Sorting nexin 10 acting as a novel regulator of macrophage polarization mediates inflammatory response in experimental mouse colitis.

ABSTRACT: In response to changes in microenvironment, macrophages polarize into functionally distinct phenotypes, playing a crucial role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Here, we investigated the effects of sorting nexin 10 (SNX10), a protein involved in endosomal trafficking and osteoclast maturation, on regulation of macrophage polarization and progression of mouse colitis. Our results revealed that SNX10 deficiency increased the population of M2-type monocytes/macrophages, and protected against colonic inflammation and pathological damage induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). By in vitro study, we showed that deficiency of SNX10 polarized macrophages derived from mouse bone marrow or human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) towards an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, which partially reversed by SNX10 plasmid transfection. Adoptive transfer of SNX10(-/-) macrophages ameliorated colitis in WT mice. However, transfer of WT macrophages exacerbated colitis in SNX10(-/-) mice. Our data disclose a crucial role and novel function for SNX10 in macrophage polarization. Loss of SNX10 function may be a potential promising therapeutic strategy for IBD.

Project description:Bone homeostasis is a complex, multi-step process, which is based primarily on a tightly orchestrated interplay between bone formation and bone resorption that is executed by osteoblasts and osteoclasts (OCLs), respectively. The essential physiological balance between these cells is maintained and controlled at multiple levels, ranging from regulated gene expression to endocrine signals, yet the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. One approach for deciphering the mechanisms that regulate bone homeostasis is the characterization of relevant pathological states in which this balance is disturbed. In this article we describe one such "error of nature," namely the development of acute recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) in humans that is caused by mutations in sorting nexin 10 (SNX10) that affect OCL functioning. We hypothesize here that, by virtue of its specific roles in vesicular trafficking, SNX10 serves as a key selective regulator of the composition of diverse membrane compartments in OCLs, thereby affecting critical processes in the sequence of events that link the plasma membrane with formation of the ruffled border and with extracellular acidification. As a result, SNX10 determines multiple features of these cells either directly or, as in regulation of cell-cell fusion, indirectly. This hypothesis is further supported by the similarities between the cellular defects observed in OCLs form various models of ARO, induced by mutations in SNX10 and in other genes, which suggest that mutations in the known ARO-associated genes act by disrupting the same plasma membrane-to-ruffled border axis, albeit to different degrees. In this article, we describe the population genetics and spread of the original arginine-to-glutamine mutation at position 51 (R51Q) in SNX10 in the Palestinian community. We further review recent studies, conducted in animal and cellular model systems, that highlight the essential roles of SNX10 in critical membrane functions in OCLs, and discuss possible future research directions that are needed for challenging or substantiating our hypothesis.
