Project description:The objective of this study was to characterise macrophage subsets in bone marrow (BM) isolated from Csf1r-EGFP mice. A concurrent imaging flow cytometry study conducted by our team unexpectedly revealed macrophage surface marker staining emanates from membrane-bound subcellular remnants associated with unrelated cells. Expression data from sorted BM “macrophage” populations was found to be consistent with macrophage fragments associated with non-macrophage cells. Granulocyte-specific genes were enriched within the CD11b+ “macrophage” (CD11b+F4/80+Ly6G-GFPloVCAM1+) populations, whereas CD11b- “macrophages” (CD11b-F4/80+GFP+VCAM1+) were consistent with a mixed cell population including both plasma cells and erythroblasts. This data demonstrates how fragmentation of hematopoietic tissue macrophages can result in misattribution of macrophage identity to non-macrophage populations, thereby undermining accuracy of macrophage ex vivo molecular profiles.

Project description:Single cell RNA sequencing was performed on CD45+Ly6G-CD64+MerTK+ macrophages isolated from the lungs of mice 5 weeks after transplantation of 4T1-Luc mammary gland tumors. The purpose of this study was to determine the unique macrophage subsets present in the lungs of mice bearing mammary tumor metastases.

Project description:Therapies against glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) have been largely ineffective due to the infiltration of immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Recent studies demonstrated that TAMs can also be immune-activating. However, markers differentiating these heterogeneous macrophage populations have not been established. In this study, we identified a subset of macrophages expressing CD169 that promote an anti-tumoral microenvironment in GBM. Using single-cell transcriptome analysis, we found that CD169+ macrophages in human and mouse gliomas produced proinflammatory chemokines, leading to the accumulation of T cells and NK cells. Depletion of CD169+ macrophages shortened the survival of mice with gliomas and reduced the function of antitumor lymphocytes. We show that IFN-γ produced by NK cells was critical for the accumulation of CD169+ macrophages into gliomas. Additionally, CD169 expression on macrophages increased the phagocytosis of apoptotic glioma cells. Our finding suggests that the CD169+ subset of TAMs promotes antitumor immune responses against GBM.

Project description:We studied the impact of Ptdss1 knockdown in PyMT mouse mammary tumor cells and of Csf1-driven Mertk KO (macrophage-specfic) on tumor growth and the associated macrophage phenotype in an orthotopic tumor model. To gain insight into the reasons underlying tumor rejection once either Ptdss1 was deleted in tumor cells or Mertk was knocked out in macrophages, whole transcriptome profiling of FACS-sorted tumor-associated macrophages of WT or macrophage-specific Mertk KO mice receiving either control tumor cells or Ptdss1 knockdown tumor cells was performed via next generation mRNA sequencing, at least in triplicates, on a NextSeq 500 high-throughput bench top sequencer.

Project description:Tolerogenic dendritic cells (tol-DCs) offer a promising therapeutic potential for autoimmune diseases. Tol-DCs have been reported to inhibit immunogenic responses, yet little is known about the mechanisms controlling their tolerogenic status, as well as associated specific markers. Here we show that the anti-inflammatory TAM receptor tyrosine kinase MERTK, is highly expressed on clinical grade dexamethasone-induced human tol-DCs and mediates their tolerogenic effect. Neutralization of MERTK in allogenic mixed lymphocyte reactions as well as autologous DC-T cell cultures leads to increased T cell proliferation and IFN-g production. Additionally, we identify a previously unrecognized non-cell autonomous regulatory function of MERTK expressed on DCs. Recombinant Mer-Fc protein, used to mimic MERTK on DCs, suppresses naïve and antigen-specific memory T cell activation. This mechanism is mediated by the neutralization of the MERTK agonist Protein S (PROS1) expressed by T cells. We find that MERTK and PROS1 are expressed in human T cells upon TCR activation and drive an autocrine pro-proliferative mechanism. Collectively, these results suggest that MERTK on tol-DCs directly inhibits T cell activation through the competition for PROS1 interaction with MERTK in the T cells. Targeting MERTK may provide an interesting approach to effectively increase or suppress tolerance for the purpose of immunotherapy. The complete database comprised the expression measurements of 54,675 genes for: immature (n=9), mature (n=7) and tolerogenic (n=8). Influence of treatment with dexamethasone (n=3) and LPS (n=2) are included.

Project description:Background. Animal models of elastase intratracheal instillation have shown that elastase, unopposed by α-1 antitrypsin (AAT), can induce alveolar hemorrhage with ensuing macrophage inflammation and lung damage. Aim. To identify markers of alveolar hemorrhage and damage using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples and lung tissue explants from AAT deficient (AATD) subjects. Methods. BAL samples (17 patients, 15 controls) were evaluated for free heme and iron concentrations. Alveolar macrophage (AlvMac) activation patterns were assessed by RNA sequencing and validated in vitro using heme-stimulated monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). Lung explants (7 patients, 4 controls) were evaluated for iron sequestration patterns, by Prussian blue stain and ferritin immunohistochemistry, and for ferritin iron imaging and elemental analysis by electron microscopy (EM). Tissue oxidative damage was assessed by 8-OHdG immunohistochemistry. Results. BAL showed significantly elevated free heme and iron concentrations at lobar level. BAL macrophage RNA sequencing showed innate proinflammatory activation, consistent with free heme activation. AATD tissue alveolar and interstitial macrophages showed elevated iron and ferritin accumulation in large lysosomes packed with iron oxide cores with degraded ferritin protein cages. AATD explants showed massive oxidative DNA damage in lung epithelial cells and macrophages. Conclusions. Identification of BAL and tissue markers of alveolar hemorrhage, together with the molecular and cellular evidence of macrophage innate pro-inflammatory activation and oxidative damage, consistent with free heme stimulation, provides ex vivo evidence for the pathogenetic role of elastase-induced alveolar hemorrhage AATD emphysema as shown in animal studies.

Project description:Macrophages are a functionally heterogeneous cell population, critical for the clearance of apoptotic cells. Apoptotic cells have so far been regarded as cells with homogeneous characteristics, often neglecting their original cell lineage identity. Contrary to this, we have observed that the identities of apoptotic cells matter, since they diversify the profile of efferocytic macrophages in vitro and in mouse models of tissue damage. Apoptotic neutrophils trigger a tissue remodeling macrophage signature, while T cells and hepatocytes respectively do not change or promote a tolerogenic macrophage response. Accordingly, the in vivo transfer of macrophages fed with apoptotic neutrophils, but not the transfer of macrophages fed with other apoptotic cells, promotes tissue remodeling. Finally, using a mouse model of parasite-induced tissue pathology, we found that the presence of specific apoptotic cells while simultaneously engaging select phagocytic receptors, i.e. AXL and MERTK by apoptotic neutrophils, diversifies macrophage function. These data reveal that the identity of an apoptotic cell should not be neglected since it drives macrophage transcriptomic and functional heterogeneity.
