MCPIP-1 Restricts Inflammation via Promoting Apoptosis of Neutrophils.

ABSTRACT: Monocyte chemoattractant protein-induced protein-1 (MCPIP-1) is a potent inhibitor of inflammatory response to pathogens. Acting as endonuclease against transcripts of inflammatory cytokines or transcription factors MCPIP-1 can significantly reduce the cytokine storm, thus limiting the tissue damage. As the adequate resolution of inflammation depends also on the efficient clearance of accumulated neutrophils, we focused on the role of MCPIP-1 in apoptosis and retention of neutrophils. We used peritoneal neutrophils from cell-specific MCPIP-1 knockout mice and showed prolonged survival of these cells. Moreover, we confirmed that MCPIP-1-dependent degradation of transcripts of antiapoptotic genes, including BCL3, BCL2A1, BCL2L1, and for the first time MCL-1, serves as an early event in spontaneous apoptosis of primary neutrophils. Additionally, we identified previously unknown miRNAs as potential binding partners to the MCPIP-1 transcript and their regulation suggest a role in MCPIP-1 half-life and translation. These phenomena may play a role as a molecular switch that balances the MCPIP-1-dependent apoptosis. Besides that, we determined these particular miRNAs as integral components of the GM-CSF-MCPIP-1 axis. Taken together, we identified the novel anti-inflammatory role of MCPIP-1 as a regulator of accumulation and survival of neutrophils that simultaneously promotes an adequate resolution of inflammation.

Project description:Trehalose 6,6'-dimycolate (TDM), a cord factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is an important regulator of immune responses during Mtb infections. Macrophages recognize TDM through the Mincle receptor and initiate TDM-induced inflammatory responses, leading to lung granuloma formation. Although various immune cells are recruited to lung granulomas, the roles of other immune cells, especially during the initial process of TDM-induced inflammation, are not clear. In this study, Mincle signaling on neutrophils played an important role in TDM-induced lung inflammation by promoting adhesion and innate immune responses. Neutrophils were recruited during the early stage of lung inflammation following TDM-induced granuloma formation. Mincle expression on neutrophils was required for infiltration of TDM-challenged sites in a granuloma model induced by TDM-coated-beads. TDM-induced Mincle signaling on neutrophils increased cell adherence by enhancing F-actin polymerization and CD11b/CD18 surface expression. The TDM-induced effects were dependent on Src, Syk, and MAPK/ERK kinases (MEK). Moreover, coactivation of the Mincle and TLR2 pathways by TDM and Pam3CSK4 treatment synergistically induced CD11b/CD18 surface expression, reactive oxygen species, and TNF? production by neutrophils. These synergistically-enhanced immune responses correlated with the degree of Mincle expression on neutrophil surfaces. The physiological relevance of the Mincle-mediated anti-TDM immune response was confirmed by defective immune responses in Mincle?/? mice upon aerosol infections with Mtb. Mincle-mutant mice had higher inflammation levels and mycobacterial loads than WT mice. Neutrophil depletion with anti-Ly6G antibody caused a reduction in IL-6 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 expression upon TDM treatment, and reduced levels of immune cell recruitment during the initial stage of infection. These findings suggest a new role of Mincle signaling on neutrophils during anti-mycobacterial responses.
