Single cell RNA sequencing of total peritoneal cells from Beclinf/f-Lyz2cre mice

ABSTRACT: In Beclinf/f-Lyz2cre mice, we observed proinflammatory activation of tissue-resident peritoneal macrophages. These mice were resistent to lethal bacterial infection with Listeria. It is important to understand how the peritoneal immunity is affected by Beclin deletion in myeloid cells. To characterize the immune cells in the peritoneum, we performed single cell RNA sequencing of total peritoneal cells from Beclinf/f-Lyz2cre and littermate control Beclinf/f mice. The single cell RNA-seq analyses revealed profound changes in both the myeloid compartment and bystander cells.

Project description:Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a widely used kidney replacement therapy for patients with end-stage kidney disease. Nevertheless, long-term exposure to PD fluid can damage the peritoneal membrane, leading to ultrafiltration failure and, ultimately, discontinuation of PD. Investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying this damage is essential for identifying new therapeutic targets to mitigate peritoneal deterioration in PD patients. To this end, we employed RNA sequencing in a preclinical model of peritoneal injury, induced by prolonged chlorhexidine (CHX) exposure, which revealed cytosolic DNA-sensing signaling as a novel pathway. Next, we demonstrated that key players in this pathway, such as the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and its downstream signaling effectors (interferon regulatory factor 3, interferon-stimulated genes, and nuclear factor-κB signaling), were upregulated in experimental peritoneal damage. Moreover, increased STING expression was observed in human peritoneal biopsies from patients with PD. Subsequent studies in STING-deficient mice showed reduced proinflammatory gene expression and immune cell infiltration, together with inhibited nuclear factor-κB pathway activation at both early (10 days) and late (30 days) stages of CHX-induced peritoneal injury. STING deficiency also reduced peritoneal membrane thickening, fibrosis, and mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (MMT)-related changes in advanced CHX-induced damage. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of STING with C-176 attenuated CHX-induced peritoneal inflammation. Macrophages were identified as one of the STING-expressing cell types in the injured peritoneum. Hence, in vitro STING blockade in activated macrophages inhibited MMT in cultured mesothelial cells, suggesting that STING activation in this population may drive peritoneal fibrosis. Additionally, STING deficiency reduced peritoneal inflammation in S. epidermidis-induced peritonitis and decreased adhesion scores in a postsurgical intra-abdominal adhesion model. These findings identify STING as a pivotal mediator of peritoneal injury and support its potential as a novel therapeutic target to prevent PD-associated ultrafiltration failure. © 2025 The Author(s).
