Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins, NAIP, cIAP1 and cIAP2 expression during macrophage differentiation and M1/M2 polarization.

ABSTRACT: Monocytes and macrophages constitute the first line of defense of the immune system against external pathogens. Macrophages have a highly plastic phenotype depending on environmental conditions; the extremes of this phenotypic spectrum are a pro-inflammatory defensive role (M1 phenotype) and an anti-inflammatory tissue-repair one (M2 phenotype). The Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP) proteins have important roles in the regulation of several cellular processes, including innate and adaptive immunity. In this study we have analyzed the differential expression of the IAPs, NAIP, cIAP1 and cIAP2, during macrophage differentiation and polarization into M1 or M2. In polarized THP-1 cells and primary human macrophages, NAIP is abundantly expressed in M2 macrophages, while cIAP1 and cIAP2 show an inverse pattern of expression in polarized macrophages, with elevated expression levels of cIAP1 in M2 and cIAP2 preferentially expressed in M1. Interestingly, treatment with the IAP antagonist SMC-LCL161, induced the upregulation of NAIP in M2, the downregulation of cIAP1 in M1 and M2 and an induction of cIAP2 in M1 macrophages.

Project description:Macrophages belong to a special phagocytic subgroup of human leukocytes and are one of the important cells of the human immune system. Small noncoding RNAs are a group of small RNA molecules that can be transcribed without the ability to encode proteins but could play a specific function in cells. SncRNAs mainly include microRNAs (miRNAs) and piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) and repeat RNAs. We used high-throughput sequencing analysis and qPCR to detect the expression changes of the small noncoding RNAome during macrophage polarization. Our results showed that 84 miRNAs and 47 miRNAs with were downregulated during M1 macrophage polarization and that 11 miRNAs were upregulated and 19 miRNAs were downregulated during M2 macrophage polarization. MiR-novel-3-nature and miR-27b-5p could promote expression of TNF-α which was marker gene of M1 macrophages. The piRNA analysis results showed that 69 piRNAs were upregulated and 61 piRNAs were downregulated during M1 macrophage polarization and that 3 piRNAs were upregulated and 10 piRNAs were downregulated during M2 macrophage polarization. DQ551351 and DQ551308 could promote the mRNA expression of TNF-α and DQ551351overexpression promoted the antitumor activity of M1 macrophages. SnoRNA results showed that 62 snoRNAs were upregulated and 59 snoRNAs were downregulated during M1 macrophage polarization, whereas 6 snoRNAs were upregulated and 10 snoRNAs were downregulated during M2 macrophage polarization. Overexpression of snoRNA ENSMUST00000158683.2 could inhibit expression of TNF-α. For snRNA, we found that 12 snRNAs were upregulated and 15 snRNAs were downregulated during M1 macrophage polarization and that 2 snRNAs were upregulated during M2 macrophage polarization. ENSMUSG00000096786 could promote expression of IL-1 and iNOS and ENSMUSG00000096786 overexpression promoted the antitumor activity of M1 macrophages. Analysis of repeat RNAs showed that 7 repeat RNAs were upregulated and 9 repeat RNAs were downregulated during M1 macrophage polarization and that 2 repeat RNAs were downregulated during M2 macrophage polarization. We first reported the expression changes of piRNA, snoRNA, snRNA and repeat RNA during macrophage polarization, and preliminarily confirmed that piRNA, snoRNA and snRNA can regulate the function of macrophages.

Project description:Macrophage polarization plays essential and diverse roles in most diseases, such as atherosclerosis, adipose tissue inflammation, and insulin resistance. Homeostasis dysfunction in M1/M2 macrophage polarization causes pathological conditions and inflammation. Neuroinflammation is characterized by microglial activation and the concomitant production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, leading to numerous neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders. Decreased neuroinflammation can be obtained by using natural compounds, including flavonoids, which are known to ameliorate inflammatory responses. Among flavonoids, quercetin possesses multiple pharmacological applications and regulates several biological activities. In the present study, we found that quercetin effectively inhibited the expression of lipocalin-2 in both macrophages and microglial cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The production of nitric oxide (NO) and expression levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, were also attenuated by quercetin treatment. Our results also showed that quercetin significantly reduced the expression levels of the M1 markers, such as interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-1β, in the macrophages and microglia. The M1 polarization-associated chemokines, C-C motif chemokine ligand (CCL)-2 and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)-10, were also effectively reduced by the quercetin treatment. In addition, quercetin markedly reduced the production of various reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the microglia. The microglial phagocytic ability induced by the LPS was also effectively reduced by the quercetin treatment. Importantly, the quercetin increased the expression levels of the M2 marker, IL-10, and the endogenous antioxidants, heme oxygenase (HO)-1, glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC), glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM), and NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1). The enhancement of the M2 markers and endogenous antioxidants by quercetin was activated by the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and Akt signaling pathways. Together, our study reported that the quercetin inhibited the effects of M1 polarization, including neuroinflammatory responses, ROS production, and phagocytosis. Moreover, the quercetin enhanced the M2 macrophage polarization and endogenous antioxidant expression in both macrophages and microglia. Our findings provide valuable information that quercetin may act as a potential drug for the treatment of diseases related to inflammatory disorders in the central nervous system.
