Serotonin promotes the acquisition of an anti-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic profile in human macrophages via engagement of HTR7

ABSTRACT: Peripheral serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5HT) regulates cell growth and differentiation in numerous cell types through engagement of seven types of cell surface receptors (HTR1-7). Deregulated 5HT/HTR levels contribute to pathology in chronic inflammatory diseases, with macrophages being relevant targets for the physio-pathological effects of 5HT. In fact, 5HT skews human macrophage polarization through engagement of HTR2B and HTR7 receptors. We now report that 5HT primes macrophages for reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine production and IFN type I-mediated signalling, and promotes an anti-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic gene signature in human macrophages. The acquisition of the 5HT-dependent gene profile primarily depends on the HTR7 receptor and HTR7-initiated PKA-dependent signaling. In line with the transcriptional results, 5HT upregulates TGFb1 production by human macrophages in an HTR7- and PKA-dependent manner, whereas the absence of Htr7 in vivo results in diminished macrophage infiltration and collagen deposition in a mouse model of skin fibrosis. Our results indicate that the anti-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic activity of 5HT is primarily mediated through the HTR7-PKA axis, and that HTR7 contributes to pathology in fibrotic diseases.

Macrophage epoxygenase determines a pro-fibrotic transcriptomesignature

Project description:Epoxygenases belong to the cytochrome P450 family and they generate epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) known to have anti-inflammatory effects but little is known about their role in macrophage function. By high-throughput sequencing of RNA (RNA-seq) in primary macrophages derived fromrodents and humans, we establish the relative expression of epoxygenases in these cells. Zinc-finger nuclease-mediated targeted gene deletion of the major rat macrophage epoxygenase Cyp2j4 (orthologue of human CYP2J2),resulted inreduced EET synthesis. Cyp2j4-/-macrophages have relatively increased PPARγ levels and show a pro-fibrotic transcriptome,displayingover-expression of a specific subset of genes (260 transcripts) primarily involved in extracellular matrix, with fibronectin being the most abundantly expressed transcript.Fibronectin expression is under the control of epoxygenase activity in human and rat primary macrophages. In keeping with the invitro findings, Cyp2j4-/- rats show up-regulation of type I collagen following unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO) of the kidney and quantitative proteomics analysis (LC-MS/MS) showed increased renal type I collagen and fibronectin protein abundance resulting from experimentally induced crescentic glomerulonephritis in these rats. Taken together, these results identify the rat epoxygenase Cyp2j4 as a determinant of a pro-fibrotic macrophage transcriptome that could have implications in various inflammatory conditions depending on macrophage function.

Identification of the genes regulated by the 5-HT2B serotonin receptor agonist BW723C86 in human M-CSF-primed monocyte-derived macrophages

Project description:Peripheral serotonin (5-HT) exacerbates or limits inflammatory pathologies (pulmonary arterial hypertension, cardiac valve degeneration, systemic sclerosis, gut disorders, neuroendocrine neoplasms, arthritis) through interaction with seven types of 5-HT receptors (5-HT1-7). As central regulators of inflammation, macrophages are critical targets of 5-HT, which promotes their anti-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic polarization primarily via the 5-HT7-Protein Kinase A (PKA) axis. However, anti-inflammatory human macrophages are also characterized by the expression of 5-HT2B, an off-target of anesthetics, anti-parkinsonian drugs and Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) that contributes to 5-HT-mediated pathologies. Since 5-HT2B prevents mononuclear phagocyte degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and modulates motility of murine microglial processes, we sought to determine the functional and transcriptional consequences of 5-HT2B activation in human macrophages. Ligation of 5-HT2B by the 5-HT2B-specific agonist BW723C86, which exhibits antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects in animal models, significantly modified the cytokine profile and the transcriptional signature in macrophages. Importantly, 5-HT2B agonist-induced transcriptional changes were partly mediated through activation of the Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR), a ligand-dependent transcription factor that regulates immune responses and the biological responses to xenobiotics. Besides, BW723C86 triggered transcriptional effects that could not be abrogated by 5-HT2B antagonists and impaired monocyte-to-osteoclast differentiation. Therefore, our results demonstrate the existence of a functional 5-HT2B-AhR link in human macrophages and indicate that the commonly used 5-HT2B agonist BW723C86 exhibits 5-HT2B-independent effects.

