Molecular mechanism of interaction between IL1B + alveolar resident macrophages and pulmonary endothelial cells in sepsis induced lung injury based on single-cell RNA seq

ABSTRACT: Sepsis is a serious systemic inflammatory reaction, which often leads to acute lung injury, and then affects lung function. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of the interaction between il1b+ alveolar resident macrophages and pulmonary endothelial cells during sepsis induced lung injury using single-cell RNA sequencing technology.

Single-cell RNA-seq of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Immune Cells from Padi2/Padi4 Double Knock-out Mice in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pneumonia-induced Sepsis

Project description:Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is prevalent in septic patients and has a high mortality rate. Considering ALI’s close link to sepsis, we used a Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) pneumonia-induced sepsis mouse model to investigate alveolar microenvironment alterations and lung injury post-sepsis. Peptidyl arginine deiminase (PADI) 2 and PADI4 are highly expressed in immune cells, and play substantial roles in the immune response to sepsis, but their specific functions remain unclear.We employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology to map immune cell populations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cells from Wild type (WT) and Padi2 and Padi4 double knock-out (DKO)mice in PA pneumonia-induced sepsis and sham conditions.

Histone lactylation drives endothelial activation-mediated lung injury in sepsis-associated ARDS via promoting ferroptosis

Project description:The activation of pulmonary endothelial cells (ECs) triggers the occurrence of lung injury and is a hallmark of sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS). Aberrant metabolism favoring glycolysis plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced EC activation. Herein we demonstrate that glycolysis-related histone lactylation, represented by H3K14 lactylation (H3K14la), drives sepsis-associated EC activation and lung injury. Accordingly, H3K14la level is elevated in injured lung tissue and activated ECs. Inhibition of lactate production suppresses both H3K14la levels and EC activation in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We also show that lactate-dependent H3K14la is enriched at the promoters of ferroptosis-related genes, thereby inducing ferroptosis in ECs, and inhibiting ferroptosis effectively ameliorates EC activation. Taken together, elevated lactate in sepsis modulates EC activation and lung injury via histone lactylation and manipulation of glycolysis/H3K14la/ferroptosis axis may provide novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of sepsis-associated ARDS.

Revealing Novel Roles of TLR4 In Macrophage Immunity and Macrophage-Pulmonary Vascular/Lymphatic Endothelial Cell Interactions in Sepsis

Project description:In sepsis, acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe complication and a leading cause of death, involving complex mechanisms that include cellular and molecular interactions between immune and lung parenchymal cells. In recent decades, the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in mediating infection-induced inflammation has been extensively studied. However, how TLR4 facilitates interactions between innate immune cells and lung parenchymal cells in sepsis remains to be fully understood. This study aims to explore the role of TLR4 in regulating macrophage immunity and metabolism in greater depth. It also seeks to reveal how changes in these processes affect the interaction between macrophages and both pulmonary endothelial cells (ECs) and lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs). Using TLR4 knockout mice and the combined approaches of single-cell RNA sequencing and experimental validation, we demonstrate that in sepsis, TLR4-deficient macrophages upregulate Abca1, enhance cholesterol efflux, and reduce glycolysis, promoting M2 polarization and attenuating inflammation. These metabolic and phenotypic shifts significantly affect their interactions with pulmonary ECs and LECs. Mechanistically, we uncovered that TLR4 operates through multiple pathways in endothelial dysfunction: macrophage TLR4 mediates inflammatory damage to ECs/LECs, while endothelial TLR4 both directly sensitizes cells to lipopolysaccharide-induced injury and determines their susceptibility to macrophage-derived inflammatory signals. These findings reveal the complex role of TLR4 in orchestrating both immune-mediated and direct endothelial responses during sepsis-induced ALI, supporting that targeting TLR4 on multiple cell populations may present an effective therapeutic strategy.

