Impaired efferocytosis enables apoptotic osteoblasts to escape osteoimmune surveillance during aging (mRNA)

ABSTRACT: Macrophages efferocytosis of apoptotic osteoblasts (apoOBs) is a key osteoimmune process for bone homeostasis that is highly regulated in osteoimmune surveillance. However, apoOBs accumulate in aged bone marrow, where they might mount proinflammatory responses and progressive bone loss. Why apoOBs were not cleared during aging remains unknown. Here, we show that apoOBs upregulate immune checkpoint molecule CD47 with age to evade macrophages clearance. Using osteoblast- and myeloid-specific gene knockout mice, we identify histone deacetylase SIRT6 as an essential regulator of the CD47–SIRPα checkpoint. Further, apoOBs that require SIRT6-mediated chemotaxis signals can recruit macrophages by releasing apoptotic extracellular vesicles. Therapeutically, we develop two targeting delivery strategies to enhance SIRT6 activity, showing increased apoOBs clearance and delayed age-related bone loss. Collectively, our data revealed a previously unknown linkage between immune surveillance and bone homeostasis and targeting the mechanism of SIRT6-regulated apoOBs clearance could be a promising therapeutic strategy for age-related bone diseases.

Engineered CD47 protects T cells for enhanced antitumor immunity

Project description:Adoptively transferred T cells and agents designed to block the CD47/SIRPalpha axis are promising cancer therapeutics that activate distinct arms of the immune system. We administered anti-CD47 with adoptively transferred T cells with the goal of enhancing antitumor efficacy but observed rapid macrophage-mediated clearance of T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) or engineered T cell receptors, which abrogated therapeutic benefit. anti-CD47 mediated CAR T clearance was potent and rapid enough to serve as an effective safety switch. To overcome this challenge, we engineered a CD47 variant (47E) that engaged SIRPalpha and provided a “don’t-eat-me” signal that was not blocked by anti-CD47 antibodies. TCR or CAR T cells expressing 47E were resistant to clearance by macrophages following anti-CD47, and mediated significant, sustained macrophage recruitment into the TME. Although many of the recruited macrophages manifested an M2-like profile, the combined therapy synergistically enhanced antitumor efficacy. This work identifies macrophages as major regulators of T cell persistence and illustrates the fundamental challenge of combining T cell directed therapeutics with those designed to activate macrophages. It further delivers a therapeutic approach capable of simultaneously harnessing the antitumor effects of T cells and macrophages that manifests enhanced potency against solid tumors.

Pro-efferocytic nanotherapies reduce vascular inflammation without inducing anemia in a large animal model of atherosclerosis

Project description:Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disorder responsible for cardiovascular disease. Reactivation of efferocytosis, the phagocytic removal of cells by macrophages, has emerged as a translational target for atherosclerosis. Systemic blockade of the key ‘don’t-eat-me’ molecule, CD47, triggers the engulfment of apoptotic vascular tissue and potently reduces plaque burden. However, it also induces red blood cell clearance, leading to anemia. To overcome this, we previously developed a macrophage-specific nanotherapy loaded with a chemical inhibitor that promotes efferocytosis. Because it was found to be safe and effective in murine studies, we aimed to advance our nanoparticle into a porcine model of atherosclerosis. Here, we demonstrate that production can be scaled without impairing nanoparticle function. At an early stage of disease, we find our nanotherapy reduces apoptotic cell accumulation and inflammation in the atherosclerotic lesion. Notably, this therapy does not induce anemia, highlighting the translational potential of targeted macrophage checkpoint inhibitors.

Macrophages induce inflammation by efferocytosis of apoptotic prostate cancer cells via HIF-1α stabilization

Project description:Clearance of apoptotic cancer cells by macrophages, known as efferocytosis, fuels the bone-metastatic growth of prostate cancer cells via pro-inflammatory and immunosuppressive mechanisms that are still unclear. In this study, single-cell transcriptomics of bone marrow macrophages undergoing efferocytosis of apoptotic prostate cancer cells revealed a significant enrichment of a cellular response to hypoxia. Here we show that efferocytic macrophages promote HIF-1α stabilization under normoxic conditions through interaction with phosphorylated STAT3. Inflammatory cytokine gene expression analysis of efferocytic HIF-1α-mutant macrophages revealed a reduced expression of the pro-tumorigenic Mif. Furthermore, stabilization of HIF-1α using the HIF-prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitor, Roxadustat, enhanced MIF expression in macrophages. Finally, macrophages treated with recombinant MIF protein activated NF-κB (p65) signaling increased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Altogether, these findings suggest that the clearance of apoptotic cancer cell by tumor-associated macrophages triggers p-STAT3/HIF-1α/MIF signaling to enhance tumor-promoting inflammation in bone, suggesting this axis as a target for metastatic prostate cancer.

