Immuno-metabolism of M1 macrophjages in leishmaniasis

ABSTRACT: The M1 polarization is important for the control of infection by Leishmania spp. They are characterized by the impaired Tricarboxylic Cycle (TCA cycle), production of pro inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin-12 (IL-12), Interferon gamma (IFNℽ) etc., and by generation of Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Nitric oxide (NO) that help in efficient parasite killing.

Immuno-metabolic signaling in leishmaniasis: insights gained from mathematical modeling.

<h4>Motivation</h4>Leishmaniasis is a global concern especially in underdeveloped and developing subtropical and tropical regions. The extent of infectivity in host is majorly dependent on functional polarization of macrophages. Classically activated M1 macrophage can eliminate parasite through production of iNOS and alternatively activated M2 macrophages can promote parasite growth through by providing shelter and nutrients to parasite. The biological processes involved in immune signaling and ...[more]

Project description:This a model from the article: Sequential polarization and imprinting of type 1 T helper lymphocytes by interferon-gamma and interleukin-12. Schulz EG, Mariani L, Radbruch A, Höfer T. Immunity.2009;30(5):666-8. 19409816, Abstract: Differentiation of naive T lymphocytes into type I T helper (Th1) cells requires interferon-gamma and interleukin-12. It is puzzling that interferon-gamma induces the Th1 transcription factor T-bet, whereas interleukin-12 mediates Th1 cell lineage differentiation. We use mathematical modeling to analyze the expression kinetics of T-bet, interferon-gamma, and the IL-12 receptor beta2 chain (IL-12Rbeta2) during Th1 cell differentiation, in the presence or absence of interleukin-12 or interferon-gamma signaling. We show that interferon-gamma induced initial T-bet expression, whereas IL-12Rbeta2 was repressed by T cell receptor (TCR) signaling. The termination of TCR signaling permitted upregulation of IL-12Rbeta2 by T-bet and interleukin-12 signaling that maintained T-bet expression. This late expression of T-bet, accompanied by the upregulation of the transcription factors Runx3 and Hlx, was required to imprint the Th cell for interferon-gamma re-expression. Thus initial polarization and subsequent imprinting of Th1 cells are mediated by interlinked, sequentially acting positive feedback loops of TCR-interferon-gamma-Stat1-T-bet and interleukin-12-Stat4-T-bet signaling.
