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.

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.

An ageing bone marrow exacerbates lung fibrosis via a dysregulated regulatory T cell driven axis, fuelling profibrotic macrophage persistence

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis is an incurable disease, which increasingly manifests with advanced age. Yet, how the ageing hematopoietic niche influences immune cell function and fibrosis progression in the lungs remains elusive. Using heterochronic transplant mouse models, we discovered that an aged bone marrow exacerbates lung fibrosis irrespective of lung tissue age. Upon lung injury, there was an increased pulmonary infiltration of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages (Mo-AMs) from an aged bone marrow. These Mo-AMs displayed an enhanced profibrotic profile and a delayed transition in acquiring a homeostatic tissue-resident phenotype. This impaired Mo-AM differentiation was attributed to diminished numbers of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and the reduced availability of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in the lung microenvironment of mice engrafted with aged bone marrow. Mechanistically, we show that Tregs are crucial providers of IL-10 that promote timely Mo-AM maturation and attenuate fibrosis progression. Our findings demonstrate the critical influence of an aged bone marrow on the development of lung fibrosis and identify a Treg-mediated resolutory axis as a potential therapeutic target for accelerated tissue repair.

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>

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

Project description: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.

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

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.
