TNF-Like Ligand 1 Aberrance Aggravates Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis via M1 Macrophage Polarization.

ABSTRACT: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive, chronic liver disease worldwide which imposes a large economic burden on society. M1/M2 macrophage balance destruction and recruitment of mononuclear immune cells to the liver play critical roles in NASH. Several studies have shown that the expression of TNF-like ligand 1 aberrance (TL1A) increased in macrophages associated with many inflammatory diseases, for example, inflammatory bowel disease, primary biliary cholangitis, and liver fibrosis. One recent research showed that weight, abdominal adipose, and liver leptin, one of the critical fat cytokines, were reduced in TL1A knockout mice. However, the functional and molecular regulatory mechanisms of TL1A on macrophage polarization and recruitment in NASH have yet to be clarified. The authors found that high fructose high fat diet and methionine-choline deficiency diet induced the expression of TL1A in macrophages of liver tissue from murine NASH models. Myeloid-specific TL1A overexpressed mice showed exacerbated steatohepatitis with increased hepatic lipid accumulation, inflammation, liver injury, and apoptosis. M1 macrophages' infiltration and the production of proinflammatory and chemotactic cytokines increased in liver of NASH mouse models with myeloid-specific TL1A overexpressed. Furthermore, this paper revealed that bone marrow-derived macrophages and Kupffer cells with overexpression of TL1A exacerbated the lipid accumulation and expression of proinflammatory factors in the murine primary hepatocytes after free fatty acid treatment in vitro. In conclusion, TL1A-mediated M1-type macrophage polarization and recruitment into the liver promoted steatohepatitis in murine NASH.

Fusobacterium nucleatum Aggravates the Progression of Colitis by Regulating M1 Macrophage Polarization via AKT2 Pathway.

Project description:Disordered intestinal flora and discordant immune response are associated with the development of ulcerative colitis (UC). Recent work has described the ability of macrophages to undergo repolarization toward a proinflammatory M1 or anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype in response to particular bacterium-derived signals. Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum, Fn) is a species of intestinal commensal bacteria with potential pathogenicity, but its association with UC and how it may contribute to progression of UC is largely unknown. In this study, we provide new evidence that F. nucleatum accumulated heavily in the intestine of UC patients and was accompanied by the secretion of IFN-γ and the skewing of M1 macrophages. Mechanistically, our data showed that F. nucleatum aggravated dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in the production of Th1-related cytokines IFN-γ through the AKT2 signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo. To further confirm the disease-relevance of these shifts in macrophage repolarization in response to F. nucleatum, stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were transferred into recipient mice with DSS colitis. This transfer resulted in increased disease activity and inflammatory cytokine production. Taken together, we show clearly that F. nucleatum can promote the progression of UC via proinflammatory M1 macrophage skewing, and targeting F. nucleatum or AKT2 signaling may be a viable means of blocking development of UC.

ANKRD22 aggravates sepsis-induced ARDS and promotes pulmonary M1 macrophage polarization.

Project description:Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is independently associated with a poor prognosis in patients with sepsis. Macrophage M1 polarization plays an instrumental role in this process. Therefore, the exploration of key molecules affecting acute lung injury and macrophage M1 polarization may provide therapeutic targets for the treatment of septic ARDS. Here, we identified that elevated levels of Ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 22 (ANKRD22) were associated with poor prognosis and more pronounced M1 macrophage polarization in septic patients by analyzing high-throughput data. ANKRD22 expression was also significantly upregulated in the alveolar lavage fluid, peripheral blood, and lung tissue of septic ARDS model mice. Knockdown of ANKRD22 significantly attenuated acute lung injury in mice with sepsis-induced ARDS and reduced the M1 polarization of lung macrophages. Furthermore, deletion of ANKRD22 in macrophages inhibited M1 macrophage polarization and reduced levels of phosphorylated IRF3 and intracellular interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) expression, while re-expression of ANKRD22 reversed these changes. Further experiments revealed that ANKRD22 promotes IRF3 activation by binding to mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS). In conclusion, these findings suggest that ANKRD22 promotes the M1 polarization of lung macrophages and exacerbates sepsis-induced ARDS.

TRIM21 aggravates cardiac injury after myocardial infarction via promoting M1 macrophage polarization

Project description:Macrophage polarization followed by acute myocardial infarction (MI) is essential for the regulation of inflammation and scar formation. Tripartite motif-containing protein 21 (TRIM21), a member of E3 ubiquitin ligases, is a crucial mediator in the process of inflammation and heart failure. However, the potential roles of TRIM21 in modulating post-MI inflammation and macrophage polarization remain elusive. We detected that the levels of TRIM21 were significantly reduced in macrophages of WT mice after MI. In contrast, MI was ameliorated in TRIM21 knockout (TRIM21-/-) mice with improved cardiac remodeling, characterized by a marked decrease in mortality, increased wall thickness, and improved cardiac function in comparison with wild-type (WT) MI mice. Importantly, TRIM21 deficiency decreased the post-MI apoptosis and DNA damage in the hearts of mice, and the accumulation of M1 phenotype macrophages in infarcted hearts significantly decreased in TRIM21-/- mice compared with WT controls. Mechanistically, depletion of TRIM21 orchestrated the process of M1 macrophage polarization via a PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Overall, these data reveal that TRIM21 drives the inflammatory response and cardiac remodeling after MI via stimulating M1 macrophage polarization through a PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Ghrelin ameliorates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis induced by chronic low-grade inflammation via blockade of Kupffer cell M1 polarization.

