The mRNA-binding protein KSRP limits the inflammatory response of macrophages

ABSTRACT: KH-type splicing regulatory protein (KSRP) is a single-stranded nucleic acid-binding protein with multiple functions. It is known to bind AU-rich motifs within the 3´-untranslated region of mRNA species, which in many cases encode dynamically regulated proteins like cytokines. In the present study, we investigated the role of KSRP for the immunophenotype of macrophages using bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) from wild type (WT) and KSRP-/- mice. RNA sequencing revealed that KSRP-/- BMDM displayed significantly higher mRNA expression levels of genes in-volved in inflammatory and immune responses, particularly type I interferon responses, following LPS stimulation. In line, time kinetics studies revealed increased levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), in-terleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 mRNA in KSRP-/- macrophages after 6 h subsequent to LPS stimulation as compared to WT cultures. On protein level KSRP-/- BMDM displayed higher levels of these cy-tokines after overnight stimulation. Matching results were observed for primary peritoneal mac-rophages of KSRP−/− mice. These showed higher IL-6, Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C-X-C mo-tif chemokine 1 (CXCL1) and CC-chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) protein levels in response to LPS stimulation than the WT controls. As macrophages play a key role in sepsis, the in vivo relevance of KSRP deficiency for cytokine/chemokine production was analyzed in an acute inflammation model. In agreement with our in vitro findings, KSRP-deficient animals showed higher cytokine production upon LPS administration in comparison to WT mice. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that KSRP constitutes as an important negative regulator of cytokine expression in macrophages

Project description:BMDMs or iMACs were generated via differentiation of bone marrow cells or immortalized precursors, respectively, in culture media containing m-CSF for 7 day. Upon differentiation, BMDMs or iMacs were left untreated or stimulated as described below. 1) BMDM WT were stimulated with IFNa, LPS, PGE2, IL-4, IL-10, LPS+PGE2, LPS+IL-4, LPS+IL-10, IFNa+PGE2, IFNa+IL-10: each condition in duplicate. This experiment was performed to investigate transcriptional cross-antagonism in the concomitant presence of pro-inflammatory (LPS or IFNa) and anti-inflammatory stimuli (IL-4, IL-10, or PGE2). 2) BMDM WT were stimulated with LPS, in the presence or absence of PFI-1 (Brd2/4 inhibitor) or SGC-CBP30 (CBP/p300 inhibitor): each condition in triplicate. This experiment was performed to define pro-inflammatory genes dependent or not on chromatin remodeling for their induction. 3) BMDM Mef2C/D proficient (Vav-Cre) or BMDM Mef2C/D KO (obtained by crossing Mef2d-/- Mef2cfl/fl with Vav-Cre mice) were stimulated with LPS, PGE2, or LPS+PGE2: each condition in triplicate. This experiment was performed to investigate the role of MEF2C-D on LPS transcritptional response. 4) BMDM WT were pretreated for 40 minutes with an anti-IL10R antibody or the corresponding isotope control, and then left untreated or stimulated with LPS, PGE2 or LPS+PGE2: each condition in duplicate. This experiment was performed to investigate the crosstalk between IL-10 and PGE2. 5) BMDM WT were left untreated or stimulated with PGE2, LPS, LPS+PGE2, or LPS+PGE2+IFNb. In the latter condition, IFNb was added 1 hour after the beginning of the costimulation: each condition in triplicate. This experiment was performed to asses the impact of PGE2 into the LPS-mediated IFNb induction. 5) MEF2A-deficient iMac clones (D7, A7, A8, C7) and MEF2A-proficient (referred to as wild-type) iMac clones (NE, B3 and D10) were generated via CRISPR/Cas9 and stimulated or not with LPS: each condition in single. This experiment was performed to investigate the role of MEF2A on LPS transcritptional response.
