Description:
METHODS OF DETECTING SJÖGREN’S SYNDROME USING SALIVARY EXOSOMES RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to, and the benefit of, U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/222,823, filed July 16, 2021, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease in which inflammation progressively damages the moisture-producing glands such as the salivary glands and tear glands. An estimated four million Americans are thought to suffer from the disease with estimated 2.5 million undiagnosed, 90% of which are women with an average age of 40. The symptoms of SS overlap with other health conditions and co-morbidities, including other inflammatory diseases and disorders, other auto-immune diseases, allergies, drug side effects and menopause. Moreover, the diagnostic criteria have changed multiple times because autoantibodies are not present in all patients and salivary gland biopsy material can be difficult to obtain and pathologists may not correctly apply standard diagnostic criteria, making SS difficult to diagnose. In fact, the average time to diagnosis is currently three years. While several biomarker diagnostic tests have been developed for Sjögren’s syndrome, the gold standard remains the biopsy of salivary glands, which is an invasive, expensive, and time-consuming procedure with a potential side effect of permanent lip numbness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0058] The present disclosure provides methods of identifying and treating Sjögren’s syndrome in a subject in need thereof. [0059] Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease in which inflammation progressively damages the moisture producing glands such as the salivary glands and the tear glands. Symptoms can include dry, irritated and red eyes, dry mouth and difficulty swallowing. Four million Americans are estimated to be suffering from the disease, 90% of which are women with an average age of 40. [0060] Overlapping symptoms with other health conditions and co-morbidities make SS particularly difficult to diagnose, with average time to diagnosis of 3 years. Currently, diagnosis of SS is performed by either: a) measuring levels of SS-A (Ro) protein in a biological sample from a subject (about 70% of subjects with SS test positive for SS-A); b) measuring levels of SS-B (La) protein in a biological sample from a subject (about 40% of subjects with SS test positive for SS-B); c) measuring levels of anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) in a biological sample from a subject (about 70% of subjects with SS test positive for ANA) but ANA is also a marker for other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus; d) measuring levels of rheumatoid factor (RF) in a biological sample from a subject (about 60%-70% of subjects with SS test positive for RF, but RF is also a marker for other rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosis); or e) performing a salivary gland biopsy (typically from the lower lip) to confirm inflammatory cell infiltration of the minor salivary glands. Of all the current diagnostic methods, salivary gland biopsy is considered the “gold standard”. However, biopsy is an invasive, expensive, and time-consuming procedure. Moreover, biopsy can could potentially lead to permanent lip numbness. Thus, there is a clear need in the art for a less-invasive, inexpensive and easy-to- administer diagnostic test for SS. [0061] Analysis of salivary exosomes has primarily focused on small RNAs and has been limited due to the large contribution of sequencing reads from the oral microbiome. In fact, previous studies that analyzed microvesicular RNA extracted from salivary microvesicles found that ~60-95% of sequencing reads mapped to exogenous (i.e. microbial) genomes and transcriptomes. The methods of the present disclosure overcome these previous limitations and unexpectedly allows for the analysis of mRNAs and long intervening/intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) in nucleic acids extracted from salivary microvesicles. For the purpose of the present disclosure microvesicular RNA, interchangeable with extracellular RNA (exRNA) or cell-free RNA, describes RNA species present outside of the cells in which they were transcribed. Carried within extracellular vesicles, lipoproteins, and protein complexes, exRNAs are protected from ubiquitous RNA-degrading enzymes. exRNAs may be found in the environment or, in multicellular organisms, within the tissues or biological fluids such as venous blood, saliva, breast milk, vaginal fluid, urine, semen, and menstrual blood.

