IgE directly affects eosinophil migration in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps through CCR3 and predicts the efficacy of omalizumab. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2024; 153:447-460.e9. [PMID: 37922997 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2023.09.041] [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: 11/13/2022] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether IgE affects eosinophil migration in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remains largely unclear. Moreover, our understanding of local IgE, eosinophils, and omalizumab efficacy in CRSwNP remains limited. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether IgE acts directly on eosinophils and determined its role in omalizumab therapy. METHODS Eosinophils and their surface receptors were detected by hematoxylin and eosin staining and flow cytometry. IgE and its receptors, eosinophil peroxidase (EPX), eosinophilic cationic protein, and CCR3 were detected by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Functional analyses were performed on blood eosinophils and polyp tissues. Logistic regression was performed to screen for risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic curve was generated to evaluate the accuracy. RESULTS Both FcεRI and CD23 were expressed on eosinophils. The expression of FcεRI and CD23 on eosinophil in nasal polyp tissue was higher than in peripheral blood (both P < .001). IgE and EPX colocalized in CRSwNP. IgE directly promoted eosinophil migration by upregulating CCR3 in CRSwNP but not in healthy controls. Omalizumab and lumiliximab were found to be effective in restraining this migration, indicating CD23 was involved in IgE-induced eosinophil migration. Both IgE+ and EPX+ cells were significantly reduced after omalizumab treatment in those who experienced response (IgE+ cells, P = .001; EPX+ cells, P = .016) but not in those with no response (IgE+ cells, P = .060; EPX+ cells, P = .151). Baseline IgE+ cell levels were higher in those with response compared to those without response (P = .024). The baseline local IgE+ cell count predicted omalizumab efficacy with an accuracy of 0.811. CONCLUSIONS IgE directly promotes eosinophil migration, and baseline local IgE+ cell counts are predictive of omalizumab efficacy in CRSwNP.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126892. [PMID: 37709231 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126892] [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: 07/08/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
CC chemokine receptor-3 (hCCR3), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed predominantly on eosinophils, is an important drug target. However, it was unclear how chemokine ligands, activators and antagonists recognize hCCR3, and quantitative measurements of hCCR3 inhibition or activation were rare. This study constructed a nanogold receptor sensor using hCCR3 as the molecular recognition element and horseradish peroxidase as the signal amplifier. We quantified the kinetic antagonism between chemokines and hCCR3 before and after adding hCCR3 antagonists. A molecular docking study was carried out to investigate how hCCR3 and its ligands work. The study results indicate chemokines interact with hCCR3 at low concentrations, and reversible hCCR3 inhibitors solely inhibit hCCR3, not CCLs. Moreover, a quantitative evaluation of hCCR3 chemokine activators and their antagonists was carried out using a directed weighted network. This offers a novel approach to quantitatively evaluate chemokine-receptor activation and antagonism together. This research could potentially offer new insights into the mechanisms of action of chemokines and drug screening.

[PMID: 38137541 PMCID: PMC10741975 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11123319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 12/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a unique form of cardiomyopathy that develops as a consequence of diabetes and significantly contributes to heart failure in patients. Esaxerenone, a selective non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, has demonstrated potential in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular and renal events in individuals with chronic kidney and diabetes disease. However, the exact protective effects of esaxerenone in the context of DCM are still unclear. (2) Methods: The DCM model was successfully induced in mice by administering streptozotocin (55 mg/kg per day) for five consecutive days. After being fed a normal diet for 16 weeks, echocardiography was performed to confirm the successful establishment of the DCM model. Subsequent sequencing and gene expression analysis revealed significant differences in gene expression in the DCM group. These differentially expressed genes were identified as potential targets for DCM. By utilizing the Swiss Target Prediction platform, we employed predictive analysis to identify the potential targets of esaxerenone. A protein-protein-interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the common targets of esaxerenone and DCM. Enrichment analysis was conducted using Metascape. (3) Results: Compared to the control, the diabetic group exhibited impaired cardiac function and myocardial fibrosis. There was a total of 36 common targets, with 5 key targets. Enrichment analysis revealed that the chemokine and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway was considered a crucial pathway. A target-pathway network was established, from which seven key targets were identified. All key targets exhibited good binding characteristics when interacting with esaxerenone. (4) Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that esaxerenone exhibits a favorable therapeutic effect on DCM, primarily by modulating the chemokine and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

Front Immunol 2022; 13:927272. [PMID: 35958560 PMCID: PMC9359302 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.927272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) in controlled intestinal inflammation and alleviated associated insulin resistance (IR). We also explored the possible underlying molecular mechanisms, showed the preventive effect of IAP on IR in vivo, and verified the dephosphorylation of IAP for the inhibition of intestinal inflammation in vitro. Furthermore, we examined the preventive role of IAP in IR induced by a high-fat diet in mice. We found that an IAP + IAP enhancer significantly ameliorated blood glucose, insulin, low-density lipoprotein, gut barrier function, inflammatory markers, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in serum. IAP could dephosphorylate LPS and nucleoside triphosphate in a pH-dependent manner in vitro. Firstly, LPS is inactivated by IAP and IAP reduces LPS-induced inflammation. Secondly, adenosine, a dephosphorylated product of adenosine triphosphate, elicited anti-inflammatory effects by binding to the A2A receptor, which inhibits NF-κB, TNF, and PI3K-Akt signalling pathways. Hence, IAP can be used as a natural anti-inflammatory agent to reduce intestinal inflammation-induced IR.

