Alox15 restrains glycolysis to support M2 macrophage effector function during helminth immunity.

ABSTRACT: Macrophage polarization by type-2 cytokines is central to anti-helminth immunity and tissue repair. While some hallmark changes in macrophages are well-characterized and associated with protection against helminths, it is still unclear how macrophages exert their anti-helminth effects. In this context, we investigated Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (Alox15), a lipoxygenase well known for its role in macrophage polarization in the context of metabolic diseases, and a hallmark of type-2 macrophage (M2) human polarization. We show that in the absence of Alox15, M2 cannot trap and kill helminths. Surprisingly, expression of M2 markers was normal despite a loss of function. Instead, we found a concomitant increase in pro-inflammatory responses due to an uncontrolled activation of glycolysis. We further show that activation of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-delta (PPAR-δ) by lipids downstream of Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) can restore normal glycolysis control, highlighting a novel role of lipids in the fine-tuning of the metabolic support required for optimal macrophage polarization.

The JMJD3-IRF4 axis regulates M2 macrophage polarization and host responses against helminth infection

Project description:Polarization of macrophages to M1 or M2 cells is important for mounting responses against bacterial and helminth infection respectively. Jumonji domain containing 3 (JMJD3), a histone 3 K27 demethylase, has been implicated in the activation of macrophages. Here we show that JMJD3 is essential for M2 macrophage polarization to helminth infection and chitin, though JMJD3 is dispensable for M1 responses. Furthermore, Jmjd3 is critical for proper bone marrow macrophage differentiation in a demethylase activity-dependent manner. Jmjd3 deficiency affected trimethylation of H3K27 in only a limited numbers of genes. Among them, we identified Irf4 as the target transcription factor critical for controlling M2 macrophage polarization. Collectively, these results show that JMJD3-mediated H3K27 demethylation is critical for regulating M2 macrophage development leading to anti-helminth host responses. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Proteomic signature of environmental oxygen tension modulation of human macrophage polarization and functions

Project description:Macrophages are innate immune cells characterized by their plasticity and their ability to react to various environmental stimuli. These cells are involved in a multiple number of tissular functions in homeostasis and pathological contexts. According to their environment these cells could be polarized toward different states of activation which determine their functional orientation. A large part of the macrophage biology field is devoted to better define what polarizations are, from a molecular point of view. It is now accepted that a multidimensional model of polarization is needed to grasp the broad phenotype repertoire depending on various environmental signals. Oxygen tension is one of these tissular environmental parameters. We designed this study to obtain a proteomic signature of various polarizations in human monocytes derived macrophages. We also seek to explore how environmental oxygen tension varying from an atmospheric composition (18.6% O2) to a “tissular normoxia” (3% O2) could modify our classification of macrophages’ polarization. We have obtained various polarization specific proteins and oxygen sensors for human macrophages. One example is arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15) which is a IL4/IL13 polarization specific proteins up regulated under low oxygen exposure associated to an increase of the phagocytosis rate of apoptotic cells. These results illustrate the necessity to take into account physicochemical parameters like oxygen when macrophage polarization is studied to correctly assess their functions in tissues.

Differential lipid partitioning between adipocytes and tissue macrophages modulates macrophage lipotoxicity and M2/M1 polarization in obese mice.

Project description:Obesity-associated insulin resistance is characterized by a state of chronic, low-grade inflammation that is associated with the accumulation of M1 proinflammatory macrophages in adipose tissue. Although different evidence explains the mechanisms linking the expansion of adipose tissue and adipose tissue macrophage (ATM) polarization, in the current study we investigated the concept of lipid-induced toxicity as the pathogenic link that could explain the trigger of this response. We addressed this question using isolated ATMs and adipocytes from genetic and diet-induced murine models of obesity. Through transcriptomic and lipidomic analysis, we created a model integrating transcript and lipid species networks simultaneously occurring in adipocytes and ATMs and their reversibility by thiazolidinedione treatment. We show that polarization of ATMs is associated with lipid accumulation and the consequent formation of foam cell–like cells in adipose tissue. Our study reveals that early stages of adipose tissue expansion are characterized by M2-polarized ATMs and that progressive lipid accumulation within ATMs heralds the M1 polarization, a macrophage phenotype associated with severe obesity and insulin resistance. Furthermore, rosiglitazone treatment, which promotes redistribution of lipids toward adipocytes and extends the M2 ATM polarization state, prevents the lipid alterations associated with M1 ATM polarization. Our data indicate that the M1 ATM polarization in obesity might be a macrophage-specific manifestation of a more general lipotoxic pathogenic mechanism. This indicates that strategies to optimize fat deposition and repartitioning toward adipocytes might improve insulin sensitivity by preventing ATM lipotoxicity and M1 polarization. 15 samples; 2 genotypes and 2 time points

