Two MicroRNAs and NF-kB Act in a Unique Regulatory Network to Ensure Precision of the Acute Inflammatory Response in Macrophages

ABSTRACT: The innate inflammatory response must be tightly regulated to ensure effective immune protection while avoiding inflammation-related pathologies. The transcription factor NF-kB is a critical mediator of the inflammatory response, and its dysregulation has been associated with immune related malignancies. We herein show that miR-155, miR-146a and NF-kB form a regulatory network that tunes the macrophage inflammatory response in mice. We show that elevated miR-155 expression potentiates NF-kB activity in miR-146a deficient mice, thus leading to an overactive acute inflammatory response and chronic inflammation. Enforced miR-155 expression overrides miR-146a-mediated repression of NF-kB activation, thus emphasizing that miR-155 plays a dominant, downstream role in promoting inflammation. We further show that miR-155 deficient macrophages exhibit a suboptimal inflammatory response when exposed to low levels of inflammatory stimuli. Importantly, we demonstrate a temporal asymmetry between miR-155 and miR-146a expression during macrophage activation, which forms a combined positive and negative feedback network on NF-kB activity. This miRNA based regulatory network enables a robust and time-limited inflammatory response essential for functional immunity.

Morphine induced sepsis is mediated by abrogation of endotoxin tolerance through modulation of miR-146a, but not miR-155.

Project description:Endotoxin/LPS tolerance is a tightly regulated phenomenon, which, during infection, prevents systemic hyper-inflammation. Here we report for the first time that morphine reversal of endotoxin tolerance resulting in persistent inflammation thus contributing to septicemia and septic shock. We further report that this regulation is mediated by LPS-induced down-regulation of microRNAs 146a and 155. However, only over-expression of miR-146a, but not miR-155 abrogates morphine mediated hyper-inflammation, while antagonizing miR-146a (but not miR-155) augments morphine mediated hyper-inflammation. Hence, miR-146a could be the potential therapeutic target for morphine-mediated abrogation of endotoxin tolerance.

Over-expression of miR-146a in basal-like breast cancer cells confers enhanced tumorigenic potential in association with altered p53 status

Project description:The tumor suppressor p53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancers, mutated in 25-30% of breast cancers. However, mutation rates differ according to breast cancer subtype, being more prevalent in aggressive estrogen receptor (ER) negative tumors, basal-like and HER2 amplified subtypes. This heterogeneity suggests that p53 may function differently across breast cancer subtypes. We used RNAi-mediated p53 knockdown (KD) and antagomir-mediated KD of microRNAs to study how gene expression and cellular response to p53 loss differ in luminal vs. basal-like breast cancer. As expected, p53 loss caused down regulation of established p53 targets (e.g. p21 and miR-34 family) and increased proliferation in both luminal and basal-like cell lines. However, some p53-dependent changes were subtype-specific, including expression of miR-134, miR-146a, and miR-181b. To study the cellular response to miR-146a upregulation in p53-impaired basal-like lines, antagomir knockdown of miR-146a was performed. KD of miR-146a caused decreased proliferation and increased apoptosis, effectively ablating the effects of p53 loss. Furthermore, we found that miR-146a upregulation decreased NF-kB expression and downregulated the NF-kB-dependent extrinsic apoptotic pathway (including TNF, FADD, and TRADD) and antagomir-mediated miR-146a KD restored expression of these components, suggesting a plausible mechanism for miR-146a-dependent cellular responses. These findings are relevant to human basal-like tumor progression in vivo, since miR-146a is highly expressed in p53-mutant basal-like breast cancers. These findings suggest that targeting miR-146a expression may have value for altering the aggressiveness of p53 mutant basal-like tumors. reference x sample

Altered microRNA expression links IL6 and TNF-induced inflammaging with myeloid malignancy [miR146aKO_LSK_WGBS]

Project description:Aging is associated with significant changes in the hematopoietic system, including increased inflammation, impaired hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function, and increased incidence of myeloid malignancy. Inflammation of aging (“inflammaging”) has been proposed as a driver of age-related changes in HSC function and myeloid malignancy, but mechanisms linking these phenomena remain poorly defined. Here, we identify loss of miR-146a as driving aging-associated inflammation in AML patients. miR-146a expression declined in old wild-type mice, and loss of miR-146a promoted premature HSC aging and inflammation in young miR-146a-null mice, preceding development of aging-associated myeloid malignancy. Using single-cell assays of HSC quiescence, stemness, differentiation potential, and epigenetic state to probe HSC function and population structure, we found that loss of miR-146a depleted a subpopulation of primitive, quiescent HSCs. DNA methylation and transcriptome profiling implicated NF-κB, IL6, and TNF as potential drivers of HSC dysfunction, activating an inflammatory signaling relay promoting IL6 and TNF secretion from mature miR-146a-/- myeloid and lymphoid cells. Reducing inflammation by targeting Il6 or Tnf was sufficient to restore single-cell measures of miR-146a-/- HSC function and subpopulation structure, and reduced the incidence of hematological malignancy in miR 146a-/- mice. miR-146a-/- HSCs exhibited enhanced sensitivity to IL6 stimulation, indicating that loss of miR-146a affects HSC function via both cell-extrinsic inflammatory signals and increased cell-intrinsic sensitivity to inflammation. Thus, loss of miR 146a regulates cell-extrinsic and -intrinsic mechanisms linking HSC inflammaging to the development of myeloid malignancy.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of CD45+ splenocytes from aged WT, miR146a knockout, and miR146a-miR155 T cell conditional double knockout mice

