Inhibition of NETosis via PAD4 could alleviate the inflammation of giant cell myocarditis

ABSTRACT: Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) is a rare, often rapidly progressive and potentially fatal, disease caused by T-cell-mediated cardiac inflammation that typically affects young and middle-aged adults. The detailed inflammatory response remained unknown, especially the formation of multinucleate giant cells.Methods and Results: Rats were treated with myosin heavy-chain-α peptides to generate a GCM model. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of 15,714 Cd45 + cells extracted from hearts from GCM rat model and normal rats. We identified 24 subclusters including macrophages, neutrophils, T cells and so on. The GCM was characteristic with macrophage cluster 1, neutrophil cluster 3, macrophage cluster 2, neutrophil cluster 1 and Th17 cells. Two specific macrophage clusters involved in the GCM have roles in phagocytosis, and NETosis was found to contribute into the process of GCM. Its receptor, Ccdc25 , expressed in the macrophage cluster 1 and Th17, suggesting that neutrophils could regulate other immune cells in GCM. Importantly, inhibitor of NETosis, GSK484, could alleviate the inflammation of GCM in vivo. Finally, MPO (a marker of neutrophils) and H3cit (a marker of NETosis) were expressed at higher levels in GCM patients than in DCM patients and healthy controls and neutrophils were part of multinucleated giant cells. IMC analysis revealed that the formation of multinucleate giant cells of GCM.Conclusions: We herein present a comprehensive single-cell landscape of the cardiac immune cells in GCM. In addition, we elucidated the contribution of NETosis to the pathogenesis of GCM, which may serve as a potential therapeutic target in the clinic.

Transcript expression analysis of the NETotic neutrphils

Project description:Neutrophils are short-lived innate immune cells. Upon encountering appropriate stimuli, neutrophils generate and release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), primarily via NADPH oxidase (Nox)-dependent (~2 hours) or Nox-independent NETosis (~15-60 minutes). Ironically, DNA transcription in dying neutrophils remains an enigma. We hypothesized that transcriptional activation, regulated by NETosis-specific kinases, is important to drive the chromatin decondensation necessary for NETosis. For the first time, we show here that (i) the degree of NETosis corresponds to the degree of genome-wide transcription; (ii) kinase-specific transcriptional activation reflects transcriptional firing during different types of NETosis; and (iii) Transcriptomics suggests that NETosis could differentially regulate inflammation. Therefore, we propose that the initial steps of transcriptional firing, but neither transcription per se help to drive NETosis.

Transcriptome sequencing of human neutrophil

Project description:TcpC is a multifunctional virulence factor of uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). Neutrophil extracellular trap formation (NETosis) is a crucial anti-infection mechanism of neutrophils. Here we show the influence of TcpC on NETosis and related mechanisms. In situ NETosis of kidneys from pyelonephritis mouse model induced by TcpC-secreting wild-type CFT073 (CFT073wt) and LPS-induced in vitro NETosis in CFT073wt- or recombinant TcpC (rTcpC)-treated neutrophils are inhibited. rTcpC enters neutrophils through caveolin-mediated endocytosis and inhibits LPS-induced production of ROS, proinflammatory cytokines and protein but not mRNA levels of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4). rTcpC treatment enhances PAD4 ubiquitination and accumulation in proteasomes. Moreover, in vitro ubiquitination kit analyses suggest that TcpC is a PAD4-targetd E3 ubiquitin-ligase. These data suggest that TcpC inhibits NETosis primarily by serving as an E3 ligase that promotes degradation of PAD4. Our findings provide a novel mechanism underlying TcpC-mediated innate immune evasion.

Reduction of Neutrophil Activation by Phosphodiesterase 4 Blockade in Behçet's Disease

Project description:Objective: Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis with inflammatory lesions mediated by cytotoxic T cells and neutrophils. Apremilast, an orally available small-molecule that selectively inhibits phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), has been recently approved for the treatment of BD. We aimed to investigate the effect of PDE4 inhibition on neutrophil activation in BD. Methods: We studied surface markers and reactive oxygen species (ROS) by flow cytometry, neutrophils extra cellular traps (NETs) and molecular signature of neutrophils by transcriptomic before and after PDE4 inhibition. Results: Activation surface markers (CD64, CD66b, CD11b and CD11c), ROS production and NETosis were up-regulated in BD as compared to Healthy Donors (HD) neutrophils. Transcriptome analysis showed 1021 significantly dysregulated neutrophils genes between BD and HD. Among dysregulated genes, we highlighted a great enrichment for pathways linked to innate immunity, intracellular signaling and chemotaxis in BD. Skin lesions of BD showed increased infiltration of neutrophils that co-localized with PDE4. Inhibition of PDE4 by apremilast strongly inhibited neutrophil surface activation markers as well as ROS production, NETosis, and genes and pathways related to innate immunity, intracellular signaling and chemotaxis. Conclusion: We pointed out key biological effects of apremilast on neutrophils in BD.

