Project description:Despite significant advancements in cancer immunotherapy, many patients continue to respond poorly. Novel therapeutic strategies and drugs are urgently needed. Here, we found that CYP2E1 is significantly upregulated in M2 macrophages. The CYP2E1 inhibitor, Q11, could inhibit M2 macrophage polarization, while CYP2E1 overexpression could promote it. Increased levels of CYP2E1 and M2 macrophages in the tumor microenvironment of HCC patients correlate with poor prognosis. Q11 could inhibit tumor cells by targeting M2 macrophages rather than directly attacking tumor cells. Both Q11 and Cyp2e1 knockout could effectively suppress tumor growth. Q11 reduces the production of CYP2E1 metabolites (±)9(10)-DiHOME and (±)12(13)-DiHOME, thus attenuating PPARγ activation and M2 macrophage polarization. In summary, our findings suggest that Q11 could suppress M2 macrophage polarization by modulating the CYP2E1/(±)9(10)-DiHOME or (±)12(13)-DiHOME/PPARγ axis, indicating that CYP2E1 inhibition may be a novel therapeutic strategy for HCC and positioning Q11 as a promising therapeutic agent.

Project description:Macrophages polarize towards different subpopulations with distinct and partly antagonistic functions in various diseases. IFNγ/LPS-polarized M1-type macrophages can have antiangiogenic activity, whereas IL-4-induced M2-type macrophages can be proangiogenic and profibrotic. Therapeutic strategies to inhibit M2-type polarization while promoting M1-type polarization could serve to inhibit pathological angiogenesis and fibrosis. Here, by combining global quantitative time-course proteomics and phosphoproteomics with a small-molecule inhibitor screen we identify signaling events that promote specifically IL-4-induced and not IFNγ/LPS-induced macrophage polarization and found that the MEK inhibitor trametinib and the HDAC inhibitor panobinostat potently prevent M2-type macrophage polarization without inhibiting M1-type polarization. In contrast, selective B-Raf inhibition promotes M2-type polarization. Trametinib and panobinostat also blocked M2-type macrophage polarization and concomitantly angiogenesis and fibrosis in models of wound healing and neovascular age-related macular degeneration in vivo. Thus, these pharmacologic inhibitors could be utilized therapeutically to selectively block IL4-induced macrophage polarization and reduce pathologic angiogenesis and fibrosis.

Project description:The proteasome is a central regulatory hub for intracellular signaling by degrading numerous signaling mediators. Immunoproteasomes are specialized types of proteasomes known to be involved in shaping adaptive immune responses, but their role for innate immune signaling is elusive. Here, we analyzed immunoproteasome function for polarization of alveolar macrophages which are highly specialized tissue macrophages of the alveolar surface of the lung. Classical activation (M1 polarization) of primary alveolar macrophages by LPS/IFNγ transcriptionally induced all three immunoproteasome subunits LMP2, LMP7, and MECL-1. In contrast, IL-4 triggered alternative (M2) activation was accompanied by posttranscriptional upregulation of LMP2 and LMP7. Accordingly, immunoproteasome activity increased in M1 cells, and to some extent under M2 conditions. Analyzing the polarization capability from LMP7 deficient mice revealed no effect on the LPS/IFNγ triggered M1 profile, but uncovered a distorted M2 profile for IL-4 stimulated LMP7-/- alveolar macrophages as characterized by increased M2 marker gene expression and CCL17 cytokine release. This shift in immunoproteasome-dependent M2 polarization was accompanied by amplified AKT/STAT6 activation and IRF4 expression in LMP7-/- alveolar macrophages. IL-13 stimulation of LMP7 deficient cells induced a similar M2 skewed profile and IL4Rα protein expression was generally elevated in LMP7-/- alveolar macrophages, indicating that amplified IL4R signaling in immunoproteasome defective cells may contribute to augmented M2 polarization. Importantly, treatment with an LMP7-specific proteasome inhibitor recapitulated the findings of genetic LMP7 inactivation. Our results thus suggest a novel role of immunoproteasome function for regulating innate immune function of macrophages by limiting IL4R expression and signaling.

Project description:In response to microenvironmental signals macrophages undergo different activation, indicated as classic/M1 and alternative/M2 polarization. C-Myc transcription factor could be an essential player in M2 polarization. Functional relevance of c-Myc in M2 macrophage biology is investigated by evaluating the effect of 100-58F4, on the transcriptional profile induced on human macrophages by IL-4. Human monocytes were obtained from normal donor buffy coats by two-step gradient centrifugation using Ficoll (Biochrom) and Percoll (Amersham). Non-adherent cells were discarded, and the purified monocytes were incubated for 7 days in RPMI 1640 (Biochom) supplemented with 10% FCS (HyClone) and 100 ng/mL M-CSF to obtain resting macrophages. Macrophage polarization was obtained by removing the culture medium and culturing cells in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FCS and 100 ng/mL LPS plus 20 ng/mL IFN-gamma (M1 polarization) or 20 ng/mL IL-4 (M2 polarization) for 24 h. When needed, chemical inhibitors were added with IL-4.

Project description:Modulating M1/M2 polarization is a potential therapy for treating ischemic stroke. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) held the capacity to regulate astrocytic polarization, but little is known about rTMS effects on microglia. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate whether and how rTMS influence microglia polarization in ischemic stroke models. The 10-Hz rTMS was applied to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rats and oxygen and glucose deprivation/ reoxygenation injured BV2 cells. Western blot, immunofluorescence and ELISA were used to detect M1/M2 markers. High-throughput sequencing, RT-PCR and FISH staining were adopted to test microRNA changes. The 10-Hz rTMS inhibited ischemia/reperfusion induced M1 microglia and significantly increased let-7b-5p. HMGA2 was proved to be the target protein of let-7b-5p and its downstream NF-κB signaling pathway were inhibited by rTMS. Microglia culture medium (MCM) collected from rTMS treated microglia had low TNF-α but high IL-10 concentration, leading to reduced neural death, minor ischemic volumes and improved functional recovery of MCAO animals. However, knockdown of let-7b-5p by antagomir reversed rTMS effects on microglia. In conclusion, high-frequency rTMS could improve functional recovery through inhibiting M1 microglia polarization via regulating let-7b-5p/HMGA2/NF-κB signaling pathway in cerebral ischemic stroke models.
