Colony stimulating factor-1 receptor signaling networks inhibit macrophage inflammatory responses by induction of microRNA-21

ABSTRACT: Macrophage polarization between the M2 (repair, pro-tumorigenic) and M1 (inflammatory) phenotypes is seen as a continuum of states. The detailed transcriptional events and signals downstream of CSF-1R that contribute to amplification of the M2 phenotype and suppression of the M1 phenotype are largely unknown. Macrophage CSF-1R pTyr-721 signaling promotes cell motility and enhancement of tumor cell invasion in vitro. Combining analysis of cellular systems for CSF-1R gain-of-function and loss-of-function with bioinformatic analysis of the macrophage CSF-1R pTyr-721-regulated transcriptome, we uncovered miR-21 as a downstream molecular switch controlling macrophage activation and identified ERK1/2 and NF-κB as CSF-1R pTyr-721-regulated signaling nodes. We show that CSF-1R pTyr-721 signaling suppresses the proinflammatory phenotype, predominantly by induction of miR-21. Profiling of the miR-21-regulated mRNAs revealed that 80% of the CSF-1-regulated canonical miR-21 targets are pro-inflammatory molecules. Additionally, miR-21 positively regulates M2 marker expression. Moreover, miR-21 feeds back to positively regulate its own expression and to limit CSF-1R-mediated activation of ERK1/2 and NF-κB. Consistent with an anti-inflammatory role of miRNA-21, intraperitoneal injection of mice with a miRNA-21 inhibitor increases the recruitment of inflammatory monocytes and enhances the peritoneal monocyte/macrophage response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). These results identify the macrophage miR-21 network as a novel target for controlling macrophage polarization.

M-bM-^@M-^C These results identify the macrophage miR-21 network as a novel target for controlling macrophage polarization. We performed microarray-based analysis on four mouse macrophage cell lines, two CSF-1R pTyr-721-expressing cell lines (M-/-.WT and M-/-.3ABY721) and two CSF-1R Tyr-721-deficient lines (M-/-.Y721F and M-/-.3AB). Total RNA (two biological replicates) was extracted from CSF-1-starved cells (UR) or from cells constitutively grown in CSF-1 (CONST). Additionally, CSF-1-starved M-/-.WT and M-/-.Y721F cell lines were stimulated with CSF-1 for 0min, 20 min, 60 min and 180 min and used for total RNA extraction. Total RNA preparations with Ribosomal Integrity Numbers (RIN) > 9.5 were used for microarray analysis. A total of 100 ug/cell line/replicate was used for gene expresion analysis on the Affymetrix Mouse Gene ST1.0 chips at the Genomics Core at Einstein, according to manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. Differential expression analysis was performed using the M-bM-^@M-^XlimmaM-bM-^@M-^Y package of R/Bioconductor to identify significantly differentially expressed mRNAs over time, in response to CSF-1 treatment and to the genotype. CSF1-regulated genes were identified according to the cutoff with both expression folder change > 1.5 and p-value < 0.05.

Project description:Recent studies suggest the presence of both âclassically activatedâ M1 and âalternatively activatedâ M2 macrophages in human atherosclerotic tissue, yet due to the lack of validated markers the reported localization patterns of these macrophage phenotypes within plaques are ambiguous. In the present study, we searched for markers that indisputably can identify differentiated M1 and M2 macrophages independently of stimuli that affect the activation status of the two subpopulations. We used these validated markers to assess the presence of M1 and M2 macrophages in different zones of human carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques obtained from 12 patients. Using microarray and qPCR technology we show that the frequently used macrophage subpopulation markers MCP-1 and CD206 do not discriminate between M1 and M2 macrophages. However, we confirm the subtype specificity of the classical M2 marker CD163 and we report that the genes INHBA and DSP (both M1) and SEPP1 and MARCKS (both M2) are highly suitable for macrophage phenotyping. mRNA expression of the pan-macrophage marker CD68 in the shoulder zones of the plaques and in adjacent tissue segments correlated positively with mRNA expression levels of SEPP1, MARCKS and CD163 (r=0.86, 0.94 and 0.96, and r= 0.86, 0.98 and 0.69, respectively) but not with the expression of the M1 markers DSP and INHBA. In contrast, mRNA expression of CD68 in the core of the plaques correlated positively with expression of DSP and INHBA (r=0.73 and 0.49) but not with SEPP1, MARCKS and CD163. These findings suggest that M1 macrophages predominate in the core of human carotid atherosclerotic plaques while M2 macrophages prevail at the periphery of the plaque. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Monocytes from healthy volunteers were differentiated into M1 and M2 macrophages by incubation with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), respectively. After 5 days cells were exposed to oxidized LDL. Total RNA was isolated and subjected to gene expression profiling.
