Project description:Lung interstitium macrophages (IMs) are non-alveolar resident tissue macrophages which contribute to the lung homeostasis. These cells were reported to be heterogeneous by our group and other teams, which contains two main distinct subpopulations: CD206+ IMs and CD206- IMs. However, the exact origin of IMs and the transcriptional programs that regulate IM differentiation remains unclear. In recent report, we analyzed the refilled IMs in the course of time after induced IM depletion with single-cell RNA sequencing (10X Genomics Chromium) and bulk RNA sequencing. In this study, the de novo refilled CD206+ and CD206- IMs on Day 14 post-depletion were compared to those without depletion. Alvelar macrophages (AMs) samples were also included in this analysis and served as a reference. Results of clustering and PCA analyses showed high similarity between de novo refilled and original IMs for both CD206+ and CD206- subsets. Only 9 genes were find upregulated in refilled IMs: AA467197, Cd109, Igf2r, Rarb and S100a4.

Project description:Macrophages in lungs can be classified into two subpopulations, alveolar macrophages (AMs) and interstitial macrophages (IMs), which reside in the alveolar and interstitial spaces, respectively. Accumulating evidence indicates the involvement of IMs in lung metastasis but the roles of AMs in lung metastasis still remain elusive. An intravenous injection of a mouse hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line, BNL, caused lung metastasis foci with infiltration of AMs and IMs. Comprehensive determination of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolite levels revealed increases in leukotrienes (LTs) and prostaglandins in lungs in this metastasis model. A 5-lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitor but not a cyclooxygenase inhibitor reduced the numbers of metastatic foci, particularly those with larger sizes. A major 5-LOX metabolite, LTB4, augmented in vitro cell proliferation of human HCC cell lines as well as BNL cells. Moreover, in this lung metastasis course, AMs exhibited higher expression levels of the 5-LOX and LTB4 than IMs. Consistently, 5-LOX-expressing AMs increased in the lungs of human HCC patients with lung metastasis, compared with those without lung metastasis. Furthermore, intratracheal clodronate liposome injection selectively depleted AMs but not IMs, together with reduced LTB4 content and metastatic foci numbers in this lung metastasis process. Finally, IMs in mouse metastatic foci produced CCL2, thereby recruiting blood-borne, CCR2-expressing AMs into lungs. Thus, AMs can be recruited under the guidance of IM-derived CCL2 into metastatic lungs and can eventually contribute to the progression of lung metastasis by providing a potent AA-derived tumor growth promoting mediator, LTB4.

Project description:Schistosomiasis, a prevalent cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH) globally, triggers type 2 inflammation, with interstitial macrophages (IMs) derived from monocytes playing a crucial role. These IMs produce thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), activating TGF-β and driving PH pathology. Two distinct IM subpopulations were identified: resident FOLR2+ IMs expressing monocyte recruitment factors, and recruited CCR2+ IMs expressing TSP-1. Upon exposure to Schistosoma, the CCR2+ subpopulation expanded. Flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing confirmed these findings, revealing crosstalk between IM subpopulations. The resident FOLR2+ IMs increased expression of monocyte recruitment ligands, while the recruited CCR2+ IMs expressed elevated TSP-1, activating TGF-β and contributing to PH. This study provides insights into the complex interplay of IM subpopulations in Schistosoma-induced PH, shedding light on potential therapeutic targets for this global health concern.

Project description:We sought to characterize pulmonary interstitial macrophage (IM) origin, subsets, and transcriptomic profiles during homeostasis and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced acute lung inflammation. During homeostasis, we used three complementary methods: spectral flow cytometry, single-cell RNA-sequencing, and gene regulatory network enrichment to demonstrate that IMs can be divided into two core subsets distinguished by surface and transcriptional expression of folate receptor β (Folr2/FRβ). Within FRβ+ IMs we identified a subpopulation marked by co-expression of LYVE1. During acute LPS-induced inflammation, lung IM numbers expand. Lineage tracing revealed IM expansion was due to recruitment of monocyte-derived IMs. At the peak of inflammation, recruited IMs were comprised of two unique subsets defined by expression of genes associated with interferon signaling and glycolytic pathways. As recruited IMs matured, they adopted the overall transcriptional state of FRβ- resident IMs but retained expression in several origin-specific genes. FRβ+ IMs were of near-pure resident origin.

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.

The IMs in Day 4 post-depletion were compared to the those without depletion. Results showed that refilled IMs had a lower ratio of CD206+ IM vs CD206- subpopulation comparing to IMs without depletion, but they shared high similarity to each other, indicating that the de novo IM population had been established before Day 4 post-depletion.

The lung IMs and monocytes from the mice at 12 hours (DT12h), 24 hours (DT24h) and 48 hours (DT48h) after diphtheria toxin (DT)-induced IM depletion were analyzed and compared using single-cell RNA sequencing. A subpopulation was found to be a transit differentiating cells from monocytes to IMs. Transcription factor activity analysis and trajectory showed cMAF and MAFb transcription factors played important roles in monocyte-IM differentiation.

Project description:The lung is inhabited by resident alveolar and interstitial macrophages as well as monocytic cells that survey the lung. Each cell type plays distinct functional roles under homeostatic and inflammatory conditions, but mechanisms establishing their molecular identities and functional potential remain poorly understood. Here, systematic evaluation of transcriptomes and open chromatin of alveolar macrophages (AMs), interstitial macrophages (IMs) and lung monocytes from two mouse strains enabled inference of common and cell-specific transcriptional regulators. We provide evidence that these factors drive selection of regulatory landscapes that specify distinct phenotypes of AMs and IMs and entrain qualitatively different responses to TLR4 signaling in vivo. These studies reveal a striking divergence in a fundamental innate immune response pathway in AMs and establish a framework for further understanding macrophage diversity in the lung.
