CpG content determines tissue-resident macrophage enhancer selection

ABSTRACT: Tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) acquire specialized identities through transcription factor (TF) networks operating in distinct chromatin environments. Early growth response 2 (EGR2) contributes both to alveolar macrophage (AM) identity and to interleukin (IL)-4-driven polarization of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), yet the regulatory principles enabling its function across these contexts remain unclear. By integrating RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data from wild-type and Egr2-deficient macrophages, we show that macrophage identity is constrained by DNA methylation-dependent cis-regulatory landscapes. AM-specific enhancers are predominantly CpG-rich and hypomethylated, a feature shared with additional TRM populations, whereas BMDM-accessible regulatory regions are largely CpG-poor. Although IL-4 induces EGR2 together with KLF4 and DEC1 in BMDMs, this TF module fails to engage CpG-rich enhancers, indicating that the BMDM regulatory network lacks additional AM-specific components required for their activation. These findings identify CpG content as a determinant of enhancer competence and provide a mechanistic explanation for the context-dependent activity of EGR2 in macrophages, placing macrophage plasticity under the control of sequence-encoded epigenetic constraints.

Proteomics characterisation of the L929 cell supernatant and its role in BMDM differentiation

Project description:Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) are a key model system for studying macrophage biology in vitro. Commonly used methods to differentiate macrophages from bone marrow are treatment with either recombinant M-CSF or the supernatant of L929 cells, which secrete M-CSF. However, little is known about the composition of L929 conditioned media (CM) and how it affects BMDM phenotype. Here, we used quantitative mass spectrometry to characterise the kinetics of protein secretion from L929 cells over a two-week period. While M-CSF is very abundant in L929 CM, we identified several other immune-regulatory proteins at surprisingly high abundance. L929 CM induced a slightly pre-activated phenotype and the expression of a number of known innate immune proteins in macrophages. This resource will be valuable to all researchers using L929 CM for the differentiation of BMDMs.

Candida albicans infection suppresses Lipopolysaccharide or Pseudomonas aeruginosa stimulated murine bone marrow derived macrophage (BMDM) responses

Project description:Candida albicans is a commensal fungi which populates most healthy individuals’ microflora, but can turn opportunistic in immunocompromised individuals. This opportunistic pathogen can cause severe disease and is linked with high rates of mortality. With limited therapeutic options and increasing resistance to antifungals, novel treatment strategies for C. albicans infections is paramount. Macrophages are a key immune cell which mount an immediate response to C. albicans infection. Macrophages physically sequester C. albicans through phagocytosis, trapping the pathogen in a harsh environment. Additionally, macrophages mount a signalling response, alerting other immune cells to the site of infection for quick removal. Here we utilise a discovery screen approach using DIA based total proteomics to describe murine bone marrow derived macrophage (BMDM) response to C. albicans infection as well as in response to co-infection with gram-negative bacterial plasma membrane component lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or live gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We found C. albicans induced a surprisingly muted response in BMDMs compared to LPS or P. aeruginosa. Despite small measurable activation of BMDMs on single infection, upon co-infection with LPS or P. aeruginosa, C. albicans significantly suppressed BMDM proteome landscape. Additionally, C. albicans selectively suppressed BMDM secreted IL-6 and IL-12p40 cytokine response to P. aeruginosa. Thus, we describe C. albicans significant suppressive capabilities in host innate immune responses.

The genetic basis for differential macrophage activation

Project description:Differential macrophage activation mediate genetic differences to a variety of inflammatory pathologies. We wanted to elucidate the transcriptional and regulatory programs regulating differential macrophage activation in genetically diverse mouse strains. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from AJ and C57BL/6j mice were left unstimulated, stimulated with IFN/TNF, or IL-4, or CpG, or LPS or IFN/TNF and infected with a type II (Pru A7) strain of Toxoplasma gondii, or infected with Pru A7 and gene expression analyzed 18 hrs later.

Gene expression of Bone marrow-derived macrophages isolated in ERR-alpha knock-out mice

Project description:We investigated the molecular mechanisms by which ERRM-NM-1 negatively regulates TLR-signaling pathways. To examine this, we performed global gene expression analysis of ERRM-NM-1+/+ and ERRM-NM-1-/- BMDMs after LPS stimulation. Microarray analysis revealed that several genes encoding various TLR-negative regulators were downregulated in LPS-stimulated ERRM-NM-1-/- BMDMs, when compared with ERRM-NM-1+/+ BMDMs Bone marrow-derived macrophages were isolated in 6~8 week old male C57BL6 mice and then divided into 4 groups 1) Solvent control-treated ERRM-NM-1+/+ BMDM 2) LPS-treated ERRM-NM-1+/+ BMDM 3) Solvent control-treated ERRM-NM-1-/- BMDM 4) LPS-treated ERRM-NM-1-/- BMDM

Mass spectrometry-based proteomic exploration of diverse murine macrophage cellular models

