Oligodendrocyte protein Qki activates lipid metabolism to maintain adult myelin
HSP70-containing exosomes mitigate antibiotic-induced damage to auditory hair cellsAminoglycoside antibiotics (AAs) can damage and kill the hair cells of the inner ear, leading to irreversible hearing loss. In animal models, the heat shock protein HSP70 appears to reduce AA-mediated toxicity in hair cells and preserve hearing through a paracrine mechanism. Andrew Breglio, Lindsey May,
Melanie Barzik, and colleagues took a closer look at this protective response, revealing that glia-like supporting cells in the inner ear release exosomes that carry HSP70 to hair cells. Purified exosomes containing HSP70 attenuated AA-induced hair cell death by interacting with TLR4, a receptor for
HSP70, on hair cells. In the accompanying Commentary, Ulrich Müller describes how the elucidation of this paracrine signaling mechanism highlights targeting of both exosomes and the HSP70/TLR4 pathway as potential therapeutic approaches for preventing AA-induced hearing loss.

In multiple sclerosis, neurological symptoms are linked to loss of myelin, a lipid- and protein-based structure that forms an insulating sheath around nerves to support the propagation of electrical impulses. Myelin is produced by glial cells in the CNS called oligo-dendrocytes and appears to be under rigorous metabolic control, with recent evidence suggesting that its maintenance may critically depend on functional lipid metabolism. In this issue of the JCI, Xin Zhou et al. demonstrate the essential role of the oligodendrocyte protein Qki in myelin homeostasis and possibly the pathogenesis of demyelinating disease. In adult mice, oligodendrocyte- specific Qki depletion led to rapid demyelination and gradual neurological deficits that were linked to reduction of myelin lipid species. These effects were mitigated by high-fat diet. The study determined that Qki is a coactivator of the PPARβ-RXRα complex, which regulates lipid metabolic gene transcription, and further revealed that PPARβ/RXR agonists also alleviated the effects of Qki depletion. The findings highlight the importance of continuous lipid synthesis for preserving myelin integrity in the adult brain, an insight with probable implications for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating diseases. The cover image depicts myelin sheaths (in green) with active lipid supply from oligodendrocytes and an oligodendrocyte (in yellow) without proper lipid supply. Image credit: Ella Maru Studio.

Elp1 loss impairs retrograde NGF signaling and sympathetic neuron survivalFamilial dysautonomia is a heritable form of sympathetic nervous system dysfunction affecting multiple organ systems. The disorder is linked to mutations in ELP1, encoding Elp1, a scaffolding protein in the highly conserved transcriptional Elongator complex. Warren Tourtellotte and colleagues explored the function of Elp1 in sympathetic neurons and identified its essential role in retrograde nerve growth factor (NGF) signaling. The study details an NGF- dependent mechanism by which Elp1 regulates Shp1 phosphatase activity to maintain TrkA receptor phosphorylation, thereby promoting sympathetic target tissue innervation and neuron survival. In an Elp1-deficient animal model, inhibiting Shp1 phospha-tase rescued sympathetic target tissue innervation (see the associated image) and neuron loss, demonstrating the mechanism by which loss of Elp1 leads to sympathetic nervous system dysfunction in familial dysautonomia. In the accompanying Commentary, David Kaplan and William Mobley outline the insights into how neuronal cells sustain innervation to remote targets.

During an acute inflammatory response, activated neutrophils infiltrate local tissues by breaching endothelial cells that line postcapillary venules through transendothelial migration (TEM). Endothelial cells also mediate vascular permeability to macromolecules, but this process is regulated independently, and whether it influences neutrophil trafficking is unknown. Charlotte Owen-Woods, Régis Joulia, and colleagues now reveal that increased vascular permeability to proteins undermines neutrophil trafficking, promoting reversal of neutrophil TEM through the endothelial cell layer. The researchers demonstrated that increased permeability permits chemokines to diffuse from the site of inflammation into the bloodstream at a level sufficient to lure neutrophils back into the venular lumen. A newly designed labeling approach allowed visualization of activated neutrophils undergoing reverse TEM (see the associated images) and tracked them to distant organs.
Alex Marki and Klaus Ley’s accompanying Commentary posits that these findings may explain why tissue injury sometimes occurs in remote organs following localized tissue inflammation.

