Hydroxyurea stimulates production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in endothelial cells: Relevance to sickle cell disease.

ABSTRACT: In sickle cell disease (SCD) hemoglobin S (HbS) polymerization renders red blood cells (RBC) both fragile and rigid and accounts for anemia and vasoocclusive crises (VOC). Abnormal RBC adhesion to vascular endothelial cells (VEC), in a context of chronic inflammation, cell activation and vascular tone abnormalities, is a major event in triggering VOC. Hydroxyurea (HU) is the only drug with a proven efficiency at decreasing VOC occurrence. HU decreases HbS polymerization and RBC adhesion. We studied HU effect on the other cellular partner of adhesion, i.e.VEC. HU-induced TrHBMEC transcriptome variations were analyzed by micro-arrays both in basal and pro-inflammatory conditions after 24h and 48h of treatment. Among the endothelial HU target genes we focused on those related to adhesion and inflammation phenomena. HU had no impact on adhesion genes as a whole, still expression of VCAM-1, a key adhesion receptor, was decreased. In contrast, HU had a significant effect on the inflammation gene cluster. It stimulates pro-inflammatory genes such as IL-1A, IL-1B, IL-6, IL-8, CCL2, CCL5 and CCL8 both at the mRNA and protein levels and also in HPMEC and HUVEC primary cells. This may suggest that HU increases inflammation in SCD patients to a threshold engaging an anti-inflammatory response. Keywords: Treated TrHBME cell line

Gene expression analysis of sickle cell disease patients

Project description:Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a devastating hemoglobinopathy prevalent in Chhattisgarh and other states of central India. Clinical features in SCD arise mainly due to anemia and vaso-occlusion and inflammation leading to gradual multiple organ failure. Vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) is a common cause of sudden death among SCD patients. Aim of the study was to evaluate gene expression in patients of SCD in a quest to search up-regulated genes in VOC.

Less Deformable Erythrocyte Subpopulations Biomechanically Induce Endothelial Inflammation in Sickle Cell Disease

Project description:Sickle cell disease (SCD) is canonically characterized by reduced red blood cell (RBC) deformability leading to microvascular obstruction and inflammation. While the biophysical properties of sickle RBCs are known to influence SCD vasculopathy, the contribution of poor RBC deformability to endothelial dysfunction has yet to be fully explored. Leveraging interrelated in vitro and in silico approaches, we introduce a new paradigm of SCD vasculopathy in which poorly deformable sickle RBCs directly cause endothelial dysfunction via mechanotransduction, where endothelial cells sense and pathophysiologically respond to aberrant physical forces independently of microvascular obstruction, adhesion, or hemolysis. We demonstrate that perfusion of sickle RBCs or pharmacologically-dehydrated healthy RBCs into small venule-sized “endothelialized” microfluidics leads to pathologic physical interactions with endothelial cells that directly induce inflammatory pathways. Using a combination of computational simulations and large venule-sized endothelialized microfluidics, we observed that perfusion of heterogeneous sickle RBC subpopulations of varying deformability, as well as suspensions of dehydrated normal RBCs admixed with normal RBCs leads to aberrant margination of the less-deformable RBC subpopulations towards the vessel walls, causing localized, increased shear stress. Increased wall stress is dependent on the degree of subpopulation heterogeneity and oxygen tension and leads to inflammatory endothelial gene expression via mechanotransductive pathways. Our multifaceted approach demonstrates that the presence of sickle RBCs with reduced deformability leads directly to pathological physical (i.e., direct collisions and/or compressive forces) and shear-mediated interactions with endothelial cells and induces an inflammatory response, thereby elucidating the ubiquity of vascular dysfunction in SCD.

TRANSCRIPTIONAL RESPONSES IN CHILDREN WITH SICKLE CELL

Project description:To date, little is known about lung disease pathogenesis in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is a significant cause of morbidity and premature.mortality in SCD, but preventative, diagnostic, and therapeutic options are limited. Further, ACS and acute vasoccclusive pain crises (VOC) can have overlapping features such as chest pain, which causes a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians. We aimed to explore changes in gene expression profiles in patients with SCD at baseline and during hospitalization for VOC or ACS in order to better understand ACS disease pathogenesis.

Dimethyl fumarate increases fetal hemoglobin, provides heme detoxification, and corrects anemia in sickle cell disease

Project description:Sickle cell disease (SCD) results from a point mutation in the β-globin gene forming hemoglobin S (HbS), which polymerizes in deoxygenated erythrocytes, triggering recurrent painful vaso-occlusive crises and chronic hemolytic anemia. Reactivation of fetal Hb (HbF) expression ameliorates these symptoms of SCD. Nuclear factor (erythroid derived-2)–like 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor that triggers cytoprotective and antioxidant pathways to limit oxidative damage and inflammation and increases HbF synthesis in CD34+ stem cell–derived erythroid progenitors. We investigated the ability of dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a small-molecule Nrf2 agonist, to activate γ-globin transcription and enhance HbF in tissue culture, murine and primate models. DMF recruited Nrf2 to the γ-globin promoters and the locus control region of the β-globin locus in erythroleukemia cells, elevated HbF in SCD donor–derived erythroid progenitors, and reduced hypoxia-induced sickling. Chronic DMF administration in SCD mice induced HbF and increased Nrf2-dependent genes to detoxify heme and limit inflammation. This improved hematological parameters, reduced plasma-free Hb, and attenuated inflammatory markers. Chronic DMF administration to nonanemic primates increased γ-globin mRNA in BM and HbF protein in red cells. DMF represents a potential therapy for SCD to induce HbF and augment vasoprotection and heme detoxification

