15-Epi-LXA4 and 17-epi-RvD1 restore TLR9-mediated impaired neutrophil phagocytosis and accelerate resolution of lung inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Timely resolution of bacterial infections critically depends on phagocytosis of invading pathogens by polymorphonuclear neutrophil granulocytes (PMNs), followed by PMN apoptosis and efferocytosis. Here we report that bacterial DNA (CpG DNA) and mitochondrial DNA impair phagocytosis and attenuate phagocytosis-induced apoptosis in human PMNs through Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9)-mediated release of neutrophil elastase and proteinase 3 and subsequent down-regulation of the complement receptor C5aR. Consistently, CpG DNA delays pulmonary clearance of Escherichia coli in mice and suppresses PMN apoptosis, efferocytosis, and generation of proresolving lipid mediators, thereby prolonging lung inflammation evoked by E. coli Genetic deletion of TLR9 renders mice unresponsive to CpG DNA. We also show that aspirin-triggered 15-epi-lipoxin A4 (15-epi-LXA4) and 17-epi-resolvin D1 (17-epi-RvD1) through the receptor ALX/FPR2 antagonize cues from CpG DNA, preserve C5aR expression, restore impaired phagocytosis, and redirect human PMNs to apoptosis. Treatment of mice with 15-epi-LXA4 or 17-epi-RvD1 at the peak of inflammation accelerates clearance of bacteria, blunts PMN accumulation, and promotes PMN apoptosis and efferocytosis, thereby facilitating resolution of E. coli-evoked lung injury. Collectively, these results uncover a TLR9-mediated endogenous mechanism that impairs PMN phagocytosis and prolongs inflammation, and demonstrate both endogenous and therapeutic potential for 15-epi-LXA4 and 17-epi-RvD1 to restore impaired bacterial clearance and facilitate resolution of acute lung inflammation.

Project description:Sepsis is a major cause of patient mortality and morbidity from bacterial infections. Although neutrophils are known to be important in the development of sepsis, how distinctive neutrophil subtypes regulate inflammatory processes involved in septicemia remains unclear. Preconditioning protects organisms against subsequent higher-dose exposures to the same, or even different, stimuli. Several studies have reported various effects of preconditioning on immune cells. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying neutrophil-mediated protection through preconditioning in sepsis remain unknown. Methods: Flow cytometry was conducted to sort the mice peritoneal lavage cells and the blood samples from patients with sepsis. Western blotting and ELISA were carried out to elucidate the expression of TLR9 signal transduction pathway proteins. Histological analysis was used to assess the effect of InP on intestine and liver structure in tlr9-/- and cav-1-/- mice. Fluorescence microscopy, Co-IP, and FRET were carried out to determine the association of TLR9 with Cav-1. Results: We show that membrane toll-like receptor-9 positive (mTLR9+) neutrophils exert a protective effect against fatal bacterial infections through the process of inflammatory preconditioning (InP). InP, which occurs in the setting of a low-dose bacterial challenge, active ingredient is Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA), triggers the membrane translocation of TLR9 from the neutrophil cytosol, where it binds to Cav-1. Our findings showed that InP enables TLR9 to facilitate MyD88-mediated TRAF3 and IRF3 signal transduction. Depletion of either TLR9 or Cav-1 largely eliminates the neutrophil-mediated InP effect in sepsis models in vitro and in vivo. Further, examination of clinical samples from patients with sepsis showed that clinical outcomes and likelihood of recovery are closely correlated with mTLR9 and Cav-1 expression in circulating neutrophils. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the TLR9-Cav-1 axis is a critical signaling pathway involved in the regulation of neutrophil-dependent MPLA mediated InP, and the presence of mTLR9+ neutrophils could be an attractive indicator of clinical outcomes in bacterial sepsis that could be further explored as a potential therapeutic target.
