Neutrophil-Derived Oncostatin M Triggers Diverse Signaling Pathways during Pneumonia.

ABSTRACT: Pneumonia is a major public health concern, causing significant morbidity and mortality annually despite the broad use of antimicrobial agents. Underlying many of the severe sequelae of acute lung infections is dysfunction of the immune response, which remains incompletely understood yet is an attractive target of adjunct therapy in pneumonia. Here, we investigate the role of oncostatin M (OSM), a pleiotropic cytokine of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family, and how its signaling modulates multiple innate immune pathways during pneumonia. Previously, we showed that OSM is necessary for neutrophil recruitment to the lungs during pneumonia by stimulating STAT3-driven CXCL5 expression. In this study, transcriptional profiling of whole-lung pneumonia with OSM neutralization revealed 241 differentially expressed genes following only 6 h of infection. Many downregulated genes are associated with STAT1, STAT3, and interferon signaling, suggesting these pathways are induced by OSM early in pneumonia. Interestingly, STAT1 and STAT3 activation was subsequently upregulated with OSM neutralization by 24 h, suggesting that OSM interruption dysregulates these central signaling pathways. When we investigated the source of OSM in pneumonia, neutrophils and, to a lesser extent, macrophages appear to be primary sources, suggesting a positive feedback loop of OSM production by neutrophils. From these studies, we conclude that OSM produced by recruited neutrophils tunes early innate immune signaling pathways, improving pneumonia outcomes.

Quantitative phosphoproteomics reveals diverse stimuli activate distinct signaling pathways during neutrophil activation

Project description:Neutrophils play an active role in acute and chronic inflammation by exhibiting functional heterogeneity. Besides beneficial role in acute infections to eliminate pathogens, neutrophils also contribute to pathogenesis of diseases associated with sterile inflammation including vascular disorders, autoimmune diseases, Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cancers. During T2D, hyperglycemia constitutively activate neutrophils. In the context of T2D associated complications, we examined influence of high glucose, homocysteine and LPS representing effector molecules of hyperglycemia, thrombosis, and infection respectively on human neutrophil activation to identify distinct signaling pathways by quantitative phosphoproteomics approach.

Platelet dysfunction during trauma involves diverse signaling pathways and an inhibitory activity in patient-derived plasma.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Trauma-induced coagulopathy occurs in about 25% of injured patients and accounts for about 10% of deaths worldwide. Upon injury, hemostatic function may decline due to vascular dysfunction, clotting factor deficiencies, hyperfibrinolysis, and/or platelet dysfunction. We investigated agonist-induced calcium signaling in platelets obtained over time from trauma patients. METHODS:Platelets from trauma patients and healthy donors were monitored via intracellular calcium mobilization and flow cytometry markers (?2b?3 activation, P-selectin display, and phosphatidylserine exposure) following stimulation with a panel of agonists (adenosine 5'-diphosphate sodium salt, U46619, convulxin, PAR-1/4 activating peptides, iloprost) used in isolation or in pairwise tests. Furthermore, healthy donor platelets were tested in heterologous plasma isolated from healthy subjects and trauma patients. RESULTS:When exposed to agonists over the first 24 hours postinjury, trauma patient platelets mobilized less calcium in comparison to healthy platelets. Partial recovery of platelet activity was observed in about a third of patients after 120 hours, although not fully obtaining healthy baseline function. Flow cytometry markers of trauma platelets were similar to healthy platelets prior to stimulation, but were depressed in trauma platelets stimulated with adenosine 5'-diphosphate sodium salt or convulxin. Also, washed healthy platelets showed a significant reduction in calcium mobilization when reconstituted in plasma from trauma patients, relative to healthy plasma, at all plasma doses tested. CONCLUSION:Platelet dysfunction in trauma patients included poor response to multiple agonists relevant to hemostatic function. Furthermore, the inhibitor effect of patient plasma on healthy platelets suggests that soluble plasma species may downregulate endogenous or transfused platelets during trauma.

Diverse stimuli engage different neutrophil extracellular trap pathways.

