Th2 cytokine IL-4 is critical in initiating pulmonary vascular inflammation under hypoxic conditions and induces pulmonary vascular endothelial cell activation.

ABSTRACT: IL-4-mediated pro-inflammatory vascular responses have been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic cardiopulmonary diseases. Our results show that hypoxia-induced collagen synthesis and early recruitment of inflammatory cells are significantly less in the lungs of IL-4 knockout (KO) mice than in those of wild-type mice. In addition, we found that IL-4 significantly increased pro-inflammatory genes in primary pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells. This study was designed to identify the gene expression profile of IL-4-dependent pulmonary vascular inflammation induced by hypoxia.

Physiological shear stress markedly alters the proteomic response to hypoxia in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells

Project description:Physiological shear stress, produced by blood flow, homeostatically regulates the phenotype of pulmonary endothelial cells exerting anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic actions and maintaining normal barrier function. In the pulmonary circulation hypoxia, due to high altitude or diseases such as COPD, causes vasoconstriction, increased vascular resistance and pulmonary hypertension. Hypoxia-induced changes in endothelial function play a central role in the development of this pulmonary hypertension. However, the direct interactive effects of hypoxia and shear stress on the pulmonary endothelial phenotype have not been extensively studied. We cultured human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMEC) in normoxia or hypoxia while subjected to physiological shear stress or in static conditions. Unbiased proteomics was used to identify hypoxia-induced changes in protein expression. Using publicly available single cell RNA-seq datasets, differences in gene expression between the alveolar endothelial cells from COPD and healthy lungs were identified. 60 proteins were identified in HPMEC lysates whose expression changed in response to hypoxia in sheared but not in static conditions. mRNA for five of these (ERG, MCRIP1, EIF4A2, HSP90AA1 and DNAJA1) showed similar changes in the endothelial cells of COPD compared to healthy lungs. These data show that the proteomic responses of the pulmonary microvascular endothelium to hypoxia are significantly altered by shear stress and suggest that these differences are important in the development of hypoxic pulmonary vascular disease.

Pericytes contribute to pulmonary vascular remodeling via HIF2α signaling

Project description:Using a combination of single-cell RNAseq methods and murine pulmonary hypertension models, we show HIF2α overexpressing pericytes’ transformation into SMC-like cells, confirming HIF2α as a major molecular regulator in hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH) and vascular remodeling. We demonstrate that HIF2α overexpression in pericyte-dominant transgenic mice exacerbates PH and right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), whereas disruption of HIF2α expression attenuates the development of PH.

Pericytes contribute to pulmonary vascular remodeling via HIF2α signaling [lung]

Project description:Vascular remodeling is the process of structural alteration and cell rearrangement of blood vessels in response to injury and is the cause of many of the world's most afflicted cardiovascular conditions, including pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH). Many studies have focused on the effects of vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells(SMCs) during vascular remodeling, but pericytes, an indispensable cell population residing largely in capillaries, are ignored in this maladaptive process. Here we report that hypoxia-inducible factor 2α(HIF2α) expression is increased in human PAH patient lung tissues and HIF2α overexpressed pericytes result in greater contractility and an impaired endothelial-pericyte interaction. Using single-cell RNAseq and hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension(PH) models, we show HIF2α as a major molecular regulator for pericytes’ transformation into SMC-like cells. HIF2α overexpression in pericyte-selective mice exacerbate PH and right ventricular hypertrophy. Temporal cellular lineage tracing shows that HIF2α overexpressing reporter NG2+ cells (pericyte-selective) relocate from capillaries to arterioles and co-express SMA. This novel insight into the potential role of NG2+ pericytes in pulmonary vascular remodeling via HIF2α signaling suggests a potential drug target for PH.

Pharmacological inhibition of G9a ameliorates pulmonary vascular remodeling in PAH

