Olfactomedin 4-Positive Neutrophils Are Upregulated after Hemorrhagic Shock.

ABSTRACT: Neutrophils are vital to both the inflammatory cascade and tissue repair after an injury. Neutrophil heterogeneity is well established but there is less evidence for significant, different functional roles for neutrophil subsets. OLFM4 (Olfactomedin-4) is expressed by a subset of neutrophils, and high expression of OLFM4 is associated with worse outcomes in patients with sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome. We hypothesized that an increased number of OLFM4⁺ neutrophils would occur in trauma patients with worse clinical outcomes. To test this, we prospectively enrolled patients who suffered a blunt traumatic injury. Blood was collected at the time of admission, Day 3, and Day 7 and analyzed for the percentage of neutrophils expressing OLFM4. We found that a subset of patients who suffered blunt traumatic injury upregulated their percentage of OLFM4⁺ neutrophils. Those who upregulated their OLFM4 had an increased length of stay, days in the ICU, and ventilator days. A majority of these patients also suffered from hemorrhagic shock. To establish a potential role for OLFM4⁺ neutrophils, we used a murine model of hemorrhagic shock because mice also express OLFM4 in a subset of neutrophils. These studies demonstrated that wild type mice had higher concentrations of cytokines in the plasma and myeloperoxidase in the lungs compared with OLFM4-null mice. In addition, we used an anti-OLFM4 antibody, which when given to wild type mice led to the reduction of myeloperoxidase in the lungs of mice. These findings suggest that OLFM4⁺ neutrophils are a unique subset of neutrophils that affect the inflammatory response after tissue injury.

Complement C5a Alters the Membrane Potential of Neutrophils during Hemorrhagic Shock.

Project description:BackgroundPolymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN) play a crucial role in host defense. Physiologically, exposure of PMN to the complement activation product C5a results in a protective response against pathogens, whereas in the case of systemic inflammation, excessive C5a substantially impairs neutrophil functions. To further elucidate the inability of PMN to properly respond to C5a, this study investigates the role of the cellular membrane potential of PMN in response to C5a.MethodsElectrophysiological changes in cellular and mitochondrial membrane potential and intracellular pH of PMN from human healthy volunteers were determined by flow cytometry after exposure to C5a. Furthermore, PMN from male Bretoncelles-Meishan-Willebrand cross-bred pigs before and three hours after severe hemorrhagic shock were analyzed for their electrophysiological response.ResultsPMN showed a significant dose- and time-dependent depolarization in response to C5a with a strong response after one minute. The chemotactic peptide fMLP also evoked a significant shift in the membrane potential of PMN. Acidification of the cellular microenvironment significantly enhanced depolarization of PMN. In a clinically relevant model of porcine hemorrhagic shock, the C5a-induced changes in membrane potential of PMN were markedly diminished compared to healthy littermates. Overall, these membrane potential changes may contribute to PMN dysfunction in an inflammatory environment.

Olfactomedin 4 defines a subset of human neutrophils.

Project description:OLFM4 was identified initially as a gene highly induced in myeloid stem cells by G-CSF treatment. A bioinformatics method using a global meta-analysis of microarray data predicted that OLFM4 would be associated with specific granules in human neutrophils. Subcellular fractionation of peripheral blood neutrophils demonstrated complete colocalization of OLFM4 with the specific granule protein NGAL, and stimulation of neutrophils with PMA resulted in corelease of NGAL and OLFM4, proving that OLFM4 is a genuine constituent of neutrophil-specific granules. In accordance with this, OLFM4 mRNA peaked at the MY/MM stage of maturation. OLFM4 was, however, present in only 20-25% of peripheral blood neutrophils, as determined by immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry, whereas mRNA for OLFM4 was present in all MY/MM, indicating post-transcriptional regulation as a basis for the heterogeneous expression of OLFM4 protein.

Olfactomedin 4 marks a subset of neutrophils in mice.

