Role for L-selectin in lipopolysaccharide-induced activation of neutrophils.

ABSTRACT: The activation of leucocytes by bacterial cell wall lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contributes to the pathogenesis of septic shock. LPS is known to interact with several cell-surface proteins, including CD14, when presented as a complex with serum LPS-binding protein. However, the identity of the receptor responsible for LPS signalling and leucocyte activation is unknown. Interestingly, mice deficient in cell-surface L-selectin were dramatically resistant to the lethal effects of high doses of LPS in a model of septic shock. Recently we reported that L-selectin binds to cardiolipin and other charged phospholipids at a site distinct from the carbohydrate-binding site. Structural similarities between charged phospholipids and the lipid A moiety of LPS prompted us to investigate interactions between L-selectin and LPS. Herein we show that L-selectin is a neutrophil surface receptor for LPS and lipotechoic acid. The binding of LPS to L-selectin is independent of serum and Ca2+, and is blocked by antibodies to L-selectin and fucoidan. Furthermore, the interaction of LPS with cell-surface L-selectin results in superoxide production, indicating that L-selectin can mediate both binding and activation of human neutrophils. These findings suggest novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of septic shock.

L-4F inhibits lipopolysaccharide-mediated activation of primary human neutrophils.

Project description:Human apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) mimetic L-4F inhibits acute inflammation in endotoxemic animals. Since neutrophils play a crucial role in septic inflammation, we examined the effects of L-4F, compared to apoA-I, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated activation of human neutrophils. We performed bioassays in human blood, isolated human neutrophils (incubated in 50 % donor plasma), and isolated human leukocytes (incubated in 5 and 50 % plasma) in vitro. In whole blood, both L-4F and apoA-I inhibited LPS-mediated elevation of TNF-? and IL-6. In LPS-stimulated neutrophils, L-4F and apoA-I (40 ?g/ml) also decreased myeloperoxidase and TNF-? levels; however, L-4F tended to be superior in inhibiting LPS-mediated increase in IL-6 levels, membrane lipid rafts abundance and CD11b expression. In parallel experiments, when TNF-? and IL-8, instead of LPS, was used for cell stimulation, L-4F and/or apoA-I revealed only limited efficacy. In LPS-stimulated leukocytes, L-4F was as effective as apoA-I in reducing superoxide formation in 50 % donor plasma, and more effective in 5 % donor plasma (P<0.05). Limulus ambocyte lysate (LAL) and surface plasmon resonance assays showed that L-4F neutralizes LAL endotoxin activity more effectively than apoA-I (P<0.05) likely due to avid binding to LPS. We conclude that (1) direct binding/neutralization of LPS is a major mechanism of L-4F in vitro; (2) while L-4F has similar efficacy to apoA-I in anti-endotoxin effects in whole blood, it demonstrates superior efficacy to apoA-I in aqueous solutions and fluids with limited plasma components. This study rationalizes the utility of L-4F in the treatment of inflammation that is mediated by endotoxin-activated neutrophils.

Indole-3-carbinol attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome through activation of AhR: role of CCR2+ monocyte activation and recruitment in the regulation of CXCR2+ neutrophils in the lungs.

Project description:IntroductionIndole-3-carbinol (I3C) is found in cruciferous vegetables and used as a dietary supplement. It is known to act as a ligand for aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). In the current study, we investigated the role of AhR and the ability of I3C to attenuate LPS-induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).MethodsTo that end, we induced ARDS in wild-type C57BL/6 mice, Ccr2gfp/gfp KI/KO mice (mice deficient in the CCR2 receptor), and LyZcreAhRfl/fl mice (mice deficient in the AhR on myeloid linage cells). Additionally, mice were treated with I3C (65 mg/kg) or vehicle to investigate its efficacy to treat ARDS.ResultsI3C decreased the neutrophils expressing CXCR2, a receptor associated with neutrophil recruitment in the lungs. In addition, LPS-exposed mice treated with I3C revealed downregulation of CCR2+ monocytes in the lungs and lowered CCL2 (MCP-1) protein levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Loss of CCR2 on monocytes blocked the recruitment of CXCR2+ neutrophils and decreased the total number of immune cells in the lungs during ARDS. In addition, loss of the AhR on myeloid linage cells ablated I3C-mediated attenuation of CXCR2+ neutrophils and CCR2+ monocytes in the lungs from ARDS animals. Interestingly, scRNASeq showed that in macrophage/monocyte cell clusters of LPS-exposed mice, I3C reduced the expression of CXCL2 and CXCL3, which bind to CXCR2 and are involved in neutrophil recruitment to the disease site.DiscussionThese findings suggest that CCR2+ monocytes are involved in the migration and recruitment of CXCR2+ neutrophils during ARDS, and the AhR ligand, I3C, can suppress ARDS through the regulation of immune cell trafficking.

