Project description:The role of myeloid cells in supporting cancer growth is well established. Most work has focused on myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) that accumulate in tumor-bearing animals, but tumor-associated neutrophils (TAN) are also known to be capable of augmenting tumor growth. However, little is known about their evolution, phenotype, and relationship to naive neutrophils (NN) and to the granulocytic fraction of MDSC (G-MDSC). In the current study, a transcriptomics approach was used in mice to compare these cell types. Our data show that the three populations of neutrophils are significantly different in their mRNA profiles with NN and G-MDSC being more closely related to each other than to TAN. Structural genes and genes related to cell-cytotoxicity (i.e. respiratory burst) were significantly down-regulated in TAN. In contrast, many immune-related genes and pathways, including genes related to the antigen presenting complex (e.g. all six MHC-II complex genes), and cytokines (e.g. TNF-a, IL-1-a/b), were up-regulated in G-MDSC, and further up-regulated in TAN. Thirteen of the 25 chemokines tested were markedly up-regulated in TAN compared to NN, including striking up-regulation of chemoattractants for T/B-cells, neutrophils and macrophages. This study characterizes different populations of neutrophils related to cancer, pointing out the major differences between TAN and the other neutrophil populations. Various types of myeloid cells have been shown to promote tumor progression by direct immune suppression and by production of angiogenic factors, matrix-degrading enzymes, or growth factors. In untreated tumors, neutrophils have been reported to produce angiogenic factors and matrix-degrading enzymes, support the acquisition of a metastatic phenotype, and suppress the anti-tumor immune response. Neutrophils, like all other leukocytes, move into tissues from the blood under the influence of specific chemokines (e.g. KC/CXCL-1, MIP-2a/CXCL-2 and GCP-2/CXCL-6), cytokines (e.g. TNFa and IFN-x), and cell adhesion molecules located on their own surface (e.g. CD11b) and on the surface of endothelial cells (e.g. selectins, ICAM-1 and PECAM-1). When they traffic into tumors, they are referred to as TAN. In mice, TAN can be defined by the specific surface markers CD11b and Ly6G with low expression of macrophage markers such as F4/80. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are a heterogeneous population of immune suppressive cells that are produced excessively in cancer. They comprise at least two subsets -granulocytic (Ly6G+, G-MDSC) and monocytic cells (Ly6C+, M-MDSC), potentially with different immunosuppressive properties. It has been previously shown that MDSC can enter tumors and differentiate to mature macrophages (TAM) or neutrophils (TAN). However, since no definitive markers have been established, it is unknown whether intratumoral N2 neutrophils (N2 TAN) are granulocytic MDSC from spleen that are attracted to the tumor or if they are typical blood-derived neutrophils that are then converted to an N2 phenotype by the tumor microenvironment, specifically by the high local concentrations of TGF-b. The purpose of this study was to use a transcriptomics approach to gain further information about TANs by comparing the RNA profile of these cells to naive bone-marrow neutrophils (NN) and to the granulocytic fraction of myeloid derived suppressor cells (G-MDSC). We examined which pathways and gene-groups varied amongst these 3 populations of neutrophils and performed a detailed analysis on pathways related to the main functions of neutrophils, such as respiratory burst, granule proteins, phagocytosis, apoptosis, structural genes, antigen presentation and specific immune effects. Our data defines TAN as a unique population of neutrophils, quite distinct from both NN and G-MDSC.

Project description:Atglflox/flox (B6N.129S-Pnpla2tm1Eek/J), S100A8-cre+/- (B6.Cg-Tg(S100A8-cre,-EGFP)1Ilw/J) mice were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory. Atglflox/flox mice were bred to S100A8-cre+/- mice to generate Atglflox/WTS100A8-cre+/- mice, which were backcrossed onto Atglflox/flox mice to generate Atglflox/floxS100A8-cre+/- mice (Atgl neutrophils-specific knock out, Atgl-cKO). Age-matched littermate Atglflox/flox mice were used as wild-type (WT) controls. To compare of the gene expression of the lung-infiltrating neutrophils isolated from Atgl-cKO mice and their WT littermates, AT3-g-csf cells were injected into the fourth mammary fat pads of female WT and Atgl-cKO mice (10-week-old, n = 4/group). The AT3-g-csf cell line is based on a murine breast cancer cell line (AT3) derived from MMTV-PyMT tumors in the C57BL/6 background, and further constructed to overexpress granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for induction of the host inflammatory condition. At day 10 (pre-metastatic stage), the mice were euthanized and then Ly6G+ neutrophils were isolated from lung by using anti-Ly6G MicroBead Kit (Miltenyi Biotec) following manufacturer’s instructions. The isolated neutrophils were analyzed by flow cytometry and the cells with a > 95% purity were used for the next procedure. Total RNA was isolated from neutrophils using the miRNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen) and the transcriptional profiles of neutrophils were analyzed by RNA sequencing.

Project description:Neutrophils are one of the first responders to infection and are a key component of the innate immune system through their ability to phagocytose and kill invading pathogens, secrete antimicrobial molecules and produce extracellular traps. Neutrophils are produced in the bone marrow, circulate within the blood and upon immune challenge migrate to the site of infection. We wanted to understand whether this transition shapes the mouse neutrophil protein landscape, how the mouse neutrophil proteome is impacted by systemic infection and perform a comparative analysis of human and mouse neutrophils. Using quantitative mass spectrometry we reveal tissue-specific, infection-induced and species-specific neutrophil protein signatures. We show a high degree of proteomic conservation between mouse bone marrow, blood and peritoneal neutrophils, but also identify key differences in the molecules that these cells express for sensing and responding to their environment. Systemic infection triggers a change in the bone marrow neutrophil population with considerable impact on the core machinery for protein synthesis and DNA replication along with environmental sensors. We also reveal profound differences in mouse and human blood neutrophils, particularly their granule contents and their receptor repertoires. Our proteomics data provides a valuable resource for understanding neutrophil function and phenotypes across species and model systems.

