Microglia-endothelial cross-talk regulates diabetes-induced retinal vascular dysfunction through remodeling inflammatory microenvironment. iScience 2024; 27:109145. [PMID: 38414848 PMCID: PMC10897849 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.109145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Inflammation-mediated crosstalk between neuroglial cells and endothelial cells (ECs) is a fundamental feature of many vascular diseases. Nevertheless, the landscape of inflammatory processes during diabetes-induced microvascular dysfunction remains elusive. Here, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing to elucidate the transcriptional landscape of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The transcriptome characteristics of microglia and ECs revealed two microglial subpopulations and three EC populations. Exploration of intercellular crosstalk between microglia and ECs showed that diabetes-induced interactions mainly participated in the inflammatory response and vessel development, with colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) and CSF1 receptor (CSF1R) playing important roles in early cell differentiation. Clinically, we found that CSF1/CSF1R crosstalk dysregulation was associated with proliferative DR. Mechanistically, ECs secrete CSF1 and activate CSF1R endocytosis and the CSF1R phosphorylation-mediated MAPK signaling pathway, which elicits the differentiation of microglia and triggers the secretion of inflammatory factors, and subsequently foster angiogenesis by remodeling the inflammatory microenvironment through a positive feedback mechanism.

Targeted macrophage phagocytosis by Irg1/itaconate axis improves the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke and peritonitis. EBioMedicine 2024; 101:104993. [PMID: 38324982 PMCID: PMC10862510 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2024.104993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophages are innate immune cells whose phagocytosis function is critical to the prognosis of stroke and peritonitis. cis-aconitic decarboxylase immune-responsive gene 1 (Irg1) and its metabolic product itaconate inhibit bacterial infection, intracellular viral replication, and inflammation in macrophages. Here we explore whether itaconate regulates phagocytosis. METHODS Phagocytosis of macrophages was investigated by time-lapse video recording, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence staining in macrophage/microglia cultures isolated from mouse tissue. Unbiased RNA-sequencing and ChIP-sequencing assays were used to explore the underlying mechanisms. The effects of Irg1/itaconate axis on the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke (ICH) and peritonitis was observed in transgenic (Irg1flox/flox; Cx3cr1creERT/+, cKO) mice or control mice in vivo. FINDINGS In a mouse model of ICH, depletion of Irg1 in macrophage/microglia decreased its phagocytosis of erythrocytes, thereby exacerbating outcomes (n = 10 animals/group, p < 0.05). Administration of sodium itaconate/4-octyl itaconate (4-OI) promoted macrophage phagocytosis (n = 7 animals/group, p < 0.05). In addition, in a mouse model of peritonitis, Irg1 deficiency in macrophages also inhibited phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus (n = 5 animals/group, p < 0.05) and aggravated outcomes (n = 9 animals/group, p < 0.05). Mechanistically, 4-OI alkylated cysteine 155 on the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), consequent in nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and transcriptional activation of Cd36 gene. Blocking the function of CD36 completely abolished the phagocytosis-promoting effects of Irg1/itaconate axis in vitro and in vivo. INTERPRETATION Our findings provide a potential therapeutic target for phagocytosis-deficiency disorders, supporting further development towards clinical application for the benefit of stroke and peritonitis patients.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are normally quiescent and non-migratory, regulating the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels to control the vascular tone. In response to arterial injury, these cells become active; they proliferate, secrete matrix proteins, and migrate, and thereby contribute importantly to the progression of several cardiovascular diseases. VSMC migration specifically supports atherosclerosis, restenosis after catheter-based intervention, transplant vasculopathy, and vascular remodeling during the formation of aneurysms. The atypical cadherin FAT1 is expressed robustly in activated VSMCs and promotes their migration. A positive role of FAT1 in the migration of other cell types, including neurons, fibroblasts, podocytes, and astrocyte progenitors, has also been described. In cancer biology, however, the effect of FAT1 on migration depends on the cancer type or context, as FAT1 either suppresses or enhances cancer cell migration and invasion. With this review, we describe what is known about FAT1's effects on cell migration as well as the factors that influence FAT1-dependent migration. In VSMCs, these factors include angiotensin II, which activates FAT1 expression and cell migration, and proteins of the Atrophin family: Atrophin-1 and the short isoform of Atrophin-2, which promote VSMC migration, and the long isoform of Atrophin-2, which exerts negative effects on FAT1-dependent VSMC migration.

