Inhibition of EZH2 causes retrotransposon derepression and immune activation in porcine lung alveolar macrophages [polyA-enriched RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Alveolar macrophages (AMs) form the first defense line against a variety of respiratory pathogens, and their immune response has profound impact on the outcome of respiratory infection. It is of critical importance to clarify the immune regulation in AMs. Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2), which catalyzes the trimethylation of H3K27 for epigenetic repression, has gained increasing attentions about their roles in immune regulation. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the immune regulation role of EZH2 in AMs remains largely unclear. Using porcine 3D4/21 alveolar macrophage cells as model, this study combined transcriptomic and epigenomic techniques to decipher the molecular function of EZH2 in AMs. Transcriptomic comparison revealed that inhibition of EZH2 in AMs causes transcriptional activation of dozens of immune genes which indicates an enhanced antiviral state, and as expected, we found that the infection of influenza A viruses can be remarkably affected. Interestingly, about one hundred families of transposable elements, particularly LTRs/ERVs and LINEs which belong to retrotransposons, get derepressed after EZH2 inhibition. Given that derepression of ERVs promotes innate immune activation in many tumors through the “viral mimicry” mechanism, the derepression of retrotransposon in AMs may also contribute to the coincided immune activation after EZH2 inhibition. Overall, this study improves the mechanistical understanding on the EZH2-dependent immune regulation in AMs and provides novel insights for the epigenetic regulation of retrotransposons in pigs.

Inhibition of EZH2 causes retrotransposon derepression and immune activation in porcine lung alveolar macrophages [ChIP-seq]

SARS-CoV-2 Evades immune detection in Alveolar Macrophages

Project description:Respiratory infections, like the current pandemic SARS-CoV-2 virus, target the epithelial cells in the respiratory tract. However, alveolar macrophages (AMs) are tissue-resident macrophages located within the alveoli of the lung and they play a key role in the early phases of an immune response to respiratory infections. We expect that AMs are the first immune cells to encounter the SARS-CoV-2 and therefore their reaction to SARS-CoV-2 infection will have a profound impact upon the outcome of the infection. Interferons (IFNs) are antiviral cytokines and the first cytokine produced upon viral infection. Here, we challenge AMs with SARS-CoV-2 and to our surprise find that the AMs are incapable of recognising SARS-CoV-2 and produce IFN. This is in contrast to respiratory pathogens, such as influenza A virus and Sendai virus. Callenge of AMs with those viruses resulted in a robust IFN response. The absence of IFN production by AMs upon challenge could explain the initial asymptotic phase of SARS-CoV-2 infections and argues against the AMs as the source of proinflamatory cytokines later in infection.

ADSC-Exos can improve acute lung injury by regulating alveolar macrophage polarization through IRF7/NLRP3

Project description:Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are crucial for pulmonary defense and immune regulation. Exosomes from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC-Exos) have emerged as a promising therapy for inflammatory lung diseases by modulating immune responses. This study investigates the ability of ADSC-Exos to alleviate inflammation in acute lunag injury (ALI), a condition often triggered by sepsis and characterized by lung permeability and respiratory failure.

TRIM28 silences endogenous retroviruses in neural progenitor cells

Project description:Here we show that in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) TRIM28 silences transcription of two groups of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs): IAP1 and MMERVK10C. Derepression of ERVs in Trim28-deficient NPCs was associated with a loss of H3K9me3 and resulted in transcriptional upregulation and reverse transcription. These findings demonstrate a unique dynamic transcriptional regulation of ERVs in NPCs. Analysis of upregulation of ERVs in Trim28-deficient NPCs

TGFβ primes alveolar-like macrophages to induce type I IFN following TLR2 activation.

Project description:Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are key mediators of lung function and are potential targets for therapies during respiratory infections. TGFb is an important regulator of AM differentiation and maintenance but, how TGFb directly modulates the innate immune responses of AMs remains unclear. This shortcoming prevents effective targeting of AMs to improve lung function in health and disease. Here we leveraged an optimized ex vivo AM model system, fetal-liver derived alveolar-like macrophages (FLAMs), to dissect the role of TGFb in AMs. Using transcriptional analysis, we first globally defined how TGFb regulates gene expression of resting FLAMs. We found that TGFb maintains the baseline metabolic state of AMs by driving lipid metabolism through oxidative phosphorylation and restricting inflammation. To better understand inflammatory regulation in FLAMs, we next directly tested how TGFb alters the response to TLR2 agonists. While both TGFb (+) and TGFb (-) FLAMs robustly responded to TLR2 agonists, we found an unexpected activation of type I interferon (IFN) responses in FLAMs and primary AMs in a TGFb-dependent manner. Surprisingly, mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein and the interferon regulator factors 3 and 7 were required for IFN production by TLR2 agonists. Together, these data suggest that TGFb modulates AM metabolic networks and innate immune signaling cascades to control inflammatory pathways in AMs.

Influenza-trained mucosal-resident alveolar macrophages confer long-term antitumor immunity in the lungs [RNA-seq]

Project description:Respiratory viral infections reprogram pulmonary macrophages with altered anti-infectious functions. However, the potential function of virus-trained macrophages in antitumor immunity in the lung, a preferential target of both primary and metastatic malignancies, is not well understood. Using mouse models of influenza and lung metastatic tumors, we show here that influenza trains respiratory mucosal-resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) to exert long-lasting and tissue-specific antitumor immunity. Trained AMs infiltrate tumor lesions and have enhanced phagocytic and tumor cell cytotoxic functions, which are associated with epigenetic, transcriptional and metabolic resistance to tumor-induced immune suppression. Generation of antitumor trained immunity in AMs is dependent on interferon-γ and natural killer cells. Notably, human AMs with trained immunity traits in non-small cell lung cancer tissue are associated with a favorable immune microenvironment. These data reveal a function for trained resident macrophages in pulmonary mucosal antitumor immune surveillance. Induction of trained immunity in tissue-resident macrophages might thereby be a potential antitumor strategy.
