Activation and Function of Alternatively and Classically Activated MH-S Alveolar Macrophages

ABSTRACT: Alveolar macrophages (AMs), the tissue dwelling monocytes of the lungs, are the first to encounter the menagerie of items that pass the mechanical barriers of the nose and throat. AMs must be able to mount an effective immune response against invading pathogens as well as maintain homeostasis in the lungs to avoid excessive inflammatory responses. In vivo data suggests that AMs can take on different phenotypes depending on the conditions of simulation. Limited progress has been made in defining the mechanisms responsible for these phenotypic issues largely due to logistical difficulties in isolating a sufficient number of cells from the lungs that have not been activated by the isolation protocol. To circumvent these logistical issues, an in vitro cell culture model was developed to study AM biology with specific emphasis on the generation of alternatively activated alveolar macrophages (AAAMs). Utilizing the BALB/c AM cell line MH-S it was determined that LPS could be used to generate classically activated AMs (CAAMs) and that IL-4 was effective in producing AAAMs. We examined the full transcriptome of AAAMs and CAAMs using microarray technology in an attempt to confirm previously described AAAM expression patterns and to identify new molecules associated with AM phenotypic change. AAAMs up-regulated an entirely distinct group of transcripts including genes encoding Arg1, Ym1 and a number of repair and remodeling genes whereas CAAMs up-regulated proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6 and IL-12. Additional novel markers are identified in this study to better characterize CAAMs and AAAMs in the lung. Keywords: Characterization of Cell Type Based on Activation Stimulus

Transcription repressor Bach2 is required for pulmonary surfactant homeostasis and alveolar macrophage function.

Project description:Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) results from a dysfunction of alveolar macrophages (AMs), chiefly due to disruptions in the signaling of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). We found that mice deficient for the B lymphoid transcription repressor BTB and CNC homology 2 (Bach2) developed PAP-like accumulation of surfactant proteins in the lungs. Bach2 was expressed in AMs, and Bach2-deficient AMs showed alterations in lipid handling in comparison with wild-type (WT) cells. Although Bach2-deficient AMs showed a normal expression of the genes involved in the GM-CSF signaling, they showed an altered expression of the genes involved in chemotaxis, lipid metabolism, and alternative M2 macrophage activation with increased expression of Ym1 and arginase-1, and the M2 regulator Irf4. Peritoneal Bach2-deficient macrophages showed increased Ym1 expression when stimulated with interleukin-4. More eosinophils were present in the lung and peritoneal cavity of Bach2-deficient mice compared with WT mice. The PAP-like lesions in Bach2-deficient mice were relieved by WT bone marrow transplantation even after their development, confirming the hematopoietic origin of the lesions. These results indicate that Bach2 is required for the functional maturation of AMs and pulmonary homeostasis, independently of the GM-CSF signaling. WT (n=8) and Bach2KO (n=3) AMs. One expreriment was performed.

Bach2 keeps homeostasis in lung by regulating inflammatory response and maintaining function of alveolar macrophage.

Project description:Alveolar macrophages (AMs) of Bach2 KO mice show multiple alternations in their functions including lipid metabolism. We aimed to clarify the mechanism whereby deficiency of Bach2 impairs the function of AMs and ruins the homeostasis of lungs. Now we report that some cytokines produced from Bach2-deficient T cells alter the character of AMs and expression of Bach2 is necessary for AMs to maintain the function of lipid metabolism.

SAGE analysis of alveolar macrophages from metastatic lung and untreated lung

Project description:Macrophages in lungs can be classified into two subpopulations, alveolar macrophages (AMs) and interstitial macrophages (IMs), which reside in the alveolar and interstitial spaces, respectively. Accumulating evidence indicates the involvement of IMs in lung metastasis but the roles of AMs in lung metastasis still remain elusive. An intravenous injection of a mouse hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line, BNL, caused lung metastasis foci with infiltration of AMs and IMs. Comprehensive determination of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolite levels revealed increases in leukotrienes (LTs) and prostaglandins in lungs in this metastasis model. A 5-lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitor but not a cyclooxygenase inhibitor reduced the numbers of metastatic foci, particularly those with larger sizes. A major 5-LOX metabolite, LTB4, augmented in vitro cell proliferation of human HCC cell lines as well as BNL cells. Moreover, in this lung metastasis course, AMs exhibited higher expression levels of the 5-LOX and LTB4 than IMs. Consistently, 5-LOX-expressing AMs increased in the lungs of human HCC patients with lung metastasis, compared with those without lung metastasis. Furthermore, intratracheal clodronate liposome injection selectively depleted AMs but not IMs, together with reduced LTB4 content and metastatic foci numbers in this lung metastasis process. Finally, IMs in mouse metastatic foci produced CCL2, thereby recruiting blood-borne, CCR2-expressing AMs into lungs. Thus, AMs can be recruited under the guidance of IM-derived CCL2 into metastatic lungs and can eventually contribute to the progression of lung metastasis by providing a potent AA-derived tumor growth promoting mediator, LTB4.

