Differential analysis of GM-CSF-induced inflammatory monocyte-derived cells (MCs) isolated from various organs

ABSTRACT: Elevated frequencies of GM-CSF-producing helper T (TH) cells are consistently found in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and GM-CSF expression is a non-redundant feature of pathogenic TH cells in preclinical models of MS. GM-CSF activates an inflammatory signature in monocytes, and their progeny are the most abundant cellular infiltrate in acute MS lesions. To model deregulated GM-CSF levels, we generated a transgenic mouse line allowing the induction of GM-CSF expression in mature, peripheral TH cells. This antigen-independent GM-CSF release induced severe neurological deficits with almost 100% penetrance, accompanied by the infiltration of inflammatory monocyte-derived myeloid cells into the brain stem and spinal cord. Other organs did not show obvious signs for clinical pathology, despite also being infiltrated by inflammatory myeloid cells. We aim to unravel differences between organs, their responses and also the potential of tissue destruction by infiltrating cells by sequencing inflammatory myeloid cells isolate from the individual organs.

NK cell-derived GM-CSF is critical for enhancing pathological arthritis

Project description:GM-CSF is involved in immune complex (IC)-mediated arthritis. However, little is known about what is the cellular source of GM-CSF and how it is regulated during IC-mediated inflammation. Using novel GM-CSF reporter mice, we show that NK cells produce GM-CSF during an IC-mediated model of inflammatory arthritis. NK cells promoted STIA in a GM-CSF-dependent manner, as deletion of NK cells and selective removal of GM-CSF production by NK cells abrogated disease. Furthermore, we show that myeloid cell activation by GM-CSF is restrained by induction of JAK/STAT checkpoint inhibitor cytokine-inducible SH2-containing protein, CIS. Myeloid cells from CIS-deficient mice had exaggerated responses to GM-CSF, and these mice develop exacerbated STIA. Our data suggest that tissue NK cells may amplify joint inflammation in arthritis via GM-CSF production and thus represent a novel target in IC-mediated pathology. Endogenous CIS provides a key brake on signaling through the GM-CSF receptor and strategies that boost its function may provide an alternative anti-inflammatory approach.

Single cell immune profiling reveals a developmentally distinct CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cell lineage that induces GI tract GVHD

Project description:Gastrointestinal (GI) tract involvement is a major determinant for subsequent morbidity and mortality arising during graft versus host disease (GVHD). CD4+ T cells that produce GM-CSF have emerged as central mediators of inflammation in this tissue site as GM-CSF serves as a critical cytokine link between the adaptive and innate arms of the immune system. However, cellular heterogeneity within the CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cell population due to the concurrent production of other inflammatory cytokines has raised questions as to whether these cells have a common ontology or if there exists a unique CD4+ GM-CSF+ subset that differs from other defined T helper (TH) subtypes. Using single cell RNA sequencing analysis, we identified two CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cell populations that arose during GVHD and were distinguishable by the presence or absence of IFN-γ co-expression. CD4+ GM-CSF+ IFN-γ- T cells which emerged preferentially in the colon had a distinct transcriptional profile, employed unique gene regulatory networks, and possessed a non-overlapping TCR repertoire when compared to CD4+ GM-CSF+ IFN-γ+ T cells as well as all other transcriptionally defined CD4+ T cell populations in the colon. Functionally, this CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cell population contributed to pathological damage in the GI tract which was critically dependent upon signaling through the IL-7 receptor but was independent of type 1 interferon signaling. Thus, these studies help to unravel heterogeneity within CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cells that arise during GVHD and define a developmentally distinct colitogenic TH GM-CSF+ subset that mediates immunopathology.

Transcription factor RUNX3 mediates plasticity of ThGM cells toward Th1 phenotype.

