皮間接合に重要で、遺伝子異常に伴い発現が欠損すると表皮水疱症(EB)の一型を発症する。また後天的にCOL17に対し自己免疫応答を生じると、自己免疫水疱症である水疱性類天疱瘡(BP)を発症する。本研究では、Tet-onシステムを応用し、ドキシサイクリン(DOX)投与によりヒトCOL17の発現を制御可能な遺伝子改変(Tg)マウスを作製した。TgマウスへDOXを経口投与すると、ヒトCOL17が皮膚で新たに発現し、抗ヒトCOL17抗体を生じた。本モデルは、EBやBPの病態解明と治療法開発に有用であると期待できる。

水疱性類天疱瘡は17型コラーゲン(COL17)に対する自己抗体によって発症する自己免疫性水疱症で、補体活性化とそれに引き続く炎症細胞浸潤が発症に不可欠と考えられているが、補体非依存性の機序も提唱されている。我々は補体欠損COL17ヒト化マウスと抗COL17モノクローナル抗体を作製し、水疱形成には補体活性化ではなく抗体沈着そのものが重要であることを明らかにした。また、患者自己抗体が培養角化細胞のCOL17に結合すると、COL17はユビキチン化されプロテアソームで分解されることを示した。以上より、水疱形成には補体活性化は必須ではなく、抗体結合によるCOL17の減少が重要であることが明らかとなった。

水疱性類天疱瘡(BP)モデルマウスおよびサイトカインノックアウト(KO)マウスを用いて、BPにおけるT細胞サブセットの役割を解析した。IL-12KOマウスおよびIL-4KOマウスを用いてアクティブBPマウスモデルを作成した。IL-12KOマウス脾細胞レシピエントではIgG1の沈着が強く見られ(Th2型反応)、IL-4KOマウス脾細胞レシピエントではIgG2の沈着がより強く見られたが(Th1型反応)、補体の沈着や皮疹の程度はほぼ同等であった。以上より、サイトカインのノックアウトは抗体サブクラスに差異をもたらすものの、抗体産生量やBPマウスモデルの表現型、補体活性化に明らかな差をもたらさないことが示唆された。
