Transcriptomic analysis reveals novel mechanisms underlying neutrophil activation induced by high salt

ABSTRACT: Elevated sodium concentrations are commonly observed in tumors and sites of inflammation. Previous studies have shown that high salt levels modulate the phenotype and function of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, regulatory T cells and macrophages. In this study, we performed transcriptomic studies that revealed profound alterations in the neutrophil transcriptome upon high salt exposure, with changes that significantly exceeded those triggered by conventional agonists. By integrating transcriptomic data with functional assays, our findings indicate that high salt-induced neutrophil activation involves mitochondrial ROS production, which subsequently activates p38 MAPK and engages FOS-, BTK-, and COX2-dependent pathways. Remarkably, the plasticity of the neutrophil transcriptome in response to high salt was further evidenced by the upregulation of genes typically associated with other cell types, including SEMG1, ICAM4, TRIM69, AREG, OSM, and TOB1, suggesting a broader role for neutrophils in different biological processes beyond their participation in innate immunity.

BTK drives neutrophil activation for sterilizing antifungal immunity

Project description:We describe a previously unappreciated role for Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) in fungal immune surveillance against aspergillosis, an unforeseen complication of BTK inhibitors (BTKi) used for treating B-cell lymphoid malignancies. We studied BTK-dependent fungal responses in neutrophils from diverse populations, including healthy donors, BTKi-treated patients, and X-linked agammaglobulinemia patients. Upon fungal exposure, BTK was activated in human neutrophils in a TLR2-, Dectin-1-, and FcgR-dependent manner, triggering the oxidative burst. BTK inhibition selectively impeded neutrophil-mediated damage to Aspergillus hyphae, primary granule release, and the fungus-induced oxidative burst by abrogating NADPH oxidase subunit p40phox and GTPase RAC2 activation. Moreover, neutrophil-specific Btk deletion in mice enhanced aspergillosis susceptibility by impairing neutrophil function, not recruitment nor lifespan. Conversely, GM-CSF partially mitigated these deficits by enhancing p47phox activation. Our findings underline the crucial role of BTK signaling in neutrophils for antifungal immunity and provide a rationale for GM-CSF use to offset these deficits in susceptible patients.

An IL-17-Ly6G+Polymorphonuclear Neutrophil (PMN) axis limits protective host responses against tuberculosis.

Project description:The protective correlates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection-elicited host immune responses are incompletely understood. Here we report pro-pathogenic crosstalk between IL-17, COX2, and Ly6G+Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils (PMNs). We show that most intracellular bacilli in the wild-type (WT) mice's lungs are Ly6G+PMN-resident. In BCG-vaccinated WT mice, Mtb continues to persist inside Ly6G+PMNs, which is sensitive to COX2 inhibition. Using a genetically susceptible IFNγ -/- mice model, we report that excessive neutrophil infiltration and corresponding bacteremia are dependent on Ly6G+PMN-derived IL-17. COX2 inhibition and IL-17 neutralization reverses Ly6G+PMN infiltration, associated pathology and death in IFNγ -/- mice. Inhibiting RORγT along with COX2 in Mtb-infected WT mice further demonstrates the pathological nature of the IL-17- Ly6G+PMN axis. Clinically, in a prospective cohort of pulmonary TB subjects, high neutrophil count and serum IL-17 levels precipitate adverse treatment outcomes. Therefore, targeting the pro-pathogenic IL-17- Ly6G+PMN axis could enhance TB prevention and therapy in normal and genetically vulnerable subjects.

