Single-cell gene expression profiling of interstitial macrophages exposed to hypoxia

ABSTRACT: Employing single-cell transcriptomic analyses, we investigated the repertoire and functional profiles of pulmonary interstitial macrophages in response to exposure at 0, 1, 3, 7, and 21 days of hypobaric hypoxia (at an altitude of 5,486 meters). The repertoire and functional profiles of interstitial macrophages (IMs) undergo dynamic changes based on the duration of hypoxia exposure. Acute hypoxia leads to type 1 acute inflammatory responses in most IM populations, which largely subside by Day 7. The resolution of the inflammatory phase is succeeded by the accumulation of dysregulated IMs, contributing to abnormal pulmonary vascular repair and remodeling. The classical and alternative complement pathways may play distinct roles in regulating early inflammation and later vascular remodeling phases in pulmonary hypertension (PH) pathogenesis. These findings highlight the dynamic nature of IMs, emphasizing that understanding the timing and mechanisms through which they influence PH pathogenesis will contribute to the development of IM-specific therapeutic targets.

Interstitial Macrophage Phenotypes in Schistosoma-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension

Project description:Schistosomiasis, a prevalent cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH) globally, triggers type 2 inflammation, with interstitial macrophages (IMs) derived from monocytes playing a crucial role. These IMs produce thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), activating TGF-β and driving PH pathology. Two distinct IM subpopulations were identified: resident FOLR2+ IMs expressing monocyte recruitment factors, and recruited CCR2+ IMs expressing TSP-1. Upon exposure to Schistosoma, the CCR2+ subpopulation expanded. Flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing confirmed these findings, revealing crosstalk between IM subpopulations. The resident FOLR2+ IMs increased expression of monocyte recruitment ligands, while the recruited CCR2+ IMs expressed elevated TSP-1, activating TGF-β and contributing to PH. This study provides insights into the complex interplay of IM subpopulations in Schistosoma-induced PH, shedding light on potential therapeutic targets for this global health concern.

Activation of Lung Macrophages in Hypoxic Pulmonary Hypertension

Project description:Studies in various animal models suggest an important role for pulmonary macrophages in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Yet, the molecular mechanisms characterizing the functional macrophage phenotype relative to time and pulmonary localization/compartmentalization remain largely unknown. Here, we utilized a hypoxic murine model of PH in combination with flow cytometry assisted cell sorting (FACS) to quantify and isolate lung macrophages from two compartments over time and characterized their programing via RNA sequencing (RNAseq) approaches. In response to hypoxia, we found an early increase in macrophage number that was restricted to the interstitial/perivascular compartment, without recruitment of macrophages to the alveolar compartment or changes in the number of resident alveolar macrophages. Principle component analysis demonstrated significant differences in overall gene expression between alveolar (AMs) and interstitial macrophages (IMs) at baseline and after 4 and 14 days hypoxic exposure. AM’s at both day 4 and 14 and IM’s at day 4 shared a conserved “hypoxia program” characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, pro-inflammatory gene activation and mTORC1 signaling, while IM’s at day 14 demonstrated a unique anti-inflammatory/ pro-reparative programming state. We conclude that the pathogenesis of vascular remodeling in hypoxic PH involves an early compartment independent activation of lung macrophages towards a conserved hypoxia program, with the development of compartment specific programs later on in the course of disease. Thus, harnessing time and compartment specific differences in lung macrophage polarization needs to be considered in the therapeutic targeting of macrophages in hypoxic PH and potentially other inflammatory lung diseases.

Murine Pulmonary Interstitial Macrophage Subsets after Lipopolysaccharide

Project description:We sought to characterize pulmonary interstitial macrophage (IM) origin, subsets, and transcriptomic profiles during homeostasis and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced acute lung inflammation. During homeostasis, we used three complementary methods: spectral flow cytometry, single-cell RNA-sequencing, and gene regulatory network enrichment to demonstrate that IMs can be divided into two core subsets distinguished by surface and transcriptional expression of folate receptor β (Folr2/FRβ). Within FRβ+ IMs we identified a subpopulation marked by co-expression of LYVE1. During acute LPS-induced inflammation, lung IM numbers expand. Lineage tracing revealed IM expansion was due to recruitment of monocyte-derived IMs. At the peak of inflammation, recruited IMs were comprised of two unique subsets defined by expression of genes associated with interferon signaling and glycolytic pathways. As recruited IMs matured, they adopted the overall transcriptional state of FRβ- resident IMs but retained expression in several origin-specific genes. FRβ+ IMs were of near-pure resident origin.

