Abstract
Background : With the increasing incidence of asthma, more attention is focused on the diverse and complex nutritional and environmental triggers of asthma exacerbations. Currently, there are no established risk assessment tools to evaluate asthma triggering potentials of most of the nutritional and environmental triggers encountered by asthmatic patients. Purpose The objective of this study is to devise a reliable workflow, capable of estimating the toxicogenomic effect of such factors on key player genes in asthma pathogenesis. Methods Gene expression extracted from publicly available datasets of asthmatic bronchial epithelium were subjected to a comprehensive analysis of differential gene expression to identify significant genes involved in asthma development and progression. The identified genes were subjected to Gene Set Enrichment Analysis using a total of 31,826 gene sets related to chemical, toxins, and drugs to identify common agents that share similar asthma-related targets genes and signaling pathways. Results Our analysis identified 225 differentially expressed genes between severe asthmatic and healthy bronchial epithelium. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis of the identified genes showed that they are involved in response to toxic substances and organic cyclic compounds and are targeted by 41 specific diets, plants products, and plants related toxins (eg adenine, arachidonic acid, baicalein, caffeic acid, corilagin, curcumin, ellagic acid, luteolin, microcystin-RR, phytoestrogens, protoporphyrin IX, purpurogallin, rottlerin, and salazinic acid). Moreover, the identified chemicals share interesting inflammation-related pathways like NF-κB. Conclusion Our analysis was able to explain and predict the toxicity in terms of stimulating the differentially expressed genes between severe asthmatic and healthy epithelium. Such an approach can pave the way to generate a cost-effective and reliable source for asthma-specific toxigenic reports thus allowing the asthmatic patients, physicians, and medical researchers to be aware of the potential triggering factors with fatal consequences.

Nephropathy in Hypertensive Animals Is Linked to M2 Macrophages and Increased Expression of the YM1/Chi3l3 Protein. Mediators Inflamm 2019; 2019:9086758. [PMID: 31360120 PMCID: PMC6652056 DOI: 10.1155/2019/9086758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2019] [Revised: 06/03/2019] [Accepted: 06/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Macrophages contribute to a continuous increase in blood pressure and kidney damage in hypertension, but their polarization status and the underlying mechanisms have not been clarified. This study revealed an important role for M2 macrophages and the YM1/Chi3l3 protein in hypertensive nephropathy in a mouse model of hypertension. Bone marrow cells were isolated from the femurs and tibia of male FVB/N (control) and transgenic hypertensive animals that overexpressed the rat form of angiotensinogen (TGM(rAOGEN)123, TGM123-FVB/N). The cells were treated with murine M-CSF and subsequently with LPS+IFN-γ to promote their polarization into M1 macrophages and IL-4+IL-13 to trigger the M2 phenotype. We examined the kidneys of TGM123-FVB/N animals to assess macrophage polarization and end-organ damage. mRNA expression was evaluated using real-time PCR, and protein levels were assessed through ELISA, CBA, Western blot, and immunofluorescence. Histology confirmed high levels of renal collagen. Cells stimulated with LPS+IFN-γ in vitro showed no significant difference in the expression of CD86, an M1 marker, compared to cells from the controls or the hypertensive mice. When stimulated with IL-4+IL-13, however, macrophages of the hypertensive group showed a significant increase in CD206 expression, an M2 marker. The M2/M1 ratio reached 288%. Our results indicate that when stimulated in vitro, macrophages from hypertensive mice are predisposed toward polarization to an M2 phenotype. These data support results from the kidneys where we found an increased infiltration of macrophages predominantly polarized to M2 associated with high levels of YM1/Chi3l3 (91,89%), suggesting that YM1/Chi3l3 may be a biomarker of hypertensive nephropathy.

Abstract
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) can be classified into dozens of subtypes based on their hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) proteins. To date, 18 HA subtypes and 11 NA subtypes of IAVs that spread in animals and humans have been found. Following infection, the IAV first induces the innate immune system, which can rapidly recruit innate immune cells and cytokines to the site of infection. Influenza-induced cytokine storms have been associated with uncontrolled proinflammatory responses, which may lead to significant immunopathy and severe disease. Cytokine storms are complicated by several types of cytokines and chemokines that have various activities. In addition to their direct effects, their crossregulation causes cytokine networks to form; these networks determine the outcome of viral infections. In this review, we focus on cytokine storms and their signaling pathways that are triggered by the different subtypes of IAV.