Oncostatin M drives multifaceted immune pathogenesis in atopic dermatitis-like inflammation via neutrophil-dependent mechanisms

Project description:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by T helper 2 cell dysregulation and accumulation of innate immune cells. While recent studies have highlighted a role for neutrophils in the onset and progression of AD, their precise contributions remain incompletely defined. In a mouse model of AD-like inflammation induced by calcipotriol and ovalbumin, neutrophils were identified as a major source of the cytokine oncostatin M (OSM). Neutrophil-derived OSM promoted broad immune cell recruitment, exacerbated skin inflammation, and enhanced the expression of neuronal markers associated with pruritus. Knockdown of OSM and neutrophil depletion both attenuated inflammatory responses and neuronal activation. Publicly available single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets further confirmed increased OSM expression in neutrophils from lesional AD skin, underscoring the translational relevance of our findings. These results reveal a previously unrecognized intercellular communication axis in which neutrophil-derived OSM orchestrates multifaceted immune and neuroinflammatory responses in AD. Targeting this signaling pathway may offer a novel therapeutic avenue for AD and related inflammatory disorders.

Oncostatin M neutralization in E. coli pneumonia

Tob1 is a Constitutively Expressed Repressor of Liver Regeneration

Project description:How proliferative and inhibitory cell signals integrate to control liver regeneration remains poorly understood. A screen for antiproliferative factors repressed after liver injury identified Tob1, a member of the PC3/BTG1 family of mitoinhibitory molecules as a target for further evaluation. Tob1 protein decreases after 2/3 hepatectomy in mice secondary to post-transcriptional mechanisms. Deletion of Tob1 increases hepatocyte proliferation and accelerates restoration of liver mass after hepatectomy. Down-regulation of Tob1 is required for normal liver regeneration and Tob1 controls hepatocyte proliferation in a dose-dependent fashion. Tob1 associates directly with both Caf1 and the Cyclin/cdk complex to modulate kinase activity. In addition, Tob1 has significant effects on the transcription of critical cell cycle components, including E2F targets and genes involved in p53 signaling. These studies provide direct evidence that levels of an inhibitory factor control the rate of liver regeneration. Our data identify Tob1 as a crucial check-point molecule that acts by by modulating levels and activity of cell cycle proteins.

RNA IP Seq analysis of Cnot7 in 4T1 mammary tumor cells

Project description:Native RNA immunoprecipitation of Cnot7-bound transcripts. Abstract: Accumulating evidence supports the role of an aberrant transcriptome as a driver of tumor cell metastatic potential. Deadenylation is a general regulatory node for post-transcriptional control by microRNAs and other determinants of RNA stability. We show here that CCR4-NOT subunit CNOT7 is a deadenylase-dependent driver of tumor cell autonomous metastatic potential. Metastasis promotion by CNOT7 is dependent on contact with CNOT1 and TOB1. We further show TOB1 independently drives metastasis. RNA-immunoprecipitation and integrated transcriptome wide analyses reveal that CNOT7-regulated transcripts are enriched for a tripartite 3’UTR motif bound by RNA-binding proteins known to complex with CNOT7, TOB1, and CNOT1. Collectively, our data support a model of CNOT7, TOB1, CNOT1, and RNA-binding proteins collectively exerting post-transcriptional control on a metastasis suppressive transcriptional program to drive tumor cell metastasis.

YAP mediates tumorigenesis in neurofibromatosis type 2 through a COX2-EGFR signaling axis

Project description:The Hippo-YAP signaling pathway has emerged as a major driver of tumorigenesis in a wide spectrum of human cancers. YAP functions as a transcriptional activator and while details of YAP regulation are emerging at a fast pace, it remains unknown what downstream targets are critical for YAP oncogenic functions. To establish the mechanisms involved and identify disease-relevant targets we examined the role of YAP in neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) using cell and animal models. YAP function is required in NF2-null Schwann cells to promote cell survival and for tumor growth, in vivo. Moreover, YAP promotes transcription of several targets including Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), which controls production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and amphiregulin (AREG), a member of the epidermal growth factor family. Both AREG and PGE2 converge to activate survival signaling through EGFR, in a Src-dependent manner, thus promoting cell survival. Importantly, treatment with the COX2 inhibitor celecoxib significantly repressed the growth of NF2-null Schwann cells in vitro and tumor growth in a mouse model of NF2-associated schwnnoma.
