Altered DNA methylation underlies monocyte dysregulation and immune exhaustion memory in sepsis [CUT&RUN]

ABSTRACT: Innate immune memory is the process by which pathogen exposure elicits cell-intrinsic states to alter the strength of future immune challenges. Such altered memory states drive monocyte dysregulation during sepsis, promoting pathogenic behavior characterized by pro-inflammatory, immunosuppressive gene expression and emergency hematopoiesis. Epigenetic changes, notably via histone modifications, have been shown to underlie innate immune memory, but the contribution of DNA methylation remains poorly understood. Using an ex vivo sepsis model, we discovered broad changes in DNA methylation throughout the genome of exhausted monocytes, including at several genes implicated in immune dysregulation during sepsis and Covid-19 infection (e.g. Plac8). Methylome reprogramming is driven in part by Wnt signaling inhibition in exhausted monocytes, and can be reversed with DNA methyltransferase inhibitors, Wnt agonists, or immune training molecules. These changes are recapitulated in septic mice following cecal slurry injection, supporting the involvement of DNA methylation in acute and long-term monocyte dysregulation during sepsis.

Alleviation of monocyte exhaustion by BCG derivative mycolic acid

Project description:Monocyte exhaustion characterized by sustained pathogenic inflammatory and immune-suppressive features underlies the pathogenesis of sepsis induced by systemic polymicrobial infections. However, effective strategies in blocking monocyte exhaustion and restoring innate homeostasis are currently not available. In this study, we found that Methoxy-Mycolic Acid (M-MA), a branched mycolic acid derived from Mycobacterium Bovis Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG), to be a potent agent in alleviating monocyte exhaustion and restoring immune homeostasis. Co-treatment of monocytes with M-MA can effectively block the expansion of exhausted Ly6Chi /CD38hi/PD-L1hi monocytes induced by repetitive LPS challenges, and restore the expression of immune-enhancing CD86 on co-treated monocytes. Functionally, M-MA treatment restored mitochondrial functions of exhausted monocytes and alleviated their suppressive activities on co-cultured T cells. Mechanistically, M-MA exerts its protective effects independent of cellular receptor TREM2, and relieves cellular stress signaling through blocking Src-STAT1 mediated pathogenic inflammatory polarization as well as reducing the production of compensatory immune suppressors TAX1BP1 and PLAC8. Our whole genome methylation analyses further revealed that M-MA can effectively erase methylation memory of exhausted monocytes, with validated restoration of plac8 methylation by M-MA. Together, our data reveal M-MA as a potent agent in restoring monocyte homeostasis with future therapeutic potential for the treatment of sepsis.

Epigenetic and transcriptomic remodeling in monocytes of severe COVID-19 patients mirrors systemic changes in cytokines and immune cell crosstalk

Project description:COVID-19 manifests with a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes ranging from asymptomatic and mild to severe and critical. Severe and critical COVID-19 patients are characterized by a marked dysregulation in the myeloid compartment, especially monocytes; however, little is known about the epigenetic regulation of these cells in relation to hyperinflammatory responses in severe COVID-19 patients. In this study, we obtained the DNA methylome and transcriptome of monocytes from severe COVID-19 patients. We observed drastic DNA methylation changes encompassing impairment of type-I interferons (IFN), antigen presentation functions among others, in concordance with gene expression changes supporting the relevance of DNA methylation alterations in the dysregulation of the myeloid compartment. These changes were similar to those occurring in bacterial sepsis, although specific functions resulting from viral infection were also identified. Also, a progressive relationship of DNA methylation alterations and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was found related with IFNγ production and T-helper 1 cell cytokine production. Analysis of the single cell transcriptomes of other immune cell types allowed inferring dysregulation of communication between monocytes and other cell types like NK cells, plasma B cells and T cells, which can partly explain monocyte epigenome dysregulation, perpetuating a dysregulated response in these patients.