Orally administered sodium nitrite prevents the increased α-1 adrenergic vasoconstriction induced by hypertension and promotes the S-nitrosylation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. Biochem Pharmacol 2023; 212:115571. [PMID: 37127250 PMCID: PMC10198929 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2023.115571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
The unsatisfactory rates of adequate blood pressure control among patients receiving antihypertensive treatment calls for new therapeutic strategies to treat hypertension. Several studies have shown that oral sodium nitrite exerts significant antihypertensive effects, but the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. While these mechanisms may involve nitrite-derived S-nitrosothiols, their implication in important alterations associated with hypertension, such as aberrant α1-adrenergic vasoconstriction, has not yet been investigated. Here, we examined the effects of oral nitrite treatment on vascular responses to the α1-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine in two-kidney, one clip (2K1C) hypertensive rats and investigated the potential underlying mechanisms. Our results show that treatment with oral sodium nitrite decreases blood pressure and prevents the increased α1-adrenergic vasoconstriction in 2K1C hypertensive rats. Interestingly, we found that these effects require vascular protein S-nitrosylation, and to investigate the specific S-nitrosylated proteins we performed an unbiased nitrosoproteomic analysis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) treated with the nitrosylating compound S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). This analysis revealed that GSNO markedly increases the nitrosylation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II γ (CaMKIIγ), a multifunctional protein that mediates the α1-adrenergic receptor signaling. This result was associated with reduced α1-adrenergic receptor-mediated CaMKIIγ activity in VSMCs. We further tested the relevance of these findings in vivo and found that treatment with oral nitrite increases CaMKIIγ S-nitrosylation and blunts the increased CaMKIIγ activity induced by phenylephrine in rat aortas. Collectively, these results are consistent with the idea that oral sodium nitrite treatment increases vascular protein S-nitrosylation, including CaMKIIγ as a target, which may ultimately prevent the increased α1-adrenergic vasoconstriction induced by hypertension. These mechanisms may help to explain the antihypertensive effects of oral nitrite and hold potential implications in the therapy of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases associated with abnormal α1-adrenergic vasoconstriction.

Brain Behav Immun 2022; 105:44-66.

Abstract
Our previous studies had reported that microglia activation one day before stress exposure prevented the behavioral abnormalities induced by chronic stress in adult mice, and a 10-day interval between microglia stimulation and stress exposure can abolish the prophylactic effect of LPS preinjection on the behavioral abnormalities induced by chronic stress, which, however, could be rescued by repeated LPS injection. This suggests that increased stimulation of microglia results in animals developing a strong ability to prevent deleterious stress stimuli. Because microglia in the adolescent brain exhibit flexible immunological plasticity, we hypothesize that a single low-dose LPS injection during adolescence may provide long-lasting protection against behavioral abnormalities induced by chronic stress in adult mice. As expected, our results showed that a single injection of LPS (100 μg/kg) at post-natal day 28 (PND 28) prevented the development of abnormal behaviors and shifted neuroinflammatory responses toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype in adult mice treated with CSDS at their different stages of the age (PND 56, 140, and 252). Moreover, pretreatment with minocycline or PLX3397 to inhibit microglial activation abolished the prophylactic effect of LPS preinjection after PND 28 on behavioral abnormalities and neuroinflammatory responses induced by CSDS in adult mice at their different stages of the age, PND 56, 140, and 252. These results indicate that stimulation of microglia in adolescence may confer long-lasting protection against neuroinflammatory responses and behavioral abnormalities induced by chronic stress in adult mice. This may offer the potential for the development of a "vaccine-like strategy" to prevent mental disorders.

The preventive effects of colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) inhibition on bladder outlet obstruction induced remodeling. Neurourol Urodyn 2022; 41:787-796. [PMID: 35170790 DOI: 10.1002/nau.24896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2021] [Revised: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a common problem that can affect bladder structure and function. Currently, there is no effective drugs available to prevent BOO-induced remodeling. Previous reports have demonstrated that the pathogenesis of BOO is associated with macrophage infiltration and polarization, which is physiologically dependent on colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) activation. Here we utilized a highly selective CSF-1R inhibitor, GW2580, to determine its preventive effects on BOO-induced remodeling. METHODS A total of 24 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham, BOO + vehicle, and BOO + GW2580 group. GW2580 or vehicle control was administrated by oral gavage at daily doses of 40 mg/kg for 6 weeks. Bladder samples were collected for histopathology, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, western blotting, and flow cytometry analysis. RESULTS Our results demonstrated that bladder fibrosis was ameliorated by GW2580 compared with the vehicle group (22.01% ± 5.13% vs. 32.15% ± 7.24%, p < 0.01). Furthermore, treatment with GW2580 induced an inhibition of macrophage infiltration (4.41% ± 1.28% vs. 13.57% ± 3.42%, p < 0.001) and M2 macrophage polarization (10.67% ± 4.15% vs. 28.59% ± 6.38%, p < 0.001). There was also a decrease of profibrotic F4/80+ α-smooth muscle actin+ (α-SMA+ ) macrophage to myofibroblast transition (9.11% ± 2.58% vs. 17.33% ± 4.01%, p < 0.001) and CD163+ TGF-β1+ cells (7.68% ± 2.10% vs. 14.17% ± 4.09%, p < 0.01) in the GW2580 group when compared with the vehicle group. CONCLUSIONS In summary, our findings showed that GW2580 is a worthwhile candidate for a follow-up study to test in the treatment of BOO-induced remodeling.