Characterization of murine pulmonary interstitial macrophages at steady state

Project description:In this study we demonstrate that the lung mononuclear phagocyte system comprises three interstitial macrophages (IMs), as well as alveolar macrophages (AMs), dendritic cells and few extravascular monocytes. Through cell sorting and RNAseq analysis we were able to identify transcriptional similarities and differences between the three pulmonary IM subtypes, with reference to the more well-characterized alveolar macrophage

Reverse Remodelling of the Lung Vasculature after Hypoxia

Project description:Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening disease, characterized by excessive pulmonary vascular remodeling, leading to elevated pulmonary arterial pressure and right heart hypertrophy. PH is caused, among other factors, by chronic hypoxia, leading to hyper-proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC) and apoptosis-resistant pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVEC). Upon re-exposure to normoxia, chronic hypoxia-induced PH in mice is reversible. In this study, we aim to identify novel candidate genes involved in pulmonary vascular remodeling specifically in the pulmonary vasculature.

Differential impacts of DNA methylation on pH dependent i-motifs formation in rice [ChIP-seq]

Project description:I-motifs (iMs) are four-stranded non-B DNA structures containing C-rich DNA sequences, which can be formed under various pH conditions. DNA methylation exhibits complex impacts on iM formation in vitro. However, how DNA methylation differentially affects pH dependent iM formation on a genome wide scale is completely uncharacterized in both humans and plants. To this end, we conducted iM-IP-seq under pH 5.5 and 7.0 conditions using CK and hyper/hypomethylated DNA in combination with BS-seq in rice. We found that pH 7.0 and 5.5 biased iMs had distinct genomic features and differential DNA methylation levels, the former having higher DNA methylation levels than the latter. Moreover, DNA demethylation and hyper methylation had more impacts on a subset of iM formation under pH 7.0 and 5.5, respectively, indicating that DNA de/hyper-methylation exhibits pH dependent impacts on iM formation. Importantly, we found that CG hypo-DMRs and CHH hyper-DMRs alone or coordinated with CG/CHG hyper-DMRs may play determinant roles in the regulation of iM formation under pH 5.5 and 7.0. Thus, our study shows that intrinsic DNA sequences alone or in combination with DNA methylation play vital roles in determining pH-dependent formation of iMs. It will contribute to in-depth understanding of DNA methylation in the modulation of pH dependent dynamics of iM conformation, therefore broadening its biological implications and practical application ranges.

iMbody - a nanobody for i-Motif research

Project description:i-Motifs (iMs) are four-stranded structures formed by certain cytosine-rich nucleic acids. They may be involved in regulation of cellular processes such as transcription. In addition, the pH dependency of iMs makes them suitable for certain nanobiotechnological applications. Probes that recognize these structures with high specificity and affinity can significantly advance the iM research field. Here we report the generation of an iM specific nanobody (iMbody) and describe its applications for the in vitro characterization of a potential iM-forming oligonucleotide, strand-specific pull-down of iMs present in the human genome at near physiological pH and temperature followed by sequencing, and visualization of iMs in the nuclei of human cells. Utilization of iMbody could be beyond above-mentioned applications and it can be used to investigate iMs in other organisms. The plasmid encoding iMbody for the bacterial expression is available via Addgene (Plasmid #184496).

Transcriptomics and proteomics revealed sex differences in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells

Project description:There is marked sexual dimorphism displayed in the onset and progression of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Females more commonly develop pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), however, females with PAH and other types of PH have better survival than males. Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells play a crucial role in the pulmonary vascular remodelling and increased pulmonary vascular resistance of PH. Given this background, we hypothesized that there are sex differences in the pulmonary microvascular endothelium basally and in response to hypoxia that are independent of the sex hormone environment.

Stub1 acetylation by CBP/p300 attenuates chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension by suppressing HIF-2α transcriptional activity

Project description:Chronic hypoxia induces pulmonary vascular remodeling and pulmonary hypertension (PH). While it is established that transcription factors, hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF-1α/HIF-2α) activate gene programs that drive hypoxia-induced PH, the mechanism of HIF-1/2 activation is less clear. Here, we report that carboxylterminus of Hsp70-interacting protein (CHIP or Stub1) modulates HIF-1α and HIF-2α transcription rather than reducing their stability. Knocking-down Stub1 reduced hypoxic activation of HIF-1α mRNA, protein, and activity while enhancing hypoxic induction of HIF-2α mRNA, protein, and target genes in pulmonary vascular cells. Mechanistically, CBP/p300-mediated acetylation of lysine (K287) inactivates the ubiquitin ligase activity of Stub1 and triggers its translocation from the cytoplasm into the nucleus. There, it recognizes the HIF promoter and hypoxia response elements (HREs) in target genes. Expression of Stub1-K287Q mutant (mimicking acetylation) enhanced hypoxia-induced HIF-1α expression, while acetyl-deficient Stub1-K287R mutant had the opposite effect on HIF-α but enhanced hypoxia-induced HIF-2α transcriptional activity. Endothelial-Stub1 transgenic mice tolerated chronic hypoxia better, had less pulmonary vascular remodeling, reduced pulmonary vascular resistance, and greater cardioprotection. Thus, Stub1 nuclear translocation enhances hypoxic induction of HIF-1α activity while suppressing deleterious effects of HIF-2α. These observations indicate that nuclear-Stub1 synergizes with HIF-1α to promote transcriptional responses and antagonizes HIF2α-driven PH in chronic hypoxia.
