Perilipin 2-positive mononuclear phagocytes accumulate in diabetic retina and promote PPARγ-dependent vasodegeneration

ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), characterized by hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia leads to non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). NPDR is associated with blood-retinal barrier disruption, plasma exudates, microvascular degeneration, elevated inflammatory cytokine levels and monocyte (Mo) infiltration. Whether and how the diabetes-associated changes in plasma lipid and carbohydrate levels modify Mo differentiation. Here, we show that mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) in areas of vascular leakage in DR donor retinas express PLIN2, a marker of intracellular lipid load. Strong upregulation of PLIN2 was also observed when healthy donor Mos were treated with plasma from T2DM patients or with palmitate concentrations typical of T2DM plasma, but not under high glucose conditions. PLIN2 expression correlated with the expression of other key genes involved in lipid metabolism (ACADVL, PDK4) and the DR biomarkers ANGPTL4 and CXCL8. Mechanistically, we show that lipid-exposed MPs induce capillary degeneration in ex vivo explants, which was inhibited by pharmaceutical inhibition of PPARγ signaling. Our study provides a novel mechanism linking dyslipidemia-induced MP polarization to the increased inflammatory cytokine levels and microvascular degeneration that characterize NPDR. This study provides comprehensive insights into the glycemia-independent activation of Mos in T2DM and identifies MP PPARγ as a target to inhibit lipid-activated MPs in DR

Perilipin 2 improves insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle despite elevated intramuscular lipid levels

Project description:Type 2 diabetes is characterized by excessive lipid storage in skeletal muscle. Excessive intramyocellular lipid storage exceeds intracellular needs and induces lipotoxic events ultimately contributing to the development of insulin resistance. Lipid droplet (LD)-coating proteins may control proper lipid storage in skeletal muscle. Perilipin 2 (PLIN2/ADRP) is one of the most abundantly expressed LD-coating proteins in skeletal muscle. Here we examined the role of PLIN2 in myocellular lipid handling and insulin sensitivity by investigating the effects of in vitro PLIN2 knockdown and in vitro and in vivo overexpression. PLIN2 knockdown decreased LD formation and triacylglycerol storage, marginally increased FA oxidation, and increased incorporation of palmitate into diacylglycerols and phospholipids. PLIN2 overexpression in vitro increased intramyocellular TAG storage paralleled with improved insulin sensitivity. In vivo muscle-specific PLIN2 overexpression resulted in increased LD accumulation and blunted the high-fat diet-induced increase of OXPHOS protein content. Diacylglycerol levels were unchanged, while ceramide levels were increased. Despite the increased intramyocellular lipid accumulation, PLIN2 overexpression improved skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. We conclude that PLIN2 is essential for lipid storage in skeletal muscle by enhancing the partitioning of excess FAs towards triacylglycerol storage in LDs thereby blunting lipotoxicity-associated insulin resistance. C2C12 cells (mouse myoblast cell line) were treated with fatty acids and effects of knockdown of Perilipin 2 by siRNA were studied by gene expression profiling.

Altered hepatic lipid droplet morphology and lipid metabolism in fasted Plin2 null mice

Project description:Perilipin 2 (Plin2) binds to the surface of hepatic lipid droplets (LDs) with expression levels that correlate with triacylglyceride (TAG) content. We investigated if Plin2 is important for hepatic LD storage in fasted or high-fat diet-induced obese Plin2+/+ and Plin2-/- mice. Plin2-/- mice had comparable body weights, metabolic phenotype, glucose tolerance, and circulating TAG and total cholesterol levels compared to Plin2+/+ mice, regardless of the dietary regime. Both fasted and high-fat fed Plin2-/- mice stored reduced levels of hepatic TAG compared to Plin2+/+ mice. Fasted Plin2-/- mice stored fewer, but larger hepatic lipid droplets compared to Plin2+/+ mice. Detailed hepatic lipid analysis showed substantial reductions in accumulated TAG species in fasted Plin2-/- mice compared to Plin2+/+ mice, whereas cholesteryl esters and phosphatidylcholines were increased. RNA sequencing revealed minor differences in hepatic gene expression between fed Plin2+/+ and Plin2-/- mice, in contrast to marked differences in gene expression between fasted Plin2+/+ and Plin2-/- mice. Our findings demonstrate that Plin2 is required to regulate hepatic lipid droplet size and storage of neutral lipid species in the fasted state, while its role in obesity-induced steatosis is less clear.

