To determine the cellular and molecular basis of Castleman Disease (CD), we analyze the spatial proteome and transcriptome from a discovery (n = 9 cases) and validation (n = 13 cases) cohort of Unicentric CD, idiopathic Multicentric CD, HHV8-associated MCD, and reactive lymph nodes. CD shows increased stromal cells that form unique microenvironments. Interaction of activated follicular dendritic cell (FDC) cytoplasmic meshworks with mantle-zone B cells is associated with B-cell activation and differentiation. CXCL13+ FDCs, PDGFRA + T-zone reticular cells (TRC), and ACTA2-positive perivascular reticular cells (PRC) were the predominant source of increased VEGF expression and IL-6 signaling. MCD is characterized by increased TRC while UCD shows increased B-reticular cells (BRC). VEGF expression by FDCs is associated with peri-follicular neovascularization. FDC, TRC and PRC of CD activates JAK-STAT, TGFβ, and MAPK pathways via specific ligand-receptor interactions. Here, we show that stromal-cell activation and associated B cell activation and differentiation, neovascularization and stromal remodeling underlie CD.
为了确定卡斯特曼病(CD)的细胞和分子基础,我们分析了来自单中心CD、特发性多中心CD、HHV8相关MCD和反应性淋巴结的发现队列(n = 9例)和验证队列(n = 13例)的空间蛋白质组和转录组。CD显示形成独特微环境的基质细胞增加。活化的滤泡树突状细胞(FDC)细胞质网络与套区B细胞的相互作用与B细胞活化和分化相关。CXCL13 + FDC、PDGFRA + T区网状细胞(TRC)和ACTA2阳性血管周围网状细胞(PRC)是VEGF表达增加和IL-6信号传导的主要来源。MCD的特征是TRC增加,而UCD显示B网状细胞(BRC)增加。FDC的VEGF表达与滤泡周围新血管形成相关。CD的FDC、TRC和PRC通过特定的配体-受体相互作用激活JAK-STAT、TGFβ和MAPK途径。在这里,我们表明基质细胞活化以及相关的B细胞活化和分化、新血管形成和基质重塑是CD的基础。
