Role of NR4A1 and non-classical monocytes in a mouse model of neovascular age-related macular degeneration

ABSTRACT: Neovascular AMD (nAMD) causes vision loss from destructive angiogenesis, termed choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Cx3cr1-/- mice display non-classical monocyte and microglia alterations, and increased CNV size, suggesting that non-classical monocytes may inhibit CNV formation. While Nr4a1-/- mice are deficient in non-classical monocytes, results are confounded by macrophage hyper-activation. Nr4a1se2/se2 mice lack a transcriptional activator, resulting in non-classical monocyte loss, without macrophage hyper-activation. We subjected Nr4a1-/- and Nr4a1se2/se2 mice to the laser-induced CNV model and performed multi-parameter flow cytometry. We found that both models lack non-classical monocytes, but only Nr4a1-/- mice displayed increased CNV area. Additionally, CD11c+ macrophages were increased in Nr4a1-/- mice. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis uncovered that CD11c+ macrophages were enriched from Nr4a1-/- mice and expressed a pro-angiogenic transcriptomic profile that was disparate from prior reports of macrophage hyper-activation. These results suggest that non-classical monocytes are dispensable during laser-induced CNV, and NR4A1 deficiency shifts the transcriptional profile toward a pro-angiogenic phenotype.

CD11c+ macrophages are pro-angiogenic and necessary for experimental choroidal neovascularization

Project description:Patients with neovascular AMD (nAMD) suffer vision loss from destructive angiogenesis, termed choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Macrophages are found in CNV lesions from nAMD patients. Additionally, Ccr2-/- mice, which lack classical monocyte-derived macrophages, show reduced CNV size. However, macrophages are highly diverse cells that can perform multiple functions. We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing on immune cells from wildtype and Ccr2-/- eyes to uncover macrophage heterogeneity during the laser-induced CNV mouse model of nAMD. We identified 12 macrophage subtypes, including Spp1+ macrophages. Spp1+ macrophages were enriched from wildtype lasered eyes and expressed a pro-angiogenic transcriptome via multiple pathways, including vascular endothelial growth factor signaling, endothelial cell sprouting, cytokine signaling, and fibrosis. Additionally, Spp1+ macrophages expressed the marker CD11c, and CD11c+ macrophages were increased by laser and present in CNV lesions. Finally, CD11c+ macrophage depletion reduced CNV size by 40%. These findings broaden our understanding of ocular macrophage heterogeneity and implicate CD11c+ macrophages as a potential therapeutic target for treatment-resistant nAMD patients.

Transcriptomic profiling of lung monocytes and macrophages in mice

Project description:We developed a simplified flow cytometry strategy in order to discriminate monocytes and macrophages in the lung of C57BL/6 mice. Using this strategy, we identified autofluorescent F4/80+ CD11c+ alveolar macrophages, non-autofluorescent CD64+Ly-6C- interstitial macrophages and Ly-6Chi monocytes residing in the lung of WT mice. A fraction of these Ly-6Chi monocytes corresponded to classical blood monocytes associated with the lung vasculature, but another fraction did not depend on CCR2, the chemokine receptor required for monocytes to egress from the bone marrow, as a population of lung Ly-6Chi monocytes was also present in the lung of Ccr2-/- mice. A remaining question was whether lung monocytes represented a particular population of monocytes that could be distinguishable from the classical CCR2-dependent blood monocytes. To address this issue, we performed a transcriptomic comparison of Ly-6Chi monocytes recovered from flushed lung of WT mice (â60% of CCR2- dependent classical blood monocytes and â40% of lung monocytes) and Ccr2-/- mice (more than 95% of lung monocytes). In addition, we tested whether exposure to TLR ligands would affect interstitial macrophages, and we compared to transcriptome of IM at steady-state and IM 1 week after administration of 50 Âµg CpG-DNA intratracheally.

Transcription factor C/EBP⍺ is required for the development of Ly6Chi monocytes but not Ly6Clo monocytes

Project description:Monocytes comprise two major subsets, Ly6Chi classical monocytes and Ly6Clo non-classical monocytes. Notch2 signaling in Ly6Chi monocytes triggers transition to Ly6Clo monocytes, which require Nr4a1, Bcl6, Irf2 and Cebpb. By comparison, less is known about transcriptional requirements for Ly6Chi monocytes. We find transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPα) is highly expressed in Ly6Chi monocytes, but down-regulated in Ly6Clo monocytes. A few previous studies described the requirement of C/EBPα in the development of neutrophils and eosinophils. However, role of C/EBPα for in vivo monocyte development has not been understood. We deleted the Cebpa +37 kb enhancer in mice, eliminating hematopoietic expression of C/EBPα, reproducing the expected neutrophil defect. Surprisingly, we also discovered a severe and selective loss of Ly6Chi monocytes, while preserving Ly6Clo monocytes. We find that BM progenitors from Cebpa +37–/– mice rapidly progress through the cMoP stage to develop directly into Ly6Clo monocytes even in the absence of Notch2 signaling. These results identify a previously unrecognized role for C/EBPα in maintaining Ly6Chi monocyte identity.

