Journal Article
TCR repertoire profiling revealed antigen-driven CD8+ T cell clonal groups shared in synovial fluid of patients with spondyloarthritis
2022
Overview
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) comprises a number of inflammatory rheumatic diseases with overlapping clinical manifestations. Strong association with several HLA-I alleles and T cell infiltration into an inflamed joint suggest involvement of T cells in SpA pathogenesis. In this study, we performed high-throughput T cell repertoire profiling of synovial fluid (SF) and peripheral blood (PB) samples collected from a large cohort of SpA patients. We showed that synovial fluid is enriched with expanded T cell clones that are shared between patients with similar HLA genotypes and persist during recurrent synovitis. Using an algorithm for identification of TCRs involved in immune response we discovered several antigen-driven CD8+ clonal groups associated with risk HLA-B*27 or HLA-B*38 alleles. We further show that these clonal groups were enriched in SF and had higher frequency in PB of SpA patients vs healthy donors, implying their relevance to SpA pathogenesis. Several of the groups were shared among patients with different SpAs that suggests a common immunopathological mechanism of the diseases. In summary, our results provide evidence for the role of specific CD8+ T cell clones in pathogenesis of SpA.
