Deletion of miR-130b/301b cluster promotes macrophage efferocytosis and resolution of adipose tissue inflammation

ABSTRACT: Macrophage efferocytosis, the clearance of apoptotic cells, is essential for tissue homeostasis and preventing inflammation. Impaired efferocytosis contributes to chronic inflammatory conditions, including obesity. However, its key regulators remain unclear. MicroRNA-130b (miR-130b) is increased in adipose tissue macrophages of individuals with obesity. Here, we found that miR-130b was enriched in bone marrow of mice, and its expression in bone marrow-derived macrophages was suppressed by IL-4 and by apoptotic cell uptake. Deletion of the miR-130b and its cluster member miR-301b enhanced macrophage efferocytosis in vitro and apoptotic cell clearance in vivo, accompanied by increased mitochondrial respiration and anti-inflammatory polarization. In high-fat diet-fed mice, global deletion of miR-130b/301b reduced inflammatory gene expression in adipose tissues. Mechanistically, miR-130b suppressed PPARγ and PGC-1α, regulators of mitochondrial metabolism and inflammation, and miR-130b/301b deletion increased CX3CR1, a receptor for apoptotic cell “find me” signals. Together, miR-130b/301b deletion promotes macrophage efferocytosis and resolves adipose tissue inflammation.

Macrophage-enriched Sectm1a promotes efficient efferocytosis to attenuate ischemia/reperfusion-induced cardiac injury

Project description:Efficient clearance and degradation of apoptotic cardiomyocytes by macrophages (termed efferocytosis) are critical for inflammation resolution and restoration of cardiac function after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Here, we define secreted and transmembrane protein 1a (Sectm1a), a cardiac macrophage-enriched gene, as a modulator of macrophage efferocytosis in I/R hearts. Upon myocardial I/R, Sectm1a-KO mice exhibit impaired macrophage efferocytosis, leading to massive accumulation of apoptotic cardiomyocytes, cardiac inflammation, fibrosis, and consequently, exaggerated cardiac dysfunction. By contrast, therapeutic administration of recombinant SECTM1A protein significantly enhances macrophage efferocytosis and improves cardiac function. Mechanistically, SECTM1A can elicit autocrine effects on the activation of glucocorticoid-induced TNF receptor (GITR) at the surface of macrophages, leading to the upregulation of liver X receptor alpha (LXRα) and its downstream efferocytosis-related genes and lysosomal enzyme genes. Our study suggests that Sectm1a-mediated activation of Gitr/LXRα axis could be a promising approach to enhance macrophage efferocytosis for the treatment of myocardial I/R injury.

Apoptosis recognition receptors regulate skin tissue repair in mice

Project description:Apoptosis and clearance of apoptotic cells via efferocytosis are evolutionarily conserved processes that drive tissue repair. However, the mechanisms by which recognition and clearance of apoptotic cells regulate repair are not fully understood. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing to provide a map of the cellular dynamics during early inflammation in mouse skin wounds. We find that apoptotic pathways and efferocytosis receptors are elevated in fibroblasts and immune cells, including resident Lyve1+ macrophages, during inflammation.

Study of human macrophage reprogramming toward a pro-resolving profile by efferocytosis

Project description:Inﬂammation is a physiopathological process triggered by infection or tissue damage. Immune system initiates coordinated sequential steps in response to these danger signals. Once the threat has been contained inflammation has to be subsequently shut down. Inflammation resolution is initiated by the reprogramming of pro-inflammatory macrophages toward a pro-resolving profile. This reprogramming is induced in particular by the non-phlogistic engulfment of apoptotic cells, mostly apoptotic neutrophils, a process called efferocytosis. As a matter of fact, macrophages are an essential linchpin regulating both inflammation triggering and sustaining and inflammation resolution. This duality can be achieved through the tremendous plasticity of these innate immune cells. Indeed, depending on microenvironmental signals (cytokines, efferocytosis, growth factors…) macrophages can adopt numerous diverse and sometimes antagonistic phenotypes. The mechanisms governing these transitions remain relatively scattered especially in human. With this project we propose to explore the mechanisms involved in human macrophage reprogramming toward a pro-resolving profile after efferocytosis. The stakes are high due to the estimated prevalence of chronic inflammatory diseases in Western society is 5 to 7%. Chronic inflammation is a burden to patient due to life-long debilitating illness and increased mortality and is also a burden to society due to high costs for therapy and care. Finding new therapies to limit chronic inflammation establishment and persistence is thus a highly valuable goal.

Transcriptional analysis of efferocytosis in mouse skin wounds

Project description:Defects in apoptotic cell clearance, or efferocytosis, can cause inflammatory diseases and prevent tissue repair due in part, to a key role of efferocytosis in inducing a pro-repair transcriptional program in phagocytic cells like macrophages. While the cellular machinery and metabolic pathways involved in efferocytosis have been characterized, the precise efferocytic response of macrophages is dependent on the identity and macromolecular cues of apoptotic cells, and the complex tissue microenvironment in which efferocytosis occurs. Here, we find that macrophages undergoing active efferocytosis in mid-stage mouse skin wounds in vivo display a pro-repair gene program, while efferocytosis of apoptotic skin fibroblasts in vitro induces an immature/inflammatory transcription response. These data provide a resource for understanding how the skin wound niche influences macrophage efferocytosis and will be useful for future investigations that define the role of efferocytosis during tissue repair

Pro-efferocytic nanotherapies reduce vascular inflammation without inducing anemia in a large animal model of atherosclerosis

Project description:Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disorder responsible for cardiovascular disease. Reactivation of efferocytosis, the phagocytic removal of cells by macrophages, has emerged as a translational target for atherosclerosis. Systemic blockade of the key ‘don’t-eat-me’ molecule, CD47, triggers the engulfment of apoptotic vascular tissue and potently reduces plaque burden. However, it also induces red blood cell clearance, leading to anemia. To overcome this, we previously developed a macrophage-specific nanotherapy loaded with a chemical inhibitor that promotes efferocytosis. Because it was found to be safe and effective in murine studies, we aimed to advance our nanoparticle into a porcine model of atherosclerosis. Here, we demonstrate that production can be scaled without impairing nanoparticle function. At an early stage of disease, we find our nanotherapy reduces apoptotic cell accumulation and inflammation in the atherosclerotic lesion. Notably, this therapy does not induce anemia, highlighting the translational potential of targeted macrophage checkpoint inhibitors.

