Diverse homeostatic and immunomodulatory roles of immune cells in the developing mouse lung revealed at single cell resolution

ABSTRACT: At birth, the lungs experience a sudden transition from a pathogen-free, hypoxic, fluid-filled environment to a pathogen-rich, rhythmically distended air-liquid interface. While many studies focus on adult tissue, the heterogeneity of immune cells in the perinatal lung remains unexplored. Here, we combine single cell transcriptomics with in situ hybridization to present an atlas of the murine lung immune compartment during a critical period of lung development. We show that the late embryonic lung is dominated by specialized proliferative macrophages with a surprising physical interaction with the developing vasculature. These macrophages disappear after birth and are replaced by a complex and dynamic mixture of macrophage subtypes, dendritic cells, granulocytes, and lymphocytes. Detailed characterization of macrophage diversity revealed a precise orchestration of five distinct subpopulations across postnatal development to fill context-specific functions in tissue remodeling, angiogenesis, and immunity. These data both broaden the putative roles for immune cells in the developing lung and provide a framework for understanding how external insults alter immune cell phenotype during a period of rapid lung growth and heightened vulnerability.

Smith2011 - Three Stage Innate Immune Response to a Pneumococcal Lung Infection

Project description:Pneumococcal pneumonia is a leading cause of death and a major source of human morbidity. The initial immune response plays a central role in determining the course and outcome of pneumococcal disease. We combine bacterial titer measurements from mice infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae with mathematical modeling to investigate the coordination of immune responses and the effects of initial inoculum on outcome. To evaluate the contributions of individual components, we systematically build a mathematical model from three subsystems that describe the succession of defensive cells in the lung: resident alveolar macrophages, neutrophils and monocyte-derived macrophages. The alveolar macrophage response, which can be modeled by a single differential equation, can by itself rapidly clear small initial numbers of pneumococci. Extending the model to include the neutrophil response required additional equations for recruitment cytokines and host cell status and damage. With these dynamics, two outcomes can be predicted: bacterial clearance or sustained bacterial growth. Finally, a model including monocyte-derived macrophage recruitment by neutrophils suggests that sustained bacterial growth is possible even in their presence. Our model quantifies the contributions of cytotoxicity and immune-mediated damage in pneumococcal pathogenesis.

Macrophages control pathological interferon responses during viral respiratory infection

Project description:Antiviral immune mediators, including interferons and their downstream effectors, are critical for host defense yet can become detrimental when uncontrolled. Here, we identify a macrophage-mediated anti-inflammatory mechanism that limits type I interferon (IFN-I) responses. Specifically, we found that cellular stress and pathogen recognition induce Oncostatin M (OSM) production by macrophages. OSM-deficient mice succumbed to challenge with influenza or a viral mimic due to heightened IFN-I activation. Macrophage-derived OSM restricted excessive IFN-I production by lung epithelial cells following viral stimulation. Furthermore, reconstitution of OSM in the respiratory tract was sufficient to protect mice lacking macrophage-derived OSM against morbidity, indicating the importance of local OSM production. This work reveals a host strategy to dampen inflammation in the lung through the negative regulation of IFN-I by macrophages.

Microarray Analysis of mRNA Levels from RAW264.7 Macrophages Infected with Brucella abortus

Project description:Identification of host responses at the gene transcription level provides a molecular profile of the events that occur following infection. Brucella abortus is a facultative intracellular pathogen of macrophages that induces chronic infection in humans and domestic animals. Using microarray technology, the response of macrophages 4 hours following B. abortus infection was analyzed to identify early intracellular infection events that occur in macrophages. Of the more than 6,000 genes, we identified over 140 genes that were reproducibly differentially transcribed. First, an increase in the transcription of a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-1α, and members of the SCY family of proteins, was evident that may constitute a general host recruitment of antibacterial defenses. Alternatively, Brucella may subvert newly arriving macrophages for additional intracellular infection. Second, transcription of receptors and cytokines associated with antigen presentation, e.g., MHC class II and IL-12p40, were not evident at this 4 hour period of infection. Third, Brucella inhibited transcription of various host genes involved in apoptosis, cell cycling, and intracellular vesicular trafficking. Identification of macrophage genes whose transcription was inhibited suggests that Brucella utilizes specific mechanisms to target certain cell pathways. In conclusion, these data suggest that B. abortus can alter macrophage pathways to recruit additional macrophages for future infection while simultaneously inhibiting apoptosis and innate immune mechanisms within the macrophage permitting intracellular survival of the bacterium. These results provide insights into the pathogenic strategies used by Brucella to survive long-term within a hostile environment.

