IFN-M-NM-3-induced iNOS expression in regulatory macrophages prolongs allograft graft survival in fully immunocompetent recipients.

ABSTRACT: Mouse monocytes exposed to M-CSF and IFN-M-NM-3 were driven to a suppressor phenotype over a seven day culture period. The resulting regulatory macrophages (M regs) expressed markers distinguishing them from M0-, M1-, and M2-polarised macrophages and monocyte-derived DCs. M regs completely suppressed polyclonal T cell proliferation through an inducibile nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-dependent mechanism. Additionally, M regs were found to eliminate cocultured T cells in an allospecific fashion. In a heterotopic heart transplant model, a single intravenous administration of 5x10^6 donor-strain M regs prior to transplantation significantly prolonged allograft survival in fully immunocompetent recipients using both the stringent C3H-to-BALB/c and C57BL/6-to-BALB/c strain combinations; this graft-protective effect was alloantigen-specific. M regs from Nos2-deficient mice did not prolong allograft survival, proving that M reg function in vivo is iNOS-mediated and dependent on living cells. Co-treatment with 1 mg/kg/day rapamycin for 10 days post-transplant markedly enhanced the effect of M regs. In untransplanted C57BL/6 recipients, M regs of BALB/c origin were detectable for up to 2 weeks post-infusion. It is concluded that mouse M regs represent a novel, phenotypically distinct subset of tolerogenic macrophages, which resemble human M regs in their derivation, phenotype and in vitro functions. The dataset comprises 36 samples divided into twelve sample groups each representing a certain monocyte/macrophage subtype

Mouse monocytes exposed to macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were driven to a novel suppressor phenotype. These regulatory macrophages (M regs) expressed markers distinguishing them from M0-, M1-, and M2-polarized macrophages and monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs).

Project description:Being able to identify patients in whom immunological tolerance has been established or is developing would allow an individually tailored approach to post-transplant management of kidney allograft recipients. Ex vivo immunological monitoring was performed on samples from five groups of European renal transplant recipients (“IOT samples”): ten drug-free tolerant recipients who were functionally stable despite remaining immunosuppression-free for more than one year (Tol-DF); also functionally stable patients on minimal immunosuppression (<10 mg/day prednisone, s-LP); stable patients maintained with calcineurin inhibitors (s-CNI); stable patients maintained on CNI-free immunosuppression regimen (s-nCNI); patients showing signs of chronic rejection (CR) and healthy controls (HC). Among the investigation of other biomarkers and bioassays, gene expression profiles were generated on custom Agilent 8x15K 60mer oligonucleotide microarrays (“RISET 2.0”) on the IOT cohort (training set) and on an independent cohort of patients from the ITN (USA) that contained similar groups of patients and included 23 tolerant recipients (“ITN samples”, test set). Set of genes were identified, whose expression on whole blood allowed the identification of 100% of the tolerant recipients in the training set and 84% in the test set. Keywords: classification of clinical samples, tolerance prediction IOT samples: 13 samples from 10 Tol-DF patients, 16 samples from 11 s-LP patients, 8 samples from 8 s-nCNI patients, 40 samples from 28 s-CNI patients, 10 samples from 9 CR patients, and 8 samples from 8 HC donors were analysed on a custom Agilent 8x15K 60mer oligonucleotide microarray encomprising 5069 probes in triplicates. The microarray is dedicated to transplantation research and was designed based on current literature and published and unpublished data provided by the RISET consortium. For the probe selection procedure we specially focused on the detection of multiple transcript variants of a gene, on optimized hybridization properties of the probes, and on the avoidance of crosshybridization. The sampling dates of replicate samples from the same patient range from one day to 1.5 years. ITN samples: 31 samples from 23 Tol-DF patients, 14 samples from 11 s-LP patients, 52 samples from 34 s-CNI patients, 25 samples from 18 CR patients, and 20 samples from 20 HC donors were analysed on the same microarray platform and served as test set. The samples of the two cohorts differ in the protocol of RNA preparation.

