ABSTRACT: Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a prototypical periodic fever syndrome caused by genetic variation in MEFV. While it is known that especially IL-1ÃŽÂ² responses are dysregulated in FMF, its innate immune landscape has not been comprehensively described. Therefore, we extensively characterized the function of monocytes and neutrophils in patients with FMF in between disease attacks, as well as their circulating inflammatory proteome. We found that monocyte IL-1Ã¯ÂÂ¢ and IL-6 production was enhanced following a range of stimulations, in concordance with alterations in the plasma inflammatory proteome. In contrast, neutrophil function in FMF was normal. Additionally, ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analyses revealed important epigenetic and transcriptional reprogramming arguing for monocyte function dysregulation. Interestingly, chromatin-accessibility was down-regulated in genomic regions related to cellular responses. This argues that the primary immune dysregulation in monocytes due to MEFV mutations leads to a chronic inflammatory profile that is subsequently associated with counterregulatory epigenetic and transcriptional changes reminiscent of tolerance (rather than trained immunity) induction. These data increase our understanding of the innate immune changes in FMF, that can be used in the design of novel approaches to manage chronic inflammation of these patients.

Difference of gene expression between LPS-stimulated monocytes cultured in the presence NRBCs and those cultured in the absence of NRBCs

Project description:We found that human cord blood nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) have a regulatory function in the innate immune reaction. NRBCs suppressed the production of inflammatory cytokines including TNF-a and IL-1b from monocytes in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). NRBCs exerted the regulatory function even without cell-to-cell contact with monocytes. On the other hand, IL-10 production from monocytes by the stimulation of LPS in the presence of NRBCs was higher than that of LPS-stimulated monocytes cultured in the absence of NRBCs. Addition of an anti-IL-10 receptor blocking antibody restored the inflammatory cytokine production from monocytes, suggesting that the functional change of monocytes caused by the interaction of NRBCs was characterized and mediated by the increased IL-10 production. Whole-genome microarray analysis revealed that monocytes expressed increased amounts of IL-10 superfamily genes after the interaction with NRBCs. IL-19, one of the IL-10 superfamily, enhanced IL-10 production from monocytes, which suggested cooperative role of IL-10 superfamily in the suppression of inflammatory cytokine production from monocytes. Arginase which was reported to play an important role in the suppressive function of NRBCs on monocytes in mice was found to play no significant role in human monocytes. NRBCs seem to have a regulatory role to suppress vigorous innate immune reaction which can be harmful to the fetuses via some unknown soluble factor which enhances the production of IL-10 and IL-10 family cytokines in monocytes. Human LPS-stimulated monocytes were collected after culture in a condition without and with NRBCs in transwell culture system. Only one experiment was performed.

Platelet-derived transcription factors license human monocyte inflammation

Project description:CD14+ monocytes, the predominant population in human blood, are primarily engaged in host defense and pro-inflammatory cytokine responses. Aberrant monocyte activity causes life-threatening cytokine storms, while dysfunctional monocytes lead to 'immunoparalysis.' Understanding the mechanisms controlling monocyte functions is therefore paramount. Here, we reveal platelets' vital role in human monocytes' pro-inflammatory responses. Natural low platelet counts in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) , platelet depletion in healthy human monocytes, or in vivo platelet depletion in mice, result in monocyte immunoparalysis, characterized by reduced pro-inflammatory gene expression and weakened cytokine responses to immune challenge. Remarkably, supplementation with fresh platelets reverses monocyte immunoparalysis. In mice, thrombocytopenia results in down-regulation of myeloid innate immune genes, and compromised host defense transcriptional programs in monocytes despite normal responses to LPS. Platelets control monocyte cytokines independently of traditional cross-talk pathways, acting as reservoirs of transcription factors like NF?B and MAPK p38. We pinpointed a vesicle-derived NF?B2 transfer to human monocytes by mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Functionally, platelets proportionally restored impaired cytokine secretion in human monocytes lacking MAPK p38a and NF?B p65 and NF?B2. We unveil the intercellular transfer of inflammatory regulators, positioning platelets as central checkpoints in monocyte-mediated inflammation.

Context-specific regulation of monocyte surface IL7R expression and soluble receptor secretion by a common autoimmune risk allele

Project description:IL-7 is a key factor in T-cell immunity and IL7R polymorphisms are implicated in autoimmune pathogenesis. IL7R mRNA is induced in stimulated monocytes in a genetically determined manner. Here we show monocyte surface and soluble IL7R (sIL7R) protein are markedly expressed in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Flow cytometry of synovial fluid-derived monocytes from patients with spondyloarthritis showed an enlarged subset of IL7R+ monocytes. Single-cell RNA sequencing of ex-vivo derived monocytes from the synovial fluid and blood of patients revealed that IL7R+ monocytes at the inflammatory site have a unique transcriptional profile that markedly overlaps that induced by IL-7 in-vitro and shows similarity to the previously described ‘Mono4’ subset. These data demonstrate disease-associated genetic variants at IL7R specifically impact monocyte surface IL7R and sIL7R following innate immune stimulation, suggesting a previously unappreciated key role for monocytes in IL-7 pathway biology and IL7R-associated diseases.

Altered DNA methylation underlies monocyte dysregulation and immune exhaustion memory in sepsis [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Innate immune memory is the process by which pathogen exposure elicits cell-intrinsic states to alter the strength of future immune challenges. Such altered memory states drive monocyte dysregulation during sepsis, promoting pathogenic behavior characterized by pro-inflammatory, immunosuppressive gene expression and emergency hematopoiesis. Epigenetic changes, notably via histone modifications, have been shown to underlie innate immune memory, but the contribution of DNA methylation remains poorly understood. Using an ex vivo sepsis model, we discovered broad changes in DNA methylation throughout the genome of exhausted monocytes, including at several genes implicated in immune dysregulation during sepsis and Covid-19 infection (e.g. Plac8). Methylome reprogramming is driven in part by Wnt signaling inhibition in exhausted monocytes, and can be reversed with DNA methyltransferase inhibitors, Wnt agonists, or immune training molecules. These changes are recapitulated in septic mice following cecal slurry injection, supporting the involvement of DNA methylation in acute and long-term monocyte dysregulation during sepsis.