The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has since spread across the globe. Initial studies of laboratory-confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2–induced coronavirus disease (COVID-19) suggested that disease severity was linked to cytokine storm. Guang Chen, Di Wu, Wei Guo, Yong Cao, et al. performed a retrospective analysis on 21 patients with COVID-19 who were classified as having either severe (n = 11) or moderate (n = 10) disease. Nearly all patients exhibited decreases in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and decreases were more pronounced in patients with severe disease. The study also noted that severe COVID-19 is accompanied by a cytokine storm, with elevated levels of plasma IL-2R, IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α, while IFN-γ production by CD4+ cells decreased. Savannah Pederson and Ya-Chi Ho’s accompanying Commentary points out that these immunological correlates for severe COVID-19 may provide important clinical insights into disease pathogenesis as well as highlight potential strategies to combat this emerging disease.
Obesity remains a rising health problem worldwide, and pharmacological approaches that enhance energy expenditure may be a powerful tool in combating obesity-related metabolic diseases. In this issue, two clinical studies explore the potential for mirabegron, a β3-adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) agonist currently approved for overactive bladder, in treating metabolic disease. The β3-AR is expressed on urinary bladder, gallbladder, and adipose tissue, and studies in rodents support its positive effects on thermo-genesis and glucose tolerance. Alana O’Mara, James Johnson, and colleagues observed that chronic
mirabegron treatment increased metabolically active brown adipose tissue (see the accompanying image), thereby enhancing resting energy expenditure and improving insulin sensitivity in 14 healthy women. Brian Finlin, Hasiyet Memetimin, and colleagues reported that mirabegron treatment improved glucose homeostasis and produced favorable changes in both white adipose tissue and muscle in 13 subjects with obesity. Jeffrey Flier’s accompanying Commentary speculates that the results of these studies may renew interest in developing β3-AR–targeting therapeutics for the treatment of metabolic disease.

H. pylori protein impairs apoptotic responses in gastric epithelial cellsOver half of the world’s population is infected with Helicobacter pylori, a stomach pathogen that increases risk of gastric cancer. Manikandan Palrasu and colleagues investigated the host and bacterial factors influencing tumorigenesis resulting from H. pylori infection, focusing on the host protein Siva1. H. pylori infection led to downregulation of Siva1 in human and mouse cells. This downregulation occurred in a strain-dependent manner, and more robust downregulation was observed after infection with tumorigenic strain 7.13 compared with its parental nontumorigenic strain B128. These differences were attributed to strain 7.13’s enhanced delivery of the bacterial protein CagA. CagA drove increased degradation of Siva1, leading to attenuated gastric epithelial cell apoptosis in response to infection. In the accompanying Commentary, José Sáenz and Jason Mills discuss how the discovery that Siva1 loss permits survival of gastric epithelial cells illuminates a checkpoint in the progression to gastric cancer.

Piezo1 activates TRPV4-mediated calcium signaling to trigger pressure-induced pancreatitisSurgery, trauma, and gallstones can all produce acute increases in pancreatic pressure that lead to pancreatitis. Activation of the mechanosensitive calcium-permeable channel Piezo1 is an initial trigger of pressure-induced pancreatitis, but the link between Piezo1-mediated increases in intracellular calcium and pathological outcomes remains unclear. Sandip Swain and colleagues reveal that activation of Piezo1 in pancreatic acinar cells triggered the opening of TRPV4 channels, producing sustained elevation of intracellular calcium that provoked mitochondrial depolarization and cell death. Mechanistically, Piezo activation stimulated TRPV4 opening via increases in the phospholipase PLA2, and this 1 interaction occurred independently of the pancreatitis-linked peptides cerulein and CCK. In the accompanying Commentary, Fred Gorelick and Michael Nathanson highlight these insights into how Piezo1- and TRPV4-dependent calcium signals contribute to the pathogenesis of pancreatitis.

