Project description:The project examines the mechanisms of neutrophil dysfunction during sepsis. Our work uncovered the central role of cell free circulating histones in eliminating mature neutrophil in favour of immature cells and characterized the mechanisms that regulate their release following systemic infection. Mature and immature neutrophil Ly6Ghigh and Ly6Glow populations isolated from the spleens of WT and TCRα-deficient mice either naïve or infected with C. albicans were characterized. In addition, these populations were compared to neutrophils isolated from WT mice receiving Clodronate-liposomes and recombinant G-CSF. These studies demonstrated that T-cell derived histones drive the release of G-CSF in the spleen and progressively eliminate mature neutrophils by shortening their lifespan. Finally, we conducted proteomic analysis of plasmas isolated from patients with microbial sepsis to correlate markers of neutrophil death to plasma cytokine and histone levels, confirming the pathogenic role these molecules play during sepsis in humans.

Project description:Severe infections and sepsis is an increasing clinical problem that cause prolonged morbidity and substantial mortality. At present, antibiotics are essentially the only pharmacological treatment for sepsis. The incidence of antibiotic resistance is increasing and it is therefore critical to find new therapies for sepsis. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a major cause of septic mortality. Neutrophils play a major role in defense against bacterial infections. We have recently shown that a saturated high fat diet decreases survival in septic mice, but the mechanisms behind remain elusive. The aim of the present study was to investigate how the dietary fat composition affects survival and neutrophils function after experimental septic infection in mice. We found that, after S. aureus infection, mice fed polyunsaturated high fat diet (HFD/P) for 8 weeks had increased septic survival and decreased bacterial load compared with mice fed saturated HFD (HFD/S), and similar to that of mice given low fat diet (LFD). Furthermore, uninfected mice fed HFD/P had increased number of Ly6G+ neutrophils in bone marrow. In addition, mice fed HFD/P had a higher number Ly6G+ neutrophils recruited to the site of inflammation after peritoneal injection of thioglycollate. In conclusion, polyunsaturated dietary fat increased both survival and the efficiency of the bacterial clearance during septic S. aureus infection. Moreover, this diet enhanced the number and chemotaxis of neutrophils, a key component of the immune response to S. aureus infections. Mice (non-infected) fed saturated high fat diet, low fat diet, or polyunsaturated high fat diet

Project description:Atglflox/flox (B6N.129S-Pnpla2tm1Eek/J), S100A8-cre+/- (B6.Cg-Tg(S100A8-cre,-EGFP)1Ilw/J) mice were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory. Atglflox/flox mice were bred to S100A8-cre+/- mice to generate Atglflox/WTS100A8-cre+/- mice, which were backcrossed onto Atglflox/flox mice to generate Atglflox/floxS100A8-cre+/- mice (Atgl neutrophils-specific knock out, Atgl-cKO). Age-matched littermate Atglflox/flox mice were used as wild-type (WT) controls. To compare of the gene expression of the lung-infiltrating neutrophils isolated from Atgl-cKO mice and their WT littermates, AT3-g-csf cells were injected into the fourth mammary fat pads of female WT and Atgl-cKO mice (10-week-old, n = 4/group). The AT3-g-csf cell line is based on a murine breast cancer cell line (AT3) derived from MMTV-PyMT tumors in the C57BL/6 background, and further constructed to overexpress granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for induction of the host inflammatory condition. At day 10 (pre-metastatic stage), the mice were euthanized and then Ly6G+ neutrophils were isolated from lung by using anti-Ly6G MicroBead Kit (Miltenyi Biotec) following manufacturer’s instructions. The isolated neutrophils were analyzed by flow cytometry and the cells with a > 95% purity were used for the next procedure. Total RNA was isolated from neutrophils using the miRNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen) and the transcriptional profiles of neutrophils were analyzed by RNA sequencing.

Project description:The mechanisms underlying the increased mortality of secondary infections during the immunosuppressive phase of sepsis remain elusive. We established a mouse model of sepsis-induced immunosuppression followed by secondary infection. Compared to other organs, we observed a significant reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines in the spleen, accompanied by a marked increase in IL-10 production, primarily by infiltrating neutrophils. Furthermore, we confirmed that these infiltrating neutrophils in the spleen during the immunosuppressive phase of sepsis undergo phenotypic change in the local microenvironment, exhibiting high expression of neutrophil biomarkers such as Siglec-F, Ly6G, and Siglec-E. These neutrophils subsequently produced IL-10 to suppress T lymphocytes. Depletion of neutrophils or specifically targeting Siglec-F leads to a notable improvement in the survival of mice with secondary infections. The identification of Siglec-F+ neutrophils as key regulators of immunosuppression following sepsis represents a novel finding with potential therapeutic implications.

Project description:Microglial activation represents a hallmark of inflammatory retinal diseases like diabetic retinopathy. Anti-inflammatory and especially microglia modulating approaches have been proposed as therapies for these diseases. In this study, clodronate-coated liposomes were intravitreally injected to investigate the effects of increased microglial activation on vasoregression in a model of retinal degeneration. Clodronate-coated liposomes, injected twice over a period of 5 weeks to study the effects of long term clodronate treatment on microglial activation, vasoregression (acellular capillary formation and pericyte loss) and to identify the pathways mediating the observed effects.

Project description:We generated RNAseq results from the mammary tissues of mice from a 2 x 2 factorial design experiment (running wheels vs. control condition X clodronate liposomes vs. PBS liposomes) where EO771 mammary cancer cells had been engrafted in the mammary tissue for nascent tumor formation. RNAseq results were used to complete digital cytometry with the CIBERSORTx platform to analyze relative proportions of M1-like and M2-like macrophages in the mammary tissue.

Project description:We generated Ikkα-KA/KA knock-in mice (KA/KA), in which an ATP binding site of Ikkα Lys 44 was replaced by alanine. The knock-in mice develop severe skin lesions and begin to die after 6 to 10 months. We also found lung SCCs in some of the mice. To study lung SCC development, we stabilize the skin condition by crossing KA/KA with Lori.Ikkα transgenic mice to generate KA/KA-Lori.Ikkα mice, which 100% spontaneously developed lethal lung SCC at 4 to 6 months of age. Clodronate-liposomes obtained from Dr. N. van Rooijen (Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, Netherlands) were intravenously injected into mice twice every week, started in 4 weeks old mice, and continued for 3 months. The dose of clodronate-liposomes was 100µl during the first month and elevated to 150 100µl after that. The depletion efficacy was confirmed by detecting pulmonary macrophages with Flow Cytometry. Depletion of macrophages in these KA/KA-Lori.Ikkα mice could significantly reduce inflammation and prevent lung SCC developmrnt. This aim of this microarray assay is to identify differentially expressed genes among Wild type, KA/KA-Lori.Ikkα, and macophage-depleted KA/KA-Lori.Ikkα mice, which may highlight the important genes or parthways involved in inflammation-associated lung SCC carcinogenesis. Three samples were analyzed: 1. WT (lung tissue from wild type mouse); 2. KA2 (mixture tissue of lung SCC and tumor neighbor from KA/KA-Lori-Ikkα mouse ); 3. KAT (lung tissue from KA/KA-Lori-Ikkα mouse with macrophage depletion treatment)
