Interstitial Macrophage Phenotypes in Schistosoma-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension

ABSTRACT: Schistosomiasis, a prevalent cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH) globally, triggers type 2 inflammation, with interstitial macrophages (IMs) derived from monocytes playing a crucial role. These IMs produce thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), activating TGF-β and driving PH pathology. Two distinct IM subpopulations were identified: resident FOLR2+ IMs expressing monocyte recruitment factors, and recruited CCR2+ IMs expressing TSP-1. Upon exposure to Schistosoma, the CCR2+ subpopulation expanded. Flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing confirmed these findings, revealing crosstalk between IM subpopulations. The resident FOLR2+ IMs increased expression of monocyte recruitment ligands, while the recruited CCR2+ IMs expressed elevated TSP-1, activating TGF-β and contributing to PH. This study provides insights into the complex interplay of IM subpopulations in Schistosoma-induced PH, shedding light on potential therapeutic targets for this global health concern.

Murine Pulmonary Interstitial Macrophage Subsets after Lipopolysaccharide

Project description:We sought to characterize pulmonary interstitial macrophage (IM) origin, subsets, and transcriptomic profiles during homeostasis and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced acute lung inflammation. During homeostasis, we used three complementary methods: spectral flow cytometry, single-cell RNA-sequencing, and gene regulatory network enrichment to demonstrate that IMs can be divided into two core subsets distinguished by surface and transcriptional expression of folate receptor β (Folr2/FRβ). Within FRβ+ IMs we identified a subpopulation marked by co-expression of LYVE1. During acute LPS-induced inflammation, lung IM numbers expand. Lineage tracing revealed IM expansion was due to recruitment of monocyte-derived IMs. At the peak of inflammation, recruited IMs were comprised of two unique subsets defined by expression of genes associated with interferon signaling and glycolytic pathways. As recruited IMs matured, they adopted the overall transcriptional state of FRβ- resident IMs but retained expression in several origin-specific genes. FRβ+ IMs were of near-pure resident origin.

Single-cell RNAseq analysis (10X Genomics Chromium) of refilled lung interstium macrophages at the time points of 12h, 24h and 48h after depletion

Project description:Lung interstitium macrophages (IMs) are non-alveolar resident tissue macrophages which contribute to the lung homeostasis. These cells were reported to be heterogeneous by our group and other teams, which contains two main distinct subpopulations: CD206+ IMs and CD206- IMs. However, the exact origin of IMs and the transcriptional programs that regulate IM differentiation remains unclear. In recent report, we analyzed the refilled IMs in the course of time after induced IM depletion with single-cell RNA sequencing (10X Genomics Chromium) and bulk RNA sequencing. The lung IMs and monocytes from the mice at 12 hours (DT12h), 24 hours (DT24h) and 48 hours (DT48h) after diphtheria toxin (DT)-induced IM depletion were analyzed and compared using single-cell RNA sequencing. A subpopulation was found to be a transit differentiating cells from monocytes to IMs. Transcription factor activity analysis and trajectory showed cMAF and MAFb transcription factors played important roles in monocyte-IM differentiation.

Differential impacts of DNA methylation on pH dependent i-motifs formation in rice [ChIP-seq]

Project description:I-motifs (iMs) are four-stranded non-B DNA structures containing C-rich DNA sequences, which can be formed under various pH conditions. DNA methylation exhibits complex impacts on iM formation in vitro. However, how DNA methylation differentially affects pH dependent iM formation on a genome wide scale is completely uncharacterized in both humans and plants. To this end, we conducted iM-IP-seq under pH 5.5 and 7.0 conditions using CK and hyper/hypomethylated DNA in combination with BS-seq in rice. We found that pH 7.0 and 5.5 biased iMs had distinct genomic features and differential DNA methylation levels, the former having higher DNA methylation levels than the latter. Moreover, DNA demethylation and hyper methylation had more impacts on a subset of iM formation under pH 7.0 and 5.5, respectively, indicating that DNA de/hyper-methylation exhibits pH dependent impacts on iM formation. Importantly, we found that CG hypo-DMRs and CHH hyper-DMRs alone or coordinated with CG/CHG hyper-DMRs may play determinant roles in the regulation of iM formation under pH 5.5 and 7.0. Thus, our study shows that intrinsic DNA sequences alone or in combination with DNA methylation play vital roles in determining pH-dependent formation of iMs. It will contribute to in-depth understanding of DNA methylation in the modulation of pH dependent dynamics of iM conformation, therefore broadening its biological implications and practical application ranges.