LPS-induced Lung Platelet Recruitment Occurs Independently from Neutrophils, PSGL-1, and P-Selectin.

Project description:Platelets are recruited to inflammatory foci and contribute to host defense and inflammatory responses. Compared with platelet recruitment in hemostasis and thrombosis, the mechanisms of platelet recruitment in inflammation and host defense are poorly understood. Neutrophil recruitment to lung airspaces after inhalation of bacterial LPS requires platelets and PSGL-1 in mice. Given this association between platelets and neutrophils, we investigated whether recruitment of platelets to lungs of mice after LPS inhalation was dependent on PSGL-1, P-selectin, or interaction with neutrophils. BALB/c mice were administered intranasal LPS (O55:B5, 5 mg/kg) and, 48 hours later, lungs were collected and platelets and neutrophils quantified in tissue sections by immunohistochemistry. The effects of functional blocking antibody treatments targeting the platelet-neutrophil adhesion molecules, P-selectin or PSGL-1, or treatment with a neutrophil-depleting antibody targeting Ly6G, were tested on the extent of LPS-induced lung platelet recruitment. Separately in Pf4-Cre × mTmG mice, two-photon intravital microscopy was used to image platelet adhesion in live lungs. Inhalation of LPS caused both platelet and neutrophil recruitment to the lung vasculature. However, decreasing lung neutrophil recruitment by blocking PSGL-1, P-selectin, or depleting blood neutrophils had no effect on lung platelet recruitment. Lung intravital imaging revealed increased adhesion of platelets in the lung microvasculature which was not associated with thrombus formation. In conclusion, platelet recruitment to lungs in response to LPS occurs through mechanisms distinct from those mediating neutrophil recruitment, or the occurrence of pulmonary emboli.

Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated neutrophils

Project description:Neutrophil gene transcription following lipopolysaccharide exposure. Microarray analysis of lipopolysaccharide-treated human neutrophils. Neutrophils respond to infection by degranulation, release of reactive oxygen intermediates, and secretion of chemokines and cytokines; however, activation of neutrophil transcriptional machinery has been little appreciated. Recent findings suggest that gene expression may represent an additional neutrophil function after exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We performed microarray gene expression analysis of 4,608 mostly nonredundant genes on LPS-stimulated human neutrophils. Analysis of three donors indicated some variability but also a high degree of reproducibility in gene expression. Twenty-eight verifiable, distinct genes were induced by 4 h of LPS treatment, and 13 genes were repressed. Genes other than cytokines and chemokines are regulated; interestingly, genes involved in cell growth regulation and survival, transcriptional regulation, and interferon response are among those induced, whereas genes involved in cytoskeletal regulation are predominantly repressed. In addition, we identified monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 as a novel LPS-regulated chemokine in neutrophils. Included in these lists are five clones with no defined function. These data suggest molecular mechanisms by which neutrophils respond to infection and indicate that the transcriptional potential of neutrophils is greater than previously thought.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor blockade enables dexamethasone to inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced murine lung neutrophils.

Project description:Glucocorticoids promote neutrophilic inflammation, the mechanisms of which are poorly characterized. Using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute murine lung injury model, we determined the role of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in mouse lung neutrophil numbers in the absence and presence of dexamethasone, a potent glucocorticoid. G-CSF was blocked using a neutralizing antibody. Airway neutrophil numbers, cytokine levels, and lung injury parameters were measured. Glucocorticoid treatment maintained LPS-induced airway G-CSF while suppressing TNF and IL-6. The addition of anti-G-CSF antibodies enabled dexamethasone to decrease airway G-CSF, neutrophils, and lung injury scores. In LPS-challenged murine lungs, structural cells and infiltrating leukocytes produced G-CSF. In vitro using BEAS 2B bronchial epithelial cells, A549 lung epithelial cells, human monocyte-derived macrophages, and human neutrophils, we found that dexamethasone and proinflammatory cytokines synergistically induced G-CSF. Blocking G-CSF production in BEAS 2B cells using shRNAs diminished the ability of BEAS 2B cells to protect neutrophils from undergoing spontaneous apoptosis. These data support that G-CSF plays a role in upregulation of airway neutrophil numbers by dexamethasone in the LPS-induced acute lung injury model.

E-selectin-mediated rapid NLRP3 inflammasome activation regulates S100A8/S100A9 release from neutrophils via transient gasdermin D pore formation.

