Project description:While macrophage heterogeneity during Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) has been described, the fate of these macrophages during MASH regression is poorly understood. Comparing macrophage heterogeneity during MASH progression vs regression, we identified specific macrophage sub- populations that are critical for MASH/fibrosis resolution. We elucidated the restorative pathways and gene signatures that define regression associated macrophages (RAM) and establish the importance of TREM2+ macrophages during MASH regression. Liver resident Kupffer cells are lost during MASH and are replaced by four distinct monocyte derived macrophage sub-populations. Trem2 is expressed in two macrophage sub- populations: (i) monocyte-derived macrophages occupying the Kupffer cell niche (MoKC) and (ii) lipid-associated macrophages (LAM). In regression livers, no new transcriptionally distinct MF sub-population emerged. However, the relative macrophage composition changed during regression compared to MASH. While MoKC was the major macrophage sub-population during MASH, they decreased during regression. LAM was the dominant macrophage sub-type during MASH regression and maintained Trem2 expression. Both MoKC and LAM were enriched in disease resolving pathways. Absence of TREM2 restricted the emergence of LAMs and formation of hepatic crown like structures (hCLS). TREM2+ macrophages are functionally important not only for restricting MASH-fibrosis progression, but also for effective regression of inflammation and fibrosis. TREM2+ MF are superior collagen degraders. Lack of TREM2+ macrophages also prevented elimination of hepatic steatosis and inactivation of HSC during regression, indicating their significance in metabolic co-ordination with other cell- types in the liver. TREM2 imparts this protective effect through multifactorial mechanisms, including improved phagocytosis, lipid-handling and collagen degradation.

Project description:Recent studies have highlighted the beneficial effect of resolvin D1 (RvD1), a DHA-derived specialized pro-resolving mediator, on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Our study aims to determine the mechanism by which RvD1 protects against MASH progression. RvD1 was administrated to MASH mice, followed by bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. Primary cells including bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), Kupffer cells, T cells, and primary hepatocytes were isolated to study the effect of RvD1 on inflammation, cell death, and fibrosis regression genes. RvD1 administration improved MASH features including reducing inflammation, cell death, and liver fibrosis. Mechanistically, RvD1 reduced inflammation by suppressing the stat1-cxcl10 signaling pathway in macrophages and prevented cell death by alleviating ER stress-mediated apoptosis in hepatocytes. Moreover, RvD1 induced Mmp2 and decreased Acta2 expression in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), and promoted Mmp9 and Mmp12 expression in macrophages, leading to fibrosis regression in MASH. RvD1 reduced stat1-mediated pro-inflammatory response, mitigated ER stress-induced apoptosis, and promotes MMP-mediated fibrosis regression in MASH. Thus, our study highlights the therapeutic potential of RvD1 for MASH.

Project description:Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is characterized by the injury of steatotic hepatocytes, triggering the release of endogenous danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMP). The nature of the danger signals and their role in engaging the innate immune cells like macrophage remain to be fully delineated. Recent work demonstrated that exposed lipid droplets (LD) serve as a disease-associated danger signal that promotes monocyte infiltration and its maturation into TREM2+ macrophages within the MASH liver. In this study, we explored the nature of LD-mediated danger signaling and its impact on inflammatory signaling in macrophages. We found that efferocytosis of LDs triggers a global transcriptional response and dampens pro-inflammatory signaling in cultured macrophages. LD treatments attenuated proinflammatory signaling and NLRP3 inflammasome activation via mechanisms independent of lipid hydrolysis by macrophages. TREM2 is required for the attenuation of inflammatory response, whereas MS4A7 downregulation contributes to the dampening effects of LD treatments. These results underscore the dual role of LD-mediating danger signaling in MASH liver by promoting monocyte infiltration and TREM2+ macrophage induction and dampening pro-inflammatory response in macrophages.

Project description:Microglia are phagocytic cells that survey the brain and perform neuroprotective functions in response to tissue damage, but their activating receptors are largely unknown. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is a microglial immunoreceptor whose loss-of-function mutations in humans cause presenile dementia, while genetic variants are associated with increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases. In myeloid cells, TREM2 has been involved in the regulation of phagocytosis, cell proliferation and inflammatory responses in vitro. However, it is unknown how TREM2 contributes to microglia function in vivo. Here, we identify a critical role for TREM2 in the activation and function of microglia during cuprizone (CPZ)-induced demyelination. TREM2-deficient (TREM2(-/-)) mice had defective clearance of myelin debris and more axonal pathology, resulting in impaired clinical performances compared to wild-type (WT) mice. TREM2(-/-) microglia proliferated less in areas of demyelination and were less activated, displaying a more resting morphology and decreased expression of the activation markers MHC II and inducible nitric oxide synthase as compared to WT. Mechanistically, gene expression and ultrastructural analysis of microglia suggested a defect in myelin degradation and phagosome processing during CPZ intoxication in TREM2(-/-) microglia. These findings place TREM2 as a key regulator of microglia activation in vivo in response to tissue damage. Two STAGE (6weeks 12 weeks),

Project description:Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell 2 (TREM2) is linked to neurodegenerative disease risk. However, the function of TREM in neurodegeneration is still unclear. Here we investigated the role of microglial TREM2 in TAR-DNA binding protein 43 kDa (TDP-43)-related neurodegeneration using viral-mediated and transgenic mouse models. We found that TREM2 deficiency impaired phagocytic clearance of pathological TDP-43 by microglia, and enhanced neuronal damage and motor impairments. Mass cytometry analysis revealed that hTDP-43 induced a TREM2-dependent subpopulation of microglia with high CD11c expression and phagocytic ability. Using mass spectrometry and surface plasmon resonance analysis, we further demonstrated an interaction between TDP-43 and TREM2 in vitro and in vivo as well as in ALS patient tissues. We computationally identified the region within hTDP-43 that interacts with TREM2. Our data highlights that TDP-43 is a possible ligand for microglial TREM2 and that this interaction mediates neuroprotection effects of microglia in TDP-43-related neurodegeneration.

Project description:Checkpoint immunotherapy unleashes T cell effector functions that control tumor growth, but can be undermined by myeloid cells that induce immunosuppression. TREM2 is a myeloid surface receptor that binds lipids and transmits intracellular signals through protein-tyrosine phosphorylation known to sustain microglial responses during Alzheimer’s disease. Intriguingly, TREM2 expression has recently been noted in tumor-infiltrating macrophages. We found that Trem2–/– mice are more resistant to growth of sarcoma, colorectal and mammary cancer cells than wild-type mice and are more responsive to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. Furthermore, treatment with anti-TREM2 mAb curbed tumor growth and led to complete tumor regression when combined with anti-PD-1. scRNA-seq revealed that both constitutive TREM2 deficiency and anti-TREM2 are associated with relatively scant representation of MRC1+ and CX3CR1+ subsets in the macrophage tumor infiltrate, paralleled by expansion of subsets expressing immunostimulatory molecules. These changes were associated with improved T cell responses. TREM2 expression was evident in tumor macrophages in over 200 human cancer cases examined and inversely correlated with prolonged survival for two types of cancer. Thus, TREM2 is a promising target to modify tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells and effectively augment checkpoint immunotherapy.