Metabolomic profiling of macrophages determines the discrete metabolomic signature and metabolomic interactome triggered by polarising immune stimuli

Project description:Priming and activating immune stimuli have profound effects on macrophages, however, studies generally evaluate stimuli in isolation rather than in combination. In this study we have investigated the effects of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory stimuli either alone or in combination on macrophage metabolism. These stimuli include host factors such as IFNγ and ovalbumin-immunoglobulin immune complexes, or pathogen factors such as LPS. Untargeted LC-MS based metabolomics provided an in-depth profile of the macrophage metabolome, and revealed specific changes in metabolite abundance upon either individual stimuli or combined stimuli. Here, by factoring in an interaction term in the linear model, we define the metabolome interactome. This approach allowed us to determine whether stimuli interact in a synergistic or antagonistic manner. In conclusion this study demonstrates a robust approach to interrogate immune-metabolism, especially systems that model host-pathogen interactions.

Ingestion of Cryptococcus neoformans by macrophages damages multiple host cellular processes

Project description:Human infection with Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn), a prevalent fungal pathogen, occurs by inhalation and deposition in the lung alveoli of infectious particles. The subsequent host pathogen interaction is multifactorial and can result either in eradication, latency or extra-pulmonary dissemination. Successful control of Cn infection is dependent on host macrophages as shown by numerous studies. However in vitro macrophages display little ability to kill Cn. Recently, we reported that ingestion of Cn by macrophages induces early cell cycle progression that is subsequently followed by mitotic arrest, an event that almost certainly reflects damage to the host cell. The goal of the present work was to understand macrophage pathways affected by Cn toxicity. Infection of J774.16 macrophage-like cell line macrophages by Cn in vitro was associated with changes in gene pattern expression. Concomitantly we observed depolarization of macrophage mitochondria and alterations in protein translation rate. Our results indicate that Cn infection impairs multiple host cellular functions. Therefore we conclude Cn intracellular residence in macrophages undermines the health of these critical phagocytic cells interfering with their ability to clear the fungal pathogen.

Multi-angled transcriptome analyses reveal chameleon-like behavior of macrophages in the porcine respiratory tract

Project description:Macrophages have a pivotal role during viral infections in pigs. By expressing cell surface receptors, macrophages become viral targets and reservoirs. In the case of upper respiratory tract infections, many viruses target the peripheral nasal mucosa. Recent in vivo and in vitro (primary nasal cell cultures) porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) studies demonstrated that several macrophage subsets exist in the porcine nasal mucosa, and that virus strains with different virulence showed altered tropism for these different macrophage populations. To further investigate these macrophage subsets, total RNA sequencing was performed in parallel on two subsets from the nasal mucosa and lung macrophages. Macrophages were isolated by either fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS; cf. bulk RNAseq) or laser capture microdissection (LCM; cf. LCM RNAseq) in combination with immunofluorescence staining against two macrophage markers, CD163 and Sialoadhesin (Sn). With both RNAseq methods, nasal macrophages showed a different transcriptomic profile compared to lung macrophages. Differentially expressed genes were identified in the two subsets of nasal macrophages. Gene set enrichment analysis on the three macrophage populations showed that GO terms and KEGG pathways on LCM RNAseq data were more specific to the spatial location of macrophage subsets than bulk RNAseq data. Cell type signature analysis revealed that nasal CD163+Sn- cells resemble squamous epithelial cells (LCM RNAseq) or antigen presenting cells (bulk RNAseq) while nasal CD163+Sn+ cells are more like fibroblasts/stromal cells (LCM RNAseq) or vascular endothelial cell (bulk RNAseq). Our results confirmed that not only macrophages in different tissues but also macrophages in different areas within the same tissue have different transcriptional programs, suggesting their differential roles in their interaction with pathogens and corresponding immune responses.

