Project description:Inflammatory macrophage activation is a critical component of the antitumor immune response and an emerging therapeutic concept. To evaluate the impact of heme exposure on antitumoral macrophage activity, we grew spheroids of mixed GFP-MC38 and BMDMs that were either untreated or pretreated with heme, INFγ, or heme + INFγ, and characterized them by scRNA-seq.

Project description:To study the impact of heme-TAMs on the growth, phenotype, and function of cancer cells, we cultured GFP-MC38 cells either alone or mixed with heme-treated macrophages in microwell plates, enabling us to collect large numbers of uniform spheroids for scRNA-seq. We observed that after four days, the size of GFP-MC38 spheroids regressed, and the tumor cells underwent apoptosis and decayed metabolically. In contrast, the presence of heme-TAMs within spheroids prevented apoptosis, supporting the extended growth of metabolically viable spheroids beyond 10 days of culture.

Project description:Heme-activation of NRF2 is a strong anti-inflammatory signal in macrophages, and analyses in this study indicated that the expressed transcriptome in heme-TAMs was consistently enriched for NRF2 target genes. We have therefore delineated the role of NRF2 in a series of experiments with Nrf2 knockout BMDMs, leading to a locked NRF2-inactive state, and macrophages with a knockout of the cytoplasmic NRF2 capture protein KEAP1, leading to a locked NRF2-active state, irrespective of the presence or absence of heme. To demonstrate that activated NRF2 is sufficient to drive heme-TAM transformation, we analyzed Keap1 knockout macrophages.

Project description:Splenic red pulp macrophages (RPM) degrade senescent erythrocytes and recycle heme-associated iron. The transcription factor Spic is selectively expressed by RPM and is required for their development, but the physiologic stimulus inducing Spic is unknown. Here, we report that Spic also regulated the development of F4/80+VCAM+ bone marrow macrophages (BMM) and that Spic expression in BMM and RPM development was induced by heme, a metabolite of erythrocyte degradation. Pathologic hemolysis induced loss of RPM and BMM due to excess heme but induced Spic in monocytes to generate new RPM and BMM. Spic expression in monocytes was constitutively inhibited by the transcriptional repressor Bach1. Heme induced proteasome-dependent BACH1 degradation and rapid Spic derepression. Further, cysteine-proline dipeptide motifs in BACH1 that mediate heme-dependent degradation were necessary for Spic induction by heme. These findings are the first example of metabolite-driven differentiation of a tissue-resident macrophage subset and provide new insight into iron homeostasis. Global gene expression pattern of bone marrow-derived macrophages generated with GM-CSF in vitro and treated with heme were compared to those treated with vehicle at 6 hours, 24 hours, and 72 hours after treatment. GM-CSF cultures of Spic(igfp/igfp) BM cells were treated with heme (80 µm) or vehicle after 6 days in culture. Adherent fraction of cells were harvested 6 hours, 24 hours, and 72 hours after treatment and RNA was isolated using an RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) and submitted for amplification, labeling and hybridization. Expression values were analyzed after RMA quantile normalization using ArrayStar software (DNASTAR).

Bone marrow derived macrophages were generated in vitro by culturing WT and Bach1 knock out bone marrow in the presence of GM-CSF and their global gene expression pattern were compared in the presence or absence of heme at the various indicated time points after treatment. GMP and MPP populations were sorted from fetal liver chimeras and pooled by donor genotype.

Project description:Heme is an erythrocyte-derived toxin that drives disease progression in hemolytic anemias. During hemolysis, specialized bone marrow-derived macrophages with a high heme-metabolism capacity orchestrate disease adaptation by removing damaged erythrocytes and heme-protein complexes from the blood and supporting iron recycling for erythropoiesis. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing with RNA velocity analysis of GM-CSF-supplemented mouse bone marrow cultures to assess myeloid differentiation under heme stress. We found that heme-activated NRF2 signaling shifted the differentiation trajectories of cells towards antioxidant, iron-recycling macrophages at the expense of dendritic cells, as these cells were selectively deficient in heme-exposed bone marrow cultures. Heme eliminated the capacity of GM-CSF-supplemented bone marrow cultures to activate antigen-specific T cells. The generation of functionally competent dendritic cells was restored by NRF2 loss. The heme-induced phenotype was reproduced in hemolytic mice with sickle cell disease and spherocytosis and associated with reduced dendritic cell functions in the spleen. Our data provide a novel mechanistic underpinning how hemolytic stress may provoke hyposplenism-related secondary immunodeficiency, which is a critical determinant of mortality in patients with genetic hemolytic anemias.

Project description:Activation of inflammation is tightly associated with metabolic reprogramming in macrophages. The iron-containing tetrapyrrole heme can induce pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory effects in murine macrophages, but has been associated with polarization towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype in human macrophages. In the current study, we compared the regulatory responses to heme and the prototypical Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 ligand lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in human and mouse macrophages with a particular focus on alterations of cellular bioenergetics. In human macrophages, bulk RNA-sequencing analysis indicated that heme led to an anti-inflammatory transcriptional profile, whereas LPS induced a classical pro-inflammatory gene response. Co-stimulation of heme with LPS caused opposing regulatory patterns of inflammatory activation and cellular bioenergetics in human and mouse macrophages. Specifically, in LPS-stimulated murine, but not human macrophages, heme led to a marked suppression of oxidative phosphorylation and an up-regulation of glycolysis. The species-specific alterations in cellular bioenergetics and inflammatory responses to heme were critically dependent on the availability of nitric oxide (NO) that is generated in inflammatory mouse, but not human macrophages. Accordingly, studies with an inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibitor in mouse, and a pharmacological NO donor in human macrophages, reveal that NO is responsible for the opposing effects of heme in these cells. Taken together, the current findings indicate that NO is critical for the immunomodulatory role of heme in macrophages.
