Presenting Author: Sriram Satyavolu Abstract:
Preterm neonates have disrupted myeloid cell activation and aging. KLF2 inhibits myeloid cell activation by repressing NF-kB, which controls NLRP3 transcription. In our myeloid-KLF2 deleted (MKO) murine model, postnatal day (P) 4 pups have higher LPS-induced mortality than controls but 100% survival in both groups after LPS at P12. P4 and P12 reflect preterm and term physiology, respectively. We aimed to to determine the role of neutrophil-NLRP3 and neutrophil aging in LPS-induced mortality in P4 MKO pups. Serum IL-1β was measured 4h post-LPS injection. BM neutrophils were treated with LPS and nigericin for NLRP3 protein expression in lysate and IL-1b levels in the supernatant. Daily MCC950 injections (P1-P4) were used to inhibit NLRP3 before LPS injection on P4. BM neutrophils were treated with LPS ex vivo and flow-sorted to examine CXCR4/CD62L expression. MKO pups have increased serum IL-1β, neutrophil-NLRP3 expression, and IL-1b release, P4>P12. In vivo NLRP3 inhibition rescued survival in P4 MKO and controls. P4 MKO have reduced BM and higher circulating neutrophils. MKO BM neutrophils are more aged (CD62Llo), but CXCR4lo, affecting aged neutrophil homing to the BM. Myeloid-KLF2 loss increases LPS mortality via NLRP3 activation in P4 pups. It accelerates neutrophil aging, but leads to persistence of aged neutrophils in the circulation by reducing CXCR4 expression. Future mechanistic studies will focus on KLF2's regulation of NLRP3 and CXCR4 expression at P4 and P12.
