Unravelling the sex-specific diversity and functions of adrenal gland macrophages (RNA-Seq).

ABSTRACT: Despite the ubiquitous function of macrophages across the body, the diversity, origin, and function of adrenal gland macrophages remain largely unknown. We defined the heterogeneity of adrenal gland immune cells using single-cell RNA sequencing and used genetic models to explore the developmental mechanisms yielding to macrophage diversity. We defined populations of monocyte-derived and embryonically seeded adrenal gland macrophages and identified a female-specific subset with low MHC-II expression. In adulthood, monocyte recruitment dominated adrenal gland macrophage maintenance in female mice, while self-proliferation was more important in males. Adrenal gland macrophage sub-tissular distribution followed a sex-dimorphic pattern, with MHC-IIlow macrophages located at the border between the cortex and the medulla. Macrophage sex dimorphism depended on the presence of the cortical Xzone. Forcing X-zone maintenance in males, or its degradation in females, directly impacted the presence of MHC-IIlow macrophages. Adrenal gland macrophage depletion resulted in altered tissue homeostasis, modulated lipid- metabolism and decreased local aldosterone production during stress exposure. Overall, these data explain the heterogeneity of adrenal gland macrophages and point toward sexrestricted distribution and functions of these cells.

Transcriptome profile of rat adrenal evoked by gonadectomy and testosterone or estradiol replacement

Project description:Sex differences in rat adrenal cortex are manifested as larger adrenal volume of cortex and higher corticosterone secretion by females compared with males. The molecular bases of these sex related differences are poorly understood. Therefore we performed microarray studies to demonstrate the effect of testosterone and estradiol on the expression of differentially regulated genes in rat adrenal gland.

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.

Distinct lactation-associated macrophages exist in murine mammary tissue and human milk

Project description:Macrophages are involved in immune defense, organogenesis and tissue homeostasis. They also contribute to the different phases of mammary gland remodeling during development, pregnancy and involution post-lactation. Yet, less is known about the dynamics of mammary gland macrophages in the lactation stage. Here, we describe a macrophage population present during lactation in mice. By multi-parameter flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing we reveal this population as distinct from the two resident macrophage subsets present pregestationally. These lactation-induced macrophages (LiMacs) are predominantly monocyte-derived and expand by proliferation in situ concomitant with nursing. LiMacs develop independently of IL-34 but require CSF-1 signaling and are partly microbiota-dependent. Locally, they reside adjacent to the basal cells of the alveoli and extravasate into the milk. Moreover, we also found several macrophage subsets in human milk, resembling LiMacs. Collectively, these findings reveal the emergence of unique macrophages in the mammary gland and milk during lactation.

Gene expression in normal mouse tissues

Project description:Gene expression was studied using PancChip5.0 in 15 tissues. Most tissues were from the adult mouse, except for fetal pancreas (e18.5) and placenta. Adult tissues studied were: adrenal gland, pancreas, brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, ovary, parotid gland, pituitary gland, small intestine, stomach and testis. All were studied in duplicate except for the pituitary, the liver, and the stomach. All samples were pooled samples. Tissues were taken from 3 males and 3 females, with the exception of the gonadal tissues, and the fetal tissues were sex was not determined.

Proteomic signature of environmental oxygen tension modulation of human macrophage polarization and functions

Project description:Macrophages are innate immune cells characterized by their plasticity and their ability to react to various environmental stimuli. These cells are involved in a multiple number of tissular functions in homeostasis and pathological contexts. According to their environment these cells could be polarized toward different states of activation which determine their functional orientation. A large part of the macrophage biology field is devoted to better define what polarizations are, from a molecular point of view. It is now accepted that a multidimensional model of polarization is needed to grasp the broad phenotype repertoire depending on various environmental signals. Oxygen tension is one of these tissular environmental parameters. We designed this study to obtain a proteomic signature of various polarizations in human monocytes derived macrophages. We also seek to explore how environmental oxygen tension varying from an atmospheric composition (18.6% O2) to a “tissular normoxia” (3% O2) could modify our classification of macrophages’ polarization. We have obtained various polarization specific proteins and oxygen sensors for human macrophages. One example is arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15) which is a IL4/IL13 polarization specific proteins up regulated under low oxygen exposure associated to an increase of the phagocytosis rate of apoptotic cells. These results illustrate the necessity to take into account physicochemical parameters like oxygen when macrophage polarization is studied to correctly assess their functions in tissues.

Heme exposure induces the phenotype of Hmox1high, Marcohigh, and MHC class IIlow macrophages

Project description:Bulk RNA sequencing revealed that heme exposure induced the phenotype of Hmox1high, Marcohigh, and MHC class IIlow macrophages, demonstrating a strong expression of NRF2-regulated. However, these cells showed weak expression of the TAM marker genes Arg1 and Spp1, indicating that heme treatment alone was insufficient to induce the full heme-TAM phenotype.
