Neutrophil trapping and nexocytosis are mast cell processes for inflammatory signal relay

ABSTRACT: Neutrophils are sentinel immune cells with essential roles for our anti-microbial defense. Most of our knowledge on neutrophil trafficking and tissue navigation derived from models of sterile inflammation and infection. Here, we analyzed allergen-challenged mouse tissues and discovered that degranulating mast cells (MCs) trap living neutrophils inside them. MCs release the attractant leukotriene B4 to re-route neutrophils toward them, thus exploiting a chemotactic system which neutrophils normally use for intercellular communication. Neutrophils die as a consequence of mast cell intracellular trap (MIT) formation, but their undigested material remains stored inside MC vacuoles over days. MCs can use this debris to increase their functional and metabolic fitness. Additionally, they can also exocytose active neutrophilic compounds with a time delay (nexocytosis) and elicit a pro-inflammatory type 1 interferon response in surrounding macrophages. Together, our study highlights neutrophil trapping and nexocytosis as mast cell-dependent processes, which may relay neutrophilic features over the course of chronic allergic inflammation.

Mast cell intracellular traps (MIT) release neutrophil effector proteins during degranulation and nexocytosis

Project description:Degranulating mast cells (MCs) release inflammatory mediators (proteins, lipids, small molecules), including chemokines and chemoattractants, which recruit other immune cells in tissues. Neutrophils can initiate self-amplifying swarming responses via intercellular communication through the lipid leukotriene B4 (LTB4). Initially discovered by two-photon intravital microscopy in mice and confocal live cell imaging, we show that degranulating MCs release LTB4 and exploit this attractant by re-directing neutrophils to MCs. In a process generally termed entosis, neutrophil cluster formation around MCs results in the trapping of living neutrophils inside MC vacuoles in vivo and in vitro. Thus, we identify a novel cell-in-cell structure between MCs and neutrophils, which we term “Mast Cell Intracellular Trap” (MIT). Compared to MCs, MITs revealed improved MC metabolism and recovery after degranulation. This leads to several benefits for MITs: (1) they can be more efficiently re-stimulated than MCs, (2) they show improved survival under nutrient limitation, and (3) MITs store neutrophil proteins, DNA and effector molecules, which can be released after re-stimulation. In this context, we compare the secretome (secreted proteins) of MCs and MITs (in cell culture) before and subsequent to degranulation via label-free nanoLC-MS. In summary, mast cells trap and cannibalize swarming neutrophils, which supply nutrients, proteins and inflammatory molecules to recovering MCs. Our studies may have potential implications for chronically activated MCs in MC-related immune disorders.

Mast cells trap and cannibalize swarming neutrophils for metabolic independence

Project description:Neutrophils are activated and attracted to sites of anaphylaxis by degranulating tissue resident mast cells. After they facilitate inflammation and an anti-microbial immune response. However, the dynamics of neutrophils and direct interactions with mast cells are poorly investigated yet. By approaching 2-photon intravital microscopy and live cell imaging, we show that degranulating mast cells induce neutrophil swarming by releasing leukotriene B4 (LTB4). Attracted neutrophils interact with mast cells and surprisingly penetrate inside mast cells where they are stably trapped inside mast cell granules. We call this novel form of cell-in-cell structure “Mast Cell Intracellular Trap” (MIT). Trapped neutrophils and mast cells are both viable in the first 12 hours after MIT formation. However, neutrophils start to dye after 12hrs and translatome analysis of mast cells revealed improved mast cell metabolism and recovery. Therefore, neutrophils allow a faster and more efficient mast cell re-stimulation. Furthermore, mast cells get more resistant to extracellular nutrient limitations. Thus, beside their inflammatory role in anaphylaxis, neutrophils support mast cell recovery by forming a cell in cell structure. This might affect chronic inflammation and recurrent infections.

ATF3 is a novel regulator of mouse neutrophil migration.

Project description:Expression of the activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) gene is induced by Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. In turn, ATF3 protein inhibits the expression of various TLR-driven pro-inflammatory genes. Given its counter-regulatory role in diverse innate immune responses, we defined the effects of ATF3 on neutrophilic airway inflammation in mice. ATF3 deletion was associated with increased lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-driven airway epithelia production of CXCL1, but not CXCL2, findings concordant with a consensus ATF3-binding site identified solely in the Cxcl1 promoter. Unexpectedly, ATF3-deficient mice did not exhibit increased airway neutrophilia after LPS challenge. Bone marrow chimeras revealed a specific reduction in ATF3-/- neutrophil recruitment to wild type lungs. In vitro, ATF3-/- neutrophils exhibited a profound chemotaxis defect. Global gene expression analysis identified ablated Tiam2 expression in ATF3-/- neutrophils. TIAM2 regulates cellular motility by activating Rac1-mediated focal adhesion disassembly. Notably, ATF3-/- and ATF3-sufficient TIAM2 knockdown neutrophils, both lacking TIAM2, exhibited increased focal complex area, along with excessive CD11b-mediated F-actin polymerization. Together, our data describe a dichotomous role for ATF3-mediated regulation of neutrophilic responses: inhibition of neutrophil chemokine production, but promotion of neutrophil chemotaxis. Ly6G+ neutrophils were purified by magnetic beads from WT or ATF3 KO bone marrow and RNA was immediately isolated for global gene expression using microarrays.

