Project description:Macrophage population in most mammalian organs consists of cells of different origin, with the exception of the central nervous system and the liver, where macrophages of monocytic origin are almost completely absent. The reasons for such distribution and the phenomenon of coexistence of the two separate macrophage lineages with different origin in mammals remain poorly understood. In present study we compared Kupffer cells and monocytes by the immunophenotype, gene expression profile, proteome and pool of mircoRNA. Observed differences do not allow to consider the resident liver macrophages as purely M2 macrophages or monocytes have purely M1 features. Two populations of macrophages of monocytic origin and resident macrophages have fundamentally different roles in maintaining homeostasis. Monocytic macrophages are involved in the regulation of inflammation, and resident macrophages are involved in the regulation of specific organ functions (nitrogen metabolism, complement system protein synthesis). However, if other indicators would be considered as markers of macrophage activity, it is worth noting that Kupffer cells possess some features of M2 macrophages. This is indicated by their expression profile of let-7b/c/d/e miRNAs, a high content of proteins associated with oxidative phosphorylation, as well as an increased level of synthesis of Arg1, IL10.

Project description:Tissue resident macrophages are functionally diverse cells that share an embryonic mesodermal origin. However, the mechanism(s) that control their specification remain unclear. We performed transcriptional, molecular and in situ spatio-temporal analyses of macrophage development in mice. We report that Erythro-Myeloid Progenitors generate pre-macrophages (pMacs) that simultaneously colonize the head and caudal embryo from embryonic day (E)9.5 in a chemokine-receptor dependent manner, to further differentiate into tissue F4/80+ macrophages. The core macrophage transcriptional program initiated in pMacs, is rapidly diversified in early macrophages as expression of transcriptional regulators becomes tissue-specific. For example, the preferential expression of the transcriptional regulator Id3 initiated in early fetal liver macrophages appears critical for Kupffer cell differentiation, as inactivation of Id3 causes a selective Kupffer cell deficiency that persists in adults. We propose that colonization of developing tissues by differentiating macrophages is immediately followed by their specification as they establish residence, hereby generating the macrophage diversity observed in post-natal tissues.

Project description:Tissue environment plays a powerful role in establishing and maintaining the distinct phenotypes of resident macrophages, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we characterized transcriptomic and epigenetic changes in repopulating liver macrophages following acute Kupffer cell depletion as a means to infer signaling pathways and transcription factors that promote Kupffer cell differentiation. We obtain evidence that combinatorial interactions of the Notch ligand DLL4 and transforming growth factor-b (TGF-β) family ligands produced by sinusoidal endothelial cells and endogenous LXR ligands were required for the induction and maintenance of Kupffer cell identity. DLL4 regulation of the Notch transcriptional effector RBPJ activated poised enhancers to rapidly induce LXRα and other Kupffer cell lineage-determining factors. These factors in turn reprogrammed the repopulating liver macrophage enhancer landscape to converge on that of the original resident Kupffer cells. Collectively, these findings provide a framework for understanding how macrophage progenitor cells acquire tissue-specific phenotypes.

Here, we characterized transcriptomic and epigenetic changes in repopulating liver macrophages following acute Kupffer cell depletion as a means to infer signaling pathways and transcription factors that promote Kupffer cell differentiation. We obtain evidence that combinatorial interactions of the Notch ligand DLL4 and transforming growth factor-b (TGF-?) family ligands produced by sinusoidal endothelial cells and endogenous LXR ligands were required for the induction and maintenance of Kupffer cell identity. DLL4 regulation of the Notch transcriptional effector RBPJ activated poised enhancers to rapidly induce LXR? and other Kupffer cell lineage-determining factors.

