Characterization of Arginase Expression in Glioma-Associated Microglia and Macrophages

ABSTRACT: Microglia (MG) and macrophages (MPs) represent a significant component of the inflammatory response to gliomas. When activated, MG/MP release a variety of pro-inflammatory cytokines, however, they also secrete anti-inflammatory factors that limit their cytotoxic function. The balance between pro and anti-inflammatory functions dictates their antitumor activity. To evaluate potential variations in MG and MP function in gliomas, we isolated these cells (and other Gr1+ cells) from intracranial GL261 murine gliomas by FACS and evaluated their gene expression profiles by microarray analysis. As expected, arginase 1 (Arg1, M2 marker) was highly expressed by tumor-associated Gr1+, MG and MP. However, in contrast to MP and Gr1+ cells that expressed Arg1 shortly after tumor trafficking, Arg1 expression in MG was delayed and occurred in larger tumors. Interestingly, depletion of MPs in tumors did not prevent MG polarization, suggesting direct influence of tumor-specific factors on MG Arg1 upregulation. Finally, Arg1 expression was confirmed in human GBM samples, but most Arg1+ cells were neutrophils and not MPs. These findings confirm variations in tumor MG and MP polarization states and its dependency on tumor microenvironmental factors.

A novel oral arginase 1/2 inhibitor enhances the antitumor effect of PD-1 inhibition in murine experimental gliomas by altering the immunosuppressive environment.

Project description:Malignant gliomas are common and aggressive primary brain tumors which are incurable by conventional therapies. Immunotherapy with the immune checkpoint inhibitors is not effective due to the highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Clinical and experimental data show upregulation of Arginase1 (ARG1) expression in rodent and human malignant gliomas. The elevated ARG1 activity leads to depletion of L-arginine required for proliferation of T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. Inhibition of ARG1 in TME may unblock T cell proliferation and activate effective antitumor responses. To explore an antitumor potential of ARG1 inhibition, first we analyzed bulk and single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from human and murine gliomas, and found upregulation of ARG1 expression in malignant gliomas, both in tumor cells and in tumor infiltrating microglia, monocytes/macrophages. We employed the novel, selective arginase inhibitor - OAT-1746 to interfere with microglia-induced glioma invasion in microglia-glioma co-cultures. We determined its antitumor efficacy as a monotherapy and in combination with immunotherapy. In a Matrigel invasion assay OAT-1746 blocked microglia-dependent invasion of U87-MG and LN18 glioma cells better than reference compounds, without affecting cell viability. OAT-1746 effectively crossed the BBB and increased arginine levels in brains of GL261 glioma bearing mice. The compound reduced glioma growth and increased antitumor effects of the anti-PD-1 antibody. Treatment with OAT-1746 modified TME as demonstrated by profound transcriptomic changes visualized by RNA sequencing. Our findings provide the evidence that inhibition of ARG1 in tumor cells and myeloid cells in TME abolishes the immunosuppressive reprograming of myeloid cells and improves the efficacy of immunotherapy.

Platelets direct monocytes differentiation into multinucleated giant foam cells with suppressive response to mycobacterial stimulus

Project description:Co-culture of platelets with monocytes induces the forming of multinucleated giant foam cells (MP-Mac or MP-MNGCs). Compared with normal monocyte differentiated macrophages (M-Mac), the MP-MNGCs can engulf more mycobacteria with suppressed inflammatory responses (releasing more IL-10 with less TNF-gamma). Microarray analysis demonstrated that the MP-MNGCs greatly up-regulated CXCL5, PPBP, NT5E, PDPN, CXCL3 and other M2 related genes, such as ARG1, CXCL1, CD163, etc. GO analysis revealed higher cluster of genes in response to wounding and nuclear division. Immunohistochemistry studies indicated similar high expression of IL-10, CXCL5, CXCL3, PDPN and ARG1 expression in MNGCs of TB granuloma, which indicated that phagocytosis of activated platelets by monocytes might be involved in pathogenesis of TB granuloma. Microarray experiments were performed as dual-color hybridizations. To compensate for dye-specific effects, a dye-reversal color-swap was applied. Quality control and quantification of total RNA amount was assessed using an Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies) and a NanoDrop 1000 spectrophotometer (Kisker).