Project description:Whether the stomach influences the progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remains largely unknown. Ghrelin, a 28-amino acid gastric hormone, is critical for the regulation of energy metabolism and inflammation. We investigated whether ghrelin affects the progression of NASH. NASH was induced with lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 240 μg/kg/day) in male C57BL/6J mice with high-fat diet (HFD). Ghrelin (11 nmol/kg/day) was administrated by a subcutaneous mini-pump. Liver steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis were assessed. Kupffer cells and hepatocytes isolated from wild type, GHSR1a-/- or PPARγ+/- mice were cocultured to determine the cellular and molecular mechanism by which ghrelin ameliorates NASH. A low concentration of LPS activates the Kupffer cells, leading to the development of NASH in mice fed HFD. Ghrelin blocked the progression of NASH induced by LPS via GHSR1a-mediated attenuation of Kupffer cells M1 polarization. GHSR1a was detected in Kupffer cells isolated from wild-type mice but not in GHSR1a deficient animals. Upon binding with ghrelin, internalization of GHSR1a occurred. Ghrelin reduced levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and inducible nitricoxide synthase while increasing Arg1 in Kupffer cells treated with LPS. Ghrelin markedly attenuated the upregulation of lipid accumulation induced by the supernatant of Kupffer cells under both basal and LPS-treated conditions. Deficiency of PPARγ significantly reduced the effect of LPS on the hepatic steatosis in mice and in cultured hepatocytes. Our studies indicate that the stomach may improve the development of NASH via ghrelin. Ghrelin may serve as a marker and therapeutic target for NASH.

TRIM21 aggravates cardiac injury after myocardial infarction by promoting M1 macrophage polarization.

Project description:Macrophage polarization followed by myocardial infarction (MI) is essential for wound healing. Tripartite motif-containing protein 21 (TRIM21), a member of E3 ubiquitin ligases, is emerging as a mediator in cardiac injury and heart failure. However, its function in modulating post-MI macrophage polarization remains elusive. Here, we detected that the levels of TRIM21 significantly increased in macrophages of wild-type (WT) mice after MI. In contrast, MI was ameliorated in TRIM21 knockout (TRIM21-/-) mice with improved cardiac remodeling, characterized by a marked decrease in mortality, decreased infarct size, and improved cardiac function compared with WT-MI mice. Notably, TRIM21 deficiency impeded the post-MI apoptosis and DNA damage in the hearts of mice. Consistently, the accumulation of M1 phenotype macrophages in the infarcted tissues was significantly reduced with TRIM21 deletion. Mechanistically, the deletion of TRIM21 orchestrated the process of M1 macrophage polarization at least partly via a PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Overall, we identify TRIM21 drives the inflammatory response and cardiac remodeling by stimulating M1 macrophage polarization through a PI3K/Akt signaling pathway post-MI.

The gut microbial metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide aggravates GVHD by inducing M1 macrophage polarization in mice.

Project description:The diversity of the human microbiome heralds the difference of the impact that gut microbial metabolites exert on allogenic graft-versus-host (GVH) disease (GVHD), even though short-chain fatty acids and indole were demonstrated to reduce its severity. In this study, we dissected the role of choline-metabolized trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in the GVHD process. Either TMAO or a high-choline diet enhanced the allogenic GVH reaction, whereas the analog of choline, 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol reversed TMAO-induced GVHD severity. Interestingly, TMAO-induced alloreactive T-cell proliferation and differentiation into T-helper (Th) subtypes was seen in GVHD mice but not in in vitro cultures. We thus investigated the role of macrophage polarization, which was absent from the in vitro culture system. F4/80+CD11b+CD16/32+ M1 macrophage and signature genes, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, CXCL9, and CXCL10, were increased in TMAO-induced GVHD tissues and in TMAO-cultured bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). Inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome reversed TMAO-stimulated M1 features, indicating that NLRP3 is the key proteolytic activator involved in the macrophage's response to TMAO stimulation. Consistently, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and enhanced NF-κB nuclear relocalization were investigated in TMAO-stimulated BMDMs. In vivo depletion of NLRP3 in GVHD recipients not only blocked M1 polarization but also reversed GVHD severity in the presence of TMAO treatment. In conclusion, our data revealed that TMAO-induced GVHD progression resulted from Th1 and Th17 differentiation, which is mediated by the polarized M1 macrophage requiring NLRP3 inflammasome activation. It provides the link among the host choline diet, microbial metabolites, and GVH reaction, shedding light on alleviating GVHD by controlling choline intake.

