Monocyte - neutrophil interplay drives mesenchymal transition in GBM

ABSTRACT: Myeloid cells comprise the majority of immune cells in tumors, where their content and composition is not only driver mutation-specific, but also tumor type-dependent. While these cells are essential for shaping the tumor microenvironment, promoting tumor growth, and contributing to therapeutic resistance, targeting tumor-associated myeloid cells, including bone-marrow-derived monocytes and neutrophils, has not been successful. To eliminate monocyte recruitment, we employed CRISPR/Cas9-based methods to delete the region on murine chromosome 11 harboring the monocyte chemoattractant protein family (MCP) genes, Ccl2, Ccl7, Ccl8, Ccl12, and Ccl11, which we termed qMCP-KO. Using these qMCP-knockout mice in combination with genetically engineered mouse models (GEMM) of glioblastoma (GBM), we investigated myeloid infiltraion by sc-RNA seq. We found that when monocyte infiltraion was abolisehd, a compensatory influx of nuetrophil in these tumor occured. These neutrophil promote tumor growth by releasing TNF, contributing to tumor hypoxic responses and aggression.

Project description:Schistosomiasis continues to be an important cause of parasitic morbidity and mortality world-wide. Determining the molecular mechanisms regulating the development of granulomas and fibrosis will be essential for understanding how schistosome antigens interact with the host environment. We report here the first whole genome microarray analysis of the murine liver during the progression of Schistosoma japonicum egg-induced granuloma formation and hepatic fibrosis. Our results reveal a distinct temporal relationship between the expression of chemokine subsets and the recruitment of cells to the infected liver. Genes up-regulated earlier in the response included T- and B-cell chemoattractants, reflecting the early recruitment of these cells illustrated by flow cytometry. The later phases of the response corresponded with peak recruitment of eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages and myofibroblasts/hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and the expression of chemokines with activity for these cells including CCL11 (eotaxin 1), members of the Monocyte-chemoattractant protein family (CCL7, CCL8, CCL12) and the Hepatic Stellate Cell/Fibrocyte chemoattractant CXCL1. Peak expression of macrophage chemoattractants (CCL6, CXCL14) and markers of alternatively-activated macrophages (e.g. Retnla) during this later phase provides further evidence of a role for these cells in schistosome-induced pathology. Additionally, we demonstrate that CCL7 immunolocalises to the fibrotic zone of granulomas. Furthermore, striking up-regulation of neutrophil markers and the localisation of neutrophils and the neutrophil chemokine S100A8 to fibrotic areas suggests the involvement of neutrophils in S. japonicum¬-induced hepatic fibrosis. These results further our understanding of the immunopathogenic and, especially, chemokine signalling pathways that regulate the development of S. japonicum-induced granulomas and fibrosis and may provide correlative insight into the pathogenesis of other chronic inflammatory diseases of the liver where fibrosis is a common feature.