Glucosamine facilitates cardiac ischemic recovery via recruiting Ly6Clow monocytes in a STAT1 O-GlcNAcylation dependent fashion

Project description:The O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification on intracellular proteins controls diverse biological processes. Though sustained hyper-O-GlcNAcylation aggravates pathogenesis of many chronic diseases, accumulating evidence also indicates that acute augmentation in O-GlcNAcylation seems to benefit disease healing in some cases. Glucosamine (GlcN) is a freely available and commonly used dietary supplement for human cartilage health, which also activates the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway and induces protein O-GlcNAcylation. Here we show that both GlcN early and late therapies effectively facilitate cardiac recovery in mice by elevating accumulation of Ly6Clow Mo/Mps in infarcted hearts. Eliminating Mo/Mps with clodronate liposomes fully abolishes aforementioned cardiac healing role of GlcN. Importantly, GlcN supplementation accelerates not only in vitro mobility of reparative Mo/Mps but also in vivo infiltration of Ly6Clow Mos. Mechanistically, GlcN positively regulates transcription of myeloid CX3C chemokine receptor 1 (Cx3cr1) by improving STAT1 O-GlcNAcylation, which stabilizes STAT1 and subsequently promotes chemotaxis and infiltration of Ly6Clow Mos. In summary, we identify a novel anti-inflammatory role of GlcN and suggest that its protective effects are mediated through chemotaxis of Ly6Clow Mos in a STAT1/CX3CR1-dependent fashion, which is controlled by O-GlcNAcylation of STAT1. Our study provides a novel clue for Mo/Mps modulator therapies aimed at reducing post-MI hyperinflammation in ischemic myocardium.

Human and murine transcriptome profiling identifies cross-species homology in pulmonary mononuclear phagocytes [DCs and Monocytes]

Project description:The mononuclear phagocyte (MP) system consists of macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells. MP subtypes play distinct functional roles in steady-state and inflammatory conditions. Though murine MPs are well characterized, their human homologues remain poorly understood, particularly in the lung and draining lymph nodes (LNs). Understanding these homologies, and their similarities and differences with murine MPs, is critical for identifying human genetic targets and thus developing human immunotherapies. To address this gap, we performed transcriptome-based alignment across fifteen distinct human and nine distinct murine lung and LN MPs. As controls to validate the analytical quality of cross-species pulmonary MP analysis, human blood and murine spleen MPs were used. Constrained canonical correlation, t-SNE and catplot visualization was used to align human and mouse MPs and identify MP subtypes with maximal correspondence across species. Among the top marker genes expressed in corresponding human-mouse MP pairs, only 30-10% of the genes overlapped, indicating a need for caution when identifying human gene variants and functions from mice. For instance, SPP1 is highly expressed in human interstitial macrophages but not alveolar macrophages (AMs), whereas in mice SSP1 is only expressed in AMs. Moreover, human LN dendritic cells (DCs) align best with murine LN DCs but not murine splenic DCs indicating cross-species similarity in tissue. Lastly, in both species, CD88 was the most useful cell surface marker for distinguishing monocyte/macrophages from DCs. Overall, these data provide a reference for analyzing cross-species transcriptome data and evaluating whether specific murine genes are suitable guides to identify the functionality of human MPs, or conversely, whether pursuing specific human genes in mice, is likely to be a valid and fruitful approach.