Abstract
Background Bulleyaconitine A (BLA) has been widely used as analgesic against chronic inflammatory pain in China. However, its potential therapeutic role in asthma remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of BLA on airway inflammation in mice with allergic asthma. Material/Methods Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) female Balb/c mice were randomly divided into the following 6 groups: (1) Control group (NC), (2) Asthma group (AS), (3) BLA-L group, (4) BLA-M group, (5) BLA-H group, and (6) Dexamethasone group. An asthma mouse model was established by administration of ovalbumin (OVA) and mice were sacrificed within 24 h after the last challenge. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to determine the relative expression levels of IgE and IgG in mouse serum. In addition, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected and IL-4, TNF-α, and MCP-1 levels were determined by ELISA. Furthermore, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages in BALF were classified and analyzed, and inflammatory cell infiltration in the airways of mice was determined by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The expression of NF-κB1 and PKC-δ in mouse lung tissue was determined by Western blot analysis. Results The levels of serum IgE and IgG in BLA- or Dex- treated mice were significantly reduced compared to those in the asthma (AS) group (P<0.01), whereas the levels of cytokines IL-4, TNF-α, and MCP-1 were significantly decreased (P<0.01). HE-staining showed that BLA significantly reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and mucus secretion in lung tissue. Moreover, BLA inhibited the expression of NF-κB1 and PKC-δ via the NF-κB signaling pathway in the lung. Conclusions Our data show that BLA activates PKC-δ/NF-κB to reduce airway inflammation in allergic asthma mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of asthma and airway obstruction is the result of an abnormal response to different environmental exposures. The scientific premise of our study was based on the finding that FoxO1 expression is increased in lung macrophages of mice after allergen exposure and human asthmatic patients. Macrophages are capable of switching from one functional phenotype to another, and it is important to understand the mechanisms involved in the transformation of macrophages and how their cellular function affects the peribronchial stromal microenvironment. METHODS We employed a murine asthma model, in which mice were treated by intranasal insufflation with allergens for 2-8 weeks. We used both a pharmacologic approach using a highly specific FoxO1 inhibitor and genetic approaches using FoxO1 knockout mice (FoxO1fl/fl LysMcre). Cytokine level in biological fluids was measured by ELISA and the expression of encoding molecules by NanoString assay and qRT-PCR. RESULTS We show that the levels of FoxO1 gene are significantly elevated in the airway macrophages of patients with mild asthma in response to subsegmental bronchial allergen challenge. Transcription factor FoxO1 regulates a pro-asthmatic phenotype of lung macrophages that is involved in the development and progression of chronic allergic airway disease. We have shown that inhibition of FoxO1 induced phenotypic conversion of lung macrophages and downregulates pro-asthmatic and pro-fibrotic gene expression by macrophages, which contribute to airway inflammation and airway remodeling in allergic asthma. CONCLUSION Targeting FoxO1 with its downstream regulator IRF4 is a novel therapeutic target for controlling allergic inflammation and potentially reversing fibrotic airway remodeling.

