Foxa2 programs Th2-cell mediated innate immunity in the developing lung.

ABSTRACT: Deletion of the gene encoding Foxa2, a winged helix transcription factor selectively expressed in respiratory epithelial cells, caused spontaneous pulmonary eosinophilic inflammation and goblet cell metaplasia. Loss of Foxa2 induced the recruitment and activation of myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) and Th2 cells in the lung, and was associated with the increased production of T helper 2 (Th2) cytokines and chemokines. mRNA microarray analysis demonstrated that deletion of Foxa2 induced the expression of a number of mRNAs regulating pulmonary dendritic cell activation, Th2 mediated inflammation, and goblet cell differentiation. The spontaneous pulmonary inflammation and goblet cell metaplasia caused by loss of Foxa2 was inhibited by treatment of newborn Foxa2â??/â?? mice with monoclonal IL-4Ralpha antibody. Expression of Foxa2 in non-ciliated secretory cells (Clara cells) in vivo inhibited goblet cell differentiation induced by pulmonary allergen exposure. The respiratory epithelium plays a central role in the regulation of Th2-mediated inflammation and innate immunity in the developing lung in a process regulated by Foxa2. To investigate the role of Foxa2 and its downstream targets associated with the Th2 inflammation and goblet cell hyperplasia, RNAs were isolated from the lungs of Foxa2-/- and control littermates at PN15. Lung cRNA was hybridized to the murine genome MOE430 V2 chips.

Effects of HSP90 inhibitors on airway goblet cell metaplasia

Project description:Goblet cell metaplasia and mucus hypersecretion are disabling hallmarks of chronic lung diseases for which no curative treatments are available. Therapies targeting specific upstream drivers of asthma have had variable results. We hypothesized that an a priori-knowledge independent approach would point to new therapies for airway goblet cell metaplasia. We analyzed the transcriptome of an organotypic model of human goblet cell metaplasia. We combined our data with previously published datasets from IL13-exposed in vitro and asthmatic in vivo human airway epithelial cells. The drug perturbation-response connectivity approach identified the heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor geldanamycin as a candidate for reverting airway goblet cell metaplasia. We found that geldanamycin not only prevented but reverted IL13-induced goblet cell metaplasia. Geldanamycin did not induce goblet cell death, did not solely block mucin synthesis, and did not block IL13 receptor-proximal signaling. Moreover, the transcriptional effects of geldanamycin were absent in unstimulated cells and became evident only after stimulation with IL13. The predicted mechanism of action suggested that geldanamycin should also revert IL17-induced goblet cell metaplasia, a prediction confirmed by our data. Our findings suggest HSP90 activity may be required for persistence of goblet cell metaplasia driven by various mechanisms in chronic lung diseases.

Transcription profiling of mouse lung from individuals with airway hyperactivity and goblet cell metaplasia post-Sendai virus infection

Project description:Mice representing phenotypic extremes of airway hyperreactivity and goblet cell metaplasia post-Sendai virus infection were identified from a 500 mouse F2 cohort (CB6F2/J). Whole lung RNA from 3 mice at each extreme was analyzed via microarray for gene expression. Subsequent pairwise comparisons between arrays allowed the identification of genes differentially expressed with respect to the disease phenotypes (airway hyperreactivity and goblet cell metaplasia).

COPD lungs show an attached stratified mucus layer resembling the protective colonic mucus

Project description:Mucus accumulation is a key feature of respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is associated with goblet cell metaplasia and mucin overexpression, which can be induced by the increased activity of neutrophil elastase. The aim of the study was to characterization of mucus and epithelial cell proteomics in a porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) mouse model of COPD/CF. The major proteins detected in mucus plugs obtained from PPE-treated mice included mucins Muc5ac and Muc5b, mucus-related proteins Clca1, Fcgbp, and Bpifb1. These proteins were upregulated in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and epithelial cells in mice exposed to elastase. Similar changes were found in BAL fluid of COPD patients.

