Staphylococcus aureus drives expansion of low-density neutrophils in diabetic mice

ABSTRACT: Diabetes is associated with an increase in neutrophil NET production. Low density neutrophils (LDNs) have a greater propensity for spontaneous production of NETs, and are increased in the diabetic host during infection with S. aureus. We compared gene expression between high density (HDN) and LDNs isolated from the blood of infected db/db mice.

S. aureus drives expansion of low density neutrophils in the diabetic host

Project description:Abstract S. aureus is a major opportunistic pathogen infecting patients with diabetes. Increased mortality was observed following IV S. aureus infection in diabetic mice compared to non-diabetic controls, correlating with increased numbers of low density neutrophils (LDNs) and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). LDN development is dependent on TGFβ, which was more activated in the diabetic host. Neutralization of TGFβ, or the integrin responsible for its activation α5β8, reduced numbers of LDNs and improved survival. Comparison of high and low density neutrophils identified PTEN signaling as a central regulator of LDN NET release. Inhibition of PTEN improved survival and decreased NET production in infected diabetic mice. MEDI4893*, a monoclonal antibody that neutralizes alpha toxin (AT) in development for prevention of S. aureus infection, was able to block TGFβ activation, reduce LDNs and NETs, and significantly improve survival. Our data identify a population of neutrophils in infected diabetic mice which correlated with decreased survival and increased NET production. Targeting a single virulence factor of S. aureus prevented emergence of the LDN population and improved survival, supporting potential use of pathogen specific antibodies for treating diabetic infections.

Neutrophil extracellular trap induction by alcohol generates unique low-density neutrophils with defective functions and impaired clearance contributing to liver damage in alcoholic hepatitis

Project description:Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is characterized by severe liver and systemic inflammation and high mortality. Although numerous studies correlated neutrophil counts with poor clinical outcomes, the role of neutrophils in AH is poorly understood. Here, we report that neutrophils contribute to liver damage through increased neutrophils extracellular traps (NET) production in AH patients and mouse models with a concordant significant increase of low-density neutrophils (LDNs) in AH patients. Transcriptome analysis revealed that high-density neutrophils (HDNs) are activated and more prone to release NET, whereas LDNs exhibit exhausted phenotype. We show that alcohol-induced NET release in HDNs induces a unique LDN subset with decreased functionality and reduced clearance. Elimination of both defective HDNs and LDNs through in vivo neutrophil depletion or prevention of NET production with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment ameliorate alcohol-induced liver damage. Our findings uncover alcohol-induced neutrophil phenotypic changes and provide mechanistic insights for therapeutic interventions in AH.

Transcriptomic analysis of low-density neutrophils (LDNs) in acute generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP)

Project description:Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a severe disease featured by neutrophilic pustules and enhanced IL-36 inflammatory pathway in skin. Recently, a transcriptomic analysis of PBMCs and neutrophils in MPO-deficient GPP patients has been performed in stable disease state. However, transcriptomic profiling of PBMCs during acute flare of GPP is unclear. Here, we reported a predominant neutrophil signature in GPP PBMC and a marked increase in the CD66+CD16+ low-density neutrophils (LDNs) within the PBMC fraction of acute GPP patients. Transcriptomic and functional analysis of LDNs revealed a hypoinflammatory phenotype yet enhanced release of neutrophil granule proteases, implicating that LDNs might contribute to the IL-36-mediated inflammation in GPP patients.

Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of human low-density (LDNs) and normal-density neutrophils (NDNs)

Project description:NDNs and LDNs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation of PBMCs from 8 patients affected by tubercolosis (TB). In detail, RNA was extracted from NDNs and LDNs by Maxwell® RSC miRNA Tissue kit (Promega, Madison, USA), following manufacturer’s instructions. RNA concentration and quality was measured using NanoDrop 2000 Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Total RNA (600 ng) was reverse transcribed using the RT2 First Strand Kit (SABiosciences, Qiagen, UK). 84 human cytokines and chemokines were tested using the RT2 Profiler PCR Array Human Innate & Adaptive Immune Responses array (Qiagen). A semiquantitative real-time RT-PCR was performed using a real-time PCR detection system (QuantStudio 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System, Thermo Fisher Scientific) with a two-step thermal cycling: 95 °C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles (95 °C for 15 sec, 60 °C for 1 min). Data were analysed using the RT² Profiler PCR Array Qiagen data analysis software, and ACTB and B2M as housekeeping genes.

Neutrophil extracellular traps induce glomerular endothelial cell dysfunction and pyroptosis in diabetic kidney disease

Project description:Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are a network structure composed of loose chromatin and embedded with multiple proteins. Here, we observed increased NETs deposition in the glomeruli of DKD patients and diabetic mice (streptozotocin-induced or db/db mice). After degrading NETs with DNase I, diabetic mice exhibited attenuated glomerulopathy and glomerular endothelial cell (GEC) injury. We also observed alleviated glomerulopathy and GEC injury in peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4)-knockout mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. In vitro, NET-induced GEC pyroptosis was characterized by pore formation in the cell membrane, dysregulation of multiple genes involved in cell membrane function, and high expression of pyroptosis-related proteins. Strengthening the GEC surface charge by oleylamine significantly inhibited NET-induced GEC pyroptosis. These results indicate that NET-induced alterations in GEC charge are associated with GEC pyroptosis in the pathogenesis of DKD and suggest that NETs are a potential therapeutic target for DKD.

Neutrophils from patients with recurring Panton-Valentine Leukocidin-positive Staphylococcus aureus infections are more sensitive to PVL induced NETosis

Project description:Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) is a Staphylococcus aureus toxin that binds to and kills human neutrophils resulting in the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps. A subset of individuals colonized with PVL expressing S. aureus suffer from recurring infections. We found that neutrophils from affected individuals display increased spontaneous NET formation after isolation, and increased sensitivity to killing by PVL. Compared to healthy controls, the expression of the target receptors for PVL, CD45 and C5L2, but not CD88, was increased in these patients, and the expression correlated to the amount of PVL-induced NETs produced. NADPH-oxidase activity was not important for PVL induced NETosis as neutrophils from CGD patients produced NETs in response to PVL. Through NET proteome analysis we identified that the protein content of PVL induced NETs is different from mitogen induced NETs. The abundance of the antimicrobial proteins LL37, myeloperoxidase, azurocidin, and proteinase 3 was lower on PVL NETs and PVL-induced NETs were deficient in killing Staphylococcus aureus. Neutrophils from patients that suffer from recurring PVL-positive infections may be more sensitive to PVL-induced NETosis, impairing their ability to combat the infection.

Human lupus netting neutrophils induce endothelial damage, infiltrate tissues and expose immunostimulatory molecules

Project description:Our group has proposed that low-density granulocytes (LDGs) play an important role in lupus pathogenesis, as they can damage endothelial cells and synthesize increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines and type I interferons. LDGs have a heightened capacity to synthesize neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs from LDGs display increased levels of bactericidal and immunostimulatory proteins, such as the cathelicidin LL37 and externalize double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Lupus netting LDGs have increased capacity to kill endothelial cells and expose IL-17. Through NETosis, lupus neutrophils stimulate plasmacytoid DCs to synthesize IFN-?. Our results further expand the potential pathogenic role of aberrant lupus neutrophils through a NET-mediated effect. We used microarrays to analyze the gene expression of neutrophils in healthy and lupus patients, and of low-density granulocytes in lupus patients. Human neutrophils and LDGs were isolated from PBMCs. RNA from healthy neutrophils, lupus neutrophils and lupus LDGs was extracted and processed for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