Project description:GM-CSF-producing T helper (Th) cells play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent studies have identified a distinct population of GM-CSF-producing Th cells, named ThGM cells, that also express cytokines TNF, IL-2, and IL-3, but lack expression of master transcription factors (TF) and signature cytokines of commonly recognized Th cell lineages. ThGM cells are highly encephalitogenic in a mouse model of MS, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Similar to Th17 cells, in response to IL-12, ThGM cells upregulate expression of T-bet and IFN-g and switch their phenotype to Th1. Here we show that in addition to T-bet, TF RUNX3 also contributes to the Th1 switch of ThGM cells. T-bet-deficient ThGM cells in the CNS of mice with EAE had low expression of RUNX3, and knockdown of RUNX3 expression in ThGM cells abrogated the Th1-inducing effect of IL-12. Comparison of ThGM and Th1 cell transcriptomes showed that ThGM cells expressed a set of TFs known to inhibit the development of other Th lineages. Lack of expression of lineage-specific cytokines and TFs by ThGM cells, together with expression of TFs that inhibit the development of other Th lineages, suggests that ThGM cells are a non-polarized subset of Th cells with lineage characteristics.

GM-CSF signaling strength determines opposing innate memory phenotypes at different stages of myelopoiesis

Project description:Inflammatory responses must be tightly coordinated with the activation of emergency myelopoiesis to produce potent myeloid cells that fight infection without causing self-damage. Here we show that GM-CSF programs myeloid committed progenitors to produce trained macrophages (increased cytokine response), but programs the upstream non-committed LKS+ progenitors to produce tolerized macrophages (decreased cytokine response). In myeloid progenitors, GM-CSF strongly activates STAT5, ERK and Akt-mTOR signaling pathways which are essential to establish a training program, whereas in LKS+ progenitors GM-CSF induces NF-κB translocation to the nucleus to establish a tolerization program. These differences arise from higher GM-CSF receptor expression in myeloid progenitors compared to LKS+ cells. We demonstrate that β-catenin regulation of NF-κB nuclear translocation is central in this process. Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) inactivation by strong ERK and PI3K-Akt signaling increases cytoplasmic β-catenin levels to block NF-κB nuclear translocation in myeloid progenitors. In contrast, when ERK and PI3K-Akt signaling is weak, active GSK3 decreases β-catenin to allow NF-κB nuclear translocation in LKS+ progenitors. Finally, GM-CSF-induced LKS+ tolerization can be reversed and takes place in several murine models of trained immunity and in human CD34+ CD38– progenitors. Our study reveals that in addition to activating myelopoiesis, GM-CSF also programs early and immediate myeloid progenitors to produce opposing immune memory phenotypes. We propose that the inflammatory response from immediate myeloid progenitors may be balanced by the tolerized phenotype of early progenitors, thus providing a mechanism for appropriate resolution of inflammation and protection against prolonged cytokine storm.

mRNA and long noncoding RNA expression microarrays in GM-CSF or GM-CSF+IL6-induced mouse MDSC

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have emerged as major regulators of immune responses in cancer and other pathological conditions. Multiple factors including cytokines, transcription factors and multiple signaling pathways are involved in MDSC differentiation. Cytokines such as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin(IL-6) etc could in vitro mediate development of MDSCs.IL-6 with GM-CSF mediated MDSC not only had stronger suppressive function but also the dynamics of their suppressive function was different from GM-CSF alone mediated MDSCs.To found a new regulatory factor (s) in tumor and inflammatory environments, we compared GM-CSF and IL-6 mediated MDSCs with GM-CSF alone mediated MDSCs using lncRNA microarray and protein-coding mRNA microarrays.

SIGNAL INTEGRATION AND TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATION OF THE INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE MEDIATED BY THE GM-/M-CSF SIGNALING AXIS IN HUMAN MONOCYTES [RNA-seq]

Project description:In recent years, the M-CSF and GM-CSF cytokines have been identified as opposing regulators of the inflammatory program. However, the two cytokines are simultaneously present in the inflammatory milieu, and it is not clear how cells integrate these signals. In order to understand the regulatory networks associated with the GM/M-CSF signaling axis we analyzed DNA methylation in human monocytes. Our results indicate that GM-CSF induces activation of the inflammatory program and extensive DNA methylation changes, while M-CSF-polarized cells are in a less differentiated state. This inflammatory program is mediated via JAK2 associated with the GM-CSF receptor and the downstream ERK signaling. However, PI3K signaling is associated with a negative regulatory loop of the inflammatory program and M-CSF autocrine signaling in GM-CSF-polarized monocytes. Our findings describe the regulatory networks associated with the GM/M-CSF signaling axis and how they contribute to the establishment of the inflammatory program associated with monocyte activation.
