CGRP sensory neurons promote tissue healing by modulating neutrophils and macrophages

ABSTRACT: Since the immune system plays a critical role in orchestrating tissue healing, regenerative strategies that control immune components have proven effective. This is particularly relevant when immune dysregulation resulting from conditions such as diabetes or advanced age impairs tissue healing following injury. Nociceptive sensory neurons play a crucial role as immunoregulators, exerting both protective and harmful effects depending on the context. However, how neuro-immune interactions impact tissue repair and regeneration after acute injury is unclear. Here, we show that Nav1.8+ nociceptor ablation impairs skin wound repair and muscle regeneration after acute tissue injuries. Nociceptor endings grow into injured skin and muscle tissues and signal to immune cells through the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) during the healing process. CGRP acts via receptor activity modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) on neutrophils and macrophages to inhibit recruitment, accelerate death, enhance efferocytosis, and polarise macrophages towards a pro-repair phenotype. CGRP effects on neutrophils and macrophages are mediated via thrombospondin-1 release and its subsequent autocrine/paracrine effects. In mice without nociceptors and diabetic mice with peripheral neuropathies, delivering an engineered version of CGRP accelerated wound healing and promoted muscle regeneration. Harnessing neuro-immune interactions holds potential to treat non-healing tissues where dysregulated neuro-immune interactions impair tissue healing.

Bacteria hijack a neuro-immune axis in meninges to facilitate brain invasion

Project description:The meninges are densely innervated by nociceptive sensory neurons that mediate pain and headache. How pain and neuro-immune interactions impact meningeal host defenses is unclear. Bacterial meningitis causes life-threatening infections of the meninges and central nervous system (CNS), affecting over one million people a year. Here we find that Nav1.8+ neuron signaling to immune cells in the meninges via the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) exacerbates bacterial meningitis. Nociceptor ablation reduced meningeal and brain invasion by two bacterial pathogens: Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus agalactiae. S. pneumoniae activated nociceptors via Pneumolysin to release CGRP, which acts through its receptor RAMP1 on meningeal macrophages to inhibit chemokine expression, neutrophil recruitment and antimicrobial defenses. Macrophage-specific RAMP1 deficiency or blockade of RAMP1 signaling enhanced immune responses and bacterial clearance in meninges and brain. Therefore, targeting a neuro-immune axis in the meninges can enhance host defenses and may be a potential treatment for bacterial meningitis.

A Growth Factor-Expressing Macrophage subpopulation orchestrates regenerative inflammation via GDF-15

Project description:Muscle regeneration is the result of the concerted action of multiple cell types driven by the temporarily controlled phenotype switches of infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophages. Proinflammatory macrophages transition into a phenotype that drives tissue repair through the production of effectors such as growth factors. This orchestrated sequence of regenerative inflammatory events, which we termed Regeneration-Promoting Program (RPP), is essential for proper repair. However, it is not well understood how specialized repair-macrophage identity develops in the RPP at the transcriptional level and how induced macrophage-derived factors coordinate tissue repair. Gene expression kinetics-based clustering of blood circulating Ly6Chigh, infiltrating inflammatory Ly6Chigh, and reparative Ly6Clow macrophages, isolated from injured muscle, identified the TGF-beta superfamily member, GDF-15, as a component of the RPP. Myeloid GDF-15 is required for proper muscle regeneration following acute sterile injury, as revealed by gain- and loss-of-function studies. Mechanistically, GDF-15 acts both on proliferating myoblasts and muscle-infiltrating myeloid cells. Epigenomic analyses of upstream regulators of Gdf15 expression identified that it is under the control of nuclear receptors RXR/PPARg. Finally, immune single-cell RNA-seq profiling revealed that Gdf15 is coexpressed with other known muscle regeneration-associated growth factors, and their expression is limited to a unique subpopulation of repair-type macrophages (Growth Factor-Expressing Macrophages, GFEM).

