Project description:Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Lesion progression is primarily mediated by cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. Interleukin-17A is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, which modulates immune cell trafficking and is involved inflammation in (auto)immune and infectious diseases. But the role of IL-17A still remains controversial. In the current study we investigated effects of IL-17A on advanced murine and human atherosclerosis, the common disease phenotype in clinical care. 26-weeks old apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apoe-/-) mice were fed a standard chow diet and treated either with IL-17A mAb (n=15) or irrelevant immunoglobulin (n=10) for 16 weeks. Furthermore, essential mechanisms of IL-17A in atherogenesis were studied in vitro. Inhibition of IL-17A markedly prevented atherosclerotic lesion progression (P=0.001) by reducing inflammatory burden and cellular infiltration (P=0.01) and improved lesion stability (P=0.01). In vitro experiments showed that IL-17A plays a role in chemoattractance, monocyte adhesion, sensitization of antigen-presenting cells toward pathogen-derived TLR4 ligands. Also, IL-17A induced a unique transcriptome pattern in monocyte-derived macrophages distinct from known macrophage types. Stimulation of human carotid plaque tissue ex vivo with IL-17A induced a pro-inflammatory milieu and up-regulation of molecules expressed by the IL-17A-induced macrophage subtype. We here show for the first time that functional blockade of IL-17A prevents atherosclerotic lesion progression and induces plaque stabilization in advanced lesions in Apoe-/- mice. The underlying mechanisms involve reduced inflammation and distinct effects of IL-17A on monocyte / macrophage lineage. In addition, translational experiments underline the relevance for the human system. Effects of IL-17A on human monocyte-derived macrophages were assessed (n=2 per group).

Project description:Synovial fibroblasts contribute to the inflammatory temporomandibular joint under pathogenic stimuli. Synovial fibroblasts and T cells participate in the perpetuation of joint inflammation in a mutual activation feedback, via secretion of cytokines and chemokines that stimulate each other. IL-17 is an inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by Th17 cells that plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of numerous autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Here, we investigated the roles of IL-17A in temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) by using genome-wide analysis of synovial fibroblasts isolated from patients with TMD. We analyzed the gene expression profiles of synovial fibroblasts that were treated with or without IL-17A. IL-17 induced gene expression in synovial fibroblasts from human temporomandibular joint was measured at 4 hours after treated with IL-17A (10 ng/ml) and untreated control samples. This experiment used one donor sample.

Project description:Hypoxia is associated with increased erythropoietin (EPO) release to drive erythropoiesis. However, a prolonged sojourn at high altitude results in an increase in EPO levels followed by a decrease, although erythropoiesis remains elevated at a stable level. The role of hypoxia and related EPO adjustments are not fully understood and contributed to the formulation of the theory of neocytolysis. In this study, we aimed to exclusively evaluate the role of oxygen on erythropoiesis comparing in vitro erythroid differentiation performed at atmospheric oxygen, with a lower oxygen concentration (3% O2) and with cultures of erythroid precursors isolated from peripheral blood after a 19-day sojourn at high altitude (3450 m). Results highlight an accelerated erythroid maturation at low oxygen and more concave morphology of reticulocytes. No differences in deformability were observed in the formed reticulocytes in the tested conditions. Moreover, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells isolated from blood affected by hypoxia at high altitude did not result in a different erythroid development, suggesting no retention of high altitude signature but rather an immediate adaptation to oxygen concentration. This adaptation was observed during in vitro erythropoiesis at 3% oxygen, displaying a significantly increased glycolytic metabolic profile. These hypoxia-induced effects on in vitro erythropoiesis fail to provide an intrinsic explanation to the concept of neocytolysis.

Project description:Resistance to erythropoietin (EPO) treatment is observed in a considerable proportion of anemic patients with chronic kidney disease. Previous reports suggest that inflammation is one of the major independent predictors of this resistance, and pro-inflammatory cytokines have been shown to inhibit erythropoiesis. The aim of this study was to investigate EPO-induced modification to gene expression in primary cultured leukocytes. Microarray experiments were performed on ex vivo Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) from pooled ten healthy donors (n=9), primed or not with TNF-alpha, and treated with recombinant human erythropoietin alpha (EPO-alpha). Real-time PCR experiments were used to validate expression of the molecular targets considered most relevant for inflammation. Data analysis suggested that EPO-alpha treatment mainly modulated genes involved in cell movement and cell-cell interaction in primed PBMCs. Notably, EPO-alpha exerts anti-inflammatory effects inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-8 and its receptor CXCR2; by contrast, EPO-alpha further increases expression of genes relating to promotion of inflammation encoding for IL-1beta and CCL8, and induces de novo synthesis of IL-1alpha, CXCL1 and CXCL5 in primed PBMCs. MAPK p38alpha?reducing activity is involved in modulation of IL-1beta and IL-8 expression. In conclusion, our findings confirm the anti-inflammatory role for EPO, but also suggest a plausible in vivo scenario, in which the positive correlation found between EPO-resistance and elevated levels of some pro-inflammatory mediators is due to treatment with EPO itself. One future objective will be to perform in vivo measurement of the molecular targets highlighted, in order to identify any additional markers involved in EPO-resistance among hypo-responsive patients. In this study, we analyzed the expression profiles of pooled blood PBMCs from 10 healthy donors primed or not with TNF-alpha and then treated with EPO-alpha. All RNAs from no stimulated PBMCs were hybridized against RNAs from PBMCs treated with TNF-alpha or TNF-alpha and EPO-alpha. We performed a total of 9 technical replicates.

