Modulation of M2 macrophage polarization by the crosstalk between Stat6 and Trim24.

ABSTRACT: Stat6 is known to drive macrophage M2 polarization. However, how macrophage polarization is fine-tuned by Stat6 is poorly understood. Here, we find that Lys383 of Stat6 is acetylated by the acetyltransferase CREB-binding protein (CBP) during macrophage activation to suppress macrophage M2 polarization. Mechanistically, Trim24, a CBP-associated E3 ligase, promotes Stat6 acetylation by catalyzing CBP ubiquitination at Lys119 to facilitate the recruitment of CBP to Stat6. Loss of Trim24 inhibits Stat6 acetylation and thus promotes M2 polarization in both mouse and human macrophages, potentially compromising antitumor immune responses. By contrast, Stat6 mediates the suppression of TRIM24 expression in M2 macrophages to contribute to the induction of an immunosuppressive tumor niche. Taken together, our findings establish Stat6 acetylation as an essential negative regulatory mechanism that curtails macrophage M2 polarization.

Project description:BackgroundKetone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) has received more and more attentions, because it possesses a lot of beneficial, life-preserving effects in the fields of clinical science and medicine. However, the role of BHB in intestinal inflammation has not yet been investigated.MethodsColonic mucosa of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and healthy controls were collected for evaluation of BHB level. Besides, the therapeutic effect of exogenous BHB in a murine model of acute dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis were assessed by body weight change, colon length, disease activity index, and histopathological sections. The regulatory effectors of BHB were analyzed by RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence, and microbe analysis in vivo. Moreover, the molecular mechanism of BHB was further verified in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs).ResultsIn this study, significantly reduced BHB levels were found in the colonic mucosa from IBD patients and correlated with IBD activity index. In addition, we demonstrated that the administration of exogenous BHB alleviated the severity of acute experimental colitis, which was characterized by less weight loss, disease activity index, colon shortening, and histology scores, as well as decreased crypt loss and epithelium damage. Furthermore, BHB resulted in significantly increased colonic expression of M2 macrophage-associated genes, including IL-4Ra, IL-10, arginase 1 (Arg-1), and chitinase-like protein 3, following DSS exposure, suggesting an increased M2 macrophage skewing in vivo. Moreover, an in vitro experiment revealed that the addition of BHB directly promoted STAT6 phosphorylation and M2 macrophage-specific gene expression in IL-4-stimulated macrophages. Besides, we found that BHB obviously increased M2 macrophage-induced mucosal repair through promoting intestinal epithelial proliferation. However, the enhancement effect of BHB on M2 macrophage-induced mucosal repair and anti-inflammation was completely inhibited by the STAT6 inhibitor AS1517499.ConclusionsIn summary, we show that BHB promotes M2 macrophage polarization through the STAT6-dependent signaling pathway, which contributes to the resolution of intestinal inflammation and the repair of damaged intestinal tissues. Our finding suggests that exogenous BHB supplement may be a useful therapeutic approach for IBD treatment.
