Chikungunya virus infection disrupts lymph node lymphatic endothelial cell composition and function via MARCO

ABSTRACT: Infection with chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes disruption of draining lymph node (dLN) organization, including paracortical relocalization of B cells, loss of the B cell-T cell border, and lymphocyte depletion that is associated with infiltration of the LN with inflammatory myeloid cells. Here, we find that during the first 24 h of infection, CHIKV RNA accumulates in MARCO-expressing lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) in both the floor and medullary LN sinuses. The accumulation of viral RNA in the LN was associated with a switch to an antiviral and inflammatory gene expression program across LN stromal cells, and this inflammatory response, including recruitment of myeloid cells to the LN, was accelerated by CHIKV-MARCO interactions. As CHIKV infection progressed, both floor and medullary LECs diminished in number, suggesting further functional impairment of the LN by infection. Consistent with this idea, antigen acquisition by LECs, a key function of LN LECs during infection and immunization, was reduced during pathogenic CHIKV infection.

MARCO+ lymphatic endothelial cells sequester arthritogenic alphaviruses in the draining lymph node and limit viral dissemination

Project description:While viremia in the vertebrate host is a critical determinant of arboviral reservoir competency, transmission efficiency, and disease severity, immune mechanisms that control arboviral viremia are poorly defined. Here, we identify critical roles for the scavenger receptor MARCO in controlling viremia during arthritogenic alphavirus infections in mice. Following subcutaneous inoculation, alphavirus particles drain via the lymph and are rapidly captured by MARCO+ lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) in the draining lymph node (dLN), limiting viral spread to the bloodstream. Upon reaching the bloodstream, MARCO-expressing Kupffer cells in the liver remove circulating alphavirus particles, limiting viremia and further viral dissemination. MARCO-mediated accumulation of alphavirus particles in the lymph node and liver has important implications as viremia and viral tissue burdens are elevated in MARCO-/- mice and disease outcomes are more severe. These findings uncover a previously unrecognized pathogen scavenging role for LECs and improve our mechanistic understanding of viremia control during arboviral infections.

Phagocytosis of mycobacteria by zebrafish macrophages is dependent on the scavenger receptor Marco, a key control factor of pro-inflammatory signalling

Project description:Scavenger receptors on the cell surface of macrophages play an important role in host defence through their ability to bind microbial ligands and induce phagocytosis. Concurrently, signal transduction pathways are initiated that aid in defence mechanisms against the invading microbe. Here we report on the function of scavenger receptor Marco (macrophage receptor with collagenous structure) during infection of zebrafish embryos with Mycobacterium marinum, a close relative of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Morpholino knockdown demonstrates that Marco is required for the rapid phagocytosis of M. marinum following intravenous infection. Furthermore, gene expression analysis shows that Marco controls the initial transient pro-inflammatory response to M. marinum and remains a determining factor for the immune response signature at later stages of infection. Increased bacterial burden following marco knockdown indicates that this scavenger receptor is important for control of M. marinum growth, likely due to delayed phagocytosis and reduced pro-inflammatory signalling observed under conditions of Marco deficiency

Single-cell RNA-seq of the mouse lymph node lymphatic vasculature: SMART-seq2

Project description:Lymph nodes (LNs) serve as hubs for the interaction and communication between tissue-derived and blood-derived immune cells. Here we analyzed mouse lymph node (LN) lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) at single cell resolution. Clustering identifies five well-delineated subsets, including two medullary sinus subsets not recognized previously as distinct. Nearest neighbor alignments in trajectory space position the major subsets in a sequence that recapitulates known and suggests novel features of LN lymphatic organization, providing a transcriptional map of the lymphatic endothelial niches and of the transitions between them. Differences in gene expression reveal specialized programs for (1) subcapsular ceiling endothelial interactions with the capsule connective tissue and cells, (2) subcapsular floor regulation of lymph borne cell entry into the LN parenchyma and antigen presentation, and (3) medullary subset specialization for pathogen interactions and LN remodeling. LEC of the subcapsular sinus floor and medulla, which represent major sites of cell entry and exit from the LN parenchyma respectively, respond robustly to oxazolone inflammation challenge with enriched signaling pathways that converge on both innate and adaptive immune responses.

