Project description:Neuroinflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurologic and psychiatric disorders. Microglia are key drivers of neuroinflammation and in response to different inflammatory stimuli overexpress a proinflammatory signature of genes. Among these, Ch25h is a gene overexpressed in brain tissue from Alzheimer’s disease as well as various mouse models of neuroinflammation. Ch25h encodes cholesterol 25-hydroxylase, an enzyme that hydroxylates cholesterol to form 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC). 25HC, an immune-oxysterol primarily produced by activated microglia, is further metabolized to 7,25-dihydroxycholesterol, which is a potent chemoattractant for leukocytes. We have also previously shown that 25HC increases production and secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine, IL-1, by mouse microglia treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In the present study, wildtype (WT) and Ch25h-knockout (CKO) mice were peripherally administered LPS to induce an inflammatory state in the brain. In LPS-treated WT mice, Ch25h expression and 25HC levels increased in brain relative to vehicle-treated WT mice. Interestingly, 25HC levels were significantly higher in LPS-treated WT female compared to male mice. Activation of microglia and astrocytes in response to systemic LPS was suppressed in CKO mice relative to WT mice. Proinflammatory cytokine production and intra-parenchymal infiltration of neutrophils strongly correlated with brain 25HC levels and were significantly lower in CKO compared to WT mice. Overall, our results show that 25HC mediates a sex-specific proinflammatory response in the brain characterized by activation of both microglia and astrocytes but also by neutrophil migration into the brain parenchyma presumably due to 7,25-diHC produced from 25HC.

Project description:In CUMS mice, neutrophils can infiltrate brain parenchyma and induce neuroinflammatory responses. To identify potential mediators, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of bone marrow neutrophils from mice subjected to CUMS and compared them with those of control mice. Interestingly, among the genes notably associated with neutrophil functions were Elane and Mpo, the crucial granule proteins of neutrophils that mediate chronic inflammation. Our study demonstrated that neutrophil-specific Elane knockout reduced neutrophil infiltration into the brain parenchyma and alleviated neuroinflammation. Elane plays a critical role in modulating the influence of peripheral neutrophils on brain.

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in addition to neuroinflammation and changes in brain lipid metabolism. Recent findings have demonstrated that microglia are key drivers of neurodegeneration in tauopathy mouse models. A subset of microglia referred to as disease-associated microglia (DAM) display gene signatures signifying changes in proinflammatory signaling and lipid metabolism in mouse models of amyloid and tau pathology. Ch25h is a DAM gene encoding cholesterol 25-hydroxylase that produces 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), a known modulator of inflammation as well as lipid metabolism. However, whether Ch25h influences tau-mediated neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration is unknown. Here, we show that in the absence of Ch25h and 25HC there is strikingly reduced age-dependent neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation in the hippocampus and entorhinal/piriform cortex of PS19 mice which express the P301S mutant human tau transgene. Transcriptomic analyses of bulk hippocampal tissue and single nuclei revealed that Ch25h deficiency in PS19 mice strongly suppressed proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine signaling in microglia and restored sterol synthesis. Our results suggest a key role for Ch25h/25HC in potentiating proinflammatory signaling to promote tau-mediated neurodegeneration. Ch25h may represent a novel therapeutic target for primary tauopathies, AD, and other neuroinflammatory diseases.

Project description:Neuroinflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurologic and psychiatric disorders. Microglia are key drivers of neuroinflammation and, in response to different inflammatory stimuli, overexpress a proinflammatory signature of genes. Among these, Ch25h is a gene overexpressed in brain tissue from Alzheimer's disease as well as various mouse models of neuroinflammation. Ch25h encodes cholesterol 25-hydroxylase, an enzyme upregulated in activated microglia under conditions of neuroinflammation, that hydroxylates cholesterol to form 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC). 25HC can be further metabolized to 7α,25-dihydroxycholesterol, which is a potent chemoattractant of leukocytes. We have previously shown that 25HC increases the production and secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine, IL-1β, by primary mouse microglia treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In the present study, wildtype (WT) and Ch25h-knockout (KO) mice were peripherally administered LPS to induce an inflammatory state in the brain. In LPS-treated WT mice, Ch25h expression and 25HC levels increased in the brain relative to vehicle-treated WT mice. Among LPS-treated WT mice, females produced significantly higher levels of 25HC and showed transcriptomic changes reflecting higher levels of cytokine production and leukocyte migration than WT male mice. However, females were similar to males among LPS-treated KO mice. Ch25h-deficiency coincided with decreased microglial activation in response to systemic LPS. Proinflammatory cytokine production and intra-parenchymal infiltration of leukocytes were significantly lower in KO compared to WT mice. Amounts of IL-1β and IL-6 in the brain strongly correlated with 25HC levels. Our results suggest a proinflammatory role for 25HC in the brain following peripheral administration of LPS.

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a crucial role in allergic diseases by coordinating a complex network of various effector cell lineages involved in type 2 inflammation. However, their function in regulating airway neutrophil infiltration, a deleterious symptom of severe asthma, remains unknown. Here, we observed ILC2-dependent neutrophil accumulation in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of allergic mice models. Chromatography followed by proteomics analysis identified the alarmin high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) in the supernatant of lung ILC2s initiated neutrophil chemotaxis. Genetic perturbation of Hmgb1 in ILC2s reduced BALF neutrophil numbers and alleviated airway inflammation. HMGB1 was loaded onto the membrane of lipid droplets (LDs) released from activated lung ILC2s. Genetic inhibition of LD accumulation in ILC2s significantly decreased extracellular HMGB1 abundance and BALF neutrophil infiltration. These findings unveil a previously uncharacterized extracellular LD-mediated immune signaling delivery pathway by which ILC2s regulate airway neutrophil infiltration during allergic inflammation.

Project description:Excessive neutrophil infiltration can exacerbate inflammation and tissue damage, contributing to conditions like autoimmune disorders and liver diseases. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) share homing mechanisms with neutrophils, showing promise for treating such diseases. However, ex vivo expanded MSCs often suffer from reduced homing efficiency due to the loss of essential ligands. Here, we engineer MSCs with P-selectin and E-selectin targeting peptides, assembling them into bispecific polyvalent structures using DNA self-assembly technology. This modification allows engineered MSCs to compete with chemotactic neutrophils for selectin binding sites on endothelial cells. In a mouse model of acute liver failure, engineered MSCs effectively home to the damaged liver and significantly inhibit excessive neutrophil infiltration. The combination of inhibiting neutrophil infiltration and the MSCs’ inherent therapeutic properties lead to superior therapeutic outcomes. Single cell RNA sequencing reveals that engineered MSCs elevate the levels of Marco_macrophage which possess neutrophil-inhibitory effects. Our study offers a perspective for advancing MSC-based therapies in tissue repair.