H3K14la drives endothelial dysfunction in sepsis-induced ARDS via promoting SLC40A1/TFR-mediated ferroptosis

Project description:Background: Pulmonary endothelial cell (EC) activation is a key factor in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In sepsis, increased glycolysis leads to lactate buildup, which induces lysine lactylation (Kla) on histones and other proteins. However, the role of protein lactylation in EC dysfunction during sepsis-induced ARDS remains unclear. Methods: Integrative lactylome and proteome analysis was performed to identify the global lactylome profiling in lung tissues of septic mice. Cut&Tag analysis were used to identify the transcriptional targets of histone H3 lysine 14 lactylation (H3K14la) in ECs. Results: Septic mice exhibited elevated levels of lactate and H3K14la in lung tissues, particularly in pulmonary ECs. Suppressing glycolysis reduced both H3K14la and EC activation, suggesting a link between glycolysis and lactylation. Moreover, H3K14la was found to be enriched at promoter regions of ferroptosis-related genes such as transferrin receptor (TFRC) and solute carrier family 40 member 1 (SLC40A1), which contributed to EC activation and lung injury under septic conditions. Conclusions: We for the first time reported the role of lactate-dependent H3K14 lactylation in regulating EC ferroptosis to promote vascular dysfunction during sepsis-induced lung injury. Our findings suggest that manipulation of glycolysis/H3K14la/ferroptosis axis may provide novel therapeutic approaches for sepsis-associated ARDS.

Generation of Alveolar Assembloids (AlvAssemb) with Functional Alveolar-like Macrophages

Project description:Within the human lung, interplay between alveolar epithelial cells and resident macrophages shape lung development and function in both health and disease. To study these processes, we devised a strategy for co-culturing hPSC-derived alveolar epithelial organoids and induced macrophages to form functional environment, which we name alveolar assembloids (AlvAssemb). By scRNAseq and functional analysis of AlvAssemb, we identified alveolar type 2-like cells that produced GM-CSF, a response associated with tissue adaptation of macrophages, and that resident alveolar macrophage-like cells secreted interleukin-1β and interleukin-6, a core immune response function, and expressed genes required for surfactant metabolism. Remarkably, in response to alveolar epithelial injury, we found that macrophage-like cells within AlvAssemb efficiently eliminated damaged cells and absorbed oxidized lipids. Moreover, in response to lipopolysaccharide exposure and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, we found that core features of the human respiratory defense response were replicated in AlvAssemb. These findings support that AlvAssemb could serve as a valuable platform to investigate human lung development and pathology.

Ontogeny of alveolar macrophages is a critical determinant of function during lung fibrosis [RNA-seq]

Project description:Little is known about the relative importance of monocyte and tissue-resident macrophages in the development of lung fibrosis. We show that specific genetic deletion of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages after their recruitment to the lung ameliorated lung fibrosis, whereas tissue-resident alveolar macrophages did not contribute to fibrosis. Using transcriptomic profiling of flow-sorted cells, we found that monocyte to alveolar macrophage differentiation unfolds continuously over the course of fibrosis and its resolution. During the fibrotic phase, monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages differ significantly from tissue-resident alveolar macrophages in their expression of profibrotic genes. A population of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages persisted in the lung for one year after the resolution of fibrosis, where they became increasingly similar to tissue-resident alveolar macrophages. Human homologues of profibrotic genes expressed by mouse monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages during fibrosis were up-regulated in human alveolar macrophages from fibrotic compared with normal lungs. Our findings suggest that selectively targeting alveolar macrophage differentiation within the lung may ameliorate fibrosis without the adverse consequences associated with global monocyte or tissue-resident alveolar macrophage depletion.

microRNA regulates alveolar macrophage maintanance and function during pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are important for maintaining lung homeostasis and involved in many lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis. Tissue-resident AMs (TR-AMs) derived from embryonic progenitors can self-renew locally in the steady state independently of hematopoiesis. During fibrogenesis, circulating monocytes rapidly migrate into the lung and become monocyte-derived AMs (Mo-AMs). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding small RNAs that are essential for regulating gene expression and processed by ribonuclease Dicer. However, the role of miRNAs in regulation of TR-AMs and Mo-AMs during pulmonary fibrosis remains poorly understood. Bulk RNA-seq analysis revealed divergent transcriptomic and pathway changes caused by miRNA deficiency in the two AM subgroups after BLM injury. We propose that miRNAs are key epigenetic mediators that differentially regulate TR-AM and Mo-AM maintenance and function in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis.

Gut-derived memory γδ T17 cells exacerbate sepsis-induced acute lung injury [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Sepsis, a worldwide health crisis, is notorious for its high mortality rate, often attributed to the development of acute lung injury. The direct migration of intestinal immune cells to the lung as a mediator of acute lung injury remains unclear. Our study unveiled a process where cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis prompted a migration of γδT cells from the small intestine to the lung, subsequently triggering an overwhelming inflammatory response dominated by IL-17A.