Project description:Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cell of the innate immune system and participate in essential immune functions. Heterogeneity within neutrophils has been documented, but it is difficult to distinguish if these are altered activation states of a single population or separate subpopulations of neutrophils determined at the time of differentiation. Several groups have identified a subset of human neutrophils that express olfactomedin 4 (OLFM4) and increased OLFM4+ neutrophils during sepsis is correlated with worse outcome, suggesting these neutrophils or the OLFM4 they secrete may be pathogenic. We tested if mice could be used as a model to study OLFM4+ neutrophils. We found the OLFM4 expressing subset of neutrophils is conserved in mice. Depending on the strain, 7-35% of murine neutrophils express OLFM4 and expression is determined early in neutrophil differentiation. OLFM4+ neutrophils phagocytose and transmigrate with similar efficiency as OLFM4- neutrophils. Here we show that within neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) OLFM4+ and OLFM4- neutrophils undergo NETosis and OLFM4 colocalizes. Finally, we generated an OLFM4 null mouse and show that these mice are protected from death when challenged with sepsis, providing further evidence that the OLFM4 expressing subpopulation of neutrophils, or the OLFM4 they secrete, may be pathogenic during overwhelming infection.

Longitudinal characterization of olfactomedin-4 expressing neutrophils in pediatric patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation.

Project description:Sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients. Increased expression of olfactomedin-4 (OLFM4), a glycoprotein contained within a subpopulation of neutrophils, has been associated with complicated course in sepsis. The factors that regulate OLFM4 expression are unknown. Here, we followed children undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to document the percentage of neutrophils that express OLFM4 over time. This population was selected because of the ability to observe nascent neutrophils following engraftment, perform frequent blood sampling, and the children are at high risk for clinical complications that may associate with changes in percentage of OLFM4+ neutrophils. We found a surprising degree of variability of OLFM4 expression between patients. In the weeks following initial neutrophil recovery we also saw great variability in OLFM4 expression within individual patients, indicating that multiple external factors may modify OLFM4 expression. We identified decreased expression of CD64 (a marker associated with response to infection), in OLFM4+ neutrophils. This is the first study to demonstrate fluctuation in OLFM4 expression within patients and provides insight into possible mechanisms for OLFM4 regulation in nascent neutrophils.

Ebola Hemorrhagic Shock Syndrome-on-a-Chip.

Project description:Ebola virus, for which we lack effective countermeasures, causes hemorrhagic fever in humans, with significant case fatality rates. Lack of experimental human models for Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a major obstacle that hinders the development of treatment strategies. Here, we model the Ebola hemorrhagic syndrome in a microvessel-on-a-chip system and demonstrate its applicability to drug studies. Luminal infusion of Ebola virus-like particles leads to albumin leakage from the engineered vessels. The process is mediated by the Rho/ROCK pathway and is associated with cytoskeleton remodeling. Infusion of Ebola glycoprotein (GP1,2) generates a similar phenotype, indicating the key role of GP1,2 in this process. Finally, we measured the potency of a recently developed experimental drug FX06 and a novel drug candidate, melatonin, in phenotypic rescue. Our study confirms the effects of FX06 and identifies melatonin as an effective, safe, inexpensive therapeutic option that is worth investigating in animal models and human trials.

Olfactomedin-4 Is a Candidate Marker for a Pathogenic Neutrophil Subset in Septic Shock.

Project description:Heterogeneity in sepsis-related pathobiology presents a significant challenge. Resolving this heterogeneity presents an opportunity to understand pathobiology and improve patient care. Olfactomedin-4 is a neutrophil subset marker and may contribute to sepsis heterogeneity. Our objective was to evaluate the expression of olfactomedin-4 and characterize neutrophil heterogeneity in children with septic shock.Single-center, prospective cohort, as well as secondary analysis of existing transcriptomic and proteomic databases.Tertiary care PICU.Patients from 5 days to 18 years old with septic shock were enrolled. Data collected included the expression of olfactomedin-4 messenger RNA, serum protein concentrations, and percentage of neutrophils that express olfactomedin-4.None.Secondary analysis of existing transcriptomic data demonstrated that olfactomedin-4 is the most highly expressed gene in nonsurvivors of pediatric septic shock, compared with survivors. Secondary analysis of an existing proteomic database corroborated these observations. In a prospectively enrolled cohort, we quantified the percentage of olfactomedin-4+ neutrophils in patients with septic shock. Patients with a complicated course, defined as greater than or equal to two organ failures at day 7 of septic shock or 28-day mortality, had a higher percentage of olfactomedin-4+ neutrophils, compared with those without a complicated course. By logistic regression, the percentage of olfactomedin-4+ neutrophils was independently associated with increased risk of a complicated course (odds ratio, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.01-1.17; p = 0.024).Olfactomedin-4 identifies a subpopulation of neutrophils in patients with septic shock, and those with a high percentage of olfactomedin-4+ neutrophils are at higher risk for greater organ failure burden and death. Olfactomedin-4 might serve as a marker of a pathogenic neutrophil subset in patients with septic shock.