Genomic profile of foamy and non-foamy granuloma macrophages from fat-fed ApoE null mice or control mice fed a normal diet

Project description:Formation of foam cell macrophages (FCMs), which sequester extracellular modified lipids, is a key event in atherosclerosis. How lipid loading affects macrophage phenotype is controversial, with evidence suggesting either pro- or anti-inflammatory consequences. To investigate this further, we compared the transcriptomes of foamy and non-foamy macrophages (NFMs) that accumulate in the subcutaneous granulomas of fed-fat ApoE null mice and normal chow fed wild-type mice in vivo. Consistent with previous studies, LXR/RXR pathway genes were significantly over-represented among the genes up-regulated in foam cell macrophages. Unexpectedly, the hepatic fibrosis pathway, associated with platelet derived growth factor and transforming growth factor-? action, was also over-represented. Several collagen polypeptides and proteoglycan core proteins as well as connective tissue growth factor and fibrosis-related FOS and JUN transcription factors were up-regulated in foam cell macrophages. Increased expression of several of these genes was confirmed at the protein level in foam cell macrophages from subcutaneous granulomas and in atherosclerotic plaques. Moreover, phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of SMAD2, which is downstream of several transforming growth factor-? family members, was also detected in foam cell macrophages. We conclude that foam cell formation in vivo leads to a pro-fibrotic macrophage phenotype, which could contribute to plaque stability, especially in early lesions that have few vascular smooth muscle cells. Samples (n=4/group): Foam cell macrophages (FCM) isolated from inflammatory sponges placed in ApoE null mice fed a high-fat diet (n=4), non-foamy macrophages (NFM) isolated from inflammatory sponges placed in control mice fed a normal diet (n=4).

Comparing murine lung resident alveolar Siglec-F(high) macrophages to CD11b(high) macrophages following bleomycin injury

Project description:Macrophages (MΦ) have been shown to contribute to fibrogenesis, however the underlying mechanisms and specific MΦ subsets involved remain unclear. Lung MΦ can be divided into two subsets: Siglec-Fhi resident alveolar MΦ and CD11bhi MΦ that primarily arise from immigrating monocytes. RNA-seq analysis was performed to compare these MΦ subsets during fibrosis. CD11bhi MΦ, not Siglec-Fhi MΦ, expressed high levels of pro-fibrotic chemokines and growth factors.

Transcriptional effects of Pentraxin-2 in fibrotic disease of the kidney

Project description:Pentraxin-2 (PTX-2) is a constitutive, anti-inflammatory, innate immune plasma protein whose circulating level is decreased in chronic human fibrotic diseases. Recent studies indicate that systemic delivery of recombinant PTX-2 inhibits inflammatory diseases associated with fibrosis by blocking pro-fibrotic macrophage activation and promoting anti-inflammatory and regulatory macrophages. Here we show that recombinant human PTX-2 (rhPTX-2) retards the progression of chronic kidney disease in Col4a3 mutant mice that develop Alport syndrome, reducing blood markers of kidney failure, enhancing lifespan by 20%, and improving histological signs of disease. Exogenously-delivered rhPTX-2 is detected in macrophages but is also found in tubular epithelial cells where it counteracts macrophage activation and is cytoprotective for the epithelium. We performed transcriptional profiling of whole kidney homogenates and human proximal tubule epithelial cells (PTECs) to identify pathways differentially activated or suppressed in response to treatment with PTX-2. Computational analysis of genes regulated by rhPTX-2 identified the transcriptional regulator c-Jun and its binding partners, which form AP-1 complexes, as a central target for the function of rhPTX-2. Accordingly, PTX-2 attenuates c-Jun activation and reduces expression of AP-1 dependent inflammatory genes in both monocytes and epithelium. Our studies therefore identify rhPTX-2 as a potential therapy for chronic fibrotic disease of the kidney and an important inhibitor of pathological c-Jun signaling in this setting. 1. Total RNA from whole kidney homogenates of wildtype (Col4a3+/+) and knockout (Col4a3-/-) mice treated with PTX-2 was isolated and hybidized to Illumina Mouse WG-6 v2 Expression BeadChips. 2. Total RNA from human proximal tubules treated with plasma and PTX-2 was isolated and hybidized to Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChips.

Characterization of human non-hematopoietic bone marrow cells in non-fibrotic and fibrotic conditions

Project description:We isolated non-hematopoietic cells from fibrotic and non-fibrotic human bone marrow and perfomed scRNAseq on them. We identified 3 different stromal populations and 2 populations of hematopoietic progenitors. Our analysis revealed mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) as pro-fibrotic cells. MSCs were functionally reprogrammed with loss of their progenitor status and acquisition of a pro-fibrotic phenotype in the fibrotic bone marrow. Additionally, stromal cells exhibited an upregulation of pro-inflammatory mediators like S100A8/A9.