Bach2 keeps homeostasis in lung by regulating inflammatory response and maintaining function of alveolar macrophage [array]

Project description:Tissue resident macrophages show their specific function to maintain homeostasis in our body. Dysfunction of alveolar macrophages (AMs), which regulate the proper amount of surfactant protein, leads to the development of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). Here we found that inflammation ruins the function of AMs and is one of the causes of secondary PAP. Inflammation leads to the loss of specific gene expression pattern of AMs and furthermore, it leads to gain the specific gene expression pattern of other tissue resident macrophages and DC lineage. We also found the critical roles for Bach2 expressed in AMs and T cells, whose expression is induced by IFNg released from T cells. Bach2 bounds to super-enhancer regions of the inflammatory genes of the myeloid lineage and represses excess inflammation in lungs. Our results suggest that Bach2 function among several cell lineages to modify the inflammation, maintaining homeostasis in lungs.

Identification and characterization of alveolar and recruited lung macrophages during acute lung inflammation

Project description:To precisely identify mice resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) and bone marrow (BM)-derived macrophages, we developed a technique to separately label AMs and BM-derived macrophages with a fluorescent lipophilic dye followed by fluorescent-associated cell sorting (FACS). We utilized this approach to isolate BM-derived macrophages and AMs at different timepoints after intratracheal (IT) instillation of E.coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and performed bulk RNAseq on these cell populations to characterize the individual phenotypes of resident AMs and BM-derived macrophages present in the lungs.

Single cell RNA sequencing reveals mechanisms underlying a senescence-like phenotype of Alveolar Macrophages during Aging

Project description:Alveolar Macrophages (AMs) are unique innate immune cells that reside in the alveolar space and accommodate the ever-changing needs of the lungs against internal and external challenges. During homeostasis, AMs maintain themselves through self-renewal without input from adult hematopoietic stem cells. Currently, little is known regarding the influence of aging on AM dynamics, heterogeneity and transcriptional profiles. Here, we identified CBFβ as an indispensable transcription factor that ensures AM self-renewal. Deficiency in CBFβ led to decreased proliferation and self-renewal ability of AMs. Moreover, with single cell RNA sequencing analysis of AMs from young and aged mice, we discovered that despite similarities in the transcriptome of proliferating cells, AMs from the aged mice exhibited reduced embryotic stem cell-like features. Aged AMs also showed diminished capacity for DNA repair, potentially contributing to impaired cell cycle progression and elevation of senescence markers. In accordance with the analysis, we observed reduced number of AMs in aged mice, which had defective self-renewal ability and were more sensitive to the reduction of GM-CSF. Interestingly, decreased CBFβ was observed in the cytosol of AMs from aged mice. A similar senescence-like phenotype was also found in human AMs. Taken together, we conclude that AMs in the aged host harbor a senescence-like phenotype, potentially mediated by the activity of CBFβ.

A genetic screen in fetal liver-derived alveolar-like macrophages (FLAMs) identifies new regulators of Siglec-F surface expression

Project description:Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are tissue resident cells in the lungs derived from the fetal liver that maintain lung homeostasis and respond to inhaled stimuli. While the importance of AMs is undisputed, they remain refractory to standard experimental approaches and high-throughput functional genetics as they are challenging to isolate and rapidly lose AM properties in standard culture. This limitation hinders our understanding of key regulatory mechanisms that control AM maintenance and function. Here, we describe the development of a new model, fetal liver-derived alveolar-like macrophages (FLAMs), which maintains cellular morphologies, expression profiles, and functional mechanisms similar to murine AMs. FLAMs combine treatment with two key cytokines for AM maintenance, GM-CSF and TGFβ. We leveraged the long-term stability of FLAMs to develop functional genetic tools using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing. Targeted editing confirmed the role of AM-specific gene Marco and the IL-1 receptor Il1r1 in modulating the AM response to crystalline silica. Furthermore, a genome-wide knockout library using FLAMs identified novel genes required for surface expression of the AM marker Siglec-F, most notably those related to the peroxisome. Taken together, our results suggest that FLAMs are a stable, self-replicating model of AM function that enables previously impossible global genetic approaches to define the underlying mechanisms of AM maintenance and function.

RNA-seq of mouse alveolar macrophages sorted from CD11cCre/+ Tgfbr2fl/fl and control Tgfbr2fl/fl neonatal mice

Project description:Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are lung resident phagocytes. They derive from fetal liver monocytes, which colonize the lung during embryonic development and give rise to fully mature AMs perinatally. We have identified TGF- signaling as an indispensible regulator during this process. To analyze the impact of TGF- on the entire transcriptome of AMs, we performed RNA-seq on AMs deficient of Tgfbr2 in CD11cCre/+ Tgfbr2fl/fl mice at P3 with Tgfbr2fl/fl littermates as a control.
