Expression of VEGFA-mRNA in classical and MSX2-mRNA in non-classical monocytes in patients with spondyloarthritis is associated with peripheral arthritis.

ABSTRACT: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is characterized by chronic inflammation and structural damage involving spine and peripheral joints. Monocytes, as part of innate immune system, following migration into affected tissue, may play a role in the pathogenesis of SpA. Here, potential associations between osteogenesis-linked gene expression profile in particular monocyte subpopulations and clinical signs of SpA were investigated. The 20 patients with axial and 16 with peripheral SpA were enrolled in the study. Monocyte subpopulations (classical-CD14⁺⁺CD16^-, intermediate-CD14⁺⁺CD16⁺ and non-classical-CD14⁺CD16⁺⁺) were isolated from blood using flow cytometry and gene expression analysis was performed using real-time PCR method and TaqMan Array, Human Osteogenesis, Fast 96-well plates. Next, the characteristic clinical features shared by axial and peripheral SpA were analyzed in the context of the expression of selected genes in the three subpopulations of monocytes. We demonstrated that expression of VEGFA in classical and MSX2 in non-classical monocytes were associated with the number of swollen and painful peripheral joints of SpA patients. We conclude that monocytes may contribute to the development of peripheral arthritis in SpA patients. This might be possible through subpopulation specific effects, linking number of inflamed joints with expression of VEGFA in classical monocytes and MSX2 in non-classical monocytes.

Revising CX3CR1 Expression on Murine Classical and Non-classical Monocytes.

Project description:In mice, monocytes (Mo) are conventionally described as CX3CR1low classical Mo (CMo) and CX3CR1high non-classical Mo (NCMo) based on the expression of EGFP in Cx3cr1+/EGFP mice and by analogy with human CX3CR1 expression. Although this terminology is widely used, it may not reflect the expression of CX3CR1 on Mo subsets. Using an unsupervised multiparametric analysis of blood Mo in steady state and after sterile peritonitis, we observed that CX3CR1 expression did not discriminate the CMo from the NCMo subsets. Our results highlight that despite being a reliable reporter to discriminate Mo subpopulations, EGFP level in Cx3cr1+/EGFP mice does not reflect CX3CR1 expression measured by a fluorescently-labeled CX3CL1 chemokine and a CX3CR1 specific antibody. In conclusion, authors should be cautious not to identify murine classical and non-classical Mo as CX3CR1low and CX3CR1high but rather use alternative markers such as the combination of Ly6C and CD43.

RANK Expression and Osteoclastogenesis in Human Monocytes in Peripheral Blood from Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients.

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) appears as inflammation of synovial tissue and joint destruction. Receptor activator of NF-?B (RANK) is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily and a receptor for the RANK ligand (RANKL). In this study, we examined the expression of RANKhigh and CCR6 on CD14+ monocytes from patients with RA and healthy volunteers. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from both the RA patients and the healthy volunteers. Osteoclastogenesis from monocytes was induced by RANKL and M-CSF in vitro. To study the expression of RANKhigh and CCR6 on CD14+ monocytes, two-color flow cytometry was performed. Levels of expression of RANK on monocytes were significantly correlated with the level of osteoclastogenesis in the healthy volunteers. The expression of RANKhigh on CD14+ monocyte in RA patients without treatment was elevated and that in those receiving treatment was decreased. In addition, the high-level expression of RANK on CD14+ monocytes was correlated with the high-level expression of CCR6 in healthy volunteers. Monocytes expressing both RANK and CCR6 differentiate into osteoclasts. The expression of CD14+RANKhigh in untreated RA patients was elevated. RANK and CCR6 expressed on monocytes may be novel targets for the regulation of bone resorption in RA and osteoporosis.

Comprehensive cell surface proteomics defines markers of classical, intermediate and non-classical monocytes.