Project description:S100A8/S100A9 is a proinflammatory mediator released by myeloid cells during many acute and chronic inflammatory disorders. However, the precise mechanism of its release from the cytosolic compartment of neutrophils is unclear. Here, we show that E-selectin-induced rapid S100A8/S100A9 release during inflammation occurs in an NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent fashion. Mechanistically, E-selectin engagement triggers Bruton's tyrosine kinase-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of NLRP3. Concomitant potassium efflux via the voltage-gated potassium channel KV1.3 mediates ASC oligomerization. This is followed by caspase 1 cleavage and downstream activation of pore-forming gasdermin D, enabling cytosolic release of S100A8/S100A9. Strikingly, E-selectin-mediated gasdermin D pore formation does not result in cell death but is a transient process involving activation of the ESCRT III membrane repair machinery. These data clarify molecular mechanisms of controlled S100A8/S100A9 release from neutrophils and identify the NLRP3/gasdermin D axis as a rapid and reversible activation system in neutrophils during inflammation.

Adjudin attenuates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- and ischemia-induced microglial activation.

Project description:Neuroinflammation caused by microglial activation plays a key role in ischemia, neurodegeneration and many other CNS diseases. In this study, we found that Adjudin, a potential non-hormonal male contraceptive, exhibits additional function to reduce the production of proinflammatory mediators. Adjudin significantly inhibited LPS-induced IL-6 release and IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α expression in BV2 microglial cells. Furthermore, Adjudin exhibited anti-inflammatory properties by suppression of NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation and DNA binding activity as well as ERK MAPK phosphorylation. To determine the in vivo effect of Adjudin, we used a permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) mouse model and found that Adjudin could reduce ischemia-induced CD11b expression, a marker of microglial activation. Furthermore, Adjudin treatment attenuated brain edema and neurological deficits after ischemia but did not reduce infarct volume. Thus, our data suggest that Adjudin may be useful for mitigating neuroinflammation.

Role of Annexin A1 in NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation in Murine Neutrophils.

Project description:This study evaluated the role of endogenous and exogenous annexin A1 (AnxA1) in the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in isolated peritoneal neutrophils. C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) and AnxA1 knockout mice (AnxA1-/-) received 0.3% carrageenan intraperitoneally and, after 3 h, the peritoneal exudate was collected. WT and AnxA1-/- neutrophils were then stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, followed by the NLRP3 agonists nigericin or ATP. To determine the exogenous effect of AnxA1, the neutrophils were pretreated with the AnxA1-derived peptide Ac2-26 followed by the NLRP3 agonists. Ac2-26 administration reduced NLRP3-derived IL-1β production by WT neutrophils after nigericin and ATP stimulation. However, IL-1β release was impaired in AnxA1-/- neutrophils stimulated by both agonists, and there was no further impairment in IL-1β release with Ac2-26 treatment before stimulation. Despite this, ATP- and nigericin-stimulated AnxA1-/- neutrophils had increased levels of cleaved caspase-1. The lipidomics of supernatants from nigericin-stimulated WT and AnxA1-/- neutrophils showed potential lipid biomarkers of cell stress and activation, including specific sphingolipids and glycerophospholipids. AnxA1 peptidomimetic treatment also increased the concentration of phosphatidylserines and oxidized phosphocholines, which are lipid biomarkers related to the inflammatory resolution pathway. Together, our results indicate that exogenous AnxA1 negatively regulates NLRP3-derived IL-1β production by neutrophils, while endogenous AnxA1 is required for the activation of the NLRP3 machinery.

Costunolide Plays an Anti-Neuroinflammation Role in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced BV2 Microglial Activation by Targeting Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2.

Project description:Hyperactivation of microglia in the brain is closely related to neuroinflammation and leads to neuronal dysfunction. Costunolide (CTL) is a natural sesquiterpene lactone with wide pharmacological activities including anti-inflammation and antioxidation. In this study, we found that CTL significantly inhibited the production of inflammatory mediators including nitric oxide, IL-6, TNF-α, and PGE2 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV2 microglia. Moreover, CTL effectively attenuated IKKβ/NF-κB signaling pathway activation. To identify direct cellular target of CTL, we performed high-throughput reverse virtual screening assay using scPDB protein structure library, and found cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) was the most specific binding protein for CTL. We further confirmed the binding ability of CTL with CDK2 using cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) and drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) assays. Surface plasmon resonance analysis also supported that CTL specifically bound to CDK2 with a dissociation constant at micromole level. Furthermore, knocking down CDK2 obviously reversed the anti-inflammation effect of CTL via AKT/IKKβ/NF-κB signaling pathway on BV-2 cells. Collectively, these results indicate that CTL inhibits microglia-mediated neuroinflammation through directly targeting CDK2, and provide insights into the role of CDK2 as a promising anti-neuroinflammation therapeutic target.
