The innate immune system is absolutely required for host defence, but, uncontrolled, it leads to inflammatory disease. This control is mediated, in part, by cytokines that are secreted by macrophages. Immune regulation is extraordinarily complex, and can be best investigated with systems approaches (that is, using computational tools to predict regulatory networks arising from global, high-throughput data sets). Here we use cluster analysis of a comprehensive set of transcriptomic data derived f ...[more]

Project description:Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipid-loaded macrophages in the arterial wall. Intimal macrophages internalize modified lipoproteins such as oxidized LDL (oxLDL) through scavenger receptors, leading to storage of excess cholesteryl esters in lipid bodies and a "foam cell" phenotype. In addition, stimulation of macrophage Toll-like receptors (TLRs) has been shown to promote lipid body proliferation. We investigated the possibility that there are transcriptional regulators that are common to both pathways for stimulating foam cell formation (modified lipoproteins and TLR stimulation), and identified the transcription factor ATF3 as a candidate regulator. In this specific microarray study, we re-analyzed a subset of the data from a 2006 microarray experiment (Gilchrist et al., Nature, 441:173-178, 2006) in which wild-type and Atf3-/- murine macrophages were stimulated with LPS. The goal of this analysis was to identify genes whose LPS responses are significantly affected by loss of ATF3 in macrophages, using up-to-date genome annotations. The raw microarray data files included in this submission were originally released to the public as a part of a larger microarray dataset that accompanied the Gilchrist et al. study (ArrayExpress accession # E-TABM-102). These data were re-analyzed using the CustomCDF v13 ENSG probesets as a part of a transcriptomic study of the response of macrophages to stimuli, including LPS, that induce foam cell formation (see GSE32358 and GSE32359). In the Gilchrist study, the experiment design was as follows: Female mice of the indicated strains were sacrificed at 8-12 weeks of age, and macrophages were derived from the femoral bone marrow using rhM-CSF. On day six, macrophages were plated and LPS introduced into the medium as indicated. After four hours, RNA was isolated using Trizol. Labeled cRNA derived from the RNA samples was hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 GeneChips. For the current study, probe-level instensity data were re-processed using gene-level probesets from the CustomCDF project (ENSG, v13), and are in log2 scale.

Project description:Elevated plasma levels of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) are associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The protective role of HDL in atherosclerosis has been attributed primarily to its ability to remove excess cholesterol from lipid-laden macrophages (foam cells) within the arterial walls. However, clinical trials that raise HDL cholesterol levels have failed to show a benefit casting doubts on our basic understanding of HDL function. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory condition underlying CVD and driven in part by the recognition of metabolic danger signals by innate immune receptors on macrophages. A potential feature that could contribute to HDL’s protective effects in CVD could be HDL's anti-inflammatory nature, such as its ability to reduce endothelial cell activation. However, the molecular mechanisms by which HDL reduces inflammatory macrophage responses remain poorly understood and difficult to separate from its cholesterol depleting activity. Here we show that HDL protects against Toll like receptor (TLR)-induced inflammation both in vivo and in vitro under normocholesteremic conditions by suppressing the transcription of inflammatory cytokines in a manner independent of its ability to remove cellular cholesterol. We identify Activating Transcription Factor 3 (ATF3), a transcriptional repressor of the CREB family of basic leucine zipper transcription factors, as a HDL-inducible regulator of macrophage activation. HDL’s ability to down modulate TLR responses was severely compromised in ATF3-deficient cells demonstrating that ATF3 mediates HDL's anti-inflammatory effects and may explain the broad anti-inflammatory functions of HDL. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were obtained by culturing bone marrow cells from 6 to 8 week old wildtype C57BL/6 mice in DMEM supplemented with 10% FCS, 10 mg ml-1 Ciprobay-500 and 40 ng ml-1 M-CSF (R & D Systems). BMDMs of wt mice were pretreated for 6 h with HDL (2 mg ml-1 ) then stimulated with CpG (100 nM) for 4 h. Further wild type or Atf3-deficient BMDMs were pretreated with 2 mg ml-1 HDL for 6 h and subsequently stimulated with CpG (100 nM) or P3C (50 ng ml-1) for 4 h. For carotid artery injury approximately 12-week old male WT and Atf3-deficient mice were anesthetized with i.p. injection of 150 mg/kg ketaminehydrochloride (Ketanest, Pharmacia) and 0.1 mg/kg xylazinehydrochloride (Rompun 2%, Bayer). A small incision from the cranial apex of the sternum to just below the mandible was made. After careful preparation of an approximately 6 mm long segment proximal of the bifurcation, the common carotid artery was electrically denuded. A 4 mm long lesion was made by applying two serial 5 second bursts of 2 Watt using 2 mm wide forceps. The skin was then sutured and the mice allowed to recover in individual cages before returning to their littermates. Three hours later the mice received a single 200 ?l i.v. injection of 20 mg/kg HDL or PBS.