Project description:Neutrophils release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) which ensnare pathogens and have pathogenic functions in diverse diseases. We examined the NETosis pathways induced by five stimuli; PMA, the calcium ionophore A23187, nigericin, Candida albicans and Group B Streptococcus. We studied NET production in neutrophils from healthy donors with inhibitors of molecules crucial to PMA-induced NETs including protein kinase C, calcium, reactive oxygen species, the enzymes myeloperoxidase (MPO) and neutrophil elastase. Additionally, neutrophils from chronic granulomatous disease patients, carrying mutations in the NADPH oxidase complex or a MPO-deficient patient were examined. We show that PMA, C. albicans and GBS use a related pathway for NET induction, whereas ionophores require an alternative pathway but that NETs produced by all stimuli are proteolytically active, kill bacteria and composed mainly of chromosomal DNA. Thus, we demonstrate that NETosis occurs through several signalling mechanisms, suggesting that extrusion of NETs is important in host defence.

Endothelial signaling by neutrophil-released oncostatin M enhances P-selectin-dependent inflammation and thrombosis.

Project description:In the earliest phase of inflammation, histamine and other agonists rapidly mobilize P-selectin to the apical membranes of endothelial cells, where it initiates rolling adhesion of flowing neutrophils. Clustering of P-selectin in clathrin-coated pits facilitates rolling. Inflammatory cytokines typically signal by regulating gene transcription over a period of hours. We found that neutrophils rolling on P-selectin secreted the cytokine oncostatin M (OSM). The released OSM triggered signals through glycoprotein 130 (gp130)-containing receptors on endothelial cells that, within minutes, further clustered P-selectin and markedly enhanced its adhesive function. Antibodies to OSM or gp130, deletion of the gene encoding OSM in hematopoietic cells, or conditional deletion of the gene encoding gp130 in endothelial cells inhibited neutrophil rolling on P-selectin in trauma-stimulated venules of the mouse cremaster muscle. In a mouse model of P-selectin-dependent deep vein thrombosis, deletion of OSM in hematopoietic cells or of gp130 in endothelial cells markedly inhibited adhesion of neutrophils and monocytes and the rate and extent of thrombus formation. Our results reveal a paracrine-signaling mechanism by which neutrophil-released OSM rapidly influences endothelial cell function during physiological and pathological inflammation.

NLRP6 modulates neutrophil homeostasis in bacterial pneumonia-derived sepsis.

Project description:Bacterial pneumonia is a significant cause of morbidity, mortality, and health care expenditures. Optimum neutrophil recruitment and their function are critical defense mechanisms against respiratory pathogens. The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLRP) 6 controls gut microbiota and immune response to systemic and enteric infections. However, the importance of NLRP6 in neutrophil homeostasis following lung infection remains elusive. To investigate the role of NLRs in neutrophil homeostasis, we used Nlrp6 gene-deficient (Nlrp6-/-) mice in a model of Klebsiella pneumoniae-induced pneumonia-derived sepsis. We demonstrated that NLRP6 is critical for host survival, bacterial clearance, neutrophil influx, and CXC-chemokine production. Kp-infected Nlrp6-/- mice have reduced numbers of hematopoietic stem cells and granulocyte-monocyte progenitors but increased retention of matured neutrophils in bone marrow. Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation and NET-mediated bacterial killing were also impaired in Nlrp6-/- neutrophils in vitro. Furthermore, recombinant CXCL1 rescued the impaired host defense, granulopoietic response, and NETosis in Kp-infected Nlrp6-/- mice. Using A/J background mice and co-housing experiments, our findings revealed that the susceptible phenotype of Nlrp6-/- mice is not strain-specific and gut microbiota-dependent. Taken together, these data unveil NLRP6 as a central regulator of neutrophil recruitment, generation, and function during bacterial pneumonia followed by sepsis.

Neutrophil-Derived Reactive Oxygen Orchestrates Epithelial Cell Signaling Events during Intestinal Repair.

Project description:Recent evidence has demonstrated that reactive oxygen (eg, hydrogen peroxide) can activate host cell signaling pathways that function in repair. We show that mice deficient in their capacity to generate reactive oxygen by the NADPH oxidase 2 holoenzyme, an enzyme complex highly expressed in neutrophils and macrophages, have disrupted capacity to orchestrate signaling events that function in mucosal repair. Similar observations were made for mice after neutrophil depletion, pinpointing this cell type as the source of the reactive oxygen driving oxidation-reduction protein signaling in the epithelium. To simulate epithelial exposure to high levels of reactive oxygen produced by neutrophils and gain new insight into this oxidation-reduction signaling, epithelial cells were treated with hydrogen peroxide, biochemical experiments were conducted, and a proteome-wide screen was performed using isotope-coded affinity tags to detect proteins oxidized after exposure. This analysis implicated signaling pathways regulating focal adhesions, cell junctions, and maintenance of the cytoskeleton. These pathways are also known to act via coordinated phosphorylation events within proteins that constitute the focal adhesion complex, including focal adhesion kinase and Crk-associated substrate. We identified the Rho family small GTP-binding protein Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 and p21 activated kinases 2 as operational in these signaling and localization pathways. These data support the hypothesis that reactive oxygen species from neutrophils can orchestrate epithelial cell-signaling events functioning in intestinal repair.

