CCR5 signaling promotes lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage recruitment and alveolar developmental arrest.

ABSTRACT: The pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), involves inflammatory, mechanisms that are not fully characterized. Here we report that overexpression of C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) and its ligands is associated with BPD development. Lipopolysaccharide-induced BPD rats have increased CCR5 and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels, and decreased alveolarization, while CCR5 or IL-1β receptor antagonist treatments decreased inflammation and increased alveolarization. CCR5 enhances macrophage migration, macrophage infiltration in the lungs, IL-1β levels, lysyl oxidase activity, and alveolar development arrest. CCR5 expression on monocytes, and its ligands in blood samples from BPD infants, are elevated. Furthermore, batyl alcohol supplementation reduced CCR5 expression and IL-1β production in lipopolysaccharide-exposed rat lungs. Moreover, receptor-interacting kinase 3 (RIP3) upstream regulator of CCR5-cultured RIP3^-/- macrophages exhibited partly blocked lipopolysaccharide-induced CCR5 expression. We conclude that increased CCR5 expression is a key mechanism in BPD development and represents a novel therapeutic target for treatment.

CD44 regulates macrophage recruitment to the lung in lipopolysaccharide-induced airway disease.

Project description:LPS from bacteria is ubiquitous in the environment and can cause airway disease and modify allergic asthma. Identification of gene products that modulate the biologic response to inhaled LPS will improve our understanding of inflammatory airways disease. Previous work has identified quantitative trait loci for the response to inhaled LPS on chromosomes 2 and 11. In these regions, 28 genes had altered RNA expression after inhalation of LPS, including CD44, which was associated with differences in both TNF-alpha levels and neutrophil recruitment into the lung. It has previously been shown that CD44 can modulate macrophage recruitment in response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as well as clearance of neutrophils after lung injury with both bleomycin and live Escherichia coli bacteria. In this study, we demonstrate that the biologic response to inhaled LPS is modified by CD44. Macrophages failed to be recruited to the lungs of CD44-deficient animals at all time points after LPS exposure. CD44-deficient macrophages showed reduced motility in a Transwell migration assay, reduced ability to secrete the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha, reduced in vivo migration in response to monocyte chemotactic protein-1, and diminished adhesion to vascular endothelia in the presence of TNF-alpha. In addition, CD44-deficient animals had 150% fewer neutrophils at 24 h and 50% greater neutrophils 48 h after LPS exposure. These results support the role of CD44 in modulating the biologic response to inhaled LPS.

Mechanisms of the lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response in alveolar epithelial cell/macrophage co-culture.

Project description:The interaction between alveolar epithelial cells (EpCs) and macrophages (MPs) serves an important role in initiating and maintaining inflammation in chronic pulmonary diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms of the inflammatory response in co-cultured EpCs and MPs. Briefly, a co-culture system of A549 (EpCs) and THP-1 (monocyte/MPs) cells was established in a filter-separated Transwell plate to evaluate the inflammatory response. Following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment, cytokine levels were measured using ELISAs, NF-?B transcription factor activity was detected using EMSA and protein expression levels were analyzed using Western blot assays subsequently in EpCs and MPs. Co-cultured EpCs/MPs were found to secrete increased levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1?, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-? following LPS exposure for 6, 12, 24 and 48 h compared with either EpC or MP monocultures. Concurrently, NF-?B was revealed to be activated in MPs at 6 and 12 h, and in EpCs at 24 h. NF-?B DNA binding, Toll-like receptor 4 expression levels and the p65 phosphorylation status were also increased, which may contribute to the inflammatory response in the EpC/MP co-cultures. Notably, cytokine levels decreased following the inhibition of NF-?B expression with pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate. In conclusion, the present study successfully established an EpC/MP co-culture system using LPS, which may be a useful model for studying chronic inflammation in vitro.

Deficiency of Lactoferrin aggravates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute inflammation via recruitment macrophage in mice.

Project description:Lactoferrin (Lf), a multiple functional natural immune protein, is widely distributed in mammalian milk and glandular secretions (bile, saliva, tears and nasal mucosal secretions, etc.). In the previous study, we found that Lf plays an anti-inflammatory and anti-tumorigenesis role in AOM/DSS (azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium) induced mouse colitis-associated colon cancer model. Although we found that Lf has anti-inflammatory effects in chronic inflammation, its specific role and mechanisms in acute inflammation have not been clarified. Here, we reported that the expression levels of Lf were significantly increased when the organism was infected by Gram-negative bacteria. We then explored the role and potential mechanism of Lf in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute inflammation. In the LPS-induced acute abdominal inflammation model, Lf deficiency aggravated inflammatory response and promoted macrophage chemotaxis to the inflammation site. Lf inhibited macrophage chemotaxis by suppressing the expression of macrophage-associated chemokines Ccl2 and Ccl5. Highly activated NF-κB signaling in Lf-/- mice was responsible for the high expression of Ccl2 and Ccl5. Our results suggested that the anti-inflammatory effect of Lf offers a new potential treatment for acute inflammatory diseases.

