TGFβ primes alveolar-like macrophages to induce type I IFN following TLR2 activation.

ABSTRACT: Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are key mediators of lung function and are potential targets for therapies during respiratory infections. TGFb is an important regulator of AM differentiation and maintenance but, how TGFb directly modulates the innate immune responses of AMs remains unclear. This shortcoming prevents effective targeting of AMs to improve lung function in health and disease. Here we leveraged an optimized ex vivo AM model system, fetal-liver derived alveolar-like macrophages (FLAMs), to dissect the role of TGFb in AMs. Using transcriptional analysis, we first globally defined how TGFb regulates gene expression of resting FLAMs. We found that TGFb maintains the baseline metabolic state of AMs by driving lipid metabolism through oxidative phosphorylation and restricting inflammation. To better understand inflammatory regulation in FLAMs, we next directly tested how TGFb alters the response to TLR2 agonists. While both TGFb (+) and TGFb (-) FLAMs robustly responded to TLR2 agonists, we found an unexpected activation of type I interferon (IFN) responses in FLAMs and primary AMs in a TGFb-dependent manner. Surprisingly, mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein and the interferon regulator factors 3 and 7 were required for IFN production by TLR2 agonists. Together, these data suggest that TGFb modulates AM metabolic networks and innate immune signaling cascades to control inflammatory pathways in AMs.

SARS-CoV-2 Evades immune detection in Alveolar Macrophages

Project description:Respiratory infections, like the current pandemic SARS-CoV-2 virus, target the epithelial cells in the respiratory tract. However, alveolar macrophages (AMs) are tissue-resident macrophages located within the alveoli of the lung and they play a key role in the early phases of an immune response to respiratory infections. We expect that AMs are the first immune cells to encounter the SARS-CoV-2 and therefore their reaction to SARS-CoV-2 infection will have a profound impact upon the outcome of the infection. Interferons (IFNs) are antiviral cytokines and the first cytokine produced upon viral infection. Here, we challenge AMs with SARS-CoV-2 and to our surprise find that the AMs are incapable of recognising SARS-CoV-2 and produce IFN. This is in contrast to respiratory pathogens, such as influenza A virus and Sendai virus. Callenge of AMs with those viruses resulted in a robust IFN response. The absence of IFN production by AMs upon challenge could explain the initial asymptotic phase of SARS-CoV-2 infections and argues against the AMs as the source of proinflamatory cytokines later in infection.

TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma induce CXCL10 from melanoma

Project description:Clinical approaches to treat advanced melanoma include immune therapies, whose benefits depend on tumor-reactive T-cells to infiltrate metastases. However, most tumors lack significant immune infiltration prior to therapy, and some immune therapies are hindered by a persistent lack of immune cell infiltration. CXCL10 has been implicated as a critical chemokine supporting T-cell migration into tumors; thus agents that induce CXCL10 in tumors may improve patient responses to systemic immune therapy. We find that melanoma cells treated with TLR2/6 agonists (MALP-2 or FSL-1) and interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) upregulate CXCL10 production, when compared to IFNgamma treatment alone or no treatment. Gene profiling of melanoma cells lines treated with TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma demonstrate that a selective profile of genes are induced which may be favorable for promoting immune cell infiltration of tumors. TLR2 and TLR6 are widely expressed on human melanoma cells, and treatment of melanoma cells with TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma does not hinder melanoma cell apoptosis or promote proliferation. Furthermore, melanoma cells from surgically resected patient tumors upregulate CXCL10 production after treatment with TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma when compared to treatment with either agent alone. Collectively, these data identify TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma as a novel target for promoting CXCL10 production directly from melanoma cells. Samples from four human melanoma cell lines, VMM1 (n=6), DM13 (n=6), DM93 (n=6) and VMM39 (n=6), were treated with media alone, MALP-2 (TLR2/6 agonist), FSL-1 (TLR2/6 agonist), IFNgamma alone, MALP-2 and IFNgamma, or FSL-1 and IFNgamma.