Single-Cell Profiling of Premature Neonate Airways Reveals a Continuum of Myeloid Differentiation

Project description:Single-cell genomic technologies hold great potential to advance our understanding of lung development and disease. A major limitation lies in accessing intact cells from primary lung tissues for profiling human airway health. Sampling methods such as endotracheal aspiration that are compatible with clinical interventions could enable longitudinal studies, the enrollment of large cohorts, and the development of novel diagnostics. To explore single-cell RNA sequencing profiling of the cell types present at birth in the airway lumen of extremely premature neonates (<28 wk gestation), we isolated cells from endotracheal aspirates collected from intubated neonates within the first 1 hour after birth. We generated data on 10 subjects, providing a rich view of airway luminal biology at a critical developmental period. Our results show that cells present in the airways of premature neonates primarily represent a continuum of myeloid differentiation, including fetal monocytes (25% of total), intermediate myeloid populations (48%), and macrophages (2.6%). Applying trajectory analysis to the myeloid populations, we identified two trajectories consistent with the developmental stages of interstitial and alveolar macrophages, as well as a third trajectory presenting an alternative pathway bridging the distinct macrophage precursors. The three trajectories share many dynamic genes (N= 5,451), but also have distinct transcriptional changes (259 alveolar-specific, 666 interstitial-specific, and 285 bridging-specific). Overall, our results define cells isolated within the so-called “golden hour of birth” in extremely premature neonate airways, representing complex lung biology, and can be used in studies of human development and disease.

Exogenous remodeling of the lung macrophage microenvironment protects against infectious consequences of bone marrow ablative chemotherapy

Project description:Infection is the single greatest threat to survival during cancer chemotherapy because of depletion of bone marrow derived immune cells. In the absence of phagocytes such as neutrophil, vaccine-induced humoral and cellular anti-pathogen immunity are compromised. Using a model of vaccine-induced protection against lethal P. aeruginosa pneumonia in the setting of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, we found a population of resident lung macrophages in the immunized lung that mediated protection in the absence of neutrophils, bone marrow derived monocytes, or antibodies. These vaccine-induced macrophages (ViMs) expanded after immunization, locally proliferated, and were closely related to alveolar macrophages (AMs) by surface phenotype and gene expression profiles. By contrast to AMs, numbers of ViMs were stable through chemotherapy, show enhanced phagocytic activity, and prolonged survival of neutropenic mice from lethal P. aeruginosa pneumonia upon intratracheal adoptive transfer. Thus, induction of ViMs by tissue macrophage remodeling may become a framework for new strategies to activate immune-mediated reserves against infection in immunocompromised hosts.

Circadian transcriptional profiling of peritoneal macrophages

Project description:In the immune system various parameters and immune functions are controlled by the circadian system. To investigate molecular mechanisms that link the circadian clock and the immune system we analyzed the transcriptom of peritoneal macrophages from mice collected in a time course for two consecutive days. We found that more than 8% of expressed genes are under circadian control including many important regulators in pathogen recognition, signal transduction and cytokine secretion. Peritoneal macrophages from mice kept in constant conditions were isolated in 4 h intervalls over a period of 48 h. RNA of CD11b sorted cells was extracted, pooled from 3 mice per time point and used for microarray analysis.

CD11b restricts alveolar macrophage activation during pneumococcal pneumonia and prevents excessive lung inflammation

Project description:Bacterial lung infections are associated with strong infiltration of CD11b+ myeloid cells, which limit life-threatening disease, but also severely damage lung tissue. In a murine lung infection model with Streptococcus pneumoniae, we found intrinsic upregulation of CD11b on resident alveolar macrophages. Such CD11b expression was associated with transcriptomic and proteomic adaptations by alveolar macrophages, leading to the identification of specific molecules and pathways that depended on CD11b. In the absence of CD11b, the antimicrobial defense of alveolar macrophages was strongly reduced, and the production of neutrophil-recruiting chemokines was more pronounced. Moreover, CD11b expression limited the infection and prevented excessive alveolar damage. In conclusion, our study provides detailed molecular insights into the alveolar macrophage-specific immune response to Streptococcus pneumoniae lung infection and reveals profound CD11b-dependent alterations that are critical for effective antimicrobial immunity, neutrophil recruitment, and prevention of alveolar damage.
