Bacterial Lipopolysaccharides Suppress Erythroblastic Islands and Erythropoiesis in the Bone Marrow in an Extrinsic and G- CSF-, IL-1-, and TNF-Independent Manner.

ABSTRACT: Anemia of inflammation (AI) is the second most prevalent anemia after iron deficiency anemia and results in persistent low blood erythrocytes and hemoglobin, fatigue, weakness, and early death. Anemia of inflammation is common in people with chronic inflammation, chronic infections, or sepsis. Although several studies have reported the effect of inflammation on stress erythropoiesis and iron homeostasis, the mechanisms by which inflammation suppresses erythropoiesis in the bone marrow (BM), where differentiation and maturation of erythroid cells from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) occurs, have not been extensively studied. Here we show that in a mouse model of acute sepsis, bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) suppress medullary erythroblastic islands (EBIs) and erythropoiesis in a TLR-4- and MyD88-dependent manner with concomitant mobilization of HSCs. LPS suppressive effect on erythropoiesis is indirect as erythroid progenitors and erythroblasts do not express TLR-4 whereas EBI macrophages do. Using cytokine receptor gene knock-out mice LPS-induced mobilization of HSCs is G-CSF-dependent whereas LPS-induced suppression of medullary erythropoiesis does not require G- CSF-, IL- 1-, or TNF-mediated signaling. Therefore suppression of medullary erythropoiesis and mobilization of HSCs in response to LPS are mechanistically distinct. Our findings also suggest that EBI macrophages in the BM may sense innate immune stimuli in response to acute inflammation or infections to rapidly convert to a pro-inflammatory function at the expense of their erythropoietic function.

Project description:BackgroundTrauma is associated with widespread inflammation, neuroendocrine activation, and an inadequate bone marrow response to anemia. During late-stage erythropoiesis, erythroid progenitors/erythroblasts form clusters on the surface of specialized bone marrow macrophages where they are supported through terminal differentiation and enucleation. We hypothesized that these erythroblastic islands (EBIs) are adversely impacted by severe trauma.MethodsMale Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 8/group) were subjected to either multiple injuries (PT) (lung contusion, hemorrhagic shock, cecectomy, and bifemoral pseudofractures), PT plus 2 hours of daily chronic restraint stress (PT/CS), or naive controls. Bone marrow was harvested on days 2 and 7. Nuclear-stained, enriched bone marrow EBIs were fixed and stained for CD71, VCAM-1, and CD163, and confocal images were obtained at 20 times magnification. Numbers of erythroid cells/EBI and ratio of reticulocytes/EBI were counted by a blinded observer. Differences were compared using analysis of variance, with significance defined as p < 0.05.ResultsPT and PT/CS had significantly reduced numbers of erythroid cells per EBI on day 2 when compared with naive (PT: 5.9 ± 1.0 cells [ p < 0.05], PT/CS: 6.8 ± 0.8 cells [ p < 0.05] vs. naive: 8.5 ± 0.8 cells). On day 7, the number of erythroid cells/EBI increased following PT (8.3 ± 0.4 cells) but remained reduced following PT/CS (5.9 ± 0.5 cells [ p < 0.05]). This correlated with an increased proportion of reticulocytes/EBI on day 7 following PT, which was not present following PT/CS (PT: 54% [ p < 0.05] vs. PT/CS: 28%).ConclusionLate-stage erythropoiesis was altered following multicompartmental PT early after injury, and these alterations persisted with the addition of daily chronic stress. Alterations in EBI structure and function after severe trauma and critical illness may serve as a promising new area of study to improve mechanistic understanding of persistent anemia after trauma.