Project description:Monocytes are a critical component of the cellular innate immune system, and can be subdivided into classical, intermediate and non-classical subsets on the basis of surface CD14 and CD16 expression. Classical monocytes play the canonical role of phagocytosis, and account for the majority of circulating cells. Intermediate and non-classical cells are known to exhibit varying levels of phagocytosis and cytokine secretion, and are differentially expanded in certain pathological states. Characterisation of cell surface proteins expressed by each subset is informative not only to improve understanding of phenotype, but may also provide biological insights into function. Here we use highly multiplexed Tandem-Mass-Tag (TMT)-based mass spectrometry with selective cell surface biotinylation to characterise the classical monocyte surface proteome, then interrogate the phenotypic differences between each monocyte subset to identify novel protein markers.

Patrolling Mechanics of Non-Classical Monocytes in Vascular Inflammation.

Project description:Non-classical monocytes have emerged as the preeminent vascular housekeepers. Continuous intravascular screening is enabled by slow patrolling on the endothelium and allows a rapid response to local perturbations. Intravital imaging has been crucial to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and migratory phenotype of patrolling. In this review, we discuss technical requirements of intravital microscopy such as imaging modalities, labeling strategies, and data analysis. We further focus on patrolling kinetics and adhesion receptors in different organs and vascular beds including arteries during homeostasis and vascular inflammation and define pertinent questions in the field.

Selective recruitment of non-classical monocytes promotes skeletal muscle repair.

Project description:Regeneration of traumatic defects in skeletal muscle requires the synchronized behavior of multiple cells that participate in repair. The inflammatory cascade that is rapidly initiated after injury serves as a powerful node at which to guide the progression of healing and influence tissue repair. Here, we examine the role that myeloid cells play in the healing of traumatic skeletal muscle injury, and leverage their pro-regenerative functions using local delivery of the immunomodulatory small molecule FTY720. We demonstrate that increasing the frequency of non-classical monocytes in inflamed muscle coincides with increased numbers of CD206+ alternatively activated macrophages. Animals treated with immunomodulatory materials had greater defect closure and more vascularization in the acute phases of injury. In the later stages of repair, during which parenchymal tissue growth occurs, we observed improved regeneration of muscle fibers and decreased fibrotic tissue following localization of pro-regenerative inflammation. These results highlight non-classical monocytes as a novel therapeutic target to improve the regenerative outcome after traumatic skeletal muscle injury.

Non-classical monocytes contribute to innate immune training in cattle.

Project description:Innate immune training is defined as a property of innate immune cells to react stronger to a secondary contact with pathogens. Induction of innate immune training has been reported for a variety of pathogens and selected pattern recognition receptor-ligands, such as β-glucans (βG). We examined whether Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall component βG induces training in bovine monocytes in vitro based on a heightened TNF secretion after stimulation by trained monocyte-derived macrophages with Escherichia coli LPS. Sorted CD14-expressing monocytes (classical and intermediate monocytes), as well as single populations of sorted classical, intermediate and non-classical monocytes could not be trained by βG, whereas macrophages derived from plastic-adherent mononuclear cell preparations displayed features of a trained function. The hypothesis, that non-classical monocytes need to be present in a mixed monocyte population in order to be trained by βG could be verified by a successful training of positively sorted whole monocyte populations (CD14CD16/M) containing all three monocyte subpopulations. The trainability depended on conditions favoring M1 polarization of macrophages. Altogether, innate immune training of bovine monocytes seems to depend on the presence of non-classical monocytes. This adds new information to the role of this monocyte subpopulation in the bovine immune system.

Donor non-classical monocytes recruit recipient classical monocytes from the spleen by activating donor alveolar macrophages

