Project description:SP110b is an interferon (IFN)-induced nuclear protein and may function as a transcriptional co-activator/repressor. IFNγ activates monocytes/macrophages thereby mediating inflammation. However, uncontrolled activation induces monocyte/macrophage cell death, which may cause immunopathology. We have demonstrated that SP110b expression prevented IFNγ-mediated monocyte/macrophage cell death. To explore the molecular mechanisms by which SP110b suppresses IFNγ-induced cell death, we performed a genome-wide microarray analysis to identify genetic determinants associated with IFNγ-induced cell death and regulated by SP110b. We sought to identify genetic determinants associated with IFNγ-induced cell death and regulated by SP110b. To that end, THP1 human monocyte-like cells that could be induced by doxycycline (Dox) to over-express SP110b (THP1-SP110b) were generated and 5 experimental groups of THP1-SP110b cells were harvested for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. The 5 groups are as follows: untreated THP1-SP110b cells as control (CON), cells treated with IFNγ for 2 days (IFN_2D), cells treated with Dox plus IFNγ for 2 days (DoxIFN_2D), cells treated with IFNγ for 4 days (IFN_4D), and cells treated with Dox plus IFNγ for 4 days (DoxIFN_4D).

Project description:To understand the differentiation program in monocyte/macrophage differentiation, we performed ChIP-seq for IRF8 and H3K4me1 together with gene expression profiling during IRF8-induced monocyte differentiation. Both promoter-proximal and -distal binding of IRF8 associated with induction of the genes especially those related to monocytes/macrophages and immunity. DNA motif analysis for cis-regulatory elements of indirect IRF8 target genes predicted KLF4, essential for Ly6C+ monocyte development, to be a downstream transcription factor regulating the indirect target gene expression. Introduction of KLF4 into an Irf8-/- myeloid progenitor cell line induced a subset of IRF8 target genes and partially induced monocyte/macrophage differentiation. Together, this study revealed the genome-wide behavior of IRF8 and the IRF8-KLF4 axis during monocyte differentiation. Gene expressions in monocyte-like cells differentiated by IRF8 or KLF4 were measured at day 4 after retroviral transductions to myeloid progenitor cell line, Tot2. Two independent experiments were performed.

Project description:Monocytes and their lineage descendants serve as a central defense system against infection and injury but if uncontrolled can also promote an excessive pathological inflammatory response. Therefore a current research goal is to understand how the organism controls the number and function of monocytes and how these variables can be tailored in therapy. Considering the evidence that monocytes are heterogeneous and exist in at least two subsets committed to divergent functions, we investigated whether distinct factors regulate the balance between monocyte subset responses in vivo. Here we investigate the differential expression of mRNA among murine steady-state monocyte subsets. Blood was drawn from healthy C57BL/6 donors. For each biological replicate 1000 monocytes of the Ly-6Chi and Ly-6Clo phenotype were isolated from the blood sample through fluorescence activated cell sorting.

