Project description:The progression of prion diseases is accompanied by the accumulation of prions in the brain. Ablation of microglia enhances prion accumulation and accelerates disease progression, suggesting that microglia play a neuroprotective role by clearing prions. However, the mechanisms underlying the phagocytosis and clearance of prion are largely unknown. The macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (Msr1) is an important phagocytic receptor expressed by microglia in the brain and is involved in the uptake and clearance of soluble amyloid-β. We therefore asked whether Msr1 might play a role in prion clearance and assessed the scavenger function of Msr1 in prion pathogenesis. We found that Msr1 expression was upregulated in prion-infected mouse brains. However, Msr1 deficiency did not change prion disease progression or lesion patterns. Prion deposition in Msr1 deficient mice was similar to their wild-type littermates. In addition, prion-induced neuroinflammation was not affected by Msr1 ablation. We conclude that Msr1 does not play a major role in prion pathogenesis. KEY MESSAGES: Msr1 expression is upregulated in prion-infected mouse brains at the terminal stage Msr1 deficiency does not affect prion disease progression Msr1 does not play a major role in prion clearance or prion pathogenesis Microglia-mediated phagocytosis and clearance of Aβ and prion may adopt distinct molecular pathways.

Project description:AimsWhile numerous studies have reported on nanoparticle uptake by phagocytic cells, the mechanisms of this uptake are poorly understood. A metastudy of research focusing on biological particulate matter has postulated that nanoparticles cannot be phagocytosed and therefore must enter cells via pinocytosis. The purpose of this study was to identify the route(s) of uptake of gold nanoparticles in vitro and to determine if these route(s) depend on particle size.Materials & methodsThe parent RAW264.7 cell line and its derivatives, transduced with a virus carrying siRNA to macrophage scavenger receptor A, were used as model phagocytes. Citrate-stabilized gold colloids were used as model nanoparticles. We used chemical inhibitors known to interfere with specific routes of particulate uptake. We developed multifocal light microscopy methods including multifocal stack analysis with NIH ImageJ software to analyze cell uptake.ResultsIrrespective of size, gold nanoparticles are internalized by macrophages via multiple routes, including both phagocytosis and pinocytosis. If either route was blocked, the particles entered cells via the other route.ConclusionGold nanoparticles with hydrodynamic sizes below 100 nm can be phagocytosed. Phagocytosis of anionic gold colloids by RAW264.7 cells is mediated by macrophage scavenger receptor A.

Project description:Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) are novel two-dimensional engineered nanomaterials consisting of planar stacks of graphene. Although human exposures are increasing, our knowledge is lacking regarding immune-specific responses to GNPs and mechanisms of interactions. Our current study utilizes a metabolite profiling approach to evaluate macrophage responses to GNPs. Furthermore, we assessed the role of the scavenger receptor CD36 in mediating these GNP-induced responses. GNPs were purchased with dimensions of 2 ?m × 2 ?m × 12 nm. Macrophages were exposed to GNPs at different concentrations of 0, 25, 50, or 100 ?g/ml for 1, 3, or 6 h. Following exposure, no cytotoxicity was observed, while GNPs readily associated with macrophages in a concentration-dependent manner. After the 1h-pretreatment of either a CD36 competitive ligand sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate (SSO) or a CD36 specific antibody, the cellular association of GNPs by macrophages was significantly reduced. GNP exposure was determined to alter mitochondrial membrane potential while the pretreatment with a CD36 antibody inhibited these changes. In a separate exposure, macrophages were exposed to GNPs at concentrations of 0, 50, or 100 ?g/mL for 1 or 3h or 100 ?M SSO (a CD36 specific ligand) for 1h and collected for metabolite profiling. Principal component analysis of identified compounds determined differential grouping based on exposure conditions. The number of compounds changed following exposure was determined to be both concentration- and time-dependent. Identified metabolites were determined to relate to several metabolism pathways such as glutathione metabolism, Pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis, Sphingolipid metabolism, Purine metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism and others. Lastly, a number of metabolites were found in common between cells exposed to the CD36 receptor ligand, SSO, and GNPs suggesting both CD36-dependent and independent responses to GNP exposure. Together our data demonstrates GNP-macrophage interactions, the role of CD36 in the cellular response, and metabolic pathways disrupted due to exposure.

