Abstract Background Inflammation is a hallmark of inflammatory bowel disease and alterations in tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) metabolism have been identified as major regulators of immune cell phenotype during inflammation and hypoxia. The TCA cycle metabolite, itaconate, is produced by the enzyme aconitate decarboxylase 1 (Acod1) and is highly upregulated during classical macrophage activation and during experimental colitis. Itaconate and cell permeable derivatives have robust anti-inflammatory effects on macrophages, therefore we hypothesized that Acod1-produced itaconate has a protective, anti-inflammatory effect during experimental colitis. Methods and Results Wild type (WT) control and Acod1-/- mice were administered 3% Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS) in water for 7 days to induce experimental colitis. After DSS was discontinued, Acod1-/- mice had significantly reduced body weight recovery with increased macroscopic disease severity, and upon dissection had decreased colon length and more severe inflammation. To determine if myeloid cells are the critical Acod1/itaconate-producing cell types, we generated myeloid-specific Acod1 deficient mice, however no differences in weight loss, colon length or inflammatory gene expression were detected compared to WT controls. To test whether supplementation with exogenous itaconate could ameliorate colitis, WT mice were treated with the cell-permeable form of itaconate, dimethyl itaconate (DMI). Administration of DMI significantly improved recovery after 7 days of DSS treatment and significantly reduced inflammatory gene expression in the colon. Conclusion Our data suggest that Acod1-produced itaconate has an important role in the regulation of inflammation during experimental colitis. Although myeloid cells have been thought to be major producers of Acod1 and itaconate, our data indicate that other cell types are involved. These results highlight the importance of this immunometabolic pathway and suggest that preservation or enhancement of this pathway with natural metabolites or metabolite derivatives could have beneficial effects during colitis.

Objective: HDL (high-density lipoprotein) infusion reduces atherosclerosis in animal models and is being evaluated as a treatment in humans. Studies have shown either anti- or proinflammatory effects of HDL in macrophages, and there is no consensus on the underlying mechanisms. Here, we interrogate the effects of HDL on inflammatory gene expression in macrophages. Approach and Results: We cultured bone marrow–derived macrophages, treated them with reconstituted HDL or HDL isolated from APOA1 Tg ;Ldlr −/− mice, and challenged them with lipopolysaccharide. Transcriptional profiling showed that HDL exerts a broad anti-inflammatory effect on lipopolysaccharide-induced genes and proinflammatory effect in a subset of genes enriched for chemokines. Cholesterol removal by POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-glycero-3-phosphocholine) liposomes or β-methylcyclodextrin mimicked both pro- and anti-inflammatory effects of HDL, whereas cholesterol loading by POPC/cholesterol-liposomes or acetylated LDL (low-density lipoprotein) before HDL attenuated these effects, indicating that these responses are mediated by cholesterol efflux. While early anti-inflammatory effects reflect reduced TLR (Toll-like receptor) 4 levels, late anti-inflammatory effects are due to reduced IFN (interferon) receptor signaling. Proinflammatory effects occur late and represent a modified endoplasmic reticulum stress response, mediated by IRE1a (inositol-requiring enzyme 1a)/ASK1 (apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1)/p38 MAPK (p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase) signaling, that occurs under conditions of extreme cholesterol depletion. To investigate the effects of HDL on inflammatory gene expression in myeloid cells in atherosclerotic lesions, we injected reconstituted HDL into Apoe −/− or Ldlr −/− mice fed a Western-type diet. Reconstituted HDL infusions produced anti-inflammatory effects in lesion macrophages without any evidence of proinflammatory effects. Conclusions: Reconstituted HDL infusions in hypercholesterolemic atherosclerotic mice produced anti-inflammatory effects in lesion macrophages suggesting a beneficial therapeutic effect of HDL in vivo.
