Project description:Foam cell formation from monocyte-derived macrophages is a hallmark of atheroscle-rotic lesions. Aspects of this process can be recapitulated in vitro by exposing MCSF-induced or platelet factor4 (CXCL4)-induced macrophages to oxidized (ox) or minimally modified (mm) low density lipoprotein (LDL). We measured gene expression in periph-eral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), monocytes and macrophages treated with CXCL1 (GRO-α) or CCL2 (MCP-1) as well as foam cells induced by native LDL, mmLDL or oxLDL using 22 Affymetrix gene chips. Using an advanced Bayesian error-pooling approach and a heterogeneous error model (HEM) with a false discovery rate (FDR) <0.05, we found 5,303 of 22,215 probe sets to be significantly regulated in at least one of the conditions. Among a subset of 917 candidate genes that were preselected for their known biological functions in macrophage foamcell differentiation, we found that 290 genes met the above statistical criteria for significant differential expression patterns. While many expected genes were found to be upregulated by LDL and oxLDL, very few were induced by mmLDL. We also found induction of unexpected genes, most strikingly MHC-II and other dendritic cell markers such as CD11c. The gene expression patterns in response to oxLDL were similar in MCSF-induced and CXCL4-induced macrophages. Our findings suggest that LDL and oxLDL, but not mmLDL, induce a dendritic cell-like phenotype in macrophages, suggesting that these cells may be able to present antigens and support an immune response. Experiment Overall Design: Human blood was drawn from the antecubital veins of healthy blood donors and provided as buffy coats by the Virginia Blood Services (Richmond, VA). The mononuclear fractions were pooled from four unidentified donors to decrease individual variations in monocytes. Mixed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by Histopaque 1.077 (Sigma Diagnostics, Inc., St. Louis, MO). Following centrifugation, the mononuclear layer was removed and washed with PBS containing 0.02% ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA). The pellet was resuspended in 1X H-lyse Buffer (R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, MN), and washed with wash buffer. PBMCs contain mainly monocytes and lymphocytes as well as platelets that tend to be associated with blood monocytes. From these PBMCs, monocytes were isolated using a negative selection monocyte isolation kit and LS columns (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). The purity of the isolated fraction was > 97% as estimated by flow cytometry using anti-CD14 (data not shown). Although these cells are often called âuntouchedâ monocytes and thought to show little activation, the gene chip analysis conducted on these cells shows massive changes in gene expression compared to PBMCs (see below). Experiment Overall Design: Monocytes were cultured in Macrophage Serum-Free Medium (MSFM, Invitro-gen, Carlsbad, CA) in the presence of 1% media supplement nutridoma-HU (Roche Molecular Biochemicals, Indianapolis, IN) and 100 nM M-CSF for 6 days, after which the cells showed the expected morphological signs of macrophage differentiation. These macrophages were incubated either with 100 nM CCL2 or CXCL1 for 5 hours. CXCL1 was selected because we have previously found that it is an important arrest chemokine for monocytes in vitro and in atherosclerotic arteries in vivo. CCL2 was chosen because mice lacking CCL2 or its receptor CCR2 are relatively resistant to atherosclerosis, suggesting a role in macrophage recruitment, differentiation and/or survival. Human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) were also incubated with native LDL, oxidized LDL (oxLDL) or minimally modified LDL (mmLDL) (each at a concentration of 100 ug/ml) for 2 days to induce foam cell formation. Foam cell formation was verified by oil red O staining (figure 1) and by determining their cholesterol and cholesterol ester content. OxLDL and mmLDL were prepared from the same native LDL for each experiment as described. Control experiments were conducted on macrophages cultured in M-CSF without LDL for an additional 2 days. Two separate sets of monocytes were incubated with CXCL4 (100 nM) for 6 days, another procedure known to induce macrophage differentiation (29), with and without oxLDL to induce foam cell formation. RNA was extracted from cells in all 11 conditions (table 1) and gene expression was measured in duplicates at the University of Virginia Gene Expression Core Facility using Affymetrix equipment.

Project description:We used genome-wide transcriptional profiling by microarray to assess the contribution of pneumolysin on macrophage innate immune responses to the TIGR4 strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn). We focused on the early transcriptional responses at 4 hours after inoculation of human blood monocyte-derived macrophage cultures with Spn at a multiplicity of 10 bacteria to each cell. We compared transcriptomes in the presence and absence of wildtype or pneumolysin-deficient TIGR4 Spn, and also in the presence and absence of cytochalasin D to assess whether there is a differential effect of pneumolysin on innate immune responses with and without bacterial internalisation.

Project description:We measured TNFα activity on the transcriptional level by identifying TNFα-inducible genes in human blood monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). On the basis that TNFα does not act in isolation, we used bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a prototypic model of a stimulus to invoke secretion of a wide range of immunologically active factors, including TNFα. In order to identify gene expression attributable to LPS-induced TNFα, we compared the transcriptome of MDM 24 hours after stimulation with 100 ng/ml ultra-pure LPS in the presence and absence of the soluble TNF receptor fusion protein Etanercept (10 µg/ml).

Project description:We compared transcriptome of monocyte-derived macrophages of 5 patients with GBA-PD (4 L444P/N, 1 N370S/N) and 4 asymptomatic GBA mutation carriers (GBA-carriers) (3 L444P/N, 1 N370S/N) and 4 controls. We also conducted comparative transcriptome analysis for L444P/N only GBA-PD patients and GBA-carriers. Revealed deregulated genes in GBA-PD independently of GBA mutations (L444P or N370S) were involved in immune response, neuronal function. We found upregulated pathway associated with zinc metabolism in L444P/N GBA-PD patients. The potential important role of DUSP1 in the pathogenesis of GBA-PD was suggested.

