Maturing Neutrophils of Lower Density Associate with Thrombocytopenia in Puumala Orthohantavirus-Caused Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome - Human samples

ABSTRACT: Puumala orthohantavirus-caused hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (PUUV-HFRS) is characterized by significant neutrophil activation. Neutrophils, the most abundant immune cells in circulation, are equipped to respond rapidly to infections and exhibit a notable heterogeneity. This study aims to identify and characterize different neutrophil subsets in the circulation of PUUV-HFRS patients, focusing on low-density granulocytes (LDGs) and normal density polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs). The study finds that PMNs show activation of antiviral pathways, while circulating LDGs increase following acute PUUV-HFRS. Additionally, PUUV-associated LDGs, primarily immature, likely reflect increased bone marrow neutrophil production. Notably, the frequency of LDGs and a "left shift" in blood are associated with the extent of thrombocytopenia, a hallmark of severe HFRS, suggesting a role for maturing neutrophils in disease pathogenesis. Unlike COVID-19 associated LDGs, PUUV LDGs did not exhibit significant immunosuppressive ability, indicating inherent biological differences in LDG responses based on the causative virus or infection kinetics. RNA sequencing was performed on neutrophils isolated from four cohorts: healthy control PMNs, PUUV-infected PMNs, PUUV-infected CD16- LDGs, and PUUV-infected CD16+ LDGs. The RNA sequencing and subsequent bioinformatics analysis were conducted by the Biomedicum Functional Genomics Unit at the Helsinki Institute of Life Science and Biocenter Finland at the University of Helsinki.

Transcriptomic Profiling of Neutrophils and Low-Density Granulocytes in COVID-19 Patients

Project description:The severity of COVID-19 is linked to excessive inflammation. Neutrophils represent a critical arm of the innate immune response and are major mediators of inflammation, but their role in COVID-19 pathophysiology remains poorly understood. We conducted transcriptomic profiling of neutrophils obtained from patients with mild and severe COVID-19, as well as from non-infected healthy controls. Additionally, low-density granulocytes (LDGs) from patients with severe COVID-19 were included to understand their unique role. Transcriptomic analysis of polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs), consisting mainly of mature neutrophils, revealed a striking type I interferon (IFN-I) gene signature in severe COVID-19 patients, contrasting with mild COVID-19 and healthy controls. LDGs from severe COVID-19 patients exhibited an immature neutrophil phenotype and lacked this IFN-I signature. These findings underscore the crucial role of neutrophil inflammasomes in driving inflammation during severe COVID-19. The study provides insights into the pathological mechanisms of severe COVID-19 and highlights potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Human lupus netting neutrophils induce endothelial damage, infiltrate tissues and expose immunostimulatory molecules

Project description:Our group has proposed that low-density granulocytes (LDGs) play an important role in lupus pathogenesis, as they can damage endothelial cells and synthesize increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines and type I interferons. LDGs have a heightened capacity to synthesize neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs from LDGs display increased levels of bactericidal and immunostimulatory proteins, such as the cathelicidin LL37 and externalize double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Lupus netting LDGs have increased capacity to kill endothelial cells and expose IL-17. Through NETosis, lupus neutrophils stimulate plasmacytoid DCs to synthesize IFN-?. Our results further expand the potential pathogenic role of aberrant lupus neutrophils through a NET-mediated effect. We used microarrays to analyze the gene expression of neutrophils in healthy and lupus patients, and of low-density granulocytes in lupus patients. Human neutrophils and LDGs were isolated from PBMCs. RNA from healthy neutrophils, lupus neutrophils and lupus LDGs was extracted and processed for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Gene expression data from F. tularensis-exposed neutrophils

Project description:We demonstrated recently that both constitutive and FAS-triggered apoptosis of human neutrophils are profoundly impaired by Francisella tularensis, but how this is achieved is largely unknown. To test the hypothesis that changes in neutrophil gene expression contribute to this phenotype, we used human oligonucleotide microarrays to identify differentially regulated genes in cells infected with F. tularensis strain LVS compared with uninfected controls. In order to examine the effect of F. tularensis on the neutrophil transcriptome, we performed microarray expression analysis on human neutrophils treated with F. tularensis subsp. holarctica live vaccine strain (LVS). Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were isolated from the blood of healthy donors. Control and F. tularensis-exposed PMNs were incubated at 37C for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours.

