A synthetic bioactive peptide of the C-terminal fragment of adhesion protein Fibulin7 attenuates the inflammatory functions of innate immune cells in LPS-induced systemic inflammation. Inflamm Res 2024; 73:1333-1348. [PMID: 38836870 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-024-01903-7] [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: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Systemic inflammation is associated with improper localization of hyperactive neutrophils and monocytes in visceral organs. Previously, a C-terminal fragment of adhesion protein Fibulin7 (Fbln7-C) was shown to regulate innate immune functionality during inflammation. Recently, a shorter bioactive peptide of Fbln7-C, FC-10, via integrin binding was shown to reduce ocular angiogenesis. However, the role of FC-10 in regulating the neutrophils and monocyte functionality during systemic inflammatory conditions is unknown. The study sought to explore the role of FC-10 peptide on the functionality of innate immune cells during inflammation and endotoxemic mice. METHODS Neutrophils and monocytes were isolated from healthy donors and septic patient clinical samples and Cell adhesion assay was performed using a UV spectrophotometer. Gene expression studies were performed using qPCR. Protein level expression was measured using ELISA and flow cytometry. ROS assay, and activation markers analysis in vitro, and in vivo were done using flow cytometry. TREATMENT Cells were stimulated with LPS (100 ng/mL) and studied in the presence of peptides (10 μg, and 20 μg/mL) in vitro. In an in vivo study, mice were administered with LPS (36.8 mg/kg bw) and peptide (20 μg). RESULTS This study demonstrates that human neutrophils and monocytes adhere to FC-10 via integrin β1, inhibit spreading, ROS, surface activation markers (CD44, CD69), phosphorylated Src kinase, pro-inflammatory genes, and protein expression, compared to scrambled peptide in cells isolated from healthy donors and clinical sample. In line with the in vitro data, FC-10 (20 μg) administration significantly decreases innate cell infiltration at inflammatory sites, improves survival in endotoxemia animals & reduces the inflammatory properties of neutrophils and monocytes isolated from septic patients. CONCLUSION FC-10 peptide can regulate neutrophils and monocyte functions and has potential to be used as an immunomodulatory therapeutic in inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Monocytes and macrophages are essential components of innate immune system and have versatile roles in homeostasis and immunity. These phenotypically distinguishable mononuclear phagocytes play distinct roles in different stages, contributing to the pathophysiology in various forms making them a potentially attractive therapeutic target in inflammatory conditions. Several pieces of evidence have supported the role of different cell surface receptors expressed on these cells and their downstream signaling molecules in initiating and perpetuating the inflammatory response. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of the monocyte and macrophage biology in inflammation, highlighting the role of chemoattractants, inflammasomes, and integrins in the function of monocytes and macrophages during events of inflammation. This review also covers the recent therapeutic interventions targeting these mononuclear phagocytes at the cellular and molecular levels.

Protective effects of macrophage-specific integrin α5 in myocardial infarction are associated with accentuated angiogenesis. Nat Commun 2023; 14:7555. [PMID: 37985764 PMCID: PMC10662477 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-43369-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Macrophages sense changes in the extracellular matrix environment through the integrins and play a central role in regulation of the reparative response after myocardial infarction. Here we show that macrophage integrin α5 protects the infarcted heart from adverse remodeling and that the protective actions are associated with acquisition of an angiogenic macrophage phenotype. We demonstrate that myeloid cell- and macrophage-specific integrin α5 knockout mice have accentuated adverse post-infarction remodeling, accompanied by reduced angiogenesis in the infarct and border zone. Single cell RNA-sequencing identifies an angiogenic infarct macrophage population with high Itga5 expression. The angiogenic effects of integrin α5 in macrophages involve upregulation of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A. RNA-sequencing of the macrophage transcriptome in vivo and in vitro followed by bioinformatic analysis identifies several intracellular kinases as potential downstream targets of integrin α5. Neutralization assays demonstrate that the angiogenic actions of integrin α5-stimulated macrophages involve activation of Focal Adhesion Kinase and Phosphoinositide 3 Kinase cascades.