Abstract
Allergic eosinophilic asthma is a chronic condition causing airway remodeling resulting in lung dysfunction. We observed that expression of sirtuin 2 (Sirt2), a histone deacetylase, regulates the recruitment of eosinophils after sensitization and challenge with a triple antigen: dust mite, ragweed, and Aspergillus fumigatus (DRA). Our data demonstrate that IL-4 regulates the expression of Sirt2 isoform 3/5. Pharmacological inhibition of Sirt2 by AGK2 resulted in diminished cellular recruitment, decreased CCL17/TARC, and reduced goblet cell hyperplasia. YM1 and Fizz1 expression was reduced in AGK2-treated, IL-4-stimulated lung macrophages in vitro as well as in lung macrophages from AGK2-DRA-challenged mice. Conversely, overexpression of Sirt2 resulted in increased cellular recruitment, CCL17 production, and goblet cell hyperplasia following DRA challenge. Sirt2 isoform 3/5 was upregulated in primary human alveolar macrophages following IL-4 and AGK2 treatment, which resulted in reduced CCL17 and markers of alternative activation. These gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies indicate that Sirt2 could be developed as a treatment for eosinophilic asthma.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as the major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria activates macrophages to produce a high level of pro-inflammatory cytokines which is considered as a cause of liver dysfunction. Overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) has been suggested to have a role in hepatic injury. The aim of the present study was to explore the protective effects of aminoguanidine (AG) as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibitor against LPS -induced liver dysfunction in rat. The animals were divided into five groups: (1) control (2) LPS (3) LPS-AG50, (4) LPS-AG100 and (5) LPS-AG150. LPS (1 mg/kg) was injected for 5 weeks and AG (50, 100 and 150 mg/kg) was administered 30 min before LPS. Drugs were injected intraperitoneally. LPS induced liver dysfunction presented by increasing the serum level of alkaline phosphatase (ALK-P), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Pretreatment with AG restored harmful effects of LPS on liver function. In addition, LPS resulted in hepatotoxicity, accompanied by enhancing the level of interleukin (IL)-6, malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) metabolites and decreasing the content of total thiol groups and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity. Injection of AG before LPS attenuated LPS-induced hepatotoxicity through decreasing the level of IL-6, MDA and NO metabolites and increasing total thiols and SOD and CAT activity. Considering the protective effect of AG which was seen in the present study, it seems that increased levels of NO due to activation of iNOS has a role in LPS-induced hepatic injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophage plasticity allows cells to adopt different phenotypes, a property with important implications in disorders such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and asthma. OBJECTIVE We sought to examine the transcriptional and functional significance of macrophage repolarization from an M1 to an M2 phenotype and assess the role of a common human genetic disorder (CF) and a prototypical allergic disease (asthma) in this transformation. METHODS Monocyte-derived macrophages were collected from healthy subjects and patients with CF and polarized to an M2 state by using IL-4, IL-10, glucocorticoids, apoptotic PMNs, or azithromycin. We performed transcriptional profiling and pathway analysis for each stimulus. We assessed the ability of M2-repolarized macrophages to respond to LPS rechallenge and clear apoptotic neutrophils and used murine models to determine conserved functional responses to IL-4 and IL-10. We investigated whether M2 signatures were associated with alveolar macrophage phenotypes in asthmatic patients. RESULTS We found that macrophages exhibit highly diverse responses to distinct M2-polarizing stimuli. Specifically, IL-10 activated proinflammatory pathways and abrogated LPS tolerance, allowing rapid restoration of LPS responsiveness. In contrast, IL-4 enhanced LPS tolerance, dampening proinflammatory responses after repeat LPS challenge. A common theme observed across all M2 stimuli was suppression of interferon-associated pathways. We found that CF macrophages had intact reparative and transcriptional responses, suggesting that macrophage contributions to CF-related lung disease are primarily shaped by their environment. Finally, we leveraged in vitro-derived signatures to show that allergen provocation induces distinct M2 state transcriptional patterns in alveolar macrophages. CONCLUSION Our findings highlight the diversity of macrophage polarization, attribute functional consequences to different M2 stimuli, and provide a framework to phenotype macrophages in disease states.

Abstract
A characteristic feature of inflamed lungs in bronchial asthma (BA) is airway remodeling. Due to limited information on this topic in the literature, we aimed to explore the possible role of polymorphisms in the promoter region of the macrophage elastase gene MMP12 82A>G (rs2276109) as a predisposing factor for BA in an ethnic Bulgarian population. Using restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified fragments (PCR-RFLP), we performed genotype analysis of 58 patients and 119 control individuals. We found statistically significant differences in the distribution of genotypes (P = .008) and alleles (P = .004) between patients and nonaffected controls. In the dominant model, carriers of the G allele genotypes had 3.6-fold lower risk for BA, compared with those with the AA genotype, after adjustment for age and sex (odds ratio [OR], -0.277; 95% confidence interval [CI], .12-.65; P = .003). The results of our study suggest that the variant G allele of the MMP12 -82 A>G promoter polymorphism might be considered protective for development of BA in ethnic Bulgarian adults residing in central Bulgaria.

Abstract
Activation of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome received substantial attention recently in inflammatory diseases. Macrophages contribute to allergic inflammation in asthma. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of NLRP3 inflammasome on the polarization of macrophages. We utilized human primary monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages to study the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome components (NLRP3, apoptosis-associated specklike protein, and caspase-1) and its downstream cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β). By gain- or loss-of-function assays, we next explored the effects of NLRP3 inflammasome on M1/M2 polarization and secretion of IL-4, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, and IL-1β. The results showed increased numbers of M2 cells in asthma. And NLRP3 inflammasome was activated and involved in the inflammation of asthma. Furthermore, silence of NLRP3 down-regulated IL-4 secretion and up-regulated M1/M2. In contrast, overexpression of NLRP3 increased IL-4 and decreased M1/M2. As expected, IL-4 was involved in NLRP3-mediated down-regulation of Ml/M2 ratio. Moreover, NLRP3 interacted with IRF4 and was required for optimal IRF4-dependent IL-4 transcription. Subsequently, deficiency of NLRP3 in ovalbumin-induced allergic asthmatic mice impaired lung inflammation and up-regulated M1/M2, and diminished IL-4 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Collectively, we demonstrated here that activation of NLRP3 was engaged in the promotion of asthma. NLRP3, but not the inflammasome adaptor ASC or caspase-1, promoted the polarization of M2 macrophages through up-regulating the expression of IL-4, thereby contributing to its regulation of asthma.

