Aspirin-induced histone acetylation in endothelial cells enhances synthesis of the secreted isoform of netrin-1 thus inhibiting monocyte vascular infiltration.

ABSTRACT: There are conflicting data regarding whether netrin-1 retards or accelerates atherosclerosis progression, as it can lead either to monocyte repulsion from or retention within plaques depending on its cellular source. We investigated the effect of aspirin, which is widely used in cardiovascular prophylaxis, on the synthesis of different isoforms of netrin-1 by endothelial cells under pro-inflammatory conditions, and defined the net effect of aspirin-dependent systemic modulation of netrin-1 on atherosclerosis progression.Netrin-1 synthesis was studied in vitro using human endothelial cells stimulated with TNF-?, with or without aspirin treatment. In vivo experiments were conducted in ApoE(-/-) mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD), receiving either aspirin or clopidogrel.TNF-?-induced NF-?B activation up-regulated the nuclear isoform of netrin-1, while simultaneously reducing secreted netrin-1. Down-regulation of the secreted isoform compromised the chemorepellent action of the endothelium against monocyte chemotaxis. Aspirin counteracted TNF-?-mediated effects on netrin-1 synthesis by endothelial cells through COX-dependent inhibition of NF-?B and concomitant histone hyperacetylation. Administration of aspirin to ApoE(-/-) mice on HFD increased blood and arterial wall levels of netrin-1 independently of its effects on platelets, accompanied by reduced plaque size and content of monocytes/macrophages, compared with untreated or clopidogrel-treated mice. In vivo blockade of netrin-1 enhanced monocyte plaque infiltration in aspirin-treated ApoE(-/-) mice.Aspirin counteracts down-regulation of secreted netrin-1 induced by pro-inflammatory stimuli in endothelial cells. The aspirin-dependent increase of netrin-1 in ApoE(-/-) mice exerts anti-atherogenic effects by preventing arterial accumulation of monocytes.

Project description:BackgroundThe incidence rate of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is rapidly increasing. Recent studies have reported that histone acetylation modification plays an important role in the occurrence and development of tumors. However, the potential role of modification of histone acetylation modification in the development of tumor immune microenvironment is still unclear.MethodsIn this study, we comprehensively evaluated the acetylation modification patterns of LUAD samples obtained from various different databases based on 36 histone modification regulators, and constructed a prognostic model based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) LUAD cohort using the Cox regression method. The close relationship between histone acetylation and tumor immune characteristics was further studied, including immune infiltration, immune escape and immunotherapy. Finally, we combined three cohort (GSE30219, GSE72094 and GSE50081) from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to verify the above results.ResultsWe analyzed the expression, mutation and interaction of 36 histone acetylation regulated genes. After Univariate Cox regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression (LASSO), 5 genes (KAT2B, SIRT2, HDAC5, KAT8, HDAC2) were screened to establish the prognosis model and calculate the risk score. Then, patients in the TCGA cohort were divided into high- and low-risk groups based on the risk scores. Further analysis indicated that patients in the high-risk group exhibited significantly reduced overall survival (OS) compared with those in the low-risk group. The high- and low-risk groups exhibited significant differences in terms of tumor immune characteristics, such as immune infiltration, immune escape and immunotherapy. The high-risk group had lower immune score, less immune cell infiltration and higher clinical stage. Moreover, multivariate analysis revealed that this prognostic model might be a powerful prognostic predictor for LUAD. In addition, drugs sensitive for this classification were identified. Finally, the efficacy of the prognostic model was validated by cohort (GSE30219, GSE72094 and GSE50081) from GEO database.ConclusionsOur study provided a robust signature for predicting changing prognosis of patients with LUAD. Thus, it appears to be a potentially useful prognostic tool. Moreover, the important relationship between histone acetylation and tumor immune microenvironment was revealed.

Project description:Netrin-1, acting at its cognate receptor UNC5b, has been previously demonstrated to inhibit CC chemokine-induced immune cell migration. In line with this, we found that netrin-1 was able to inhibit CCL2-induced migration of bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs). However, whether netrin-1 is capable of inhibiting chemotaxis to a broader range of chemoattractants remains largely unexplored. As our initial experiments demonstrated that RAW264.7 and BMDMs expressed high levels of C5a receptor 1 (C5aR1) on their surface, we aimed to determine the effect of netrin-1 exposure on monocyte/macrophage cell migration induced by C5a, a complement peptide that plays a major role in multiple inflammatory pathologies. Treatment of RAW264.7 macrophages, BMDMs and human monocytes with netrin-1 inhibited their chemotaxis towards C5a, as measured using two different real-time methods. This inhibitory effect was found to be dependent on netrin-1 receptor signalling, as an UNC5b blocking antibody was able to reverse netrin-1 inhibition of C5a induced BMDM migration. Treatment of BMDMs with netrin-1 had no effect on C5aR1 proximal signalling events, as surface C5aR1 expression, internalisation and intracellular Ca2+ release following C5aR1 ligation remained unaffected after netrin-1 exposure. We next examined receptor distal events that occur following C5aR1 activation, but found that netrin-1 was unable to inhibit C5a induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, Akt and p38, pathways important for cellular migration. Furthermore, netrin-1 treatment had no effect on BMDM cytoskeletal rearrangement following C5a stimulation as determined by microscopy and real-time electrical impedance sensing. Taken together these data highlight that netrin-1 inhibits monocyte and macrophage cell migration, but that the mechanism behind this effect remains unresolved. Nevertheless, netrin-1 and its cognate receptors warrant further investigation as they may represent a potential avenue for the development of novel anti-inflammatory therapeutics.