Three tissue resident macrophage subsets co-exist across organs with conserved origins and lifecycles

Project description:Resident macrophages orchestrate homeostatic, inflammatory, and reparative activities. It is appreciated that different tissues instruct specialized macrophage functions. However, individual tissues contain heterogeneous subpopulations, and how these subpopulations are related is unclear. We asked whether common transcriptional and functional elements could reveal an underlying framework across tissues. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and random forest modeling, we observed that four genes could predict three macrophage subsets that were present in murine heart, liver, lung, kidney, and brain. Parabiotic and genetic fate mapping studies revealed that these core markers predicted three unique life cycles across 17 tissues. TLF+ (expressing TIMD4 and/or LYVE1 and/or FOLR2) macrophages were maintained through self-renewal with limited monocyte input; CCR2+ (TIMD4−LYVE1−FOLR2−) macrophages were almost entirely replaced by monocytes, and MHC-IIhi macrophages (TIMD4−LYVE1−FOLR2−CCR2−), while receiving modest monocyte contribution, were not continually replaced. Rather, monocyte-derived macrophages contributed to the resident macrophage population until they reached a defined upper limit after which they did not outcompete pre-existing resident populations. TLF+ macrophages were first to emerge in the yolk sac and early fetal organs. Fate mapping studies in the mouse and human single-cell RNA sequencing indicated that TLF+ macrophages originated from both yolk sac and fetal monocyte precursors. Furthermore, TLF+ macrophages were the most transcriptionally conserved subset across mouse tissues and between mice and humans, despite organ- and species-specific transcriptional differences. Here, we define the existence of three murine macrophage subpopulations based on common life cycle properties and core gene signatures, and suggest a common starting point to understand tissue macrophage heterogeneity.

Two distinct interstitial macrophage populations coexist across tissues in unique subtissular niches [lung interstitial]

Project description:Macrophages are a heterogeneous cell population involved in tissue homeostasis, inflammation and in multiple pathologies. Although the major tissue-resident macrophage populations have been extensively studied, interstitial macrophages (IMs) residing within tissue parenchyma remain poorly defined. Here, we studied IMs from murine lung, fat, heart and dermis. We identified two independent IM subpopulations that are conserved across tissues: Lyve1loMHCIIhiCX3CR1hi (Lyve1loMHCIIhi) and Lyve1hiMHCIIloCX3CR1lo (Lyve1hiMHCIIlo) monocyte-derived IMs, with distinct gene expression profiles, phenotypes, functions, and localisation. Using a mouse model of inducible macrophage depletion (SLCO2B1-DTR), we found that the absence of Lyve1hiMHCIIlo IMs exacerbated experimental lung fibrosis. Thus, we demonstrate that two independent populations of IMs exist across tissues and exhibit conserved niche-dependent functional programming.

iMbody - a nanobody for i-Motif research

Project description:i-Motifs (iMs) are four-stranded structures formed by certain cytosine-rich nucleic acids. They may be involved in regulation of cellular processes such as transcription. In addition, the pH dependency of iMs makes them suitable for certain nanobiotechnological applications. Probes that recognize these structures with high specificity and affinity can significantly advance the iM research field. Here we report the generation of an iM specific nanobody (iMbody) and describe its applications for the in vitro characterization of a potential iM-forming oligonucleotide, strand-specific pull-down of iMs present in the human genome at near physiological pH and temperature followed by sequencing, and visualization of iMs in the nuclei of human cells. Utilization of iMbody could be beyond above-mentioned applications and it can be used to investigate iMs in other organisms. The plasmid encoding iMbody for the bacterial expression is available via Addgene (Plasmid #184496).

Single-cell RNAseq analysis (10X Genomics Chromium) of refilled lung interstium macrophages on day 4 after depletion

Project description:Lung interstitium macrophages (IMs) are non-alveolar resident tissue macrophages which contribute to the lung homeostasis. These cells were reported to be heterogeneous by our group and other teams, which contains two main distinct subpopulations: CD206+ IMs and CD206- IMs. However, the exact origin of IMs and the transcriptional programs that regulate IM differentiation remains unclear. In recent report, we analyzed the refilled IMs in the course of time after induced IM depletion with single-cell RNA sequencing (10X Genomics Chromium) and bulk RNA sequencing. The IMs in Day 4 post-depletion were compared to the those without depletion. Results showed that refilled IMs had a lower ratio of CD206+ IM vs CD206- subpopulation comparing to IMs without depletion, but they shared high similarity to each other, indicating that the de novo IM population had been established before Day 4 post-depletion.

Low vascular SOD3 due to reduced tissue binding affects pulmonary interstitial macrophage reprogramming in response to hypoxia

Project description:The extracellular isoform of superoxide dismutase (SOD3) is decreased in patients and animals with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The human R213G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in SOD3 causes its release from tissue extracellular matrix (ECM) into extracellular fluids, without modulating enzyme activity, and increases cardiovascular disease risk in humans and chronic hypoxic PH in mice. Given the importance of interstitial macrophages (IM) to PH pathogenesis, this study aimed to determine whether R213G SOD3 worsens PH via increased IM accumulation and altered reprogramming. R213G mice and wild-type (WT) controls were exposed to hypobaric hypoxia for 4 or 14 days compared to normoxia. Flow cytometry demonstrated a transient increase in IMs at day 4 in both strains. Contrary to our hypothesis, the R213G SNP did not augment IM accumulation. To determine strain differences in the IM reprogramming response to hypoxia, we performed RNAsequencing on IMs isolated at each time point. We found that IMs from R213G mice exposed to hypoxia activated ECM-related pathways and a combination of alternative macrophage and proinflammatory signaling. Furthermore, when compared to WT responses, IMs from R213G mice lacked metabolic remodeling and demonstrated a blunted anti-inflammatory response between the early (day 4) and later (day 14) time points. We confirmed metabolic responses using Agilent Seahorse assays whereby WT, but not R213G, IMs upregulated glycolysis at day 4 that returned to baseline at day 14. Finally, we identify differential regulation of several redox-sensitive upstream regulators that could be investigated in future studies.
