Delineation of diverse macrophage activation programs in response to intracellular parasites and cytokines

ABSTRACT: To provide a global perspective on the relationships between macrophage activation programs and to understand how certain pathogens circumvent them, we used transcriptional profiling by genome wide microarray analysis to compare the responses of mouse macrophages following exposure to the intracellular parasites Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania mexicana, the bacterial product lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the cytokines IFNG, TNF, IFNB, IL-4, IL-10, and IL-17. We found that LPS induced a classical activation state that resembled macrophage stimulation by the Th1 cytokines IFNG and TNF. However, infection by the protozoan pathogen Leishmania mexicana produced so few transcriptional changes that the infected macrophages were almost indistinguishable from uninfected cells. Trypanosoma cruzi activated macrophages produced a transcriptional signature characterized by the induction of interferon-stimulated genes by 24 h post-infection. Despite this delayed IFN response by T. cruzi, the transcriptional response of macrophages infected by the kinetoplastid pathogens more closely resembled the transcriptional response of macrophages stimulated by the cytokines IL-4, IL-10, and IL-17 than macrophages stimulated by Th1 cytokines. Keywords: Bone marrow macrophage response to intracellular parasites and cytokines We analyzed a series MEEBO arrays on which were hybed RNA amplified from bone marrow-derived macrophages from C57BL/6 mice. Macrophages infected with L. mexicana or T. cruzi or stimulated by LPS, IFNG, IL-4, IL-10, TNF, IFNB, or IL-17 were compared to one another as well as to uninfected, unstimulated control macrophages. All experiments were performed over a 24 h timecourse with timepoints taken at 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h.

<h4>Background</h4>The ability to reside and proliferate in macrophages is characteristic of several infectious agents that are of major importance to public health, including the intracellular parasites Trypanosoma cruzi (the etiological agent of Chagas disease) and Leishmania species (etiological agents of Kala-Azar and cutaneous leishmaniasis). Although recent studies have elucidated some of the ways macrophages respond to these pathogens, the relationships between activation programs elicite ...[more]

Project description:BMDMs or iMACs were generated via differentiation of bone marrow cells or immortalized precursors, respectively, in culture media containing m-CSF for 7 day. Upon differentiation, BMDMs or iMacs were left untreated or stimulated as described below. 1) BMDM WT were stimulated with IFNa, LPS, PGE2, IL-4, IL-10, LPS+PGE2, LPS+IL-4, LPS+IL-10, IFNa+PGE2, IFNa+IL-10: each condition in duplicate. This experiment was performed to investigate transcriptional cross-antagonism in the concomitant presence of pro-inflammatory (LPS or IFNa) and anti-inflammatory stimuli (IL-4, IL-10, or PGE2). 2) BMDM WT were stimulated with LPS, in the presence or absence of PFI-1 (Brd2/4 inhibitor) or SGC-CBP30 (CBP/p300 inhibitor): each condition in triplicate. This experiment was performed to define pro-inflammatory genes dependent or not on chromatin remodeling for their induction. 3) BMDM Mef2C/D proficient (Vav-Cre) or BMDM Mef2C/D KO (obtained by crossing Mef2d-/- Mef2cfl/fl with Vav-Cre mice) were stimulated with LPS, PGE2, or LPS+PGE2: each condition in triplicate. This experiment was performed to investigate the role of MEF2C-D on LPS transcritptional response. 4) BMDM WT were pretreated for 40 minutes with an anti-IL10R antibody or the corresponding isotope control, and then left untreated or stimulated with LPS, PGE2 or LPS+PGE2: each condition in duplicate. This experiment was performed to investigate the crosstalk between IL-10 and PGE2. 5) BMDM WT were left untreated or stimulated with PGE2, LPS, LPS+PGE2, or LPS+PGE2+IFNb. In the latter condition, IFNb was added 1 hour after the beginning of the costimulation: each condition in triplicate. This experiment was performed to asses the impact of PGE2 into the LPS-mediated IFNb induction. 5) MEF2A-deficient iMac clones (D7, A7, A8, C7) and MEF2A-proficient (referred to as wild-type) iMac clones (NE, B3 and D10) were generated via CRISPR/Cas9 and stimulated or not with LPS: each condition in single. This experiment was performed to investigate the role of MEF2A on LPS transcritptional response.
