Project description:Innate immune memory is a new important area of research. However, innate immune memory at the major mucosal sites remains poorly understood. Here we show that respiratory viral infection induces long-lasting memory alveolar macrophages (AM). Memory AM are programed to express high MHC II, carry a defense-ready gene signature, and produce, upon re-stimulation, neutrophil chemokines. Using a multitude of approaches, we reveal that the priming, but not maintenance, of memory AM requires the help from effector CD8 T cells. T cells jump-start this process in AM via IFN-γ production. We further find that formation/maintenance of memory AM are independent of monocytes or bone marrow progenitors. Finally, we demonstrate that memory AM are poised for robust trained immunity against bacterial infection in the lung via rapid induction of chemokines and neutrophilia. Our study thus establishes a new paradigm of immunological memory formation whereby adaptive T-lymphocytes render innate memory of mucosal-associated macrophages.

Project description:Environmental microbial triggers shape the development and functionality of the immune system. Alveolar macrophages (AMs), tissue-resident macrophages of the lungs, are in constant and direct contact with inhaled particles and microbes. Such exposures likely impact AM reactivity to subsequent challenges by immunological imprinting mechanisms referred to as trained immunity. Here, we investigated whether a ubiquitous microbial compound has the potential to induce AM training in vivo. We discovered that intranasal exposure to ambient amounts of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced a pronounced AM memory response, characterized by enhanced reactivity upon pneumococcal challenge. Exploring the mechanistic basis of AM training, we identified a critical role of type 1 interferon signaling and found that inhibition of fatty acid oxidation and glutaminolysis significantly attenuated the training effect. Notably, adoptive transfer of trained AMs resulted in increased bacterial loads and tissue damage upon subsequent pneumococcal infection. In contrast, intranasal pre-exposure to LPS promoted bacterial clearance, highlighting the complexity of stimulus-induced immune responses, which likely involve multiple cell types and may depend on the local immunological and metabolic environment. Collectively, our findings demonstrate the profound impact of ambient microbial exposure on pulmonary immune memory and reveal tissue-specific features of trained immunity.

Project description:Respiratory viral infections reprogram pulmonary macrophages with altered anti-infectious functions. However, the potential function of virus-trained macrophages in antitumor immunity in the lung, a preferential target of both primary and metastatic malignancies, is not well understood. Using mouse models of influenza and lung metastatic tumors, we show here that influenza trains respiratory mucosal-resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) to exert long-lasting and tissue-specific antitumor immunity. Trained AMs infiltrate tumor lesions and have enhanced phagocytic and tumor cell cytotoxic functions, which are associated with epigenetic, transcriptional and metabolic resistance to tumor-induced immune suppression. Generation of antitumor trained immunity in AMs is dependent on interferon-γ and natural killer cells. Notably, human AMs with trained immunity traits in non-small cell lung cancer tissue are associated with a favorable immune microenvironment. These data reveal a function for trained resident macrophages in pulmonary mucosal antitumor immune surveillance. Induction of trained immunity in tissue-resident macrophages might thereby be a potential antitumor strategy.

Project description:Recent studies suggest that training of innate immune cells such as tissue-resident macrophages by repeated noxious stimuli can heighten host defense responses. However, it remains unclear whether trained immunity of tissue-resident macrophages also comprises enhanced injury resolution capacity to counterbalance the heightened inflammatory responses. Here, we studied lung-resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) pre-challenged with either the bacterial endotoxin or with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and observed that these trained AMs showed greater resilience to pathogen-induced cell death. Transcriptomic analysis, and functional assays showed greater capacity of trained AMs to efferocytosis of cellular- debris, and facilitate injury resolution. Single-cell high-dimensional mass-cytometry analysis and lineage tracing demonstrated that training induces an expansion of a MERTKhiMarcohiCD163+F4/80low lung-resident AMs subset with pro-resolving phenotypes. Training epigenetically reprogrammed AMs to express a higher level of the transcription factor KLF4 which in turn upregulates the efferocytosis receptor MERTK. Adoptive transfer of these trained AMs restricted inflammatory lung injury in recipient mice exposed to lethal Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Thus, our study has identified a unique subset of tissue-resident trained macrophages which prevent hyper-inflammation and restore tissue homeostasis following pathogen challenge.

Here, we investigated whether a ubiquitous microbial compound has the potential to induce AM training in vivo. We showed that intranasal exposure to ambient amounts of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) protected mice from bacterial pneumonia six days later and discovered a pronounced AM memory response, characterized by enhanced reactivity upon pneumococcal challenge. Exploring the mechanistic basis of AM training, we identified a critical role of type 1 interferon signaling and found that trained AMs displayed a substantially modulated metabolite and lipid composition. Inhibition of fatty acid oxidation and glutaminolysis significantly attenuated the training effect, suggesting a key function of metabolic rewiring in LPS-induced AM memory. Collectively, our findings demonstrate the profound impact of ambient microbial exposure on pulmonary immune memory and highlight tissue-specific features of trained immunity.
