Project description:Adenosine, prostaglandin E2, or increased intracellular cyclic AMP concentration each elicit potent anti-inflammatory events in human neutrophils by inhibiting functions such as phagocytosis, superoxide production, adhesion and cytokine release. However, the endogenous molecular pathways mediating these actions are poorly understood. In the present study, we examined their impact on the gene expression profile of stimulated neutrophils. We have identified a set of genes that may be part of important resolution pathways that interfere with cell activation. Identification of these pathways will improve understanding of the capacity of tissues to terminate inflammatory responses and contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies based on endogenous resolution Experiment Overall Design: Neutrophils were resuspended at a concentration of 25 x 106 cells/ml in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS; 37°C) containing 1% fetal bovine serum, 10 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 1,6 mM Ca2+ and no Mg2+. Adenosine deaminase (ADA; 0.1U/mL) was added to cell suspensions 20 min prior to stimulation. Where mentioned, PGE2, CGS 21680, RO 20-1724 and forskolin, dissolved in DMSO, were added to cell suspensions 10 min before stimulation. The final organic solvent concentration was identical in all samples and did not exceed 0.1% (v/v). Neutrophils were stimulated with a mixture of LPS (100 ng/mL), GM-CSF (1.4 nM), TNF-α (100 ng/mL), fMLP (100 nM) and IL-1β (30 nM) for 30 min at 37oC. These experiments were performed 5 times in identical conditions, each time with a different donor.

Project description:Although the accumulation of neutrophils in the lungs and airways is common to many inflammatory lung diseases, including acute lung injury, the alterations that neutrophils undergo as they leave the peripheral circulation and migrate into the lungs have not been well characterized. Human volunteers were exposed to endotoxin by bronchoscopic instillation. The resulting air space neutrophil accumulation and peripheral blood neutrophils were isolated 16 h later, compared with circulating neutrophils isolated before or after to the pulmonary endotoxin exposure, and compared with circulating neutrophils exposed to endotoxin in vitro. Microarray analysis was performed on air space, circulatory, and in vitro endotoxin-stimulated neutrophils. Functional analysis included the determination of neutrophil apoptosis, chemotaxis, release of cytokines and growth factors, and superoxide anion release. Dramatic gene expression differences were apparent between air space and circulating neutrophils: approximately 15% of expressed genes have altered expression levels, including broad increases in inflammatory- and chemotaxis-related genes, as well as antiapoptotic and IKK-activating pathways. Functional analysis of air space compared with circulating neutrophils showed increased superoxide release, diminished apoptosis, decreased IL-8-induced chemotaxis, and a pattern of IL-8, macrophage inflammatory protein-1beta, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha release different from either unstimulated or LPS-stimulated circulating neutrophils. Many of these changes are not elicited by in vitro treatment with endotoxin. Limited differences were detected between circulating neutrophils isolated before and 16 h after pulmonary endotoxin instillation. These results suggest that neutrophils sequestered in the lung become fundamentally different from those resident in the circulation, and this difference is distinct from in vitro activation with endotoxin.

Project description:Dunster2014 - WBC Interactions (Model1)
This is a sub-model of a three-step
inflammatory response modelling study. The model includes distinct
populations of white blood cells namely, macrophages and active and
apoptotic neutrophil populations. Neutrophil apoptosis rate is
predicted to be crucial for the qualitative nature of the
system.
This model is described in the article:

Abstract:
There is growing interest in inflammation due to its
involvement in many diverse medical conditions, including
Alzheimer's disease, cancer, arthritis and asthma. The
traditional view that resolution of inflammation is a passive
process is now being superceded by an alternative hypothesis
whereby its resolution is an active, anti-inflammatory process
that can be manipulated therapeutically. This shift in mindset
has stimulated a resurgence of interest in the biological
mechanisms by which inflammation resolves. The
anti-inflammatory processes central to the resolution of
inflammation revolve around macrophages and are closely related
to pro-inflammatory processes mediated by neutrophils and their
ability to damage healthy tissue. We develop a spatially
averaged model of inflammation centring on its resolution,
accounting for populations of neutrophils and macrophages and
incorporating both pro- and anti-inflammatory processes. Our
ordinary differential equation model exhibits two outcomes that
we relate to healthy and unhealthy states. We use bifurcation
analysis to investigate how variation in the system parameters
affects its outcome. We find that therapeutic manipulation of
the rate of macrophage phagocytosis can aid in resolving
inflammation but success is critically dependent on the rate of
neutrophil apoptosis. Indeed our model predicts that an
effective treatment protocol would take a dual approach,
targeting macrophage phagocytosis alongside neutrophil
apoptosis.