Perilipin 2-positive mononuclear phagocytes accumulate in diabetic retina and promote PPARγ-dependent vasodegeneration

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), characterized by hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia leads to non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). NPDR is associated with blood-retinal barrier disruption, plasma exudates, microvascular degeneration, elevated inflammatory cytokine levels and monocyte (Mo) infiltration. Whether and how the diabetes-associated changes in plasma lipid and carbohydrate levels modify Mo differentiation. Here, we show that mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) in areas of vascular leakage in DR donor retinas express PLIN2, a marker of intracellular lipid load. Strong upregulation of PLIN2 was also observed when healthy donor Mos were treated with plasma from T2DM patients or with palmitate concentrations typical of T2DM plasma, but not under high glucose conditions. PLIN2 expression correlated with the expression of other key genes involved in lipid metabolism (ACADVL, PDK4) and the DR biomarkers ANGPTL4 and CXCL8. Mechanistically, we show that lipid-exposed MPs induce capillary degeneration in ex vivo explants, which was inhibited by pharmaceutical inhibition of PPARγ signaling. Our study provides a novel mechanism linking dyslipidemia-induced MP polarization to the increased inflammatory cytokine levels and microvascular degeneration that characterize NPDR. This study provides comprehensive insights into the glycemia-independent activation of Mos in T2DM and identifies MP PPARγ as a target to inhibit lipid-activated MPs in DR

Human and murine transcriptome profiling identifies cross-species homology in pulmonary mononuclear phagocytes [DCs and Monocytes]

Project description:The mononuclear phagocyte (MP) system consists of macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells. MP subtypes play distinct functional roles in steady-state and inflammatory conditions. Though murine MPs are well characterized, their human homologues remain poorly understood, particularly in the lung and draining lymph nodes (LNs). Understanding these homologies, and their similarities and differences with murine MPs, is critical for identifying human genetic targets and thus developing human immunotherapies. To address this gap, we performed transcriptome-based alignment across fifteen distinct human and nine distinct murine lung and LN MPs. As controls to validate the analytical quality of cross-species pulmonary MP analysis, human blood and murine spleen MPs were used. Constrained canonical correlation, t-SNE and catplot visualization was used to align human and mouse MPs and identify MP subtypes with maximal correspondence across species. Among the top marker genes expressed in corresponding human-mouse MP pairs, only 30-10% of the genes overlapped, indicating a need for caution when identifying human gene variants and functions from mice. For instance, SPP1 is highly expressed in human interstitial macrophages but not alveolar macrophages (AMs), whereas in mice SSP1 is only expressed in AMs. Moreover, human LN dendritic cells (DCs) align best with murine LN DCs but not murine splenic DCs indicating cross-species similarity in tissue. Lastly, in both species, CD88 was the most useful cell surface marker for distinguishing monocyte/macrophages from DCs. Overall, these data provide a reference for analyzing cross-species transcriptome data and evaluating whether specific murine genes are suitable guides to identify the functionality of human MPs, or conversely, whether pursuing specific human genes in mice, is likely to be a valid and fruitful approach.

Inflammation switches the differentiation program of Ly6Chi monocytes from anti-inflammatory macrophages to inflammatory dendritic cells in the colon

