ABSTRACT: We analyzed the impact of amoxicillin on the transcriptional profile of bone marrow mature neutrophils from infected mice withStreptococcus pneumoniae
Project description:Pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of death worldwide, and bacterial resistance to antimicrobial drugs has become a major issue. A growing body of evidence indicates that the successful treatment of bacterial infections results from synergy between antibiotic-mediated direct antibacterial activity and the host’s immune defenses. However, the mechanisms underlying the protective immune responses induced by amoxicillin (a β-lactam antibiotic used as the first-line treatment of S. pneumoniae infections) have not been characterized. A better understanding of amoxicillin’s effects on host-pathogen interactions might facilitate the development of other treatment options. Given the crucial role of neutrophils in the control of S. pneumoniae infections, we decided to investigate amoxicillin’s impact on neutrophil development in a mouse model of pneumococcal superinfection. Although a single therapeutic dose of amoxicillin prevented local and systemic inflammatory responses, it did not impair the emergency granulopoiesis triggered in the bone marrow by S. pneumoniae. Importantly, treatment of pneumonia with amoxicillin was associated with a greater mature neutrophil count in the bone marrow; these neutrophils had specific transcriptomic and proteomic profiles. Furthermore, amoxicillin-conditioned, mature neutrophils in the bone marrow had a less activated phenotype and might be rapidly mobilized in peripheral tissues in response to systemic inflammation. Thus, by revealing a novel effect of amoxicillin on the development and functions of bone marrow neutrophils during Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia, our findings provide new insights into the impact of amoxicillin treatment on host immune responses.
Project description:The transcriptional patterns of mature normal PB neutrophils (granulocytes) was examined and used as a control against which the transcriptional programs of cultured granulocytes and granulocytic cells lines can be compared. Keywords: Peripheral blood neutrophils
Project description:This study investigates the proteomic alterations in bone marrow neutrophils isolated from 5-8 week old Gfi1+/-, Gfi1K403R/-, Gfi1R412X/-, and Gfi1R412X/R412X mice using the SWATH-MS technique. This dataset consists of 26 raw MS files, comprising 13 DDA (for spectral library generation)and 13 DIA (for SWATH) runs on a TripleTOF 5600 plus (SCIEX). Our findings revealed significant changes in the expression of neutrophil granule proteins and NADPH-oxidase complex components in Gfi1-mutant neutrophils.
Project description:Generation of organ-infiltrating neutrophils occurs in hematopoietic tissues and organs, such as bone marrow and spleen, in response to tumor- and host-derived factors. The de novo expanded neutrophils then egress from hematopoietic sites, circulate through the blood vessels and infiltrate into the organ interstitia and parenchyma. During above trafficking process, neutrophils can undergo phenotypic and functional changes in response to tissue environments. To determine the difference among neutrophils residing in the hematopoietic site—BM, circulating in the blood, and those infiltrating in the metastatic organ, the transcriptional profiles of neutrophils were analyzed by RNA sequencing. 4T1 cells were injected into the fourth mammary fat pads of female syngeneic BALB/cJ mice (8-week-old, n = 3). At day 10 (pre-metastatic stage), the mice were euthanized and then CD45+CD11b+Ly6G<high>Ly6C<med> neutrophils from bone marrow (BM), peripheral blood (PB) and lung were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Total RNA was isolated from neutrophils using the miRNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen) and the transcriptional profiles of neutrophils were analyzed by RNA sequencing
Project description:The aim of this study was to characterize in vivo miRNA expression in normal myeloid development of the neutrophil granulocyte (granulopoiesis) to gain insight into miRNA control of these processes. Cell populations highly enriched in precursors from successive stages of granulopoiesis and mature neutrophils were isolated from bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) samples, respectively, from 4 healthy human donors. Total RNA was extracted from each cell population and subjected to miRNA gene expression profiling using miRCURYTM LNA microRNA Arrays Total RNA from cell populations highly enriched in precursors from three succesive stages of neutrophil granulopoiesis and mature neutrophils isolated from bone marrow and peripheral blood, respectively, from four healthy donors (SKP, AJ, AO, JO). The three cell populations from bone marrow where extracted and named B3, B2, and B1, corresponding to immature (myeloblasts [MBs] and promyelocytes [PMs]); intermediate mature (myelocytes [MCs] and metamyelocytes [MMs]); and mature neutrophil cells (band cells [BCs] and segmented neutrophil cells [SCs]), respectively, as described in Bjerregaard MD, Jurlander J, Klausen P, Borregaard N, Cowland JB: The in vivo profile of transcription factors during neutrophil differentiation in human bone marrow. Blood 2003, 101: 4322-4332. In total, 16 samples were compared (4 cell maturation stages from 4 donors)

Project description:Gene expression profiling of progenitor and neutrophil-derived HoxB8-ER cells (WT and Ezh2-/-) and neutrophil-derived HOXB8-ER treated with GSK343 and vehicle for 9 days. Ezh2 loss might lead to effective cytopenias caused by dysfunctional mature cells. To test this hypothesis, we examined Ezh2-null murine myeloid cell lines capable of neutrophilic differentiation. Bone marrow cells from Ezh2-/- and controls were immortalized with a HoxB8-estrogen receptor fusion and could be differentiated into mature neutrophils by removing estrogen from the culture medium.Gene expression profiling showed upregulation of oxidative phosphorylation pathway genes and ectopic expression of Gata1 and its associated erythroid gene targets. Functional and gene expression differences observed in Ezh2-/- derived neutrophils could be replicated in controls by treatment with the Ezh2-specific inhibitor GSK343. In conclusion, we demonstrate that Ezh2 loss allows for differentiation of normal appearing, but dysfunctional mature neutrophils characterized by ectopic gene expression and elevated levels of reactive oxygen species. These defects could contribute to the inflammatory bone marrow microenvironment and clinical phenotypes observed in patients with MDS.
