Neutrophil myeloperoxidase diminishes the toxic effects and mortality induced by lipopolysaccharide.

ABSTRACT: Neutrophils have crucial antimicrobial functions but are also thought to contribute to tissue injury upon exposure to bacterial products, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS). To study the role of neutrophils in LPS-induced endotoxemia, we developed a new mouse model, PMN^DTR mice, in which injection of diphtheria toxin induces selective neutrophil ablation. Using this model, we found, surprisingly, that neutrophils serve to protect the host from LPS-induced lethal inflammation. This protective role was observed in conventional and germ-free animal facilities, indicating that it does not depend on a particular microbiological environment. Blockade or genetic deletion of myeloperoxidase (MPO), a key neutrophil enzyme, significantly increased mortality after LPS challenge, and adoptive transfer experiments confirmed that neutrophil-derived MPO contributes importantly to protection from endotoxemia. Our findings imply that, in addition to their well-established antimicrobial properties, neutrophils can contribute to optimal host protection by limiting the extent of endotoxin-induced inflammation in an MPO-dependent manner.

Project description:Myeloperoxidase (MPO), an important diprotomeric glycoprotein in neutrophil-mediated immunity, produces microbicidal hypohalous acids, but the underpinning glycobiology remains elusive. Deep characterisation of neutrophil-derived MPO (nMPO) using advanced mass spectrometry demonstrated that under-processed oligomannosidic- and hyper-truncated paucimannosidic- and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) core-type asparagine-linked glycans decorate the protein. Occlusion of Asn355 and Asn391 and sterical hindrance of Asn323- and Asn483-glycans located in the MPO dimerisation zone were found to shape the local glycan processing thereby providing a molecular basis of the site-specific nMPO glycosylation. Native mass spectrometry, mass photometry, and glycopeptide profiling revealed extreme molecular complexity of diprotomeric nMPO arising from heterogeneous glycosylation, oxidation, chlorination and polypeptide truncation variants, and a lower-abundance monomer. Longitudinal profiling of maturing, mature, granule-separated, and pathogen-activated neutrophils demonstrated that MPO is dynamically expressed during granulopoiesis, unevenly distributed across granules and rapidly degranulated, but surprisingly carries uniform glycosylation across conditions. Complete proMPO-to-MPO maturation evidently occur during early/mid-stage granulopoiesis. The conserved Asn355- and Asn391-sequons displayed elevated GlcNAc signatures and higher oxidation and chlorination activity of the secretory vesicle/plasma membrane-resident MPO relative to MPO from other granules. Endoglycosidase H-treated nMPO displaying Asn355-/Asn391-GlcNAcylation recapitulated the activity gain and showed increased thermal stability and polypeptide accessibility relative to untreated nMPO as measured by activity assays, circular dichroism and molecular dynamics. Endoglycosidase H-treated nMPO also demonstrated elevated ceruloplasmin-mediated inhibition relative to nMPO. Modelling revealed that hyper-truncated Asn355-glycans positioned in the MPO:ceruloplasmin interface are critical for uninterrupted inhibition. We report on novel bimodal roles of the peculiar MPO glycosylation providing new insight into neutrophil glycobiology.
