Project description:Inflammation is the natural defensive response of the immune system to an injury or infection and is regulated by small molecule mediators triggering different phases of the inflammatory process. In particular, lipid mediators (LM) and cytokines exhibit crucial regulatory functions in the progression and resolution of inflammation. Macrophages play a central role in this process and can adopt distinct phenotypes with specialized functions depending on their microenvironment: inflammatory M1 macrophages drive inflammation by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and LMs, like prostaglandins (PG) and leukotrienes (LT), while resolving M2 macrophages promote inflammation resolution and tissue regeneration by production of anti-inflammatory cytokines and specialized pro resolving mediators (SPM). Aging is associated with chronic and unresolved, low-grade inflammation (“inflammaging”) and aging-related dysfunction of macrophages in the resolution of inflammation and tissue maintenance has been reported. Yet, the underlying molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of latter processes remain poorly understood. Here, we show that polarization of peritoneal macrophages (PM) from geriatric mice towards an M2-like phenotype is impaired versus adult mice, resulting in aberrant LM formation and cytokine release. In PMs isolated from adult mice (PM-A) we observed a shift in LM formation from PGs and LTs to SPMs already after 4 h of polarization towards M2 with interleukin (IL) 4. In contrast, PMs from geriatric mice (PM-G) produced mainly LTs and PGs upon polarization. This pattern persists over the course of 48 h of polarization. Proteomic profiling revealed that polarization of PM A towards M2 yields a more distinct phenotype, clearly separated from M1, when compared to PM-G. We observed similar aging-related changes in the lipidome and cytokine profile of spleen, lung and liver tissue from mice. Hence, we hypothesize that during aging macrophage polarization towards M2 is impaired, which in turn drives chronic inflammation and disturbs tissue maintenance. By combining state-of-the art lipidomic and proteomic profiling we aim to uncover new molecular targets for pharmaceutical interventions to improve therapeutic strategies for elderly patients with chronic inflammatory diseases.

Project description:Epoxygenases belong to the cytochrome P450 family and they generate epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) known to have anti-inflammatory effects but little is known about their role in macrophage function. By high-throughput sequencing of RNA (RNA-seq) in primary macrophages derived fromrodents and humans, we establish the relative expression of epoxygenases in these cells. Zinc-finger nuclease-mediated targeted gene deletion of the major rat macrophage epoxygenase Cyp2j4 (orthologue of human CYP2J2),resulted inreduced EET synthesis. Cyp2j4-/-macrophages have relatively increased PPARγ levels and show a pro-fibrotic transcriptome,displayingover-expression of a specific subset of genes (260 transcripts) primarily involved in extracellular matrix, with fibronectin being the most abundantly expressed transcript.Fibronectin expression is under the control of epoxygenase activity in human and rat primary macrophages. In keeping with the invitro findings, Cyp2j4-/- rats show up-regulation of type I collagen following unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO) of the kidney and quantitative proteomics analysis (LC-MS/MS) showed increased renal type I collagen and fibronectin protein abundance resulting from experimentally induced crescentic glomerulonephritis in these rats. Taken together, these results identify the rat epoxygenase Cyp2j4 as a determinant of a pro-fibrotic macrophage transcriptome that could have implications in various inflammatory conditions depending on macrophage function.

Project description:Macrophages acquire a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype in response to microbial products or pro-inflammatory cytokines through incompletely understood molecular mechanisms. We recently described the induction of APOBEC3A-mediated cellular site-specific cytosine-to-uracil (C>U) RNA editing during M1 macrophage polarization. However, the functional significance of this RNA editing is unknown. Here, we find that cellular RNA editing by APOBEC3A can also be induced by influenza or Maraba virus infections in normal macrophages, and by interferons in tumor-associated macrophages. Gene knockdown and RNA Seq analyses show that APOBEC3A induces C>U RNA editing (range 7%-88%) of 209 exonic or UTR sites in 203 genes during M1 polarization of monocyte-derived macrophages. The highest level of deleterious protein-recoding C>U RNA editing is observed in THOC5, which encodes a key nuclear protein implicated in the export of mRNAs during M-CSF driven macrophage differentiation. Knockdown of APOBEC3A in M1 macrophages reduces pro-inflammatory IL6, IL23A, and IL12B gene expression, CD80 and CD86 surface protein expression, and TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 cytokine secretion, and increases glycolysis and glycolytic capacity. These results demonstrate that APOBEC3A cytidine deaminase plays an important role in transcriptomic and functional polarization of pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages.