MiR-199a-3p-regulated alveolar macrophage-derived secretory autophagosomes exacerbate lipopolysaccharide-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Project description:PurposeAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a prevalent illness in intensive care units. Extracellular vesicles and particles released from activated alveolar macrophages (AMs) assist in ARDS lung injury and the inflammatory process through mechanisms that are unclear. This study investigated the role of AM-derived secretory autophagosomes (SAPs) in lung injury and microRNA (MiR)-199a-3p-regulated inflammation associated with ARDS in vitro and in a murine model.MethodsThe ARDS model in mouse was established by intratracheal LPS lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. The agomirs or antagomirs of MiR-199a-3p were injected into the caudal vein to figure out whether MiR-199a-3p could influence ARDS inflammation and lung injury, whereas the mimics or inhibitors of MiR-199a-3p, siRNA of Rab8a, or PAK4 inhibitor were transfected or applied to RAW264.7 cells to evaluate the mechanism of SAP release. Culture supernatants of RAW264.7 cells treated with LPS or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from mice were collected for the isolation of SAPs.ResultsWe found that MiR-199a-3p was over-expressed in the lungs of ARDS mice. The MiR-199a-3p antagomir alleviated, whereas the MiR-199a-3p agomir exacerbated LPS-induced inflammation in mice by promoting AM-derived SAP secretion. In addition, MiR-199a-3p over-expression exacerbated LPS-induced ARDS via activating Rab8a, and Rab8a silencing significantly suppressed the promoting influence of the MiR-199a-3p mimic on SAP secretion. Furthermore, MiR-199a-3p mimic activated Rab8a by directly inhibiting PAK4 expression.ConclusionThe novel finding of this study is that MiR-199a-3p participated in the regulation of SAP secretion and the inflammatory process via targeting of PAK4/Rab8a, and is a potential therapeutic candidate for ARDS treatment.

TNFalpha-induced MMP-9 promotes macrophage recruitment into injured peripheral nerve.

Project description:Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an extracellular protease that is induced hours after injury to peripheral nerve. This study shows that MMP-9 gene deletion and neutralization with MMP-9 antibody reduce macrophage content in injured wild-type nerves. In mice with delayed Wallerian degeneration (WldS), MMP-9 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) decline in association with the reduced macrophage recruitment to injured nerve that characterizes this strain of mice. We further determined that TNFalpha acts as an MMP-9 inducer by establishing increased MMP-9 levels after TNFalpha injection in rat sciatic nerve in vivo and primary Schwann cells in vitro. We found reduced MMP-9 expression in crushed TNFalpha knockout nerves that was rescued with exogenous TNFalpha. Finally, local application of MMP-9 on TNFalpha-/- nerves increased macrophage recruitment to the lesion. These data suggest that TNFalpha lies upstream of MMP-9 in the pathway of macrophage recruitment to injured peripheral nerve.

CCL21-CCR7 signaling promotes microglia/macrophage recruitment and chemotherapy resistance in glioblastoma.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and fatal primary tumor of the central nervous system (CNS) and current treatments have limited success. Chemokine signaling regulates both malignant cells and stromal cells of the tumor microenvironment (TME), constituting a potential therapeutic target against brain cancers. Here, we investigated the C-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CCR7) and the chemokine (C-C-motif) ligand 21 (CCL21) for their expression and function in human GBM and then assessed their therapeutic potential in preclinical mouse GBM models. In GBM patients, CCR7 expression positively associated with a poor survival. CCL21-CCR7 signaling was shown to regulate tumor cell migration and proliferation while also controlling tumor associated microglia/macrophage recruitment and VEGF-A production, thereby controlling vascular dysmorphia. Inhibition of CCL21-CCR7 signaling led to an increased sensitivity to temozolomide-induced tumor cell death. Collectively, our data indicate that drug targeting of CCL21-CCR7 signaling in tumor and TME cells is a therapeutic option against GBM.

Alveolar macrophage-derived gVPLA2 promotes ventilator-induced lung injury via the cPLA2/PGE2 pathway.

