LPS Sensing Mounts an Adaptive MSC Response Enhancing Neutrophil Activation and Wound Healing

ABSTRACT: We here addressed the question whether the unique capacity of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) to re-establish tissue homeostasis depends on their potential to sense pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP) and, in consequence, mount an adaptive response in the interest of tissue repair. After injection of MSCs which had been primed with the bacterial wall component LPS into murine wounds, an unexpected acceleration of healing occurred, clearly exceeding that of non-primed MSCs. This correlates with a fundamental reprogramming of the transcriptome in LPS treated MSCs as deduced from RNA-seq analysis and its validation. A network of genes mediating the adaptive response through the TLR-4 pathway responsible for neutrophil activation (GCP- 2, ENA-78, IL-1β IL-8) and MSC protection (SOX6) profoundly contributes to enhanced wound healing. In fact, silencing of either TRL-4, or IRAK3, a downstream effector of TRL-4, or SOX6 suppressed wound healing most likely due to suppression of neutrophil extracellular trap formation and suppression of the enhanced microbicidal release of reactive oxygen species (ROS), key features of neutrophil activation. This previously unreported results uncover SOX6 which protects MSCs at the wound site from enhanced oxidative stress. This unprecedented findings hold substantial promise to refine current MSC-based therapies for difficult-to-treat wounds.

Project description:While considerable progress has been made towards understanding the complex processes and pathways that regulate human wound healing, regenerative medicine has been unable to develop therapies that coax the natural wound environment to heal scar-free. The inability to induce perfect skin regeneration stems partly from our limited understanding of how scar-free healing occurs in a natural setting. Here we have investigated the wound repair process in adult axolotls and demonstrate that they are capable of perfectly repairing full thickness excisional wounds made on the flank. In the context of mammalian wound repair, our findings reveal a substantial reduction in hemostasis, reduced neutrophil infiltration and a relatively long delay in production of new extracellular matrix (ECM) during scar-free healing. Additionally, we test the hypothesis that metamorphosis leads to scarring and instead show that terrestrial axolotls also heal scar-free, albeit at a slower rate. Analysis of newly forming dermal ECM suggests that low levels of fibronectin and high levels of tenascin-C promote regeneration in lieu of scarring. Lastly, a genetic analysis during wound healing comparing epidermis between aquatic and terrestrial axolotls suggests that matrix metalloproteinases may regulate the fibrotic response. Our findings outline a blueprint to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms coordinating scar-free healing that will be useful towards elucidating new regenerative therapies targeting fibrosis and wound repair. We used microarray analysis to determine the gene expression changes that take place during scar free wound healing in aquatic and terrestrial axolotl salamanders. Epidermal tissue was harvested using a 4mm biopsy punch. Two wounds were made along the flank and posterior to the forelimbs. Harvested epidermis was pooled for each animal. Four biological replicates were collected from uninjured epidermis (D0) and at 1, 3, and 7 days post injury.
