Gpnmb and Spp1 mark a conserved macrophage injury response masking fibrosis-specific programming in the lung

ABSTRACT: Macrophages are required for healthy repair of the lungs following injury, but they are also implicated in driving dysregulated repair with fibrosis. How these two distinct outcomes of lung injury are mediated by different macrophage subsets is unknown. To assess this, single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on lung macrophages isolated from mice treated with lipopolysaccharide or bleomycin. Macrophages were categorized based on anatomic location (airspace versus interstitium), developmental origin (embryonic versus recruited monocyte-derived), time after inflammatory challenge, and injury model. Analysis of the integrated dataset revealed that macrophage subset clustering was driven by macrophage origin and tissue compartment rather than injury model. Gpnmb-expressing recruited macrophages that were enriched for genes typically associated with fibrosis were present in both injury models. Analogous GPNMB-expressing macrophages were identified in datasets from both fibrotic and non-fibrotic lung disease in humans. We conclude that this subset represents a conserved response to tissue injury and is not sufficient to drive fibrosis. Beyond this conserved response, we identified that recruited macrophages failed to gain resident-like programming during fibrotic repair. Overall, fibrotic versus non-fibrotic tissue repair is dictated by dynamic shifts in macrophage subset programming and persistence of recruited macrophages.

Induction of a distinct macrophage population and protection from lung injury and fibrosis by Notch2 blockade [Ipt]

Project description:Macrophages are pleiotropic and diverse cells that populate all tissues of the body. Besides tissue-specific resident macrophages such as alveolar macrophages, Kupffer cells and microglia, multiple organs harbor at least two subtypes of other resident macrophages at steady state. During certain circumstances, like tissue insult, additional subtypes of macrophages are recruited to the tissue from the monocyte pool. Recently, a recruited macrophage population marked by expression of Spp1, Cd9, Gpnmb, Fabp5, and Trem2 has been described in several models of organ injury and cancer, and linked to fibrosis in mice and humans. Here, we show that Notch2 blockade, given systemically or locally, leads to an increase in this putative pro-fibrotic macrophage in the lung and that this macrophage state can only be adopted by monocytically derived cells and not resident alveolar macrophages. Unexpectedly, using a bleomycin and COVID19 model of lung injury and fibrosis, we find that the expansion of these macrophages before lung injury does not promote fibrosis but rather appears to ameliorate it. This suggests that these damage-associated macrophages are not by themselves drivers of fibrosis in the lung.

Single cell RNA sequencing suggested that the newly arising population derived from monocytes when Notch2 blockade was systemic or derived from alveolar macrophages when Notch2 blockade was local. Unexpectedly, using a bleomycin and COVID19 model of lung injury and fibrosis, we found that the expansion of these macrophages before lung injury ameliorated rather than promoted fibrosis. This suggests that these damage-associated macrophages are not drivers of fibrosis in the lung.

Gene network analysis of interstitial macrophages after treatment with induced pluripotent stem cells secretome (iPSC-cm) in the bleomycin injured rat lung

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a complex disease involving various cell types. Macrophages are essential in maintenance of physiological homeostasis, wound repair and fibrosis in the lung. Macrophages play a crucial role in repair and remodeling by altering their phenotype and secretory pattern in response to injury. The secretome of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-cm) attenuates injury and fibrosis in bleomycin injured rat lungs. In the current study, we evaluate the effect of iPSC-cm on interstitial macrophage gene expression and phenotype in bleomycin injured rat lungs in vivo. Â iPSC-cm was intratracheally instilled 7 days after bleomycin induced lung injury and assessed 7 days later and single cell isolation was performed. Macrophages were FACS sorted and microarray analysis was performed. We characterized changes in the rat lung interstitial macrophages using transcriptional profiling.

Self-renewing resident cardiac macrophages limit adverse remodeling following myocardial infarction

Project description:Mononuclear phagocytes promote injury and repair following myocardial infarction but discriminating functions within mixed populations remains challenging. We utilized fate mapping and single cell RNA-sequencing to delineate fate specification trajectories of heterogeneous cardiac macrophage subpopulations. In steady state, TIMD4 expression tracked with a dominant resident cardiac macrophage subset that persisted via in situ self-renewal with minimal monocyte input. Following ischemic injury, monocytes displayed significant plasticity, ultimately adopting transcriptional states similar to resident macrophages, but also multiple unique states. Ischemic injury reduced resident macrophage abundance within infarct tissue, and despite transcriptional similarity, TIMD4 expression distinguished resident from recruited macrophages. Specific lineage-based depletion of resident cardiac macrophages resulted in depressed cardiac function and adverse remodeling primarily within the peri-infarct zone, the only region of the myocardium where resident macrophages expanded numerically following injury. Together, these data highlight a non-redundant, cardioprotective role of resident cardiac macrophages, and the diverse transcriptional fates recruited monocytes can adopt.

