Proteomics of THP-1 macrophages polarization to M1 and M2 phenotype and treated with BB-Cl-amidine

ABSTRACT: Macrophages are effector cells of the innate immune system and undergo phenotypical changes in response to organ injury and repair. They are most often classified as proinflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages. Protein arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes, that catalyze the conversion of protein-bound arginine into citrulline, an irreversible posttranslational modification, are expressed in macrophages. However, the substrate scope of the PADs and their role in the immune cells remain not well defined. This study aims to investigate the role of PADs in the THP-1 macrophage polarization to M1 and M2 phenotype and identify the citrullinated proteins, and the modified Arg that are associated with this biological switch using mass spectrometry. Our study showed that PAD2, and to a lesser extent PAD1 and PAD4 were dominantly expressed in M1 macrophages. We showed that inhibiting PADs by BB-Cl-amidine decreased the macrophage’s polarization to M1 and increased to M2 phenotype. The process was mediated by the downregulation of proteins involved in NF-kβ pathway. Silencing of PAD2 confirmed activation to M2 macrophages through upregulation of the antiviral innate immune response and interferon signaling. 192 novel citrullination sites that belong to inflammation, cell death and DNA/RNA processing pathways were identified in M1 and M2 macrophages.

Project description:Inflammation is the natural defensive response of the immune system to an injury or infection and is regulated by small molecule mediators triggering different phases of the inflammatory process. In particular, lipid mediators (LM) and cytokines exhibit crucial regulatory functions in the progression and resolution of inflammation. Macrophages play a central role in this process and can adopt distinct phenotypes with specialized functions depending on their microenvironment: inflammatory M1 macrophages drive inflammation by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and LMs, like prostaglandins (PG) and leukotrienes (LT), while resolving M2 macrophages promote inflammation resolution and tissue regeneration by production of anti-inflammatory cytokines and specialized pro resolving mediators (SPM). Aging is associated with chronic and unresolved, low-grade inflammation (“inflammaging”) and aging-related dysfunction of macrophages in the resolution of inflammation and tissue maintenance has been reported. Yet, the underlying molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of latter processes remain poorly understood. Here, we show that polarization of peritoneal macrophages (PM) from geriatric mice towards an M2-like phenotype is impaired versus adult mice, resulting in aberrant LM formation and cytokine release. In PMs isolated from adult mice (PM-A) we observed a shift in LM formation from PGs and LTs to SPMs already after 4 h of polarization towards M2 with interleukin (IL) 4. In contrast, PMs from geriatric mice (PM-G) produced mainly LTs and PGs upon polarization. This pattern persists over the course of 48 h of polarization. Proteomic profiling revealed that polarization of PM A towards M2 yields a more distinct phenotype, clearly separated from M1, when compared to PM-G. We observed similar aging-related changes in the lipidome and cytokine profile of spleen, lung and liver tissue from mice. Hence, we hypothesize that during aging macrophage polarization towards M2 is impaired, which in turn drives chronic inflammation and disturbs tissue maintenance. By combining state-of-the art lipidomic and proteomic profiling we aim to uncover new molecular targets for pharmaceutical interventions to improve therapeutic strategies for elderly patients with chronic inflammatory diseases.

Project description:Background: When exposed to specific stimuli, macrophages exhibit distinct activation programs, M1 and M2 polarization, that define macrophage function as inflammatory/immune effectors or anti-inflammatory/tissue remodeling cells, respectively. Due to their position on the lung epithelial surface, alveolar macrophages (AM) directly interact with environmental stimuli such as cigarette smoke, the major risk factor for the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Based on the current paradigm that, in response to smoking, AM contribute to both inflammatory and tissue remodeling processes in the lung relevant to the pathogenesis of COPD, we hypothesized that chronic exposure to cigarette smoking activates both the M1 and M2 polarization programs in AM. Methods and Findings: To assess this hypothesis, global transcriptional profiling with TaqMan confirmation and flow cytometry analysis was carried out on AM obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage of 24 healthy nonsmokers, 34 healthy smokers and 12 smokers with COPD to assess the expression of 41 M1 genes and 32 M2 genes in each group. Contrary to our expectations, while there was up-regulation of some genes typical for M2-related phenotypes, AM of healthy smokers exhibited substantial suppression of M1-related inflammatory/immune genes. These M1- and M2-related changes progressed with the development of smoking-induced lung disease, with AM of smokers with COPD exhibiting further down-regulation of M1-related genes accompanied with further up-regulation of some M2-related genes. Conclusion: The data demonstrates that the modifications of the AM transcriptome associated with smoking result in a unique phenotype characterized by reprogramming of AM towards M1-deactivated partially M2-polarized macrophages and suggests that, while AM likely contribute to smoking-induced tissue remodeling, the role of AM in the early pathogenesis of smoking-induced COPD in humans is not inflammatory. This concept is a departure from the conventional concept that AM-mediated inflammation participates in the early derangements of the lung induced by smoking, and suggests a novel paradigm for conceptualizing COPD and developing new approaches to prevent the development of smoking-induced lung disease.
