Surfactant protein-D modulation of pulmonary macrophage phenotype is controlled by S-nitrosylation.

ABSTRACT: Surfactant protein-D (SP-D) is a regulator of pulmonary innate immunity whose oligomeric state can be altered through S-nitrosylation to regulate its signaling function in macrophages. Here, we examined how nitrosylation of SP-D alters the phenotypic response of macrophages to stimuli both in vivo and in vitro. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from C57BL6/J and SP-D-overexpressing (SP-D OE) mice was incubated with RAW264.7 cells ± LPS. LPS induces the expression of the inflammatory genes Il1b and Nos2, which is reduced 10-fold by SP-D OE-BAL. S-nitrosylation of the SP-D OE-BAL (SNO-SP-D OE-BAL) abrogated this inhibition. SNO-SP-D OE-BAL alone induced Il1b and Nos2 expression. PCR array analysis of macrophages incubated with SP-D OE-BAL (±LPS) shows inc