Macrophages directly contribute collagen to scar formation during zebrafish heart regeneration and mouse heart repair

Project description:Canonical roles for macrophages in mediating the fibrotic response after a heart attack (myocardial infarction) include turnover of the extracellular matrix and activation of cardiac fibroblasts to initiate collagen deposition. Here we reveal through studying the functional kinetics of fibrosis during zebrafish heart regeneration and mouse heart repair that macrophages can directly contribute collagen to the forming scar. Unbiased transcriptomics revealed an up-regulation of collagen isoforms in both zebrafish and mouse macrophages following injury. Adoptive transfer of macrophages from collagen-tagged transgenic zebrafish and splenic monocyte-derived macrophages from adult mouse GFPtpz-collagen donors, enhanced scar formation and induced fibrosis, respectively, via cell autonomous production of collagen. In zebrafish, macrophage-specific targeting of collagen 4a binding protein and cognate collagen 4a1 followed by transfer led to significantly reduced scarring in cryo-injured hosts. These findings contrast with the current model of scarring whereby collagen deposition is exclusively attributed to myofibroblasts, and implicate macrophages as direct contributors to fibrosis during heart repair.

The Anti-Fibrotic Drug Nintedanib Promotes Expansion of Lung Macrophages with a Distinct Transcriptional Repair Program in Bleomycin-Exposed Mice

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressing chronic and fibrotic lung response with poor prognosis. The current standard-of-care for IPF is the kinase inhibitor nintedanib, which has a broad target range. The mechanism of nintedanib’s action remains unclear as it inhibits diverse kinases expressed in lung epithelia, endothelia and putatively the immune populations distributed throughout the lung. Given the proposed role of multiple pulmonary macrophage populations in mediating both protective and pathogenic roles in lung fibrosis, we sought to identify repair-associated macrophage populations in mice influenced by nintedanib after bleomycin challenge for 7 and 14 days using single cell RNA sequencing. Bleomycin exposure triggered expansion of inflammatory MHCIIhigh macrophage populations, which was partially reversed after nintedanib treatment. Concurrently, nintedanib promoted the expansion of MHCIIlow macrophages, which were linked to attenuation of lung fibrosis. Concomitantly, nintedanib promoted an increased expression of mRNA for canonical macrophage repair markers in MHCIIlow macrophages. Finally, exposure of inflammatory macrophages to nintedanib in vitro resulted in attenuation of expression of transcripts for MCHII. In conclusion, a component of nintedanib’s protective mode of action in lung fibrosis relies on expanding distinct MHCIIlow macrophage populations and redirecting them toward a reparative phenotype. This study provides a rationale for further refinement of therapeutic kinase inhibition in fibrotic diseases.

Myeloid PFKFB3-mediated glycolysis promotes kidney fibrosis

Project description:Excessive renal fibrosis is a common pathology in progressive chronic kidney diseases. Inflammatory injury and aberrant repair processes contribute to the development of kidney fibrosis. Myeloid cells, particularly monocytes/macrophages, play a crucial role in kidney fibrosis by releasing their proinflammatory cytokines and extracellular matrix components such as collagen and fibronectin into the microenvironment of the injured kidney. Numerous signaling pathways have been identified in relation to these activities. However, the involvement of metabolic pathways in myeloid cell functions during the development of renal fibrosis remains understudied. In our study, we initially reanalyzed single-cell RNA sequencing data of renal myeloid cells from Dr. Denby’s group and observed an increased glycolytic pathway in myeloid cells that are critical for renal inflammation and fibrosis. To investigate the role of myeloid glycolysis in renal fibrosis, we utilized a model of unilateral ureteral obstruction in mice deficient of Pfkfb3, an activator of glycolysis, in myeloid cells (Pfkfb3ΔMϕ) and their wild type littermates (Pfkfb3WT). We observed a significant reduction in fibrosis in the obstructive kidneys of Pfkfb3ΔMϕ mice compared to Pfkfb3WT mice. This was accompanied by a substantial decrease in myeloid cell infiltration, as well as a decrease in the numbers of M1 and M2 macrophages and suppression of macrophage to obtain myofibroblast phenotype in the obstructive kidneys of Pfkfb3ΔMϕ mice. Mechanistic studies indicate that glycolytic metabolites stabilize HIF1α, leading to alterations in macrophage phenotypes that contribute to renal fibrosis. In conclusion, our study implicates that targeting myeloid glycolysis represents a novel approach to inhibit renal fibrosis.