Single-cell survey of human lymphatics unveils marked endothelial cell heterogeneity and mechanisms of homing for neutrophils

Project description:Lymphatic vessels form a critical component in the regulation of human health and disease. While their functional significance is increasingly being recognized, the comprehensive heterogeneity of lymphatics remains uncharacterized. Here, we report the profiling of 33,000 lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) in human lymph nodes (LNs) by single-cell RNA sequencing. Unbiased clustering revealed six major types of human LECs. LECs lining the sub-capsular sinus (SCS) of LNs abundantly expressed neutrophil chemoattractants, whereas LECs lining the medullary sinus (MS) expressed a C-type lectin CD209. Binding of a carbohydrate Lewis X (CD15) to CD209 mediated neutrophil binding to the MS. The neutrophil-selective homing by MS LECs may retain neutrophils in the LN medulla and allow lymph-borne pathogens to clear, preventing their spread through LNs in humans. Our study provides a comprehensive characterization of LEC heterogeneity and unveils a previously undefined role for medullary LECs in human immunity.

Single-cell characterization of macrophages in glioblastoma reveals MARCO as a mesenchymal pro-tumor marker

Project description:Macrophages are the most common infiltrating immune cells in glioblastoma (GBM), and play a wide variety of pro-tumor and anti-tumor roles. However, the different subpopulations of macrophages and their effects on the tumor microenvironment remain poorly understood. Here, we combine new and previously-published single-cell RNA-seq data from 86,279 single cells from a total of 63 gliomas to profile 17,774 individual macrophages. Unsupervised clustering revealed an anti-inflammatory subpopulation of macrophages characterized by expression of MARCO (macrophage receptor with collagenous structure), a gene which has not been previously well-characterized in gliomas. MARCO is almost exclusively expressed in macrophages of IDH1-wildtype GBM rather than IDH1-mutated GBM or lower-grade gliomas. Previous studies have implicated MARCO as an unfavorable marker in melanoma and non-small-cell lung cancer; here, we find that bulk MARCO expression is associated with worse prognosis in TCGA glioblastomas, and associates with the mesenchymal expression subtype. Our single-cell analysis shows that this previously-reported mesenchymal signature primarily arises from MARCO-expressing macrophages. These MARCO-expressing macrophages differentially over-express gene sets related to hypoxia and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and under-express gene sets related to inflammation and antigen presentation. We show evidence that MARCO-expressing macrophages are recruited from the blood (as opposed to being resident microglia), and paired single-cell analysis of tumor and myeloid cells demonstrate that this recruitment may be driven by known chemoattractant factors. Furthermore, MARCO expression is significantly altered over the course of treatment with PD1 checkpoint inhibitors. These findings illustrate a novel myeloid subpopulation that drives tumor progression in glioblastomas, and suggest potential therapeutic targets to prevent their recruitment glioblastoma.

exosomal ELNAT1 promotes lymphatic metastasis of bladder cancer

Project description:The crosstalk between tumor cells and LECs triggers the LN metastasis in bladder cancer (BCa), but the underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. Previously, we identified that BCa-secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs)-packaged lncRNAs mediated the communication with LECs and promoted LN metastasis. To evaluate whether EV-packaged lncRNAs triggered the LN metastasis of BCa, next-generation sequencing (NGS) to the global expression profiles of lncRNAs was utilized in the urinary EVs (urinary-EV) of five MIBC patients and five healthy volunteers.

Crosstalk between CD64+MHCII+ macrophages and CD4+ T cells mediates joint pathology during chikungunya

Project description:Communications between immune cells are essential to ensure appropriate coordination of their activities. Here, we observed the infiltration of activated macrophages into the joint-footpads of chikungunya virus (CHIKV)-infected animals. Large numbers of CD64+MHCII+ and CD64+MHCII- macrophages were present in the joint-footpad, preceded by the recruitment of their CD11b+Ly6C+ inflammatory monocyte precursors. Regulation of these myeloid subsets was highly dependent on IFNγ and GM-CSF secreted by CHIKV-specific CD4+ T cells. Transcriptomic and gene ontology analyses of CD64+MHCII+ and CD64+MHCII- macrophages revealed 89 differentially expressed genes, including genes involved in T cell proliferation and differentiation pathways. Depletion of CD64+MHCII+ macrophages from CHIKV-infected mice reduced disease pathology, demonstrating that these cells play a pro-inflammatory role in CHIKV infection. Together, these results highlight the synergistic dynamics of immune cell crosstalk in driving CHIKV immunopathogenesis. This study provides new insights in the disease mechanism and offers opportunities for development of novel anti-CHIKV therapeutics.