Red blood cells from mice on high fat diet induce macrophage activation during phagocytosis

Project description:We studied macrophage gene expression from mice fed chow diet (C) or 60% high fat diet (HF), that phagocytized C-RBC, HFD-RBC, or no RBC. Macrophages from mice on HF diet were activated toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype. In macrophages isolated from CD mice, RBC phagocytosis yielded a gene expression pattern similar to HF macrophages. Incubation of HF-RBC with macrophages resulted in a significantly more pronounced upregulation of pro-inflammatory chemokines as compared to C-RBC. Peritoneal macrophages were obtained from C57BL/6 mice fed either C or HF diet. Phagocytosis was performed in vitro with C-RBC or HF-RBC; macrophages not exposed to RBC served as a control. Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST microarray chips were used to assess the gene expression profile.

Development of pathophysiologically relevant models of sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia for therapeutic studies

Project description:β-hemoglobin disorders, such as sickle cell disease (SCD) and β-thalassemia (BT), are the most common inherited monogenic blood disorders globally. Despite decades of research, there are only four FDA-approved medications available for the management of SCD with hydroxyurea (HU) being the most widely used drug that partially benefits patients by inducing fetal hemoglobin (HbF) production. On the other hand, there are no approved oral drugs currently available for β-thalassemia patients. To our knowledge, there are currently no well-characterized erythroid progenitor cell lines available that can accurately replicate the pathophysiology of SCD and BT while also having the same genetic background apart from the disease mutation enabling consistency and reproducibility. Our novel, physiologically relevant cellular systems provide a plethora of avenues for researchers to investigate various applications related to parasite invasion, drug validation, and genome-editing in the context of SCD and BT.

Effect of Ginsenoside Rb1 on inflammatory reaction and odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp cell

Project description:Ginsenoside Rb1 (G-Rb1) has been reported to diminish inflammation associated with diseases. We investigated the effect of G-Rb1 on the inflammatory reactions and the odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). G-Rb1 affected the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8, as these showed reduced levels with exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Additionally, less mRNA and protein expressions of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were shown. G-Rb1 suppressed the LPS-induced increase of cell adhesion molecules and inflammatory cytokines, while also inhibiting PI3K/Akt, phosphorylation of NF-κB transcription factors, ERK and JNK of MAPK signaling in hDPCs.

Coxsackievirus Adenovirus Receptor co-ordinates pro-inflammatory responses in the lung epithelium

Project description:Airway inflammation and remodelling are key pathophysiologic features process in many respiratory conditions such as asthma. An intact epithelial cell layer is crucial to maintain lung homeostasis, and this depends on intercellular adhesion. The Coxsackievirus Adenovirus Receptor (CAR) is highly expressed in the epithelium where it modulates cell-cell adhesion stability and acts as a receptor for immune cells to facilitate transepithelial migration. Here we investigated the mechanistic role of CAR in mediating responses to the common aeroallergen House Dust Mite (HDM). We demonstrate that administration of HDM in mice lacking CAR in the respiratory epithelium leads to loss of peri-bronchial inflammatory cell infiltration, fewer goblet-cells, decreased IL-4 and IL-13 levels and reduced matrix remodelling. In vitro analysis in human lung epithelial cells confirmed that loss of CAR led to reduced HDM-dependent inflammatory cytokine release leading to reduced inflammatory cell transmigration. Moreover, CAR was required for HDM-induced TGF release leading to enhanced airway smooth muscle cell proliferation and matrix production. Our data demonstrates that CAR is a novel central co-ordinator of lung inflammation through a dual role in leukocyte recruitment and tissue remodelling and may represent an important target for future therapeutic development in lung inflammatory diseases.

IL-17A influences essential functions of the monocyte / macrophage lineage and is involved in advanced murine and human atherosclerosis

Project description:Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Lesion progression is primarily mediated by cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. Interleukin-17A is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, which modulates immune cell trafficking and is involved inflammation in (auto)immune and infectious diseases. But the role of IL-17A still remains controversial. In the current study we investigated effects of IL-17A on advanced murine and human atherosclerosis, the common disease phenotype in clinical care. 26-weeks old apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apoe-/-) mice were fed a standard chow diet and treated either with IL-17A mAb (n=15) or irrelevant immunoglobulin (n=10) for 16 weeks. Furthermore, essential mechanisms of IL-17A in atherogenesis were studied in vitro. Inhibition of IL-17A markedly prevented atherosclerotic lesion progression (P=0.001) by reducing inflammatory burden and cellular infiltration (P=0.01) and improved lesion stability (P=0.01). In vitro experiments showed that IL-17A plays a role in chemoattractance, monocyte adhesion, sensitization of antigen-presenting cells toward pathogen-derived TLR4 ligands. Also, IL-17A induced a unique transcriptome pattern in monocyte-derived macrophages distinct from known macrophage types. Stimulation of human carotid plaque tissue ex vivo with IL-17A induced a pro-inflammatory milieu and up-regulation of molecules expressed by the IL-17A-induced macrophage subtype. We here show for the first time that functional blockade of IL-17A prevents atherosclerotic lesion progression and induces plaque stabilization in advanced lesions in Apoe-/- mice. The underlying mechanisms involve reduced inflammation and distinct effects of IL-17A on monocyte / macrophage lineage. In addition, translational experiments underline the relevance for the human system. Effects of IL-17A on human monocyte-derived macrophages were assessed (n=2 per group).
