Chronic stress primes innate immune responses in mice and humans

ABSTRACT: Psychological stress (PS) is associated with systemic inflammation and accelerates inflammatory disease progression (e.g., atherosclerosis). The mechanisms underlying stress-mediated inflammation and future health risk are poorly understood. Monocytes are key in sustaining systemic inflammation, and recent studies demonstrate they maintain memory of inflammatory insults, leading to a heightened inflammatory response upon rechallenge. We show that PS induces remodeling of the chromatin landscape and transcriptomic reprogramming of monocytes skewing them to a primed hyperinflammatory phenotype. Monocytes from stressed mice and humans exhibit a characteristic inflammatory transcriptomic signature and are hyperresponsive upon stimulation with Toll-like receptor ligands. RNA and ATAC sequencing reveal that monocytes from stressed mice and humans exhibit activation of metabolic pathways (mTOR and PI3Kinase) and reduced chromatin accessibility at mitochondrial respiration loci. Collectively, our findings suggest that PS primes the reprogramming of myeloid cells to a hyperresponsive inflammatory state, which may explain how PS confers inflammatory disease risk.

Identification of cell-intrinsic effects of clonal hematopoiesis in heart failure

Project description:Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is caused by somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells and is associated with worse prognosis in heart failure patients. Patients harboring CHIP mutations show enhanced inflammation. However, whether these signatures are derived from the relatively low number of cells harboring mutations or are indicators of a systemic pro-inflammatory activation that is associated with CHIP is unclear. In this study, we assessed the cell-intrinsic effects of CHIP mutant-carrying cells in patients with heart failure. Using an improved protocol to detect mutant cells on a single cell level (MutDetect-Seq), we show that DNMT3A mutant monocytes exhibit altered gene expression profiles associated with inflammation and phagolysosome function. Gene expression was also significantly altered in DNMT3A mutant CD4+ T cells and NK cells, but not CD8 T cells. DNMT3A silenced CD4+ T cells and NK cells showed increased effector functions. Moreover, increased paracrine signaling pathways are predicted and validated between mutated and wild monocytes and T cells, which amplify inflammatory circuits. Taken together, these data provide novel insights into how CHIP might promote worse prognosis in heart failure patients.

Loss of Dnmt3a impairs hematopoietic homeostasis and myeloid cell skewing via the PI3Kinase pathway II

Project description:Inhibition of PI3K rescues Dnmt3a loss driven leukemia. The signaling pathways by which DNMT3A mutations contribute to myeloid transformation are poorly understood. We investigated that loss of Dnmt3a in HSC/Ps results in myeloproliferation, which is associated with hyperactivation of the PI3Kinase pathway.

TNF and CD28 signaling play unique but complementary roles in the systemic recruitment of innate immune cells after Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A inhalation

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins cause debilitating systemic inflammatory responses, but how they spread systemically and trigger cascading inflammation is unclear. Here, we showed in mice that after inhalation, Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A rapidly entered the bloodstream and induced T cells to orchestrate systemic recruitment of inflammatory monocytes and neutrophils. To study the mechanism used by specific T cells that mediate this process, a systems approach revealed inducible and non-inducible pathways as potential targets. It was found that TNF induced neutrophil entry into the peripheral blood, while CD28 signaling, but not TNF, was needed for chemotaxis of inflammatory monocytes into blood and lymphoid tissue. However, both pathways triggered local recruitment of neutrophils into lymph nodes. Thus, our findings revealed a dual mechanism of monocyte and neutrophil recruitment by T cells relying on overlapping and non-overlapping roles for the non-inducible costimulatory receptor CD28 and the inflammatory cytokine TNF. During sepsis, there might be clinical value in inhibiting CD28 signaling to decrease T cell-mediated inflammation and recruitment of innate cells while retaining bioactive TNF to foster neutrophil circulation.

Global genome expression analysis of lamina propria derived WT and Nlrp6-/- Ly6C-hi inflammatory monocytes

Project description:Nlrp6-/- lamina propria Ly6C-hi monocytes in response to AOM/DSS have deficient TNFÎ± production, but increased production of other pro-inflammatory cytokines as compared to WT NLRP6 is a member of the Nod-like receptor family, whose members are involved in the recognition of microbes and/or tissue injury. NLRP6 was previously demonstrated to regulate the production of IL-18 and is important for protecting mice against chemically-induced intestinal injury and colitis-associated colon cancer. However, the cellular mechanisms by which NLRP6 reduces susceptibility to colonic inflammation remain unclear. Here, we determined that NLRP6 expression is specifically upregulated in Ly6Chi inflammatory monocytes that infiltrate into the colon during dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced inflammation. Adoptive transfer of WT Ly6Chi inflammatory monocytes into Nlrp6-/- mice was sufficient to protect them from mortality, significantly reducing intestinal permeability and damage. NLRP6-deficient inflammatory monocytes were specifically defective in TNFÎ± production, which was important for reducing DSS-induced mortality and dependent on autocrine IL-18 signaling by inflammatory monocytes. Our data reveal a previously unappreciated role for NLRP6 in inflammatory monocytes, which are recruited during intestinal injury to promote barrier function and limit bacteria-driven inflammation. This study also highlights the importance of early cytokine responses, particularly NLRP6-dependent and IL-18-dependent TNFÎ± production in preventing chronic dysregulated inflammation. Ly6Chi monocytes were sorted from lamina propria of WT or Nlrp6-/- mice at day 10 of AOM/2%DSS. RNA was extracted and hybridized to the mouse 2.1 ST array.