Abstract
AIM There are marked socioeconomic disparities in pediatric asthma control, but the molecular origins of these disparities are not well understood. To fill this gap, we performed genome-wide expression profiling of monocytes and T-helper cells from pediatric asthma patients of lower and higher socioeconomic status (SES). METHOD Ninety-nine children with asthma participated in a cross-sectional assessment. Out of which 87% were atopic, and most had disease of mild (54%) or moderate (29%) severity. Children were from lower-SES (n = 49; household income <$50 000) or higher-SES (n = 50; household income >$140 000) families. Peripheral blood monocytes and T-helper cells were isolated for genome-wide expression profiling of mRNA. RESULTS Lower-SES children had worse asthma quality of life relative to higher-SES children, by both their own and their parents' reports. Although the groups had similar disease severity and potential confounds were controlled, their transcriptional profiles differed notably. The monocytes of lower-SES children showed transcriptional indications of up-regulated anti-microbial and pro-inflammatory activity. The T-helper cells of lower-SES children also had comparatively reduced expression of genes encoding γ-interferon and tumor necrosis factor-α, cytokines that orchestrate Type 1 responses. They also showed up-regulated activity of transcription factors that polarize cells towards Type 2 responses and promote Th17 cell maturation. CONCLUSION Collectively, these patterns implicate pro-inflammatory monocytes and Type 2 cytokine activity as mechanisms contributing to worse asthma control among lower-SES children.

Abstract
Alternatively activated (M2 or YM1+) macrophages have been associated with the development of asthma but their contribution to disease initiation and progression remains unclear. To assess the therapeutic potential of modulating these M2 macrophages, we have studied inhibition of M2 polarisation during and after development of allergic lung inflammation by treating with cynaropicrin, a galectin-3 pathway inhibitor. Mice that were treated with this inhibitor of M2 polarisation during induction of allergic inflammation developed less severe eosinophilic lung inflammation and less collagen deposition around airways, while the airway α-smooth muscle actin layer was unaffected. When we treated with cynaropicrin after induction of inflammation, eosinophilic lung inflammation and collagen deposition were also inhibited though to a lesser extent. Unexpectedly, both during and after induction of allergic inflammation, inhibition of M2 polarisation resulted in a shift towards neutrophilic inflammation. Moreover, airway hyperresponsiveness was worse in mice treated with cynaropicrin as compared to allergic mice without inhibitor. These results show that M2 macrophages are associated with remodeling and development of eosinophilic lung inflammation, but prevent development of neutrophilic lung inflammation and worsening of airway hyperresponsiveness. This study suggests that macrophages contribute to determining development of eosinophilic or neutrophilic lung inflammation in asthma.

Abstract
Allergic asthma is associated with airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. Macrophage polarization has been shown to have a profound impact on asthma pathogenesis. On exposure to local microenvironments, recruited macrophages can be polarized into either classically activated (or M1) or alternatively activated (or M2) phenotypes. Macrophage polarization has been heavily associated with development of asthma. The process of regulation of macrophage polarization involves an intricate interplay between various cytokines, chemokines, transcriptional factors, and immune-regulatory cells. Different signals from the microenvironment are controlled by different receptors on the macrophages to initiate various macrophage polarization pathways. Most importantly, there is an increased attention on the epigenetic changes (eg, microRNAs, DNA methylation, and histone modification) that impact macrophage functional responses and M1/M2 polarization through modulating cellular signaling and signature gene expression. Thus, modulation of macrophage phenotypes through molecular intervention by targeting some of those potential macrophage regulators may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of allergic asthma and other allergic diseases. In this review, we will discuss the origin of macrophages, characterization of macrophages, macrophage polarization in asthma, and the underlying mechanisms regarding allergen-induced macrophage polarization with emphasis on the regulation of epigenetics, which will provide new insights into the therapeutic strategy for asthma.
