Chronic TNF exposure induces glucocorticoid-like immunosuppression in the alveolar macrophages of aged mice that enhances their susceptibility to pneumonia. Aging Cell 2024; 23:e14133. [PMID: 38459711 PMCID: PMC11296116 DOI: 10.1111/acel.14133] [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: 07/07/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Chronic low-grade inflammation, particularly elevated tumor necrosis factor (TNF) levels, occurs due to advanced age and is associated with greater susceptibility to infection. One reason for this is age-dependent macrophage dysfunction (ADMD). Herein, we use the adoptive transfer of alveolar macrophages (AM) from aged mice into the airway of young mice to show that inherent age-related defects in AM were sufficient to increase the susceptibility to Streptococcus pneumoniae, a Gram-positive bacterium and the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia. MAPK phosphorylation arrays using AM lysates from young and aged wild-type (WT) and TNF knockout (KO) mice revealed multilevel TNF-mediated suppression of kinase activity in aged mice. RNAseq analyses of AM validated the suppression of MAPK signaling as a consequence of TNF during aging. Two regulatory phosphatases that suppress MAPK signaling, Dusp1 and Ptprs, were confirmed to be upregulated with age and as a result of TNF exposure both ex vivo and in vitro. Dusp1 is known to be responsible for glucocorticoid-mediated immune suppression, and dexamethasone treatment increased Dusp1 and Ptprs expression in cells and recapitulated the ADMD phenotype. In young mice, treatment with dexamethasone increased the levels of Dusp1 and Ptprs and their susceptibility to infection. TNF-neutralizing antibody reduced Dusp1 and Ptprs levels in AM from aged mice and reduced pneumonia severity following bacterial challenge. We conclude that chronic exposure to TNF increases the expression of the glucocorticoid-associated MAPK signaling suppressors, Dusp1 and Ptprs, which inhibits AM activation and increases susceptibility to bacterial pneumonia in older adults.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in females, and the majority of patients succumb to metastasis. The present study aimed to investigate the association between tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3 (A20), NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) and tumor-associated macrophage polarization, and their effects on the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer cells. The expression of A20 in breast cancer cells was analyzed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blotting. RT-qPCR and western blotting were also used to confirm the transfection efficiency. The viability, clone formation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis of transfected breast cancer cells were detected by Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation, wound healing, Transwell and tube formation assays, respectively. Activated macrophages, namely M1 and M2 type macrophages, were observed by double staining immunofluorescence. The levels of M1 and M2 macrophage markers were analyzed by qPCR. The expression of angiogenesis-related proteins and NLRP3 inflammasome activation-associated proteins was detected by western blotting. The results revealed that A20 was highly expressed in breast cancer cells. Interference with A20 inhibited the proliferation, invasion, migration and angiogenesis of breast cancer cells, and inhibited the M2-like polarization of macrophages. Interference with A20 promoted the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. The NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 alleviated the effect of interference with A20 to promote macrophage proliferation and recruitment, as well as M2-like polarization. In conclusion, interference with A20 inhibited macrophage proliferation and M2-like polarization through the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway to inhibit breast cancer progression.

Modulation of Alveolar Macrophages by Postimmunobiotics: Impact on TLR3-Mediated Antiviral Respiratory Immunity. Cells 2022; 11:cells11192986.

Abstract
Beneficial microbes with immunomodulatory capacities (immunobiotics) and their non-viable forms (postimmunobiotics) could be effectively utilized in formulations towards the prevention of respiratory viral infections. In this study, novel immunobiotic strains with the ability to increase antiviral immunity in porcine alveolar macrophages were selected from a library of Lactobacillus gasseri. Postimmunobiotics derived from the most remarkable strains were also evaluated in their capacity to modulate the immune response triggered by Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) in alveolar macrophages and to differentially regulate TLR3-mediated antiviral respiratory immunity in infant mice. We provide evidence that porcine alveolar macrophages (3D4/31 cells) are a useful in vitro tool for the screening of new antiviral immunobiotics and postimmunobiotics by assessing their ability to modulate the expression IFN-β, IFN-λ1, RNAseL, Mx2, and IL-6, which can be used as prospective biomarkers. We also demonstrate that the postimmunobiotics derived from the Lactobacillus gasseri TMT36, TMT39 and TMT40 (HK36, HK39 or HK40) strains modulate the innate antiviral immune response of alveolar macrophages and reduce lung inflammatory damage triggered by TLR3 activation in vivo. Although our findings should be deepened and expanded, the results of the present work provide a scientific rationale for the use of nasally administered HK36, HK39 or HK40 to beneficially modulate TLR3-triggerd respiratory innate immune response.