Protecting human amnion and chorion matrices during processing: Performance enhancement in a diabetic mouse model and human co-culture system. Wound Repair Regen 2023; 31:475-488. [PMID: 37209062 DOI: 10.1111/wrr.13099] [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: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that protecting human amnion and chorion matrices (HACM) during processing enhances the performance of HACM for wound repair and tissue regeneration. We utilised a diabetic (db/db) delayed wound healing mouse model. Treatment of db/db full-thickness excisional wounds with HACM, processed with a polyampholyte preservative accentuated the proliferative phase of wound healing that decreased the time necessary to heal wounds. Polyampholyte protection improved the preservation of growth factors and cytokines during room temperature storage following E-beam sterilisation and improved its function in wound healing applications. Our findings indicate protected HACM tissue up-regulated MIP2, NF-kB, TNF-α, KI-67, and Arg1 (0.6-fold to 1.5-fold) but those changes were not statistically significant. Immunofluorescent assessment identifying cell activity illustrated an induction of the proliferative phase of wound healing and a switch from an inflammatory macrophage phenotype (M1) to a pro-regenerative macrophage phenotype (M2a). Genomic profiling of 282 genes was performed using Nanostring from co-cultures of human macrophages and fibroblasts. The polyampholyte + HACM-treated group, compared with the HACM or polyampholyte alone groups, had a statistically significant up-regulation (32-368 fold) of 12 genes primarily involved in macrophage plasticity including CLC7, CD209, CD36, HSD11B1, ICAM1, IL1RN, IL3RA, ITGAX, LSP1, and PLXDC2 (adj. p-value < 0.05). The polyampholyte alone group demonstrated statistically significant down-regulation of four genes ADRA2, COL7A1, CSF3, and PTGS2 (adj. p < 0.05). The HACM alone group up-regulated four genes ATG14, CXCL11, DNMT3A, and THBD, but the results were not statistically significant. Biomechanical measurements indicated that wounds treated with polyampholyte-protected HACM had more tensile integrity compared with wounds treated with HACM alone. These findings indicate that better protection of HACM during processing stabilises the HACM matrix, which may lead to improved wound healing outcomes.

Abstract
BackgroundSepsis is regarded as a life-threatening organ dysfunction syndrome that responds to infection. Pyroptosis, a unique form of programmed cell death, is characterized by inflammatory cytokine secretion. Recently, an increasing number of studies have investigated the relationship between sepsis and pyroptosis. Appropriate pyroptosis can help to control infection during sepsis, but an immoderate one may cause immune disorders. The present study aimed to identify pyroptosis-related gene biomarkers and their relationship with the immune microenvironment using the genome-wide technique.MethodsThe training dataset GSE154918 and the validation dataset GSE185263 were downloaded for bioinformatics analysis. Differentially expressed pyroptosis-related genes (DEPRGs) were identified between sepsis (including septic shock) and healthy samples. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed to explore gene function. CIBERSORT tools were applied to quantify infiltrating immune cells, and the correlation between differentially infiltrating immune cells and DEPRG expression was investigated. Furthermore, based on multivariable Cox regression, the study also utilized a random forest (RF) model to screen biomarkers.ResultsIn total, 12 DEPRGs were identified. The expression level of PLCG1 was continuously significantly decreased, while the expression level of NLRC4 was elevated from control to sepsis and then to septic shock. GSEA found that one DEPRG (PLCG1) was involved in the T-cell receptor signaling pathway and that many T cell-related immunologic signature gene sets were enriched. The proportions of plasma cells, T cells CD4 memory activated, and some innate cells in the sepsis group were significantly higher than those in the healthy group, while the proportions of T cells CD8, T cells CD4 memory resting, T cells regulatory (Tregs), and NK cells were lower. Additionally, CASP4 was positively correlated with Neutrophils and negatively correlated with T cells CD4 memory resting and Tregs. Lastly, two biomarkers (CASP4 and PLCG1) were identified, and a nomogram model was constructed for diagnosis with area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.998.ConclusionThis study identified two potential pyroptosis-related diagnostic genes, CASP4 and PLCG1, and explored the correlation between DEPRGs and the immune microenvironment. Also, our study indicated that some DEPRGs were satisfactorily correlated with several representative immune cells that can regulate pyroptosis.

Abstract
Sepsis is a clinical syndrome with high mortality, which can lead to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Nonspecific immune dysfunction and immune imbalance are its important pathological features. Macrophages are important immune cells and one of the important components of innate and adaptive immunity. Regulating the function of macrophages may be a potential method for the treatment of sepsis. Up to now, ferroptosis has been proved to be involved in the pathophysiological mechanism of many diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, Parkinson's disease, and renal degeneration. At present, relevant studies have reported that ferroptosis may be involved in the occurrence of sepsis This paper reviews the existing mechanisms of iron ptosis in macrophages in sepsis, with a view to providing si'l for future studies on sepsis.
