Immature low-density neutrophils exhibit metabolic flexibility that facilitates breast cancer liver metastasis

Project description:Neutrophils play a key role in the control of metastatic progression. Neutrophils are phenotypically heterogeneous and can exert either anti- or pro-metastatic functions. Here, we demonstrate that tumor cells capable of forming liver metastases induce an accumulation of neutrophils in the peripheral blood and liver parenchyma. Cancer cell-derived G-CSF, in concert with other factors, mobilizes immature low-density neutrophils that promote liver metastasis. In contrast, mature high-density neutrophils inhibit the formation of liver metastases. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of high- and low- density neutrophils reveal engagement of numerous metabolic pathways specifically in low-density neutrophils. Low-density neutrophils exhibit enhanced global bioenergetic capacity, through their ability to engage mitochondrial-dependent ATP production, and remain capable of executing pro-metastatic neutrophil functions, including NETosis, under nutrient-deprived conditions. Together, these data reveal that distinct pro-metastatic neutrophil populations exhibit a high degree of metabolic flexibility, which facilitates metastatic progression and the formation of liver metastases.

Metabolic flexibility and expression of CD98 define the low density neutrophils mobilised in response to G-CSF

Project description:Low density neutrophils (LDN) co-purify with mononuclear cells during density-gradient separation of peripheral blood. LDN are rarely detected in healthy individuals but appear in the peripheral blood (PB) of patients with inflammatory diseases, malignancies and in individuals treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Using human G-CSF mobilized LDN, this study reveals that LDN are transcriptionally, proteomically and metabolically distinct from other neutrophils. Single Cell RNAseq analysis reveals that LDN from these donors comprise one major population, with multiple interrelated transcriptional states, representing the continuum of neutrophil maturation. LDN can engage both glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration to meet energy demands, which affords increased metabolically flexibility in the nutrient perturbed tissue environments found in tumours and inflammatory diseases. This study also identifies upregulated expression of CD98, a transporter for branch chain and aromatic amino acids, as a cell surface marker for LDN in peripheral blood. CD98 may contribute to the functional properties of LDNs and represents a useful phenotypic marker.

Dexamethasone modulates immature neutrophils and interferon programming in severe COVID-19

Project description:While critical for host defense, innate immune cells are also pathologic drivers of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Innate immune dynamics during COVID-19 ARDS, compared to ARDS from other respiratory pathogens, is unclear. Moreover, mechanisms underlying beneficial effects of dexamethasone during severe COVID-19 remain elusive. Using scRNA-seq and plasma proteomics, we discovered that compared to bacterial ARDS, COVID-19 was associated with expansion of distinct neutrophil states characterized by interferon (IFN) and prostaglandin (PG) signalling. Dexamethasone during severe COVID-19 depleted circulating neutrophils, altered IFNactive neutrophils, downregulated interferon-stimulated gene, and activated IL1R2+ve neutrophils. Dexamethasone also expanded immunosuppressive immature neutrophils and remodeled cellular interactions by changing neutrophils from information receivers into information providers. Male patients had higher proportions of IFNactive neutrophils, preferential steroid-induced immature neutrophil expansion, and possibly different effects on outcome. Our single-cell atlas (www.biernaskielab.ca/COVID_neutrophil) defines COVID-19-enriched neutrophil states and molecular mechanisms of dexamethasone action to develop targeted immunotherapies for severe COVID-19.

Staphylococcus aureus drives expansion of low-density neutrophils in diabetic mice

Project description:Diabetes is associated with an increase in neutrophil NET production. Low density neutrophils (LDNs) have a greater propensity for spontaneous production of NETs, and are increased in the diabetic host during infection with S. aureus. We compared gene expression between high density (HDN) and LDNs isolated from the blood of infected db/db mice.

Neutrophil extracellular trap induction by alcohol generates unique low-density neutrophils with defective functions and impaired clearance contributing to liver damage in alcoholic hepatitis

Project description:Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is characterized by severe liver and systemic inflammation and high mortality. Although numerous studies correlated neutrophil counts with poor clinical outcomes, the role of neutrophils in AH is poorly understood. Here, we report that neutrophils contribute to liver damage through increased neutrophils extracellular traps (NET) production in AH patients and mouse models with a concordant significant increase of low-density neutrophils (LDNs) in AH patients. Transcriptome analysis revealed that high-density neutrophils (HDNs) are activated and more prone to release NET, whereas LDNs exhibit exhausted phenotype. We show that alcohol-induced NET release in HDNs induces a unique LDN subset with decreased functionality and reduced clearance. Elimination of both defective HDNs and LDNs through in vivo neutrophil depletion or prevention of NET production with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment ameliorate alcohol-induced liver damage. Our findings uncover alcohol-induced neutrophil phenotypic changes and provide mechanistic insights for therapeutic interventions in AH.

S. aureus drives expansion of low density neutrophils in the diabetic host

Project description:Abstract S. aureus is a major opportunistic pathogen infecting patients with diabetes. Increased mortality was observed following IV S. aureus infection in diabetic mice compared to non-diabetic controls, correlating with increased numbers of low density neutrophils (LDNs) and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). LDN development is dependent on TGFβ, which was more activated in the diabetic host. Neutralization of TGFβ, or the integrin responsible for its activation α5β8, reduced numbers of LDNs and improved survival. Comparison of high and low density neutrophils identified PTEN signaling as a central regulator of LDN NET release. Inhibition of PTEN improved survival and decreased NET production in infected diabetic mice. MEDI4893*, a monoclonal antibody that neutralizes alpha toxin (AT) in development for prevention of S. aureus infection, was able to block TGFβ activation, reduce LDNs and NETs, and significantly improve survival. Our data identify a population of neutrophils in infected diabetic mice which correlated with decreased survival and increased NET production. Targeting a single virulence factor of S. aureus prevented emergence of the LDN population and improved survival, supporting potential use of pathogen specific antibodies for treating diabetic infections.