Human Toll-Like Receptors Pathway Array Data

Project description:Endothelial cell (EC) Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) activation upregulates the expression of inflammatory mediators and of TLR2 itself, and modulates important endothelial functions, including coagulation and permeability. We defined TLR2 signaling pathways in ECs, and tested the hypothesis that TLR2 signaling differs in ECs and monocytes. We found that ERK5, heretofore unrecognized as mediating TLR2 activation in any cell type, is a central mediator of TLR2-dependent inflammatory signaling in HUVEC, primary human lung microvascular ECs and human monocytes. Additionally, we observed that whereas MEK1 negatively regulates TLR2 signaling in EC, MEK1 promotes TLR2 signaling in monocytes. We also noted that activation of TLR2 led to the upregulation of intracellularly expressed TLR2 and inflammatory mediators via NF-M-NM-:B, JNK and p38-MAPK. Finally, we found that p38-MAPK, JNK, ERK5 and NF-M-NM-:B promote the attachment of human neutrophils to lung microvascular EC that were pretreated with TLR2 agonists. This study newly identifies ERK5 as a key regulator of TLR2 signaling in ECs and monocytes, and indicates that there are fundamental differences in TLR signaling pathways between EC and monocytes. qPCR gene expression profiling.

GSK3a/b restrains IFNg-inducible costimulatory molecule expression in alveolar macrophages, limiting CD4+ T cell activation

Project description:Macrophages play a crucial role in eliminating respiratory pathogens. Both pulmonary resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) and recruited macrophages contribute to detecting, responding to, and resolving infections in the lungs. Despite their distinct functions, it remains unclear how these macrophage subsets regulate their responses to infection, including how activation by the cytokine IFNg is regulated. This shortcoming prevents the development of therapeutics that effectively target distinct lung macrophage populations without exacerbating inflammation. We aimed to better understand the transcriptional regulation of resting and IFNg-activated cells using a new ex vivo model of AMs from mice, fetal liver-derived alveolar-like macrophages (FLAMs), and immortalized bone marrow-derived macrophages (iBMDMs). Our findings reveal that IFNg robustly activates both macrophage types; however, the profile of activated IFNg-stimulated genes varies greatly between these cell types. Notably, FLAMs show limited expression of costimulatory markers essential for T cell activation upon stimulation with only IFNg. To understand cell type-specific differences, we examined how the inhibition of the regulatory kinases GSK3a/b alters the IFNg response. GSK3a/b controlled distinct IFNg responses, and in AM-like cells, we found GSK3a/b restrained the induction of type I IFN and TNF, thus preventing the robust expression of costimulatory molecules and limiting CD4+ T cell activation. Together, these data suggest that the capacity of AMs to respond to IFNg is restricted in a GSK3a/b-dependent manner and that IFNg responses differ across distinct macrophage populations. These findings lay the groundwork to identify new therapeutic targets that activate protective pulmonary responses during infection without driving deleterious inflammation.

The Lung Microenvironment Instructs Gene Transcription in Neonatal and Adult Alveolar Macrophages

Project description:Immaturity of alveolar macrophages (AMs) around birth contributes to the susceptibility of newborns to lung disease. However, the molecular features differentiating neonatal and mature, adult AMs are poorly understood. Here we identify the unique transcriptomes and enhancer landscapes of neonatal and adult AMs. While the core AM signature was similar, adult AMs expressed higher levels of genes involved in lipid metabolism, while neonatal AMs expressed a largely proinflammatory gene profile. Open enhancer regions identified by ATAC-seq contained motifs for nuclear receptors, MITF, and STAT in adult AMs and AP-1 and NF-kB in neonatal AMs. Intranasal LPS activated a similar innate immune response in both neonates and adults, with higher basal expression of inflammatory genes in neonates. The lung microenvironment drove many of the distinguishing gene expression and open chromatin characteristics of neonatal and adult AMs. Neonatal AMs retained high expression of some proinflammatory genes, suggesting the differences in neonatal AMs result from both inherent cell properties and environmental influences.

Transciptional profiling of polyIC stimulated alveolar macrophages isolated from naive or SARS-CoV-2 recovered mice

Project description:Pathogen encounter results in long-lasting epigenetic imprinting that shapes diseases caused by heterologous pathogens. The breadth of this innate immune memory is of particular interest in the context of respiratory pathogens with increased pandemic potential and wide-ranging impact on global health. Here, we investigated epigenetic imprinting across cell lineages in a disease relevant murine model of SARS-CoV-2 recovery. Past SARS-CoV-2 infection resulted in increased chromatin accessibility of type I interferon (IFN-I) related transcription factors and transcriptionally poised antiviral genes in alveolar macrophages. Mechanistically, viral pattern recognition and canonical IFN-I signaling were required for establishment of this innate immune memory and resulting augmented secondary antiviral responses. SARS-CoV-2-associated innate immune memory in alveolar macrophages was necessary and sufficient to ameliorate secondary disease caused by the heterologous respiratory pathogen influenza A virus. Insights into how innate immune memory shapes outcome of heterologous secondary diseases could facilitate the development of broadly effective therapeutic strategies.