Project description:Erythropoietin (EPO) is the major regulator of erythropoiesis, with levels increasing in response to anemia or hypoxia. Recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) is commonly used to treat anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease or cancer. Beyond its role in erythropoiesis, EPO exerts immunomodulatory effects. Emerging evidence suggests that EPO modulates other hematopoietic lineages, such as megakaryocytes while negatively impacting B-cell development. However, its influence on lympho-hematopoiesis remains insufficiently explored. We investigated the effects of EPO on B lymphopoiesis in the context of hyper-EPOemia-induced stress hematopoiesis. Using an EPO supplementation model in C57BL/6 mice, we demonstrate that EPO impairs B lymphopoiesis during Pre-Pro-B to Pro-B transition, by downregulating essential receptor like IL-7 receptor. Conversely, EPO promotes early B-cell development at the common lymphoid progenitor (CLP) and Pre-Pro-B stages. Remarkably, EPO induces the emergence of atypical B-cell precursors with a myeloid imprint, including CSF1R/CD115-expressing CLPs and CD11b and CD16/32-expressing Pre-Pro-B cells. Gene expression profiling revealed that EPO reprograms early B-cell precursors, upregulating a myeloid transcriptional signature while downregulating B-lymphoid identity genes as for instance genes targeted by key transcription factors IRF4, FOXO1, ERG and IRF8. Additionally, EPO exposure impairs hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell proliferation, induces oxidative stress and disrupts iron homeostasis. We additionally observed lymphoid over myeloid progenitor imbalance in the bone marrow and increased extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen. In conclusion, hyper-EPOemia reprograms B lymphopoiesis and promotes the emergence of mixed-lineage myeloid-like B cells. Future studies will explore EPO’s effects on lymphoid progenitor fate under hypoxic and infectious conditions.

Project description:IL-17A is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that promotes host defense against infections and contributes to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases. Dendritic cells (DC) are antigen-presenting cells responsible for adaptive immune responses. Here, we report that IL-17A induces intense remodeling of lipid metabolism in human monocyte-derived DC, as revealed by microarrays analysis. In particular NR1H3/LXR-a and its target genes were significantly upregulated in response to IL-17A. IL-17A induced accumulation of Oil Red O-positive lipid droplets in DC leading to the generation of lipid-laden DC. A lipidomic study established that all the analyzed lipid species, i.e phospholipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, cholesteryl esters were elevated in IL-17A-treated DC. The increased expression of membrane lipid transporters in IL-17A-treated DC as well as their enhanced ability to uptake the fatty acid Bodipy-FL-C16 suggested that lipid uptake was the main mechanism responsible for lipid accumulation in response to IL-17A. IL-17A-induced lipid laden DC were able to stimulate allogeneic T cell proliferation in vitro as efficiently as untreated DC, indicating that IL-17A-treated DC are potently immunogenic. This study, encompassed in the field of immunometabolism, points out for the first time IL-17A as a modulator of lipid metabolism in DC and provides a rationale to delineate the importance of lipid-laden DC in IL-17A-related inflammatory diseases. We used microarrays analysis to understand the impact of IL-17A on human monocyte-derived human dendritic cells. We found overexpression of many genes involved in lipid metabolism in IL-17A-treated dendritic cells compared to untreated dendritic cells. In particular NR1H3/LXR-a and its target genes were significantly upregulated in response to IL-17A.

RNA was extracted from untreated in vitro-generated DC at day 0 (DC, 4 biological replicates ) or DC cultured for 12 days with IL-17A, in the absence or presence of IFN-g (DC-17 and DC-G17, 5 biological replicates)

Project description:IL-17A and F are critical cytokines in anti-microbial immunity but also contribute to auto-immune pathologies. Recent evidence suggests that they may be differentially produced by T-helper (Th) cells but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. To address this question, a logical model containing 82 components and 136 regulatory links was developed and calibrated with original flow cytometry data using naive CD4+ T cells in conditions inducing either IL-17A or F. Model analyses led to the identification of the transcription factors NFAT2A, STAT5A and Smad2 as key components explaining the differential expression of IL-17A and IL-17F, with STAT5A controlling IL-17F expression, and an interplay of NFAT2A, STAT5A and Smad2 controlling IL-17A expression.
