Project description:Cigarette smoke (CS) imposes a strong oxidative burden on exposed tissues resulting in a severely disturbed oxidant/antioxidant balance, which in the context of chronic exposure is assumed to be a key contributor to CS-related diseases. Because of its emerging central role in orchestrating the general cellular antioxidant response, the pathway leading to the activation of the transcription factor Nrf2 has received mounting attention over the past decade in investigations aimed at elucidating CS-induced patho-physiological mechanisms. To comprehensively characterize the impact of Nrf2 in acute and sub-chronic smoking scenarios, Nrf2 knock-out mice and their wildtype ICR littermates were exposed to either ambient air (sham exposure) or to one of three doses of CS for up to 5 months with two post-exposure endpoints of 1 and 13 days. The lungs of the mice were monitored for transcriptomic changes on a genome-wide level. 110 samples from 28 different groups are analyzed. For each group there are 4 replicates, besides two groups with only 3 replicates. Group parameteres are: genotype (WT, KN), treatment (sham, smoke), dosage of smoke treatment (low, medium, high), time of smoke treatment (1 day, 2 month, 5 month, 5 month + 1 day recovery, 5 month + 13 days recovery)

Project description:Although cigarette smoke (CS) is the primary risk factor for COPD, the underlying molecular mechanisms for the significant variability in developing COPD in response to CS are incompletely understood. We performed lung gene expression profiling of two different wild-type murine strains (C57BL/6J, NZW/LacJ) and two genetic models with mutations in COPD GWAS genes (HHIP, FAM13A) after 6 months of chronic CS exposure and compared the results to human COPD lung tissues. We identified gene response patterns that correlate with severity of emphysema in mouse and human lungs. Xenobiotic metabolism and Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress response were commonly regulated molecular response patterns across C57BL/6J, Hhip +/- and Fam13a -/- murine models upon chronic CS exposure and human COPD subjects. The CS resistant Fam13a -/- mouse and NZW/LacJ strain revealed an opposite pattern of gene expression response, suggesting distinct molecular pathways for resistance against emphysema. There were few genes commonly modulated between mouse and humans. Our study suggests gene expression responses to CS may be largely species and model dependent, yet shared pathways could provide biologically significant insights underlying individual susceptibility to CS

Project description:RATIONALE: Mechanical ventilation (MV) is an indispensable therapy for critically ill patients with acute lung injury and the adult respiratory distress syndrome. However, the mechanisms by which conventional MV induces lung injury remain unclear. OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that disruption of the gene encoding Nrf2, a transcription factor which regulates the induction of several antioxidant enzymes, enhances susceptibility to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), while antioxidant supplementation attenuates such effect. METHODS: To test our hypothesis and to examine the relevance of oxidative stress in VILI, here we have assessed lung injury and inflammatory responses in Nrf2-deficient (Nrf2(-/-)) mice and wildtype (Nrf2(+/+)) animals following acute (2 h) injurious model of MV with or without administration of antioxidant. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Nrf2(-/-) mice displayed greater levels of lung alveolar and vascular permeability and inflammatory responses to MV as compared to Nrf2(+/+) mice. Nrf2-deficieny enhances the levels of several pro-inflammatory cytokines implicated in the pathogenesis of VILI. We found diminished levels of critical antioxidant enzymes and redox imbalance by MV in the lungs of Nrf2(-/-) mice; however antioxidant supplementation to Nrf2(-/-) mice remarkably attenuated VILI. When subjected to clinically relevant prolong period of MV, Nrf2(-/-) mice displayed greater levels of VILI than Nrf2(+/+) mice. Expression profiling revealed lack of induction of several VILI genes, stress response and solute carrier proteins and phosphatases in Nrf2(-/-) mice. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, our data demonstrate for the first time a critical role for Nrf2 in VILI, which confers protection against cellular responses induced by MV by modulating oxidative stress. Experiment Overall Design: The Nrf2 wildtype (Nrf2+/+) and Nrf2-deficient (Nrf2â/â) CD-1/ICR strains of mice were subjected to mechanical ventilation with high (HVT) amounts of tidal volumes (VT) at 30 ml/kg for 2 hours. The animals subjected to spontaneous ventilation (SpV) for 2 hours were used as controls. Lungs were immediately removed and processed for total RNA isolation using TRIzol reagent (LifeTechnologies, Grand Island, NY). The isolated RNA was applied to Murine Genome 430A GeneChip arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA), which contain probes for detecting ~14,500 well-characterized genes and 4371 expressed sequence tags according to standard microarray protocol. Scanned output files were analyzed by using Affymetrix GeneChip Operating Software and were independently normalized to an average intensity of 500.