UPF1-dependent glycolysis driven by LINC00887 facilitates macrophage M2 polarization in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), a frequent urinary system tumor, is known for its poor patient outcomes. Here, we demonstrate that LINC00887 overexpression in ccRCC drives M2 macrophage polarization via aerobic glycolysis activation and lactate accumulation. Mechanistically, LINC00887 interacted with UPF1, leading to reduced UPF1 levels. UPF1, which is low in ccRCC, restrained cell vitality, proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell cycle progression in ccRCC cells, and stimulated apoptosis. Additionally, UPF1 was found to be negatively correlated with aerobic glycolysis in ccRCC, repressing glycolytic activity and M2 macrophage polarization while bolstering the tumor-killing potential of CD8+ T cells. By combining bioinformatics with experimental data from ccRCC single-cell RNA sequencing, we've demonstrated that reduced UPF1 expression can reprogram glycolytic metabolism, leading to an improved immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

Expression data from macrophage maturation and polarization c-Myc in alternative macrophage activation experiments

Project description:In response to microenvironmental signals macrophages undergo different activation, indicated as classic/M1 and alternative/M2 polarization. C-Myc transcription factor could be an essential player in M2 polarization. Functional relevance of c-Myc in M2 macrophage biology is investigated by evaluating the effect of 100-58F4, on the transcriptional profile induced on human macrophages by IL-4. Human monocytes were obtained from normal donor buffy coats by two-step gradient centrifugation using Ficoll (Biochrom) and Percoll (Amersham). Non-adherent cells were discarded, and the purified monocytes were incubated for 7 days in RPMI 1640 (Biochom) supplemented with 10% FCS (HyClone) and 100 ng/mL M-CSF to obtain resting macrophages. Macrophage polarization was obtained by removing the culture medium and culturing cells in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FCS and 100 ng/mL LPS plus 20 ng/mL IFN-gamma (M1 polarization) or 20 ng/mL IL-4 (M2 polarization) for 24 h. When needed, chemical inhibitors were added with IL-4.

Identification of pharmacologic inhibitors and activators of IL-4-induced macrophage polarization [PBMC RNA-seq]

Project description:Macrophages polarize towards different subpopulations with distinct and partly antagonistic functions in various diseases. IFNγ/LPS-polarized M1-type macrophages can have antiangiogenic activity, whereas IL-4-induced M2-type macrophages can be proangiogenic and profibrotic. Therapeutic strategies to inhibit M2-type polarization while promoting M1-type polarization could serve to inhibit pathological angiogenesis and fibrosis. Here, by combining global quantitative time-course proteomics and phosphoproteomics with a small-molecule inhibitor screen we identify signaling events that promote specifically IL-4-induced and not IFNγ/LPS-induced macrophage polarization and found that the MEK inhibitor trametinib and the HDAC inhibitor panobinostat potently prevent M2-type macrophage polarization without inhibiting M1-type polarization. In contrast, selective B-Raf inhibition promotes M2-type polarization. Trametinib and panobinostat also blocked M2-type macrophage polarization and concomitantly angiogenesis and fibrosis in models of wound healing and neovascular age-related macular degeneration in vivo. Thus, these pharmacologic inhibitors could be utilized therapeutically to selectively block IL4-induced macrophage polarization and reduce pathologic angiogenesis and fibrosis.
