FcγRI plays a pro-inflammatory role in the immune response to Chlamydia respiratory infection by upregulating dendritic cell-related genes
Background
FcγRI, a pivotal cell surface receptor, is implicated in diverse immune responses and is ubiquitously expressed on numerous immune cells. However, its role in intracellular bacterial infections remains understudied.
Methods
Wild-type (WT) and FcγRI knockout (FcγRI-KO) mice were inoculated intranasally with a specific dose of C. muridarum. Lung tissues were harvested for transcriptome sequencing, and flow cytometry was employed to validate bioinformatics immune infiltration analysis. Differentially expressed DC-associated genes were subjected to Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses to elucidate their functions during infection. A PPI network was constructed to pinpoint crucial genes, and qPCR was utilized to confirm their expression changes. Additionally, we compared body weight, lung Chlamydia load, and pathological alterations between WT and FcγRI-KO mice post-infection to assess the effect of FcγRI on inflammation via gene regulation. Lastly, an mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA network was formulated to further probe the molecular mechanisms of FcγRI in C. muridarum infection.
Results
Post-C. muridarum infection, FcγRI-KO mice exhibited a notable decrease in DC infiltration and maturation, along with downregulated co-stimulatory molecules (CD40, CD80, CD86) in lung tissues. Differential gene analysis identified 26 differentially expressed DC-related genes implicated in DC proliferation, migration, and inflammatory responses. KEGG analysis revealed their close association with key immune pathways. The PPI network delineated two modules, with the top six genes in the pivotal cluster 1 (Ccl4, Il6, Ccl3, Ptgs2, Il 1α, Il7) being significantly downregulated in FcγRI-KO mice. A ceRNA network encompassing 12 miRNAs and 37 lncRNAs regulating four key genes (Ptgs2, Il1α, Il6, Il7) was also constructed.
Conclusions
In C. muridarum respiratory infections, FcγRI facilitates DC infiltration and maturation, upregulates six pro-inflammatory genes (Ccl4, Il6, Ccl3, Ptgs2, Il1α, Il7), and exhibits a pro-inflammatory role. A key ceRNA network was formulated to unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms.

International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
