Project description:Neutrophils are increasingly recognized as key players in the tumour immune response, and are associated with poor clinical outcomes. Despite recent advances characterizing the diversity of neutrophil states in cancer, common trajectories and mechanisms governing the ontogeny and relationship between these neutrophil states remain undefined.Using Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin (ATAC) sequencing, we show that immature and mature neutrophils infiltrating the tumor share a similar chromatin accessibility profile that was not observed in non-tumor populations (in both tumor-bearing and wild type mice). Our results thus indicate that tumor-infiltrating neutrophils can be reprogrammed by the tumor microenvironment regardless of their stage of maturity by converging chromatin trajectories towards a distinct T3 state.

Project description:Neutrophils are the most abundant circulating leucocytes and constitute an essential component of innate immunity. Although their role in cancer development is still poorly defined, pro- or anti-tumor properties have been attributed to tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs), suggesting major functional diversities. In this study, we focused on the mechanisms involved in neutrophil accumulation within the lung tumor mass. We first identified G-CSF as an inducer of the high-affinity glucose transporter Glut1 in neutrophils, increasing their survival ex vivo. In a genetically engineered mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma, we report that TANs have an increased Glut1 expression and glucose metabolism compared to normal neutrophils. To elucidate the impact of glucose uptake on TANs, we used an in vivo strategy based on two recombinases, Flp to initiate lung tumors, and Cre to delete Glut1 specifically in neutrophils. We demonstrate that the loss of Glut1 decreases the SiglecFhigh TAN subpopulation by accelerating neutrophil turnover in tumors through reduced survival and augmented recruitment. Accelerated TAN turnover led to a decreased tumor growth and synergized with radiotherapy. Altogether, our results demonstrate the importance of Glut1 for neutrophil turnover, which directly affects the pro- versus anti-tumor balance within the tumor. These results also suggest that metabolic vulnerabilities can be exploited to target tumor-supportive neutrophil populations.

Project description:While critical for host defense, innate immune cells are also pathologic drivers of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Innate immune dynamics during COVID-19 ARDS, compared to ARDS from other respiratory pathogens, is unclear. Moreover, mechanisms underlying beneficial effects of dexamethasone during severe COVID-19 remain elusive. Using scRNA-seq and plasma proteomics, we discovered that compared to bacterial ARDS, COVID-19 was associated with expansion of distinct neutrophil states characterized by interferon (IFN) and prostaglandin (PG) signalling. Dexamethasone during severe COVID-19 depleted circulating neutrophils, altered IFNactive neutrophils, downregulated interferon-stimulated gene, and activated IL1R2+ve neutrophils. Dexamethasone also expanded immunosuppressive immature neutrophils and remodeled cellular interactions by changing neutrophils from information receivers into information providers. Male patients had higher proportions of IFNactive neutrophils, preferential steroid-induced immature neutrophil expansion, and possibly different effects on outcome. Our single-cell atlas (www.biernaskielab.ca/COVID_neutrophil) defines COVID-19-enriched neutrophil states and molecular mechanisms of dexamethasone action to develop targeted immunotherapies for severe COVID-19.

Project description:We conducted single-cell gene expression analysis of neutrophils from mouse tumors with and without microbial treatment to investigate neutrophil response in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Briefly, tumor-infiltrating Ly6G+CD11b+ neutrophils were isolated from unmanipulated tumors (resting), tumors treated with a vehicle control (control), and tumors treated with S. aureus bioparticles (stimulated) 24 hours after treatment. To survey the whole spectrum of the TME, we also isolated and sequenced non-neutrophil leukocytes in each sample.

