Tonic TNF conditioning of macrophages safeguards stimulus-specific inflammatory responses

ABSTRACT: TNF is a key inflammatory cytokine that warns recipient cells of a nearby infection or tissue damage. Acute exposure to TNF activates characteristic oscillatory dynamics of the transcription factor NFκB and induces a characteristic gene expression program; these are distinct from the responses of cells directly exposed to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Here we report that tonic TNF exposure is critical for safeguarding TNF’s specific functions. In the absence of tonic TNF conditioning, acute exposure to TNF causes 1) NFκB signaling dynamics that are less oscillatory and more like PAMP-responsive NFκB dynamics, 2) immune gene expression that is more similar to the Pam3CSK4-response program, 3) broader epigenomic reprogramming that is characteristic of PAMP-responsive changes. We show that tonic TNF signaling effects subtle changes to TNF receptor availability and dynamics such that enhanced pathway activity results in non-oscillatory NFκB. Our results reveal tonic TNF signaling as a key tissue determinant of the specific characteristics of cellular responses to acute paracrine TNF exposure, and their distinction from responses to direct exposure to PAMPs.

Project description:gd T cells recognize unprocessed or non-peptide antigens, respond rapidly to infection, and localize to mucosal surfaces. We have hypothesized that the innate functions of gd T cells may be more similar to those of cells of the myeloid lineage than to other T cells. To begin to test this assumption, we have analyzed the direct response of cultured human and peripheral blood bovine gd T cells to pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in the absence of APCs using microarray, real time RT-PCR, proteome array, and chemotaxis assays. Our results indicate that purified gd T cells respond directly to PAMPs by increasing expression of chemokine and activation related genes. The response was distinct from that to known gd T cell antigens and different from the response of myeloid cells to PAMPs. In addition, we have analyzed the expression of a variety of PAMP receptors in gd T cells. Freshly purified bovine gd T cells responded more robustly to PAMPs than did cultured human cells and expressed measurable mRNA encoding a variety of PAMP receptors. Our results suggest that rapid response to PAMPs through the expression of PAMP receptors may be another innate role of gd T cells. Experiment Overall Design: Sorted cells from 4 human gd T cell cultures were treated with either PBS or phLPS for 4 hours, RNA was extracted with TRIzolÂ® Reagent (Invitrogen Life Technologies) according to the manufacturerâs instructions, pooled and used to probe Affymetrix GenechipÂ® Human Genome U133A 2.0 Arrays (Cat. # 900471 Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) that represent 14,500 human genes. cDNA amplification and synthesis of biotin-labeled cRNA was performed with the Alternative One-cycle target labeling protocol with 10 micrograms total RNA as described in the GeneChipÂ® Expression Analysis Technical Manual (March 2004). Hybridization was performed with 10 micrograms biotin labeled cRNA. Washing and staining was performed in the GeneChipÂ® Fluidics Station 450 using the Midi_euk2v3 protocol. Chip scans were performed on the Affymetrix GeneChipÂ® Scanner 3000. GeneChipÂ® Operating Software (GCOS v.1.1, Affymetrix) was used for data collection.