Over half of graft losses following kidney transplantation are the result of chronic rejection, which conventional immunosuppressive therapies are unable to prevent. Cellular approaches may better control allograft rejection, with fewer side effects, and preclinical models suggest that modified immune cells (MICs) from the graft donor can induce donor-specific immunosuppression in the recipient. In a phase I trial, Christian Morath, Anita Schmitt, and colleagues examined the safety of intravenous administration of donor-derived MICs to ten kidney recipients prior to transplantation. The study determined that these MIC infusions were well tolerated and were not associated with any adverse events. Moreover, the patients achieved hyporesponsiveness specific to the donor and displayed a substantial increase in regulatory B lymphocytes. Sam Kant and Daniel Brennan highlight the study’s supportive data for further development of MICs as an antirejection therapy in the accompanying Commentary.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T viewpoint
Examining the posttreatment complications of chronic Lyme diseaseLyme disease is a tick-borne illness that begins with an acute infection but can persist for months or years, causing long-term neurologic and cardiac abnormalities and arthritis. Acute Lyme disease is usually cleared by oral antibiotics, but later manifestations of disease are more difficult to treat successfully. If oral antibiotic therapy fails to resolve chronic Lyme disease symptoms, patients are started on intravenous antibiotics; however, some patients develop disabling neurologic or arthritic postantibiotic syndromes, complicating the clinical decision-making process. In a Viewpoint, Allen Steere makes a case for and against treating patients with chronic Lyme disease using long-term antibiotics. His discussion weighs the outcomes of clinical trials and preclinical studies and presents theories for the immune origin of postantibiotic syndromes.

Leveraging neuroimmune mechanisms to control chronic painMillions of adults worldwide live with chronic pain that is often poorly managed by existing therapeutic approaches. In this issue, Thomas Buchheit, Yul Huh, William Maixner, Jianguo Cheng, and Ru-Rong Ji describe a relatively new concept in treating chronic pain. Regenerative pain medicine seeks to promote analgesia by targeting the neuroimmune mechanisms underlying pain perception and pain sensitization. Cellular and exosome-based therapies targeting immune mediators of chronic pain are currently being explored in clinical trials. These include systemic or local injection of platelet-rich plasma, monocyte-derived cytokines, and delivery of pro-resolving or antiinflammatory molecules (see the accompanying image). In their Review, Thomas Buchheit et al. describe the major clinical and preclinical advances in regenerative pain medicine as well as future questions and directions for the field.

The NET effect on macrophages in atherosclerosisNeutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are proinflammatory and have been linked to a variety of disease states, including atherosclerosis and diabetes. Resolution of atherosclerosis is impaired in patients with diabetes, potentially due to increased NET-associated plaque inflammation. Tatjana Josefs, Tessa Barrett, and colleagues performed transcriptional profiling of plaque macrophages from NET+ and NET– areas of atherosclerotic Ldlr–/– mice and determined that NETs associated with an elevated inflammatory phenotype. In nondiabetic mice, NETs decreased during atherosclerosis resolution; however, plaques
persisted in diabetic animals and were associated with increased inflammation and impaired resolution. DNase1 treatment of diabetic Ldlr–/– mice decreased NET content and macrophage inflammation within plaques, thereby promoting resolution of atherosclerosis in response to lipid lowering. Together, these results provide strong experimental evidence that NETs are a driver of increased cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes. The cover image shows the presence of NETs (colocalization of MPO, red), H3Cit (pink), and Ly6G (green) in atherosclerotic plaques in an area also positive for macrophages.

B-type natriuretic peptide contributes to septic hypotension
Elevated levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are associated with myocardial dysfunction in sepsis, which may be due to the effect of natriuretic signaling on cardiac output and blood pressure. However, evidence of a causal role for BNP in septic hypotension is lacking, and the mechanism driving increased BNP production in sepsis is poorly understood. Matthew Hoffman and colleagues used a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of sepsis to investigate the requirement for BNP in sepsis-related hypotension. Deletion of Nppb, which encodes BNP, protected mice from a sepsis-induced decrease in end-diastolic volume (see the accompanying image) and preserved cardiac output. Treatment with a BNP-neutralizing antibody had a similar effect. BNP expression was directly driven by c-Jun binding to the Nppb promoter and could be prevented by pharmacological inhibition of JNK. Furthermore, both JNK inhibition and BNP neutralization improved survival in the CLP model. These findings advance JNK and BNP as potential therapeutic targets for septic hypotension.

IMPDH inhibitor mizoribine shows potential for tuberous sclerosis complexThe nucleotide synthesis enzyme inosine-5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) has long been a target for immunosuppression, leading to the development of multiple IMPDH inhibitors in current clinical use. Recent studies demonstrated that blocking IMPDH may also have antitumor effects, suggesting that drugs with approved safety profiles could be repurposed as cancer therapy. Alexander Valvezan and colleagues compared the effect of two clinically used IMPDH inhibitors in mouse models of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). One of the inhibitors, mizoribine, selectively induced apoptosis in Tsc2–/– cells in vitro. In a xenograft tumor model, mizoribine blocked tumor growth to the same extent as rapamycin and continued to slow tumor growth even after treatment ended (see the accompanying image).
Notably, the FDA-approved IMPDH inhibitor mycophenolate mofetil did not similarly block tumor growth. These findings support the pursuit of future studies applying mizoribine to the treatment of TSC.

Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging pathogen that exhibits versatile multidrug resistance, thus opportunistic infections with A. baumannii have a very high mortality rate. To model the disease, Sílvia Pires and colleagues intranasally infected mice with A. baumannii and noted that female mice had increased susceptibility to pneumonia, increased lethality, and greater bacterial counts than male mice. Treatment of male mice with 17β-estradiol exacerbated the pathological response to A. baumannii infection, although estradiol did not directly affect bacterial growth in vitro. While depletion of neutrophils and alveolar macrophages increased bacterial burden in both sexes, alveolar macrophage depletion disproportionately increased the bacterial burden in female mice, associated with changes in expression of mitochondrial genes, and reduced ATP production. This study reveals a metabolic function of alveolar macrophages in controlling infection in female mice and highlights the importance of modeling inflammatory diseases in both sexes.

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is a widespread opportunistic infection, but the host immunological responses to infection are poorly defined. In a model of pulmonary K. pneumoniae infection, Naoki Iwanaga and colleagues determined that Rag2–/–Il2rg–/– mice, which lack T, B, NK, and innate lymphoid cells, are more susceptible to infection than WT mice. However, Rag2–/– mice were not more susceptible compared with WT animals, indicating that the adaptive immune system does not determine infectivity to primary infection. Single-cell RNA-Seq of infected Rag2–/– mice revealed recruitment of IL-22+ ILC3 cells and IFN-γ+ NK cells to the lung that were critical to host resistance. The transplant rejection inhibitor FK506
decreased recruitment of the IL-22+ and IFN-γ+ populations to the lung, rendering WT mice susceptible to infection. Finally, administration of recombinant IL-22 reduced bacterial burden in FK506-treated and Rag2–/–Il2rg–/– mice. These findings support the development of host-directed immunotherapy as an adjunct treatment to antibiotics.

Pulsatile insulin secretion alteration in humans with TCF7L2 alleleMost of the genetic variants that predispose to type 2 diabetes are thought to influence β cell function and insulin secretion. One of these is the T allele in TCF7L2, which associates with a subtle defect in insulin secretion. To determine whether abnormalities in insulin pulse characteristics could precede the development of hyperglycemia, Marcello Laurenti and colleagues studied nondiabetic individuals who were homozygous for the diabetes-associated allele at rs7903146 in the TCF7L2 locus. Peripheral C-peptide concentra-tions were used to deconvolve pulsatile insulin secretion without necessitating hepatic vein catheterization. Subjects in the TT genotype group exhibited disorderly insulin pulses during fasting. Moreover, in response to hyperglycemia, the dispersion of insulin pulse frequencies decreased in the CC genotype group but did not change in the TT group. Therefore, altered insulin pulse characteristics may be a biomarker for impaired β cell function that is detectable prior to the onset of overt glucose dysregulation.

GLP-2R deficiency activates hepatic stellate cells and exacerbates murine steatohepatitisThe hormone glucagon-like peptide–2 (GLP-2) exerts proliferative and cytoprotective actions in the small bowel. The GLP-2 analog teduglutide is used clinically to decrease the requirement for parenteral nutrition in patients with short-bowel syndrome (SBS). However, the GLP-2 receptor (GLP-2R) is also detected outside the gut, raising issues of safety with GLP-2R agonists. While SBS patients are at elevated risk of hepatic steatosis and liver failure, the mechanistic effects of GLP-2 on the liver remain poorly understood. Shai Fuchs and colleagues have now shown that teduglutide treatment does not alter hepatic metabolism or inflammation in mice fed a high-fat, high-fructose, high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet.
However, GLP-2R–deficient mice exhibited increased hepatic Oil Red O staining (see accompanying image) and exacerbated hepatic inflammation. GLP-2R localized specifically to the hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), and GLP-2R–deficient mice displayed signs of HSC activation. These data indicate a role for GLP-2R in hepatic adaptation to nutrient excess and link GLP-2R signaling to HSC activity.