Project description:The frequency of delayed function of kidney transplants varies greatly and is associated with the quality of graft, donor age, and the duration of cold ischemia time. Body weight differences between donor and recipient can affect primary graft function. The underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Here, we have transplanted kidney grafts from commensurate body weight (L-WD) or reduced body weight (H-WD) donor rats into syngeneic or allogeneic recipients. 24 hours post-transplantation, serum creatinine level in H-WD recipients was significantly higher compared to that of L-WD recipients indicating impaired primary graft function. We detected a 10 fold higher transcription of IL-6 and dramatically increased tubular destruction in grafts from H-WD recipients. This was accompanied by decreased expression of genes associated with kidney function and an up-regulation of other genes such as cytochrome P450 isoforms, FosL and Trib3 as revealed by DNA microarray analysis. A single application of IL-6 into L-WD recipients is sufficient to impair primary graft function and to cause tubular damage. Whereas, immediate neutralization of IL-6 receptor signaling rescued primary graft function resulting in low serum creatinine levels, well-preserved kidney graft architecture and a normalized gene expression profile. These findings have strong clinical implication as anti-IL6R treatment of patients receiving grafts from lower-weight donors could be used to improve primary graft function. The dataset comprises eight samples divided into four sample groups. Each group represents rat kidneys collected after allogeneic transplantation under a certain condition and includes two biological replicates. The first group is characterized by a high body weight difference between donor and recipient, rats in the second group exhibit a low weight difference. Group three and four are similar to group one, but underwent an additional treatment with anti-IL6R mAb or prednisolone immediately after transplantation.

Project description:ABSTRACT Macrophages are essential components of the innate immune system and crucial for pathogen elimination in early stages of infection. We previously observed that bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) from C57BL/6 mice exhibited increased killing activity against Burkholderia pseudomallei compared to BMM from BALB/c mice. This effect was particularly pronounced when cells were treated with IFN-M-NM-3. To unravel mechanisms that could explain these distinct bactericidal effects, a comparative combined proteome and transcriptome analysis of untreated and IFN-M-NM-3 treated BALB/c and C57BL/6 BMM under standardized serum-free conditions was carried out. We found differences in gene expression/ protein abundance belonging to cellular oxidative and antioxidative stress systems. Genes/ proteins involved in the generation of oxidant molecules and the function of phagosomes (respiratory chain ATPase, lysosomal enzymes, cathepsin) were predominantly higher expressed/ more abundant in C57BL/6 BMM. Components involved in alleviation of oxidative stress (peroxiredoxin, mitochondrial superoxide dismutase) were more abundant in C57BL/6 BMM as well. Thus, C57BL/6 BMM seemed to be better equipped with cellular systems that may be advantageous in combating engulfed pathogens. Simultaneously, C57BL/6 BMM were well protected from oxidative burst. We assume that these variations co-determine differences in resistance between BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice observed in many infection models. Biological significance: In this study we performed combined transcriptome and proteome analyses on BMM derived from two inbred mouse strains that are frequently used for studies in the field of host-pathogen interaction research. Strain differences between BALB/c and C57BL/6 BMM were found to originate mainly from different protein abundance levels rather than from different gene expression. Differences in abundance of respiratory chain complexes and phagosomal proteins as well as differential regulation of components belonging to various antioxidant stress systems help to explain long-known differences between the mouse strains concerning their different susceptibility in several infection models. In this study 12 samples were analyzed. They are classified into four groups: BMM of Balb/c mice medium control, BMM of Balb/c mice interferon gamma treated, BMM of C57Bl/6 mice medium control, and BMM of C57Bl/6 mice interferon gamma treated. Each of the four groups contains 3 biological replicates.

Project description:Chronic injury in kidney transplants remains a major cause of graft loss. The aim of this study was to identify a predictive gene set capable of classifying renal grafts at risk for progressive injury due to fibrosis.The Genomics of Chronic Allograft Rejection (GoCAR) study is a prospective, multicenter study. Biopsies obtained prospectively 3 months after transplantation from renal allograft recipients (n=159) with stable renal function were analyzed for gene expression by microarray. Genes were sought which correlated with subsequent 12-month Chronic Allograft Damage Index (CADI) but neither CADI in the 3 month biopsy nor other histological or clinical parameters. We identified a set of 13 genes that was independently predictive for the development of fi brosis at 1 year (ie, CADI-12 >=2). The gene set had high predictive capacity (area under the curve [AUC] 0·967), which was superior to that of baseline clinical variables (AUC 0·706) and clinical and pathological variables (AUC 0·806). Furthermore routine pathological variables were unable to identify which histologically normal allografts would progress to fi brosis (AUC 0·754), whereas the predictive gene set accurately discriminated between transplants at high and low risk of progression (AUC 0·916). The 13 genes also accurately predicted early allograft loss (AUC 0·842 at 2 years and 0·844 at 3 years). We validated the predictive value of this gene set in an independent cohort from the GoCAR study (n=45, AUC 0·866) and two independent, publically available expression datasets (n=282, AUC 0·831 and n=24, AUC 0·972). Biopsies obtained prospectively 3 months after transplantation from renal allograft recipients (n=159) with stable renal function were analyzed for gene expression by Affymetrix exon arrays. Genes that were specifically correlated with 12-month Chronic Allograft Damage Index (CADI) but neither CADI in the 3 month biopsy nor other histological or clinical parameters were identified by correlation analysis. The minimal geneset was further identified to predict the progressors/non progressors and validated by qPCR in an independent cohort and two public datasets. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.
