Complement Components Are Expressed by Infiltrating Macrophages/Activated Microglia Early Following Viral Infection.

ABSTRACT: The individual innate immune components, interleukin-6 and complement component C3, play a role in the development of acute seizures in the Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus-induced seizure model. We examined the mRNA expression of various other complement components, cytokines, chemokines, and major histocompatibility complex antigens both within brain and in isolated ramified microglial and infiltrating macrophage/activated microglial cell populations over a time course covering the first 3 days postinfection. We found that complement component C3 showed the greatest increase in expression in brain of all of the complement components assayed and its level of expression was higher in infiltrating macrophages/activated microglia than in ramified microglial cells.

KCa3.1 inhibition switches the phenotype of glioma-infiltrating microglia/macrophages.

Project description:Among the strategies adopted by glioma to successfully invade the brain parenchyma is turning the infiltrating microglia/macrophages (M/MΦ) into allies, by shifting them toward an anti-inflammatory, pro-tumor phenotype. Both glioma and infiltrating M/MΦ cells express the Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel (KCa3.1), and the inhibition of KCa3.1 activity on glioma cells reduces tumor infiltration in the healthy brain parenchyma. We wondered whether KCa3.1 inhibition could prevent the acquisition of a pro-tumor phenotype by M/MΦ cells, thus contributing to reduce glioma development. With this aim, we studied microglia cultured in glioma-conditioned medium or treated with IL-4, as well as M/MΦ cells acutely isolated from glioma-bearing mice and from human glioma biopsies. Under these different conditions, M/MΦ were always polarized toward an anti-inflammatory state, and preventing KCa3.1 activation by 1-[(2-Chlorophenyl)diphenylmethyl]-1H-pyrazole (TRAM-34), we observed a switch toward a pro-inflammatory, antitumor phenotype. We identified FAK and PI3K/AKT as the molecular mechanisms involved in this phenotype switch, activated in sequence after KCa3.1. Anti-inflammatory M/MΦ have higher expression levels of KCa3.1 mRNA (kcnn4) that are reduced by KCa3.1 inhibition. In line with these findings, TRAM-34 treatment, in vivo, significantly reduced the size of tumors in glioma-bearing mice. Our data indicate that KCa3.1 channels are involved in the inhibitory effects exerted by the glioma microenvironment on infiltrating M/MΦ, suggesting a possible role as therapeutic targets in glioma.

Infiltrating macrophages are broadly activated at the early stage to support acute skeletal muscle injury repair.

Project description:Acute skeletal muscle injury repair requires an adequate inflammatory response predominated by macrophage infiltration. We studied the activation of infiltrating macrophages by analyzing the expression of M1/M2 signature genes. Most of the intramuscular macrophages were Ly6Chi at day 1 after BaCl2 injection, while many were Ly6Clo at day 3. Ly6Chi macrophages at day 1 expressed a high level of both M1 and M2 genes, and the Ly6Chi and Ly6Clo macrophages at day 3 expressed a similar level of many M1/M2 genes. Infiltrating macrophages are broadly activated rather than polarized at the early stage to support acute skeletal muscle injury repair.

Microglia response following acute demyelination is heterogeneous and limits infiltrating macrophage dispersion.

Project description:Microglia and infiltrating macrophages are thought to orchestrate the central nervous system (CNS) response to injury; however, the similarities between these cells make it challenging to distinguish their relative contributions. We genetically labeled microglia and CNS-associated macrophages to distinguish them from infiltrating macrophages. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we describe multiple microglia activation states, one of which was enriched for interferon associated signaling. Although blood-derived macrophages acutely infiltrated the demyelinated lesion, microglia progressively monopolized the lesion environment where they surrounded infiltrating macrophages. In the microglia-devoid sciatic nerve, the infiltrating macrophage response was sustained. In the CNS, the preferential proliferation of microglia and sparse microglia death contributed to microglia dominating the lesion. Microglia ablation reversed the spatial restriction of macrophages with the demyelinated spinal cord, highlighting an unrealized macrophages-microglia interaction. The restriction of peripheral inflammation by microglia may be a previously unidentified mechanism by which the CNS maintains its "immune privileged" status.

Multi-omics Analysis of Liver Infiltrating Macrophages Following Ethanol Consumption.

Project description:Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a significant health hazard and economic burden affecting approximately 10 million people in the United States. ALD stems from the production of toxic-reactive metabolites, oxidative stress and fat accumulation in hepatocytes which ultimately results in hepatocyte death promoting hepatitis and fibrosis deposition. Monocyte-derived infiltrating Ly6Chi and Ly6Clow macrophages are instrumental in perpetuating and resolving the hepatitis and fibrosis associated with ALD pathogenesis. In the present study we isolated liver infiltrating macrophages from mice on an ethanol diet and subjected them to metabolomic and proteomic analysis to provide a broad assessment of the cellular metabolite and protein differences between infiltrating macrophage phenotypes. We identified numerous differentially regulated metabolites and proteins between Ly6Chi and Ly6Clow macrophages. Bioinformatic analysis for pathway enrichment of the differentially regulated metabolites showed a significant number of metabolites involved in the processes of glycerophospholipid metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism and phospholipid biosynthesis. From analysis of the infiltrating macrophage proteome, we observed a significant enrichment in the biological processes of antigen presentation, actin polymerization and organization, phagocytosis and apoptotic regulation. The data presented herein could yield exciting new research avenues for the analysis of signaling pathways regulating macrophage polarization in ALD.