Transcriptional characterization of major cellular compartments within muscle tissue at homeostasis and after acute injury in mice

Project description:A distinct population of Foxp3+CD4+ regulatory T (Treg) cells promotes repair of acutely or chronically injured skeletal muscle. The accumulation of these cells depends critically on interleukin (IL)-33 produced by local mesenchymal stromal cells (mSCs). An intriguing physical association between muscle nerves, IL-33+ mSCs and Tregs has been reported, and begs a deeper exploration of this cell triumvirate. Here we evidence a striking proximity between IL-33+ muscle mSCs and both large-fiber nerve bundles and small-fiber sensory neurons; report that muscle mSCs transcribe an array of genes encoding neuropeptides, neuropeptide receptors and other nerve-related proteins; define muscle mSC subtypes that express both IL-33 and the receptor for the calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP); and demonstrate that up- or down- tuning of CGRP signals augments or diminishes, respectively, IL-33 production by muscle mSCs and later accumulation of muscle Tregs. Indeed, a single injection of CGRP induced much of the genetic program elicited in mSCs early after acute skeletal muscle injury. These findings highlight neural/stromal/immune-cell cross-talk in tissue repair, suggesting future therapeutic approaches.

Heterogeneous Origins and Functions of Mouse Skeletal Muscle Resident Macrophages

Project description:Tissue resident macrophages can arise from either embryonic or adult hematopoiesis and play important roles in a wide range of biological processes, such as tissue remodeling during organogenesis, tissue homeostasis in the steady state, tissue repair following injury, and immune response to pathogens. Although the origins and tissue-specific functions of resident macrophages have been extensively studied in many other tissues, they are not well characterized in skeletal muscle. In the present study, we have characterized for the first time the ontogeny of skeletal muscle resident macrophages, showing evidence that they arise from both embryonic hematopoietic progenitors, including yolk sac primitive macrophages and fetal liver monocytes, and adult bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells. Single cell-based transcriptome analysis revealed that skeletal muscle resident macrophages were highly distinctive from resident macrophages in other tissues, expressing a specific set of transcription factors and containing functionally diverse subsets correlating to their origins. They appear more active in maintaining tissue homeostasis and promoting muscle growth and regeneration.

ALOX12-expressing macrophages produce MCTRs to promote local efferocytosis and tissue repair

Project description:Poor wound healing due to dysregulated tissue repair responses can exacerbate and prolong disease. Successful tissue repair is critically dependent on the timely clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages in a process termed efferocytosis. Mechanisms and factors that link these two fundamental processes are therefore of great interest. Herein, we observed that a subset of 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12)-expressing macrophages upregulate the production of host protective autacoids termed maresin conjugates in tissue regeneration (MCTR) during efferocytosis. MCTRs in turn play autocrine and paracrine functions in enhancing the ability of both ALOX12-positive and surrounding ALOX12-negative macrophages to uptake apoptotic cells. These effects of ALOX12-positive macrophages and MCTRs in regulating apoptotic cells clearance was also observed at sites of high apoptotic cell burden in mouse and flatworm models, as the formation of these mediators was upregulated and abrogation of related ALOX activity in mice reduced the ability of macrophages to clear apoptotic cells. Furthermore, add-back of MCTRs rapidly enhanced the efferocytosis capability of macrophages in mice and planarian flatworms. Mechanistic studies in macrophages revealed that MCTRs modulated Rac1 signalling and glycolytic metabolism, two pathways crucial for effective efferocytosis, and enhanced efferocytosis-induced WNT ligand production. Inhibition of Rac1 abrogated the ability of MCTRs to enhance glucose uptake and efferocytosis in vitro, while inhibiting either Rac1, glycolysis, or WNT ligand production prevented MCTR-mediated enhancement of apoptotic cell clearance and tissue regeneration. Taken together, our findings identify a central role for ALOX12-expressing macrophages in the regulation of efferocytosis and tissue repair via the local formation of MCTRs.