Expression profiles of peripheral blood monocytes in periodontal therapy

Project description:Periodontal infections have been associated with systemic inflammation and risk for atherosclerosis and vascular disease. We investigated the effects of comprehensive periodontal therapy on gene expression of peripheral blood monocytes. Approximately 1/3 of the patients showed substantial changes in expression in genes relevant to innate immunity, apoptosis, and cell signaling. We concluded that periodontal therapy may alter monocytic gene expression in a manner consistent with a systemic anti-inflammatory effect. Keywords: time course,disease state analysis

Peripheral blood mononuclear cell hyperresponsiveness in patients with premature myocardial infarction without traditional risk factors

Project description:An increasing number of patients develop a myocardial infarction (MI) in the absence of standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRFs). Atherosclerosis is characterized by a chronic arterial wall inflammation in which monocyte-derived macrophages play a pivotal role. Trained immunity – a long lasting hyperreactive state of innate immune cells – might contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. This study investigated whether trained immunity is observed in this specific patient group. 20 SMuRFless MI patients who suffered an atherothrombotic myocardial infarction > 1 year and < 4 years before inclusion were recruited. All patients were younger than 50 years of age during the index event. Patients were matched to 18 healthy controls without coronary atherosclerosis as determined by a coronary CT-scan. Blood samples were obtained two weeks after interrupting statins in patients and starting aspirin therapy in controls to match relevant medication use. Circulating inflammatory parameters and monocytes were analyzed, with an in-depth focus on peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) function, and monocyte phenotype, RNA expression and epigenetic histone markers. PBMCs from SMuRFless patients showed higher cytokine production upon ex vivo stimulation. Although baseline RNA expression and monocyte activations markers were largely unchanged, enrichment of the transcriptionally permissive histone marker H3K4me3 on the promoter region of cytokine genes was observedIL-10 genes was observed. This existed without differences in systemic inflammation. Circulating monocytes in young SMuRFless MI patients have a hyperresponsive functional and epigenetic phenotype, indicative of trained immunity. In the absence of traditional risk factors, this could be a promising target for future therapy in these patients.

Innate tolerance is mediated by inhibition of specific signaling pathways rather than by epigenetic silencing of effector genes

Project description:Macrophages activated through a pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) enter a transient state of tolerance characterized by hyporesponsiveness to restimulation of the same receptor. Signaling-based and epigenetic mechanisms are invoked to explain tolerance. The epigenetic scenario predicts that: (i) activation of a PRR should cross-tolerize to agonists of unrelated PRRs; (ii) some genes become hyperresponsive to homologous rechallenge due to distinct chromatin modifications. We show that in human macrophages tolerized by TLR4 or NOD1 agonists, signaling and transcriptional responses to homologous stimuli are inhibited partially or completely. Many genes are upregulated due to primary stimulation, but are unresponsive to homologous restimulation. Gene hyperresponsiveness to homologous rechallenge is a rare and inconsistent phenomenon. However, most genes that have become unresponsive to homologous stimuli show unchanged or elevated responses to agonists of PRRs signaling via distinct pathways. Thus, inhibition of specific signaling pathways rather than epigenetic silencing is the dominant mechanism of innate tolerance.

Differential effect of glucocorticoids on the activation of monocytes and macrophages

Project description:The Glucocorticoid receptor (GR/NR3C1) is expressed in almost all immune cells. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are potent regulators of inflammation with effects mainly immunosuppressive. While, GCs have pleiotropic effects on Macrophages exhibiting complex properties with enhancing as well as suppressive effects on inflammatory processes depending on their stage of differentiation and activation, the mechanisms of GCs actions on Monocytes and Macrophages and their contribution to systemic anti-inflammatory effects remain unclear. Previously we have demonstrated that NLRP3 expression is induced by GCs in macrophages differentiated from monocytes-THP-1 but not in monocytes. These findings raise the possibility that the stage of myeloid differentiation and the cellular environment dictates the actions of GR from a pro- or anti-inflammatory perspective. Moreover, our preliminary results using the same cell line THP-1 show that the differentiation process from monocytes to macrophages also is related with the downregulation of GR induced by dex.

Transcriptome analysis of blood monocytes from sepsis patients

Project description:Blood monocytes serve as the first line of host defense and are equipped to recognize and respond to infection by triggering an immune-inflammatory response. While most information on these cells comes from in vitro studies in humans or in vivo studies in mice, little is known about monocytes under human disease conditions. We investigated the role of monocytes during sepsis and its resolution in humans. A transcriptomal and functional analysis of blood monocytes from patients during gram negative sepsis and at recovery was performed. Monocytes from sepsis patients showed upregulation of a large number of pro-inflammatory genes and cytokines/chemokines, consistent with an ongoing systemic inflammation. However, these cells showed impairment to ex vivo endotoxin (LPS) challenge, displaying a quantitative decrease in the number of LPS-inducible genes. Moreover, they downregulated the expression of several pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokine genes, activation marker genes and transcription factors associated with monocyte/macrophage activation, upon ex vivo LPS stimulation. Functionally, they downregulated expression of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines and antigen presentation-related molecules and functions. In contrast, genes and functions related to phagocytosis, anti-microbial activity and tissue remodeling where remained unaffected or even enhanced . Collectively, our observations suggest a genetic and functional re-programming of these cells during human sepsis progression. Understanding the molecular mechanisms which regulate this re-programming will allow to devise strategies which could modulate the response of these cells and hence, disease progression. Blood monocytes from gram-negative sepsis patients during sepsis (Sepsis) and following their recovery (Recovery/Basal) as well as healthy donor (control) were isolated. Thereafter, these cells were treated ex vivo with or without LPS for 3h and analysed for transcriptomic study.