Protective Effect of Phosphatidylserine Blockade in Hemorrhagic Shock.

Project description:BackgroundPhosphatidylserine (PS) is a key cell membrane phospholipid normally maintained on the inner cell surface but externalizes to the outer surface in response to cellular stress. We hypothesized that PS exposure mediates organ dysfunction in hemorrhagic shock. Our aims were to evaluate PS blockade on (1) pulmonary, (2) renal, and (3) gut function, as well as (4) serum lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), an inflammatory mediator generated by PS externalization, as a possible mechanism mediating organ dysfunction.Materials and methodsRats were either (1) monitored for 130 min (controls, n = 3), (2) hemorrhaged then resuscitated (hemorrhage only group, n = 3), or (3) treated with Diannexin (DA), a PS blocking agent, followed by hemorrhage and resuscitation (DA + hemorrhage group, n = 4). Pulmonary dysfunction was assessed by arterial partial pressure of oxygen, renal dysfunction by serum creatinine, and gut dysfunction by mesenteric endothelial permeability (LP). LPA levels were measured in all groups.ResultsPulmonary: there was no difference in arterial partial pressure of oxygen between groups. Renal: after resuscitation, creatinine levels were lower after PS blockade with DA versus hemorrhage only group (P = 0.01). Gut: LP was decreased after PS blockade with DA versus hemorrhage only group (P < 0.01). Finally, LPA levels were also lower after PS blockade with DA versus the hemorrhage only group but higher than the control group (P < 0.01).ConclusionsPS blockade with DA decreased renal and gut dysfunction associated with hemorrhagic shock and attenuated the magnitude of LPA generation. Our findings suggest potential for therapeutic targets in the future that could prevent organ dysfunction associated with hemorrhagic shock.

Extracellular CIRP activates STING to exacerbate hemorrhagic shock.

Project description:Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) activates TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) to produce type I IFNs. Extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP) is released from cells during hemorrhagic shock (HS). We hypothesized that eCIRP activates STING to induce inflammation and acute lung injury (ALI) after HS. WT and STING-/- mice underwent controlled hemorrhage by bleeding, followed by fluid resuscitation. Blood and lungs were collected at 4 hours after resuscitation. Serum ALT, AST, LDH, IL-6, and IFN-β were significantly decreased in STING-/- mice compared with WT mice after HS. In STING-/- mice, the levels of pTBK1 and pIRF3, and expression of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β mRNAs and proteins in the lungs, were significantly decreased compared with WT HS mice. The 10-day mortality rate in STING-/- mice was significantly reduced. I.v. injection of recombinant mouse CIRP (rmCIRP) in STING-/- mice showed a significant decrease in pTBK1 and pIRF3 and in IFN-α and IFN-β mRNAs and proteins in the lungs compared with rmCIRP-treated WT mice. Treatment of TLR4-/-, MyD88-/-, and TRIF-/- macrophages with rmCIRP significantly decreased pTBK1 and pIRF3 levels and IFN-α and IFN-β mRNAs and proteins compared with WT macrophages. HS increases eCIRP levels, which activate STING through TLR4/MyD88/TRIF pathways to exacerbate inflammation.

Peptidomic Analysis of Rat Plasma: Proteolysis in Hemorrhagic Shock.

Project description:It has been previously shown that intestinal proteases translocate into the circulation during hemorrhagic shock and contribute to proteolysis in distal organs. However, consequences of this phenomenon have not previously been investigated using high-throughput approaches. Here, a shotgun label-free quantitative proteomic approach was utilized to compare the peptidome of plasma samples from healthy and hemorrhagic shock rats to verify the possible role of uncontrolled proteolytic activity in shock. Plasma was collected from rats after hemorrhagic shock (HS) consisting of 2-h hypovolemia followed by 2-h reperfusion, and from healthy control (CTRL) rats. A new two-step enrichment method was applied to selectively extract peptides and low molecular weight proteins from plasma, and directly analyze these samples by tandem mass spectrometry. One hundred twenty-six circulating peptides were identified in CTRL and 295 in HS animals. Ninety-six peptides were present in both conditions; of these, 57 increased and 30 decreased in shock. In total, 256 peptides were increased or present only in HS confirming a general increase in proteolytic activity in shock. Analysis of the proteases that potentially generated the identified peptides suggests that the larger relative contribution to the proteolytic activity in shock is due to chymotryptic-like proteases. These results provide quantitative confirmation that extensive, system-wide proteolysis is part of the complex pathologic phenomena occurring in hemorrhagic shock.
