doi: 10.1038/s41598-018-23808-2

Figure Lengend Snippet: Idelalisib impairs human neutrophil functions in vitro . PMN from healthy human donors were isolated and preincubated with idelalisib (1 µg/ml) or vehicle (DMSO) for 30 min at 37 °C. Cells were activated with indicated stimulus (anti-TREM-1 mAb, isotype matched control mAb, LPS at 1 µg/ml) and neutrophil activation was detected as oxidative burst kinetics ( A,B ) for 3 h. One out of five experiments is depicted. Further samples were activated for 1 h at 37 °C and analyzed by flow cytometry. Degranulation was detected as enhanced surface expression of ( C ) CD11b (n = 5) and ( D ) CD66b (n = 5) surface expression and ( E ) CD62L shedding (n = 4). For IL-8 release cells were incubated with indicated stimuli for 16 h and ( G ) IL-8 was measured out of cell supernatants by standard ELISA (n = 3). (*) indicates a significant difference (p < 0.05) by two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s posttest. Mean plus SD is depicted.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Idelalisib impairs calcium flux and TREM-1 signaling in neutrophils in vitro . PMN from healthy human donors were isolated, preincubated with idelalisib 1 µg/ml and loaded with FLUO-3/AM (both at 37 °C for 30 min) for calcium flux assay. ( A – C ) Fluorescence signals were detected by flow cytometry for 30 s. For PMN activation indicated stimuli (( A ) anti-TREM-1, ( B ) isotype matched control mAb, ( C ) ionomycin) was added. For cell stimulation via TREM-1 receptor (and isotype control) cross-linking was performed with a secondary antibody again after 30 s; fluorescence signals were gained for further 5 min. Ionomycin served as positive control. One out of three experiments is depicted. ( D ) For protein analysis PMN were activated with indicated stimuli (anti-TREM-1 antibody, matched control mAb, LPS) for 30 min after preincubated with idelalisib as described above. Proteins were extracted with an urea-based lysis buffer, SDS PAGE was performed and proteins were blotted by a semi-dry process. Protein activation was analyzed by staining of phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated proteins. ß-actin served as loading control. One out of three experiments is depicted.

doi: 10.1101/674218

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) SPR between rmCIRP and rmTREM-1. Anti-his Ab was used to capture rmCIRP-his. rmTREM-1 was injected as an analyte in concentrations of 0 to 500 nM. (B) 1.5 × 10 4 RAW264.7 cells were treated with rmCIRP (5 μg/ml) at 4°C for 10 min, fixed in a nonpermeabilized fashion, and stained with rabbit anti-mouse CIRP Ab, goat anti-mouse TREM-1 Ab, goat anti-CD11b Ab, Cy5-conjugated AffiniPure donkey anti-goat IgG, and Cy3-conjugated AffiniPure F(ab’)2 fragment donkey anti-rabbit IgG. Confocal microscopy images were obtained at using a Zeiss LSM880 confocal microscope equipped with a 63× objective. Images were analyzed and quantified by using the ZenBlue software. ( C) After the staining protocol described in (B) , cell associated fluorescence was measured on Biotek Synergy Neo2 at 566 nm upon excitation at 488 nm ( E 1), at 681 nm after excitation at 630 nm ( E 2), and at 681 nm after excitation at 488 nm ( E 3). The transfer of fluorescence was calculated as FRET units. FRET unit = [ E 3 both − E 3 none ] − [( E 3 Cy5 − E 3 none ) × ( E 2 both / E 2 Cy5 )] − [( E 3 Cy3 − E 3 none ) × ( E 1 both / E 1 Cy3 )]. Data are expressed as means ± SE obtained from three independent experiments, n=9/group. Groups compared by unpaired t-test (*p<0.01 vs. CD11b). (D) A total of 1 × 10 6 /ml RAW264.7 cells were stimulated with rmCIRP (1 µg/ml) for various times. Extracted proteins were immunoprecipitated by using anti-DAP12 Ab, followed by Western blotting using pTyr (4G10) and DAP12 Ab. Extracted proteins obtained from rmCIRP (1 µg/ml for various times) stimulated RAW264.7 cells (1 × 10 6 /ml) were subjected to Western blotting using pSyk, Syk, and β–actin Abs. Representative western blots for phosphotyrosine (4G10), DAP12, pSyk, Syk, and β–actin are shown. (E, F) Each blot was quantified by densitometric analysis. Phosphotyrosine (pDAP12) and pSyk expression in each sample was normalized to DAP12 or Syk or β-actin expression and the mean values of 0 min of rmCIRP-treated groups were standardized as one for comparison. Data are expressed as means ± SE (n=6 samples/group). The groups were compared by one-way ANOVA and SNK method (*p<0.05 vs. rmCIRP at 0 min). (G) RAW264.7 cells were transfected with TREM-1 siRNA, control siRNA, underwent mock transfection, or no transfection. Cells were then stimulated with PBS control or 1μg/ml rmCIRP. After 6 h, TNF-α in the supernatant was analyzed by ELISA. Data are expressed as means ± SE (n=3 samples/group). Multiple groups were compared by one-way ANOVA and Tukey method (*p<0.05 vs. respective PBS group; # p<0.01 vs. rmCIRP-treated non-transfected cells). (H) RAW264.7 cells (1×10 4 cells/ml) were plated in 96-well culture plate and stimulated with PBS or rmCIRP (1 µg/ml). Simultaneously cells were treated with various doses of LP-17 or LP-17-Sc1. After 24 h, TNF-α in culture supernatants at protein level were measured by ELISA. Data are expressed as means ± SE obtained from five independent experiments (n=3-10 wells/group). The groups were compared by one-way ANOVA and SNK method (*p<0.05 vs. PBS; #p<0.05 vs. rmCIRP+PBS).

