“…Recent studies have demonstrated that macrophages and other immune cells can be activated by hypoxia through altering gene expressions and then undergo marked phenotypic changes to be involved in inflammation response, which is proven to be related to hypoxic tissue damage in hypoxic areas (4,8,11). Indeed, in the current study, we demonstrated that hypoxia could upregulate the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1b, IL-6, and TNF-a.…”

“…Recent studies demonstrated that hypoxia can activate macrophages, dendritic cells, and monocytes, which are involved in inflammatory response by altering gene expression and cytokine (such as IL-1b, IL-10, and IL-8, etc.) secretion (8)(9)(10)(11). Hypoxic stress could affect several independent transcriptional regulators related to adaptive and inflammatory responses, in which hypoxiainducible transcription factor-1 (HIF-1) and NF-kB are ones that play the central roles (12)(13)(14).…”

Hypoxia and inflammation often develop concurrently in numerous diseases, and the influence of hypoxia on natural evolution of inflammatory responses is widely accepted. Glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) is thought to be an important mediator of anti-inflammatory and immune-suppressive actions of glucocorticoid (GC). However, whether GILZ is involved in hypoxic response is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of hypoxic exposure and/or the administration of dexamethasone (Dex), a synthetic GC on GILZ expression both in vitro and in vivo, and further explored the relationship between GILZ and proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. We found that hypoxia not only remarkably upregulated the expression of GILZ, but also significantly enhanced Dex-induced expression of GILZ in macrophages and the spleen of rats. ERK activity is found involved in the upregulation of GILZ induced by hypoxia. Inhibiting the expression of GILZ in RAW264.7 cells using specific GILZ small interfering RNA led to a significant increase in mRNA production and protein secretion of IL-1β and IL-6 in hypoxia and abrogated the inhibitory effect of Dex on expression of IL-1β and IL-6 in hypoxia. We also found that adrenal hormones played pivotal roles in upregulation of GILZ expression in vivo. Altogether, data presented in this study suggest that GILZ has an important role not only in adjusting adaptive responses to hypoxia by negatively regulating the activation of macrophages and the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, but also in mediating the anti-inflammatory action of GC under hypoxic conditions.

“…In contrast, we could not detect a strong induction of Egr-2 in response to b-glucan in either WT or PLCg2-deficient BMDC. Hence, we conclude that PLCg2 is required for induction of Egr1 and 3 expression in response to b-glucan, an event that may selectively affect DC production of inflammatory cytokines [35]. …”

Requirement of phospholipase C‐γ2 (PLCγ2) for Dectin‐1‐induced antigen presentation and induction of T_H1/T_H17 polarization

et al. 2009

DC recognize microbial components through an array of receptors known as PRR. PRR initiate intracellular signals, which engender DC with the capacity to stimulate T-cell responses. Dectin-1 is a PRR that recognizes b-glucan, a major constituent of many fungi's outer cell wall. Here we show that Dectin-1 activates DC through phospholipase (PLC)c2 signaling. PLCc2-deficient DC were unable to expand antigen-specific T cells and induce T H 1 and T H 17 differentiation in response to b-glucan. Mechanistically, PLCc2-deficiency impaired the capacity of DC to secrete polarizing cytokines following exposure to b-glucan. Dectin-1 required PLCc2 to activate MAPK, AP-1 and NF-jB, which induce cytokine gene expression. Moreover, PLCc2 controlled Dectin-1-mediated NFAT activation and induction of NFAT-dependent genes such as IL-2, cyclooxigenase-2 and Egr transcription factors. We conclude that PLCc2 is a crucial signaling mediator that modifies DC gene expression program to activate DC responses to b-glucan-containing pathogens.Key words: DC . Dectin-1 . PLCg . Signaling Supporting Information available online Introduction DC play a key role in gathering information from the surrounding environment and initiating appropriate immune responses when needed [1,2]. Because they bridge innate and adaptive immunity, DC are equipped with a multitude of intracellular and cell surface receptors that sense microbial components and trigger host responses to invading pathogens. These receptors, collectively known as PRR, include TLR [3], C-type lectins such as Dectin-1 [4], scavenger receptors [5], the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD) proteins NOD1 and NOD2, the NOD-like receptors and the RIG-like receptors [6].Dectin-1 recognizes b-glucan, a major constituent of many fungi's outer cell wall [4,7] and triggers intracellular signals through a cytoplasmic tyrosine motif resembling the ITAM. Upon ligand binding, this motif is phosphorylated by src family kinases [8] and recruits the tyrosine kinase Syk [9], which initiates a signaling cascade leading to NF-kB [10], NFAT [11] and MAPK [12] activation. Along with Bcl-10 and MALT1, CARD9 is a crucial mediator in the ITAM-signaling pathway that links recognition of b-glucan by Dectin-1 to NF-kB and MAPK activation [13,14]. Overall, the Syk-CARD9 pathway is essential for [20,21]. Syk, together with the tyrosine kinases BTK and Src, activate PLCg through tyrosine phosphorylation [22]. Another downstream ITAM mediator, PI-3K, activates PLCg by generating phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 trisphosphate, which binds the pleckstrin homology domain of PLCg, promoting PLCg recruitment to the cell membrane. Thus, the ability of Dectin-1 to initiate an ITAM-Syk-signaling pathway [9] provides a rationale for studying the role of PLCg in Dectin-1-mediated antimicrobial responses in DC.PLCg includes two isoforms, PLCg1 and PLCg2, which hydrolyze membrane phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate into inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglicerol (DAG) [20]. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate triggers the ...

“…Moreover, because activin A expression is upregulated by hypoxia in M2(M-CSF) macrophages (Fig. 6), the activin A-PHD3 axis might also influence macrophage effector functions under low oxygen pressures, a condition that is common to solid tumors and tissues undergoing active inflammatory responses (32).…”

Modulation of macrophage polarization underlies the onset and resolution of inflammatory processes, with polarization-specific molecules being actively sought as potential diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Based on their cytokine profile upon exposure to pathogenic stimuli, human monocyte-derived macrophages generated in the presence of GM-CSF or M-CSF are considered as proinflammatory (M1) or anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages, respectively. We report in this study that the prolyl hydroxylase PHD3-encoding EGLN3 gene is specifically expressed by in vitro-generated proinflammatory M1(GM-CSF) human macrophages at the mRNA and protein level. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the expression of PHD3 in CD163+ lung macrophages under basal homeostatic conditions, whereas PHD3+ macrophages were abundantly found in tissues undergoing inflammatory responses (e.g., Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) and in tumors. In the case of melanoma, PHD3 expression marked a subset of tumor-associated macrophages that exhibit a weak (e.g., CD163) or absent (e.g., FOLR2) expression of typical M2-polarization markers. EGLN3 gene expression in proinflammatory M1(GM-CSF) macrophages was found to be activin A dependent and could be prevented in the presence of an anti-activin A-blocking Ab or inhibitors of activin receptor-like kinase receptors. Moreover, EGLN3 gene expression was upregulated in response to hypoxia only in M2(M-CSF) macrophages, and the hypoxia-mediated upregulation of EGLN3 expression was significantly impaired by activin A neutralization. These results indicate that EGLN3 gene expression in macrophages is dependent on activin A both under basal and hypoxic conditions and that the expression of the EGLN3-encoded PHD3 prolyl hydroxylase identifies proinflammatory macrophages in vivo and in vitro.
