Transcription profiling of human neutrophils obtained after exposure endotoxin by bronchoscopic instillation reveals differential gene expression between air space and circulating neutrophils

ABSTRACT: Although the accumulation of neutrophils in the lungs and airways is common to many inflammatory lung diseases, including acute lung injury, the alterations that neutrophils undergo as they leave the peripheral circulation and migrate into the lungs have not been well characterized. Human volunteers were exposed to endotoxin by bronchoscopic instillation. The resulting air space neutrophil accumulation and peripheral blood neutrophils were isolated 16 h later, compared with circulating neutrophils isolated before or after to the pulmonary endotoxin exposure, and compared with circulating neutrophils exposed to endotoxin in vitro. Microarray analysis was performed on air space, circulatory, and in vitro endotoxin-stimulated neutrophils. Functional analysis included the determination of neutrophil apoptosis, chemotaxis, release of cytokines and growth factors, and superoxide anion release. Dramatic gene expression differences were apparent between air space and circulating neutrophils: approximately 15% of expressed genes have altered expression levels, including broad increases in inflammatory- and chemotaxis-related genes, as well as antiapoptotic and IKK-activating pathways. Functional analysis of air space compared with circulating neutrophils showed increased superoxide release, diminished apoptosis, decreased IL-8-induced chemotaxis, and a pattern of IL-8, macrophage inflammatory protein-1beta, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha release different from either unstimulated or LPS-stimulated circulating neutrophils. Many of these changes are not elicited by in vitro treatment with endotoxin. Limited differences were detected between circulating neutrophils isolated before and 16 h after pulmonary endotoxin instillation. These results suggest that neutrophils sequestered in the lung become fundamentally different from those resident in the circulation, and this difference is distinct from in vitro activation with endotoxin.

Project description:Lipocalin 24p3 (24p3) is a neutrophil secondary granule protein. 24p3 is also a siderocalin, which binds several bacterial siderophores. It was therefore proposed that synthesis and secretion of 24p3 by stimulated macrophages or release of 24p3 upon neutrophil degranulation sequesters iron-laden siderophores to attenuate bacterial growth. Accordingly, 24p3-deficient mice are susceptible to bacterial pathogens whose siderophores would normally be chelated by 24p3. Specific granule deficiency (SGD) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by complete absence of proteins in secondary granules. Neutrophils from SGD patients, who are prone to bacterial infections, lack normal functions but the potential role of 24p3 in neutrophil dysfunction in SGD is not known. Here we show that neutrophils from 24p3-deficient mice are defective in many neutrophil functions. Specifically, neutrophils in 24p3-deficient mice do not extravasate to sites of infection and are defective for chemotaxis. A transcriptome analysis revealed that genes that control cytoskeletal reorganization are selectively suppressed in 24p3-deficient neutrophils. Additionally, small regulatory RNAs (miRNAs) that control upstream regulators of cytoskeletal proteins are also increased in 24p3-deficient neutrophils. Further, 24p3-deficient neutrophils failed to phagocytose bacteria, which may account for the enhanced sensitivity of 24p3-deficient mice to both intracellular (Listeria monocytogenes) and extracellular (Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus) pathogens. Interestingly, Listeria does not secrete siderophores and additionally, the siderophore secreted by Candida is not sequestered by 24p3. Therefore, the heightened sensitivity of 24p3-deficient mice to these pathogens is not due to sequestration of siderophores limiting iron availability, but is a consequence of impaired neutrophil function. Key words: Lipocalin, 24p3, neutrophils, cell motility, chemotaxis, MIRNA-362-3p To address the role of lipocalin 2 in regulating miRNA expression profiling in neutrophils derived from mouse bone marrow, we performed microarray analysis of miRNAs in wild type (N=2) and lcn2 knockout (N=2) neutrophils.

Upon stimulation, neutrophils were treated by fMLP at 10 micromolar for 20 minutes at 37 centigrade.