Project description:The role of different cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is critical to the metastatic process. Phenotypic transformation of the liver cells is one of the most important stages of hepatic metastasis progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Our aim was to identify the major molecules (i.e. genes, miRNAs and proteins) involved in this process. We isolated and performed whole genome analysis of gene, miRNA and proteins expression in three types of liver cells (Ito cells, Kupffer cells and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells) from the TME of a murine model of CRC liver metastasis. We selected the statistically significant differentially expressed molecules using the Student's t-test with Benjamini-Hochberg correction. and performed functional statistically-significant enrichment analysis of differentially expressed molecules with hypergeometric distribution using the curated collection of molecular signatures, MSigDB. To build a gene-miRNA-protein networks centered in Brca1, we developed software that collects miRNA targets from the union of the TargetScan, MicroCosm, mirTarBase and miRWalk databases. This was used to select miRNAs targeting Brca1. We validated the most relevant miRNAs with real-time quantitative PCR. To investigate BRCA1 protein expression, we built tissue microarrays (TMAs) from hepatic metastases of 34 CRC patients. Using integrated omics analyses we observed that Brca1 gene is among the twenty transcripts simultaneously up-regulated in all three types of TME liver cells during metastasis. Further analysis revealed that Brca1 is the last BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC) gene activated in the TME. We confirmed this finding in human reanalyzing transcriptomics datasets from 184 patients from non-tumor colorectal tissue, primary colorectal tumor and colorectal liver metastasis of the GEO database. We found that the sequence of cell activation during metastasis is Endothelial->Ito->Kupffer. Immunohistochemical analysis of human liver metastases showed BRCA1 protein was co-localized in Ito, Kupffer and endothelial cells in 81.8% of early or synchronous metastases. However, in the greater part of the metachronous liver metastases this protein was not expressed in any of these TME cells. These results suggest a possible role of the co-expression of BRCA1 in Ito, Kupffer and sinusoidal endothelial cells in the early occurrence of CRC liver metastases, and point to BRCA1 as a potential TME biomarker. Animals: Balb/c mice (6- to 8-week-old males) were obtained from Charles River Laboratories Spain SA (Barcelona, Spain). All procedures were approved by the Ethical Committee for Animal Experimentation of the University of the Basque Country (EHU/UPV) in accordance with institutional, national and international guidelines regarding the protection and care of animal use for scientific purposes. Mice were kept in the animal facility of EHU/UPV and had access to standard chow and water ad libitum. Colorectal cancer cells: Murine CRC C26 cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA) syngeneic with Balb/c mice were grown under standard conditions in RPMI medium (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin (100 U/ml), streptomycin (100 mg/ml) and amphotericin B (0.25 mg/ml), all purchased from Life technologies, Carlsbad, CA. Control and tumor-activated hepatic cell isolation and culture: Control and tumor-activated primary cultures of hepatic cells, LSECs, Ito cells and Kupffer cells were isolated from livers with CRC metastasis, or from healthy controls. Balb/c mice were anesthetized with isofluorano and underwent surgical incisions on their left broadside. Mice were inoculated into the spleen at the incision sites using 2x106 of C26 colon carcinoma cells. Control mice were inoculated with PBS. Fourteen days later, all mice were sacrificed and the liver cells removed and purified by differential centrifugation. In brief, the mice were perfused with Clostridium histolyticum collagenase P (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) through the cava vein and the obtained cell suspension twice centrifuged resulting in a parenchymal (PC)-enriched pellet and a non-PC-enriched supernatant. The non-PC-enriched supernatant was layered on Percoll gradients (25% on top of 50% w/v) to obtain LSECs and on Percoll gradients (33% on top of 50% w/v) to obtain Ito cells. After centrifugation the interphase between the two density cushions was collected and contained purified non-PC enriched LSECs in the first gradient and Ito cells in the second one. Both solutions contained Kupffer cells which were further separated by adherence assays. All cell fractions were washed and cultured with RPMI 1640 medium (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS and used in different experiments a maximum of 24 hours after isolation (Life technologies, Carlsbad, CA). Omics analysis: 100ng of total RNA from each fraction was labeled and hybridized onto Agilent mouse RNA and miRNA microarrays, Release 18.0 (Agilent Technologies, USA) following the standard Agilent Protocol with RNA and miRNA Complete Labelling and Hybridization Kits, including Agilent RNA Spike-ins. Results were scanned using an Agilent Microarray Scanner G2565CA. Scanned TIFF image files were processed using Agilent Feature Extraction Software (v10.7.3.1) to extract the raw data. All omics data were normalized with the quantile method.

Project description:Specialized post-arterial capillaries facilitate adult bone remodeling

Project description:The adrenal cortex is characterized by a distinct architecture as well as a high density of specialized sinusoidal blood vessels. The preservation of this particular endothelial cell phenotype is likely vital for proper adrenal gland function. The aldosterone-producing zona glomerulosa harbors macrophages in close association with sinusoidal capillaries. However, the function of this macrophage-endothelial cell-juxtaposition in steady-state conditions is unknown. We show that macrophages preserve capillary specialization in the adrenal gland and modulate aldosterone secretion. By combining macrophage-specific deletion of the angiogenic cytokine Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A), single-cell transcriptomics and functional phenotyping, we provide evidence that loss of VEGF-A in myeloid cells, including adrenal gland macrophages depletes a specialized subset of PLVAP+ fenestrated endothelial cells in the zona glomerulosa of mice, along with increased deposition of basement membrane collagen IV and in