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Partial amino acid sequence of murine CIRP highlighting an area of similarity between murine PGLYRP1. Three peptides (M1, M2, and M3) are highlighted from within the CIRP sequence. RAW264.7 cells (1×10 4 cells/ml) were plated in 96-well culture plate and treated with 10 µg/ml of peptides M1, M2, or M3 for 30 min. Cells were then stimulated with rmCIRP (1 µg/ml). After 24 h, TNF-α in culture supernatants at protein level were measured by ELISA. Data are expressed as means ± SE obtained from two independent experiments (n=6 wells/group). The groups were compared by one-way ANOVA and SNK method (*p<0.05 vs. unstimulated cells and #p<0.05 vs. rmCIRP-treated cells). (B) SPR between rmTREM-1 and M3.

Multiple groups were compared by one-way ANOVA and Tukey method (*p<0.05 vs CD11b + rmCIRP, #p<0.05 vs TREM-1 + rmCIRP). (D) To activate RAW264.7 cells through TREM-1, 96-well flat bottom plates were pre-coated with 20 μg/ml of an agonist anti-TREM-1 mAb overnight at 37°C. The wells were washed with sterile PBS and 5 × 10 4 cells/well were plated. Prior to plating, cells were premixed with either PBS control, M3 (10 μg/ml) or scramble M3-Sc1 (10 μg/ml) for 30 min. After plating, TNF-α production was measured in the culture supernatants after an additional 24 h of incubation. Data are expressed as means ± SE. The experiment was performed two independent times with n=5 wells per group. Multiple groups were compared by one-way ANOVA and Tukey method (*p<0.05 vs. uncoated; #p<0.05 vs. TREM-1 Ab + PBS).

doi: 10.1101/674218

Figure Lengend Snippet: Sepsis and I/R causes an increased release of eCIRP. As the endogenous ligand eCIRP recognizes TREM-1 and activates intracellular signaling molecules DAP12 and Syk, leading to increased expression of pro-inflammatory mediators that cause excessive inflammation and remote tissue injury. eCIRP increases TREM-1 expression, possibly via positive feedback induction. A small peptide M3 derived from human eCIRP abrogates eCIRP-TREM-1 interaction, thereby leading to decreased inflammation and attenuated ALI. I/R, ischemia and reperfusion; DAP12, DNAX activation protein of 12kDa; ALI, acute lung injury.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2 Iluzanebart is a specific agonist of human TREM2. A hTREM1-HEK. In a HEK293T cell line expressing hTREM1 and hDAP12, an anti-TREM1 antibody (green) stimulated phosphorylation of SYK after 45-min treatment, whereas iluzanebart (blue) did not (n = 3 independent experiments), confirming that iluzanebart is a TREM2-specific agonist with no cross-reactivity to the related TREM1 receptor. B TREM2 -/- iMGL. Iluzanebart (blue) does not stimulate pSYK in TREM2−/− human iPSC-derived microglia. Concanavalin A (green) was used as a positive control demonstrating that TREM2−/− cells can activate pSYK in response to TREM2-independent activators. Data shown is normalized to IgG control after 5 min exposure (n = 2 independent experiments) and reported as % of maximal activation. C iPSC Derived Human iMGL. Treatment of human iPSC microglia with iluzanebart reduced levels of soluble TREM2 levels after 24 h, compared to IgG control which had no effect (n = 2 independent experiments)
