Overexpression of Dimethylarginine Dimethylaminohydrolase 1 Attenuates Airway Inflammation in Mouse Models of Asthma

ABSTRACT: Levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, are increased in lung, sputum, exhaled breath condensate and plasma samples from asthma patients. ADMA is metabolized primarily by dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) and DDAH2. We determined the effect of DDAH1 overexpression on development of allergic inflammation in mouse models of asthma. Wild type and DDAH1-transgenic mice were challenged with PBS or house dust mite (HDM). Airway inflammation was assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) total and differential cell counts. Gene expression in lungs was determined by RNA-Seq and RT-quantitative PCR (qPCR). The expression of DDAH1 and DDAH2 was decreased in the lungs of mice following HDM exposure. Transgenic overexpression of DDAH1 resulted in decreased BAL total cell and eosinophil numbers following HDM exposure. Total IgE levels in serum and BAL fluid were decreased in HDM-exposed DDAH1-transgenic mice compared to HDM-exposed wild type mice. RNA-Seq results showed downregulation of genes in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) signaling pathway in PBS-treated DDAH1 transgenic mice versus PBS-treated wild type mice and downregulation of genes in IL-13/FOXA2 signaling pathway in HDM-treated DDAH1 transgenic mice versus HDM-treated wild type mice. Our findings suggest that decreased expression of DDAH1 in airway epithelial cells may contribute to allergic asthma and overexpression of DDAH1 attenuates allergen-induced airway inflammation through modulation of Th2 responses. mRNA profiles of WT and DDAH1-transgenic mice treated with PBS or house dust mite (HDM).

We determined the effect of DDAH1 overexpression on development of allergic inflammation in a mouse model of asthma. The expression of DDAH1 and DDAH2 in mouse lungs was determined by RT-quantitative PCR (qPCR). ADMA levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum samples were determined by mass spectrometry. Wild type and DDAH1-transgenic mice were intratracheally challenged with PBS or house dust mite (HDM). Airway inflammation was assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) total and differential cell counts. The levels of IgE and IgG1 in BALF and serum samples were determined by ELISA. Gene expression in lungs was determined by RNA-Seq and RT-qPCR. Our data showed that the expression of DDAH1 and DDAH2 was decreased in the lungs of mice following HDM exposure, which correlated with increased ADMA levels in BALF and serum. Transgenic overexpression of DDAH1 resulted in decreased BAL total cell and eosinophil numbers following HDM exposure. Total IgE levels in BALF and serum were decreased in HDM-exposed DDAH1-transgenic mice compared to HDM-exposed wild type mice.

Targeting mitochondrial reactive oxygen species alleviates allergic airway disease in a mouse model of obese allergic asthma

Project description:Obesity is associated with severe, difficult to control asthma, and increased airway oxidative stress. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) are an important source of oxidative stress leading us to hypothesize that targeting mROS in obese allergic asthma might be an effective treatment strategy. Using a mouse model of house dust mite (HDM) induced allergic airway disease in mice fed a low- (LFD) or high-fat diet (HFD), and the mitochondrial antioxidant MitoQuinone (MitoQ); we investigated the effects of obesity and mROS on airway inflammation, remodelling and airway hyperreactivity (AHR). HDM induces airway inflammation, remodelling and hyperreactivity in both lean and obese mice. Obese allergic mice showed increased lung tissue eotaxin levels, airway tissue eosinophilia and AHR when compared to lean allergic mice. MitoQ reduced markers of airway inflammation, remodelling and hyperreactivity in both lean and obese allergic mice, and tissue eosinophilia in obeseHDM mice. mROS regulates cell signalling by protein oxidation of multiple downstream targets: MitoQ reduced HDM-induced cysteine-sulfenylation of several proteins including those involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR). In summary, mROS mediates the development of allergic airway disease and hence MitoQ might be effective for the treatment for asthma, and specific features of obese asthma.

Airway and parenchyma RNA sequencing in a mouse model of asthma chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap

Project description:To profile airway and parenchyma transcriptomes in our mouse model of asthma chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap, we employed RNA-Seq (TruSeq Stranded mRNA sample preparation, NovaSeq 6000, 20 million 100 bp single reads) as a discovery tool to identify mRNAs of interest in the development of experimental asthma chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap. Experimental asthma: Some mice were sensitized and challenged intranasally with house dust mite (HDM) extract 5 days per week for 3 weeks. In other mice, this was HDM treatment 3 times/week from weeks 4-11. Controls received phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Experimental chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Mice were exposed to cigarette smoke (CS) twice per day, 5 days per week for 8 weeks. Control mice were exposed to normal air (AIR). Experimental asthma-COPD overlap (ACO): Mice were sensitized and challenged intranasally with HDM or PBS. From weeks 4-11, mice were also exposed to CS or AIR. Treatment with dexamethasone (DEX): Separate groups of mice were treated with DEX during week 11. Lungs were excised, airway and parenchyma tissue were isolated through blunt dissection, and total RNA isolated.