Project description:Gene expression profiling in animal models exposed to cigarette mainstream smoke (CS) shapes up as a promising tool for investigating the molecular mechanisms involved in the onset and development of CS-related disease and may aid in the identification of disease candidate genes. Here we report on differential gene expression in lungs of rats exposed for 2, 7, and 13 weeks to 300 and 600 µg total particulate matter (TPM)/l CS with sacrifice 2, 6, or 20 h after the last exposure. The results showed a distinct, mostly transient, expression pattern of differentially expressed genes encoding antioxidant and xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes, which confirmed and extended in qualitative and quantitative terms the findings of a former study, where rats were exposed to CS either acutely (once) or short-term (3 weeks). With increasing length of exposure, there was a distinct, mostly sustained, expression of genes implicated in innate and adaptive immune responses, clearly pointing to an emerging inflammatory response. Notably, this inflammatory response included the expression of lung disease-related genes not yet linked to CS exposure, such as osteopontin, arginase 1, and chitinase, as well as genes encoding proteolytic enzymes. Finally, our experiments also revealed a CS exposure-dependent shift in the cyclical expression of genes involved in controlling the circadian rhythm. Altogether, these results provide further insight into the molecular mechanisms of CS-dependent disease onset and development and thus may also be useful for defining CS-specific molecular biomarkers of disease.

Project description:Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for the development and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), so modified risk tobacco products (MRTPs) are being developed to reduce smoking-related health risks. The present study investigated the hallmarks of COPD and CVD over an 8-month period in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice exposed to conventional cigarette smoke (CS) or to an aerosol from a candidate MRTP, the tobacco heating system (THS2.2). In addition to chronic exposure, cessation or switching to THS2.2 after 2 months of CS was investigated. In a systems toxicology approach, exposure effects were investigated using physiology and histology combined with transcriptomics, lipidomics, and proteomics. CS induced nasal epithelial hyperplasia and metaplasia, lung inflammation, and emphysematous changes (impaired pulmonary function and alveolar damage). Atherogenic effects of CS exposure included altered lipid profiles and increased aortic plaque formation. Exposure to THS2.2 aerosol (nicotine concentration matched to CS: 29.9 mg/m3) did not induce lung inflammation or emphysema, nor did it consistently change the lipid profile or enhance the plaque area. Cessation and switching reversed the inflammatory responses and led to no further progression of initial emphysematous changes or the aortic plaque area. Biological processes, including senescence, inflammation, and proliferation, were significantly impacted in CS, but not THS2.2-exposed tissues. Cessation or switching reduced these perturbations to become nearly indistinguishable from sham exposure. In conclusion, this mouse model indicated that cessation or switching to THS2.2 retarded the progression of atherosclerotic and emphysematous changes, while THS2.2 alone had no adverse effects.

Project description:Extremely preterm infants are often treated with supraphysiological oxygen which contributes to the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). These same infants exhibit compromised antioxidant capacities due in part to selenium (Se) deficiency. The present study was designed to develop a perinatal Se deficiency mouse model, identify the effects of newborn hyperoxia exposure, and explore alternative pathways affected by Se deficiency (SeD) that would contribute to impaired lung development. Se deficient breeding pairs were generated, once pups were born, they were exposed to room air or 85% O2 for 14 d. Survival, antioxidant and Nrf2-regulated protein expression, and RNA seq analyses were performed. Greater than 40% mortality was observed in Se deficient (SeD), hyperoxia exposed pups. Surviving SeD pups had greater lung growth deficits than Se sufficient (SeS) pups exposed to hyperoxia. Gpx2 and 4 protein and Gpx activity were significantly decreased in SeD pups. Nrf2-regulated proteins, NQO1 and Gclc were increased in the setting of Se deficiency and hyperoxia exposure. RNA seq revealed significant decreases in the Wnt/-catenin and Notch pathways. Se is a biologically relevant modulator of perinatal lung development and antioxidant responses, especially in the context of hyperoxia exposure. RNA seq implicates pathways essential for normal lung development are dysregulated by Se deficiency.

