TIPE2 governs macrophage polarization via negative regulation of mTORC1.

ABSTRACT: Macrophages can be polarized into the inflammatory M1 lineage or the immunomodulatory M2 lineage, depending on the differential tissue microenvironment signaling, specific pathogens or cytokine stimulation. Tumor necrosis factor ??induced protein 8?like protein 2 (TIPE2) has been demonstrated to negatively regulate inflammation by inhibiting the Toll?like receptor (TLR) pathway. The present study utilized murine bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) as the model of undifferentiated (M0) macrophages to study the roles of TIPE2 in the differential polarization status of BMDMs. It was observed that the expression levels of TIPE2 were diminished in M1 macrophages treated with lipopolysaccharide/interferon ?, and elevated in M2 macrophages treated with interleukin (IL)?4. BMDMs with TIPE2 overexpression exhibited defective M1 polarization and enhanced responses to IL?4 stimulation. TIPE2 impeded M1 polarization by interfering with mitogen?activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7?inhibitor of nuclear factor??B kinase subunit ? and B cell receptor?associated protein?serine/threonine?protein kinase mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) activation. TIPE2 overexpression accelerated IL?4 induced M2 polarization by dampening mTORC1 activation via the accelerated process of arginine to urea. Overall, these results define a key role for TIPE2 in macrophage polarization by impeding mTORC1 response.

Project description:Macroautophagy/autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that involves the selective degradation of cytoplasmic components within lysosomes in response to starvation. Autophagy is an ancient defense mechanism that has been closely integrated with the immune system and has multiple effects on innate and adaptive immunity. The pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines can activate and inhibit autophagy, respectively. TNFAIP8L2/TIPE2 (tumor necrosis factor, alpha-induced protein 8-like 2) is a newly identified immune negative regulator of innate and adaptive immunity that plays an important role in immune homeostasis. However, whether and how TNFAIP8L2 controls autophagy is still unknown. Murine TNFAIP8L2 can directly bind to and block the RAC1 GTPase activity to regulate innate immunity. RAC1 can also bind to MTOR and regulate MTORC1 cellular localization and activity. Here, we find that TNFAIP8L2 can compete with MTOR for binding to the GTP-bound state of RAC1 and negatively regulate MTORC1 activity. Interestingly, TNFAIP8L2 overexpression fails to induce autophagy flux by the suppression of the MTOR activity under glutamine and serum starvation. Instead, TNFAIP8L2 appears to impair autophagic lysosome reformation (ALR) during prolonged starvation. Finally, we demonstrate that TNFAIP8L2 overexpression leads to a defect in MTOR reactivation and disrupts autophagy flux, thereby leading to cell death. Furthermore, TNFAIP8L2 deficiency can exacerbate the inflammatory response and lung injury by controlling the MTOR activity in an LPS-induced mouse endotoxemia model. Our study reveals a novel role of TNFAIP8L2 in autophagy by regulating the RAC1-MTORC1 axis that supports its potential as a target for therapeutic treatment.Abbreviations: ALR: autophagic lysosome reformation; BafA1: bafilomycin A1; BMDMs: bone marrow-derived macrophages; Co-IP: Co-Immunoprecipitation; LAMP1: lysosomal associated membrane protein 1; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MTORC1: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase complex 1; RAPA: rapamycin; RPS6: ribosomal protein S6; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; Starv: Starvation; TNFAIP8L2/TIPE2: tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced protein-8 like-2.

Project description:BackgroundEmerging evidence has revealed that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and exosomes play a crucial role in the microenvironment for tumor growth. However, the mechanisms through which exosomal miRNAs modulate TAMs and tumor development in breast cancer are not fully understood.MethodsWe constructed a macrophage model and an indirect coculture system consist of breast cancer cells and macrophages. Exosomes were isolated from BC cells culture supernatant and identified by transmission electron microscopy, Western blot and Nanosight LM10 system. The expression of miR-148b-3p in exosomes was determined by qRT-PCR and the effect of exosomal miR-148b-3p on macrophage polarization was measured using qRT-PCR and ELISA. The proliferation, migration and invasion of BC cells were estimated by EdU, wound healing assay and transwell assay. We employed bioinformatics, luciferase reporter assay and Western blot to identify the target gene of miR-148b-3p. Western blot was used to clarify the mechanism of exosomal miR-148b-3p mediated the crosstalk between BC cells and M2 macrophages.ResultsCancer-derived exosomes could induce M2 polarization of macrophages, which promoted the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. We found that exosomal miR-148b-3p was overexpressed in breast cancer cell-derived exosomes and correlated with lymph node metastasis, late tumor stage and worse prognosis. Upregulated miR-148b-3p expression in exosomes modulated macrophage polarization by targeting TSC2, which promoted the proliferation and might affect migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. Interestingly, we found that exosomal miR-148b-3p could induce M2 macrophage polarization via the TSC2/mTORC1 signaling pathway in breast cancer.ConclusionOverall, our study elucidated that miR-148b-3p could be transported by exosomes from breast cancer cells to surrounding macrophages and induced M2 polarization by targeting TSC2, providing novel insights for breast cancer therapy.

