Gene expression profiles of peritoneal macrophages from Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor type 1 (S1pr1) overexpressing mice against control mice.

ABSTRACT: Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a lysosphingolipid with anti-atherogenic properties, but mechanisms underlying its effects remain unclear. We here analyzed the consequences of overexpressing the S1P receptor type 1 (S1pr1) on peritoneal macrophage gene expression. To amplify S1pr1 signaling in macrophages, double transgenic mice expressing mouse S1pr1 in mononuclear cells were constructed by crossing two lines. The S1pr1-KI line carries a transgenic cassette in the Rosa 26 locus harboring the mouse S1P1 cDNA and separated from the CAG promoter by a lox-Stop-lox insert. S1pr1-KI mice were then crossed to LysMCre mice expressing Cre recombinase under the control of the lysozyme M promoter, which drives macrophage expression. In the offspring the lox-Stop-lox insert is excised in Cre-expressing cells (macrophages), which induces cDNA expression driven by the CAG promoter. At 12 weeks of age, peritoneal leukocytes were isolated from S1pr1-LysMCre mice and control mice (S1pr1-KI) by peritoneal lavage and seeded in cell culture plates. After 2 h non-adherent cells were removed, total RNA was isolated from the remaining macrophages and subjected to microarray gene expression analysis.

Project description:Background: Myeloid cells (MCs) reside in the aortic intima at regions predisposed to atherosclerosis. Systemic inflammation triggers reverse transendothelial migration (RTM) of intimal MCs into arterial blood, which orchestrates a protective immune response that clears intracellular pathogens from the arterial intima. Molecular pathways that regulate RTM remain poorly understood. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a lipid mediator that regulates immune cell trafficking by signaling via five G protein-coupled receptors (S1PRs). We investigated the role of S1P in the RTM of aortic intimal MCs. Methods: Intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to model a systemic inflammatory stimulus that triggers RTM. CD11c+ intimal MCs in the lesser curvature of the ascending aortic arch were enumerated by en face confocal microscopy. Local gene expression was evaluated by transcriptomic analysis of microdissected intimal cells. Results: In wild-type C57BL/6 mice, LPS induced intimal cell expression of S1pr1, S1pr3, and sphingosine kinase 1 (Sphk1, a kinase responsible for S1P production). Pharmacological modulation of multiple S1PRs blocked LPS-induced RTM and modulation of S1PR1 and S1PR3 reduced RTM in an additive manner. Cre-mediated deletion of S1pr1 in MCs blocked LPS-induced RTM, confirming a role for myeloid-specific S1PR1 signaling. Global or hematopoietic deficiency of Sphk1 reduced plasma S1P levels, the abundance of CD11c+ MCs in the aortic intima and blunted LPS-induced RTM. In contrast, plasma S1P levels, the abundance of intimal MCs, and LPS-induced RTM were rescued in Sphk1-/- mice transplanted with Sphk1+/+ or mixed Sphk1 +/+ and -/- bone marrow. Stimulation with LPS increased endothelial permeability and intimal MC exposure to circulating factors such as S1P. Conclusions: Functional and expression studies support a novel role for S1P signaling in the regulation of LPS-induced RTM as well as the homeostatic maintenance of aortic intimal MCs. Our data provides insight into how circulating plasma mediators help orchestrate intimal MC dynamics.
