Project description:Ventilator induced lung injury can lead to serious conditions like ARDS which are associated with a high mortality (around 30%, Stapleton et al., Chest, 2005). We hypothesized that changes of expression levels of different genes would lead us to the identification of critical target genes, which might influence the inflammation and outcome associated with this condition. We used human whole genome U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays to detail the changes of gene expression and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process.

Project description:BackgroundSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) enters the host cell by binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors. ACE2 is expressed on human airway epithelial cells. Increased ACE2 expression may be associated with potentially high risk of COVID-19. However, the factors responsible for the regulation of ACE2 expression in human airway epithelial cells are unknown. Furthermore, hyperglycemia is a risk factor for poor disease prognosis.ResultsIn this study, we investigated the effects of D-glucose on ACE2 mRNA and protein expressions in Calu-3 bronchial submucosal cells. The cells were cultured in minimal essential medium containing different D-glucose concentrations. After 48 and 72 h of high D-glucose (1000 mg/dL) treatment, ACE2 mRNA expressions were significantly increased. ACE2 protein expressions were significantly increased after 24 h of high D-glucose treatment. ACE2 mRNA expression was enhanced by a D-glucose concentration of 550 mg/dL or more after 72 h of treatment. In addition, we investigated the role of glucose transporters (GLUTs) in Calu-3 cells. ACE2 mRNA and protein expressions were suppressed by the GLUT1 inhibitor BAY-876 in high D-glucose-treated Calu-3 cells. GLUT-1 siRNA was also used and ACE2 mRNA expressions were suppressed in high D-glucose-treated Calu-3 cells with GLUT-1 knockdown.ConclusionsThis is the first report indicating that high D-glucose levels induced ACE2 expression via GLUT1 in bronchial submucosal cells in vitro. As hyperglycemia can be treated appropriately, these findings could help reduce the risk of worsening of coronavirus disease 2019.

Project description:Epithelial cell lines are often used to evaluate the effect of exogenous/endogenous stimuli on epithelial barrier function and innate immune responses in allergic airway diseases, without clear view on differences between epithelial cell lines and primary nasal epithelial cell responses. In this observational study, we compared the response of Calu-3 and primary nasal epithelial cells to two relevant exogenous stimuli: i.e. Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB) and house dust mite (HDM). Stimulation of Calu-3 cells with SEB decreased epithelial integrity in a dose dependent manner, which was associated with a significant increase in IL-6 and IL-8 production. In contrast, no alteration in barrier integrity or IL-6 and IL-8 production was seen when primary nasal epithelial cells were stimulated with SEB. HDM extract altered the integrity of primary nasal epithelial cells, but not of Calu-3 epithelial cells. Increased IL-8 production was seen after stimulation with HDM in primary nasal epithelial cells and not in Calu-3 epithelial cells. In conclusion, immune and barrier function differ between different epithelial cell types studied. As a consequence, care must be taken when interpreting data using different epithelial cell types.

Project description:Exposure to respirable crystalline silica particles, as opposed to amorphous silica, is associated with lung inflammation, pulmonary fibrosis (silicosis), and potentially with lung cancer. We used Affymetrix/GeneSifter microarray analysis to determine whether gene expression profiles differed in a human bronchial epithelial cell line (BEAS 2B) exposed to cristobalite vs. amorphous silica particles at non-toxic and equal surface areas (75 and 150 × 106?m2/cm2). Bio-Plex analysis was also used to determine profiles of secreted cytokines and chemokines in response to both particles. Finally, primary human bronchial epithelial cells (NHBE) were used to comparatively assess silica particle-induced alterations in gene expression.Microarray analysis at 24 hours in BEAS 2B revealed 333 and 631 significant alterations in gene expression induced by cristobalite at low (75) and high (150 × 106?m2/cm2) amounts, respectively (p < 0.05/cut off ? 2.0-fold change). Exposure to amorphous silica micro-particles at high amounts (150 × 106?m2/cm2) induced 108 significant gene changes. Bio-Plex analysis of 27 human cytokines and chemokines revealed 9 secreted mediators (p < 0.05) induced by crystalline silica, but none were induced by amorphous silica. QRT-PCR revealed that cristobalite selectively up-regulated stress-related genes and cytokines (FOS, ATF3, IL6 and IL8) early and over time (2, 4, 8, and 24 h). Patterns of gene expression in NHBE cells were similar overall to BEAS 2B cells. At 75 × 106?m2/cm2, there were 339 significant alterations in gene expression induced by cristobalite and 42 by amorphous silica. Comparison of genes in response to cristobalite (75 × 106?m2/cm2) revealed 60 common, significant gene alterations in NHBE and BEAS 2B cells.Cristobalite silica, as compared to synthetic amorphous silica particles at equal surface area concentrations, had comparable effects on the viability of human bronchial epithelial cells. However, effects on gene expression, as well as secretion of cytokines and chemokines, drastically differed, as the crystalline silica induced more intense responses. Our studies indicate that toxicological testing of particulates by surveying viability and/or metabolic activity is insufficient to predict their pathogenicity. Moreover, they show that acute responses of the lung epithelium, including up-regulation of genes linked to inflammation, oxidative stress, and proliferation, as well as secretion of inflammatory and proliferative mediators, can be indicative of pathologic potential using either immortalized lines (BEAS 2B) or primary cells (NHBE). Assessment of the degree and magnitude of these responses in vitro are suggested as predictive in determining the pathogenicity of potentially harmful particulates.