Project description:Primary Graft Dysfunction (PGD) is the predominant cause of early graft loss following lung transplantation. We recently demonstrated that donor pulmonary intravascular non-classical monocytes (NCM) initiate neutrophil recruitment. Simultaneously, host-origin classical monocytes (CM) are mobilized from the spleen and, upon entry into the allograft, permeabilize the vascular endothelium to allow neutrophil extravasation necessary for PGD. Here, we show that CCL2-CCR2 axis is necessary for CM recruitment. Surprisingly, although intravital imaging and multichannel flow cytometry revealed that pharmacological or genetic depletion of donor NCM abrogated CM recruitment, single-cell RNAseq identified donor alveolar macrophages (AM) as predominant CCL2 secretors. Unbiased transcriptomic analysis of human and murine tissues combined with murine knockouts and chimeras indicated that while IL1β was secreted by multiple cell lineages, donor NCM were responsible for the early activation of AM and CCL2 release. IL1β production by NCM was NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent and inhibited by donor treatment using a clinically approved sulphonylurea, Glyburide. Production of CCL2 in the donor AM occurred through IL1R-dependent activation of PKC and NFκB-pathway. Accordingly, we show that IL1β-dependent paracrine interaction between donor NCM and AM leads to recruitment of host AM necessary for PGD. Since depletion of donor NCM, IL1β or IL1R antagonism, and inflammasome inhibition, abrogated recruitment of CM as well as PGD and are feasible using FDA-approved compounds, our findings have potential for immediate clinical translation.

Classical and intermediate monocytes scavenge non-transferrin-bound iron and damaged erythrocytes.

Project description:Myelomonocytic cells are critically involved in iron turnover as aged RBC recyclers. Human monocytes are divided in 3 subpopulations of classical, intermediate, and nonclassical cells, differing in inflammatory and migratory phenotype. Their functions in iron homeostasis are, however, unclear. Here, we asked whether the functional diversity of monocyte subsets translates into differences in handling physiological and pathological iron species. By microarray data analysis and flow cytometry we identified a set of iron-related genes and proteins upregulated in classical and, in part, intermediate monocytes. These included the iron exporter ferroportin (FPN1), ferritin, transferrin receptor, putative transporters of non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI), and receptors for damaged erythrocytes. Consequently, classical monocytes displayed superior scavenging capabilities of potentially toxic NTBI, which were augmented by blocking iron export via hepcidin. The same subset and, to a lesser extent, the intermediate population, efficiently cleared damaged erythrocytes in vitro and mediated erythrophagocytosis in vivo in healthy volunteers and patients having received blood transfusions. To summarize, our data underline the physiologically important function of the classical and intermediate subset in clearing NTBI and damaged RBCs. As such, these cells may play a nonnegligible role in iron homeostasis and limit iron toxicity in iron overload conditions.

Nerve growth factor and receptor expression in rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis.

Project description:IntroductionWe previously described the presence of nerve growth factor receptors in the inflamed synovial compartment. Here we investigated the presence of the corresponding nerve growth factors, with special focus on nerve growth factor (NGF).MethodsmRNA expression levels of four ligands (NGF, brain derived growth factor (BDNF), neurotrophin (NT)-3, NT-4) and their four corresponding receptors (tyrosine kinase (trk) A, trkB, trkC, NGFRp75) were determined in the synovial fluid (SF) cells of 9 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 16 with spondyloarthritis (SpA) and compared with 7 osteoarthritis (OA) patients. NGF was also determined in synovial tissue (ST) biopsies of 10 RA and 10 SpA patients. The production of NGF by monocytes and lymphocytes was assessed by flow cytometry of SF cells, synovial tissue derived fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) were assessed by ELISA on culture supernatant.ResultsSF cell analysis revealed a clear BDNF and NGF mRNA expression, with significantly higher NGF expression in RA and SpA patients than in the OA group. NGF expression was higher in ST samples of RA as compared to SpA. Using intracellular FACS analysis, we could demonstrate the presence of the NGF protein in the two inflammatory arthritis groups on both CD3+ T lymphocytes and CD14+ cells, i.e. monocytes/macrophages, whereas cultured FLS did not produce NGF in vitro.ConclusionsNeurotrophins and especially NGF are expressed in the synovial fluid and tissue of patients with peripheral synovitis. The presence of neurotrophins as well as their receptors, in particular the NGF/trkA-p75 axis in peripheral synovitis warrants further functional investigation of their active involvement in chronic inflammatory arthritis.