Project description:Despite the progress to understand inflammatory reactions, mechanisms causing their resolution remain poorly understood. Prostanoids, especially prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), are well characterized mediators of inflammation. PGE2 is produced in an inducible manner in macrophages (Mf) by microsomal PGE2-synthase-1 (mPGES-1), with the notion that it also conveys pro-resolving properties. We aimed to characterize the role of mPGES-1 during resolution of acute, zymosan-induced peritonitis. Experimentally, we applied the mPGES-1 inhibitor compound III (CIII) once the inflammatory response was established and confirmed its potent PGE2-blocking efficacy. mPGES-1 inhibition resulted in an incomplete removal of neutrophils and a concomitant increase in monocytes and Mf during the resolution process. mRNA-seq analysis identified enhanced C-X3-C motif receptor 1 (CX3CR1) expression in resident and infiltrating Mf upon mPGES-1 inhibition. Besides elevated Cx3cr1 expression, its ligand CX3CL1 was enriched in the peritoneal lavage of the mice, produced by epithelial cells upon mPGES-1 inhibition. CX3CL1 not only increased adhesion and survival of Mf, but its neutralization also completely reversed elevated inflammatory cell numbers, thereby normalizing the cellular, peritoneal composition during resolution. Our data suggest that mPGES-1-derived PGE2 contributes to resolution of inflammation by preventing CX3CL1-mediated retention of activated myeloid cells at sites of injury.

Project description:A persistent and non-resolving inflammatory response to accumulating Aβ peptide species is a cardinal feature in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In response to accumulating Aβ peptide species, microglia, the innate immune cells of the brain, generate a toxic inflammatory response that accelerates synaptic and neuronal injury. Many pro-inflammatory signaling pathways are linked to progression of neurodegeneration. However, endogenous anti-inflammatory pathways capable of suppressing Aβ-induced inflammation represent a relatively unexplored area. Here we hypothesized that signaling through the prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2) EP4 receptor potently suppresses microglial inflammatory responses to Aβ42 peptides. In cultured microglial cells, EP4 stimulation attenuated levels of Aβ42-induced inflammatory factors and potentiated phagocytosis of Aβ42. Microarray analysis was performed and demonstrated that EP4 stimulation broadly opposed Aβ42-driven gene expression changes in microglia, with enrichment for targets of IRF1, IRF7, and NF-κB transcription factors.

Project description:Direct cardiac reprogramming from fibroblasts can be a promising approach for disease modeling, drug screening, and cardiac regeneration in pediatric and adult patients. However, postnatal and adult fibroblasts are less efficient for reprogramming compared with embryonic fibroblasts, and barriers to cardiac reprogramming associated with aging remain undetermined. In this study, we screened 8,400 chemical compounds, and found that diclofenac sodium (diclofenac), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, greatly enhanced cardiac reprogramming in combination with Gata4, Mef2c, and Tbx5 (GMT) or GMT plus Hand2. Intriguingly, diclofenac promoted cardiac reprogramming in mouse postnatal and adult tail-tip fibroblasts (TTFs), but not in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Mechanistically, diclofenac enhanced cardiac reprogramming by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2, prostaglandin E2/prostaglandin E receptor 4, cyclic AMP/protein kinase A, and interleukin 1b pathway, silencing inflammatory and fibroblast programs, which were activated in postnatal and adult TTFs. Thus, anti-inflammation can be a new target for cardiac reprogramming associated with aging.