Peptide-based systems analysis of inflammation induced myeloid-derived suppressor cells reveals diverse signaling pathways.

Project description:A better understanding of molecular signaling between myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC), tumor cells, T-cells, and inflammatory mediators is expected to contribute to more effective cancer immunotherapies. We focus on plasma membrane associated proteins, which are critical in signaling and intercellular communication, and investigate changes in their abundance in MDSC of tumor-bearing mice subject to heightened versus basal inflammatory conditions. Using spectral counting, we observed statistically significant differential abundances for 35 proteins associated with the plasma membrane, most notably the pro-inflammatory proteins S100A8 and S100A9 which induce MDSC and promote their migration. We also tested whether the peptides associated with canonical pathways showed a statistically significant increase or decrease subject to heightened versus basal inflammatory conditions. Collectively, these studies used bottom-up proteomic analysis to identify plasma membrane associated pro-inflammatory molecules and pathways that drive MDSC accumulation, migration, and suppressive potency.

Neutrophil transmigration triggers repair of the lung epithelium via beta-catenin signaling.

Project description:Injury to the epithelium is integral to the pathogenesis of many inflammatory lung diseases, and epithelial repair is a critical determinant of clinical outcome. However, the signaling pathways regulating such repair are incompletely understood. We used in vitro and in vivo models to define these pathways. Human neutrophils were induced to transmigrate across monolayers of human lung epithelial cells in the physiological basolateral-to-apical direction. This allowed study of the neutrophil contribution not only to the initial epithelial injury, but also to its repair, as manifested by restoration of transepithelial resistance and reepithelialization of the denuded epithelium. Microarray analysis of epithelial gene expression revealed that neutrophil transmigration activated ?-catenin signaling, and this was verified by real-time PCR, nuclear translocation of ?-catenin, and TOPFlash reporter activity. Leukocyte elastase, likely via cleavage of E-cadherin, was required for activation of ?-catenin signaling in response to neutrophil transmigration. Knockdown of ?-catenin using shRNA delayed epithelial repair. In mice treated with intratracheal LPS or keratinocyte chemokine, neutrophil emigration resulted in activation of ?-catenin signaling in alveolar type II epithelial cells, as demonstrated by cyclin D1 expression and/or reporter activity in TOPGAL mice. Attenuation of ?-catenin signaling by IQ-1 inhibited alveolar type II epithelial cell proliferation in response to neutrophil migration induced by intratracheal keratinocyte chemokine. We conclude that ?-catenin signaling is activated in lung epithelial cells during neutrophil transmigration, likely via elastase-mediated cleavage of E-cadherin, and regulates epithelial repair. This pathway represents a potential therapeutic target to accelerate physiological recovery in inflammatory lung diseases.

C5aR1 signaling triggers lung immunopathology in COVID-19 through neutrophil extracellular traps.

Project description:Patients with severe COVID-19 develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that may progress to cytokine storm syndrome, organ dysfunction, and death. Considering that complement component 5a (C5a), through its cellular receptor C5aR1, has potent proinflammatory actions and plays immunopathological roles in inflammatory diseases, we investigated whether the C5a/C5aR1 pathway could be involved in COVID-19 pathophysiology. C5a/C5aR1 signaling increased locally in the lung, especially in neutrophils of critically ill patients with COVID-19 compared with patients with influenza infection, as well as in the lung tissue of K18-hACE2 Tg mice (Tg mice) infected with SARS-CoV-2. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of C5aR1 signaling ameliorated lung immunopathology in Tg-infected mice. Mechanistically, we found that C5aR1 signaling drives neutrophil extracellular traps-dependent (NETs-dependent) immunopathology. These data confirm the immunopathological role of C5a/C5aR1 signaling in COVID-19 and indicate that antagonists of C5aR1 could be useful for COVID-19 treatment.