Project description:Prevalence of vitamin D (VD) deficiency and its association with the risk of cardiovascular disease prompted us to evaluate the effect of VD status on lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolemic microswine.Yucatan microswine were fed with VD-deficient (0 IU/d), VD-sufficient (1000 IU/d), or VD-supplemented (3000 IU/d) high-cholesterol diet for 48 weeks. Serum lipids and 25(OH)-cholecalciferol levels were measured biweekly. Histology and biochemical parameters of liver and arteries were analyzed. Effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on cholesterol metabolism was examined in human hepatocyte carcinoma cell line (HepG2) and human monocytic cell line (THP-1) macrophage-derived foam cells. VD deficiency decreased plasma high-density lipoprotein levels, expression of liver X receptors, ATP-binding membrane cassette transporter A1, and ATP-binding membrane cassette transporter G1 and promoted cholesterol accumulation and atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolemic microswine. VD promoted nascent high-density lipoprotein formation in HepG2 cells via ATP-binding membrane cassette transporter A1-mediated cholesterol efflux. Cytochrome P450 (CYP)27B1 and VD receptor were predominantly present in the CD206(+) M2 macrophage foam cell-accumulated cores in coronary artery plaques. 1,25(OH)2D3 increased the expression of liver X receptors, ATP-binding membrane cassette transporter A1, and ATP-binding membrane cassette transporter G1 and promoted cholesterol efflux in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells. 1,25(OH)2D3 decreased intracellular free cholesterol and polarized macrophages to M2 phenotype with decreased expression of tumor necrosis factor-?, interleukin-1?, interleukin-6 under lipopolysaccharide stimulation. 1,25(OH)2D3 markedly induced CYP27A1 expression via a VD receptor-dependent c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) 1/2 signaling pathway and increased 27-hydroxycholesterol levels, which induced liver X receptors, ATP-binding membrane cassette transporter A1, and ATP-binding membrane cassette transporter G1 expression and stimulated cholesterol efflux that was inhibited by VD receptor antagonist and JNK1/2 signaling inhibitor in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cell.VD protects against atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolemic swine via controlling cholesterol efflux and macrophage polarization via increased CYP27A1 activation.

Project description:Inflammation is implicated in ischemic stroke and is involved in abnormal homeostasis. Activation of the immune system leads to breakdown of the blood-brain barrier and, thereby, infiltration of immune cells into the brain. Upon cerebral ischemia, infiltrated macrophages and microglia (resident CNS immune cell) are activated, change their phenotype to M1 or M2 based on the microenvironment, migrate toward damaged tissue, and are involved in repair or damage. Those of M1 phenotype release pro-inflammatory mediators, which are associated with tissue damage, while those of M2 phenotype release anti-inflammatory mediators, which are related to tissue recovery. Moreover, late inflammation continually stimulates immune cell infiltration and leads to brain infarction. Therefore, regulation of M1/M2 phenotypes under persistent inflammatory conditions after cerebral ischemia is important for brain repair. Herein, we focus on apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1), which is involved in apoptotic cell death, brain infarction, and production of inflammatory mediators after cerebral ischemia. We hypothesized that ASK1 is involved in the polarization of M1/M2 phenotype and the function of microglia and macrophage during the late stage of ischemia/hypoxia. We investigated the effects of ASK1 in mice subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion and on BV2 microglia and RAW264.7 macrophage cell lines subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation. Our results showed that ASK1 silencing effectively reduced Iba-1 or CD11b-positive cells in ischemic areas, suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increased anti-inflammatory mediator levels at 7 days after cerebral ischemia. In cultured microglia and macrophages, ASK1 inhibition, induced by NQDI-1 drug, decreased the expression and release of M1-associated factors and increased those of M2-associated factors after hypoxia/reperfusion (H/R). At the gene level, ASK1 inhibition suppressed M1-associated genes and augmented M2-associated genes. In gap closure assay, ASK1 inhibition reduced the migration rate of microglia and macrophages after H/R. Taken together, our results provide new information that suggests ASK1 controls the polarization of M1/M2 and the function of microglia and macrophage under sustained-inflammatory conditions. Regulation of persistent inflammation via M1/M2 polarization by ASK1 is a novel strategy for repair after ischemic stroke.