Project description:<p>Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is an anti-inflammatory protein present in different cells in biological systems, especially expressed in macrophages and neutrophils. Since neutrophils play an important role in infections and inflammatory processes and the AnxA1 and its relation in Candida spp. infections is not well understood, our study highlights a perspective in AnxA1 as a target protein in control the immune response during fungi infection. C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) and AnxA1 knockout (AnxA1-/-) peritoneal neutrophils were coinfected with Candida albicans or Candida auris for 4 hours. High levels of COX-2 were observed in WT and AnxA1-/- neutrophils infected with C. albicans and C. auris coinfection. In addition, AnxA1-/- neutrophils exhibited a marked increase of phosphorylated ERK, p-38 and JNK levels after coinfection with both Candida spp. Lipidomics approach shows that lack of AnxA1 produced a marked difference in lipid profile of control or coinfected neutrophil supernatants compared to WT, especially glycerophospholipids and glycerolipids. In summary, our results showed that endogenous AnxA1 regulates neutrophil response under fungal infection and its lipid membrane organization and metabolism. </p>

Project description:Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a deadly complication of sepsis lacking effective managements. Although excessive inflammatory responses are emerging as key triggers of coagulopathy in sepsis, the interplays between immune system and coagulation are not fully understood. In a murine model of sepsis induced by intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide (LPS), we found neutrophils in circulation mitigate the occurrence of DIC, thereby preventing the subsequent septic death. We found circulating neutrophils constantly release extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing mitochondria, which carry substantial amount of Superoxide Dismutase 2 (Sod2) upon LPS exposure. The extracellular Sod2 is necessary to bring about neutrophils’ antithrombotic function by eliminating endothelial reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and alleviating endothelial dysfunction. Intervening endothelial ROS accumulation by antioxidants significantly ameliorates DIC with correspondingly improved survival in sepsis. These findings revealed a novel interaction between neutrophils and vascular endothelium which critically regulates coagulation in sepsis and had potential implications for the management of septic DIC.

Project description:Neutrophil accumulation in crypt abscesses is a pathological hallmark of ulcerative colitis. Based on recent evidence that mucosal metabolic changes influence disease outcomes, we hypothesized that transmigrating neutrophils influence the transcriptional profile of intestinal epithelia. Microarray studies revealed a cohort of hypoxia-responsive genes regulated by neutrophil-epithelial crosstalk. Real-time O2 sensing indicated that transmigrating neutrophils rapidly deplete microenvironmental O2 sufficient enough to stabilize intestinal epithelial cell hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). Utilizing HIF reporter mice in a TNBS colitis model, we investigated the relative contribution of neutrophils and the respiratory burst to M-bM-^@M-^\inflammatory hypoxiaM-bM-^@M-^] in vivo. Gp91phox-null mice, which mirror human chronic granulomatous disease, developed accentuated colitis compared to control with exaggerated neutrophil infiltration and diminished inflammatory hypoxia. In conclusion, transcriptional imprinting of host tissue by infiltrating neutrophils modulates the host response to inflammation. Likewise, the respiratory burst contributes fundamentally to localized O2 depletion, resultant microenvironmental hypoxia and effective inflammatory resolution. Two models were employed, direct and indirect. The M-bM-^@M-^\DirectM-bM-^@M-^] migration model entailed establishing a chemotactic gradient (using fMLP) across monolayers of T84 intestinal epithelial cells grown on the underside of permeable supports (3um pore). Neutrophils (PMN) were induced to migrate in the physiologically relevant the physiologically relevant basolateral-to-apical direction. Following migration, T84s were rested in complete media and 2hrs later harvested for RNA isolation. In the Indirect model, PMN were applied to T84s as with the direct model. After migration, conditioned supernatants were collected, cells pelleted and supernatants filtered through 0.2um pore. Conditioned supernatants were transferred to naive T84 monolayers for 2hrs, followed by RNA harvest. Each model was exposed to neutrophils (PMN) or not. All monolayers contained chemotactic peptide fMLP on the apical side. Total of 12 samples, 4 conditions in triplicate: Direct migration without neutrophils (T84 +fMLP -PMN), Direct migration with neutrophils (T84 +fMLP +PMN), Indirect migration without neutrophils (T84 +fMLP -PMN), Indirect migration with neutrophils (T84 +fMLP +PMN)

Project description:We report the effect of rexolitinib on neutrophil function, by extracting mouse bone marrow neutrophils, and after treatment with Ruxolitinib and vehicle, extracting neutrophil RNA from each group for RNA-seq. Finally, we show that Ruxolitinib produces functional effects on neutrophils mainly through inflammatory signaling pathways, amplifying the immune effects of neutrophils in an inflammatory environment and accelerating neutrophil death.
