Project description:Objective. To identify novel monosodium urate (MSU) crystal-induced mRNAs by transcript profiling of isolated murine air pouch membranes. Methods. Nine hours after injecting crystals into air pouches, membranes were meticulously dissected away from the adjacent soft tissues. mRNA expression differences between inflamed and control membranes were determined by oligonucleotide microarray analysis. Induction of selected mRNAs was validated by real-time relative quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qPCR) in pouch membranes and murine peritoneal macrophages. Results. Eleven of the 12 most highly upregulated mRNAs related to innate immunity and inflammation. They included mRNAs encoding histidine decarboxylase (the enzyme that synthesizes histamine), interleukin (IL)-6, the cell surface receptors PUMA-g and TREM-1, and the polypeptides Irg1 and PROK-2. MSU crystals induced dramatic rises in these mRNAs in the pouch membrane within 3-8 hours after the surge in pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-6, IL-1beta and TNFalpha) and immediate early gene (Egr-1) transcription, which occurred 1h after crystal injection. MSU crystals induced these mRNAs in cultured macrophages with similar kinetics but lower fold changes. In keeping with their downregulation by MSU crystals according to the microarrays, qPCR confirmed that TREM-2 and granzyme D mRNAs decreased 79% and 94%, respectively, in MSU crystal inflamed membranes. Conclusions. This analysis disclosed several genes previously not implicated in MSU crystal inflammation. Their rise after the early surge in cytokine mRNAs suggests that they may, for instance, amplify or perpetuate inflammation. Transcript profiling of the isolated air pouch membrane promises to be a powerful tool to identify genes acting at different stages of inflammation.

Project description:Gouty Arthritis (GA) is caused by urate deposition in the joint capsule, cartilage, bone, and surrounding tissues to trigger recurrent attacks of acute joint inflammation. However, the clearance mechanism of urate deposition is still not clear. We aimed to investigate whether lymphatics vessels can drain monosodium and involve in the immune process of GA. Methods: Inguinal lymph nodes (LNs) in 4 normal volunteers and 4 patients with acute flare of GA were examined by ultrasound. Acute and chronic GA flare mouse models were established by intra-footpad administrations of monosodium urate (MSU) for 1 week or 1 month. Mice were treated with VEGFR-3 inhibitor or undergone popliteal lymph node (PLN) excision or PLN macrophage depletion. The severity of foot inflammation, lymphatic draining function, concentration of uric acid (UA), and macrophage population were examined. Macrophages were co-cultured with MSU-treated lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and differential gene expression of LECs was assessed by Agilent gene expression microarray. Results: 1) Draining LNs were enlarged in patients with GA flare and GA mouse models. 2) The lymphatic function and structure were abnormal in GA mouse models. 3) Acute GA mice had elevated UA levels in draining LNs, but not in the serum, while chronic GA mice had elevated UA levels in both LNs and serum. 4) Blockade of VEGFR-3 reduced foot inflammation in chronic GA mice. 5) MSU induces pro-inflammatory polarization of macrophages by inducing LEC inflammation. 6) PLN local depletion of macrophages or removal of PLNs alleviated foot inflammation in GA. Conclusions: Lymphatics drain MSU to the draining LNs to clear deposited urate in the distal extremity and induce LECs to stimulate macrophage pro-inflammatory response during GA. We have identified a novel mechanism about MSU clearance and pro-inflammatory macrophage activation, and provided possible therapeutic approach for GA.