Spatiotemporal characterization of the cellular and molecular contributors to liver fibrosis in a murine hepatotoxic-injury model

Project description:The interplay between the inflammatory infiltrate and tissue resident cell populations (e.g. epithelial cells, fibroblasts and macrophages) invokes fibrogenesis. However, the temporal and mechanistic contributions of these cell populations to fibrosis remain poorly defined. To address this issue, liver inflammation, ductular reaction (DR) and fibrosis were induced in C57BL/6 mice by thioacetamide (TAA) administration for up to 12 weeks. TAA treatment induced two phases of liver fibrosis. A rapid peri-central inflammatory infiltrate enriched in F4/80+ monocytes co-localized with SMA+ myofibroblasts resulted in early collagen deposition, marking the start of an initial fibrotic phase (1-6 weeks). An expansion of bone marrow derived macrophages proceeded a second phase, characterized by accelerated progression of fibrosis (> 6 weeks) followed the migration of the DR from the portal tracts to the centrilobular site of injury, in association an increase in DR/macrophage interactions. Although CCL2 mRNA was rapidly induced in response to TAA, CCL2 deficiency only partially abrogated fibrosis. In contrast, CSF-1R blockade diminished CCR2neg (Ly6Clo) monocytes, attenuated the DR and significantly reduced fibrosis, illustrating the critical role of CSF-1 dependent monocyte/macrophage differentiation and linking the two phases of injury. We demonstrate that in response to liver injury, CSF-1 drives early monocyte mediated myofibroblast activation and collagen deposition, subsequent macrophage differentiation and their association with the advancing DR, the formation of fibrotic septa and the progression of liver fibrosis to cirrhosis.

Macrophages directly contribute collagen to scar formation during zebrafish heart regeneration and mouse heart repair

Project description:The adult mammalian heart heals after myocardial infarction (MI) by deposition of scar tissue, leading to downstream arrhythmia, remodelling and heart failure1. In contrast, adult zebrafish and neonatal mouse hearts are capable of regenerating after injury. Macrophages are key mediators of tissue repair and appear to be required for both regeneration and healing by scar formation, but the mechanisms underlying these distinct roles are poorly understood2-4. Here we investigated how macrophages differentially influence the mode of repair by determining their responses in scar-free versus scar-induced healing, comparing ventricular resection with cryo-injured adult zebrafish hearts and neonatal versus adult mouse hearts after MI. Unbiased transcriptomics revealed molecular programmes implicating macrophages in the initiation and resolution of inflammation to dictate the kinetics of scarring during zebrafish regeneration and the activation of direct and indirect pathways to drive fibrosis in the adult mouse heart. Most notably we observed up-regulation of collagen isoforms in both zebrafish and mouse macrophages following injury. Adoptive transfer of macrophages, from resected zebrafish hearts into cryo-injured hosts and splenic monocyte-derived macrophages from adult mouse donors into neonatal hearts, enhanced scar formation and induced fibrosis, respectively, via cell autonomous production of collagen. In zebrafish, macrophage-specific targeting of collagen 4a binding protein and cognate collagen 4a1 followed by transfer led to significantly reduced scarring in cryo-injured hosts, as further evidence of a direct macrophage contribution to collagen deposition and scar formation. These findings contrast with the current model of scarring, whereby collagen is laid down exclusively by myofibroblasts, and implicate macrophages as critical regulators of heart repair.

Immune stimulation recruits a subset of pro-regenerative macrophages to the retina that promotes axonal regrowth of injured neurons

Project description:The multifaceted nature of neuroinflammation is highlighted by its ability to both aggravate and promote neuronal health. While in mammals retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are unable to regenerate following injury, acute inflammation can induce axonal regrowth. However, the nature of the cells, cellular states and signalling pathways that drive this inflammation-induced regeneration have remained elusive. Here, we investigated the functional significance of macrophages during RGC de- and regeneration, by characterizing the inflammatory cascade evoked by optic nerve crush (ONC) injury, with or without local inflammatory stimulation in the vitreous. By combining single-cell RNA sequencing and fate mapping approaches, we elucidated the response of retinal microglia and recruited monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) to RGC injury. Importantly, inflammatory stimulation recruited large numbers of MDMs to the retina, which exhibited long-term engraftment and promoted axonal regrowth. Ligand-receptor analysis highlighted a subset of recruited macrophages that exhibited expression of pro-regenerative secreted factors, which were able to promote axon regrowth via paracrine signalling. Our work reveals how inflammation may promote CNS regeneration by modulating innate immune responses, providing a rationale for macrophage-centred strategies for driving neuronal repair following injury and disease.
