Immunometabolic Analysis of Synovial Fluid from Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Patients.
ImmunoHorizons 2022 November 2
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is an inflammatory rheumatic disorder. Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are present in JIA synovial fluid (SF), but with variable frequency. SF PMNs in JIA were previously shown to display high exocytic but low phagocytic and immunoregulatory activities. To further assess whether the degree of SF neutrophilia associated with altered immune responses in JIA, we collected SF and blood from 16 adolescent JIA patients. SF and blood leukocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry. SF and plasma were used for immune mediator quantification and metabolomics. Healthy donor blood T cells were cultured in SF to evaluate its immunoregulatory activities. PMN and T cell frequencies were bimodal in JIA SF, delineating PMN high/T cell low (PMNHigh) and PMN low/T cell high (PMNLow) samples. Proinflammatory mediators were increased in SF compared with plasma across patients, and pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators were further elevated in PMNHigh SF. Compared to blood, SF PMNs showed increased exocytosis and programmed death-1/programmed death ligand-1 expression, and SF PMNs and monocytes/macrophages had increased surface-bound arginase-1. SPADE analysis revealed SF monocyte/macrophage subpopulations coexpressing programmed death-1 and programmed death ligand-1, with higher expression in PMNHigh SF. Healthy donor T cells showed reduced coreceptor expression when stimulated in PMNHigh versus PMNLow SF. However, amino acid metabolites related to the arginase-1 and IDO-1 pathways did not differ between the two groups. Hence, PMN predominance in the SF of a subset of JIA patients is associated with elevated immune mediator concentration and may alter SF monocyte/macrophage phenotype and T cell activation, without altering immunoregulatory amino acids.
