Resolving Resident Colonic Muscularis Macrophage Diversity and Plasticity During Colitis

ABSTRACT: Background: Immune cell populations within the intestinal muscularis propria are poorly resolved during colitis. Maintaining homeostasis in this unique niche is of critical importance, highlighted by the poorer prognosis of inflammatory bowel disease associated with inflammation in the muscularis propria. Methods: This study utilizes single-cell RNA sequencing to survey the immune cell populations within the muscularis propria of normal colon and DSS-induced colitis. Results: In naïve conditions, transcriptional duality is observed in MMφ with two major supopulations: conventional resident Cx3cr1+ MMφs and Lyve1+ MMφs. During colitis, significant changes occur within the muscularis propria, with increases in B-cells, T-cells, monocytes, neutrophils, and dendritic cells. Unlike in the mucosa, single cell transcriptomics indicates that resident MMφs are retained during colitis and exhibit plasticity toward an inflammatory profile. Lyve1+ MMφs, which express anti-inflammatory marker CD163, are absent during colitis. In contrast, resident Cx3cr1+ MMφs remain during colitis. Conclusions: Our findings provide a resource for understanding the immune system in the muscularis propria niche during colitis and resolve the heterogeneity and origins of proinflammatory MMφs during colitis by demonstrating the plasticity of the persistent MMφ population.

Project description:Resident human lamina propria immune cells serve as powerful effectors in host defense. Molecular events associated with the initiation of an intestinal inflammatory response in these cells are largely unknown. Here, we aimed to characterize phenotypic and functional changes induced in these cells at the onset of intestinal inflammation using a human intestinal organ culture model. In this model, healthy human colonic mucosa was depleted of epithelial cells by EDTA treatment. Following loss of the epithelial layer, expression of the inflammatory mediators IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-23p19, TNF-α, CXCL2 and the surface receptors CD14, TLR2, CD86, CD54 was rapidly induced in resident lamina propria cells in situ as determined by qRT-PCR and immunohistology. Gene microarray analysis of lamina propria cells obtained by laser-capture microdissection provided an overview of global changes in gene expression occurring during the initiation of an intestinal inflammatory response in these cells. Bioinformatic analysis gave insight into signalling pathways mediating this inflammatory response. Furthermore, comparison with published microarray datasets of inflamed mucosa in vivo (ulcerative colitis) revealed a significant overlap of differentially regulated genes underlining the in vivo relevance of the organ culture model. The organ culture model characterized may be useful to study molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation of an intestinal inflammatory response in normal mucosa as well as potential alterations of this response in inflammatory bowel disease. Gut specimens were derived from individuals undergoing resection for localized colon cancer. Microscopically normal colonic mucosa was dissected from the surgical specimen near the resection margin and immediately subjected to the experimental procedures. After extensive washing the mucus layer was removed by dithiothreitol (DTT) treatment. Subsequently, punches of defined surface area were prepared and denuded of epithelial cells by exposure to EDTA. Samples were collected prior to culturing and washing (control, t = 0 h, total mucosa, TM) as well as after loss of the epithelial layer (t = 5 h, mucosa after loss of epithelial layer, LEL-M) and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Lamina Propria (LP) was subsequently isolated via Laser Capture Microdissection (LMD) followed by RNA isolation. Microarray analysis of TM-LP (control) and LEL-LP samples was performed using the WG-DASL Human HT_12 V4 Expression BeadChip Assay from Illumina employing a minimum of 200 ng total RNA per sample. Four replicates from individual experiments were measured for each time point.