Project description:Inflammation has pleiotropic effects on carcinogenesis and tumor progression. Signaling through the adaptor protein MyD88 promotes carcinogenesis in several chemically induced cancer models. Interestingly, we observed a protective role for MyD88 in the development of AOM/DSS colitis-associated cancer. The inability of Myd88-/- mice to heal ulcers generated upon injury creates an inflammatory environment that increases the frequency of mutations and results in a dramatic increase in adenoma formation and cancer progression. Susceptibility to colitis development and enhanced polyp formation were also observed in Il18-/- mice upon AOM/DSS treatment, suggesting that the phenotype of MyD88 knockouts is in part due to their inability to signal through the IL-18 receptor. This study revealed a previously unknown level of complexity surrounding MyD88 activities downstream of different receptors that differentially impact tissue homeostasis and carcinogenesis. The Myd88 knockout mice were backcrossed to obtain at least 98% congenicity to B6NCr background. As control groups, wild type mice of identical background were used. Ten biological repeats were performed for the treated wild type and Myd88 samples. Six biological repeats were performed for the untreated wild type and Myd88 samples.

Project description:G-CSF is a hemopoietic growth factor that has a role in steady state granulopoiesis, as well as in mature neutrophil activation and function. We developed a neutralizing monoclonal antibody to the murine G-CSF receptor (G-CSFR), which antagonizes binding of murine G-CSF and inhibits G-CSFR signalling. Anti-G-CSFR rapidly halts the progression of established disease in collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAbIA). Neutrophil accumulation in joints is inhibited, without rendering animals neutropenic, suggesting an effect on homing to inflammatory sites. Neutrophils in the blood and arthritic joints of anti-G-CSFR treated mice show alterations in cell adhesion receptors, while anti-G-CSFR suppresses local production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines known to drive tissue damage. Our aim in this study was to use differential gene expression analysis of joint and blood neutrophils to more thoroughly understand the effect of G-CSFR blockade on the inflammatory response following anti-G-CSFR therapy in CAbIA. C57BL/6 mice with collagen antibody-induced arthritis were injected intra-peritoneally at day 5 with 50 μg anti-G-CSFR (n = 20 mice) or control mAb (n = 10 mice). At day 7, neutrophils (CD45+ CD11bhi Ly6G+) were sorted (BD FACSAria) from pooled digests of the knee tissues, or peripheral blood, and the RNA was extracted from 3 such experiments, giving a total of 12 samples.

Project description:Nonresolving inflammation is correlated to carcinogenesis. Ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer (UC-CRC), one of the typical carcinoma generated by inflammation that cannot be resolved properly, has been widely believed to involve a multistep process contains M-bM-^@M-^\inflammation-dysplasia-cancerM-bM-^@M-^] sequence. The exact molecular mechanisms underlying the step-wise development of UC-CRC is still not fully understood. Detecting the changes in gene expression profiles may help to reveal why and how does the prolonged inflammatory response lead to carcinogenesis, and to characterize potential diagnostic/prognostic markers or additional therapeutic targets for UC-CRC. There for, we performed temporal genome expression profiling analysis using the Affymetrix genome wide microarray system to identify broad scale changes in gene expression associated with the development of colitis-associated cancer, based on an AOM/DSS induced mouse model of UC-CRC. 6-week-old male ICR mice were given a single intraperitoneal injection of AOM (10mg/kg) at Day 1, followed by three cycles of DSS administration (cycle 1: 2%, Day 8~14; cycle 2: 1.5%, Day 29~33; cycle 3: 1.5%, Day 50~54) in the drinking water. Instead, control group of mice were given a single intraperitoneal injection of saline (10mg/kg) at Day 1 and distilled water drinking from the beginning to the end without DSS. Colorectal tissues were collected at days 14, 28, 42, 56 and 140 (at the end of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 20th week) from the AOM/DSS group and at day 14 from the control group. Pathological changes of each sample were identified under microscope. Samples collected at the end of the 2nd week were inflamed mucosae, the 4th week were low grade dysplasias, the 6th week were high grade dysplasias, the 8th week were high grade dysplasias with active inflammation, the 20th week were carcinomas, and the control sample were normal mucosae. Total RNA were extracted and detected by Affymerix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array.

Project description:Neutrophils provide immune protection against pathogens but also may promote tissue injury in inflammatory diseases. Although neutrophils are generally considered as a relatively homogeneous population, evidence for heterogeneity is emerging. Under steady-state conditions, neutrophil heterogeneity may arise from ageing and the replenishment by newly released neutrophils from the bone marrow. We used microarray to globally analyze gene expression in aged neutrophils and characterize the inflammatory programs that are activated during the aging process in the circulation. Control, aged and activated neutrophils were sorted directly from mouse blood for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We transfused whole blood and harvested donor neutrophils marked by the CD45.1 allele 6h later to derive neutrophils that had truly aged in vivo. Sorted neutrophils were compared to control donor neutrophils that had been transferred for only 10 min. Additionally, we harvested circulating neutrophils from TNF-? treated mice for comparison with neutrophils activated by systemic inflammation.
