Whole-transcriptome analysis of spleens from WT and myeloid ferritin H-deficient animals upon Salmonella infection

ABSTRACT: Iron is an essential nutrient for humans as well as for pathogens. Hence, its correct distribution at the systemic and cellular level is mandatory for mounting an effective innate immune defense. Here we delved into the role of macrophage-expressed iron storing protein ferritin H (FTH) in immune response against the model intracellular pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium. Mice lacking FTH in the myeloid lineage (LysM-Cre+/+ Fthfl/fl) displayed impaired iron storage capacities in tissue leukocyte compartment, increased levels of labile iron in macrophages and an accelerated macrophage-mediated iron turnover. Without iron supplementation, wildtype (WT) and LysM-Cre+/+ Fthfl/fl animals showed comparable susceptibility to Salmonella infection. Interestingly, iron supplementation rapidly elicited symptoms of cytokine storm and drastically shortened survival of LysM-Cre+/+ Fthfl/fl mice. Mechanistically, we traced this phenotype back to labile iron-mediated hyperactivity of the inflammasome in FTH-deficient macrophages, culminating in excessive IL-1β secretion and secondary triggering of NF-kappaB-dependent inflammatory circuits. Accordingly, bacterial burden and cytokine levels in iron-loaded LysM-Cre+/+ Fthfl/fl mice could be effectively kept at bay by pharmacological inflammasome and IL-1β blockade. These findings point towards a previously unrecognized role of ferritin as an inhibitor of iron-dependent inflammasome activity in macrophages and a checkpoint of systemic innate response.

IL-4 stimulation of Dicer deficient bone-marrow derived macrophages in vitro

Project description:Macrophages were derived from the bone-marrow of 3 x fl/+ Dicer LysCre +/- (wild-type) and 3 x fl/fl Dicer LysCre +/- mice and stimulated with IL-4 (50ng/mL) for 72h. Total RNA was isolated and analyzed by gene array. In this experiment, we derived Dicer deficient bone-marrow macrophages using Dicer fl/+ LysM-Cre by Dicer fl/+ crossed mice to obtain Dicer fl/fl LysM-cre progeny (and Dicer deficient macrophages). Next, we studied the effects of IL-4 stimulation in macrophage with a deficiency in Dicer/microRNAs.

Iron and kidney macrophages in CKD

Project description:Systemic iron metabolism is disrupted in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, little is known about local kidney iron homeostasis and its role in kidney fibrosis. Kidney-specific effects of iron therapy in CKD also remain elusive. Here, we elucidate the role of macrophage iron status in kidney fibrosis and demonstrate that it is a potential therapeutic target. In CKD, kidney macrophages exhibited depletion of labile iron pool (LIP) and induction of transferrin receptor 1, indicating intracellular iron deficiency. Low LIP in kidney macrophages was associated with their defective antioxidant response and proinflammatory polarization. Repletion of LIP in kidney macrophages through knockout of ferritin heavy chain (Fth1) reduced oxidative stress and mitigated fibrosis. Similar to Fth1 knockout, iron dextran therapy, through replenishing macrophage LIP, reduced oxidative stress, decreased the production of proinflammatory cytokines, and alleviated kidney fibrosis. Interestingly, iron markedly decreased TGF-β expression and suppressed TGF-β–driven fibrotic response of macrophages. Iron dextran therapy and FtH suppression had an additive protective effect against fibrosis. Adoptive transfer of iron-loaded macrophages alleviated kidney fibrosis, validating the protective effect of iron-replete macrophages in CKD. Thus, targeting intracellular iron deficiency of kidney macrophages in CKD can serve as a therapeutic opportunity to mitigate disease progression.

