Genetic and pharmacological targeting of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor action blocks tumor progression in mouse models of breast cancer

ABSTRACT: The alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor has a functional role in myeloid immune cells in models of injury and infection, but a role in tumor associated immune cells has not been established. Here we focus on the role of CHRNA7 in myeloid immune cells in immune competent triple negative breast cancer mouse models. The purpose of our scRNAseq studies was to evaluate the role of CHRNA7 deletion on the in vivo immune cell transcriptional profile. We established primary cultures of bone marrow-derived myeloid cells following differentiation with M-CSF and IL-4, which yields a mix of macrophages and dendritic cells (BMDMs/BMDCs). Single-cell RNA sequencing of bone marrow–derived macrophages and dendritic cells (BMDMs/BMDCs) revealed that CHRNA7 knockout (KO) cells exhibit distinct transcriptional profiles compared to wild-type (WT), including reduced expression of inflammatory and leukocyte migration pathways and increased expression of stress and apoptotic signaling genes. CHRNA7KO cells upregulated hypoxia- and ubiquitination-related genes, while CHRNA7WT cells expressed higher levels of TNFα signaling and immune function markers. These results support a cell-intrinsic role for CHRNA7 in regulating immune gene expression. These results led us to perform further in vivo studies to assess the effect of a specific CHRNA7 agonist, AR-R17779 on immune cell activation, tumor burden, and metastasis.

Control of RelB during dendritic cell activation integrates canonical and non-canonical NFkB pathways

Project description:Dendritic cells (DC) play central roles in coordinating appropriate immune responses to pathogens. In the present study, the genes regulated by NFkB activators, RelB and cRel, in PAMP-induced bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDCs) activation was examined. Total RNA extracted from WT, relb-/-, crel-/-relb-/- bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were subjected to stimulation with CpG or Pam3CSK4.

The effect of STING knockout on gene expression in DMXAA-induced BMDMs and BMDCs

Project description:Myeloid-derived STING has been recognized to play a vital role in mediating the development of colitis. We here report that in BMDMs and BMDCs, knockout of STING inhibited pathways related to IL-12/23 production and IL-12 signaling, inflammation, and the maturation and activation of macrophages and DCs.

Microarray of E. coli-infected bone marrow-derived dendritic cells

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical mediators of host defense against bacteria. The goal of this microarray study was to understand the global transcriptional response of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) upon exposure to live bacteria, to better understand how DCs orchestrate a host-protective immune response. We found that BMDCs upregulate a number of critical immune-related genes upon exposure to live E. coli. Most notably, the gene encoding hepcidin, a critical regulator of mammalian iron homeostasis, was significantly upregulated in BMDCs upon exposure to live bacteria.

Dendritic cell-derived IL-2 promotes apoptosis of terminally mature cells via a novel autocrine signaling pathway

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial for sensing pathogens and triggering immune response. GM-CSF myeloid dendritic cells (GM-DCs) secrete several cytokines including IL-2 upon activation by pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP) ligands. DC IL-2 has been shown to be important for innate and adaptive immune responses, however its importance in DC physiology has never been demonstrated. This is due to ambiguity in expression of the CD122 subunit of the IL-2 trimeric receptor complex crucial for signaling. We show here that autocrine IL-2 signaling is functional in GM-DCs in early time window of stimulation with PAMPs. IL-2 signaling selectively activates the JAK/STAT5 pathway by assembling holo-receptor complexs at the cell surface. Autocrine IL-2 signaling inhibits survival of PAMP matured GM-DCs which is crucial for maintaining immune tolerance and preventing autoimmunity. Our findings suggest immune regulation by a novel autocrine signaling pathway that can potentially be exploited in DC immunotherapy. Microarray technology was used to understand the role of IL-2 signaling in DC. Microarray was performed to investigate the role of IL-2 signaling in DC physiology. Hence Wt or IL-2-/- BMDCs were either treated or not with curdlan for 6h and taken for microarray.

Acetylcholine derived from B lymphocytes controls liver regeneration

Project description:Humans recover from hepatic injury largely by liver regeneration. This complicated process requires hepatocyte proliferation driven by collaboration amongst multiple hepatic cell types. Immune cells also contribute, with some producing mitogenic cytokines such as IL-6 but others damaging hepatocytes by secreting IFNγ. A better understanding of immune cell functions in liver regeneration is necessary to improve clinical interventions. Here, we demonstrate that B cells expressing choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), the enzyme synthesizing acetylcholine (ACh), are specifically required for liver regeneration. Mice lacking ChAT+ B cells subjected to partial hepatectomy (PHX) display greater mortality due to failed liver regeneration. We show that both Kupffer cells and hepatic CD8+ T cells express the α7 nicotinic ACh receptor (nAChR; encoded by Chrna7), and that liver regeneration is also disrupted in mice lacking α7 nAChR. Thus, two regulatory axes promoting hepatocyte proliferation operate following PHX: one where hepatic ChAT+ B cells and α7 nAChR+ Kupffer cells interact to drive IL-6 production by Kupffer cells, and another where ChAT+ B cells and α7 nAChR+ hepatic CD8+ T cells interact to reduce IFNγ production by CD8+ T cells. Our work offers novel insights into liver regeneration mechanisms that may point to new therapies for liver damage.

Proteomic analysis identifies the potential effects of trichostatin A and bone marrow-derived dendritic cells on NIH3T3 cells under oxygen–glucose deprivation conditions

Project description:Fibroblasts usually mediate acute wound healing and long-term tissue remodeling with scarring in tissue injury. In myocardial infarction (MI), following a prolonged lack of oxygen supply, necrotized cardiomyocytes become replaced by secreted extracellular matrix proteins produced by fibroblasts. Dendritic cells (DCs) act as inflammatory cells and can migrate from the bone marrow to the infarct areas and infarct border areas to mediate collagen accumulation after MI, whereas trichostatin A (TSA) can regulate the apoptosis and proliferation of the fibroblasts and affect DCs functions under oxygen–glucose deprivation (OGD) conditions. In this study, we used proteomics to investigate the effects of TSA and bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) on NIH3T3 fibroblasts under OGD conditions. Results showed that the fatty acid degradation pathway was significantly upregulated in NIH3T3 cells under OGD conditions, and the fatty acid synthesis pathway was significantly downregulated in NIH3T3 cells treated with BMDCs conditioned media with TSA (BMDCs-CM[TSA]) under OGD conditions. Meanwhile, the BMDCs-CM(TSA) significantly decreased the levels of triglycerides and free fatty acids and mediated ten fatty acid metabolism-related proteins in the NIH3T3 cells under OGD conditions. Summarily, the proteomic analysis showed that TSA and BMDCs affect fatty acid metabolism in NIH3T3 cells under OGD conditions.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells and tolerogenic dendritic cells are distinctively induced by PI3K and Wnt signaling pathways

Project description:Understanding the molecular mechanisms that initiate and control immunosuppression by myeloid cells is essential to overcoming the myeloid-induced disbalance of the immune system observed in patients. Myeloid cells are implicated in aggravated suppression of immunity as seen in cancer as well as in defective modulation of immune responses as observed in autoimmunity. Therefore, signaling pathways controlling immunomodulation by myeloid cells are an attractive target to potentially restore immune homeostasis and increase clinical benefit for a large number of patients. Here, we used label-free quantitative proteomics to identify proteins that are differentially expressed between different myeloid cells (myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), tolerogenic dendritic cells (TolDCs), monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) and precursor monocytes.
