Tissue-encoded Design Principles of Host Defense
Inflammatory diseases have been rising in incidence over the past few decades and are a result of inappropriate activation of tissue-resident immunity. This inappropriate activation can be derived from any number of cell types, including inputs from non-canonical immune cells such as epithelial cells. In this thesis, we investigated tissue metabolism and inflammation across different temporal and spatial scales using a unique combination of metabolomics, mathematical modeling, metabolic assays, and chemical characterization. Our aim was to protect against inflammation-induced tissue damage and improve clinical outcomes. Thus, we studied A) chronic local tissue inflammation using a colitis model (Chapter 1) and B) acute systemic inflammation using a sepsis model (Chapter 2). In each disease, we studied changes in tissue architecture and the resulting cross-talk among cell types in the microenvironment. In colitis, we found that upon release during tissue damage, IL-18 launches a unique metabolic program in macrophages that 1) exhibits bistable and hysteretic behavior, 2) provides protective memory against inflammatory challenge, and 3) relies on positive feedback with intestinal epithelial cells to maintain the program. In our mouse model of bacterial sepsis, we performed liver tissue metabolomics. We identified a class of metabolites called branched-chain ketoacids (BCKAs) that are released during systemic inflammation and serve as endogenous antioxidants that neutralize extracellular peroxides. BCKA supplementation thus reduces tissue damage and increases survival rates by more than double. Through this thesis, we show tissue-intrinsic mechanisms that 1) organize a positive feedback loops among cells to establish protective memory against inflammation and 2) secrete endogenous antioxidants to limit pathogenic extracellular oxidants induced by inflammation without quenching bactericidal intracellular oxidants.
