Bronchoalveolar lavage alveolar macrophage subset transcriptomes in WT and NOX2-knockout mice

ABSTRACT: The leukocyte NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) plays a key role in pathogen killing and immunoregulation. Genetic defects in NOX2 result in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), associated with microbial infections and inflammatory disorders, often involving the lung. Alveolar macrophages (AM) are the predominant immune cell in the airways at steady state, and limiting their activation is important given constant exposure to inhaled materials, yet the importance of NOX2 in this process is not well-understood. Here, we show a previously undescribed role for NOX2 in maintaining lung homeostasis by suppressing AM activation, as studied using CGD mice or mice with selective loss of NOX2 primarily in macrophages. AM lacking NOX2 have increased cytokine responses to TLR2 and TLR4 stimulation ex vivo. Moreover, between 4 and 12 weeks of age, mice with global NOX2 deletion developed an activated CD11bhigh subset of AM with epigenetic and transcriptional profiles reflecting immune activation compared to WT AM. The presence of CD11bhigh AM in CGD mice correlated with increased numbers of alveolar neutrophils and proinflammatory cytokines at steady state as well as increased lung inflammation following insults. Moreover, deletion of NOX2 primarily in macrophages was sufficient for mice to develop an activated CD11bhigh AM subset and accompanying pro-inflammatory sequela. Additionally, we showed that the altered resident macrophage transcriptional profile in the absence of NOX2 is tissue-specific as these changes were not seen in resident peritoneal macrophages. Thus, these data demonstrate that absence of NOX2 in alveolar macrophages leads to their pro-inflammatory remodeling and dysregulates alveolar homeostasis.

Lung neutrophil subsets transcriptomes in WT and CGD mouse in response to fungal PAMPs stimulation

Project description:The leukocyte NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) regulates inflammation independent of its anti-microbial activity. Inherited defects in NOX2 lead to chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), associated with recurrent bacterial and fungal infections, often with excessive neutrophilic inflammation that results in significant inflammatory burden and tissue damage. We previously showed that excessive leukotriene B4 production by NOX2-deficient mouse neutrophils was a key driver of elevated lung neutrophil infiltration in the initial response to pulmonary challenge with the fungal particle zymosan (Song et al Blood 135, 891-903). We now identify IL-1β and downstream G-CSF as additional amplifying signals that augment and sustain neutrophil accrual in CGD mice. Neutrophils, delivered into the lung via LTB4, were the primary source of IL-1β within the airways, and their increased numbers in CGD lungs led to significantly elevated local and plasma G-CSF. Elevated G-CSF simultaneously promoted increased granulopoiesis and mobilized the release of higher numbers of an immature CD101neg neutrophil subset from the marrow, which trafficked to the lung and acquired a significantly more pro-inflammatory transcriptome in CGD mice compared to WT mice. Thus, neutrophil-produced IL-1β in the acute response to fungal cell walls acts sequentially but non-redundantly with LTB4 to deploy neutrophils and amplify inflammation in CGD mice. This illustrates how NOX2 plays a critical role in dampening multiple components of a feed-forward pipeline for neutrophil recruitment, and highlights NOX2 as a key regulator of neutrophil number and function at inflamed sites.

Cell origin dictates programming of resident versus recruited macrophages during acute lung injury

Project description:The primary objective of this study was to compare global differences in transcriptional programming of resident and recruited alveolar macrophages in a time-limited murine model of lung inflammation. We first performed RNA sequencing of the resident and recruited alveolar macrophages from initiation through resolution of LPS-induced lung inflammation in the mouse. Our results indicate that despite existing in a shared environment, cell origin is the major determinant of programming of resident and recruited AMs during an acute inflammatory response. Major areas of difference include cell proliferation, inflammatory cytokine production and metabolism.

Ontogeny of alveolar macrophages is a critical determinant of function during lung fibrosis [RNA-seq]

Project description:Little is known about the relative importance of monocyte and tissue-resident macrophages in the development of lung fibrosis. We show that specific genetic deletion of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages after their recruitment to the lung ameliorated lung fibrosis, whereas tissue-resident alveolar macrophages did not contribute to fibrosis. Using transcriptomic profiling of flow-sorted cells, we found that monocyte to alveolar macrophage differentiation unfolds continuously over the course of fibrosis and its resolution. During the fibrotic phase, monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages differ significantly from tissue-resident alveolar macrophages in their expression of profibrotic genes. A population of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages persisted in the lung for one year after the resolution of fibrosis, where they became increasingly similar to tissue-resident alveolar macrophages. Human homologues of profibrotic genes expressed by mouse monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages during fibrosis were up-regulated in human alveolar macrophages from fibrotic compared with normal lungs. Our findings suggest that selectively targeting alveolar macrophage differentiation within the lung may ameliorate fibrosis without the adverse consequences associated with global monocyte or tissue-resident alveolar macrophage depletion.

