MYC-mediated early glycolysis negatively regulates proinflammatory responses by controlling IRF4 in inflammatory macrophages.

ABSTRACT: MYC activates different metabolic programs in a cell-type- and cell-status-dependent manner. However, the role of MYC in inflammatory macrophages has not yet been determined. Metabolic and molecular analyses reveal that MYC, but not hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF1), is involved in enhancing early glycolytic flux during inflammatory macrophage polarization. Ablation of MYC decreases lactate production by regulating lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and causes increased inflammatory cytokines by regulating interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) in response to lipopolysaccharide. Moreover, myeloid-specific deletion of MYC and pharmacological inhibition of the MYC/LDH axis enhance inflammation and the bacterial clearance in vivo. These results elucidate the potential role of the MYC/LDH/IRF4 axis in inflammatory macrophages by connecting early glycolysis with inflammatory responses and suggest that modulating early glycolytic flux mediated by the MYC/LDH axis can be used to open avenues for the therapeutic modulation of macrophage polarization to fight against bacterial infection.

Project description:Previous studies have revealed that activation of the Toll‑like receptor 4 (TLR4)‑mediated proinflammatory signaling pathway plays an important role in acute inflammation, sepsis and chronic inflammatory disorders. Moreover, TLR4 significantly contributes to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced immune response. Thus, modulation of the TLR4 pathway is an important strategy to specifically target these pathologies. The aim of the present study was to develop a complete human anti‑TLR4 IgG2 antibody by screening human TLR4 Fab from a phage‑display library and integrating it with constant regions of the heavy chain of human IgG2 via antibody engineering. ELISA, a BLItz system and fluorescence‑activated cell sorting were used to assess its affinity. Furthermore, mouse‑derived peritoneal macrophages were treated with human anti‑TLR4 IgG2 and induced with LPS in vitro. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to determine mRNA expression levels of cytokines and phosphorylation levels of signaling pathways, respectively. It was found that human anti‑TLR4 IgG2 bound to TLR4 with a high affinity of 8.713x10‑10 M, and that preincubation with anti‑TLR4 IgG2 inhibited the LPS‑induced production of tumor necrosis factor‑α, interferon‑β and interleukin‑6 mRNA expression levels in mouse peritoneal macrophages. It was also demonstrated that human anti‑TLR4 IgG2 inhibited LPS‑induced TLR4 signaling by reducing the phosphorylation of the NF‑κB, mitogen‑activated protein kinase and interferon regulatory factor 3 signaling pathways. In addition, human anti‑TLR4 IgG2 protected mice from LPS challenge with a survival rate of 40% and also significantly increased the survival time in the cecal ligation and puncture model. Therefore, it was speculated that human anti‑TLR4 IgG2 plays a protective role against sepsis‑associated injury and is potentially applicable for the treatment of infection‑associated immune dysfunction.
