Nrf2 suppresses macrophage inflammatory response by blocking proinflammatory cytokine transcription

ABSTRACT: Nrf2 (NF-E2-related factor-2) transcription factor regulates oxidative/xenobiotic stress response and also represses inflammation. However, the mechanisms how Nrf2 alleviates inflammation are still unclear. Here, we demonstrate that Nrf2 interferes with lipopolysaccharide-induced transcriptional upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-6 and IL-1β. ChIP-seq and ChIP-qPCR analyses revealed that Nrf2 binds to the proximity of these genes in macrophages and inhibits RNA Pol II recruitment. Further, we found that Nrf2-mediated inhibition is independent of the Nrf2 binding motif and reactive oxygen species level. Murine inflammatory models further demonstrated that Nrf2 interferes with IL6 induction and inflammatory phenotypes in vivo. Thus, contrary to the widely accepted view that Nrf2 suppresses inflammation through redox control, we demonstrate here that Nrf2 opposes transcriptional upregulation of proinflammatory cytokine genes. This study identifies Nrf2 as the upstream regulator of cytokine production and establishes a molecular basis for an Nrf2-mediated anti-inflammation approach.

Gene expression in BMDMs obtained from wild-type and Keap1-CKO mice. In Keap1-CKO (Keap1 flox/flox::LysM-Cre) BMDMs, Nrf2 transcription factor is activated due to Keap1-deficiency. BMDMs were obtained by a culture of bone marrow cells in the presence of M-CSF for7 days. M1-activated BMDMs were obtained by stimulation with LPS and IFNg for 6 hours, while M2-activated BMDMs were obtained by a stimulation with IL-4 for 6 hours. Two independent BMDM cultures were performed, and each experiment contains samples obtained from one wild-type and one Keap1-CKO mice, respectively.

IL-33 priming and antigenic stimulation synergistically promote the transcription of proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine genes in human skin mast cells

Project description:Antigenic stimulation through cross-linking the IgE receptor and epithelial cell-derived cytokine IL-33 are potent stimuli of mast cell (MC) activation. Moreover, IL-33 primes a variety of cell types, including MCs to respond more vigorously to external stimuli. However, target genes induced by the combined IL-33 priming and antigenic stimulation have not been investigated in human skin mast cells (HSMCs) in a genome-wide manner. Furthermore, epigenetic changes induced by the combined IL-33 priming and antigenic stimulation have not been evaluated. In this study, we found that IL-33 priming of HSMCs enhanced their capacity to promote transcriptional synergy of the IL1B and CXCL8 genes by 16- and 3-fold, respectively, in response to combined IL-33 and antigen stimulation compared to without IL-33 priming. We identified the target genes in IL-33-primed HSMCs in response to the combined IL-33 and antigenic stimulation using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). We found that the majority of genes synergistically upregulated in the IL-33-primed HSMCs in response to the combined IL-33 and antigenic stimulation were predominantly proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine genes. Moreover, the combined IL-33 priming and antigenic stimulation increase chromatin accessibility in the synergy target genes but not synergistically. Transcription factor binding motif analysis revealed more binding sites for NF-κB, AP-1, GABPA, and RAP1 in the induced or increased chromatin accessible regions of the synergy target genes. Our study demonstrates that IL-33 priming greatly potentiates MCs’ ability to transcribe proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine genes in response to antigenic stimulation, shining light on how epithelial cell-derived cytokine IL-33 can cause exacerbation of skin MC-mediated allergic inflammation.

Differential production of Type I IFN determines the reciprocal levels of IL-10 and proinflammatory cytokines produced by C57BL/6 and BALB/c macrophages

Project description:Pattern recognition receptors (PRR) detect microbial products and induce cytokines which shape the immunological response. Interleukin-12 (IL-12), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-Î±) and IL-1Î² are proinflammatory cytokines which can be essential for resistance against infection, but if produced at high levels, may contribute to immunopathology. In contrast, IL-10 is an immunosuppressive cytokine which dampens proinflammatory responses, but can also lead to defective pathogen clearance. The regulation of these cytokines is therefore central to the generation of an effective but balanced immune response. Here, we show that macrophages derived from C57BL/6 mice produce low levels of IL-12, TNF-Î± and IL-1Î², but high levels of IL-10 in response to TLR4 and TLR2 ligands LPS and PamCSK4, and Burkholderia pseudomallei a Gram-negative bacterium which activates TLR 2/4. In contrast, macrophages derived from BALB/c mice show a reciprocal pattern of cytokine production. Differential production of IL-10 in B. pseudomallei and LPS stimulated C57BL/6 and BALB/c macrophages was due to a type I IFN dependent, but IL-27 independent mechanism. Further, type I IFN contributed to differential IL-1Î² and IL-12 production in B. pseudomallei and LPS stimulated C57BL/6 and BALB/c macrophages, via both IL-10-dependent and independent mechanisms. These findings highlight key pathways responsible for the regulation of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in macrophages and reveal how they may differ according to the genetic background of the host. Total RNA obtained from bone-marrow derived macrophages of C57BL/6 WT, C57BL/6 Ifnar1-/- and BALB/c mice stimulated with heat-killed Burkholderia pseudomallei or media as controls.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of mouse islets exposed to proinflammatory cytokines

Project description:Exposure to proinflammatory cytokines is believed to contribute to pancreatic β-cells during diabetes development. While some cytokine-mediated changes in islet gene expression are known, the heterogeneity of the response is not well-understood. Following 6 hour treatment with interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) alone or together, mouse islets were subjected to single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA (Nos2), antiviral genes, and immune-associated genes were induced in a subset of β-cells in response to both cytokines, while IL-1β alone activated only antiviral genes. Subsets of α- and δ-cells expressed Nos2 and exhibited similar gene expression changes as β-cells, including induction of antiviral genes and repression of identity genes. Finally, cytokine-responsiveness was inversely correlated with expression of genes encoding heat shock proteins. Our findings show that all endocrine cell types respond to cytokines, IL-1β induces the expression of protective genes in β-cells, and cellular stress gene expression is associated with an inhibition in cytokine signaling.

Acute atopic dermatitis and urticaria imprints peripheral monocytes with proinflammatory-prone signature

Project description:Monocytes from patients with type 2 immune disorders exhibited an augmented inflammatory response upon LPS stimulation. RNA-seq analysis demonstrated significant upregulation of inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-12, and IL-1b. Moreover, there was a conspicuous enrichment of signaling pathways associated with inflammation. ATAC sequencing revealed heightened chromatin accessibility in patient monocytes, particularly in the promoter regions of inflammatory genes.

Blimp-1 and c-Maf regulate Il10 and negatively regulate common and unique proinflammatory gene networks in IL-12 plus IL-27-driven T helper-1 cells [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:CD4+ Th1 cells producing IFN-g are required to eradicate intracellular pathogens, however if uncontrolled these cells can mediate immunopathology. The cytokine IL-10 is produced by multiple immune cells including Th1 cells during infection and regulates the immune response to minimise collateral host damage. In this study we aimed to elucidate the transcriptional network of genes controlling the expression of Il10 and proinflammatory cytokines, including Ifng in Th1 cells. We show that the transcription factors Blimp-1 and c-Maf each have unique and common effects on cytokine gene regulation and not only co-operate to induce Il10 gene expression in IL-12 plus IL-27 differentiated Th1 cells, but additionally directly negatively regulate key proinflammatory cytokines including Ifng, thus providing mechanisms for reinforcement of regulated Th1 cell responses.