Project description:Next to their role in IgE-mediated allergic diseases and in promoting inflammation, mast cells also have antiinflammatory functions. They release pro- as well as antiinflammatory mediators, depending on the biological setting. Here we aimed to better understand the role of mast cells during the resolution phase of a local inflammation induced with the Tolllike receptor (TLR)-2 agonist zymosan. Multiple sequential immunohistology combined with a statistical neighborhood analysis showed that mast cells are located in a predominantly antiinflammatory microenvironment during resolution of inflammation and that mast cell-deficiency causes decreased efferocytosis in the resolution phase. Accordingly, FACS analysis showed decreased phagocytosis of zymosan and neutrophils by macrophages in mast cell-deficient mice. mRNA sequencing using zymosan-induced bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) revealed a strong type I interferon (IFN) response, which is known to enhance phagocytosis by macrophages. Both, zymosan and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induced IFN-b synthesis in BMMCs in similar amounts as in bone marrow derived macrophages. IFN-b was expressed by mast cells in paws from naïve mice and during zymosan-induced inflammation. As described for macrophages the release of type I IFNs from mast cells depended on TLR internalization and endosome acidification. In conclusion, mast cells are able to produce several mediators including IFN-b, which are alone or in combination with each other able to regulate the phagocytotic activity of macrophages during resolution of inflammation.

Project description:Elevated serum concentrations of the soluble mannose receptor (sMR) have been reported to correlate with the severity of various inflammatory diseases. A physiological role of sMR, however, remains unclear. Here, we show that sMR binds CD45 on macrophages, both in vitro and in vivo, leading to cellular reprogramming towards an inflammatory phenotype by inhibition of CD45 phosphatase activity, which induces Src/Akt/NF-κB-mediated signaling. Remarkably, increased serum sMR levels correlate with obesity in both mice and humans. In addition, MR deficiency lowers the high-fat diet-induced increase in pro-inflammatory macrophages in metabolic tissues and protects against hepatic steatosis and whole-body metabolic dysfunctions. Conversely, administration of sMR induces serum pro-inflammatory cytokines and pro-inflammatory macrophages in the liver and promote insulin resistance. Altogether, our results reveal sMR as novel regulator of pro-inflammatory macrophage activation and could constitute a novel therapeutic target for hyperinflammatory diseases.

Project description:Inflammation is a physiopathological process triggered by infection or tissue damage. Immune system initiates coordinated sequential steps in response to these danger signals. Once the threat has been contained inflammation has to be subsequently shut down. Inflammation resolution is initiated by the reprogramming of pro-inflammatory macrophages toward a pro-resolving profile. This reprogramming is induced in particular by the non-phlogistic engulfment of apoptotic cells, mostly apoptotic neutrophils, a process called efferocytosis. As a matter of fact, macrophages are an essential linchpin regulating both inflammation triggering and sustaining and inflammation resolution. This duality can be achieved through the tremendous plasticity of these innate immune cells. Indeed, depending on microenvironmental signals (cytokines, efferocytosis, growth factors…) macrophages can adopt numerous diverse and sometimes antagonistic phenotypes. The mechanisms governing these transitions remain relatively scattered especially in human. With this project we propose to explore the mechanisms involved in human macrophage reprogramming toward a pro-resolving profile after efferocytosis. The stakes are high due to the estimated prevalence of chronic inflammatory diseases in Western society is 5 to 7%. Chronic inflammation is a burden to patient due to life-long debilitating illness and increased mortality and is also a burden to society due to high costs for therapy and care. Finding new therapies to limit chronic inflammation establishment and persistence is thus a highly valuable goal.
