Gene expression profiling of human decidual macrophages

ABSTRACT: Uterine macrophages are thought to play an important regulatory role at the maternal-fetal interface. We report here a unique gene expression pattern intrinsic of first trimester decidual monocytes/macrophages, but not of their blood counterparts. The micro-array data comprises approximately 14,000 genes. Some of the key findings were confirmed by real time PCR or secreted protein measurements. A large number of regulated genes were found to be functionally related to immunomodulation and tissue remodelling, corroborating polarization patterns of differentiated macrophages of M2 phenotype. These include M2 markers such as CCL-18, CD209, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, mannose receptor c type (MRC)-1 and fibronectin-1. Further, the selective up-regulation of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM)-2, alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) and prostaglandin D2 synthase (PGDS) provides new insights into the regulatory function of decidual macrophages in pregnancy. In addition, a large number of regulated genes in the micro-array analysis were related to cell cycle regulation. Taken together, molecular characterization of decidual macrophages presents a unique transcriptional profile replete with important components for fetal immunoprotection. Keywords: disease state analysis, comparative gene expression

Proteomic profiling of human decidual immune proteins during Toxoplasma gondii infection

Project description:A Toxoplasma gondii infection during pregnancy can result in spontaneous abortion, preterm labor, or congenital fetal defects. The decidual immune system plays a critical role in regulating the immune micro-environment and in the induction of immune tolerance. To better understand the factors that mediate the decidual immune response associated with the T. gondii infection, a large-scale study employing TMT proteomics was conducted to characterize the differential decidual immune proteomes from infected and uninfected human decidual immune cells samples. The decidual immune cells from 105 human voluntary abortion tissues were purified, and of the 5510 unique proteins identified, 181 proteins were found to be differentially abundant (>1.2-fold cutoff, P＜0.05) in the T. gondii-infected decidual immune cells. 11 proteins of 181 differentially expressed proteins associated with trophoblast invasion, placental development, intrauterine fetal growth, and immune tolerance were verified using a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. This systematic research identified a broad range of immune factors in human decidual immune cells, shedding a new insight into the decidual immune molecular mechanism for abnormal pregnancy outcomes associated with T. gondii infection.

Methylome of Fetal and Maternal Monocytes and Macrophages at the Feto-Maternal Interface

Project description:Maternal and fetal monocytes and tissue macrophages (decidual macrophages, Hofbauer cells) at the feto-maternal interface have different methylome. Paired and balanced design. We compared maternal blood monocytes (MB) vs. cord blood monocytes (CB), maternal blood monocytes (MB) vs. decidual macrophages (Deci), cord blood monocytes (CB) vs placental macrophages (villi) and decidual macrophages (Deci) vs. placental macrophages (villi).

Investigate A2M treatment on human prostate cancer xenograft in mice

Project description:Cancer resistance is a major cause for longevity of the naked mole-rat. Recent liver transcriptome analysis in this animal compared to wild-derived mice revealed higher expression of alpha2-macroglobulin (A2M) and cell adhesion molecules, which contribute to the naked mole-rat’s cancer resistance. Notably, A2M is known to dramatically decrease with age in humans. We hypothesize that this might facilitate tumor development. Here we found that A2M modulates tumor cell adhesion, migration and growth by inhibition of tumor promoting signalling pathways, e.g. PI3K / AKT, SMAD and up-regulated PTEN via down-regulation of miR-21, in vitro and in tumor xenografts. A2M increases the expression of CD29 and CD44 but did not evoke EMT. Transcriptome analysis of A2M-treated tumor cells, xenografts and mouse liver demonstrated a multifaceted regulation of tumor promoting signalling pathways indicating a less tumorigenic environment mediated by A2M. By virtue of these multiple actions the naturally occurring A2M has strong potential as a novel therapeutic agent.

Placental exosomes polarize human monocyte-derived macrophages to a decidual M2-like macrophage phenotype

Project description:Macrophages are abundant in uterine mucosa during the peri-implantation phase and early pregnancy. Decidual macrophages display dynamic changes alone with pregnancy progress: During the peri-implantation phase, macrophages displayed a pro-inflammatory phenotype which facilitates embryo implantation. While, In the late firster trimester and second trimester, decidual macrophages are anti-proinflammatory which are helpful to pregnancy maintenance. Alterations in the ratio of pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory decidual macrophages lead to abortion, preeclampsia, and preterm birth. Placenta-derived exosomes (pEXO) are critical in the immune cell modulation such as T cell apoptosis, NK activities, and T regulatory (Treg) differentiation. However, it is unknown whether placenta-derived exosomes contribute to decidual macrophage polarization during early pregnancy. Here we report that exosomes from the placenta explant stimulate M2 macrophage polarization via exosomal miRNA-30d-5p. Mechanistically, miRNA-30d-5p polarized macrophages to M2 phenotype by inhibiting HDAC9 expression. Furthermore, the conditioned medium of pEXO-treated macrophages promoted trophoblast migration and invasion. By contrast, conditioned medium impaired the ability of endothelial cell tube formation. However, pEXO-treated macrophages have no impact on T cell proliferation. Together, we demonstrated that pEXO promoted trophoblast migration and invasion, endothelial cell migration, and attenuation of endothelial cell tube formation by polarizing macrophage to decidua-like macrophage.

Effect of hyperglycemia on the transcriptional profile of primary human macrophages

Project description:Hyperglycemia is an essential factor leading to micro- and macrovascular diabetic complications. Macrophages are key innate immune regulators of inflammation that undergo 2 major directions of functional polarization: classically (M1) and alternatively (M2) activated macrophages. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of hyperglycemia on transcriptional activation of M0, M1 and M2 human macrophages.

Gene expression profile of decidual macrophages and different in vitro M1 and M2 macrophage populations

Project description:Uterine (decidual) macrophages (M) are believed to play an important role in fetal tolerance during pregnancy, but the factors that regulate them are not known. In this study we investigated the potential role of several factors (M-CSF, GM-CSF, IL-4/13, IL-10, progesterone and estradiol) to drive the differentiation and polarization of human decidual M by using an in vitro M differentiation model. To estimate the similarity of the in vitro differentiated M with decidual M, we used the present gene expression array. The array consisted of 420 M-related genes, including 100 genes highly regulated in decidual M based on the gene expression profile previously reported (Gustafsson et al, 2008, PLoS ONE. 3(4): e2078). The analysis focused on the 100 decidual M-associated genes. Comparative expression analysis of CD14+ cells isolated from blood (3 samples) or decidua (3 samples) from pregnant women, CD14+ cells isolated from non-pregnant women (14 samples) and different types of in vitro-generated macrophages (55 samples). A total of 75 samples were anlayzed.

Regulatory T cell adoptive transfer alters uterine macrophage populations, increasing a novel MHC-II-low macrophage associated with healthy pregnancy.

Project description:To investigate local immune mechanisms of intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), we used the CBA mouse strain, which naturally has mid-late gestation fetal loss. We performed a Treg adoptive transfer and interrogated both pregnancy outcomes and the impact of systemic maternal Tregs on mucosal immune populations at the maternal-fetal interface. Treg transfer prevented fetal loss and increased an MHC-IIlow population of uterine macrophages. Single-cell RNA-sequencing was utilized to precisely evaluate the impact of systemic Tregs on uterine myeloid populations. A population of C1q+, Trem2+, MHC-IIlow uterine macrophages were increased in Treg-recipient mice. The transcriptional signature of this novel uterine macrophage subtype is enriched in multiple studies of human healthy decidual macrophages, suggesting a conserved role for these macrophages in preventing fetal loss.