Specificity for the Nature of Inflammation in Lung Cancer Promotion in Mice

Project description:A large amount of epidemiologic data supports a role for chronic inflammation in epithelial carcinogenesis. In the lung, several studies have found that smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an inflammatory disease of the airways and alveoli, have an increased risk of lung cancer (1.3 to 4.9 fold) compared to smokers without COPD. We have also shown that COPD-like airway inflammation induced by an aerosolized lysate of non-typeable Hemophilus influenzae (NTHi) promotes lung cancer in a Clara cell-targeted K-ras mutant mouse model (CC-LR) of lung cancer. In contrast, existing epidemiologic data suggest that allergic inflammation of the airways may be protective against lung cancer. We tested this association in a mouse model of allergic airway inflammation. CC-LR mice were sensitized to ovalbumin by intraperitoneal injection weekly for two weeks, then challenged for 30 min to an aerosol of ovalbumin in 0.9% saline weekly for eight weeks. This resulted in eosinophilic lung inflammation associated with increased levels of T helper 2 (Th2) cytokines and mucous metaplasia of airway epithelium, similar to what is seen in asthma patients. However, consistent with epidemiologic data, this type of inflammation did not result in any significant differences in lung surface tumor number (22 ± 3 in OVA exposed vs 26 ± 6 in control mice). We conclude that asthma-like (Th2) inflammation does not promote lung carcinogenesis in a Ras-initiated background, and demonstrate a clear specificity for the nature of inflammation in lung cancer promotion. These findings will assist in determination of the essential cells and signaling events in lung cancer promotion by inflammation. Keywords: lung, chonic inflammation, microarray

Distinct roles of FOXA2 and FOXA3 in allergic airway disease

Project description:Allergen challenge induced mucus metaplasia modify the expression of two transcription factors belonging to the FOXA family: FOXA2 and FOXA3. Foxa2 expression is decreased during allergic airway disease whereas, Foxa3 expression is increased by allergen. Therefore, we asked whether persistent expression of Foxa2 prevents mucus and whether absence of Foxa3 affects mucus or other features asociated with allergic airway disease. We analyzed the effects of these changes in FOXA transcription factor expression using Foxa2 transgenic mice and Foxa3-/- mice. We found that persistent expression of FOXA2 reduced mucus but the absence of FOXA3 had no effect on mucus production induced by allergen challenge. However, the absence of FOXA3 decreased airway hyperreactivity and increased IgE production and eosinophilic inflammation but none of these features were affected by persistent expression of FOXA2. These results indicate that FOXA3 has functions distinct from those of FOXA2 in the allergic response. Keywords: gene expression comparison between Foxa3-/- and littermate control mice both challenged with OVA DNA miocroarrays were used to analyze lung mRNA expression of Foxa3 KO and littermate control mice challenged with saline or OVA. The experiment incorporated a 1 color design and used Agilent arrays that contained roughly 44,000 60mer probes that provide complete coverage of the mouse genome. 11 arrays were hybridized and represent 3 lung samples for groups WT saline, WT OVA and KO OVA. There are 2 lung samples for the KO saline group.

IL-31 signaling in pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is associated with many chronic lung diseases including Systemic sclerosis (SSc), Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) which are characterized by the progressive accumulation of mesenchymal cells and formation of scar tissue. Th2 T cell-derived cytokines including IL-4 and IL-13 have been shown to contribute to inflammation and fibrotic remodeling in multiple tissues. Interleukin-31 (IL-31) is a newly identified cytokine that is predominantly produced by CD4 Th2 T cells, but its signaling receptor IL-31RA is primarily expressed by non-hematopoietic cells. However, the potential role of the IL-31-IL31RA axis in pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis has remained largely unknown. To determine the role of IL-31 signaling in pulmonary fibrosis, wildtype, and IL-31RA knockout mice were treated with bleomycin and measured changes in total lung transcripts using RNA-seq. The total lung transcriptome analysis showed a significant reduction in fibrosis-associated gene transcripts including extracellular matrix and epithelial cell-associated gene networks.

Single Cell RNA-Sequencing Identifies Diverse Roles of Epithelial Cells in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a lethal interstitial lung disease causing alveolar remodeling, inflammation, and fibrosis. We utilized single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) to identify epithelial cell types and associated biological processes involved in the pathogenesis of IPF. Transcriptomic analysis of epithelial cells from normal human lung defined gene expression patterns associated with highly differentiated alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells, indicated by enrichment of RNAs critical for surfactant homeostasis. In contrast, scRNA-seq of IPF cells identified three distinct subsets of epithelial cell types with characteristics of conducting airway basal and goblet cells and, an additional atypical "transitional" cell that contribute to pathological processes in IPF. Individual IPF cells frequently co-expressed alveolar AT1, AT2, and conducting airway selective markers, demonstrating "indeterminate" states of differentiation not seen in normal lung development. Pathway analysis predicted aberrant activation of canonical signaling via TGF-ß, HIPPO/YAP, P53, and AKT-PI3 Kinase. Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy identified the disruption of alveolar structure and loss of the normal proximal-peripheral differentiation of pulmonary epithelial cells. Single cell transcriptomic analyses of respiratory epithelial cells identified loss of normal epithelial cell identities and unique contributions of epithelial cells to the pathogenesis of IPF. Present scRNA-seq transcriptomic analysis of normal and IPF respiratory epithelial cells provides a rich data source to further explore lung health and disease.
