Project description:Macrophages are innate immune cells characterized by their plasticity and their ability to react to various environmental stimuli. These cells are involved in a multiple number of tissular functions in homeostasis and pathological contexts. According to their environment these cells could be polarized toward different states of activation which determine their functional orientation. A large part of the macrophage biology field is devoted to better define what polarizations are, from a molecular point of view. It is now accepted that a multidimensional model of polarization is needed to grasp the broad phenotype repertoire depending on various environmental signals. Oxygen tension is one of these tissular environmental parameters. We designed this study to obtain a proteomic signature of various polarizations in human monocytes derived macrophages. We also seek to explore how environmental oxygen tension varying from an atmospheric composition (18.6% O2) to a “tissular normoxia” (3% O2) could modify our classification of macrophages’ polarization. We have obtained various polarization specific proteins and oxygen sensors for human macrophages. One example is arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15) which is a IL4/IL13 polarization specific proteins up regulated under low oxygen exposure associated to an increase of the phagocytosis rate of apoptotic cells. These results illustrate the necessity to take into account physicochemical parameters like oxygen when macrophage polarization is studied to correctly assess their functions in tissues.

Project description:The central nervous system normally functions at O2 levels which would be regarded as hypoxic by most other tissues. However, most in vitro studies of neurons and astrocytes are conducted under hyperoxic conditions without consideration of O2-dependent cellular adaptation. We analyzed the reactivity of astrocytes to 1, 4 and 9% O2 tensions compared to the cell culture standard of 20% O2, to investigate their ability to sense and translate this O2 information to transcriptional activity. Variance of ambient O2 tension for rat astrocytes resulted in profound changes in ribosomal activity, cytoskeletal and energy-regulatory mechanisms and cytokine-related signaling. Clustering of transcriptional regulation patterns revealed four distinct response pattern groups that directionally pivoted around the 4% O2 tension, or demonstrated coherent ascending/decreasing gene expression patterns in response to diverse oxygen tensions. Immune response and cell cycle/cancer-related signaling pathway transcriptomic subsets were significantly activated with increasing hypoxia, whilst hemostatic and cardiovascular signaling mechanisms were attenuated with increasing hypoxia. Our data indicate that variant O2 tensions induce specific and physiologically-focused transcript regulation patterns that may underpin important physiological mechanisms that connect higher neurological activity to astrocytic function and ambient oxygen environments. These strongly defined patterns demonstrate a strong bias for physiological transcript programs to pivot around the 4% O2 tension, while uni-modal programs that do not, appear more related to pathological actions. The functional interaction of these transcriptional ‘programs’ may serve to regulate the dynamic vascular responsivity of the central nervous system during periods of stress or heightened activity.

Project description:Hypoxia augments human embryonic stem cell self-renewal via hypoxia-inducible factor 2α (HIF2α) activated OCT4 (POU5F1) transcription. Hypoxia also increases the efficiency of reprogramming differentiated cells to a pluripotent-like state. Combined, these findings suggest that low oxygen (O2) tension would impair the purposeful differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. Here, we show that low O2 tension and HIF activity instead promotes appropriate hESC differentiation. Through gain and loss of function studies, we implicate O2 tension as a modifier of a key cell fate decision, namely whether neural progenitors differentiate towards neurons or glia. Furthermore, our data show that even transient changes in O2 concentration can affect cell fate through HIF by regulating the activity of MYC, a regulator of LIN28/let-7 that is critical for fate decisions in the neural lineage. We also identify key small molecules that can take advantage of this pathway to quickly and efficiently promote the development of mature cell types. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression of human neural progenitor cells (NPC) cultured in physiological (2%) oxygen tension. By comparing NPCs with activated Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) activity (DFX treatment) and NPCs with diminished HIF activity (HIF1β knockdown), we identified genes that are important for NPC fate decision under physiological oxygen concentration. We also used microarrays to obtain a global gene expression profiling during embryoid bodies formation using ES cells with diminished HIF activity.

In HIF activation experiments, two ES lines and one iPS line-derived NPC were used, with or without DFX treatment for 5 days. In HIF1M-NM-2 knockdown experiments, NPCs were derived from either shHIF1M-NM-2 or control ES lines. In embryoid body formation experiments, day0 (ES stage) and day6 EBs were generated from either shHIF1M-NM-2 or control ES lines in 2% oxygen.

Cerebral cortices were removed from 6-8-day-old Wistar rats, cortical astrocytes were isolated and these cells were maintained in a humidified incubator at 37°C (95% air; 5% CO2). This resulted in a culture of cortical astrocytes, as confirmed by visual inspection the following day and later by glial fibrillary acidic protein immunohistochemistry. Any cortical astrocyte culture that was not homogenous was disposed of and not used in this study. Culture medium was exchanged every 7 days and cells were grown in culture for up to 14 days. 24hr prior to experimentation cells were transferred to an hypoxic workstation equilibrated with either 1%, 4%, 9% or 21% O2 and 5% CO2, with the remaining percentage gas being N2. Once cortical astrocytes had reached approximately 90% confluence (75cm2 flask) they were subjected to hypoxia as above, washed with PBS, removed from the flask base with 0.05% trypsin-EDTA (Gibco) and then gently centrifuged (500xg). The cell pellet was re-suspended in PBS, centrifuged twice more to remove any traces of media, then triturated in 8-10 volumes of RNAlater (Applied Biosystems), frozen and stored at -80oC. Messenger RNA was amplified and labeled with biotin using the standard Illumina protocol (Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit Ambion; Austin, TX, cat # IL1791), and hybridized to Illumina's Sentrix Rat Ref-12,v1 Expression BeadChips (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Three replicates from each treatment group (1%, 21%, 4%, and 9% O2) were hybridized and the data was extracted using the Illumina BeadStudio software(v3.4).

Project description:Solid tumors are characterized by significantly lower oxygen (O2) levels. Despite this fact, routine preclinical cancer studies are performed under ambient O2 conditions. We have developed an experimental approach that allows us to collect, process and evaluate cancer and non-cancer cells under physioxia (3-5% O2), in such a way that there is very minimal exposure to air. We have shown in previous studies that ambient and physioxic O2 differentially impact relevant cell surface markers and sensitivity to therapy. In this study, our goal was to further explore oxygen-dependent signaling pathway alterations and to determine how these pathways influence response to targeted therapies. Using cells derived from transgenic mouse mammary tumors and healthy primary human breast epithelial cells, we show the impact of ambient air and physioxia on the kinome, with subsequent pathway alterations that mediate the effectiveness of single and combination therapies. Our data emphasize the importance of O2 considerations in preclinical cancer research and drug development.

We have developed an experimental approach that allows us to collect, process and evaluate cancer and non-cancer cells under physioxia (3-5% O2), in such a way that there is very minimal exposure to air. In addition to evaluating mouse mammary tumor cell lines with respect to kinome changes due to ambient and physioxic O2 tensions, we applied single cell-RNA sequencing to determine transcriptomic changes that occur in primary human breast epithelial cells that were collected, processed and cultured in ambient air and physioxia. We demonstrate that ambient and physioxic O2 tensions induce unique transcriptomic changes in primary human breast epithelial cells that are concurrent with our observations in the tumor cells.
