Prediction of immune factors and signaling pathways in lung injury induced by LPS based on network analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To construct a regulatory network involved in acute lung injury, so as to provide a new theoretical basis and research ideas for studying the relationship between inflammatory factors and immune proteins to collectively regulate the occurrence of acute lung injury.

Method

By using Meta-analysis, GO, KEGG and other methods notarized and constructed the regulatory network pathways of cytokine cascade and lung injury induced by LPS.

Results

The result of Meta-analysis showed that the correlation between CD14, TNF-α, IL-6 gene and acute lung injury was statistically significant. GO analysis and KEGG analysis showed that acute lung injury contained CD14, TNF-α, IL-6 and other involved factors in the induced process of LPS, these inflammatory factors and immune proteins jointly regulate the process of disease development.

Conclusion

CD14 receptor is an important receptor involved in mediating LPS-activated cells, and is a high-affinity LPS receptor. LPS stimulates inflammatory effector cells to bind to LPS receptor- CD14 to activate intracellular signal cascade. Direct or indirect involvement of pathogenic factors enable cytokine caused by induction form a particularly complex network of cytokine regulatory pathways, of which the inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 are simultaneously involved in LPS-mediated and CD14-mediated cytokine cascades.

Project description:BackgroundAcute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) are clinical syndromes characterized by acute lung inflammation, pulmonary edema and hypoxemia, with up to 50% mortality rate without effective pharmacological therapy. Following the acute inflammation, repair and remodeling occurs which in some cases resulting in lung fibrosis. The pathophysiology of ALI/ARDS remains incompletely understood. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI in mice have been widely used as a model to study human ALI/ARDS. Isthmin 1 (ISM1) is a secreted protein highly abundant in mouse lung. We have previously reported that upon intratracheal LPS instillation, ISM1 expression in the lung is further upregulated. Recently, we also reported that ISM1 is an anti-inflammatory protein in the lung with Ism1-/- mice presenting spontaneous chronic low-grade lung inflammation and obvious emphysema at young adult stage. However, what role ISM1 plays in ALI/ARDS and lung fibrosis remain unclear.MethodsUsing Ism1-/- mice and intratracheal LPS-induced ALI, and local delivery of recombinant ISM1 (rISM1), we investigated the role ISM1 plays in ALI and post-ALI lung fibrosis using flow cytometry, Western blot, antibody array, immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescent and other histological staining.ResultsWe reveal that ISM1 deficiency in mice led to an intensified acute lung inflammation upon intratracheal LPS challenge, with a heightened leukocyte infiltration including neutrophils and monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages, as well as upregulation of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines including tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). Although innate immune cells largely subsided to the baseline by day 7 post-LPS challenge in both wild-type and Ism1-/- mice, Ism1-/- lung showed increased post-ALI fibrosis from day 9 post-LPS treatment with increased myofibroblasts, excessive collagen accumulation and TGF-β upregulation. The heightened lung fibrosis remained on day 28 post-LPS. Moreover, intranasal delivered recombinant ISM1 (rISM1) effectively suppressed LPS-induced acute lung inflammation and ALI, and rISM1 suppressed LPS-induced NF-κB activation in cultured mouse alveolar macrophages.ConclusionTogether with our previous report, this work further established ISM1 as an endogenous anti-inflammation protein in the lung, restraining excessive host inflammatory response to LPS-triggered ALI and suppressing post-ALI lung fibrosis likely through suppressing NF-κB activation and pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokine production.

Project description:BackgroundMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to alleviate acute lung injury (ALI) and induce the production of regulatory dendritic cells (DCregs), but the potential link between these two cell types remains unclear. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of MSC-induced regulatory dendritic cells in ALI mice.Material/methodsIn vivo experiments, C57BL/6 wild-type male mice were sacrificed at different times after intratracheal injection of LPS to observe changes in lung DC maturation and pathological damage. MSCs, DCregs or/and carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE)-labeled DCs were administered to the mice by tail vein, and flow cytometry was performed to measure the phenotype of lung DCs and T cells. Lung injury was estimated by the lung wet weight/body weight ratio and histopathological analysis. In vitro, Western blotting or flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of Notch ligand or receptor in MSCs or DCs after coculture or LPS stimulation. Finally, in vivo and in vitro, we used the Notch signaling inhibitor DAPT to verify the effect of the Notch pathway on MSC-induced DCregs and their pulmonary protection.ResultsWe showed significant accumulation and maturation of lung DCs 2 h after intratracheal injection of LPS, which were positively correlated with the lung pathological injury score. MSC treatment alleviated ALI lung injury, accompanied by a decrease in the number and maturity of classical DCs in the lungs. CFSE-labeled DCs migrated to the lungs of ALI mice more than those of the normal group, and the elimination of CFSE-labeled DCs in the blood was slower. MSCs inhibited the migration of CFSE-labeled DCs to the lung and promoted their elimination in the blood. DCregs, which are obtained by contact coculture of mDCs with MSCs, expressed reduced levels of MHCII, CD86, CD40 and increased levels of PD-L1, and had a reduced ability to stimulate lymphocyte proliferation and activation (expression of CD44 and CD69). mDCs expressing Notch2 significantly increased after coculture with MSCs or rhJagged1, and MSCs expressed more Jagged1 after LPS stimulation. After stimulation of mDCs with recombinant Jagged1, DCs with low expression of MHCII, CD86 and CD40 were also induced, and the effects of both rhJagged1 and MSCs on DCs were blocked by the Notch inhibitor DAPT. Intra-airway DAPT reversed the inhibitory effect of mesenchymal stem cells on DC recruitment to the lungs and its maturation.ConclusionsOur results suggested that the recruitment and maturation of lung DCs is an important process in early ALI, MSCs attenuate LPS-induced ALI by inducing the production of DCregs by activating Notch signaling.