Divergent Epigenetic and Transcriptomic Remodelling during Monocyte Subset Differentiation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus [RNA-seq]

Project description:Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by systemic inflammation that involves various immune cell types. Monocytes play a central role in promoting and regulating inflammation. Peripheral blood classical monocytes subsequently differentiate into intermediate monocytes and then non-classical monocytes, assuming diverse roles and undergoing changes in their proportions during physiological immune responses and pathological conditions, including SLE. In this study, we obtained the epigenetic and transcriptomic profiles of these three monocyte subsets in an SLE cohort. We found different common and subset-specific alterations. While SLE classical monocytes had a stronger proinflammatory profile with an important interferon influence priming them towards macrophage differentiation, non-classical monocytes had a phenotype related to T cell differentiation regulation, with several indications pointing towards a Th17 promoting behavior. Integration of these bulk datasets with single-cell RNA-seq data of an SLE cohort shed light on the heterogeneity of our monocytes, confirming the interferon signature profile of classical monocytes and pointing towards intermediate and non-classical populations associated with exacerbated complement activation pathways, among others. Our results indicate a subversion of the epigenome and transcriptome in monocyte differentiation toward non-classical subsets in SLE, involving the STAT1 pathway and impacting function in relation to disease activity.

Divergent Epigenetic and Transcriptomic Remodelling during Monocyte Subset Differentiation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus [methylation]

Project description:Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by systemic inflammation that involves various immune cell types. Monocytes are central players in promoting and regulating inflammation. Different monocyte subsets exist and change their proportions during physiological immune responses and under pathological conditions, including SLE, supporting different roles in inflammatory responses. In this study, we obtained the epigenetic and transcriptomic profiles of the three monocyte subsets, classical, intermediate and non-classical monocytes in an SLE cohort. We found different common and subset-specific alterations. While SLE classical monocytes had a stronger proinflammatory profile with an important interferon influence priming them towards macrophage differentiation, non-classical monocytes had a phenotype related to T cell differentiation regulation, with several indications pointing towards a Th17 promoting behavior. Integration of these bulk datasets with single-cell RNA-seq data of an SLE cohort shed light on the heterogeneity of our monocytes, confirming the interferon signature profile of classical monocytes and pointing towards intermediate and non-classical populations associated with exacerbated complement activation pathways, among others. With this analysis, we confirm the differential role of monocyte subsets in the pathogenesis of SLE and give insight into their regulatory mechanisms.

Expression data from a variant monocyte population following dendritc cell depletion

Project description:Ly6C+ ‘classical’ monocytes respond rapidly to inflammation, either directly as effector cells or by differentiating into inflammatory macrophages and dendritic cells (DC). In the absence of DC, elevated levels of serum Flt3L and G-CSF induce a monocytosis although the properties of this expanded population have not been addressed. Here, we show that depletion of DC using the CD11c-DTR model results in rapid and CCR2-independent expansion of a variant population of splenic MHC Class II+ CD64+ Ly6C+ monocytes that are distinct from both circulating blood Ly6C+ monocytes and their tissue counterparts, but resemble Ly6C+ cells mobilized by exogenous G-CSF and Flt3L. The CD64+ Ly6C+ monocyte population is characterized by up-regulation of TLR signalling apparatus and an increased capacity to produce TNF-a following stimulation. Therefore, perturbation within the mononuclear phagocytic system in the absence of inflammation induces an alternative differentiation pathway that drives expansion of monocytes poised for innate immune activation. Monocytes populations were purified from CD11c-DTR mice which were injected with PBS or diphtheria toxin 48 hours previously. Common monocyte progenitors (cMoP) were isolated from untreated C57BL/6 mice. 48 hours after injection of PBS or DT, monocytes were purified from the spleen after collagenase digestion and flow sorted directly into Qiagen RLT buffer. cMoP were purified directly from the bone marrow without digestion enzymes.

Defining Murine Monocyte Differentiation into Colonic and Ileal Macrophages

Project description:Monocytes are circulating short-lived macrophage precursors that are recruited on demand from the blood to sites of inflammation and challenge. In steady state, classical monocytes give rise to vasculature-resident cells that patrol the luminal side of the endothelium. In addition, classical monocytes feed macrophage compartments of selected organs, including barrier tissues, such as the skin and intestine, as well as the heart. Monocyte differentiation under conditions of inflammation has been studied in considerable detail. In contrast, monocyte differentiation under non-inflammatory conditions remains less well understood. Here we took advantage of a combination of cell ablation and precursor engraftment to investigate the generation of gut macrophages from monocytes. Collectively, we identify factors associated with the gradual adaptation of monocytes to tissue residency. Moreover, comparison of monocyte differentiation into the colon and ileum-resident macrophages revealed the graduated acquisition of gut segment-specific gene expression signatures.

Endothelial metabolic transcriptome plasticity in pathological angiogenesis

Project description:Endothelial cell (EC) metabolism is an emerging target for anti-angiogenic therapy in tumor and choroidal neovascularization (CNV), but little is known about individual EC metabolic transcriptomes. Here, by scRNA-sequencing 28,337 murine choroidal ECs (CECs) and sprouting CNV-ECs, we constructed a taxonomy to characterize their heterogeneity. Comparison with murine lung tumor ECs (TECs) revealed congruent marker gene expression by distinct EC phenotypes across tissues and diseases, suggesting similar angiogenic mechanisms. Trajectory inference of CNV-ECs revealed that differentiation of venous to angiogenic ECs was accompanied by metabolic transcriptome plasticity. EC phenotypes displayed metabolic transcriptome heterogeneity. Hypothesizing that conserved genes are more important, we used an integrated analysis, based on congruent transcriptome analysis, CEC-tailored genome scale metabolic modeling, and gene expression meta-analysis in multiple cross-species datasets, followed by functional validation, to identify the top-ranking metabolic targets SQLE and ALDH18A1, involved in EC proliferation and collagen production, respectively, as novel angiogenic targets. The effect of SQLE and ALDH18A1 silencing in ECs was investigated by transcriptomics and proteomics analysis.