Project description:Injury to the epithelium is integral to the pathogenesis of many inflammatory lung diseases, and epithelial repair is a critical determinant of clinical outcome. However, the signaling pathways regulating such repair are incompletely understood. Herein, we used in vitro and in vivo models to define these pathways. Human neutrophils were induced to transmigrate across monolayers of human lung epithelial cells in the physiologic basolateral-to-apical direction to a gradient of fMLP. Control wells were treated with fMLP alone. Indicated wells were pretreated with an anti-CD47 blocking antibody, which exacerbates epithelial injury. This allowed study of the neutrophil contribution not only to the initial epithelial injury, but also to its repair, as manifest by restoration of transepithelial resistance (TER) and re-epithelialization of the denuded epithelium. Microarray analysis of epithelial gene expression revealed that neutrophil transmigration activated β-catenin signaling, and this was verified by real time PCR, nuclear translocation of β-catenin, and TOPFlash reporter activity. This pathway represents a potential therapeutic target to accelerate physiologic recovery in inflammatory lung diseases.

Project description:This series contains 5 groups of U133A arrays with targets from Calu-3 cell line post-infection with P aeruginosa strains. Calu-3 human lung epithelial cells were seeded onto 6-well plates and grown to about 80% confluency. Epithelial monolayers were infected with 108 CFUs per ml of each bacterial strain for 60 min and then washed extensively with phosphate-buffered saline. The cultures were subsequently incubated in fresh RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 100 µg/ml gentamicin. After 6 h, total RNA from the cells was prepared with RNAzol and further purified with RNEasy for microarray hybridization. All arrays processed and globally scaled to 500 using MAS 5.

Project description:Inhalation therapy has advantages for the treatment of multidrug resistant bacterial lung infections with high drug concentrations at the infection sites in the airways and reduced systemic exposure. We have developed liposomal formulations for pulmonary delivery of synergistic ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and colistin (Col) as the potential candidate for treatment of lung infections caused by multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. This study aims to: (1) further optimize the powder formulation by adding drying stabilizers (polyvinyl pyrrolidone or poloxamer) to protect the liposomes during spray-freeze-drying; (2) evaluate the transport and cellular uptake of drugs in a human lung epithelial Calu-3 cell model. The liposomal powder formulations were produced using the ultrasonic spray-freeze-drying technique. The optimal formulation (F5) used mannitol (8% w/v) and sucrose (2% w/v) as the internal lyoprotectants. Adding external lyoprotectants/aerosolization enhancers (i.e. 8% w/v mannitol, 2% w/v sucrose and 1%, w/w PVP 10) produced the superior rehydrated EE values of ciprofloxacin and colistin (50.2 ± 0.9% for Cipro and 37.8 ± 1.2% for Col) as well as satisfactory aerosol performance (FPF: 34.2 ± 0.8% for Cipro and 33.6 ± 0.9% for Col). The cytotoxicity study indicated that F5 with the colistin concentration at 50 μg/mL and ciprofloxacin at 200 μg/mL was not cytotoxic to human lung epithelial Calu-3 cells. The intracellular uptake of ciprofloxacin was concentration-dependent in Calu-3 cells and the uptake of A-B was more than that of B-A for all samples (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that co-delivery of ciprofloxacin and colistin in a single liposome can lower the transport capability of both drugs across the Calu-3 cell monolayer and their accumulation in the cells. These findings indicate that co-loaded liposomal powder of ciprofloxacin and colistin is a promising potential treatment for respiratory infections caused by multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
