Calcitriol in the Presence of Conditioned Media from Metastatic Breast Cancer Cells Enhances Ex Vivo Polarization of M2 Alternative Murine Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we differentiated murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) into M0, M1, and M2 in the presence or absence of calcitriol. Real-time PCR analysis of gene expression, FACS analysis of surface markers, and chemokine/cytokine production assays were performed. In addition, the effect of the conditioned media (CM) from murine breast cancer 4T1 (metastatic) and 67NR (non-metastatic) and Eph4-Ev (normal) cells with and without calcitriol on the polarization of M1/M2 cells was determined. We found that calcitriol enhanced the differentiation of M2 macrophages, which was manifested by increased expression of Cd206 and Spp1 mRNA and CD36, Arg, and CCL2 in M2 BMDMs and by decreased expression of Cd80 and Spp1 mRNA and IL-1, IL-6, OPN, and iNOS in M1 BMDMs. 4T1 CM showed a higher effect on the gene and protein expression in macrophages than 67NR and Eph4-Ev, with the greatest effect observed on M2 macrophages which increased their differentiation and properties characteristic of alternative macrophages. Moreover, M2 macrophages differentiated with calcitriol-stimulated migration of 4T1 and 67NR cells through fibronectin and collagen type IV, respectively. Overall, our results indicated that vitamin D supplementation may not always be beneficial, especially in relation to cancers causing excessive, pathological activation of the immune system.

Project description:The proteasome is a central regulatory hub for intracellular signaling by degrading numerous signaling mediators. Immunoproteasomes are specialized types of proteasomes involved in shaping adaptive immune responses, but their role in innate immune signaling is still elusive. Here, we analyzed immunoproteasome function for polarization of alveolar macrophages, highly specialized tissue macrophages of the alveolar lung surface. Classical activation (M1 polarization) of primary alveolar macrophages by LPS/IFNγ transcriptionally induced all three immunoproteasome subunits, low molecular mass protein 2 (LMP2), LMP7 and multicatalytic endopeptidase complex-like 1, which was accompanied by increased immunoproteasome activity in M1 cells. Deficiency of LMP7 had no effect on the LPS/IFNγ-triggered M1 profile indicating that immunoproteasome function is dispensable for classical alveolar macrophage activation. In contrast, IL-4 triggered alternative (M2) activation of primary alveolar macrophages was accompanied by a transcriptionally independent amplified expression of LMP2 and LMP7 and an increase in immunoproteasome activity. Alveolar macrophages from LMP7 knockout mice disclosed a distorted M2 profile upon IL-4 stimulation as characterized by increased M2 marker gene expression and CCL17 cytokine release. Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed enrichment of IL-4-responsive genes and of genes involved in cellular response to defense, wounding and inflammation in LMP7-deficient alveolar macrophages indicating a distinct M2 inflammation resolving phenotype. Moreover, augmented M2 polarization was accompanied by amplified AKT/STAT6 activation and increased RNA and protein expression of the M2 master transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 4 in LMP7(-/-) alveolar macrophages. IL-13 stimulation of LMP7-deficient macrophages induced a similar M2-skewed profile indicative for augmented signaling via the IL-4 receptor α (IL4Rα). IL4Rα expression was generally elevated only on protein but not RNA level in LMP7(-/-) alveolar macrophages. Importantly, specific catalytic inhibition with an LMP7-specific proteasome inhibitor confirmed augmented IL-4-mediated M2 polarization of alveolar macrophages. Our results thus suggest a novel role of immunoproteasome function for regulating alternative activation of macrophages by limiting IL4Rα expression and signaling.