Meteorin in macrophages regulates hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells

Project description:We show that meteorin (Metrn) from hypoxic macrophages restrains hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) proliferation and mobilization. In macrophages specific Metrn knockout mice, reactive oxygen species levels in HSCs were upregulated through activating phospholipase C signaling. Macrophage specific knockout mice for Metrn (Metrn-fl/fl*LysM-Cre) were generated. Transcriptome profiling (RNA-Seq) and differential gene expression analysis of bone marrow LSK (lin- sca-1+ c-kit+) cells from Metrn-fl/fl*LysM-Cre (Metrn-cKO) and Metrn-fl/fl mice was performed. Metrn cKO mice showed a regulatory role for HSPCs by macrophages.

Knockout of the selenocysteine tRNA (Trsp) gene in mouse macrophage

Project description:Comparative analysis of gene expression in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) from trsp knockout mice (Trspfl/fl-LysM-Cre+/-) and Control (Trspfl/fl-LysM-Cre-/-) mice. Selenium, a micronutrient whose deficiency in the diet causes immune dysfunction and inflammatory disorders, exerts its physiological effects partly in the form of selenium-containing proteins (selenoproteins). Incorporation of selenium into the amino acid selenocysteine (Sec), and subsequently into selenoproteins, is mediated by Sec tRNA[Ser]Sec. To identify macrophage-specific selenoprotein function, we generated mice with the Sec tRNA[Ser]Sec gene specifically deleted in myeloid cells. These mutant mice were devoid of the selenoproteome in macrophages, yet exhibited largely normal inflammatory responses. However, selenoprotein deficiency led to aberrant expression of extracellular matrix-related genes, and diminished migration of macrophages in a protein gel matrix. Therefore, selenium status may affect immune defense and tissue homeostasis through its effect on selenoprotein expression and the trafficking of tissue macrophages. We have generated mice in which we have selectively removed the selenocysteine tRNA gene (trsp) in macrophages under the control of LysM-Cre promoter. Microarray analysis was performed on RNA samples taken from bone marrow-derived macrophages in knockout and control mice. 1. Control unstimulated 2. Knockout unstimulated 3. Control lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated (4h) 4. Knockout LPS stimulated (4h). Three replicates for each condition. Thus, a total of 12 samples.

TANK binding kinase 1 induces transcription factor BACH1 to regulate iron metabolism in pancreatic cancer cells

Project description:BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) represses the expression of genes involved in the metabolism of iron, heme and reactive oxygen species and promotes metastasis of various cancers including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Knockdown of Tank binding kinase 1 (TBK1) led to reductions of BACH1 mRNA and protein amounts in AsPC-1 human PDAC cells. Gene expression analysis of PDAC cells with knockdown of TBK1 or BACH1 suggested the involvement of TBK1 and BACH1 in the regulation of iron homeostasis. Ferritin was increased upon BACH1 knockdown in AsPC-1 cells. Cytometry analysis showed that AsPC-1 cells with BACH1 knockout or knockdown contained lower labile iron than control cells, suggesting that BACH1 increased labile iron by repressing the expression of ferritin genes.

Transcriptome profiling of blood leukocytes from FtH LysM-/- and FtH fl/fl mice following sham or CLP surgery

Project description:Despite the prevalence and recognition of its detrimental impact, clinical complications of sepsis remain a major challenge. Here, we investigated the effects of myeloid ferritin heavy chain (FtH) in regulating the pathogenic sequelae of sepsis. We demonstrate that deletion of myeloid FtH leads to tolerance towards sepsis as evidenced by reduced serum cytokine levels, multi-organ dysfunction and subsequent mortality. We identified that such tolerance is predominantly mediated by the compensatory increase in circulating ferritin (ferritin light chain; FtL) in the absence of myeloid FtH. Our in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that prior exposure to ferritin provides significant tolerance to the septic process by restraining an otherwise dysregulated response to infection. These findings are mediated by an inhibitory action of ferritin on NF-κB activation and its downstream effects. Taken together, our findings suggest an essential immunomodulatory function for circulating ferritin and enhances our understanding of this acute phase reactant.