Project description:Multiple receptors may mediate the cellular uptake of a single protein and thereby affect the plasma level of the involved protein. In case of Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) these receptors include LDL receptor-related protein-1 (LRP-1), Macrophage scavenger receptor-1 (MSR-1, SR-AI or CD204), the Macrophage Galactose-type lectin (CLEC10A, MGL or CD301), Siglec-5 and the Asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR).1 In the present study, we aimed to gain insight into the interplay of multiple receptors to the cellular internalization of a single ligand like VWF. The macrophages in the liver and spleen have been reported to contribute considerably to the cellular uptake of VWF. Previously, we have shown that also human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) internalize VWF via a mechanism that depends on LRP-1.5 We now analyzed the cell surface proteome of MDMs using mass spectrometry analysis to identify putative other VWF clearance receptors on MDMs. We found that MDMs contain LRP-1 and MSR-1, and we identified 1 peptide that is shared by Siglec-5 and Siglec-14. The estimated copy numbers of these receptors revealed a markedly higher expression of LRP-1 and MSR-1 compared to Siglec-5/14. We therefore focused our study on the possible dual mechanism by which LRP-1 and MSR-1 may cooperate in the cellular uptake of VWF by MDMs and conducted a range of functional studies. Based on the data presented in this study, we propose the following model to explain the relationship between the two abundant VWF receptors on MDMs. Both LRP-1 and MSR-1 associate with regions in the D’D3A1 region of VWF, thereby initiating two endocytic pathways that are both regulated by LRP-1. The first pathway follows a direct association of the VWF A1 domain to LRP-1. In the second pathway, VWF interacts to MSR-1 via regions in the D’D3 assembly, which subsequently associates to LRP-1 for endocytosis.

Project description:Alveolar macrophages (AMs) avidly bind and ingest unopsonized environmental particles and bacteria through scavenger-type receptors (SRs). AMs from mice with a genetic deletion of the major macrophage SR (types AI and AII; SR-/-) showed no decrease in particle binding compared with SR+/+ mice, suggesting that other SRs are involved. To identify these receptors, we generated a monoclonal antibody (mAb), PAL-1, that inhibits hamster AM binding of unopsonized particles (TiO2, Fe2O3, and latex beads; 66 +/- 5, 77 +/- 2, and 85 +/- 2% inhibition, respectively, measured by flow cytometry). This antibody identifies a protein of approximately 70 kD on the AM surface (immunoprecipitation) that is expressed by AMs and other macrophages in situ. A cDNA clone encoding the mAb PAL-1-reactive protein isolated by means of COS cell expression was found to be 84 and 77% homologous to mouse and human scavenger receptor MARCO mRNA, respectively. Transfection of COS cells with MARCO cDNA conferred mAb-inhibitable TiO2 binding. Hamster MARCO also mediates AM binding of unopsonized bacteria (67 +/- 5 and 47 +/- 4% inhibition of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus binding by mAb PAL-1). A polyclonal antibody to human MARCO identified the expected approximately 70-kD band on Western blots of lysates of normal bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells (>90% AMs) and showed strong immunolabeling of human AMs in BAL cytocentrifuge preparations and within lung tissue specimens. In normal mouse AMs, the anti-MARCO mAb ED31 also showed immunoreactivity and inhibited binding of unopsonized particles (e.g., TiO2 approximately 40%) and bacteria. The novel function of binding unopsonized environmental dusts and pathogens suggests an important role for MARCO in the lungs' response to inhaled particles.

Project description:Rare germline mutations of macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1) gene were reported to be associated with prostate cancer risk in families with hereditary prostate cancer (HPC) and in patients with non-HPC (Xu et al. 2002). To further evaluate the role of MSR1 in prostate cancer susceptibility, at Johns Hopkins Hospital, we studied five common variants of MSR1 in 301 patients with non-HPC who underwent prostate cancer treatment and in 250 control subjects who participated in prostate cancer-screening programs and had normal digital rectal examination and PSA levels (<4 ng/ml). Significantly different allele frequencies between case subjects and control subjects were observed for each of the five variants (P value range.01-.04). Haplotype analyses provided consistent findings, with a significant difference in the haplotype frequencies from a global score test (P=.01). Because the haplotype that is associated with the increased risk for prostate cancer did not harbor any of the known rare mutations, it appears that the observed association of common variants and prostate cancer risk are independent of the effect of the known rare mutations. These results consistently suggest that MSR1 may play an important role in prostate carcinogenesis.

Project description:To investigate the mechanisms by which macrophage scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) regulates macrophage cholesterol homeostasis and protects against atherosclerosis.The expression and function of SR-BI was investigated in cultured mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM). SR-BI, the other scavenger receptors SRA and CD36 and the ATP-binding cassette transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1 were each distinctly regulated during BMM differentiation. SR-BI levels increased transiently to significant levels during culture. SR-BI expression in BMM was reversibly down-regulated by lipid loading with modified LDL; SR-BI was shown to be present both on the cell surface as well as intracellularly. BMM exhibited selective HDL CE uptake, however, this was not dependent on SR-BI or another potential candidate glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored high density lipoprotein binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1). SR-BI played a significant role in facilitating bidirectional cholesterol flux in non lipid-loaded cells. SR-BI expression enhanced both cell cholesterol efflux and cholesterol influx from HDL, but did not lead to altered cellular cholesterol mass. SR-BI-dependent efflux occurred to larger HDL particles but not to smaller HDL(3). Following cholesterol loading, ABCA1 and ABCG1 were up-regulated and served as the major contributors to cholesterol efflux, while SR-BI expression was down-regulated.Our results suggest that SR-BI plays a significant role in macrophage cholesterol flux that may partly account for its effects on atherogenesis.

