Filip Swirski is a Polish-Canadian-American scientist and educator serving as the Arthur and Janet C. Ross Professor of Medicine, Cardiology and Professor of Radiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and is the Director of the Cardiovascular Research Institute. He is also a member of the Biomedical Engineering Innovation (BMEI), the Marc and Jennifer Lipschultz Precision Immunology Institute (PrIISM), and The Friedman Brain Institutes (FBI) at Mount Sinai. His research partly focuses on innate and inflammatory mechanisms in cardiovascular disease. He is known for his work in cardioimmunology and notably for linking atherosclerosis with blood monocytosis.[1]

Education and career

Swirski earned his Bachelor of Arts and Science specializing in biochemistry and a Ph.D. (FOCUS ON) in immunology at McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada. He received an honorary MS from Harvard Medical School in 2020 for accomplishing a full professorship. He was a professor at the Center for Systems Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital and at Harvard Medical School.[2][3]

Research and scientific contributions

Swirski focuses on understanding how leukocytes shape and are shaped by inflammation. His research uses in vivo models of acute and chronic inflammation relevant to cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, infectious, and metabolic diseases.[4][3] His writings reflect translational and fundamental cardiovascular and neurodegenerative science research, including cell development, mind-marrow communication, and function.[5][6]

Novel findings

Monocytes and macrophages

  • Swirski described that increased blood monocyte levels, otherwise known as monocytosis, develop in response to hypercholesterolemia[1] and is progressive and proportional to disease severity.[7][8]

Lifestyle and brain-body communication

  • Swirski explores how cardiovascular health is affected by diet, sleep, exercise, and other lifestyle patterns. He showed that sleep limits monocyte production, thereby protecting against atherosclerosis.[11][12][13]
  • Showed that sleep fragmentation increases atherogenesis in a mouse model and demonstrated that sleep disruption increases myelopoiesis in the bone marrow, leading to monocytosis and larger atherosclerotic lesions. The results yielded that the marrow contains a pre-neutrophil that regulates monocyte production via hypocretin-dependent CSF-1. Hypocretin, a wake-promoting hormone in the hypothalamus, communicates with bone marrow and regulates leukocyte production. This demonstrates a brain-marrow axis involving a secreted neuropeptide.[13]
  • He demonstrated that sleep interruption increases the rate of hematopoiesis in the bone marrow, which accelerates atherosclerosis and neutral drift.[14]
  • Showed that IL-3 is a crucial communicator between glial cells (microglia) located throughout the brain and spinal cord, and astrocytes. Using mouse models of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), data showed that IL-3 protects against AD by programming microglia.[15]
  • Under psychological stress, neurons from different brain regions control the migration of immune cells in the body.[16] Mice under stress were more prone to higher inflammation and death in response to infection with influenza and SARS-CoV-2.[17]
  • Fasting in mice prompts monocytes to re-enter the bone marrow, which increases their lifespan. This process is mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA).
    • Upon re-feeding, distinct monocytes mobilize back to the blood, altering the host's response to infection. The underlying study showed the body can limit energy expenditure when nutrition is scarce. Without it, the body slows down metabolic expenditure, limiting production and preserving—and thus extending—the lifespan of already-made, short-lived monocytes.[18]

Immunometabiolic communication

  • Swirski identified an on-demand mechanism by which transient monocyte-derived macrophages dispose of erythrocytes and recycle iron.[19]
  • Identified a population of intraepithelial T cells that are strategically positioned in the gut that modulate systemic dietary metabolism. Without these, mice were metabolically hyperactive, and resisted the development of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia/atherosclerosis.[20]
  • Showed that cholesterol sensors called Liver X Receptors were important in developing and functioning T cells in the thymus, the lymphoid gland where T cells are produced.[21]

Influence of hematopoiesis growth factors

  • Swirski showed the Influence of growth factors in disease, where he described a GM-CSF-producing B cell that protects against sepsis and pneumonia.[22]
  • Demonstrated that the growth factor interleukin 3 (IL-3) aggravates sepsis by eliciting a cytokine storm, heightening inflammation leading to death.[23]

Honors and awards

Partial list:

  • Clarivate Highly Cited Investigators[25]
  • Outstanding Investigator Award from the NHLBI (2016-2022)[6]
  • Jeffrey M. Hoeg Award from the American Heart Association (2017)[6][27]
  • Martin Prize for Fundamental Research Howard M. Goodman Fellowship (2016)[6]

Publications

As of 2022, Swirski is credited with 31,791 citations and has an h-index of 95.[28] His most cited contributions to date are on heart infraction, ventricular remodeling, inflammation, stem cell niche, hematopoiesis and hematopoietic stem cells.[29] Between 2018 and 2019, articles reportedly focused most on inflammation (43.72%), bone marrow (17.21%) and immune system (17.21%).[30]