Abstract
A20 is involved in inflammation and bone metabolism in periodontitis. Regulation of macrophage polarization may be an effective target for periodontitis treatment, and A20 has a regulatory role in macrophage polarization. This study aimed to explore the effects of A20 on macrophage polarization in periodontitis and the underlying mechanism. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting A20 was exploited to achieve A20 knockdown or overexpression in periodontal tissues of mice with experimental periodontitis. The (AAV-A20-RNAi) +P group showed increased alveolar bone resorption when compared with PBS + P and CON305 + P groups. However, the degree of bone destruction was reduced in the (AAV-A20) +P group relative to PBS + P and CON299 + P groups. A20 knockdown resulted in enhanced inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and decreased CD206 expression in mice periodontal tissues. In addition, higher levels of M1 macrophage polarization markers (iNOS, CD86, TNF-α) and lower CD206 expression were found in THP-1 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) (Pg. LPS) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) when A20 was silenced. A20 overexpression showed opposite effects on macrophage polarization in vivo and in vitro. Knockdown of A20 was correlated with upregulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in mice periodontal tissues or THP-1 cells. On the contrary, A20 overexpression inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. MCC950 suppressed M1 macrophage polarization aggravated through A20 knockdown in Pg. LPS and IFN-γ stimulated cells. Our data suggested that A20 inhibits periodontal bone resorption and NLRP3-mediated M1 macrophage polarization; A20 is expected to be a novel target for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Experiments have demonstrated the regulation of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in tuberculosis (TB), and negative pressure treatment has been associated with the alleviation of TB. Here, we investigated the interaction of negative pressure and the lncRNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) in modulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. Initially, we established an in vitro cell model of MTB infection and an in vivo mouse model of MTB infection, followed by treatment with negative pressure. Then, we examined the expression of XIST, followed by analysis of the downstream miRNA of XIST. XIST was overexpressed or underexpressed through cell transfection to examine its effects on macrophage polarization via the miR-125b-5p/A2 axis. The MTB models were characterized by upregulated XIST and downregulated miR-125b-5p. XIST bound to miR-125b-5p, leading to its downregulation, and thus causing higher MTB survival in an ESAT-6-dependent manner. Additionally, negative pressure treatment decreased MTB-driven XIST expression through downregulation of A20 (an NF-κB repressor) via miR-125b-5 expression, promoting the M1 polarization program in macrophages through activation of the NF-κB pathway. In summary, negative pressure treatment after MTB infection can promote the polarization of macrophages to the proinflammatory M1 phenotype by regulating the XIST/miR-125b-5p/A20/NF-κB axis.

A20 Is Increased in Fetal Lung in a Sheep LPS Model of Chorioamnionitis. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:6421419.

Abstract
Chorioamnionitis is associated with an increased risk of preterm birth and aggravates adverse outcomes such as BPD. Development of BPD is associated with chronic inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress in the airways which may be antenatally initiated by chorioamnionitis. A20 is an immunomodulatory protein involved in the negative feedback regulation of inflammatory reactions and is a possible regulator protein in oxidative stress reactions. The influence of chorioamnionitis on A20 gene regulation in the fetal lung is unknown. We characterized the influence of LPS and proinflammatory cytokines on A20 expression in human lung endothelial (HPMEC-ST1.6R) and epithelial (A549) cells in vitro by real-time PCR and/or western blotting and used a sheep model of LPS-induced chorioamnionitis for in vivo studies. To study the functional role of A20, endogenous A20 was overexpressed in HPMEC-ST1.6R and A549 cells. LPS induced proinflammatory cytokines in HPMEC-ST1.6R and A549 cells. Both LPS and/or proinflammatory cytokines elevated A20 at transcriptional and translational levels. Intra-amniotic LPS transiently increased IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α mRNA levels in fetal lamb lungs, associated with an increase in A20 mRNA and protein levels. Overexpression of A20 reduced proinflammatory cytokines in vitro. Repeated LPS exposure induced LPS tolerance for proinflammatory cytokines and A20 in vitro and in vivo. Antenatal inflammation induced a transient increase in proinflammatory cytokines in the preterm fetal lung. The expression of proinflammatory cytokines increased expression of A20. Elevated A20 may have a protective role by downregulating chorioamnionitis-triggered fetal lung inflammation. A20 may be a novel target for pharmacological interventions to prevent chorioamnionitis-induced airway inflammation and lung damage, which can result in BPD later in life.

