The Gene Signature of Activated M-CSF-Primed Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages Is IL-10-Dependent.

ABSTRACT: During inflammatory responses, monocytes are recruited into inflamed tissues, where they become monocyte-derived macrophages and acquire pro-inflammatory and tissue-damaging effects in response to the surrounding environment. In fact, monocyte-derived macrophage subsets are major pathogenic cells in inflammatory pathologies. Strikingly, the transcriptome of pathogenic monocyte-derived macrophage subsets resembles the gene profile of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF)-primed monocyte-derived human macrophages (M-MØ). As M-MØ display a characteristic cytokine profile after activation (IL10high TNFlow IL23low IL6low), we sought to determine the transcriptional signature of M-MØ upon exposure to pathogenic stimuli. Activation of M-MØ led to the acquisition of a distinctive transcriptional profile characterized by the induction of a group of genes (Gene set 1) highly expressed by pathogenic monocyte-derived macrophages in COVID-19 and whose presence in tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) correlates with the expression of macrophage-specific markers (CD163, SPI1) and IL10. Indeed, Gene set 1 expression was primarily dependent on ERK/p38 and STAT3 activation, and transcriptional analysis and neutralization experiments revealed that IL-10 is not only required for the expression of a subset of genes within Gene set 1 but also significantly contributes to the idiosyncratic gene signature of activated M-MØ. Our results indicate that activation of M-CSF-dependent monocyte-derived macrophages induces a distinctive gene expression profile, which is partially dependent on IL-10, and identifies a gene set potentially helpful for macrophage-centered therapeutic strategies.

Project description:Macrophages are an important line of defence against invading pathogens. Human macrophages derived by different methods were tested for their suitability as models to investigate Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) infection and compared to macrophage-like THP-1 cells. Human primary monocytes were isolated by either positive or negative immunomagnetic selection and differentiated in the presence of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) into pro- or anti-inflammatory macrophages, respectively. Regardless of the isolation method, GM-CSF-derived macrophages (GM-Mφ) stained positive for CD206 and M-CSF-derived macrophages (M-Mφ) for CD163. THP-1 cells did not express CD206 or CD163 following incubation with PMA, M- or GM-CSF alone or in combination. Upon infection with Lm, all primary macrophages showed good survival at high multiplicities of infection whereas viability of THP-1 was severely reduced even at lower bacterial numbers. M-Mφ generally showed high phagocytosis of Lm. Strikingly, phagocytosis of Lm by GM-Mφ was markedly influenced by the method used for isolation of monocytes. GM-Mφ derived from negatively isolated monocytes showed low phagocytosis of Lm whereas GM-Mφ generated from positively selected monocytes displayed high phagocytosis of Lm. Moreover, incubation with CD14 antibody was sufficient to enhance phagocytosis of Lm by GM-Mφ generated from negatively isolated monocytes. By contrast, non-specific phagocytosis of latex beads by GM-Mφ was not influenced by treatment with CD14 antibody. Furthermore, phagocytosis of Lactococcus lactis, Escherichia coli, human cytomegalovirus and the protozoan parasite Leishmania major by GM-Mφ was not enhanced upon treatment with CD14 antibody indicating that this effect is specific for Lm. Based on these observations, we propose macrophages derived by ex vivo differentiation of negatively selected human primary monocytes as the most suitable model to study Lm infection of macrophages.

Project description:Macrophages are a heterogeneous population of immune cells that exhibit dynamic plasticity, polarize into inflammatory or regulatory/pro-resolving macrophages, and influence the healing tissue microenvironment. This study evaluated the in-vitro morphological, proliferative, cell surface marker expression and cytokine/soluble factor secretion characteristics of control, GM-CSF pretreated and inflammatory (LPS+IFN-γ) and regulatory (IL-4 + IL-10) differentiated equine CD14+ monocyte-derived macrophages. Phase contrast microscopy demonstrated that LPS+IFN-γ-primed macrophages exhibited a rounded, granular morphology, whereas IL-4 +IL-10-primed macrophages were elongated with a spindle-shaped morphology. GM-CSF enhanced the proliferation rate of monocytes/macrophages during adherent in-vitro culture. Flow cytometry analysis showed that GM-CSF alone and GM-CSF pretreatment with LPS+IFN-γ or IL-4 +IL-10 priming increased CD86 immunopositivity by 2-fold (p = 0.6); and CD206 immunopositivity remained unchanged. GM-CSF pretreatment and subsequent priming with LPS and IFN-γ yielded inflammatory macrophages that secrete significantly increased quantities of IL-1β compared to control (p = 0.012) and IL-4 +IL-10-primed (p = 0.0047) macrophages. GM-CSF pretreatment followed by both LPS + IFN-γ and IL-4 + IL-10 priming significantly increased IL-1Ra secretion by 6-fold (p < 0.05). There were no differences in TGFβ-1 secretion among control, LPS+IFN-γ or IL-4 + IL-10 primed macrophages (p = 0.85). All groups contained an average of 643 ± 51.5 pg/mL of TGFβ1. Among the culture conditions evaluated, IL-4 +IL-10 priming for 24 h after 6 days of adherent culture yielded macrophages that were the least inflammatory compared to GM-CSF pretreated and LPS+IFN-γ or IL-4 +IL-10-primed macrophages. These results provide a basis for subsequent in-vitro and in-vivo studies that investigate macrophage-tissue cell interactions and related biological mechanisms relevant to the field of immunomodulatory approaches for enhancing tissue healing.