Project description:Monocytes and macrophages are central to host defense but also contribute to inflammation-associated pathology. Efforts to manipulate monocyte and macrophage function are limited by our ability to effectively quantify the functional programs of these cells. We identified the gene Fth1, which encodes the Ferritin heavy chain, as highly predictive of alveolar macrophage transcriptomic states during LPS-induced lung inflammation and developed a novel Fth1-mScarlet reporter mouse. In the steady state lung, high Fth1-mScarlet expression is restricted to alveolar macrophages. In response to LPS-induced lung inflammation, Fth1 reporter activity is robustly increased in monocytes, with its expression reporting genes that are differentially expressed in monocytes versus macrophages. Consistent with this reporter associated gene profile, within the Lyz2-GFP+CD11b+Ly6C+ gate the highest Fth1 reporter expression was observed CD11c+ cells, indicative of monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation. While Fth1-mScarlet was induced in monocytes responding to either TLR4 ligation or M-CSF induced macrophage differentiation in vitro, TLR4-dependent expression occurred with greater speed and magnitude. Considering this, we suggest that Fth1-mScarlet expression reports monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation, with increased expression in pro-inflammatory states. Dissecting macrophage differentiation from inflammatory programs will be enhanced when combining Fth1-mScarlet with other reporter systems. Thus, the Fth1-mScarlet model addresses an important lack of tools to report the diverse spectrum of monocyte and macrophage states in vivo.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as novel regulators of macrophage biology and related inflammatory cardiovascular diseases. However, studies focused on lncRNAs in human macrophage subtypes, particularly human lncRNAs that are not conserved in rodents, are limited. Through RNA-seq of human monocyte-derived macrophages, we identified Suppressor of Inflammatory Macrophage Apoptosis lncRNA (SIMALR), a human macrophage-specific long intergenic noncoding RNA, to be highly induced in LPS/IFNγ-stimulated macrophages. Treatment of LPS/IFNγ stimulated THP1 human macrophages with SIMALR antisense oligonucleotides induced apoptosis of inflammatory macrophages, as shown by increased protein expression of cleaved PARP, caspase 9, caspase 3, and Annexin V+. RNA-seq of control versus SIMALR knockdown in LPS/IFNγ-stimulated human monocyte derived macrophages showed NTN1 to be significantly decreased upon SIMALR knockdown. As expected, NTN1 knockdown in LPS/IFNγ-stimulated macrophages induced apoptosis. This apoptotic phenotype was attenuated by adding recombinant NTN1 after SIMALR knockdown. Furthermore, NTN1 promoter-luciferase reporter activity was increased in HEK293T cells treated with lentiviral overexpression of SIMALR. NTN1 promoter activity is known to require HIF1α. RNA immunoprecipitation and microscopy studies suggest that SIMALR may interact with HIF1α to regulate NTN1 transcription, thereby regulating apoptosis of macrophages. In translational studies, SIMALR was found to be expressed in macrophages in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques of symptomatic patients. SIMALR is a non-conserved, human macrophage lincRNA expressed in human atherosclerosis that regulates macrophage apoptosis. SIMALR partners with HIF1α to regulate NTN1, which is a known macrophage survival factor. This work illustrates the importance of interrogating the functions of non-conserved human lincRNAs and exploring their translational and therapeutic potential in human atherosclerosis.

Project description:Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Lesion progression is primarily mediated by cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. Interleukin-17A is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, which modulates immune cell trafficking and is involved inflammation in (auto)immune and infectious diseases. But the role of IL-17A still remains controversial. In the current study we investigated effects of IL-17A on advanced murine and human atherosclerosis, the common disease phenotype in clinical care. 26-weeks old apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apoe-/-) mice were fed a standard chow diet and treated either with IL-17A mAb (n=15) or irrelevant immunoglobulin (n=10) for 16 weeks. Furthermore, essential mechanisms of IL-17A in atherogenesis were studied in vitro. Inhibition of IL-17A markedly prevented atherosclerotic lesion progression (P=0.001) by reducing inflammatory burden and cellular infiltration (P=0.01) and improved lesion stability (P=0.01). In vitro experiments showed that IL-17A plays a role in chemoattractance, monocyte adhesion, sensitization of antigen-presenting cells toward pathogen-derived TLR4 ligands. Also, IL-17A induced a unique transcriptome pattern in monocyte-derived macrophages distinct from known macrophage types. Stimulation of human carotid plaque tissue ex vivo with IL-17A induced a pro-inflammatory milieu and up-regulation of molecules expressed by the IL-17A-induced macrophage subtype. We here show for the first time that functional blockade of IL-17A prevents atherosclerotic lesion progression and induces plaque stabilization in advanced lesions in Apoe-/- mice. The underlying mechanisms involve reduced inflammation and distinct effects of IL-17A on monocyte / macrophage lineage. In addition, translational experiments underline the relevance for the human system. Effects of IL-17A on human monocyte-derived macrophages were assessed (n=2 per group).

Project description:Mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) play a key role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis but also in triggering immunopathology in response to acute microbial stimulation, which induces the recruitment of masses of Ly6Chi monocytes to the gut. The regulators that control monocyte tissue adaptation in the gut remain poorly understood. Interferon Regulatory Factor 5 (IRF5) is a transcription factor previously shown to play a key role in maintaining the inflammatory phenotype of macrophages Here we investigate the impact of IRF5 on the MNP system and physiology of the gut at homeostasis and during inflammation. We demonstrate that IRF5 deficiency has a limited impact on colon physiology at steady state, but ameliorates immunopathology during Helicobacter hepaticus induced colitis. Inhibition of IRF5 activity in MNPs phenocopies global IRF5 deficiency. Using a combination of bone marrow chimera and single cell RNA-sequencing approaches we compare the differentiation trajectories of wild type and IRF5 deficient monocytes in a shared inflammatory environment and demonstrate that IRF5 stipulates a choice in monocyte differentiation towards macrophages. Specifically, IRF5 promotes the generation of pathogenic CD11c+ macrophages and controls the production of inflammatory mediators by these cells. Thus, we identify IRF5 as a key transcriptional controller of pathogenic monocyte differentiation in the gut.