Project description:BackgroundVentilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is a clinical complication of mechanical ventilation observed in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. It is characterized by inflammation mediated by inflammatory cells and their secreted mediators.MethodsTo investigate the mechanisms underlying VILI, a C57BL/6J mouse model was induced using high tidal volume (HTV) mechanical ventilation. Mice were pretreated with Clodronate liposomes to deplete alveolar macrophages or administered normal bone marrow-derived macrophages or Group V phospholipase A2 (gVPLA2) intratracheally to inhibit bone marrow-derived macrophages. Lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected to assess lung injury and measure Ca2 + concentration, gVPLA2, downstream phosphorylated cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (p-cPLA2), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), protein expression related to mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial damage. Cellular experiments were performed to complement the animal studies.ResultsDepletion of alveolar macrophages attenuated HTV-induced lung injury and reduced gVPLA2 levels in alveolar lavage fluid. Similarly, inhibition of alveolar macrophage-derived gVPLA2 had a similar effect. Activation of the cPLA2/PGE2/Ca2 + pathway in alveolar epithelial cells by gVPLA2 derived from alveolar macrophages led to disturbances in mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial dysfunction. The findings from cellular experiments were consistent with those of animal experiments.ConclusionsHTV mechanical ventilation induces the secretion of gVPLA2 by alveolar macrophages, which activates the cPLA2/PGE2/Ca2 + pathway, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction. These findings provide insights into the pathogenesis of VILI and may contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies for preventing or treating VILI.

Alveolar Macrophage ABCG1 Deficiency Promotes Pulmonary Granulomatous Inflammation.

Project description:Pulmonary granuloma formation is a complex and poorly understood response to inhaled pathogens and particulate matter. To explore the mechanisms of pulmonary granuloma formation and maintenance, our laboratory has developed a multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-induced murine model of chronic granulomatous inflammation. We have demonstrated that the MWCNT model closely mimics pulmonary sarcoidosis pathophysiology, including the deficiency of alveolar macrophage ATP-binding cassette (ABC) lipid transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1. We hypothesized that deficiency of alveolar macrophage ABCA1 and ABCG1 would promote pulmonary granuloma formation and inflammation. To test this hypothesis, the effects of MWCNT instillation were evaluated in ABCA1, ABCG1, and ABCA1/ABCG1 myeloid-specific knockout (KO) mice. Histological examination revealed significantly larger pulmonary granulomas in ABCG1-KO and ABCA1/ABCG1 double-KO animals when compared with wild-type animals. Evaluation of BAL cells indicated increased expression of CCL2 and osteopontin, genes shown to be involved in the formation and maintenance of pulmonary granulomas. Single deficiency of alveolar macrophage ABCA1 did not affect MWCNT-induced granuloma formation or proinflammatory gene expression. These observations indicate that the deficiency of alveolar macrophage ABCG1 promotes pulmonary granulomatous inflammation and that this is augmented by additional deletion of ABCA1.

Hedgehog signaling promotes tumor-associated macrophage polarization to suppress intratumoral CD8+ T cell recruitment.

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) usually display an antiinflammatory M2-like phenotype to facilitate tumor growth. However, what drives M2 polarization of TAMs and how TAMs suppress antitumor immunity within the tumor microenvironment (TME) remain largely undefined. Using several murine tumor models, we showed that hedgehog (Hh) signaling in myeloid cells is critical for TAM M2 polarization and tumor growth. We also found that tumor cells secrete sonic hedgehog (SHH), an Hh ligand, and that tumor-derived SHH drives TAM M2 polarization. Furthermore, Hh-induced functional polarization in TAMs suppresses CD8+ T cell recruitment to the TME through the inhibition of CXCL9 and CXCL10 production by TAMs. Last, we demonstrated that Krüppel-like factor 4 (Klf4) mediates Hh-dependent TAM M2 polarization and the immunosuppressive function. Collectively, these findings highlight a critical role for tumor-derived SHH in promoting TAM M2 polarization, a mechanism for TAM-mediated immunosuppression, and may provide insights into the design of new cancer immunotherapeutic strategies.

Hypoxia-induced ZEB1 promotes cervical cancer progression via CCL8-dependent tumour-associated macrophage recruitment.

Project description:The accumulation of tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the hypoxic tumour microenvironment (TME) is associated with malignant progression in cancer. However, the mechanisms by which the hypoxic TME facilitates TAM infiltration are not fully understood. This study showed that high ZEB1 expression in hypoxic cervical cancer cell islets was positively correlated with CD163+ TAM accumulation. ZEB1 in hypoxic cancer cells promoted the migration of TAMs in vitro and altered the expression of multiple chemokines, especially CCL8. Mechanistically, hypoxia-induced ZEB1 activated the transcription of CCL8, which attracted macrophages via the CCR2-NF-κB pathway. Furthermore, ZEB1 and CCL8 were independent prognostic factors in cervical cancer patients based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data analysis. In conclusion, hypoxia-induced ZEB1 exerts unexpected functions in cancer progression by fostering a prometastatic environment through increased CCL8 secretion and TAM recruitment; thus, ZEB1 may serve as a candidate biomarker of tumour progression and provide a potential target for disrupting hypoxia-mediated TME remodelling.