Project description:Protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) and small GTPases of the Rho and ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) family are implicated in the regulation of phospholipase D1 (PLD1) activity. Although they are involved in fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-mediated PLD activation, their role in monosodium urate (MSU)-stimulated PLD1 activity in human neutrophils is not clear. The translocation of PKCalpha, RhoA and Arf from the cytosol to the membranes was monitored. fMLP induced a cytochalasin B (CB)-dependent recruitment of Arf, RhoA and PKCalpha to neutrophil membranes. CB also increased the activation of PLD 10-fold. In contrast with fMLP, MSU stimulated a sustained and time-dependent relocalization of Arf and PKCalpha, but not of RhoA, to the membrane fraction. MSU-stimulated PLD was activated with a time course preceding membrane recruitment of Arf and PKCalpha in the absence of CB. Furthermore, MSU-induced PLD activation and the membrane recruitment of PKCalpha, but not that of Arf, were inhibited by CB. An anti-FcgammaRIIIB antibody, VIFcRIII, prevented the membrane relocalization of Arf and PKCalpha and the stimulation of the levels of tyrosine phosphorylation and of PLD activity induced by MSU. Erbstatin and ST-638, two inhibitors of tyrosine kinases, inhibited the MSU-induced translocation of Arf and PKCalpha but not MSU-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and PLD activation. Furthermore MSU crystals did not cause the tyrosine phosphorylation of PLD1. The present study indicates that soluble and particulate agonists show selectivity in inducing the translocation of RhoA in neutrophils and that the ability of MSU to increase PLD activation was independent of the membrane relocalization of Arf and PKCalpha.

Project description:Immune responses are crucial to maintaining tissue homeostasis upon tissue injury. Upon various types of challenges, macrophages play a central role in regulating inflammation and tissue repair processes. While an immunomodulatory role of Wnt antagonist Dickkopf1 (DKK1) has been implicated, the role of Wnt antagonist DKK1 in regulating macrophage polarization in inflammation and the tissue repair process remains elusive. Here we found that DKK1 induces differential gene expression profiles from type 2-cytokine-activated macrophages to promote inflammation and tissue repair. Importantly, DKK1 induced pro-inflammatory and pro-resolving gene expressions via JNK (c-jun N-terminal kinase) in macrophages. Furthermore, DKK1 potentiated IL-13-mediated macrophage polarization and activation. Co-inhibition of JNK and STAT6 markedly decreased pro-inflammatory and pro-resolving gene expressions by DKK1 and IL-13. Interestingly, thrombocyte-specific deletion of DKK1 in mice reduced monocyte-derived macrophages in the acute sterile bleomycin (BLM)-induced lung injury model, suggesting that thrombocytes communicate with macrophages via DKK1 to orchestrate inflammation-induced injury repair process. Taken together, our study demonstrates DKK1’s role as a key regulatory role in macrophage polarization in the injury-induced inflammation and repair process.

Project description:We have investigated the contributing role of monosodium urate (MSU) to the pathological processes associated with the induction of diabetic retinopathy (DR). In human postmortem retinas and vitreous from donors with DR, we have found a significant increase in MSU levels that correlated with the presence of inflammatory markers and enhanced expression of xanthine oxidase. The same elevation in MSU levels was also detected in serum and vitreous of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (STZ-rats) analyzed at 8 weeks of hyperglycemia. Furthermore, treatments of STZ-rats with the hypouricemic drugs allopurinol (50 mg/kg) and benzbromarone (10 mg/kg) given every other day resulted in a significant decrease of retinal and plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines and adhesion factors, a marked reduction of hyperglycemia-induced retinal leukostasis, and restoration of retinal blood-barrier function. These results were associated with effects of the hypouricemic drugs on downregulating diabetes-induced levels of oxidative stress markers as well as expression of components of the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome such as NLRP3, Toll-like receptor 4, and interleukin-1β. The outcomes of these studies support a contributing role of MSU in diabetes-induced retinal inflammation and suggest that asymptomatic hyperuricemia should be considered as a risk factor for DR induction and progression.

Project description:We used I-BET 151, an isoxazoloquinoline that specifically inhibits interaction of BET proteins with acetylated histones to restrict inflammatory tissue priming in a mouse model of iterated monosodium urate (MSU) crystal-induced arthritis. Systemic administration of I-BET 151 abolished the enhancement of arthritis upon repeated injection of MSU crystals.