Project description:Background:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe condition characterized by progressive vascular remodeling of small pulmonary arteries (PAs) causing sustained elevation of PA pressure, right ventricular failure and death. Similar to cancer cells, PA smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), which play a key role in pulmonary vascular remodeling, have adopted multiple mechanisms to sustain their survival and proliferation in the presence of stress. The histone methyltransferase G9a has been shown to exert oncogenic effects and to serve as a buffer against an exaggerated transcriptional response. Therefore, we hypothesized that G9a up-regulation in PAH plays a pivotal role in pulmonary vascular remodeling by maintaining the abnormal phenotype of PAH-PASMCs. Methods: G9alevels were measured in PAs and isolated PASMCs of PAH patients and animal models. Selective G9a pharmacological inhibitors were used in human PAH-PASMCs and in rodent PAH models (i.e.Fawn-Hooded rats and Sugen/Hypoxia-exposed mice). Results: We present evidence of increased expression of G9a in PASMCs from PAH patients as well as in remodeled PAs from animal models. We found that pharmacological inhibition of G9a activity using BIX01294 and UNC0642significantly reduces the prosurvival and proproliferative potentials of cultured PAH-PASMCs. Using RNA sequencing, further exploration revealed that G9a promotes extracellular matrix production and affords protection against the negative effects of an overactive stress response. Finally, we found that therapeutic treatment with BIX01294 reduced pulmonary vascular remodeling and lowered mean PA pressure in Fawn-Hooded rats. Treatment of Sugen/hypoxia-challenged mice with BIX01294 also improved pulmonary hemodynamics and right ventricular function. Conclusions:These findings suggest that G9a inhibition may represent a new therapeutic approach in PAH.

Expression data from pulmonary Type 2 Myeloid (T2M) cells, Eosinophils, Neutrophils, and Macrophages, from IL-25 treated 4get mice

Project description:Many symptoms associated with allergic asthma result from the sequelae of type 2 inflammation. Interleukin (IL)-25 promotes type 2 inflammatory responses, and T2M cells represent an IL-4 and IL-13 producing granulocytic IL-25 responsive population. We used microarrays to characterize the gene expression profile of T2M cells, and compared T2M cells to other inflammatory subsets (eosinophils, neutrophils, and macrophages) in the lungs of mice with IL-25-induced pulmonary inflammation. Inflammatory subsets were isolated from the lungs of IL-25 treated 4get mice for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We pooled cells from 4 donor mice for each replicate, and used FACS to isolate pure populations of each inflammatory subset in parallel. We analyzed 3 T2M replicates and 2 replicates each of the other inflammatory subsets.

Activation of Lung Macrophages in Hypoxic Pulmonary Hypertension

Project description:Studies in various animal models suggest an important role for pulmonary macrophages in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Yet, the molecular mechanisms characterizing the functional macrophage phenotype relative to time and pulmonary localization/compartmentalization remain largely unknown. Here, we utilized a hypoxic murine model of PH in combination with flow cytometry assisted cell sorting (FACS) to quantify and isolate lung macrophages from two compartments over time and characterized their programing via RNA sequencing (RNAseq) approaches. In response to hypoxia, we found an early increase in macrophage number that was restricted to the interstitial/perivascular compartment, without recruitment of macrophages to the alveolar compartment or changes in the number of resident alveolar macrophages. Principle component analysis demonstrated significant differences in overall gene expression between alveolar (AMs) and interstitial macrophages (IMs) at baseline and after 4 and 14 days hypoxic exposure. AM’s at both day 4 and 14 and IM’s at day 4 shared a conserved “hypoxia program” characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, pro-inflammatory gene activation and mTORC1 signaling, while IM’s at day 14 demonstrated a unique anti-inflammatory/ pro-reparative programming state. We conclude that the pathogenesis of vascular remodeling in hypoxic PH involves an early compartment independent activation of lung macrophages towards a conserved hypoxia program, with the development of compartment specific programs later on in the course of disease. Thus, harnessing time and compartment specific differences in lung macrophage polarization needs to be considered in the therapeutic targeting of macrophages in hypoxic PH and potentially other inflammatory lung diseases.

Interleukin-22 immunotherapy modulates pulmonary gene expression evocative of enhanced tissue barrier and reduces bacterial systemic invasion during severe influenza

Project description:Severe bacterial (pneumococcal) infections are commonly associated with influenza and are significant contributors to the excess morbidity and mortality of influenza. Disruption of lung tissue integrity during influenza participates in bacterial pulmonary colonization and dissemination out of the lungs. Interleukin (IL)-22 has gained considerable interest in anti-inflammatory and anti-infection immunotherapy over the last decade. In the current study, we investigated the effect of exogenous IL-22 delivery on the outcome of bacterial superinfection post-influenza. Our data show that exogenous treatment of influenza-infected mice with recombinant IL-22 reduces bacterial dissemination out of the lungs but is without effect on pulmonary bacterial burden. We describe an IL-22 specific gene signature in the lung tissue of IAV-infected (and naÃ¯ve) mice that might explain the observed effects. Indeed, exogenous IL-22 modulates gene expression profile in a way suggesting a reinforcement of tissue integrity. Our results open the way to alternative approaches for limiting post-influenza bacterial superinfection, particularly systemic bacterial invasion.