CD47-SIRPα axis blockade in NASH promotes necroptotic hepatocyte clearance by liver macrophages and decreases hepatic fibrosis

Project description:Necroptosis contributes to hepatocyte death (HC) in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), but the fate and roles of necroptotic hepatocytes (necHCs) in NASH remain unknown. We show here that the accumulation of necHCs is associated with worsening NASH in humans and in mice with diet-induced NASH and that NASH liver showed evidence of impaired necHC clearance by liver macrophages. Further, the "don't-eat-me" ligand CD47 on HCs and its receptor, SIRPα, on liver macrophages, were markedly upregulated in human and mouse NASH. In vitro, anti-CD47 or anti-SIRPα promoted necHC engulfment by primary liver macrophages. In a proof-of-concept mouse model of inducible HC necroptosis, anti-CD47 increased necHC uptake by liver macrophages and inhibited hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation, which is responsible for liver fibrogenesis. Most importantly, treatment of two mouse models of diet-induced NASH with anti-CD47 or anti-SIRPα increased the uptake of necHC by liver macrophages and decreased HSC activation and liver fibrosis. These findings provide evidence that impaired clearance of necHCs by liver macrophages due to CD47-SIRPα upregulation contributes to fibrotic NASH and suggest therapeutic blockade of the CD47-SIRPα axis as a strategy to decrease the accumulation of necHCs in NASH liver and dampen the progression of hepatic fibrosis.

Transcriptomics of isolated alveolar macrophages from WT and CD47 deficient mice upon influenza A virus infection

Project description:CD47 is an ubiquitously expressed surface molecule that has a significant impact on immune responses. However, its role for antiviral immunity is not fully understood. We can show that CD47 has an inhibitory role in influenza virus defense, since CD47-deficient mice (CD47-/-) display an increased viral clearance during influenza virus infection. This effect is strongly associated with alveolar macrophages, yet the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Thus, to assess the precise impact of CD47 on antiviral action of alveolar macrophages, transcriptional analysis of ex vivo isolated alveolar macrophages from CD47-/- and WT mice were performed isolated 3dpi. Surprisingly, instead of classical antiviral mediators, an increased expression of both hemoglobin α and hemoglobin β was found in CD47 deficient compared to WT alveolar macrophages upon influenza A virus infection. Importantly, antiviral activity of hemoglobin was already shown for other viruses and thus, CD47 might limit influenza virus defense via the regulation of hemoglobin, which could act as a modulator of the antiviral immune response during the infection.

Single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics reveal the osteoimmune microenvironment of biomaterial-mediated bone regeneration [scRNA-seq]

Project description:The bone-defect-repair process involves complex interaction between mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and immune cells, while the heterogeneity of osteoimmune microenvironment around implanted biomaterials remains elusive. By combining analysis of scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics technologies, we revealed that MgphiMSCs subpopulation served as the pioneers during the early stage of biomaterials-mediated bone defect healing process. They performed efficient osteogenic differentiation potential and had close interactions with immune cells. Remarkably, the MgphiMSCs could response to biomaterials-mediated osteoimmune microenvironment, rewired the polarization and osteoclastic differentiation of macrophages via midkine (MDK) signaling pathway. The inhibition of MDK activated the pro-inflammatory programs of macrophages and osteoclastogenesis. Meanwhile, multiple innate and adaptive immune-cell subsets exhibited close crosstalk between MgphiMSCs via SPP1 signaling pathway. These cellular profiles and interactions characterized in this study could broaden our understanding of the functional MSCs subpopulations at the early stage of biomaterial-mediated bone regeneration and provide the basis for the materials-designed strategies that target osteoimmune modulation.
