Macrophage Dectin-1 mediates Ang II renal injury through neutrophil migration and TGF-β1 secretion.

ABSTRACT: Macrophage activation has been shown to play an essential role in renal fibrosis and dysfunction in hypertensive chronic kidney disease. Dectin-1 is a pattern recognition receptor that is also involved in chronic noninfectious diseases through immune activation. However, the role of Dectin-1 in Ang II-induced renal failure is still unknown. In this study, we found that Dectin-1 expression on CD68 + macrophages was significantly elevated in the kidney after Ang II infusion. We assessed the effect of Dectin-1 on hypertensive renal injury using Dectin-1-deficient mice infused by Angiotensin II (Ang II) at 1000 ng/kg/min for 4 weeks. Ang II-induced renal dysfunction, interstitial fibrosis, and immune activation were significantly attenuated in Dectin-1-deficient mice. A Dectin-1 neutralizing antibody and Syk inhibitor (R406) were used to examine the effect and mechanism of Dectin-1/Syk signaling axle on cytokine secretion and renal fibrosis in culturing cells. Blocking Dectin-1 or inhibiting Syk significantly reduced the expression and secretion of chemokines in RAW264.7 macrophages. The in vitro data showed that the increase in TGF-β1 in macrophages enhanced the binding of P65 and its target promotor via the Ang II-induced Dectin-1/Syk pathway. Secreted TGF-β1 caused renal fibrosis in kidney cells through Smad3 activation. Thus, macrophage Dectin-1 may be involved in the activation of neutrophil migration and TGF-β1 secretion, thereby promoting kidney fibrosis and dysfunction.

Project description:BackgroundThe pattern recognition receptor Dectin-1 was initially discovered to play a pivotal role in mediating pulmonary antifungal immunity and promoting neutrophil-driven inflammation. Recent studies have revealed that Dectin-1 is overexpressed in asthma, but the specific mechanism remains elusive. Additionally, Dectin-1 has been implicated in promoting pyroptosis, a hallmark of severe asthma airway inflammation. Nevertheless, the involvement of the non-classical pyroptosis signal caspase-11/4 and its upstream regulatory mechanisms in asthma has not been completely explored.MethodsHouse dust mite (HDM)-induced mice was treated with Dectin-1 agonist Curdlan, Dectin-1 inhibitor Laminarin, and caspase-11 inhibitor wedelolactone separately. Subsequently, inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were analyzed. Western blotting was performed to measure the protein expression of caspase-11 and gasdermin D (GSDMD). Cell pyroptosis and the expression of chemokine were detected in vitro. The correlation between Dectin-1 expression, pyroptosis factors and neutrophils in the induced sputum of asthma patients was analyzed.ResultsCurdlan appeared to exacerbate neutrophil airway inflammation in asthmatic mice, whereas wedelolactone effectively alleviated airway inflammation aggravated by Curdlan. Moreover, Curdlan enhanced the release of caspase-11 activation fragments and N-terminal fragments of gasdermin D (GSDMD-N) stimulated by HDM both in vivo or in vitro. In mouse alveolar macrophages (MH-S cells), Curdlan/HDM stimulation resulted in vacuolar degeneration and elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. In addition, there was an upregulation of neutrophil chemokines CXCL1, CXCL3, CXCL5 and their receptor CXCR2, which was suppressed by wedelolactone. In asthma patients, a positive correlation was observed between the expression of Dectin-1 on macrophages and caspase-4 (the human homology of caspase-11), and the proportion of neutrophils in induced sputum.ConclusionDectin-1 activation in asthma induced caspase-11/4 mediated macrophage pyroptosis, which subsequently stimulated the secretion of chemokines, leading to the exacerbation of airway neutrophil inflammation.
