Myeloid Cell Expressed Proprotein Convertase FURIN Attenuates Inflammation

ABSTRACT: The proprotein convertase enzyme FURIN processes immature pro-proteins into functional end- products. FURIN is upregulated in activated immune cells and it regulates T-cell dependent peripheral tolerance and the Th1/Th2 balance. FURIN also promotes the infectivity of pathogens by activating bacterial toxins and by processing viral proteins. Here, we evaluated the role of FURIN in LysM+ myeloid cells in vivo. Mice with a conditional deletion of FURIN in their myeloid cells (LysMCre-fur(fl/fl)) were healthy and showed unchanged proportions of neutrophils and macrophages. Instead, LysMCre-fur(fl/fl) mice had elevated serum IL-1β levels and reduced numbers of splenocytes. An LPS injection resulted in accelerated mortality, elevated serum pro-inflammatory cytokines and upregulated numbers of pro-inflammatory macrophages. A genome-wide gene expression analysis revealed the overexpression of several pro-inflammatory genes in resting FURIN-deficient macrophages. Moreover, FURIN inhibited Nos2 and promoted the expression of Arg1, which implies that FURIN regulates the M1/M2-type macrophage balance. FURIN was required for the normal production of the bioactive TGF-β1 cytokine, but it inhibited the maturation of the inflammation-provoking TACE and Caspase-1 enzymes. In conclusion, FURIN has an anti-inflammatory function in LysM+ myeloid cells in vivo.

Knockout of the selenocysteine tRNA (Trsp) gene in mouse macrophage

Project description:Comparative analysis of gene expression in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) from trsp knockout mice (Trspfl/fl-LysM-Cre+/-) and Control (Trspfl/fl-LysM-Cre-/-) mice. Selenium, a micronutrient whose deficiency in the diet causes immune dysfunction and inflammatory disorders, exerts its physiological effects partly in the form of selenium-containing proteins (selenoproteins). Incorporation of selenium into the amino acid selenocysteine (Sec), and subsequently into selenoproteins, is mediated by Sec tRNA[Ser]Sec. To identify macrophage-specific selenoprotein function, we generated mice with the Sec tRNA[Ser]Sec gene specifically deleted in myeloid cells. These mutant mice were devoid of the selenoproteome in macrophages, yet exhibited largely normal inflammatory responses. However, selenoprotein deficiency led to aberrant expression of extracellular matrix-related genes, and diminished migration of macrophages in a protein gel matrix. Therefore, selenium status may affect immune defense and tissue homeostasis through its effect on selenoprotein expression and the trafficking of tissue macrophages. We have generated mice in which we have selectively removed the selenocysteine tRNA gene (trsp) in macrophages under the control of LysM-Cre promoter. Microarray analysis was performed on RNA samples taken from bone marrow-derived macrophages in knockout and control mice. 1. Control unstimulated 2. Knockout unstimulated 3. Control lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated (4h) 4. Knockout LPS stimulated (4h). Three replicates for each condition. Thus, a total of 12 samples.

Inactivation of mTORC2 in macrophages is a signature of colorectal cancer that promotes tumorigenesis.

Project description:Gene expression analysis of sorted colon macrophages of Rictor fl/fl LysM+/+ and Rictor fl/fl LysM+/cre mice Dysregulations of immune and metabolic processes can lead to chronic inflammation, which is one of the driving forces for the development of cancer. Macrophages are regulators of these processes and therefore have a fundamental role for the initiation of cancer. Here we find that deletion of Rictor in myeloid cells increases tumor number and size in the colitis-associated colorectal cancer model and leads to a stronger inflammatory response in the underlying acute DSS-colitis model. OPN is shown to be upregulated in the serum of myeloid-specific Rictor-KO mice during the DSS-colitis and the more severe phenotype, characterized by decreased survival, increased weight loss, shorter colons and enhanced infiltration of immune cells into the colon, can be reverted by the neutralization of OPN in these mice. Microarray analysis reveals a change in inflammatory and metabolic gene signatures of Rictor-KO colon macrophages that is also seen in the Rictor-KO BMDM in vitro. Therefore, our data show that myeloid Rictor controls macrophage polarization and the cellular energy metabolism, thereby suppressing colitis and colitis-associated colorectal cancer.

