Adjuvant arthritis in rats is induced by a T cell clone specific for amino acids 180-188 of the mycobacterial 65-kD heat-shock protein, and synovial T cell responses to this same Ag have been noted in human arthritis. We have isolated 65-kD Ag-specific T cell clones from synovial fluid mononuclear cells of a patient with acute arthritis, which, unlike the corresponding PBMC, showed a marked proliferative response to the 65-kD Ag. Using synthetic peptides corresponding to the whole sequence of the 65-kD Ag, all the clones were shown to recognize an epitope present in the first NH2-terminal peptide (amino acids 1-15), with no response to the adjacent peptide (amino acids 6-22) or to any other peptide. The complete dominance of this epitope in the response to the 65-kD Ag was shown by documenting responses to the peptide in PBMC obtained after recovery from the arthritis. This epitope, like that recognized by the rat arthritogenic T cell clone, is in a portion of the 65-kD sequence that is not conserved between bacteria and eukaryotes, so that in this case, joint inflammation could not be attributed to bacteria-induced T cell clones cross-reacting with the self 65-kD Ag.

Background:Recently a group of T-cell clones with characteristic T-cell receptor (TCR) motif was identified in peripheral blood and synovial fluid of HLA-B*27+ patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) [1-2] - a prototypic disease from a wider group of spondyloarthropathies (SpAs). Extraarticular manifestations of AS could involve skin, intestine or eye. Emerging data indicate linkage between intestinal and joint inflammation, including expression of gut-associated integrins on synovial T-cells [3-4]. However, clonal T-cell composition and presence of identical clones in different inflamed sites in SpAs remains poorly studied.Objectives:To investigate clonal T-cell repertoire and presence of AS-related TCR motif in different sites of inflammation of patients with SpA.Methods:Samples of synovial fluid (SF) were obtained from HLA-B*27+ and HLA-B*27- patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), as well as gut biopsy samples from patients with AS and Crohn’s disease (AS/CD) or ulcerative colitis (AS/UC), and conjunctival swabs from patients with uveitis (Uv) and with or without articular manifestations (Table 1). Also SF and gut biopsy samples were obtained from HLA-B*27+ patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). For one patient PsA patient paired samples of SF and gut biopsy were obtained.Table 1.Detection of the AS-related motif TRBV9_CASS[V/A/L/P][G/A] [L/T/V][F/Y]STDTQYF_TRBJ2-3 in bTCR repertoires of samples from different inflamed sites of patients with SpATissueDiagnosisB27+B27-AS-related TCR motif+ among all samples from B27+ donorsSynovial fluidAS2012PsAJIAIntestinal biopsyAS/CD433 / 4AS/UCJLAConjunctival swabUv804 / 8SF and gut samples were processed to isolate mononuclear cells, while conjunctival swabs were directly lysed in the lysis buffer. CD3+ β7-intergin+ cells were isolated from SF by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Deep TCR repertoire profiling was carried out using UMI-based cDNA library preparation technology [1].Results:Identical T-cell clonotypes were detected between paired SF and gut samples of the same patient with psoriatic arthritis and intestinal inflammation. The subpopulation of β7-intergin+ SF T-cells shared significantly more identical clonotypes with gut biopsy repertoire compared to the bulk SF T-cell repertoire.Clonotypes belonging to the AS-related TCR beta motif TRBV9_CASS[V/A/L/P][G/A][L/T/V][F/Y]STDTQYF_TRBJ2-3 were detected in all inflamed tissues tested: synovial fluid, intestinal biopsies and conjunctival swabs of SpA patients (Table 1). Importantly, we observed these clonotypes exclusively in samples from HLA-B*27+ donors (n=26), but not in HLA-B27- context (n=15) with comparable analysis depth, thus confirming strong HLA-B*27-restriction of the clonotypes. The AS-related clonotypes were detected in the subpopulation of β7-intergin+ SF T-cells from HLA-B*27+ patients with PsA.Conclusion:For the first time we directly report the T-cell clonal sharing between synovial fluid and inflamed gut tissue of SpA patients. In sum our data suggests involvement of identical T-cell clones in inflammation in different anatomical sites in SpA.References:[1]Komech et al.