Coxsackievirus Adenovirus Receptor co-ordinates pro-inflammatory responses in the lung epithelium

Project description:Airway inflammation and remodelling are key pathophysiologic features process in many respiratory conditions such as asthma. An intact epithelial cell layer is crucial to maintain lung homeostasis, and this depends on intercellular adhesion. The Coxsackievirus Adenovirus Receptor (CAR) is highly expressed in the epithelium where it modulates cell-cell adhesion stability and acts as a receptor for immune cells to facilitate transepithelial migration. Here we investigated the mechanistic role of CAR in mediating responses to the common aeroallergen House Dust Mite (HDM). We demonstrate that administration of HDM in mice lacking CAR in the respiratory epithelium leads to loss of peri-bronchial inflammatory cell infiltration, fewer goblet-cells, decreased IL-4 and IL-13 levels and reduced matrix remodelling. In vitro analysis in human lung epithelial cells confirmed that loss of CAR led to reduced HDM-dependent inflammatory cytokine release leading to reduced inflammatory cell transmigration. Moreover, CAR was required for HDM-induced TGF release leading to enhanced airway smooth muscle cell proliferation and matrix production. Our data demonstrates that CAR is a novel central co-ordinator of lung inflammation through a dual role in leukocyte recruitment and tissue remodelling and may represent an important target for future therapeutic development in lung inflammatory diseases.

In Utero Cigarette Smoke Affects Allergic Airway Disease But Does Not Alter the Lung Methylome

Project description:Introduction: Prenatal and postnatal cigarette smoke exposure enhances the risk of developing asthma. Despite this as well as other smoking related risks, 11% of women still smoke during pregnancy. We hypothesized that cigarette smoke exposure during prenatal development generates long lasting differential methylation altering transcriptional activity that correlates with disease. Methods: In a house dust mite (HDM) model of allergic airway disease, we measured airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and airway inflammation between mice exposed prenatally to cigarette smoke (CS) or filtered air (FA). DNA methylation and gene expression were then measured in lung tissue. Results: We demonstrate that HDM-treated CS mice develop a more severe allergic airway disease compared to HDM-treated FA mice including increased AHR and airway inflammation. While DNA methylation changes between the two HDM-treated groups failed to reach genome-wide significance, 99 DMRs had an uncorrected p-value < 0.001. 6 of these 99 DMRs were selected for validation, based on the immune function of adjacent genes, and only 2 of the 6 DMRs confirmed the bisulfite sequencing data. Additionally, genes near these 6 DMRs (Lif, Il27ra, Tle4, Ptk7, Nfatc2, and Runx3) are differentially expressed between HDM-treated CS mice and HDM-treated FA mice. Conclusions: Our findings confirm that prenatal exposure to cigarette smoke is sufficient to modify allergic airway disease, however, it is unlikely that specific methylation changes account for the exposure-response relationship. These findings highlight the important role in utero cigarette smoke exposure plays in the development of allergic airway disease. Lung DNA methylation profiles of mice exposed in utero to cigarette smoke (CS) then treated with house dust mite (HDM, n = 8) or saline (n = 6), or exposed in utero to filtered air (FA) then treated with HDM (n = 9) or saline (n = 6)

Function-selective targeting of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) mitigates multiple pathophysiological features of allergen-induced asthma in mice

Project description:Purpose: To test the in vivo effectiveness of a novel function-selective inhibitor of ERK1/2 in a murine model of house dust mite (HDM)-induced allergic asthma. Methods: Mice challenged with HDM for 3 weeks were treated with SF-3-030 or vehicle and asthma phenotype was assessed by histology and lung function measurements. Total RNA from lung samples were subjected to RNAseq analysis to determine the molecular signature perturbed by SF-3-030 treatment in mice. Results: RNA-seq analysis revealed modulation (up- or down-regulation) of expression of a number of genes by HDM challenge. SF-3-030 treatment significantly modulated the expression of genes involved in HDM-induced airway inflammation, cell proliferation, and extracellular matrix production. Conclusion: Function-selective inhibitor of ERK1/2 SF-3-030 mitigates multiple features of asthma in a murine model by modulating expression of genes involved in the regulation of key pathological functions in airway cells.