An Unexpected Role for Acetyl Coenzyme A Carboxylase in Metabolic Control of the Macrophage Acute Inflammatory Response

Project description:Macrophages must rapidly shift their cellular metabolism to facilitate the induction of the proinflammatory response, including activation of lipid synthesis pathways. However, the links between lipid metabolism and polarization in response to inflammatory signals remains unclear. Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACC) is central to lipid synthesis, cellular energy utilization, and acetylation-dependent enzyme activation, but its role in macrophages remains unclear. To interrogate the role of ACC in the inflammatory response, we generated myeloid-specific LysMCre Acacafl/fl Acacbfl/fl ACC double knockout (ACCLysM) mice. Unexpectedly, myeloid-specific deletion or pharmacological inhibition of ACC attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in mice, with decreased gene expression and protein levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1. Using in vitro transcriptomics, lipidomics, and bioenergetics approaches we find that ACC deletion reestablishes the metabolic setpoint in macrophages and is required for metabolic rewiring in response to LPS- but not IL-4-dependent signaling. This translated to blunted phenotypic polarization to proinflammatory but not alternatively activating stimuli. Mechanistically, we identified that the metabolic rewiring that results from ACC deletion increased basal acetylation at histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27Ac), a marker of active enhancers, which was reduced in response to LPS in ACC-deficient BMDMs. The failure of macrophages lacking ACC to adapt their glycolytic metabolism and polarize to inflammatory stimuli impaired macrophage proinflammatory effector functions. Taken together these data identify a novel role for ACC in metabolic and transcriptional regulation of the acute inflammatory response.

C/EBPβ deficiency reshapes microglial gene expression

Project description:CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ) is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of important pro-inflammatory genes in microglia. Mice deficient for C/EBPβ show protection against excitotoxic and ischemic CNS damage but the involvement of the various C/EBPβ expressing cell types in this neuroprotective effect is not solved. Since C/EBPβ-deficient microglia show attenuated neurotoxicity in culture we hypothesized that specific C/EBPβ deficiency in microglia could be neuroprotective in vivo. In this study we have tested this hypothesis by generating mice with myeloid C/EBPβ deficiency. Mice with myeloid C/EBPβ deficiency were generated by crossing LysMCre and C/EBPβfl/fl mice . Primary microglial cultures from C/EBPβfl/fl (named here as WT) and LysMCre-C/EBPβfl/fl (named here as KO) mice were treated with lipopolysaccharide ± interferon γ (IFNγ) for 6 h and gene expression was analyzed by RNA sequencing. LysMCre-C/EBPβfl/fl mice showed an efficiency of C/EBPβ deletion of 100% in cultured microglia. Transcriptomic analysis of C/EBPβ-deficient primary microglia revealed C/EBPβ-dependent expression of 1068 genes, significantly enriched in inflammatory and innate immune responses GO terms. This study provides new data that support a central role for C/EBPβ in the biology of activated microglia.

Immune-Responsive Gene 1 expression in myeloid cells prevents neutrophil mediated immunopathology during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection [macrophage]

Project description:Immune-Responsive Gene 1 (Irg1) is a mitochondrial enzyme that produces itaconate under inflammatory conditions principally in cells of myeloid lineage. Cell culture studies suggest that itaconate regulates inflammation through inhibitory effects on cytokine and reactive oxygen species production. To evaluate the functions of Irg1 in vivo, we challenged wild-type (WT) and Irg1-/- mice with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and monitored disease progression. Irg1-/- but not WT mice succumbed rapidly to Mtb, and mortality was associated with increased infection, inflammation, and pathology. Infection of LysM-Cre Irg1fl/fl, MPR8-Cre Irg1fl/fl, and CD11c-Cre Irg1fl/fl conditional knockout mice along with neutrophil depletion experiments revealed a role for Irg1 in alveolar macrophages and LysM+ myeloid cells in preventing neutrophil-mediated immunopathology and disease. RNA-seq analyses suggest that Irg1 and its production of itaconate temper Mtb-induced inflammatory responses in myeloid cells at the transcriptional level. Thus, Irg1 modulates inflammation to curtail Mtb-induced lung disease.

Whole-transcriptome analysis of spleens from WT and myeloid ferritin H-deficient animals upon Salmonella infection

Project description:Iron is an essential nutrient for humans as well as for pathogens. Hence, its correct distribution at the systemic and cellular level is mandatory for mounting an effective innate immune defense. Here we delved into the role of macrophage-expressed iron storing protein ferritin H (FTH) in immune response against the model intracellular pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium. Mice lacking FTH in the myeloid lineage (LysM-Cre+/+ Fthfl/fl) displayed impaired iron storage capacities in tissue leukocyte compartment, increased levels of labile iron in macrophages and an accelerated macrophage-mediated iron turnover. Without iron supplementation, wildtype (WT) and LysM-Cre+/+ Fthfl/fl animals showed comparable susceptibility to Salmonella infection. Interestingly, iron supplementation rapidly elicited symptoms of cytokine storm and drastically shortened survival of LysM-Cre+/+ Fthfl/fl mice. Mechanistically, we traced this phenotype back to labile iron-mediated hyperactivity of the inflammasome in FTH-deficient macrophages, culminating in excessive IL-1β secretion and secondary triggering of NF-kappaB-dependent inflammatory circuits. Accordingly, bacterial burden and cytokine levels in iron-loaded LysM-Cre+/+ Fthfl/fl mice could be effectively kept at bay by pharmacological inflammasome and IL-1β blockade. These findings point towards a previously unrecognized role of ferritin as an inhibitor of iron-dependent inflammasome activity in macrophages and a checkpoint of systemic innate response.
