Recombinant Gas6 augments Axl and facilitates immune restoration in an intracerebral hemorrhage mouse model.

ABSTRACT: Axl, a tyrosine kinase receptor, was recently identified as an essential component regulating innate immune response. Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 are potent Axl-inducible negative inflammatory regulators. This study investigated the role of Axl signaling pathway in immune restoration in an autologous blood-injection mouse model of intracerebral hemorrhage. Recombinant growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6) and R428 were administrated as specific agonist and antagonist. In vivo knockdown of Axl or suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 by siRNA was applied. After intracerebral hemorrhage, the expression of endogenous Axl, soluble Axl, and Gas6 was increased, whereas the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 was inhibited. Recombinant growth arrest-specific 6 administration alleviated brain edema and improved neurobehavioral performances. Moreover, enhanced Axl phosphorylation with cleavage of soluble Axl (sAxl), and an upregulation of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 were observed. In vivo knockdown of Axl and R428 administration both abolished the effect of recombinant growth arrest-specific 6 on brain edema and also decreased the expression suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3. In vivo knockdown of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 aggravated cytokine releasing despite of recombinant growth arrest-specific 6. In conclusion, Axl plays essential role in immune restoration after intracerebral hemorrhage. And recombinant growth arrest-specific 6 attenuated brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage, probably by enhancing Axl phosphorylation and production of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3.

Project description:Background and purposeSpontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) is a common form of hemorrhagic stroke, with high mortality and morbidity. Pathophysiological mechanisms in sICH are poorly understood and treatments limited. Neuroinflammation driven by microglial-macrophage activation contributes to brain damage post-sICH. We aim to test the hypothesis that an anti-inflammatory (repair) process occurs in parallel with neuroinflammation in clinical sICH.MethodsWe performed quantitative analysis of immunohistochemical markers for microglia and macrophages (Iba1, CD68, TMEM119, CD163, and CD206) in brain tissue biospecimens 1 to 12 days post-sICH and matched control cases. In a parallel, prospective group of patients, we assayed circulating inflammatory markers (CRP [C-reactive protein], total white cell, and monocyte count) over 1 to 12 days following sICH.ResultsIn 27 supratentorial sICH cases (n=27, median [interquartile range] age: 59 [52–80.5], 14F/13M) all microglia-macrophage markers increased post-sICH, relative to control brains. Anti-inflammatory markers (CD163 and CD206) were elevated alongside proinflammatory markers (CD68 and TMEM119). CD163 increased progressively post-sICH (15.0-fold increase at 7–12 days, P<0.001). CD206 increased at 3 to 5 days (5.2-fold, P<0.001) then returned to control levels at 7 to 12 days. The parenchymal immune response combined brain-derived microglia (TMEM119 positive) and invading monocyte-derived macrophages (CD206 positive). In a prospective sICH patient cohort (n=26, age 74 [66–79], National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale on admission: 8 [4–17]; 14F/12M) blood CRP concentration and monocyte density (but not white blood cell) increased post-sICH. CRP increased from 0 to 2 to 3 to 5 days (8.3-fold, P=0.020) then declined at 7 to 12 days. Monocytes increased from 0 to 2 to 3 to 5 days (1.8-fold, P<0.001) then declined at 7 to 12 days.ConclusionsAn anti-inflammatory pathway, enlisting native microglia and blood monocytes, occurs alongside neuroinflammation post-sICH. This novel pathway offers therapeutic targets and a window of opportunity (3–5 days post-sICH) for delivery of therapeutics via invading monocytes.
