Resident macrophages promote homeostasis of hyaluronan-associated extracellular matrix in the mammary gland stroma

ABSTRACT: Tissue resident macrophages in the mammary gland are found in close association with epithelial structures and within the adipose stroma, and are important for mammary gland development and tissue homeostasis. While epithelial-associated macrophages have been linked to ductal development, the contributions of stromal macrophages to mammary gland homeostasis remain unknown. Using transcriptional profiling, we identify a distinct resident stromal macrophage subpopulation that is characterized by expression of Lyve-1, a receptor for the extracellular matrix component hyaluronan. This subpopulation is enriched in genes associated with extracellular matrix remodeling and is found to be specifically associated with hyaluronan-rich regions within the mammary stroma. Furthermore, macrophage depletion leads to increased accumulation of hyaluronan-associated extracellular matrix in the mammary stroma. These results demonstrate the presence of a distinct subpopulation of macrophages and provide insights into the functional contributions of these macrophages to stromal homeostasis in the mammary gland.

Expression array of stromal Mmp14-targeted mammary glands

Project description:Mammary gland branching morphogenesis is thought to depend on the mobilization of proteolytic machinery from the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family, namely MT1-MMP/MMP14, to drive coordinated epithelial cell invasion through the interstitial extracellular matrix, but the dominant effector has remained undefined. Unexpectedly, we find MMP14 controls postnatal mammary gland branching from the periductal stroma. Transcriptome profiling of stromal cell-targeted mammary glands was used to characterize the impact of stromal Mmp14-targeting on the growth factor and signaling cascades implicated in mammary gland morphogenesis. Transcriptome profiling of ductal networks and associated stroma was used to investigate the functional roles of MMP14 in the postnatal mammary gland stroma in an unbiased fashion.

LYVE-1-expressing macrophages modulate the extracellular matrix in the mammary gland and contribute to mammary tumor growth

Project description:Macrophages represent a heterogeneous myeloid population with diverse functions in normal tissues and tumors. While LYVE-1 macrophages have been identified in stromal regions of the normal mammary gland and mammary tumor, their functions in these regions remain unknown. Using a genetic LYVE-1+ macrophage deletion model, we demonstrate that loss of LYVE-1+ macrophages leads to accumulation of the extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan. Consistent with this finding, we demonstrate that LYVE-1 expression correlates with an increased ability of macrophages to bind, internalize, and degrade hyaluronan. Furthermore, we demonstrate that deletion of LYVE-1+ macrophages results in increased hyaluronan accumulation in mammary tumors, which correlates with reduced tumor growth. Finally, using scRNA-seq, we demonstrate that deletion of LYVE-1 macrophages in tumors results in a shift in the remaining macrophages towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype. Together, these findings demonstrate that LYVE-1+ macrophages represent an anti-inflammatory macrophage population that contributes to tissue remodeling in the tumor microenvironment.

Expression array of early postnatal Mt2-mmp-targeted mammary glands

Project description:Mammary gland branching morphogenesis is thought to depend on the mobilization of the membrane-anchored matrix metalloproteinases, MT1-MMP and MT2-MMP, that drive epithelial cell invasion by remodeling the extracellular matrix and triggering associated signaling cascades. However, the roles that these proteinases play during mammary gland development in vivo remains undefined. A mammary gland branching program that occurs during the first 10 days of early postnatal development was used to characterize the impact of global Mt1-mmp or Mt2-mmp targeting on mammary gland morphogenesis. Transcriptome profiling of ductal networks and associated stroma was used to investigate the functional roles of MT2-MMP in the early postnatal mammary gland in an unbiased fashion.

