Differenatiation of mRNA expression in PTX3-depleted macrophages

ABSTRACT: PTX3, as the long member of the pentraxin family, is produced mainly by dendritic cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells in response to inflammation. Growing amount of studies suggest that PTX3 can exert potential contradictory roles in inflammation regulation, antimicrobial resistance, and disease pathogenesis, depending on the tissue context, cellular source, and levels of production. To characterize the potential involvement of PTX3 in macrophage function, transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed in human THP1-derived macrophages with PTX3 depletion. Notably,genes enrichment in PI3K/AKT signaling , JAK/STAT signaling and autophagy pathway were observed in PTX3 deficiency macrophages. This study highlights the critical roles of PTX3 on regulation macrophages homeostasis.

The effects of silencing PTX3 oin the proteome of human endothelial cells

Project description:The human long pentraxin PTX3 has complex regulatory roles at the crossroad of innate immunity, inflammation, and tissue repair. PTX3 can be produced by various cell types, including vascular endothelial cells (ECs), in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines or bacterial molecules. But PTX3 has also been involved in the regulation of cardiovascular biology, even if contrasting results have been so far provided in both preclinical and clinical research. Therefore, we compared the proteomic profiles of human ECs isolated from umbilical cords (Human Umbilical Vein ECs, HUVECs), and we identified 19 proteins more abundant in the proteome of control ECs and 23 proteins more expressed in PTX3 silenced cells.

Gene expression profiling of TNBC cells engineered to knock-down or overexpress PTX3

Project description:The pattern recognition receptor long pentraxin-3 (PTX3) plays conflicting roles in cancer by acting as an oncosuppressor or as a pro-tumor mediator depending on tumor context. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents the most aggressive histotype of breast cancer, characterized by the lack of efficacious therapeutic targets/approaches and poor prognosis. In this study, in silico data and experimental evidences indicate that PTX3 is produced by tumor parenchyma in TNBC and that its expression levels correlate with tumor stage. On this basis, the impact of PTX3 silencing or its overexpression on the tumorigenic potential of TNBC cell lines was analyzed. Gene expression and in vitro results demonstrate that high levels of PTX3 expression confer a high aggressive/proliferative phenotype, fosters stem-like features, and rewires the energy metabolism in TNBC cells. This results in a more tumorigenic potential in vivo when TNBC cells are grafted in immune-compromised and syngeneic animals. Mechanistically, our data reveal a strong positive correlation between PTX3 expression and the antitumor activity of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibition in TBNC, demonstrating for the first time that PTX3-driven TNBC aggressiveness is due to PTX3-mediated activation of TLR4 signaling. Altogether, these data shed light on the role of tumor-produced PTX3 in TNBC and uncover the importance of the PTX3/TLR4 pathway for therapeutic and prognostic exploitation in TNBC.

PTX3 structure determination using a hybrid cryo-electron microscopy and AlphaFold approach offers insights into ligand binding and complement activation

Project description:Pattern recognition molecules (PRMs) form an important part of innate immunity and respond to infection and damage via triggering processes such as inflammation. The pentraxin family of soluble PRMs comprises long and short pentraxins, with the former containing unique N-terminal regions unrelated to other proteins or each other. No high-resolution structural information exists about long pentraxins, unlike the short pentraxins where there is an abundance of both X-ray and cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) derived structures. This study presents for the first time a high-resolution structure of the prototypical long pentraxin, PTX3. CryoEM yielded a 2.5 Å map of the C-terminal pentraxin domains that revealed a radically different quaternary structure compared to other pentraxins, comprising a glycosylated D4 symmetrical octameric complex stabilised by an extensive disulfide network. The cryoEM map indicated α-helices that extended N-terminal of the pentraxin domains that were not fully resolved. AlphaFold was used to predict the remaining N-terminal structure of the octameric PTX3 complex, revealing two long tetrameric coiled coils with two hinge regions, which was validated using classification of cryoEM 2D averages. The resulting hybrid cryoEM/AlphaFold structure allowed mapping of ligand binding sites, such as C1q and FGF2, as well as rationalisation of previous biochemical data. Given the relevance of PTX3 in conditions ranging from COVID-19 prognosis, cancer progression and female infertility, this structure could be used to inform the understanding and rational design of therapies for these disorders and processes.

Macrophage expression and prognostic significance of the long pentraxin PTX3 in COVID-19

Project description:PTX3 is an essential component of humoral innate immunity, involved in resistance to selected pathogens and in the regulation of inflammation1-3. The present study was designed to assess the presence and significance of PTX3 in COVID-194-7. RNA-seq analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, single-cell bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemistry of lung autopsy samples revealed that myelomonocytic cells and endothelial cells express high levels of PTX3 in COVID-19 patients. Increased plasma concentrations of PTX3 were detected in 96 COVID-19 patients. PTX3 emerged as a strong independent predictor of 28-day mortality in multivariable analysis, better than conventional markers of inflammation, in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The prognostic significance of PTX3 abundance for mortality was confirmed in a second independent cohort (54 patients). Thus, circulating and lung myelomonocytic cells and endothelial cells are a major source of PTX3, and PTX3 plasma concentration can serve as an independent strong prognostic indicator of short-term mortality in COVID-19.

Crosstalk between pentraxin-3 and humoral pattern-recognition receptors plays an essential role in immunomodulation against Aspergillus fumigatus

Project description:The study investigated the interaction between pentraxin-3 (PTX3), a soluble pattern-recognition receptor, and the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. The aim was to identify the ligands for PTX3 and the impact of PTX3 on the immune response. A. fumigatus spores, hyphae or cell wall components were incubated with PTX3, human serum and others humoral factors and their interaction was studied by immunofluorescence, flow cytometry and ELISA. Opsonizd conidia were co-incubated with human monocyte-derived macrophages (hMDM) and cytokine secretion was measured.

Differenatiation of mRNA expression in METTL3-depleted macrophages

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most prevalent internal messenger RNA modification, plays critical roles in diverse biological processes. To characterize the potential involvement of METTL3 in macrophage function, transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed in human THP1-derived macrophages with METTL3 depletion. We identified 266 genes that were differentially expressed in METTL3-depleted macrophages (≥ 1.5-fold change, P < 0.05), among which 44% (118 genes) were downregulated and 56% (148 genes) were upregulated. Notably, M2 macrophages activation-associated genes were robustly enhanced in METTL3-depleted macrophages. This study highlights the critical roles of m6A on regulation macrophages homeostasis.

Transcriptional profiling of THP1-derived human macrophages with different stimuli

Project description:Macrophages are key cell types of the innate immune system regulating host defense, inflammation, tissue homeostasis and cancer. Within this functional spectrum diverse and often opposing phenotypes are displayed which are dictated by environmental clues and depend on highly plastic transcriptional programs. Among these the ‘classical’ (M1) and ‘alternative’ (M2) macrophage polarization phenotypes are the best characterized. Understanding macrophage polarization in humans may reveal novel therapeutic intervention possibilities for chronic inflammation, wound healing and cancer. Systematic loss of function screening in human primary macrophages is limited due to lack of robust gene delivery methods and limited sample availability. To overcome these hurdles we developed cell-autonomous assays using the THP-1 cell line allowing genetic screens for human macrophage phenotypes. To confirm the relevance of the THP1-based system we performed microarray studies on THP1 cells and primary human cells subjected to various conditions. THP1 cells were treated with PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) to derive macrophages which were then cultured 1, 3 or 6 days with different stimuli.
