Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a highly prevalent disease leading to irreversible airflow limitation and is characterized by chronic pulmonary inflammation，obstructive bronchiolitis and emphysema. Etiologically, COPD is mediated by toxic gases and particles, e.g. cigarette smoke, while the pathogenesis of the disease is largely unknown. Several lines of evidence indicate a link between COPD and autoimmunity but comprehensive studies are lacking. By using a protein microarray assaying more than 19,000 human proteins we determined in this study the autoantibody profiles of COPD and non-COPD smokers.

Project description:To determine gene expression changes that contribute to the development of COPD among smokers using high-throughput RNA sequencing in the peripheral blood of COPD patients. Total RNA sequencing was investigated by prospectively collecting lung function test results and whole blood samples from smokers who visited the outpatient department of respiratory medicine at three hospitals since 2020. This study confirmed gene expression differences in non-coding RNA in COPD patients according to the degree of airflow limitation through RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis. These results may provide valuable predictive resources for future COPD research.

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease state characterized by poorly reversible, limited airflow that is usually both progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lung. One cause of COPD is chronic exposure to airborne materials such as cigarette smoke (CS), which leads to impaired respiratory function in damaged tissues. Damaged epithelial tissue initiates repair processes including proliferation and re-differentiation until there is complete regeneration of a pseudostratified epithelium. These repair processes in airway epithelial tissues are essential for maintaining normal airway function. However, impairment of epithelial repair leads to architectural changes through region-dependent remodeling processes that are associated with a fixed airflow limitation in COPD. To fully understand what factors mostly contribute to airway remodeling heterogeneity in COPD pathogenesis, we used two in vitro human airway epithelial 3D culture models, namely, MucilAir™ and SmallAir™ tissues, which are derived from large and small airway epithelial cells, respectively. To focus on regional heterogeneity of the respiratory tract, tissues from a single donor were used to eliminate potential donor-to-donor differences in responses to external stimuli. We exposed the tissues to different concentrations of whole CS (low, middle, and high), and examined the transcriptome at different post-exposure periods (4, 24, 48, and 72 h post-exposure).

Project description:BACKGROUND: The HHIP gene, encoding Hedgehog interacting protein, has been implicated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and our subsequent studies identified a functional upstream genetic variant that decreased HHIP transcription. However, little is known about how HHIP contributes to COPD pathogenesis. METHODS: Here, we exposed Hhip haploinsufficient mice (Hhip+/-) to cigarette smoke (CS) for 6 months to model the biological consequences caused by CS in human COPD risk-allele carriers at the HHIP locus. Gene expression profiling in murine lungs was performed followed by an integrative network inference analysis, PANDA (Passing Attributes between Networks for Data Assimilation) analysis. RESULTS: We detected more severe airspace enlargement in Hhip+/- mice vs. wild-type littermates (Hhip+/+) exposed to CS. Gene expression profiling in murine lungs suggested enhanced lymphocyte activation pathways in CS-exposed Hhip+/- vs. Hhip+/+ mice, which was supported by increased numbers of lymphoid aggregates and enhanced activation of CD8+ T cells after CS-exposure in the lungs of Hhip+/- mice compared to Hhip+/+ mice. Mechanistically, results from PANDA network analysis suggested a rewired and dampened Klf4 signaling network in Hhip+/- mice after CS exposure. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, HHIP haploinsufficiency exaggerated CS-induced airspace enlargement, which models CS-induced emphysema in human smokers carrying COPD risk alleles at the HHIP locus. Network modeling suggested rewired lymphocyte activation signaling circuits in the HHIP haploinsufficiency state.

Project description:Although smoking cessation shows clear cardiovascular risk benefits, lung-related disease risk remains higher in former smokers than in never smokers. To better understand the factors involved in this phenomenon, ApoE-/- mice were exposed to mainstream cigarette smoke (CS) or a smoking cessation-mimicking protocol for up to six months. Analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from CS-exposed ApoE-/- mice revealed the presence of high concentrations of mediators involved in functions ranging from inflammation to cell proliferation and tissue remodeling. Gene expression levels for many analytes found elevated in BALF were also increased in lung tissue, indicating that the inflammatory response was the result of local tissue activation and the contribution of recruited inflammatory cells. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of expression data from lungs of CS-exposed mice showed activation of pathways involved in cell proliferation and tissue remodeling and a progressive deactivation upon smoke exposure cessation. Distinct activation patterns of inflammation, complement, and xenobiotic metabolism pathways were found in nasal epithelium and lung parenchyma during CS exposure and smoking cessation. Exposure of ApoE-/- mice to CS for up to 6 months induced adaptive and inflammatory responses in the respiratory tract that were partially deactivated upon cessation. We were able to reveal molecular perturbations accompanying these changes during CS exposure and cessation. Differential CS-mediated responses of pulmonary and nasal tissues reflect common mechanisms but also the varying degrees of epithelial functional specialization along the respiratory tract. These findings provide novel clues for the identification of markers of COPD progression.