RNA-seq expression profiling of ductal macrophages and antigen presenting cells from virgin mouse mammary glands

Project description:Macrophages are diverse immune cells that reside in all tissues to regulate development, function and homeostasis. In the mammary gland, a highly dynamic organ that undergoes dramatic remodeling throughout life, macrophages have been implicated in development and breast tumorigenesis. Ductal macrophages, as opposed to their stromal counterparts, were found to promote ductal morphogenesis during puberty and efficiently phagocytose alveolar cells post-lactation. Within mammary tumors, only ductal macrophages expanded to form a network throughout the tumor, where they also contact intra-tumoral T cells. Furthermore, ductal macrophages accelerated the growth of tumor organoids. Thus, pro-remodeling mammary ductal macrophages represent the normal tissue counterpart of tumor macrophages in an organ that is highly susceptible to oncogenesis. To gain insight into ductal macrophage function, we sorted all antigen presenting cell populations from mouse mammary glands and undertook RNA-seq expression profiling. This showed that ductal macrophages have a distinct expression profile from those of stromal macrophages or dendritic cells from the mammary gland. Results from this data series are presented in Figure 2 of Dawson et al (2020).

Monocyte vs Macrophage Study

Project description:Human intestinal macrophages contribute to tissue homeostasis in noninflamed mucosa through profound down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine release. Here, we show that this down-regulation extends to Toll-like receptor (TLR)-induced cytokine release, as intestinal macrophages expressed TLR3-TLR9 but did not release cytokines in response to TLR-specific ligands. Likely contributing to this unique functional profile, intestinal macrophages expressed markedly down-regulated adapter proteins MyD88 and Toll interleukin receptor 1 domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon beta, which together mediate all TLR MyD88-dependent and -independent NF-kappaB signaling, did not phosphorylate NF-kappaB p65 or Smad-induced IkappaBalpha, and did not translocate NF-kappaB into the nucleus. Importantly, transforming growth factor-beta released from intestinal extracellular matrix (stroma) induced identical down-regulation in the NF-kappaB signaling and function of blood monocytes, the exclusive source of intestinal macrophages. Our findings implicate stromal transforming growth factor-beta-induced dysregulation of NF-kappaB proteins and Smad signaling in the differentiation of pro-inflammatory blood monocytes into noninflammatory intestinal macrophages. Comparison of unstimulated monocytes and macrophages, and flagellin stimulated monocytes and macrophages.

Normal stroma suppresses cancer cell proliferation via mechanosensitive regulation of JMJD1a-mediated transcription [array]

Project description:Matrix induced effects on gene expression in HeLa and MDA-MB-231 cells Tissue homeostasis is dependent on the spatially controlled localization of specific cell types and the correct composition of the extracellular stroma. While the role of the cancer stroma in tumor progression has been well characterized, the specific contribution of the matrix itself is unknown. Furthermore, the mechanisms enabling normal – not cancer – stroma to provide tumor suppressive signals and act as an anti-tumorigenic barrier are poorly understood. Here, we show that extracellular matrix (ECM) generated by normal fibroblasts (NFs) is softer than CAF-matrix and it is the physical and structural features of NF-generated matrix that regulate cancer cell proliferation . We find that normal stromal ECM triggers downregulation and nuclear exit of the histone demethylase JMJD1a resulting in the epigenetic growth restriction of carcinoma cells. Interestingly, JMJD1a positively regulates transcription of many target genes, including YAP/TAZ, and thus therefore gene expression in stiffness-dependent manner. Thus normal stromal restricts cancer cell proliferation through JMJD1a-dependent modulation of gene expression.

Transcription profiling of mouse Pten Null Fibroblasts

Project description:The tumor stroma is believed to contribute to some of the most malignant characteristics of epithelial tumors. However, signaling between stromal and tumor cells is complex and remains poorly understood. Here we show that genetic inactivation of Pten in stromal fibroblasts of mouse mammary glands accelerated the initiation, progression and malignant transformation of mammary epithelial tumors. Global gene expression profiling in mammary stromal cells identified a Pten-specific signature associated with massive extra-cellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, innate immune cell infiltraion and increased angiogenesis. Execution of this transcriptional program was mediated, in part, by the induction, phosphorylation and recruitment of Ets2 to target promoters. Remarkably, Ets2 inactivation in Pten stroma-deleted tumors was sufficient to decrease tumor growth and progression. These findings identify the Pten-Ets2 axis as a critical stroma-specific signaling pathway that suppresses mammary epithelial tumors. Experiment Overall Design: Wild type and Pten null primary mammary fibroblasts isolated from 8 week old female mice were cultured, RNA was extracted and Affymetrix gene expression arrays were performed.
