Project description:Neutrophil homeostasis is maintained, in part, by the regulated release of neutrophils from the bone marrow. Constitutive expression of the chemokine CXCL12 by bone marrow stromal cells provides a key retention signal for neutrophils in the bone marrow through activation of its receptor CXCR4. Herein, we show that the ELR chemokines CXCL1 and CXCL2 are constitutively expressed by bone marrow endothelial cells and osteoblasts, and CXCL2 expression is induced in endothelial cells during granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-induced neutrophil mobilization. Neutrophils lacking CXCR2, the receptor for CXCL1 and CXCL2, are preferentially retained in the bone marrow, reproducing a myelokathexis phenotype. Transient disruption of CXCR4 failed to mobilize CXCR2 neutrophils. However, doubly deficient neutrophils (CXCR2-/- CXCR4-/-) displayed constitutive mobilization, showing that CXCR4 plays a dominant role. Collectively, these data suggest that CXCR2 signaling is a second chemokine axis that interacts antagonistically with CXCR4 to regulate neutrophil release from the bone marrow. We used gene expression microarrays to determine the changes in osteoblasts and bone marrow endothelial cells after G-CSF treatment. 3 untreated and G-CSF-treated osteoblast samples and 4 untreated and G-CSF-treated endothelial samples.

Project description:Lymph nodes are vital for optimizing immune responses. Stress can induce several cellular and humoral immune responses. Acute restraint stress (RS) is a routinely used experimental procedure for studying psychological and/or physiological stress effects. Here, we determined the impact of RS on cervical lymph nodes in rats at the molecular and cellular levels. Stress was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by immobilization for 30, 60, and 120 min (RS30, RS60, and RS120, respectively) relative to a no-stress control (C) group. Expression of genes encoding chemokines CXCL1/CXCL2 (Cxcl1 and Cxcl2) and their receptor CXCR2 (Cxcr2) was analyzed at the mRNA level by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and microarray analyses. Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization were performed to determine the expression of these moieties along with the macrophage biomarker, CD68. Microarray analysis revealed that expression of 514 and 496 genes was upregulated and downregulated, respectively, in RS30. Cxcl1 and Cxcl2 expression showed a 23- and 13-fold increase, respectively, in RS30 relative to the C group. Expression of Cxcr2 was upregulated by approximately 1.6-fold in RS30 relative to the C group. Gene ontology analysis of three upregulated genes induced by RS30 suggested that they may be responsible for the cytokine network, inflammation, as well as leukocyte chemotaxis and migration. RT-qPCR analysis indicated that the mRNA levels of Cxcl1 and Cxcl2 significantly increased in RS30 but reverted to normal levels in RS60 and RS120. Cxcr2 mRNA level also increased significantly in RS30 and RS120 relative to the C group. RS-induced CXCL1-immunopositive cells corresponded to B/plasma cells, while CXCL2-immunopositive cells corresponded to endothelial cells of the high endothelial venules. Stress-induced CXCR2-immunopositive cells corresponded to macrophages. Psychological and/or physiological stress induces acute stress response and immunoreactive microenvironment in cervical lymph nodes, and the CXCL1/CXCL2-CXCR2 axis is pivotal in acute stress response.

Project description:Leukemia stem cells (LSC) are not eradicated in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients responding to tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment. Bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal niches play an essential role in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance. Here, we examined leukemia-induced alterations in mesenchymal progenitor populations using a murine CML model. 6C3+ stroma-forming progenitors were increased in CML BM, and demonstrated enhanced LSC but reduced HSC support compared to their normal counterparts. CML 6C3 cells showed enhanced TNFa-related gene signatures, and upregulated CXCL1 expression. TNFα signaling contributed to expansion and increased CXCL1 expression by 6C3 cells in CML BM. The CXCL1 receptor CXCR2 was upregulated in in LSC, and CXCR2 inhibition significantly reduced LSC growth both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, TNFα-induced alterations in stromal progenitors in CML BM result in enhanced CML LSC growth via CXCL1-CXCR2 signaling. Targeting this axis represents a novel therapeutic strategy to inhibit BM niche-protected LSC.