The method of any of the preceding embodiments, wherein the saliva sample is collected at the subject’s home through the use of a sample home-collection device. [00276] Examples [00277] Example 1 [00278] About 1 ml of saliva was collected from seven subjects with Sjögren’s syndrome and seven healthy subjects who did not have Sjögren’s syndrome. Microvesicles were isolated from the saliva samples using the methods of the present disclosure. Microvesicular RNA was extracted from the isolated microvesicles and the RNA was analyzed using next- generation sequencing. As part of the next-generation sequencing analysis, hybrid-capture was used to enrich for human exome transcripts and long intervening/intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs). ERCC RNA spike-in mix was also used as a control. Hybrid-capture was also used to enrich for human transcripts of any size of a defined panel of genes consisting of at least two genes, and in any combination with lincRNA and ERCC RNA as a control. [00279] As shown in FIG. 1, over 80% of the sequencing reads from the analysis of the microvesicular RNA were mapped to the human transcriptome. This is in stark contrast with results from existing studies, which reported less than 20% of human reads in nucleic acids extracted from exosomal RNA isolated from saliva samples (e.g. Rozowsky et al., Cell Press, 8:352-357.e3., 2019; Yeri et al. Scientific Reports, 7, 44061, 2017). Thus, the methods of the present disclosure, for the first time, allow for the significant enrichment of human nucleic acid transcripts and the substantial depletion of microbial nucleic acids in exosomal nucleic acids isolated from saliva. As shown in FIG. 2, although sample-to sample variability was observed in the biotype of the different sequencing reads, the sequencing reads from most sample results in over 75% protein coding reads. As shown in FIG. 3, most samples had over 70% of on-target reads that corresponded with a transcript that was targeted for hybrid- capture. As shown in FIG. 4, at a sequencing depth of just 10 M reads, over 10,000 protein coding genes were detected from saliva exosomes. Significant proportion of these genes had more than 80% gene body coverage. [00280] Differential expression analysis of the sequencing results from the Sjögren’s syndrome patients and healthy patients showed that there were approximately 438 genes that were upregulated in Sjögren’s syndrome samples. Of these 438 genes, 359 were mRNAs and 13 were lincRNAs. The differential expression analysis also showed that 198 genes were downregulated in Sjögren’s syndrome samples. Of these 198 genes, 175 were mRNAs and 3 were lincRNAs. An enrichment in interferon alpha, interferon beta and interferon gamma response genes was observed in the Sjögren’s syndrome samples. FIG. 7 shows a graph depicting certain groups of genes that were enriched in either Sjögren’s syndrome samples or healthy samples. As shown in FIG. 5, principle component analysis using all genes or mRNAs differentiates between Sjögren’s syndrome samples and healthy samples. As shown in Table 1, the upregulated genes in the Sjögren’s syndrome samples included OAS1, OAS2, IRF5, IFIT1 and IFIT3. Table 1 [00281] Feature selection was performed on the differentially expressed genes and 37 genes were identified: ABHD4, AQP1, ATF3, CDK7, CLEC5A, COG4, CPNE2, CYBB, ELOVL1, ETV7, GPR183, GTPBP4, HACE1, HIRA, ING1, IRF5, LAP3, MED30, MXD3, NDFIP1, PCED1B-AS1, RETSTAT, RFTN1, RPS14, SCAP, SEC23A, SEPT5, SIK1, SLC8B1, SLC04C1, SNTB2, TMEM60, TNFAIP8L2, U2AF1, UQCRC2, ZNF395, ZSCAN9. As shown in FIG. 6, principle component analysis using these 37 genes differentiates between Sjögren’s syndrome samples and healthy samples. [00282] Further analysis of the five upregulated genes described above and the 37 genes identified by feature selection yielded a gene signature comprising seven genes: IFIT3, OAS1, OAS2, IFIT1, TMEM60, ZNF395, CPNE2. A gene signature comprising these seven genes was successfully identified the presence or absence of Sjögren’s syndrome in subjects, as demonstrated in FIG. 10, which shows leave-one out cross-validation analysis of the gene signature. Further, the expression of each of the seven genes in healthy samples vs. Sjögren’s syndrome samples was further analyzed, and the results are shown in FIG. 11. As shown in FIG. 11 and Tables 2 and 3, IFIT3, OAS1, OAS2, IFIT1, TMEM60 and CPNE2 were upregulated in Sjögren’s syndrome samples as compared to healthy samples, while ZNF395 was downregulated in Sjögren’s syndrome samples as compared to healthy samples. Table 2 Table 3 [00283] The analysis presented in FIGs. 10 and 11, and Tables 2 and 3, demonstrate that these seven genes, both individually, and in various combinations, can be used to identify the presence or absence of Sjögren’s syndrome in a subject. [00284] Taken together, these results demonstrate that microvesicular RNA isolated from saliva samples can be used to differentiate between subjects having Sjögren’s syndrome and subject that do not have Sjögren’s syndrome. [00285] Example 2 [00286] About 1 ml of saliva was collected from seven subjects with Sjögren’s syndrome and eleven healthy subjects who did not have Sjögren’s syndrome. Microvesicles were isolated from the saliva samples using the methods of the present disclosure. Microvesicular RNA was extracted from the isolated microvesicles and the RNA was analyzed using next- generation sequencing. As part of the next-generation sequencing analysis, hybrid-capture was used to enrich for human exome transcripts and long intervening/intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs). ERCC RNA spike-in mix was also used as a control. Hybrid-capture was also used to enrich for human transcripts of any size of a defined panel of genes consisting of at least two genes as a subset of the human transcriptome, and in any combination with lincRNA and ERCC RNA as a control. [00287] As shown in FIG. 8, in the majority of the samples, over 80% of the sequencing reads from the analysis of the microvesicular RNA were mapped to the human transcriptome. As shown in FIG. 9, although sample-to sample variability was observed in the biotype of the different sequencing reads, the sequencing reads from most sample results in protein coding reads. Thus, like Example 1, the methods of the present disclosure, for the first time, allow for the significant enrichment of human nucleic acid transcripts and the substantial depletion of microbial nucleic acids in exosomal nucleic acids isolated from saliva.