Project description:Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a rare neurodegenerative disorder mainly caused by autosomal recessive mutations in Npc1 which result in abnormal late endosomal/lysosomal lipid storage. Although microgliosis is one of the prominent pathological features, consequences of NPC1 loss on microglial function and disease outcome remain largely unknown. Here, we provide an in-depth characterization of microglial proteomic signatures and phenotypes in an NPC1-deficient (Npc1-/-) murine model. We demonstrate that microglial defects, including enhanced phagocytosis and impaired lipid trafficking, occur early in the NPC pathological cascade and precede neuronal death. Compromised microglial function during Npc1-/- mouse development is reflected by enhanced synaptic pruning and deficient turnover of myelin. Accumulation of the undigested myelin occurs mainly within multi-vesicular bodies (MVBs) of Npc1-/- microglia and not within lysosomes. This is in agreement with the impairments in recycling of myelin into lipid droplets. Macrophages of NPC patients displayed similar molecular and functional alterations as murine Npc1-/- microglia, strengthening the role of NPC1 in immune homeostasis. Generated ex vivo assays using patient macrophages are novel promising clinical tools to monitor the progression and therapeutic efficacy in NPC patients.

Project description:Since macrophage activation can now be studied at a global level using modern microarray and proteomic analyses, discovery of novel macrophage activation genes is inevitable and important for understanding HIV-associated dementia (HAD). We isolated two different types of primary human macrophages, microglia and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) from brain tissue and whole blood respectively. The microarray analysis of differentially regulated macrophage activation genes reported here supports our previous assertions that the mixed glia (MIX) cultured in starvation conditions (DMEM alone) are a non-activated, or quiescent, tissue culture model for studying macrophage activation in the brain. Transcript levels from these quiescent cultures provided a background level of gene expression, and allowed for the identification of upregulated macrophage activation genes in the MIX brain cultures upon treatment with an array of soluble activation factors: serum components, cytokines, and growth factors. We found that 914 genes in the MIX cultures and 734 genes in the MDM cultures had a greater than 2-fold increase in expression. We discovered 180 genes that were increased greater than 2 fold in both culture types. Microarray-specific statistical analyses were performed to complement fold change analysis: Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM), and Partek Pro. In the MIX cultures, we detected over a hundred fold increase in IL-1? and TIMP1 transcription; Caspase 9, S100A8 and 9, MMP-12, IL-8, MCP-1, MRC-1, and IL-6 were also upregulated. Activation of starved MDM cultures resulted in fewer upregulated genes compared to MIX cultures. Genes upregulated in both MIX and MDM included CCL2 (MCP1), CCL7, CXCL5, TNFSF14, kinases, and phosphatases. These microarray data may provide leads for identifying previously unknown neurotoxins, disease biomarkers, and pathways responsible for the neuronal apoptosis observed in HAD, and for the eventual identification of therapeutic targets and treatments. For each gene, we performed a per-gene normalization, whereby an expression ratio was calculated by dividing the raw data from the activated media samples by the raw signal for the same gene from the non-activated media samples (Fig. 1). The same microarray data were also analyzed again using the very common per-chip normalization method recommended by the manufacturer where raw signals for each chip were multiplied by a scaling factor such that the trimmed mean for each chip became an arbitrary number (150) (Affymetrix, 2001). The per-chip normalization method reduces person-to-person biological variability and potentially hides important changes in gene expression (Hill et al., 2001),(Bolstad et al., 2003). Therefore, we report our data using a per-gene normalization method, which yielded higher signal and low noise (uninteresting non-biological variability caused by chips, and/or experimental sample preparation), and given our experimental design, reduced person-to-person variability that these experiments cannot address directly. For later statistical analyses, the data were log transformed in order to obtain a normal distribution of the expression values of the >12,625 genes (Bolstad et al., 2003)

Project description:Streptococcus Pneumoniae capsule is a major virulence factor. The capsule is known to inhibit complement fixation and phagocytes, but its impact on innate immune responses is not known. To address this question, we compared transcriptional responses by human monocyte derived macrophages in responses to wild type S. pneumoniae with isogenic mutant bacteria lacking their capsule. We conducted these experiments with and without macrophage pretreatment with cytochalasin D to evaluate the impact of phagocytosis, and we also made comparisons to mutant S.pneumoniae lacking bacterial lipoprotein which is known to be necessary for maximal innate immune responses.

Project description:Monocytes can give rise to multiple highly specialized cell types to perform a wide array of functions, ranging from pathogen phagocytosis to bone resorption. This differentiation is induced by the binding of cytokines to dedicated receptors on the surface of monocytes, which results in the initiation of genetic programs that enable cells to perform their specialized functions. Given their common background, it is not surprising that monocyte-derived cells share abilities and cellular markers, yet their specialized functions require a dedicated set of proteins. In order to dissect the monocyte differentiation process and to define cell type-specific marker proteins, we differentiated circulating monocytes into dendritic cells, M1 and M2 macrophages, and osteoclasts, and assessed their proteomes by quantitative mass spectrometry throughout the differentiation process. Statistical analysis indicated that monocyte differentiation is a linear process characterized by a common core of proteins that is similarly affected among the distinct differentiation paths. Throughout the specialization process a cluster of RNA-binding and processing proteins was downregulated whereas proteins associated to metabolic processes were increased. Analysis of the specialized cells after 10 days of differentiation uncovered existing and putative novel dendritic cell markers. Combined, we here present a comprehensive proteomic analysis of monocyte differentiation uncovering shared and distinct proteomic features of differentiating monocytes and monocyte-derived cells.