Transcriptome analysis of CD16/CD62L neutrophil subsets during human experimental endotoxemia

Project description:During systemic inflammation, different neutrophil subsets are mobilized to the blood circulation. These neutrophil subsets can be distinguished from normal circulating neutrophils (CD16bright/CD62Lbright) based on either an immature CD16dim/CD62Lbright or a CD16bright/CD62Ldim phenotype. Interestingly, the latter neutrophil subset is known to suppress lymphocyte proliferation ex vivo, but the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. We performed transcriptome analysis on the different neutrophil subsets to identify changes that are relevant for their functions. Neutrophil subsets were isolated by FACS sorting from the blood of healthy volunteers who were administered a single dose of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The transcriptome was determined by microarray. The mobilized neutrophil subsets were characterized by specific transcriptome profiles reflecting their phase in neutrophil lifespan. Interestingly, the CD16bright/CD62Ldim suppressive neutrophils showed an interferon-induced transcriptome profile. This was confirmed by stimulation of peripheral neutrophils with IFNgamma. These cells acquired the capacity to suppress lymphocyte proliferation through the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1). These data demonstrate that the suppressive phenotype of the neutrophil subset is induced by IFNgamma. Specific stimulation of neutrophils might have a pivotal role in regulating lymphocyte-mediated inflammation and autoimmune disease. After LPS infusion, blood was taken at t=0 and t=4 hours. Neutrophils were FACS sorted based on CD16 and CD62L expression. Gene expression of neutrophil subsets was assessed relative to t=0 as control.

Transcriptomic Profiling of Neutrophils in SARS-CoV-2 Infected Mice

Project description:The severity of COVID-19 is linked to excessive inflammation. Neutrophils represent a critical arm of the innate immune response and are major mediators of inflammation, but their role in COVID-19 pathophysiology remains poorly understood. We conducted transcriptomic profiling of neutrophils obtained from SARS-CoV-2 infected mice, in comparison to non-infected healthy controls. In addition, we investigated the inflammasome formation potential in neutrophils from mice upon SARS-CoV-2 infection. Transcriptomic analysis of polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs), consisting mainly of mature neutrophils, revealed a striking type I interferon (IFN-I) gene signature in infected mice. Furthermore, IFN-I emerged as a priming stimulus for neutrophil inflammasomes, which was confirmed in a COVID-19 mouse model. These findings underscore the crucial role of neutrophil inflammasomes in driving inflammation during severe COVID-19. Altogether, these findings open promising avenues for targeted therapeutic interventions to mitigate the pathological processes associated with the disease.

Transcription profiling of neutrophils exposed to S. aureus infection

Project description:Neutrophil lysis after phagocytosis is a process potentially important in the pathogenesis of community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. The mechanism for this process is not currently known. Therefore, to better understand CA-MRSA virulence we used human oligonucleotide microarrays to investigate the mechanism underlying enhanced PMN lysis that occurs after phagocytosis of CA-MRSA. In order to examine the effect of S. aureus on the neutrophil transcriptome and to elucidate any possible differences in this effect between hospital- and community-associated S. aureus, we performed microarray expression analysis on human neutrophils treated with hospital- and community-associated S. aureus. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were isolated from the blood of healthy donors. Control and S. aureus-exposed PMNs were incubated at 37C for 1, 2, 3 or 6 hours.

Phenotypic changes in PMN from production to site of infecction

Project description:Neutrophils, key cells of the innate immune system, are responsible for preventing bacterial infections. It has recently been established that neutrophils are capable of complex changes in gene expression during inflammation. The concept that neutrophils merely respond to external signals has been replaced by the concept that activated neutrophils can secrete a variety of cytokines and also have an active regulatory role in angiogenesis and tumoural fate. Currently, neutrophil research relies mostly in animal models that reproduce human physiology and pathology. Although, in many respects, there is a conservation of functions in mice and humans, little is known about genomic conservation of neutrophils between mice and humans. We hypothesize that neutrophils are transcriptionally active cells that alters their gene expression profile as they migrate into different compartments. To identify changes in neutrophil gene expression in the circulation and inflamed tissue we used recent advances in neutrophil isolation, RNA amplification and microarray technologies that allowed us to compare the transcriptome of neutrophils. Additionally, using bioinformatics, we investigate the genomic conservation of neutrophils between mice and humans. Total RNA obtained from isolated neutrophils from Bone Marrow, Blood and Peritoneal Exudate from Black 6 mice.