Project description:Cigarette smoke (CS)-induced airway inflammation is an important pathologic feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Recent studies suggest a potential role of JunD in the regulation of inflammation, but its role in CS-induced airway inflammation has not been reported. This study aimed to determine its role in CS-induced airway inflammation through bioinformatics analysis and in vitro and in vivo experiments. Data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (GSE37147) were analyzed using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and key driver analysis (KDA), and these analyses were validated using the GSE47460 dataset. The effect of CS on JunD expression was examined in lung tissues of COPD patients and CS-exposed mice and in CS extract (CSE)-exposed BEAS-2B cells. The effects of CSE on airway epithelial inflammatory injury after JunD knockdown or overexpression were also investigated. mRNA-seq and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-seq were used to explore the mechanism of JunD-mediated CS-induced airway inflammation. Mice were injected with adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9)-JunD vector or control vector and then exposed to CS for 4 weeks, and lung tissue morphology and airway inflammation were evaluated. KDA of the lung function-related gene modules in GSE37147 revealed a potential role of JunD in COPD, which was validated in GSE47460. JunD was downregulated in lung tissues of COPD patients and CS-exposed mice and in BEAS-2B cells. JunD knockdown aggravated CSE-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β release by BEAS-2B cells, while JunD overexpression attenuated these effects. mRNA-seq and ChIP-seq identified several JunD-regulated genes, which are involved in the immune response and TNF signaling pathway and are commonly dysregulated in cell models of airway inflammation. In vivo, JunD overexpression attenuated the CS-induced inflammatory cell infiltration and inflammatory cytokine release in mouse lungs. Thus, JunD is involved in CS-induced airway inflammation and JunD-based therapy may be useful in CS-induced airway disorders.

Six mice from each of four groups with different genotypes (Hhip+/+ or Hhip+/-) and treatments (air or CS) were randomly chosen for gene expression profiling

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most prevalent lung diseases, and involves persistent airflow limitation and incorporates both emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking has been identified as the main risk factor for disease development and progression. In a basic model of COPD, the disease is initiated when the physiologic response mechanisms to cigarette smoke exposure are overwhelmed; for example, because of long-term exposure effects or other aging-related changes. In this parallel-group case-controlled clinical study we asked to what extent the different transitions in a chronic-exposure-to-disease model are reflected in the proteome and cellular transcriptome of induced sputum samples from the lung. For this, we selected 60 age- and gender-matched individuals for each of four study groups: current healthy smokers, current-smoker COPD patients, former smokers, and never smokers (a total of 240 individuals). Induced sputum was collected, the cell-free supernatant was analyzed by quantitative proteomics (isobaric-tag based), and the cellular mRNA fraction was analyzed by microarray-based expression profiling. The sputum proteome of current smokers (healthy or COPD patients) clearly reflected the common physiological responses to smoke exposure, including alterations in mucin/trefoil proteins (e.g., MUC5AC and TFF1/3up-regulation), peptidase regulators (e.g., TIMP1 up-regulation), and a prominent xenobiotic/oxidative stress response (e.g., NQO1 and ALDH3A1 up-regulation). The latter response also was observed in the sputum transcriptome, which additionally demonstrated an immune-related polarization change (toward a M2 signature). The (long-term) former smoker group showed nearly complete reversal of the observable biological effects. Thirteen differentially abundant proteins between the COPD and healthy smoker groups were identified. These abundant proteins included previously reported COPD-associated proteins (e.g., TIMP1 (up-regulation) and APOA1 (down-regulation)) and novel proteins such as C6orf58 and BPIFB1 (LPLUNC1) (both up-regulated in the COPD group compared with the healthy smokers). In summary, our study demonstrates that sputum proteomics/transcriptomics can capture the complex and reversible physiological response to cigarette smoke exposure, which appears to be only slightly modulated in early-stage COPD patients. The study has been registered on ClinicalTrials.gov with identifier NCT01780298.

Project description:Rationale: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is associated with a complex pulmonary and systemic immune response. Objective: To characterize and relate the lung tissue and circulating blood network immune response in COPD. Methods: Lung tissue and circulating blood samples were simultaneously obtained from COPD patients (current smokers n=28 and former smokers n=16) and controls (current smokers n=9 and non-smokers n=12) undergoing thoracic surgery. We used flow cytometry to assess the immune cell composition, Affymetrix arrays to determine whole lung mRNA expression, and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) to characterize and compare the pulmonary and systemic immune responses in patients and controls. Results: In lung tissue of current smokers with COPD (vs. non-smokers and former smokers with COPD) we observed a significant increase in the proportion of intermediated phenotype macrophages (Mphage) expressing both M1 and M2 markers, whereas that of M1 Mphage (pro-inflammatory) and CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes were decreased. These changes were not mirrored in circulating blood but WGCNA identified three modules of co-expressed genes that related, respectively to: (1) the total proportion of lung Mphage (extracellular matrix and angiogenesis genes) ; (2) active smoking (T cell and apoptosis related genes); and, (3) severity of airflow limitation (cilium organization genes). Conclusions: In mild/moderate COPD, the main pulmonary immune cell alterations relate to current smoking, involve changes in the proportion of Mphage and T cells and are associated with changes in whole lung tissue transcriptome. These cellular pulmonary changes are not mirrored in the systemic circulation.