Transcription profiling of human CD14+ peripheral blood monocytes from HIV patients vs uninfected controls suggest that monocyte function is diminished during high-level HIV viremia and that this effect is mediated by chronic stimulation by type I interferons

Project description:The effect of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and high-level HIV replication on the function of monocytes was investigated. HIV-positive patients had elevated levels of spontaneous production of some or all of the monocyte proinflammatory cytokines measured (interleukin-1beta [IL-1beta], IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-alpha]) compared to uninfected controls. In patients on therapy with high frequencies of monocytes producing proinflammatory cytokines, this frequency was diminished in the context of viremia during an interruption of therapy. Diminished production of proinflammatory cytokines during viremia was restored by culture with autologous CD4(+) T cells or monocytes from an on-therapy time point or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Microarray analysis demonstrated that diminished monocyte production of proinflammatory cytokines was correlated with elevated type I interferon-stimulated gene transcripts. The addition of exogenous alpha 2A interferon diminished the spontaneous production of IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha but did not affect responses to LPS, recapitulating the changes observed for HIV-viremic patients. These results suggest that monocyte function is diminished during high-level HIV viremia and that this effect is mediated by chronic stimulation by type I interferons. This effect on monocytes during viremia may play a role in diminished innate or adaptive immune system functions in HIV-infected patients. In addition, the restoration of these functions may also play a role in some immune reconstitution syndromes observed during initiation of therapy.

The Paradigm of Macrophage Polarization is not Applicable per seto Human Circulating Monocytes

Project description:Macrophage activation is required for the control of innate and adaptive immune responses. The classification in M1 and M2 macrophages based on a combination of small numbers of membrane and soluble markers is operational in murine and human macrophages. If this classification may be extended to circulating monocytes is not elucidated. To answer such question, human monocytes were stimulated for 6 and 18 hours with IFN-gamma and IL-4, two canonical agonists of M1/M2 polarization in macrophages, and gene expression programs were investigated with whole genome microarrays. The temporal analysis of these programs showed marked differences to both IFN-gamma and IL-4. In 6-h stimulated monocytes, gene categories related to inflammatory and immune responses were enriched, and these monocytes exhibited a M1 and M2 polarization in response to IFN-gamma and IL-4, respectively, as found in macrophages. In 18-h stimulated monocytes, the categories related to innate immunity and metabolic pathways were enriched in response to IFN-gamma and IL-4, whereas PPAR signaling pathway was specifically enriched in response to IL-4. In addition, the M1 and M2 polarization induced by IFN-gamma and IL-4, respectively, was replaced by an original transcriptional program that did not depend on IFN-gamma and IL-4. This program appeared as networks around chemokines, NF-kappaB/MAP kinase pathways and MHC class II molecules. These results clearly demonstrated that monocyte activation consisted of an early polarized stage likely involved in effector responses and a delayed stage that may regulate host responses. The establishment of databases on human circulating monocytes using high throughput methods may be critical for pathophysiological and clinical non-invasive studies. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from leukopacks from normal blood donor buffy coats (Etablissement FranÃ§ais du Sang, Marseille, France) by Ficoll density gradient

Immunometabolic adaptation in monocytes underpins functional changes during pregnancy

Project description:Metabolic heterogeneity is a determinant of immune cell function. The normal physiological metabolic reprogramming of pregnancy that ensures the fuel requirements of mother and baby are met might also underpin changes in innate and adaptive immunity that occur with pregnancy and manifest as altered responses to pathogens and changes to autoimmune disease symptoms. Here, we use peripheral blood monocytes, susceptible to microenvironmentally determined reprogramming of metabolism, to determine if pregnancy at term provokes an altered metabolic profile that underpins functional change. Focusing on late gestation where any effect will be most profound, we reveal that monocytes lose M2-like and gain M1-like properties accompanied by reductions in mitochondrial mass, maximal respiration and cardiolipin content in pregnancy; glycolysis is unperturbed. We establish that muramyl dipeptide (MDP)-stimulated cytokine production relies on oxidative metabolism then show that reduced monocyte oxidative metabolism with pregnancy compromises the production of TNF and IL-6 in response to MDP but not LPS. Overall, mitochondrially centred metabolic capabilities of late gestation monocytes are downregulated revealing natural plasticity in monocyte phenotype and function that could reveal targets for improving pregnancy outcomes but also yield new therapeutic approaches to diverse metabolic and/or immune-mediated diseases beyond pregnancy.

Proteomic analysis of macrophages derived from induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Macrophages (Mɸ) are highly heterogenous and versatile innate immune cells involved in homeostatic and immune responses. Activated Mɸ can exist in two extreme phenotypes: pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) Mɸ and these phenotypes can be recapitulated in vitro by using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plus IFNγ and IL-4, respectively. In the recent years, human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived-Mɸ have gained major attention since they are functionally similar to human monocyte derived-Mɸ and are receptive to genome editing. In this study, we used quantitative proteomics to address whether the plasticity of iPSC-derived Mɸ (iPSDM) are similar to human monocyte derived Mɸ. Our analyses suggest that iPSC Mɸ are promising tools to understand Mɸ biology since they exhibit similar polarisation profiles and functions as monocyte-derived Mɸ. We believe this comprehensive proteome data set will be a useful resource in the Mɸ field.