Tumor-derived Tissue Factor Activates Coagulation and Enhances Thrombosis in a Mouse Xenograft Model of Human Pancreatic Cancer

Project description:Cancer patients often have an activated clotting system and are at increased risk for venous thrombosis. In this study, we analyzed tissue factor (TF) expression in four different human pancreatic tumor cell lines for the purpose of producing derivative tumors in vivo. We found that two of the lines expressed TF and released TF-positive microparticles (MPs) into the culture medium. The majority of TF protein in the culture medium was associated with MPs. Importantly, only TF-positive cell lines activated coagulation in nude mice, and this activation was abolished by an anti-human TF antibody. Of the two TF-positive lines only one produced detectable levels of human MP TF activity in the plasma when grown orthotopically in nude mice. Surprisingly, <5% of human TF protein in plasma from tumor-bearing mice was associated with MPs. Mice with TF-positive tumors and elevated levels of circulating TF-positive MPs had increased thrombosis in a saphenous vein model. In contrast, we observed no difference in thrombus weight between tumor bearing and control mice in an inferior vena cava stenosis model. Our studies suggest that in a xenograft mouse model tumor TF activates coagulation, whereas TF on circulating MPs may trigger venous thrombosis.

Characterization of Arginase Expression in Glioma-Associated Microglia and Macrophages

Project description:Microglia (MG) and macrophages (MPs) represent a significant component of the inflammatory response to gliomas. When activated, MG/MP release a variety of pro-inflammatory cytokines, however, they also secrete anti-inflammatory factors that limit their cytotoxic function. The balance between pro and anti-inflammatory functions dictates their antitumor activity. To evaluate potential variations in MG and MP function in gliomas, we isolated these cells (and other Gr1+ cells) from intracranial GL261 murine gliomas by FACS and evaluated their gene expression profiles by microarray analysis. As expected, arginase 1 (Arg1, M2 marker) was highly expressed by tumor-associated Gr1+, MG and MP. However, in contrast to MP and Gr1+ cells that expressed Arg1 shortly after tumor trafficking, Arg1 expression in MG was delayed and occurred in larger tumors. Interestingly, depletion of MPs in tumors did not prevent MG polarization, suggesting direct influence of tumor-specific factors on MG Arg1 upregulation. Finally, Arg1 expression was confirmed in human GBM samples, but most Arg1+ cells were neutrophils and not MPs. These findings confirm variations in tumor MG and MP polarization states and its dependency on tumor microenvironmental factors.

Transcript sequencing of mononuclear fractions from dissociated murine skeletal muscle

Project description:The important role of mesenchymal progenitors is quickly emerging in various biological processes. Thus far an appropriate marker has been lacking. Here the fractionation of dissociated skeletal muscle and subsequent enrichment of MPs by an established method was employed. Endothelial and blood derived cells comprised the lineage positive fraction and the remaining cell suspension was fractionated using the surface marker Sca1(Ly6a) to enrich for MPs. RNA sequencing was performed on all fractions and subsequent transcriptomic data was interrogated for MP specific transcription factors. Hic1 was found to be highly enriched in the MP fraction.

Proteome of microparticles derived from Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected macrophages

Project description:Microparticles (MP) are small membranous particles (100-1000 nm) released under normal steady-state conditions and are thought to provide a communication network between host cells. Previous studies demonstrated that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection of macrophages increased the release of MPs, and these MPs induced a proinflammatory response from uninfected macrophages in vitro and in vivo following their transfer into uninfected mice. To determine how M.tb infection modulates the protein composition of the MPs, and if this contributes to their proinflammatory properties, we compared the proteomes of MPs derived from M.tb-infected (TBinf-MP) and uninfected human THP-1 monocytic cells. MP proteins were analysed by GeLC-MS/MS with spectral counting revealing 68 proteins with statistically significant differential abundances. The 42 proteins increased in abundance in TBinf-MPs included proteins associated with immune function (7), lysosomal/endosomal maturation (4), vesicular formation (12), nucleosome proteins (4) and antigen processing (9). Prominent among these were the type I interferon inducible proteins, ISG15, IFIT1, IFIT2, and IFIT3. Exposure of uninfected THP-1 cells to TBinf-MPs induced increased gene expression of isg15, ifit1, ifit2, and ifit3 and the release of proinflammatory cytokines. These proteins may regulate the proinflammatory potential of the MPs and provide candidate biomarkers for M.tb infection.
