摘要
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a subepidermal blistering skin disease with a complex pathogenesis involving various immune cells. However, the transcriptional features of these cells remain poorly defined. Here, we construct a comprehensive and single-cell resolution atlas of various immune cells within BP skin lesions via integrative single-cell analysis, flow cytometry and multiplex immunohistochemistry. We observed prominent expansion and transcriptional changes in mast cells, macrophages, basophils, and neutrophils within BP lesions. Mast cells within the lesions adopted an active state and exhibited an elevated capacity for producing pro-inflammatory mediators. We observed an imbalance of macrophages/dendritic cells within BP lesions. Two macrophage subpopulations (NLRP3+ and C1q+) with distinct transcriptional profiles were identified and up-regulated effector programs. T peripheral helper (Tph)-like Th2 cells were expanded in skin lesions and peripheral blood of BP patients and were capable of promoting B cell responses. Additionally, we observed clonally expanded GZMB+ CD8+ T cells within BP lesions. Chemokine-receptor mapping revealed the potential roles of macrophages and mast cells in recruiting pathogenic immune cells and underlying mechanisms within BP lesions. Thus, this study reveals key immune-pathogenic features of BP lesions, thereby providing valuable insights for potential therapeutic interventions in this disease.
