Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 deficiency in macrophages aggravates experimental colitis by promoting M1-polarization.
Objective and design: Compelling evidence indicates that dysregulated macrophages may play a key role in driving inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-19, which is secreted by ileal enterocytes in response to bile acids, has been found to be significantly lower in IBD patients compared to healthy individuals, and is negatively correlated with the severity of diarrhea. This study aims to explore the potential impact of FGF19 signaling on macrophage polarization and its involvement in the pathogenesis of IBD.
Methods: The dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mouse colitis model was utilized to replicate the pathology of human IBD. Mice were created with a conditional knockout of FGFR4 (a specific receptor of FGF19) in myeloid cells, as well as mice that overexpressing FGF19 specifically in the liver. The severity of colitis was measured using the disease activity index (DAI) and histopathological staining. Various techniques such as Western Blotting, quantitative PCR, flow cytometry, and ELISA were employed to assess polarization and the expression of inflammatory genes.
Results: Myeloid-specific FGFR4 deficiency exacerbated colitis in the DSS mouse model. Deletion or inhibition of FGFR4 in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) skewed macrophages towards M1 polarization. Analysis of transcriptome sequencing data revealed that FGFR4 deletion in macrophages significantly increased the activity of the complement pathway, leading to an enhanced inflammatory response triggered by LPS. Mechanistically, FGFR4-knockout in macrophages promoted complement activation and inflammatory response by upregulating the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-pentraxin3 (PTX3) pathway. Additionally, FGF19 suppressed these pathways and reduced inflammatory response by activating FGFR4 in inflammatory macrophages. Liver-specific overexpression of FGF19 also mitigated inflammatory responses induced by DSS in vivo.
Conclusion: Our study highlights the significance of FGF19-FGFR4 signaling in macrophage polarization and the pathogenesis of IBD, offering a potential new therapeutic target for IBD.
