Ontogeny of alveolar macrophages is a critical determinant of function during lung fibrosis [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the relative importance of monocyte and tissue-resident macrophages in the development of lung fibrosis. We show that specific genetic deletion of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages after their recruitment to the lung ameliorated lung fibrosis, whereas tissue-resident alveolar macrophages did not contribute to fibrosis. Using transcriptomic profiling of flow-sorted cells, we found that monocyte to alveolar macrophage differentiation unfolds continuously over the course of fibrosis and its resolution. During the fibrotic phase, monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages differ significantly from tissue-resident alveolar macrophages in their expression of profibrotic genes. A population of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages persisted in the lung for one year after the resolution of fibrosis, where they became increasingly similar to tissue-resident alveolar macrophages. Human homologues of profibrotic genes expressed by mouse monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages during fibrosis were up-regulated in human alveolar macrophages from fibrotic compared with normal lungs. Our findings suggest that selectively targeting alveolar macrophage differentiation within the lung may ameliorate fibrosis without the adverse consequences associated with global monocyte or tissue-resident alveolar macrophage depletion.

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.

Smith2011 - Three Stage Innate Immune Response to a Pneumococcal Lung Infection

Project description:Pneumococcal pneumonia is a leading cause of death and a major source of human morbidity. The initial immune response plays a central role in determining the course and outcome of pneumococcal disease. We combine bacterial titer measurements from mice infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae with mathematical modeling to investigate the coordination of immune responses and the effects of initial inoculum on outcome. To evaluate the contributions of individual components, we systematically build a mathematical model from three subsystems that describe the succession of defensive cells in the lung: resident alveolar macrophages, neutrophils and monocyte-derived macrophages. The alveolar macrophage response, which can be modeled by a single differential equation, can by itself rapidly clear small initial numbers of pneumococci. Extending the model to include the neutrophil response required additional equations for recruitment cytokines and host cell status and damage. With these dynamics, two outcomes can be predicted: bacterial clearance or sustained bacterial growth. Finally, a model including monocyte-derived macrophage recruitment by neutrophils suggests that sustained bacterial growth is possible even in their presence. Our model quantifies the contributions of cytotoxicity and immune-mediated damage in pneumococcal pathogenesis.

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.

Single-cell RNA-seq of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid in severe COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 stimulated classical blood monocytes

Project description:We analyzed pulmonary monocyte and macrophage responses as well as and pulmonary pathology in two cohorts of patients with COVID-19 associated ARDS. Monocyte-derived macrophages accumulated in the lung during ARDS and acquired a profibrotic signature, characterized by high expression of known fibrogenic factors like TGFB1, SPP1 and LGMN. COVID-19 associated macrophages showed highly significant transcriptional similarity with profibrotic macrophage populations identified in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Notably, overnight exposure to SARS-CoV-2, but not influenza A virus or viral RNA analogues, induced a similar phenotype in human monocytes from healthy volunteers in vitro. Patients with severe COVID-19 associated ARDS showed clear clinical, radiographic and histopathological features of scarring and fibrotic tissue remodeling. In conclusion, SARS-CoV-2 triggers profibrotic macrophage responses, fibroproliferative ARDS, and lung fibrosis

Single Cell Analysis of Pulmonary Fibrosis

Project description:<p>Pulmonary fibrosis is a heterogenous syndrome in which fibrotic scar replaces normal lung tissue. We performed massively parallel single-cell RNA-Seq on lung tissue from eight lung transplant donors and eight patients with pulmonary fibrosis. Combined with in situ RNA hybridization, with amplification, these data provide a molecular atlas of disease pathobiology. We identified a distinct, novel population of profibrotic alveolar macrophages exclusively in patients with fibrosis. Within epithelial cells, the expression of genes involved in Wnt secretion and response was restricted to non-overlapping cells. We identified rare cell populations including airway stem cells and senescent cells emerging during pulmonary fibrosis. Analysis of a cryobiopsy specimen from a patient with early disease supports the clinical application of single-cell RNA-Seq to develop personalized approaches to therapy.</p>

Two distinct interstitial macrophage populations coexist across tissues in unique subtissular niches [FACs sorted]

Project description:Macrophages are a heterogeneous cell population involved in tissue homeostasis, inflammation and in multiple pathologies. Although the major tissue-resident macrophage populations have been extensively studied, interstitial macrophages (IMs) residing within tissue parenchyma remain poorly defined. Here, we studied IMs from murine lung, fat, heart and dermis. We identified two independent IM subpopulations that are conserved across tissues: Lyve1loMHCIIhiCX3CR1hi (Lyve1loMHCIIhi) and Lyve1hiMHCIIloCX3CR1lo (Lyve1hiMHCIIlo) monocyte-derived IMs, with distinct gene expression profiles, phenotypes, functions, and localisation. Using a mouse model of inducible macrophage depletion (SLCO2B1-DTR), we found that the absence of Lyve1hiMHCIIlo IMs exacerbated experimental lung fibrosis. Thus, we demonstrate that two independent populations of IMs exist across tissues and exhibit conserved niche-dependent functional programming.

Resetting proteostasis in aged animals with ISRIB prevents recruitment of profibrotic monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages during pulmonary fibrosis [AT2]

Project description:Aging is among the most important risk factors for the development of pulmonary fibrosis. Inappropriate or prolonged activation of the integrated stress response has been implicated in the pathobiology of both aging and pulmonary fibrosis. We found that a small molecule that relieves translational inhibition induced by activation of the integrated stress response (ISRIB) attenuated the severity pulmonary fibrosis in young and old mice. We demonstrate that severe fibrosis in old mice was associated with increased number of pathogenic monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages. Using transcriptomic profiling we found that ISRIB modulates stress response signaling in alveolar epithelial cells resulting in decreased recruitment of pathogenic monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages. Thus our data suggest that inhibition of the integrated stress response in the lung epithelium can ameliorate pulmonary fibrosis by preventing the recruitment of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages.