Project description:[Background] TNFa-induced adipose-related protein (TIARP) is a six-transmembrane protein that is expressed on macrophages, neutrophils and synoviocytes. We have recently reported that TIARP deficient mice (TIARP-/-) spontaneously developed arthritis, and had the high susceptibility to collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) with enhanced interleukin (IL)-6 production. However, the effect of TIARP to neutrophils and fibroblast-like syonoviocytes (FLS) has not been clearly elucidated. [Methods] We analyzed the roles of TIARP in K/BxN serum transfer model using TIARP-/- mice. We characterized the differences of neutrophils between WT and TIARP-/- mice by DNA microarray. Transmigration assays of TIARP-/- neutrophils were performed in vitro and in vivo. FLS were cultured with TNF? and the production of CXCL2 (a specific ligand of CXCR1 and CXCR2) and IL-6 were measured by ELISA. Moreover, TIARP-/- mice transferred with K/BxN serum were treated with anti-IL-6R antibodies. [Results] Arthritis in TIARP-/- mice transferred with K/BxN serum was significantly exacerbated. We identified overexpression of CXCR1 and CXCR2 in TIARP-/- neutrophils by DNA microarray. Neutrophils from TIARP-/- mice showed strong migration activity. The enhancement of chomotactic activity of TIARP-/- neutrophil was greatly facilitated by CXCL2 in vitro and in vivo. In addition, TIARP-/-FLS has enhanced the production of CXCL2 and IL-6 and the cell proliferation in the presence of TNFa, and the blockade of IL-6R significantly attenuated arthritis in vivo. [Conclusion] Our findings indicate that TIARP might down-regulate the production of CXCL2 and IL-6 in FLS, and the expression of chemokine receptors (CXCR1 and CXCR2) in neutrophils, resulting in the protective ability of neutrophils migration into arthritic joints. Mice were treated with thiogycollate medium intraperitoneally. After 3 days, peritoneal macrophages were isolated from three WT or TIARP-deficient mice, and these cells were stimulated by TNF? for 24 hours. Ly6G+ Neutrophils were isolated from splenocytes by MACS.

Project description:Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 6A (KDM6A) is a frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, how KDM6A loss impacts PDAC tumor immune microenvironment is not known. Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the tumor microenvironment contribute to PDAC progression. This study used genetically engineered pancreas-specific Kdm6a-knockout PDAC mouse model and human PDAC tissue samples to demonstrate that KDM6A loss correlates with increased TANs and NETs formation. Genome-wide Bru-seq analysis showed that the expression of many chemotactic cytokines, especially CXC motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1), were upregulated in KDM6A-knockout PDAC cells. We confirmed that KDM6A-deficient PDAC cells secreted higher levels of CXCL1 protein, which in turn recruits neutrophils. Furthermore, the CXCL1 neutralizing antibody blocked the chemotactic and NETs-promoting property of KDM6A-deficient PDAC cells and tumor growth in a syngeneic orthotopic xenograft mouse model, confirming that CXCL1 was the main mediator of chemotaxis and PDAC growth in this model. These findings shed light on how KDM6A regulates tumor immune microenvironment and PDAC progression and suggest that the CXCL1-CXCR2 axis may be a candidate target for treating PDACs with KDM6A loss.

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) represent a major component of the tumor microenvironment that supports tumorigenesis. Here we found that prostate tumors are strongly infiltrated by TAMs expressing the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CXCR2). Pharmacological blockade of the CXCR2 receptor by a selective antagonist promoted the re-education of TAMs towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype. In vitro gene expression profiling revealed that CXCL2 promotes a pro-tumorigenic (M2-like) functional state in macrophages.