Human lupus netting neutrophils induce endothelial damage, infiltrate tissues and expose immunostimulatory molecules

Project description:Our group has proposed that low-density granulocytes (LDGs) play an important role in lupus pathogenesis, as they can damage endothelial cells and synthesize increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines and type I interferons. LDGs have a heightened capacity to synthesize neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs from LDGs display increased levels of bactericidal and immunostimulatory proteins, such as the cathelicidin LL37 and externalize double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Lupus netting LDGs have increased capacity to kill endothelial cells and expose IL-17. Through NETosis, lupus neutrophils stimulate plasmacytoid DCs to synthesize IFN-?. Our results further expand the potential pathogenic role of aberrant lupus neutrophils through a NET-mediated effect. We used microarrays to analyze the gene expression of neutrophils in healthy and lupus patients, and of low-density granulocytes in lupus patients. Human neutrophils and LDGs were isolated from PBMCs. RNA from healthy neutrophils, lupus neutrophils and lupus LDGs was extracted and processed for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

NET proteome of neutrophils from people with long-standing type 1 diabetes and healthy control

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease, leading to the destruction of the pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells. Little is known about the involvement of neutrophils that exert multifaceted functions like phagocytosis, degranulation, production of cytokines and the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETosis), in the pathogenesis of T1D. Our aim was to gain insight into the proteome of neutrophils undergoing NETosis from patients with long-standing T1D compared to age- and sex-matched healthy controls under both resting and stimulated conditions (phorbol-myristate acetate, PMA, 100nM; ionomycin, 20µM; 3hours) by LC/MS-MS.

RNA sequencing of primary Sjögren’s syndrome neutrophils

Project description:Objective Neutrophils and aberrant NETosis have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diverse autoimmune diseases, however, their roles in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) remain unclear. We aimed to reveal the potential roles of neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in this study. Methods pSS patients were enrolled according to the corresponding diagnostic criteria. NETosis markers were measured in plasma and small salivary gland using ELISA and immunofluorescence. The gene signatures of neutrophils were assessed by RNA-Seq and RT-PCR. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial ROS (mitoROS) production and JC-1 was measured by flow cytometry. Results NETosis markers including cell free-DNA (cf-DNA), myeloperoxidase (MPO) in plasma and small salivary gland from pSS patients were significantly higher than healthy controls (HCs) and were associated with disease activity. RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR revealed activated Type I IFN signaling pathway and higher expression of type I interferon related genes in pSS neutrophils. Further stimulating with IFN-α 2a in vitro significantly induced ROS production and JC-1 monomer percentage in pSS neutrophils. Conclusions Our data suggest the involvement of neutrophils and enhanced NETosis in pSS patients. Further mechanism study in vitro revealed that type I IFN activation in pSS neutrophils led to mitochondrial damage and related ROS production which finally result in the generation of NETs.

Antigen-presenting aged neutrophils induce CD4+ T cells to exacerbate inflammation in sepsis

Project description:Extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP) is a key mediator of severity and mortality in sepsis. We found that stimulation of mouse bone marrow–derived neutrophils (BMDNs) with eCIRP generated a distinct neutrophil subpopulation, characterized by cell surface markers of both antigen-presenting cells and aged neutrophils as well as expression of IL-12, which we named antigen-presenting aged neutrophils (APANs). The frequency of APANs was significantly increased in the blood, spleen, and lungs of WT mice subjected to cecal ligation and puncture–induced sepsis but not in CIRP–/– mice. Patients with sepsis had a significant increase in circulating APAN counts compared with healthy individuals. Compared with non–APAN-transferred mice, APAN-transferred septic mice had increased serum levels of injury and inflammatory markers, exacerbated acute lung injury (ALI), and worsened survival. APANs and CD4+ T cells colocalized in the spleen, suggesting an immune interaction between these cells. APANs cocultured with CD4+ T cells significantly induced the release of IFN-γ via IL-12. BMDNs stimulated with eCIRP and IFN-γ underwent hyper-NETosis. Stimulating human peripheral blood neutrophils with eCIRP also induced APANs, and stimulating human neutrophils with eCIRP and IFN-γ caused hyper-NETosis. Thus, eCIRP released during sepsis induced APANs to aggravate ALI and worsen the survival of septic animals via CD4+ T cell activation, Th1 polarization, and IFN-γ–mediated hyper-NETosis.

Immature low-density neutrophils exhibit metabolic flexibility that facilitates breast cancer liver metastasis

Project description:Neutrophils play a key role in the control of metastatic progression. Neutrophils are phenotypically heterogeneous and can exert either anti- or pro-metastatic functions. Here, we demonstrate that tumor cells capable of forming liver metastases induce an accumulation of neutrophils in the peripheral blood and liver parenchyma. Cancer cell-derived G-CSF, in concert with other factors, mobilizes immature low-density neutrophils that promote liver metastasis. In contrast, mature high-density neutrophils inhibit the formation of liver metastases. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of high- and low- density neutrophils reveal engagement of numerous metabolic pathways specifically in low-density neutrophils. Low-density neutrophils exhibit enhanced global bioenergetic capacity, through their ability to engage mitochondrial-dependent ATP production, and remain capable of executing pro-metastatic neutrophil functions, including NETosis, under nutrient-deprived conditions. Together, these data reveal that distinct pro-metastatic neutrophil populations exhibit a high degree of metabolic flexibility, which facilitates metastatic progression and the formation of liver metastases.

NET formation is a default epigenetic program controlled by PAD4 in apoptotic neutrophils

Project description:Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) counteract bacterial and fungal pathogens but can also promote thrombosis, autoimmunity, and sterile inflammation. The presence of citrullinated histones, generated by the peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4), is synonymous with NETosis and is considered independent of apoptosis. Mitochondrial- and death receptormediated apoptosis promote GSDME-dependent calcium mobilization and membrane permeabilization leading to histone H3 citrullination (H3Cit), nuclear DNA extrusion, and cytoplast formation. H3Cit is concentrated at the promoter in bone marrow neutrophils, and redistributes in a coordinated process from promoter to intergenic and intronic regions during apoptosis. Loss of GSDME prevents nuclear and plasma membrane disruption of apoptotic neutrophils, but prolongs early apoptosis-induced cellular changes to the chromatin and cytoplasmic granules. Apoptotic signaling engages PAD4 in neutrophils, establishing a cellular state that is primed for NETosis, but that occurs only upon membrane disruption by GSDME, thereby redefining the end-of-life for neutrophils.