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (MPs) are important for immunological homeostasis in the colon. We found that F4/80hi CX3CR1hi (CD11b+CD103-) cells account for 80% of mouse colonic lamina propria (cLP) MHC-IIhi cells. Both CD11c+ and CD11c- cells within this population were identified as MPs based on multiple criteria, including a MP transcriptome revealed by microarray analysis. These MPs constitutively released high levels of IL-10 at least partially in response to the microbiota via an MyD88-independent mechanism. In contrast, cells expressing low to intermediate levels of F4/80 and CX3CR1 were identified as DCs, based on phenotypic and functional analysis and comprise three separate CD11chi cell populations: CD103+CX3CR1-CD11b- DCs, CD103+CX3CR1-CD11b+ DCs and CD103-CX3CR1intCD11b+ DCs. In non-inflammatory conditions, Ly6Chi monocytes differentiated primarily into CD11c+, but not CD11c- MPs. In contrast, during colitis, Ly6Chi monocytes massively invaded the colon and differentiated into pro-inflammatory CD103-CX3CR1intCD11b+ DCs, which produced high levels of IL-12, IL-23, iNOS and TNF. These findings demonstrate the dual capacity of Ly6Chi blood monocytes to differentiate into either regulatory MPs or inflammatory DCs in the colon, and that the balance of these immunologically antagonistic cell types is dictated by microenvironmental conditions.

Tissue-resident macrophages promote multiple myeloma early dissemination and progression via IL-6 and TNFa

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy characterized by the presence of multiple foci in the skeleton. These distinct tumor foci indicate cycles of tumor growth and dissemination that seed new clusters and drives disease progression. Utilizing an intra-tibial Vk*MYC murine myeloma, we found that CD169 + radiation-resistant, tissue-resident macrophages (MPs) were critical for myeloma early dissemination and disease progression. While depletion of these MPs had no effect on tumor proliferation, it reduced myeloma BM egress and spreading to other bones, which improved overall survival as a single therapy and in combination with BM transplantation. Myeloma dissemination correlated with an increased inflammatory signature in BM MPs, as well as production of IL-6 and TNFα by tumor-associated MPs (TAMs). Exogenous i.v. IL-6 and TNFa could trigger myeloma intravasation in the BM by increasing vascular leakiness in the BM, and by enhancing myeloma motility by reducing CD138 adhesion. Moreover, mice lacking IL-6 had defects in myeloma dissemination as in MP-depleted recipients. While in TNFa or TNFaR deficient mice had defects in MM dissemination, engraftment was also impaired. These effects on myeloma dissemination required production of cytokines in the radiation-resistant compartment, containing these radiation-resistant BM MPs. Taken together, we propose BM egress of myeloma cells is regulated by localized inflammation in foci, driven in part by CD169 + MPs.

Transcript sequencing of mononuclear fractions from dissociated murine skeletal muscle

Project description:The important role of mesenchymal progenitors is quickly emerging in various biological processes. Thus far an appropriate marker has been lacking. Here the fractionation of dissociated skeletal muscle and subsequent enrichment of MPs by an established method was employed. Endothelial and blood derived cells comprised the lineage positive fraction and the remaining cell suspension was fractionated using the surface marker Sca1(Ly6a) to enrich for MPs. RNA sequencing was performed on all fractions and subsequent transcriptomic data was interrogated for MP specific transcription factors. Hic1 was found to be highly enriched in the MP fraction.

Proteome of microparticles derived from Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected macrophages

Project description:Microparticles (MP) are small membranous particles (100-1000 nm) released under normal steady-state conditions and are thought to provide a communication network between host cells. Previous studies demonstrated that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection of macrophages increased the release of MPs, and these MPs induced a proinflammatory response from uninfected macrophages in vitro and in vivo following their transfer into uninfected mice. To determine how M.tb infection modulates the protein composition of the MPs, and if this contributes to their proinflammatory properties, we compared the proteomes of MPs derived from M.tb-infected (TBinf-MP) and uninfected human THP-1 monocytic cells. MP proteins were analysed by GeLC-MS/MS with spectral counting revealing 68 proteins with statistically significant differential abundances. The 42 proteins increased in abundance in TBinf-MPs included proteins associated with immune function (7), lysosomal/endosomal maturation (4), vesicular formation (12), nucleosome proteins (4) and antigen processing (9). Prominent among these were the type I interferon inducible proteins, ISG15, IFIT1, IFIT2, and IFIT3. Exposure of uninfected THP-1 cells to TBinf-MPs induced increased gene expression of isg15, ifit1, ifit2, and ifit3 and the release of proinflammatory cytokines. These proteins may regulate the proinflammatory potential of the MPs and provide candidate biomarkers for M.tb infection.
