Project description:Homozygous disruption of c-Maf led to embryonic lethality and impaired erythroblastic island formation. c-Maf is expressed in the fetal liver macrophages. It suggests that macrophages are responsible for the lethality of c-Maf knock-out embryos. To search downstream genes of c-Maf, we surveyed genes associated with macrophage function by microarray analysis. keywords: c-Maf, macrophage, erythroblastic islands, WT (c-Maf WT) and c-Maf KO (c-Maf KO) fetal liver macrophages were sorted by a FACSAria cell sorter. Total RNAs from those macrophages were prepared using RNeasy Kit. Genes down-regulated in c-Maf KO macrophages were searched by GeneSpring software.

Project description:Tissue-resident Macrophages have long been appreciated as playing a fundamental role in the ontogeny and function of several organs. For example, osteoclasts are crucial for proper bone remodeling, microglia for synaptic pruning, and lung alveolar macrophages for clearance of surfactant. Perivascular macrophages have been described in many organs. Our analysis of murine perivascular macrophages in several tissues and organs led us to define a macrophage family, whose members share the expression of a number of surface molecules that are not typically considered macrophage markers, such as Lyve1, Folate Receptor 2 (Folr2), Enpep/CD249, and CD38, as well as other more typical macrophage markers such as CD206 and Tim4. This family of perivascular macrophages also occurs in humans. Importantly, this family of perivascular macrophages relies on the transcription factor c-MAF, encoded by the gene Maf, for its full function. Conditional deletion of the Maf gene in the Lyve1+Folr2+CD38+ macrophage family caused their ablation in the brain, without impact on the microglia, while in the adipose tissue the conditional deletion of the Maf gene in perivascular macrophages resulted in a profoundly altered macrophage gene expression, and brought about an increased vascular branching in this tissue. Mice with conditional Maf deletion were protected from metabolic syndrome when submitted to high fat diet (HFD). Our results show that c-MAF is the master regulator of a family of perivascular macrophages.

Project description:The erythroblastic island (EBI), composed of a central macrophage and surrounding erythroid cells, was the first hematopoietic niche discovered. The identity of EBI macrophages has thus far remained elusive. Gene expression profiles of BM F4/80+Epor-eGFP+ macrophages suggest a specialized function in supporting erythropoiesis.

Project description:Mechanisms by which IFN-γ activates genes to promote macrophage activation are well studied, but little is known about mechanisms and functions of IFN-γ-mediated gene repression. We used an integrated transcriptomic and epigenomic approach to analyze chromatin accessibility, histone modifications, transcription factor binding, and gene expression in IFN-γ-primed human macrophages. IFN-γ suppressed basal expression of genes corresponding to an ‘M2’-like homeostatic/reparative phenotype. IFN-γ repressed genes by suppressing the function of enhancers enriched for binding by transcription factor MAF. Mechanistically, IFN-γ ‘disassembled’ a subset of enhancers by inducing coordinate suppression of binding by MAF, lineage-determining transcription factors, and chromatin accessibility. Genes associated with MAF-binding disassembled enhancers were suppressed in rheumatoid arthritis macrophages, revealing a disease-associated ‘negative IFN-γ signature’. These results identify enhancer inactivation and disassembly as a mechanism of IFN-γ-mediated gene repression, and MAF as a regulator of the macrophage enhancer landscape that is suppressed by IFN-γ to augment macrophage activation.

Project description:Tropomodulins (Tmods) cap the pointed ends of actin filaments in erythroid and nonerythoid cell types. Targeted deletion of mouse Tmod3 leads to embryonic lethality at E14.5-E18.5, with anemia due to defects in definitive erythropoiesis in the fetal liver. BFU-E and CFU-E colony numbers are greatly reduced, indicating defects in progenitor populations. Flow-cytometry of fetal liver erythroblasts shows late stage populations are also decreased, including reduced percentages of enucleated cells. AnnexinV staining indicates increased apoptosis of Tmod3-/- erythroblasts, and cell cycle analysis reveals that there are more Ter119hi cells in S-phase in Tmod3-/- embryos. Notably, enucleating Tmod3-/- erythroblasts are still in the process of proliferation, suggesting impaired cell cycle exit during terminal differentiation. Tmod3-/- late erythroblasts often exhibit multi-lobular nuclear morphologies and aberrant F-actin assembly during enucleation. Furthermore, native erythroblastic island formation was impaired in Tmod3-/- fetal livers, with Tmod3 required in both erythroblasts and macrophages. In conclusion, disruption of Tmod3 leads to impaired definitive erythropoiesis, due to reduced progenitors, impaired erythroblastic island formation, and defective erythroblast cell cycle progression and enucleation. Tmod3-mediated actin remodeling may be required for erythroblast-macrophage adhesion, coordination of cell cycle with differentiation, and F-actin assembly and remodeling during erythroblast enucleation. Total RNAs from Tmod3+/+ and Tmod3-/- fetal livers at E14.5 were extracted and prepared for microarray analysis using the MoGene-1_0-st-v1 Affymetrix chip in the Scripps Research Microarray Core Facility. Each experiment was repeated with three independent embryos.