¬The EGFR/ErbB inhibitor neratinib promotes apoptosis and clearance by airway macrophages

Project description:Dysregulated neutrophilic inflammation can be highly destructive in chronic inflammatory diseases due to prolonged neutrophil lifespan and continual release of histotoxic mediators in inflamed tissues. Inducing neutrophil apoptosis, an immunologically silent form of cell death, may be beneficial in these diseases, provided that the apoptotic neutrophils are efficiently cleared from the tissue. Our previous research identified ErbB inhibitors as able to induce neutrophil apoptosis and reduce neutrophilic inflammation both in vitro and in vivo (Rahman et al. 2019). Here we expand on that work using a clinical ErbB inhibitor, neratinib, which has the potential to be repurposed in inflammatory diseases. We show that neratinib reduces neutrophilic migration to an inflammatory site in zebrafish larvae. Neratinib upregulates efferocytosis and reduces the number of dead neutrophils in mouse models of acute, but not chronic, lung injury, suggesting the drug may have therapeutic benefits in acute inflammatory settings. Phosphoproteomics analysis of human neutrophils shows that neratinib modifies the phosphorylation of proteins regulating apoptosis, migration and efferocytosis. This work identifies a potential efficacious mechanism for neratinib in acute lung inflammation by upregulating the clearance of dead neutrophils, and examination of the neutrophil phosphoproteome gives insight into the mechanisms by which this may be occurring.

RNA sequencing of different neutrophil subpopulations from bone marrow

Project description:The purpose of this study is to learn the dynamic transcriptomic and molecular changes during neutrophil development. We investigated the gene expression profiles of purified morphology-defined neutrophil populations. Promyelocytes (PMs), myelocytes (MCs), metamyelocytes (MMs), band neutrophils and segmented neutrophils (BN/SNs) were isolated by FACS based on differential expression of C-Kit and Ly6g.Their identities were confirmed by morphological examination. Bulk RNA sequencing was then performed to reveal the gene expression profiles and molecular signatures of each cell population. Detailed analysis of gene expression revealed that MBs highly expressed the stem cell marker Cd34 and translation-related genes such as Eef1a1, while the highest expression of primary granule-related genes such as Mpo, Elane, Prtn3, and Cstg was detected in the PM population. MCs and MMs were highly proliferative neutrophils expressing high levels of cell cycle-related genes which were significantly downregulated in mature neutrophils. Finally, this study provides a framework for the detail study of the neutrophil development and for the future application in the modulation of the granulopoiesis under pathological conditions.

Increased mitochondrial metabolism in neutrophils revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) predicts remission in a fatal case of neutrophilic asthma

Project description:We present a case of lethal neutrophilic asthma, in which the patient required mechanical ventilation due to hypoxia and hypercapnia. After receiving high-dose steroid treatment, the patient eventually recovered and was successfully weaned off mechanical ventilation. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) analysis on the patient's bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) both before and during the remission phase. During the remission phase, we discovered a cluster of hybrid recovery-specific neutrophils (rs-Neus) that exhibited significantly higher levels of oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) and Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle (TCA) compared to pathological neutrophils (pNeus). Moreover, we observed a significant decrease in the inflammatory response in rs-Neus, which was found to be negatively correlated with their mitochondrial metabolic activity. Pathway analysis suggested that the hypoxia signaling pathway played a key role in the observed metabolic changes. Our fins highlight the changes in the metabolic landscape of neutrophils in BALF during the development of severe neutrophilic asthma. Furthermore, our study suggests that neutrophil mitochondrial metabolism may serve as an essential indicator of remission and underscores the potential of targeting neutrophil metabolism as a therapeutic strategy for severe neutrophilic asthma.

Mast cell cytonemes as a defense mechanism against Coxiella burnetii

Project description:Mast cells (MCs) are critical mediators of inflammation; however, their microbicidal activity against invading pathogens remains largely unknown. Here, we describe a nonpreviously reported antibacterial mechanism used by MCs against Coxiella burnetii, the agent of Q fever. We show that C. burnetii interaction with MCs does not result in bacterial uptake but rather induces the formation of extracellular actin filaments named cytonemes. MC cytonemes express cathelicidin and neutrophil elastase and mediate the capture and destruction of entrapped bacteria. We provide evidence that MC cytoneme formation and microbicidal activity are dependent on the cooperation of the scavenger receptor CD36 and Toll-like receptor 4. Taken together, our results suggest that MCs use an extracellular sophisticated mechanism of defense to eliminate intracellular pathogens, such as C. burnetii, before their entry into host cells.

Human bone marrow precursor cells

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)