Project description:BackgroundMacrophage scavenger receptor 1 gene (MSR1), is responsible for producing macrophage scavenger receptors. MSR1 is primarily located on the surfaces of various macrophage types and is known to exert a range of effects on the human body. These effects include influencing innate and adaptive immunological reactions, as well as contributing to the development of conditions such as atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, liver and lung disease, and cancer. The unregulated assimilation of lipoproteins by MSR1 leads to the creation of macrophages rich in cholesterol that manifest as foam-like cells, ultimately contributing to dyslipidemia. This occurrence highlights the significance of MSR1 as a key player in the pathophysiology of dyslipidemia.AimIn this study, we aimed to estimate variation in lipid profile in acne vulgaris (AV) patients. Also, we aimed to investigate the role of MSR1 in lipid profile variation.Subjects and methodsA case-control study consisting of 100 patients with AV and 104 healthy controls. Lipid profiles were assessed using normalized enzymatic processes and genotype analyses were performed by a polymerase chain reaction and standard Sanger sequencing. Predictions of variant effects were performed using in silico tools.ResultOur results indicated that the levels of lipid profile were higher in patients with AV than in healthy patients. The two haplotypes that were most prevalent in the patients were TCAC (16.5%) and CAGG (15.47%), whereas the two haplotypes that were more prevalent in the controls were TAAC (16.43%) and CCAC (15.62%). IVS5.59 C > A and rs433235 A > G are in linkage disequilibrium. Additionally, rs433235 A > G has a significant linkage disequilibrium with rs3747531 C > G. In silico analysis, tools indicated that the rs433235 A > G variant was disease-causing.ConclusionPatients diagnosed with TCAC and CAGG exhibited a higher prevalence compared to healthy patients with TAAC and CCAC. The linkage disequilibrium between rs433235 A > G and IVS5.59 C > A has been established. Furthermore, there appears to be significant linkage disequilibrium between rs3747531 C > G and rs433235 A > G. These findings support the notion that genetic variations may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of these conditions.

Project description:Disease outcomes of HER2+ breast cancers have dramatically improved after targeted therapies, such as trastuzumab became available. The main mechanism of action of trastuzumab depends on immunoactivation, while immunosuppressive tumour phenotype has been linked to adverse outcomes. Current study included metastatic HER2+ breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab (n = 40). Immunohistochemistry was conducted to detect nitric oxide synthase 2 (iNOS) expressing M1 polarized and CD163+ M2 polarized macrophages, FoxP3+ regulatory T-cells (Tregs), CD47 and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1). High number of iNOS+ M1-like macrophages, both in the center of the tumour (CT) and invasive margin (IM), was significantly associated with improved survival (p = 0.009) while high expression of IDO1 or CD47 in the malignant cells was associated with worsened prognosis (p = 0.018, p = 0.046). High number of CD163+ M2-like macrophages in the CT, but not in the IM, and high number of FoxP3+ Tregs in both locations showed non-significant tendencies towards poor prognosis. Moreover, high number of iNOS+ M1-like macrophages combined with high number of CD8+ T-cells in the CT was significantly associated with improved survival (p = 0.0003), and this combined marker predicted patient's ability to remain progression-free without trastuzumab after responding to the therapy (p = 0.003). Current study highlights the role of M1 polarized macrophages alone and in combination with CD8+ cells in HER2+ breast cancer.

Project description:Expression of scavenger receptor A (SRA) in macrophages plays key role in macrophage mediated uptake of microbes. However, little is known about the role of porcine scavenger receptor A (pSRA) in phagocytic function of macrophages in swine species. In this study, polyclonal antibody against pSRA was generated by using recombinant proteins to study expression and function of pSRA. We report broad expression of pSRA in different tissues. In the lungs, pSRA is mainly expressed by alveolar macrophages. Blockade of class A scavenger receptor by fucoidan treatment demonstrates that pSRA has role in bacterial phagocytosis by macrophages. Furthermore, importance of SRA-mediated bacterial phagocytosis has been shown using CHO cell line expressing pSRA. In summary, these findings reveal that pSRA, which is predominantly expressed in alveolar macrophages is likely to be an important receptor mediating recognition and uptake of bacteria in pig lungs.