Abstract
The regulation of the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) programming mechanism promises great success in regenerative medicine. Tissue regeneration has been associated not only with the differentiation of MSCs, but also with the microenvironment of the stem cell niche that involves various cytokines and immune cells in the tissue regeneration site. In the present study, fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), the principal growth factor for tooth development, dental pulp homeostasis and dentin repair, was reported to affect the expression of cytokines in human dental pulp-derived MSCs. FGF2 significantly inhibited the expression of chemokine C-C motif ligand 11 (CCL11) in a time- and dose-dependent manner in the SDP11 human dental pulp-derived MSC line. This inhibition was diminished following treatment with the AZD4547 FGF receptor (FGFR) inhibitor, indicating that FGF2 negatively regulated the expression of CCL11 in SDP11 cells. Furthermore, FGF2 activated the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) in SDP11 cells. The mechanism of the FGFR-downstream signaling pathway was then studied using the SB203580, U0126 and SP600125 inhibitors for p38 MAPK, ERK1/2, and JNK, respectively. Interestingly, only treatment with SP600125 blocked the FGF2-mediated suppression of CCL11. The present results suggested that FGF2 regulated the expression of cytokines and suppressed the expression of CCL11 via the JNK signaling pathway in human dental pulp-derived MSCs. The present findings could provide important insights into the association of FGF2 and CCL11 in dental tissue regeneration therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthma is a common chronic airway inflammatory disease worldwide. Studies on gene expression profiles in induced sputum may provide noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for asthma. OBJECTIVE To investigate mRNA expression of MMP12 in induced sputum and its relationship with asthma airway eosinophilic inflammation. METHODS GSE76262 dataset was analyzed using R software, weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction. The top ten hub genes were screened with Cytoscape software (version 3.8.4). We then verified the mRNA expression of MMP12 in two other datasets (GSE137268 and GSE74075) via ROC curve estimates and our induced sputum samples using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Finally, we explored the correlation between MMP12 with asthmatic eosinophilic-related indicators. RESULTS We obtained the top ten hub genes, namely, CCL17, CCL2, CSF1, CCL22, CCR3, CD69, FCGR2B, CD1C, CD1E, and MMP12 via expression profile screening and validation on the GSE76262 dataset. MMP12 was selected as the candidate gene through further validation on GSE137268 and GSE74075 datasets. Finally, we demonstrated that the mRNA expression of MMP12 is significantly upregulated in induced sputum of asthmatic patients (p<0.05) and significantly correlated with eosinophilic-related indicators (p<0.05). These findings indicated that MMP12 can act as a diagnostic biomarker for asthma. CONCLUSION Our study successfully identified and demonstrated that MMP12 is a potential diagnostic biomarker for asthma due to its high expression and association with eosinophilic-related indicators. The results of this study can provide novel insights into asthmatic diagnosis and therapy in the future.

CCR3 antagonist protects against induced cellular senescence and promotes rejuvenation in periodontal ligament cells for stimulating pulp regeneration in the aged dog. Sci Rep 2020; 10:8631.

Abstract
Pulp regeneration after transplantation of mobilized dental pulp stem cells (MDPSCs) declines in the aged dogs due in part to the chronic inflammation and/or cellular senescence. Eotaxin-1/C-C motif chemokine 11 (CCL11) is an inflammation marker via chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3). Moreover, CCR3 antagonist (CCR3A) can inhibit CCL11 binding to CCR3 and prevent CCL11/CCR3 signaling. The study aimed to examine the effect of CCR3A on cellular senescence and anti-inflammation/immunomodulation in human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). The rejuvenating effects of CCR3A on neurite extension and migratory activity to promote pulp regeneration in aged dog teeth were also evaluated. In vivo, the amount of regenerated pulp tissues was significantly increased by transplantation of MDPSCs with CCR3A compared to control without CCR3A. In vitro, senescence of HPDLCs was induced after p-Cresol exposure, as indicated by increased cell size, decreased proliferation and increased senescence markers, p21 and IL-1β. Treatment of HPDLCs with CCR3A prevented the senescence effect of p-Cresol. Furthermore, CCR3A significantly decreased expression of CCL11, increased expression of immunomodulatory factor, IDO, and enhanced neurite extension and migratory activity. In conclusion, CCR3A protects against p-Cresol-induced cellular senescence and enhances rejuvenating effects, suggesting its potential utility to stimulate pulp regeneration in the aged teeth.

METHODS AND MATERIALS The study was performed using NPC patient-derived tumor xenograft tumors, cell lines, CCR4+ CD8 T cells sorted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy volunteers, and TCGA-derived bulk RNA-seq or single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data sets. Patient-derived tumor xenograft tumors or cell lines were irradiated and collected for bulk RNA sequencing or for CCL22 expression and release detection. Malignant phenotypes and radiosensitivity were assessed in cells with or without overexpression of CCL22 or recombinant CCL22 treatment in the presence or absence of irradiation. TCGA data sets were used for uncovering CCR4 status in subtypes of T cells. CCL22 in supernatants, cell lysates, or serum samples was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS CCL22 was significantly increased in the irradiated patient-derived tumor xenograft tumors, the supernatants and cell lysates collected from irradiated NPC cell lines, and the serum of patients who received radiation therapy. No alterations of malignant phenotypes were found in tumor cells with CCL22 overexpression or recombinant CCL22 treatment. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that CCL22 or its receptor CCR4 positively correlated with cytotoxic T lymphocyte signatures, and high expression of CCL22 or CCR4 was associated with better prognosis for patients with NPC. scRNA-seq data set-based analysis demonstrated that CCR4 was expressed in multiple subtypes of T cells, including effector CD8 T cells. Chemotaxis assay indicated that CCR4+ CD8 T cells could be recruited by CCL22 treatment. CONCLUSION The radiation-enhanced release of CCL22 from NPC cells promotes migration of CCR4 + effector CD8 T cells, which might partially be associated with radiation therapy-mediated antitumor immunity.