Non-canonical glutamine transamination sustains efferocytosis by coupling redox buffering to oxidative phosphorylation

Project description:Macrophages rely on tightly integrated metabolic rewiring to clear dying neighboring cells by efferocytosis during homeostasis and disease. Here, we reveal that glutaminase (GLS) 1-mediated glutaminolysis is critical to promote apoptotic cell clearance by macrophages during homeostasis in mice. In addition, impaired macrophage glutaminolysis exacerbates atherosclerosis, a condition during which efficient apoptotic cell debris clearance is critical to limit disease progression. Gls1 expression strongly correlates with atherosclerotic plaque necrosis in patients with cardiovascular diseases. High-throughput transcriptional and metabolic profiling revealed that macrophage efferocytic capacity relies on a non-canonical transaminase pathway, independent from the traditional requirement of glutamate dehydrogenase (GLUD1) to fuel ɑ-ketogulatrate-dependent immunometabolism. This pathway is necessary to meet the unique requirements of efferocytosis for cellular detoxification and high energy cytoskeletal rearrangements. Thus, we uncovered a novel role for non-canonical glutamine metabolism for efficient clearance of dying cells and maintenance of tissue homeostasis during health and disease in mouse and humans

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.

Dissecting long non-coding RNAs derived from microRNA genes in hematopoiesis (Illumina short-read sequencing)

Project description:Genome-wide transcription produces a complex population of transcripts and a wide variety of functional lncRNAs occasionally evolve from them. Here, we identify and characterize miRNA gene originated lncRNAs (molncRNAs) by employing Pacific Biosciences long-read sequencing. Combining with RNA-sequencing in differentiating hematopoietic erythrocytes, we construct a global molncRNA landscape during human erythropoiesis. Among them, miR-301b and miR-130b originated lncRNA, molnc-301b, orchestrates erythropoiesis independent of miRNAs. Mechanistically, molnc-301b attenuates the transcription of a series of erythropoietic and translation-associated genes by antagonizing SMARCA5's chromatin binding. Furthermore, molnc-301b perturbs translation of key erythroid mRNAs selectively, as GATA1 and FOS. Our findings identify a novel class of lncRNA and reveal the essential role of molnc-301b in erythroid differentiation. Of note, molnc-301b orchestrates erythropoiesis via jointly controlling the transcription and translation of key erythroid regulators. In addition, we finally establish functional molncRNA screen platform by using large-scale pooled CRISPR-based single-cell RNA-seq, and uncover 36 functional molncRNAs in erythrocytes. These results thus unearth a previously unannotated class of lncRNAs and provide a useful platform for the discovery and functional study of molncRNAs.

Intercepting IRE1 Kinase-FMRP Signaling Prevents Atherosclerosis Progression

Project description:Fragile X Mental Retardation protein (FMRP), widely known for its role in hereditary intellectual disability, is an RNA-binding protein (RBP) that controls translation of select mRNAs. We discovered that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induces phosphorylation of FMRP on a site that is known to enhance translation inhibition of FMRP-bound mRNAs. We show ER stress-induced activation of Inositol requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1), an ER-resident stress-sensing kinase/endoribonuclease, leads to FMRP phosphorylation and to suppression of macrophage cholesterol efflux and apoptotic cell clearance (efferocytosis). Conversely, FMRP-deficiency and pharmacological inhibition of IRE1 kinase activity enhances cholesterol efflux and efferocytosis, reducing atherosclerosis in mice. Our results provide mechanistic insights into how ER stress-induced IRE1 kinase activity contributes to macrophage cholesterol homeostasis and suggest IRE1 inhibition as a promising new way to counteract atherosclerosis.

Dissecting long non-coding RNAs derived from microRNA genes in hematopoiesis (scRNA sequencing)

Project description:Albeit majority of eukaryotic genome can be pervasively transcribed to a diverse population of lncRNAs and various subtypes of lncRNA have been discovered. However, the genome-wide study of miRNA-derived lncRNAs is still lacking. Here, we report that over 800 miRNA gene-originated lncRNAs (molncRNAs) generated from miRNA loci. One of them, molnc-301b from miR-301b and miR-130b, functions as an "RNA decoy" to facilitate dissociation of the chromatin remodeling protein SMARCA5 from chromatin and thereby sequester transcription and mRNA translation. Specifically, molnc-301b attenuates erythropoiesis via mitigating the transcription of erythropoietic and translation-associated genes, such as GATA1 and FOS. In addition, we have established a useful and powerful CRISPR screen platform to characterize the biological functions of molncRNAs at large-scale and single-cell level, and identified 26 functional molncRNAs in hematopoietic cells. Collectively, we focused on miRNA-derived lncRNAs, deciphered their landscape during normal hematopoiesis, and comprehensively evaluated their potential roles.