Project description:Immortalised cell lines analogous to their primary cell counterparts are fundamental to research, particularly when large cell numbers are required. Here we report that immortalisation of bone marrow-derived macrophages using the J2-virus resulted in the loss of a protein of interest, MSR1, in wild-type cells by an unknown mechanism. This led us to perform an in-depth mass spectrometry-based proteomic characterisation of common murine macrophage cell lines (J774A.1, RAW264.7, and BMA3.1A7), with comparison to the immortalised bone marrow-derived macrophages (iBMDMs), as well as primary BMDMs. This revealed striking differences in protein profiles associated with macrophage polarisation, phagocytosis, pathogen recognition, and IFN signalling. J774A.1 cells were determined to be the most similar to the gold standard primary BMDM model, with BMA3.1A7 cells the least similar due to the reduction in abundance of several proteins related closely to macrophage function. This comprehensive proteomic data offers valuable insights into the selection of specific macrophage cell lines for cell signalling and inflammation research.

The transcription factor EGR2 is the molecular linchpin connecting STAT6 activation to the stable epigenomic program of alternative macrophage polarization

Project description:Macrophages polarize into functionally distinct subtypes while responding to microenvironmental cues. The identity of proximal transcription factors (TFs) downstream of the polarization signals are known, but their activity is typically transient, failing to explain the long-term, stable epigenomic programs developed. Here, we mapped the early and late epigenomic changes of interleukin-4 (IL-4)-induced alternative macrophage polarization. We identified the TF, Early Growth Response 2 (EGR2), bridging the early-transient and late-stable gene expression program of polarization. EGR2 is a direct target of IL-4-activated STAT6, having broad action indispensable for 77% of the induced gene signature of alternative polarization, including its autoregulation and a robust, downstream TF cascade involving PPARG. Mechanistically, EGR2 binding results in chromatin opening and the recruitment of chromatin remodelers and RNA-polymerase II. Egr2 induction is evolutionarily conserved during alternative polarization of mouse and human macrophages. In the context of tissue resident macrophages, Egr2 expression is most prominent in the lung of a variety of species. Thus, EGR2 is an example of an essential and evolutionarily conserved broad acting factor, linking transient polarization signals to stable epigenomic and transcriptional changes in macrophages.

Microarray expression profiling of male and female bone marrow derived macrophages from wild type and lysMCre/Irf2bp2flox mice

Project description:Interferon regulatory factor 2 binding protein 2 (Irf2bp2) is a corepressor of Irf2 that suppresses inflammatory gene expression and promotes the M2 macrophage phenotype in bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM). Loss of Irf2bp2 in male macrophages promotes an inflammatory phenotype. Here, we compared the expression profile of female BMDM to their male counterparts to identify genes differentially affected by the loss of Irf2bp2 by sex in primary macrophages cultured under basal conditions.

Utilizing engineered endosymbionts to modulate primary macrophage function and attenuate tumor growth by shifting the tumor microenvironment

Project description:Modulating gene expression in macrophages can be used to improve tissue regeneration and redirect tumor microenvironments (TME) toward positive therapeutic outcomes. We have developed Bacillus subtilis as an engineered endosymbiont (EES) that resides in the host cell cytoplasm and controls the fates of macrophages. Secretion of mammalian transcription factors (TFs) from B. subtilis that expresses listeriolysin O (LLO; allowing the EES to escape destruction by the macrophage) modulated expression of surface markers, cytokines and chemokines indicating functional changes in a macrophage/monocyte cell line. The engineered B. subtilis LLO TF strains were evaluated in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) by flow cytometry, chemokine/cytokine profiling, metabolic assays and RNA-Seq. Secretion of TFs by the EES shifted BMDM gene expression, production of cytokine and chemokines and metabolic patterns indicating that the TF strains could guide primary macrophage function. Therefore, the ability of the TF strains to alter the TME was characterized in vivo, in a murine 4T1 orthotopic breast cancer model to assess therapeutic effects. The TF strains altered the TME by shifting immune cell composition and attenuating tumor growth. Additionally, multiple doses of the TF strains were well tolerated by the mice. The use of B. subtilis LLO TF strains as EES showed promise as a unique therapeutic approach for cancer immunotherapy. The uses of EES could be expanded to modulate other mammalian cells over a range of biomedical applications.

Expression profiles of M2-polarized bone marrow-derived macrophage from wild type mouse [BMDM_RNA-seq]

Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to evaluate the gene expression of M2-polarized bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) compared with M0-BMDMs from wild type (WT) mouse. Methods: BMDMs were obtained from WT mice and polarized toward M2-BMDMs using IL-4 and M-CSF. M0-BMDMs were maintained in culture with M-CSF only. Total RNA of M2- and M0-BMDMs was extracted. BMDM RNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing for two groups (M2- versus M0-BMDM) with three mouse samples each. Results: There were significant differences between M2- and M0-BMDMs. Conclusions: Polarization of BMDMs from M0 to M2 induces various changes at the transcription level.