Epigenetic regulation of monocyte heterogeneity

Project description:Human monocytes are a heterogeneous cell population consisting of three subsets: classical CD14++CD16-, intermediate CD14++CD16+ and nonclassical CD14+CD16++ monocytes. Intermediate monocytes contribute to inflammation, and their circulating cell counts are increased in many chronic inflammatory diseases, even though the underlying pathways are poorly characterized. We tested in how far epigenetic mechanisms regulate human monocytes heterogeneity in chronic kidney disease, which is a proinflammatory condition of substantial epidemiological importance. By applying next-generation Methyl-Sequencing (Methyl-Seq) we characterized genome-wide DNA methylation within the three monocyte subsets and analyzed the impact of uremia on DNA methylation in differentiating monocytes. We found that each monocyte subset displays a unique phenotype with regards to DNA methylation. Genes with differentially methylated promoter regions in intermediate monocytes were linked to distinct immunological processes, which is in line with results from recent gene expression analyses. In vitro, uremia induced a dysregulation of DNA methylation in differentiating monocytes which affected several transcription factors important for monocyte differentiation (e.g. FLT3, HDAC1, MNT) and led to enhanced generation of intermediate monocytes. As a potential mediator, the uremic toxin and DNA methylation inhibitor S-Adenosylhomocysteine induced shifts in monocyte subsets in vitro, and associated with monocyte subset counts in vivo. In summary, our data support the concept of monocyte trichotomy and the distinct role of intermediate monocytes in human immunity. The shift in monocyte subsets which occurs in chronic kidney disease, a proinflammatory condition of substantial epidemiological impact, may be induced by the accumulation of specific uremic toxins that mediate epigenetic dysregulation.

Transcriptome analysis of blood monocytes from sepsis patients

Project description:Blood monocytes serve as the first line of host defense and are equipped to recognize and respond to infection by triggering an immune-inflammatory response. While most information on these cells comes from in vitro studies in humans or in vivo studies in mice, little is known about monocytes under human disease conditions. We investigated the role of monocytes during sepsis and its resolution in humans. A transcriptomal and functional analysis of blood monocytes from patients during gram negative sepsis and at recovery was performed. Monocytes from sepsis patients showed upregulation of a large number of pro-inflammatory genes and cytokines/chemokines, consistent with an ongoing systemic inflammation. However, these cells showed impairment to ex vivo endotoxin (LPS) challenge, displaying a quantitative decrease in the number of LPS-inducible genes. Moreover, they downregulated the expression of several pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokine genes, activation marker genes and transcription factors associated with monocyte/macrophage activation, upon ex vivo LPS stimulation. Functionally, they downregulated expression of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines and antigen presentation-related molecules and functions. In contrast, genes and functions related to phagocytosis, anti-microbial activity and tissue remodeling where remained unaffected or even enhanced . Collectively, our observations suggest a genetic and functional re-programming of these cells during human sepsis progression. Understanding the molecular mechanisms which regulate this re-programming will allow to devise strategies which could modulate the response of these cells and hence, disease progression. Blood monocytes from gram-negative sepsis patients during sepsis (Sepsis) and following their recovery (Recovery/Basal) as well as healthy donor (control) were isolated. Thereafter, these cells were treated ex vivo with or without LPS for 3h and analysed for transcriptomic study.

RNA-sequencing of neonatal monocyte responses to E. coli and S. epidermidis

Project description:Newborns, particularly those born prematurely, are extremely vulnerable to sepsis and this has been attributed to ‘immature’ innate monocyte defences. Predominant pathogens include Escherichia. coli and Staphylococcus. epidermidis but no studies have assessed global transcriptional responses of neonatal monocytes to live sepsis-causing bacteria. Here, we aimed to identify and characterise the common and pathogen-specific, neonatal monocyte transcriptional responses to E. coli and S. epidermidis to better understand early life innate immune responses. RNA-sequencing was performed on purified cord blood monocytes from very preterm (<32 weeks gestational age, GA) and term infants (37-40 weeks GA) following standardised challenge with live S. epidermidis or E. coli.
