Project description:NDNs and LDNs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation of PBMCs from 8 patients affected by tubercolosis (TB). In detail, RNA was extracted from NDNs and LDNs by Maxwell® RSC miRNA Tissue kit (Promega, Madison, USA), following manufacturer’s instructions. RNA concentration and quality was measured using NanoDrop 2000 Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Total RNA (600 ng) was reverse transcribed using the RT2 First Strand Kit (SABiosciences, Qiagen, UK). 84 human cytokines and chemokines were tested using the RT2 Profiler PCR Array Human Innate & Adaptive Immune Responses array (Qiagen). A semiquantitative real-time RT-PCR was performed using a real-time PCR detection system (QuantStudio 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System, Thermo Fisher Scientific) with a two-step thermal cycling: 95 °C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles (95 °C for 15 sec, 60 °C for 1 min). Data were analysed using the RT² Profiler PCR Array Qiagen data analysis software, and ACTB and B2M as housekeeping genes.

Project description:Neutrophils play a key role in the control of metastatic progression. Neutrophils are phenotypically heterogeneous and can exert either anti- or pro-metastatic functions. Here, we demonstrate that tumor cells capable of forming liver metastases induce an accumulation of neutrophils in the peripheral blood and liver parenchyma. Cancer cell-derived G-CSF, in concert with other factors, mobilizes immature low-density neutrophils that promote liver metastasis. In contrast, mature high-density neutrophils inhibit the formation of liver metastases. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of high- and low- density neutrophils reveal engagement of numerous metabolic pathways specifically in low-density neutrophils. Low-density neutrophils exhibit enhanced global bioenergetic capacity, through their ability to engage mitochondrial-dependent ATP production, and remain capable of executing pro-metastatic neutrophil functions, including NETosis, under nutrient-deprived conditions. Together, these data reveal that distinct pro-metastatic neutrophil populations exhibit a high degree of metabolic flexibility, which facilitates metastatic progression and the formation of liver metastases.

Project description:Diabetes is associated with an increase in neutrophil NET production. Low density neutrophils (LDNs) have a greater propensity for spontaneous production of NETs, and are increased in the diabetic host during infection with S. aureus. We compared gene expression between high density (HDN) and LDNs isolated from the blood of infected db/db mice.

Project description:Abstract S. aureus is a major opportunistic pathogen infecting patients with diabetes. Increased mortality was observed following IV S. aureus infection in diabetic mice compared to non-diabetic controls, correlating with increased numbers of low density neutrophils (LDNs) and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). LDN development is dependent on TGFβ, which was more activated in the diabetic host. Neutralization of TGFβ, or the integrin responsible for its activation α5β8, reduced numbers of LDNs and improved survival. Comparison of high and low density neutrophils identified PTEN signaling as a central regulator of LDN NET release. Inhibition of PTEN improved survival and decreased NET production in infected diabetic mice. MEDI4893*, a monoclonal antibody that neutralizes alpha toxin (AT) in development for prevention of S. aureus infection, was able to block TGFβ activation, reduce LDNs and NETs, and significantly improve survival. Our data identify a population of neutrophils in infected diabetic mice which correlated with decreased survival and increased NET production. Targeting a single virulence factor of S. aureus prevented emergence of the LDN population and improved survival, supporting potential use of pathogen specific antibodies for treating diabetic infections.

Project description:The severity of COVID-19 is linked to excessive inflammation. Neutrophils represent a critical arm of the innate immune response and are major mediators of inflammation, but their role in COVID-19 pathophysiology remains poorly understood. We conducted transcriptomic profiling of neutrophils obtained from patients with mild and severe COVID-19, as well as from non-infected healthy controls. Additionally, low-density granulocytes (LDGs) from patients with severe COVID-19 were included to understand their unique role. Transcriptomic analysis of polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs), consisting mainly of mature neutrophils, revealed a striking type I interferon (IFN-I) gene signature in severe COVID-19 patients, contrasting with mild COVID-19 and healthy controls. LDGs from severe COVID-19 patients exhibited an immature neutrophil phenotype and lacked this IFN-I signature. These findings underscore the crucial role of neutrophil inflammasomes in driving inflammation during severe COVID-19. The study provides insights into the pathological mechanisms of severe COVID-19 and highlights potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a severe disease featured by neutrophilic pustules and enhanced IL-36 inflammatory pathway in skin. Recently, a transcriptomic analysis of PBMCs and neutrophils in MPO-deficient GPP patients has been performed in stable disease state. However, transcriptomic profiling of PBMCs during acute flare of GPP is unclear. Here, we reported a predominant neutrophil signature in GPP PBMC and a marked increase in the CD66+CD16+ low-density neutrophils (LDNs) within the PBMC fraction of acute GPP patients. Transcriptomic and functional analysis of LDNs revealed a hypoinflammatory phenotype yet enhanced release of neutrophil granule proteases, implicating that LDNs might contribute to the IL-36-mediated inflammation in GPP patients.

Project description:The silkworm (Bombyx mori) has long been considered a source of food and medicine due to its high nutritional, medicinal, and economic value in East Asia. However, in some sensitive individuals, silkworm consumption can cause allergenic reactions such as vomiting, asthma, and anaphylaxis. Therefore, the development of a reliable method for silkworm detection is required to avoid such allergenic incidents. In this study, two different methods (liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry [LC-MS/MS] and real-time polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) were developed to determine an efficient technique for silkworm detection in foods. The developed methods demonstrated high sensitivity in detecting the silkworm in processed foods. Silkworm-spiked model cookies were used to confirm the sensitivity of both LC-MS/MS (0.0005%) and real-time PCR (0.001%). These methods were found to be useful for detecting the silkworm in foods and avoiding allergenic reactions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to compare LC-MS/MS and real-time PCR for silkworm detection in complex processed foods.

Project description:Low density neutrophils (LDN) co-purify with mononuclear cells during density-gradient separation of peripheral blood. LDN are rarely detected in healthy individuals but appear in the peripheral blood (PB) of patients with inflammatory diseases, malignancies and in individuals treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Using human G-CSF mobilized LDN, this study reveals that LDN are transcriptionally, proteomically and metabolically distinct from other neutrophils. Single Cell RNAseq analysis reveals that LDN from these donors comprise one major population, with multiple interrelated transcriptional states, representing the continuum of neutrophil maturation. LDN can engage both glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration to meet energy demands, which affords increased metabolically flexibility in the nutrient perturbed tissue environments found in tumours and inflammatory diseases. This study also identifies upregulated expression of CD98, a transporter for branch chain and aromatic amino acids, as a cell surface marker for LDN in peripheral blood. CD98 may contribute to the functional properties of LDNs and represents a useful phenotypic marker.
