COPD is associated with a macrophage scavenger receptor-1 gene sequence variation.

ABSTRACT: Macrophages play an important role in COPD. We genotyped at-risk smokers to evaluate the role of polymorphisms in the macrophage scavenger receptor-1 gene (MSR1) in COPD susceptibility and related measures of lung function. Then, in macrophages from donors with specific MSR1 genotypes, we determined the effect of MSR1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on macrophage function by examining in vitro adhesion, receptor expression, and cell number in culture as an index of increased survival/reduced apoptosis.Smokers (> or = 20 pack-years) who were > 40 years (n = 714) were genotyped for seven SNPs; one nonsense change (ex6R293x_C/T), four missense changes (ex4V113A_T/C, ex4P174Y_G/T, ex11H441R_A/G, and in the ligand binding site ex6P275A_C/G), -176511_A/G in the promoter region, and IVS5-59_C/A in the intron. Nonsmoking healthy volunteers (n = 85) were genotyped, and peripheral blood monocytes were isolated from seven P275A_CG/GG and eight P275A_CC controls and cultured to generate monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). The effectiveness of trypsin and scraping to dislodge MDM was scored on a four-point subjective scale. MDM were counted on a Z1 particle counter and surface expression of MSR1 was determined by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis using secondary staining of antibodies against human macrophage scavenger receptor (MSR1).The MSR1-coding SNP P275A was associated with susceptibility to COPD in smokers (P < .005) and a lower percent predicted (pp) FEV(1), FEV(1)/FVC, and pp forced expiratory flow (FEF)(25-75) (P = .03). P275A_CG/GG was also associated with increases in maintenance of cell number in culture (increased survival/reduced apoptosis), MSR1 expression, and adhesion of macrophages to plastic in vitro (P < .05).The MSR1 association with COPD susceptibility, COPD-related measures of lung function, and abnormalities of macrophage function may account for significant COPD morbidity.

Project description:Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) are novel two-dimensional engineered nanomaterials consisting of planar stacks of graphene. Although human exposures are increasing, our knowledge is lacking regarding immune-specific responses to GNPs and mechanisms of interactions. Our current study utilizes a metabolite profiling approach to evaluate macrophage responses to GNPs. Furthermore, we assessed the role of the scavenger receptor CD36 in mediating these GNP-induced responses. GNPs were purchased with dimensions of 2 ?m × 2 ?m × 12 nm. Macrophages were exposed to GNPs at different concentrations of 0, 25, 50, or 100 ?g/ml for 1, 3, or 6 h. Following exposure, no cytotoxicity was observed, while GNPs readily associated with macrophages in a concentration-dependent manner. After the 1h-pretreatment of either a CD36 competitive ligand sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate (SSO) or a CD36 specific antibody, the cellular association of GNPs by macrophages was significantly reduced. GNP exposure was determined to alter mitochondrial membrane potential while the pretreatment with a CD36 antibody inhibited these changes. In a separate exposure, macrophages were exposed to GNPs at concentrations of 0, 50, or 100 ?g/mL for 1 or 3h or 100 ?M SSO (a CD36 specific ligand) for 1h and collected for metabolite profiling. Principal component analysis of identified compounds determined differential grouping based on exposure conditions. The number of compounds changed following exposure was determined to be both concentration- and time-dependent. Identified metabolites were determined to relate to several metabolism pathways such as glutathione metabolism, Pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis, Sphingolipid metabolism, Purine metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism and others. Lastly, a number of metabolites were found in common between cells exposed to the CD36 receptor ligand, SSO, and GNPs suggesting both CD36-dependent and independent responses to GNP exposure. Together our data demonstrates GNP-macrophage interactions, the role of CD36 in the cellular response, and metabolic pathways disrupted due to exposure.