Smith2011 - Three Stage Innate Immune Response to a Pneumococcal Lung Infection

Project description:Pneumococcal pneumonia is a leading cause of death and a major source of human morbidity. The initial immune response plays a central role in determining the course and outcome of pneumococcal disease. We combine bacterial titer measurements from mice infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae with mathematical modeling to investigate the coordination of immune responses and the effects of initial inoculum on outcome. To evaluate the contributions of individual components, we systematically build a mathematical model from three subsystems that describe the succession of defensive cells in the lung: resident alveolar macrophages, neutrophils and monocyte-derived macrophages. The alveolar macrophage response, which can be modeled by a single differential equation, can by itself rapidly clear small initial numbers of pneumococci. Extending the model to include the neutrophil response required additional equations for recruitment cytokines and host cell status and damage. With these dynamics, two outcomes can be predicted: bacterial clearance or sustained bacterial growth. Finally, a model including monocyte-derived macrophage recruitment by neutrophils suggests that sustained bacterial growth is possible even in their presence. Our model quantifies the contributions of cytotoxicity and immune-mediated damage in pneumococcal pathogenesis.

Identification of a nerve-associated, lung-resident interstitial macrophage subset with distinct localization and immunoregulatory properties [bulk-seq]

Project description:Tissue-resident macrophages are a diverse population of cells that perform specialized functions including sustaining tissue homeostasis and tissue surveillance. Here we report an interstitial subset of CD169+ lung-resident macrophages that are transcriptionally and developmentally distinct from alveolar macrophages (AMs). They are primarily localized around the airways and are found in close proximity to the sympathetic nerves located in the bronchovascular bundle. These nerve- and airway-associated macrophages (NAMs) are tissue-resident, yolk sac-derived, self-renewing, and do not require CCR2+ monocytes for development or maintenance. Unlike AMs, the development of NAMs requires CSF1, but not GM-CSF. Bulk population and single cell transcriptome analysis indicated that NAMs are distinct from other lung resident macrophage subsets and highly express immunoregulatory genes under steady state and inflammatory conditions. NAMs proliferated robustly following influenza infection and activation with the TLR ligand poly I:C, and in their absence, the inflammatory response was augmented resulting in excessive production of inflammatory cytokines and innate immune cell infiltration. Overall, our study provides insights into a distinct subset of airway-associated pulmonary macrophages that function to maintain immune and tissue homeostasis.

Heightened turnover and failed maturation of monocyte-derived macrophages in Chronic Granulomatous Disease

Project description:Loss of NADPH oxidase activity in phagocytes leads to altered cellular responses and exaggerated inflammation in Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD). We sought to assess the effects of Nox2 absence on monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMacs) in gp91phox-/y mice during zymosan-induced peritonitis. MoMacs from CGD and wild type (WT) peritonea were lavaged and characterized over time. Though the numbers harvested from both genotypes were virtually identical, there were marked differences in maturation: newly recruited WT MoMacs rapidly enlarged and matured with loss of Ly6C and gain of MHCII, CD206 and CD36, while MoMacs in CGD remained small and were mostly Ly6C+MHCII-. RNAseq analyses showed few intrinsic differences between genotypes in newly recruited MoMacs, but significant differences over time. WT MoMacs demonstrated changes in metabolism, adhesion and reparative functions, while CGD MoMacs remained inflammatory. Labeling with PKH dye demonstrated that while WT MoMacs were mostly recruited within the first 24 hours and remained in the peritoneum while maturing and enlarging, CGD monocytes continued to stream into the peritoneum for days with many migrating to the diaphragm where they were found in fibrin(ogen) clots surrounding clusters of neutrophils in what appeared to be nascent granulomata. Importantly, these observations appeared to be entirely driven by the milieu: adoptive transfer of CGD MoMacs into inflamed peritonea of WT mice resulted in immunophenotypic maturation and behavior, and conversely, altered maturation/behavior of WT MoMacs was seen after adoptive transfer into inflamed peritonea of CGD mice. These data demonstrate heightened recruitment and fundamental failure of MoMac maturation in CGD.

Tissue-specific differences in PPARγ control of macrophage function.

Project description:PPARγ is known for its anti-inflammatory actions in macrophages. However, which macrophage populations express PPARγ in vivo and how it regulates tissue homeostasis in the steady state and during inflammation is not completely understood. We show that lung and spleen macrophages constitutively expressed PPARγ, while other macrophage populations did not. Recruitment of monocytes to sites of inflammation was associated with induction of PPARγ as they differentiated to macrophages. Its absence in these macrophages led to failed resolution of inflammation, characterized by persistent, low-level recruitment of leukocytes. Conversely, PPARγ agonists supported an earlier cessation in leukocyte recruitment during resolution of acute inflammation and likewise suppressed monocyte recruitment to chronically inflamed atherosclerotic vessels. In the steady state, PPARγ deficiency in macrophages had no obvious impact in the spleen but profoundly altered cellular lipid homeostasis in lung macrophages. Reminiscent of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, LysM-Cre x PPARγflox/flox mice displayed mild leukocytic inflammation in the steady-state lung and succumbed faster to mortality upon infection with S. pneumoniae. Surprisingly, this mortality was not due to overly exuberant inflammation, but instead to impaired bacterial clearance. Thus, in addition to its anti-inflammatory role in promoting resolution of inflammation, PPARγ sustains functionality in lung macrophages and thereby has a pivotal role in supporting pulmonary host defense. The two major subsets of monocytes (Ly-6C+ and Ly-6Clo) from 12-week old C57Bl/6 mice were sorted and the RNA extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip® 430 2.0 arrays. We pooled leukocytes from 5 mice for each sort and sorted 3 to 4 separate times for 3 to 4 biological replicates.