Project description:Chronic age-dependent inflammation, or inflammaging, is a risk-factor for many disorders that emerge in aging human populations. Mechanisms underlying these aberrant immune responses are complex and remain to be elucidated. Among recently appreciated regulators of inflammaging are microRNAs; one example of which is the anti-inflammatory miR-146a, where deficient mice succumb to life-shortening chronic inflammation. In this study, we found that deletion of miR-155 in T cells significantly extends the lifespan of miR-146a-/- mice. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry we found that miR-155 promotes the activation of effector T cell populations, including Tfh cells, in mice aged over 15 months. This correlated with miR-155 dependent increases in germinal center B cells, autoantibody responses and serum IgG targeting tissue antigens throughout the body. Mechanistically, we found that the aerobic glycolysis genes are elevated in T cells during aging, and to even greater levels in the absence of miR-146a, and this was reduced upon deleting miR-155 in T cells. Finally, through deletion of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) complex in T cells, which skews metabolism towards aerobic glycolysis, we demonstrate that several of the age-dependent, activation phenotypes of miR-146a-/- T cells were recapitulated, thus revealing the sufficiency of metabolic reprogramming to influence immune cell functions during aging. Altogether, these data indicate that miRNAs play pivotal roles in regulating lifespan through T cell mediated inflammaging.

Control of the inflammatory macrophage transcriptional signature by miR-155

Project description:Classically activated (M1) macrophages protect from infection but can cause inflammatory disease and tissue damage while alternatively activated (M2) macrophages reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair. Modulation of macrophage phenotype may be therapeutically beneficial and requires further understanding of the molecular programs that control macrophage differentiation. A potential mechanism by which macrophages differentiate may be through microRNA (miRNA), which bind to messenger RNA and post-transcriptionally modify gene expression, cell phenotype and function. The inflammation-associated miRNA, miR-155, was rapidly up-regulated over 100-fold in M1, but not M2, macrophages. Inflammatory M1 genes and proteins iNOS, IL-1b and TNF-a were reduced up to 72% in miR-155 knockout mouse macrophages, but miR-155 deficiency did not affect expression of genes associated with M2 macrophages (e.g., Arginase-1). Additionally, a miR-155 oligonucleotide inhibitor efficiently suppressed iNOS and TNF-a gene expression in wild-type M1 macrophages. Comparative transcriptional profiling of unactivated (M0) and M1 macrophages derived from wild-type and miR-155 knockout (KO) mice revealed an M1 signature of approximately 1300 genes, half of which were dependent on miR-155. Real-Time PCR of independent datasets validated miR-155's contribution to induction of iNOS, IL-1b, TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-12, as well as suppression of miR-155 targets Inpp5d, Tspan14, Ptprj and Mafb. Overall, these data indicate that miR-155 plays an essential role in driving the differentiation and effector potential of inflammatory M1 macrophages. Total RNA was prepared from bone marrow-derived macrophages of miR-155 knockout mice (n=2 independent mice) treated in M0, M1 or M2 conditions (n=2 replicates per condition originating from different mice)

A molecular network regulating the pro-inflammatory phenotype of human memory T lymphocytes (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms that modulate T helper lymphocyte functions is crucial to decipher normal and pathogenic immune responses in humans. To identify molecular determinants influencing the pathogenicity of T cells, we separated ex vivo-isolated primary human memory T lymphocytes based on their ability to produce high levels of inflammatory cytokines. We found that the inflammatory, cytokine-producing phenotype of memory T lymphocytes was defined by a specific core gene signature and was mechanistically regulated by the constitutive activation of the NF-kB pathway and by the expression of the transcriptional repressor BHLHE40. BHLHE40 attenuated the expression of anti-inflammatory factors, including miR-146a, a negative regulator of NF-kB activation, and ZC3H12D, an RNase of the Regnase-1 family able to degrade inflammatory transcripts. Our data reveal a molecular network regulating the pro-inflammatory phenotype of human memory T lymphocytes, with the potential to contribute to disease.
