Project description:The genetic and phenotypic diversity of cells within tumors is a major obstacle for cancer treatment. Because of the stochastic nature of genetic alterations, this intratumoral heterogeneity is often viewed as chaotic. Here we show that the altered metabolism of cancer cells creates predictable gradients of extracellular metabolites that orchestrate the phenotypic diversity of cells in the tumor microenvironment. Combining experiments and mathematical modeling, we show that metabolites consumed and secreted within the tumor microenvironment induce tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to differentiate into distinct subpopulations according to local levels of ischemia and their position relative to the vasculature. TAMs integrate levels of hypoxia and lactate into progressive activation of MAPK signaling that induce predictable spatial patterns of gene expression, such as stripes of macrophages expressing arginase 1 (ARG1) and mannose receptor, C type 1 (MRC1). These phenotypic changes are functionally relevant as ischemic macrophages triggered tube-like morphogenesis in neighboring endothelial cells that could restore blood perfusion in nutrient-deprived regions where angiogenic resources are most needed. We propose that gradients of extracellular metabolites act as tumor morphogens that impose order within the microenvironment, much like signaling molecules convey positional information to organize embryonic tissues. Unearthing embryology-like processes in tumors may allow us to control organ-like tumor features such as tissue repair and revascularization and treat intratumoral heterogeneity.

Project description:Mtb appears to have developed specialized biomolecular infrastructure to survive and persist within granulomas, where it is subjected to a diverse set of stress conditions. One of these stress conditions is hypoxia. We hypothesized that host cell response is radically altered with hypoxia stressed Mtb and designed in-vitro experiments to study this phenomenon. Hypoxia-stressed as well as aerobically grown Mtb were used to infect rhesus macaque bone marrow derived macrophages (Rh-BMDMs) and the host global transcriptional response compared. Using 4 x44 k Agilent arrays specific for rhesus macaque genome, we tested in biological duplicate the effect of aerogically grown Mtb on rhesus macaque BMDMs and compared this to the corresponding effect of the hypoxia-conditioned Mtb on rhesus macaque BMDMs

Project description:This experiement aims to know what the differences of protein translation are in the bone marrow derived macro-phages(BMDMs) from WT mice and Elp3 KO mice. We treated the BMDMs with or without IL-4 for 4 hours.

Project description:To explore the spatiotemporal regulation of ASC speck formation and inflammasome activation, we infected primary WT and Asc–/– bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) with the bacterium Francisella novicida to induce AIM2 inflammasome activation and then performed ASC IP-MS to identify proteins that interacted with ASC. We compared the IP products between WT BMDMs and Asc–/– BMDMs, and found that many proteins specifically interacted with ASC.

Project description:Trace element selenium (Se) is incorporated as the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine (Sec), into selenoproteins through tRNA[Ser]Sec. Selenoproteins act as gatekeepers of redox homeostasis and modulate immune function to effect anti-inflammation and resolution. However, mechanistic underpinnings involving metabolic reprogramming during inflammation and resolution remain poorly understood. Endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activation of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) cultured in the presence or absence of Se (as selenite) was used to examine temporal changes in the proteome and metabolome by multiplexed tandem mass tag-quantitative proteomics, metabolomics, and machine-learning approaches. Se-dependent modulation of glycolytic, TCA and PPP pathways predisposed BMDMs to preferentially increase OXPHOS to efficiently regulate inflammation and its timely resolution. Use of macrophages lacking selenoproteins, indicated that all three metabolic nodes were sensitive to selenoproteome expression. Furthermore, inhibition of SDH with dimethylmalonate affected the pro-resolving effects of Se by increasing the resolution interval in a murine peritonitis model.

Project description:Macrophages play critical roles in inflammation and tissue homeostasis, and their functions are regulated by various autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine factors. We have previously shown that CTRP6, a secreted protein of the C1q family, targets both adipocytes and macrophages to promote obesity-linked inflammation in adipose tissue. However, the gene programs and signaling pathways directly regulated by CTRP6 in macrophage remain unknown. Here, we combine transcriptomic and phosphoproteomic analyses to show that CTRP6 activates inflammatory gene programs and signaling pathways in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). Treatment of BMDMs with CTRP6 upregulates proinflammatory, and suppresses the anti-inflammatory, gene expression. We show that CTRP6 activates p44/42-MAPK, p38-MAPK, and NF-κB signalings to promote inflammatory cytokine secretion from BMDMs, and that pharmacologic inhibition of these signaling pathways largely abolish the effects of CTRP6. Pretreatment of BMDMs with CTRP6 further augments LPS-induced inflammatory signaling and cytokine secretion from BMDMs. Consistent with the metabolic phenotype of proinflammatory M1-like macrophages, CTRP6 treatment induces a shift toward aerobic glycolysis and lactate production, reduces oxidative metabolism, and elevates mitochondrial ROS production in BMDMs. We use a Ctrp6 knockout mouse model to further confirm the physiologic relevance of our in vitro findings. BMDMs from CTRP6-deficient mice are less inflammatory at baseline and show a marked suppression of LPS-induced inflammatory gene expression and cytokine secretion. Loss of CTRP6 in mice also dampens LPS-induced inflammation and hypothermia. Collectively, we provide mechanistic evidence that CTRP6 regulates macrophage function, and neutralizing CTRP6 activity may have beneficial effects in reducing inflammation.