Hepatocyte-Derived Prostaglandin E2-Modulated Macrophage M1-Type Polarization via mTOR-NPC1 Axis-Regulated Cholesterol Transport from Lysosomes to the Endoplasmic Reticulum in Hepatitis B Virus x Protein-Related Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis.

Project description:Lipid metabolic dysregulation and liver inflammation have been reported to be associated with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Hepatitis B virus x protein (HBx) is a risk factor for NASH. Based on metabolomic and transcriptomic screens and public database analysis, we found that HBx-expressing hepatocyte-derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) induced macrophage polarization imbalance via prostaglandin E2 receptor 4 (EP4) through in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models. Here, we revealed that the M1-type polarization of macrophages induced by endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductase-1-like protein α (ERO1α)-dependent endoplasmic reticulum stress was associated with the HBx-related hepatic NASH phenotype. Mechanistically, HBx promoted Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1)/oxysterol-binding protein-related protein 5 (ORP5)-mediated cholesterol transport from the lysosome to the endoplasmic reticulum via mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation. This study provides a novel basis for screening potential biomarkers in the macrophage mTOR-cholesterol homeostasis-polarization regulatory signaling pathway and evaluating targeted interventions for HBx-associated NASH.

<i>Akkermansia muciniphila</i> inhibits nonalcoholic steatohepatitis by orchestrating TLR2-activated γδT17 cell and macrophage polarization.

Project description:Current evidence indicates that the next-generation probiotic Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) has therapeutic potential for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), especially its inflammatory stage known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the mechanisms of A. muciniphila in NASH prevention remain unknown. Here, A. muciniphila supplementation prevented hepatic inflammation in high-fat diet-induced NASH mice, characterized by reduced hepatic proinflammatory macrophages (M1) and γδT and γδT17 cells. Consistently, hepatic M1 and γδT cells were enriched in biopsy-proven NASH patients and high-fat/high-carbohydrate diet-induced NASH mice. Antibiotics reduced hepatic M1, γδT and γδT17 cells in NASH mice. Furthermore, A. muciniphila inhibited intestinal barrier disruption and accordingly downregulated hepatic Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) expression in NASH mice. The activation of TLR2 by lipoteichoic acid enriched hepatic γδT17 cells (not M1) in normal diet-fed mice and neutralized the γδT cell-lowering and liver inflammation-protecting effects of A. muciniphila in NASH mice. Additionally, activated γδT cells could promote macrophage polarization via IL-17. Our study first supported that A. muciniphila prevented NASH by modulating TLR2-activated γδT17 cells and further macrophage polarization, facilitating clinical therapeutic applications.

HMGN2 regulates non-tuberculous mycobacteria survival via modulation of M1 macrophage polarization.

Project description:Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), also known as an environmental and atypical mycobacteria, can cause the chronic pulmonary infectious diseases. Macrophages have been suggested as the main host cell to initiate the innate immune responses to NTM infection. However, the molecular mechanism to regulate the antimicrobial immune responses to NTM is still largely unknown. Current study showed that the NTM clinical groups, Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium smegmatis, significantly induced the M1 macrophage polarization with the characteristic production of nitric oxide (NO) and marker gene expression of iNOS, IFNγ, TNF-α, IL1-β and IL-6. Interestingly, a non-histone nuclear protein, HMGN2 (high-mobility group N2), was found to be spontaneously induced during NTM-activated M1 macrophage polarization. Functional studies revealed that HMGN2 deficiency in NTM-infected macrophage promotes the expression of M1 markers and the production of NO via the enhanced activation of NF-κB and MAPK signalling. Further studies exhibited that HMGN2 knock-down also enhanced IFNγ-induced M1 macrophage polarization. Finally, we observed that silencing HMGN2 affected the survival of NTM in macrophage, which might largely relevant to enhanced macrophage polarization into M1 phenotype under the NTM infection. Collectively, current studies thus suggested a novel function of HMGN2 in regulating the anti-non-tuberculous mycobacteria innate immunity of macrophage.

PPARβ/δ Agonist Alleviates Diabetic Osteoporosis via Regulating M1/M2 Macrophage Polarization.

Project description:Diabetic osteoporosis is a common complication in diabetic patients, leading to increased fracture risk and impaired bone healing. As a member of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) family, PPARβ/δ agonist is suggested as a therapeutic target for the treatment of metabolic syndrome, and has been reported to positively regulate bone turnover by improving osteogenesis. However, its regulatory role in diabetic osteoporosis has not been reported yet. Here, we explored the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of PPARβ/δ agonist to the osteoporotic phenotypes of diabetic mice. Our results indicated that the osteoporotic phenotypes could be significantly ameliorated in diabetic mice by the administration of PPARβ/δ agonists. In vitro experiments suggested that PPARβ/δ agonist treatment could alleviate the abnormal increase of osteoclast activity in diabetic mice by rectifying high glucose-mediated macrophage dysfunction instead of directly inhibiting osteoclast differentiation. Mechanistically, Angptl4 may act as a downstream target of PPARβ/δ to regulate macrophage polarization. In conclusion, our study demonstrates the potential of PPARβ/δ agonist as a therapeutic target for the treatment of osteoporosis and immune homeostasis disorder in diabetic patients.