Project description:Cigarette smoke (CS) is an aerosol containing more than 6,000 chemicals and one of the risk factor in the development of chronic inflammatory lung disease. To evaluate biological effect of CS on human respiratory tract, organotypic bronchial epithelial cultures can be used to replicate in vivo tissue conditions. The MucilAir organotypic bronchial epithelial cultures were exposed to mainstream aerosols from the 3R4F cigarette and a novel tobacco vapor product (NTV), which we recently developed, using a Vitrocell exposure system. This system consists of three steps: the generation of CS, dilution, and exposure to an air-liquid interface cultured cells in a specially designed module. This exposure scenario mimics CS exposure in the human airway (i.e. direct aerosol exposure to the apical surface of air-liquid interface-cultured cells), We found a dose-dependent increase in the number of differentially expressed genes following 3R4F cigarette smoke exposure, compared with expression in air-exposed controls. In contrast, no changes were detected following exposure to NTV vapor.

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory airway disease characterized by emphysema and chronic bronchitis and a leading cause of mortality worldwide. COPD is commonly associated with several comorbid diseases which contribute to worse patient outcomes. Cigarette smoke (CS) is the most prominent risk factor for COPD development and progression and is known to be detrimental to numerous effector functions of lung resident immune cells, including phagocytosis and cytokine production. Methods: C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 8 weeks of CS as an experimental model of COPD. Airspace macrophages (AMs) were isolated from CS-exposed and RA mice and bulk RNA-Seq performed. The functional role of differentially expressed genes was assessed through gene ontology analyses. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was used to determine the activation states of canonical pathways and upstream regulators enriched in differentially expressed genes in AMs. Results: CS induced decreased expression of genes involved in pathogen response, phagosome formation, and immune cell trafficking in AMs. Conclusions: CS exposure can induce transcriptomic remodelling in AMs. Our study highlights the ability of CS exposure to affect immune cell populations distal to the lung and warrants further investigation into the functional effects of these changes and the ensuing role in driving multimorbid disease.

Project description:Protective roles of Nrf2, a key transcription factor for antioxidant and defense genes, have been determined in oxidative lung injury, and health benefits of Nrf2 agonists including sulforaphane have been demonstrated. The current study was designed to investigate the effect of sulforaphane on model acute lung injury and sulforaphane-mediated transcriptome changes in mouse lungs. Adult mice genetically deficient in Nrf2 (Nrf2-/-) and wild-type controls (Nrf2+/+, ICR) received oral sulforaphane (9 mmol/daily) or vehicle before (-5, -3, -1 days) hyperoxia or air exposure (3 days), and lung injury and gene expression changes were assessed. Sulforaphane significantly reduced hyperoxia-induced airway injury, inflammation, and mucus hypersecretion in Nrf2+/+ mice while relatively marginal treatment effect was found in Nrf2-/- mice. Sulforaphane significantly altered expression of lung genes associated with oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial dysfunction (Atp2a2, Cox7a1, Ndufa1) basally and cell function/cycle and protein metabolism (Actr1a, Wasf2, Ccne1, Gtpbp4) after hyperoxia in Nrf2+/+ mice. Nrf2-dependently modulated lung genes by sulforaphane and hyperoxia were associated with tissue development and hereditary disorders (Slc25a3, Pccb, Psmc3ip). Results demonstrate preventive roles of sulforaphane against oxidant lung injury in mice, and reveal potential downstream mechanisms. Our observations also suggest Nrf2-independent mechanisms of sulforaphane in prevention of acute lung injury.

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.