Project description:Neutrophil gene transcription following lipopolysaccharide exposure. Microarray analysis of lipopolysaccharide-treated human neutrophils. Neutrophils respond to infection by degranulation, release of reactive oxygen intermediates, and secretion of chemokines and cytokines; however, activation of neutrophil transcriptional machinery has been little appreciated. Recent findings suggest that gene expression may represent an additional neutrophil function after exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We performed microarray gene expression analysis of 4,608 mostly nonredundant genes on LPS-stimulated human neutrophils. Analysis of three donors indicated some variability but also a high degree of reproducibility in gene expression. Twenty-eight verifiable, distinct genes were induced by 4 h of LPS treatment, and 13 genes were repressed. Genes other than cytokines and chemokines are regulated; interestingly, genes involved in cell growth regulation and survival, transcriptional regulation, and interferon response are among those induced, whereas genes involved in cytoskeletal regulation are predominantly repressed. In addition, we identified monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 as a novel LPS-regulated chemokine in neutrophils. Included in these lists are five clones with no defined function. These data suggest molecular mechanisms by which neutrophils respond to infection and indicate that the transcriptional potential of neutrophils is greater than previously thought.

Project description:The substrate stiffness plays an important role in mediating the cellular behavior. Neutrophils predominate the early inflammatory response and initiate the regeneration. The neutrophil activation can be regulated by physical cues. However, it is not known how neutrophils respond to substrate stiffness, which is of significant importance in determining the outcomes of engineered tissue mimics. Herein, a three-dimensional culture system made of hydrogel for bone marrow-derived neutrophils was developed to explore the effects of varying stiffness (1.5, 2.6, and 5.7 kPa) on neutrophil phenotype and polarization states.

Project description:Although the accumulation of neutrophils in the lungs and airways is common to many inflammatory lung diseases, including acute lung injury, the alterations that neutrophils undergo as they leave the peripheral circulation and migrate into the lungs have not been well characterized. Human volunteers were exposed to endotoxin by bronchoscopic instillation. The resulting air space neutrophil accumulation and peripheral blood neutrophils were isolated 16 h later, compared with circulating neutrophils isolated before or after to the pulmonary endotoxin exposure, and compared with circulating neutrophils exposed to endotoxin in vitro. Microarray analysis was performed on air space, circulatory, and in vitro endotoxin-stimulated neutrophils. Functional analysis included the determination of neutrophil apoptosis, chemotaxis, release of cytokines and growth factors, and superoxide anion release. Dramatic gene expression differences were apparent between air space and circulating neutrophils: approximately 15% of expressed genes have altered expression levels, including broad increases in inflammatory- and chemotaxis-related genes, as well as antiapoptotic and IKK-activating pathways. Functional analysis of air space compared with circulating neutrophils showed increased superoxide release, diminished apoptosis, decreased IL-8-induced chemotaxis, and a pattern of IL-8, macrophage inflammatory protein-1beta, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha release different from either unstimulated or LPS-stimulated circulating neutrophils. Many of these changes are not elicited by in vitro treatment with endotoxin. Limited differences were detected between circulating neutrophils isolated before and 16 h after pulmonary endotoxin instillation. These results suggest that neutrophils sequestered in the lung become fundamentally different from those resident in the circulation, and this difference is distinct from in vitro activation with endotoxin.

Project description:Lung metastasis is the principal cause of breast cancer-related mortality. Neutrophils have emerged as an important component of the tumor microenvironment (TME), supporting tumor proliferation and mediating immunosuppression. Here, we show that aconitate decarboxylase 1 (Acod1) is highly expressed in tumor-infiltrating neutrophils and promotes breast cancer lung metastasis by supporting neutrophil survival in the TME. Acod1 expression is regulated by tumor-derived granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) through the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPβ) transcription factor activity. Acod1 loss in tumor-infiltrating neutrophils leads to ferroptosis-like cell death, resulting in decreased frequency of neutrophils in the TME. Mechanistically, itaconate, the product of Acod1, activates nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), resulting in upregulated antioxidant responses and decreased lipid-reactive oxygen species. Genetical deletion of Acod1 in neutrophils suppresses lung metastasis of breast cancer in mouse models by decreasing neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and elevating cytotoxic T cell response. Importantly, genetic targeting of Acod1 enhances the anti-tumor efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade. Overall, our findings reveal a mechanism of how immunosuppressive neutrophils survive in the harsh TME and support Acod1-targeting approaches for cancer treatment.