Abstract
Sesamin is a major component in lignans of sesame seeds, has been described to possess a lot of biological activity. The main objective of our study was to investigate the inhibitory effect and novel molecular mechanisms of sesamin on carrageenan-induced lung inflammation in rats. Here we showed that sesamin can obviously reduce polymorphonuclear neutrophils infiltration and exudate volume. Further studies exhibited sesamin can inhibit cytokines release, polymorphonuclear neutrophils markers production and the degree of lung tissues injury. Western blot analysis revealed that sesamin can inhibit the TRAF6 expression and NF-κB pathway activation in lung tissue. We found that sesamin can increase the expression of A20 and TAX1BP1 in lung tissues, and the interaction between the two molecules. In conclusion, all these results demonstrated that sesamin can attenuate carrageenan-induced lung inflammation, the mechanisms that may be related to upregulation of the novel target A20 and TAX1BP1 which can negative regulation for NF-κB pathway. Importantly, this is the first evidence showing that TAX1BP1 can be as a novel regulatory target to attenuate the lung inflammation.

Abstract
Although recent progress provides mechanistic insights into the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis (PF), rare anti-PF therapeutics show definitive promise for treating this disease. Repeated lung epithelial injury results in injury-repairing response and inflammation, which drive the development of PF. Here, we report that chronic lung injury inactivated the ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20, causing progressive accumulation of the transcription factor C/EBPβ in alveolar macrophages (AMs) from PF patients and mice, which upregulated a number of immunosuppressive and profibrotic factors promoting PF development. In response to chronic lung injury, elevated glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) interacted with and phosphorylated A20 to suppress C/EBPβ degradation. Ectopic expression of A20 or pharmacological restoration of A20 activity by disturbing the A20-GSK-3β interaction accelerated C/EBPβ degradation and showed potent therapeutic efficacy against experimental PF. Our study indicates that a regulatory mechanism of the GSK-3β-A20-C/EBPβ axis in AMs may be a potential target for treating PF and fibroproliferative lung diseases.

Abstract
Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS), the principal constituents derived from Panax notoginseng, have been extensively used for treating cardiocerebral vascular diseases in China and other Asian countries. The main effects of PNS were anti-inflammatory properties, inhibition of platelet aggregation, improvement of blood flow and insulin resistance, and so on. This study was carried out to explore the effects of PNS on macrophage polarization under hyperglycemic conditions. Human acute monocyte leukemia cell line THP-1 cells were induced into macrophages with Phorbol ester (PMA). Macrophages were then divided into five groups as follows: control (5.5mMol/l glucose), hyperglycemia group (15mMol/l glucose), hyperglycemia plus low-dose PNS (20ug/ml), hyperglycemia plus moderate-dose PNS (40ug/ml), and hyperglycemia plus high-dose PNS (60ug/ml). After 48-hour cell culture, the percentages of M1- and M2-polarized macrophages were measured by flow cytometry analysis. Reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to evaluate the Ym1 and arginase 1 expression in macrophages. Protein expression of arginase 1, NF-κB p50, p65, and inhibitor of κB (IκB) alpha phosphorylation in macrophages was identified with Western blotting. PNS, especially the high-dose PNS, remarkably increased M2 phenotype ratio in macrophages cultured with hyperglycemia, and the mRNA expression of Ym1 and arginase 1 in macrophages was also upregulated. Meanwhile, PNS remarkably increased the protein expression of arginase 1 and decreased IκB-alpha phosphorylation and subunits of NF-κB p50 and p65 from macrophages in culture medium with hyperglycemia. Taken together, our work demonstrated that PNS promote macrophages to transform M2 phenotype under hyperglycemic conditions through downregulating NF-κB signaling pathway.