The complement C3-C3aR pathway mediates microglia-astrocyte interaction following status epilepticus.

Project description:Gliosis is a histopathological characteristic of epilepsy that comprises activated microglia and astrocytes. It is unclear whether or how crosstalk occurs between microglia and astrocytes in the evolution of epilepsy. Here, we report in a mouse model of status epilepticus, induced by intracerebroventricular injection of kainic acid (KA), sequential activation of microglia and astrocytes and their close spatial interaction in the hippocampal CA3 region. Microglial ablation reduced astrocyte activation and their upregulation of complement C3. When compared to wild-type mice, both C3-/- and C3aR-/- mice had significantly less microglia-astrocyte interaction in response to KA-induced status epilepticus. Additionally, KA-injected C3-/- mice had significantly less histochemical evidence of neurodegeneration. The results suggest that the C3-C3aR pathway contributes to KA-induced neurodegeneration by mediating microglia-astrocyte communication. The C3-C3aR pathway may prove to be a potential therapeutic target for epilepsy treatment.

Complement and microglia mediate early synapse loss in Alzheimer mouse models.

Project description:Synapse loss in Alzheimer's disease (AD) correlates with cognitive decline. Involvement of microglia and complement in AD has been attributed to neuroinflammation, prominent late in disease. Here we show in mouse models that complement and microglia mediate synaptic loss early in AD. C1q, the initiating protein of the classical complement cascade, is increased and associated with synapses before overt plaque deposition. Inhibition of C1q, C3, or the microglial complement receptor CR3 reduces the number of phagocytic microglia, as well as the extent of early synapse loss. C1q is necessary for the toxic effects of soluble β-amyloid (Aβ) oligomers on synapses and hippocampal long-term potentiation. Finally, microglia in adult brains engulf synaptic material in a CR3-dependent process when exposed to soluble Aβ oligomers. Together, these findings suggest that the complement-dependent pathway and microglia that prune excess synapses in development are inappropriately activated and mediate synapse loss in AD.

Profiling the Resident and Infiltrating Monocyte/Macrophages during Rejection following Kidney Transplantation.

Project description:Immune tolerance research is essential for kidney transplantation. Other than antibody and T cell-mediated immune rejection, macrophage-mediated innate immunity plays an important role in the onset phase of transplantation rejection. However, due to the complexity of the kidney environment as well as its diversity and low abundance, studies pertaining to monocyte/macrophages in kidney transplantation require further elucidation. In this study, kidney samples taken from healthy human adults and biopsy specimens from patients undergoing rejection following kidney transplantation were analysed and studied. By conducting a single-cell RNA analysis, the type and status of monocyte/macrophages in kidney transplantation were described, in which monocyte/macrophages were observed to form two different subpopulations: resident and infiltrating monocyte/macrophages. Furthermore, previously defined genes were mapped to all monocyte/macrophage types in the kidney and enriched the differential genes of the two main subpopulations using gene expression databases. Considering that various cases of rejection may be of the monocyte/macrophage type, the present data may serve as a reference for studies regarding immune tolerance following kidney transplantation.

DCIR3 and DCIR4 are widely expressed among tissue-resident macrophages with the exception of microglia and alveolar macrophages.

Project description:Dendritic cell inhibitory receptor 3 (DCIR3, Clec4a3) and dendritic cell inhibitory receptor 4 (DCIR4, Clec4a1) are C-type lectin receptors that belong to mouse dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR) family. We recently showed that DCIR3 and DCIR4 are co-expressed on inflammatory and patrolling monocytes. In this study, we investigated the expression of DCIR3 and DCIR4 on tissue-resident macrophages. We found that spleen red pulp macrophages, liver Kupffer cells, large and small peritoneal macrophages and small intestinal macrophages expressed both DCIR3 and DCIR4. By contrast, lung alveolar macrophages expressed DCIR3 but not DCIR4 and brain microglia expressed neither DCIR3 nor DCIR4. Considerable part of tissue-resident macrophages are derived from embryonic precursors. We, therefore, examined the expression of DCIR3 and DCIR4 on the embryonic precursors. Yolk-sac macrophages from embryonic day (E) 8.5 embryos expressed both DCIR3 and DCIR4, while DCIR3 and DCIR4 were expressed on subpopulations of fetal liver monocytes from E14.5 embryos. Our results, together with previous data, indicate that the expression of DCIR3 and DCIR4 is widely shared by mononuclear phagocytes, including monocytes and macrophages, and that the expression of DCIR3 and DCIR4 on the embryonic precursors are not always retained by their progenies, suggesting that expression of DCIR3 and DCIR4 on tissue-resident macrophages might be regulated by environment of the tissues where the embryonic precursors differentiate into macrophages.
