Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an intractable disorder with a poor prognosis. Although macrophages are known to promote both the initiation and resolution of lung injury in reversible PF, it remains unclear how macrophages contribute to the progression of chronic PF. The object of this study was to investigate the role of inflammatory monocyte-derived macrophages (MMs) in the transcriptomic signatures of the lung tissue cells from murine progressive PF. We collected CD45-negative lung tissue cells from silica-treated CCR2 knockout and WT mice on days 28, 40 and untreated mice on day 0 post-aspiration and performed global transcriptome analyses using microarray. Data were analyzed by fuzzy c-means or CLICK clustering, gene set enrichment analysis, and network analyses. Global transcriptome analyses revealed that MM deficiency potentiated changes in gene-expression in tissue cells, closely matching trends seen in human chronic PF. Regulatory network analysis of transcriptome data suggested that MM-derived factors, such as tumor necrosis factor-α, were involved in the suppression of tissue remodeling-related gene expression. Overall, these results demonstrate that MMs suppress tissue cell responses and associated pathology in progressive PF.

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a progressive fibrotic disease with a poor prognosis and suboptimal therapeutic options. The complement molecule C1q, which plays an important role in the phagocytic capacity of macrophages, has recently been reported to exacerbate several fibrosis-related diseases. On the other hand, there are still no reports in PF. Here, we analyzed gene expression changes of C1q-administrated murine lungs.

Project description:Comparative analysis of FACS-sorted CCR2- and CCR2+ HSC in the steady state. CCR2+ HSC have fourfold higher proliferative rates than CCR2- HSC, are are biased towards the myeloid lineage and dominate the migratory HSC population. Comparison of pooled CCR2- and CCR2+ HSC (bone marrow from 20 mice pooled for each sample), three biological replicates each.

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an intractable disorder with a poor prognosis. Although lung fibroblasts play central roles in PF, their key regulatory molecules remain unclear. To identify PF pathology-associated gene modules and their hub TFs in activated lung fibroblasts, we performed time-course transcriptome analysis of the fibroblasts purified from the lungs of bleomycin- and silica-treated Col1a2-GFP reporter mice.

Project description:Non-invasive or minimally invasive surrogate approaches to detect/predict target organ toxicity have significant practical applications in occupational toxicology. Presently, using a rat model, we have investigated the potential application of peripheral blood transcriptomics as a practical approach to study the mechanisms of silica-induced pulmonary toxicity. Rats were exposed by inhalation to crystalline silica for one week (15 mg/m3, 6-hours/day, 5 days/week). Pulmonary toxicity and global gene expression profiles of lungs and peripheral blood were determined in the control and silica exposed rats at 32-weeks following termination of silica exposure. A significant elevation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and moderate histological changes in the lungs, including type II pneumocyte hyperplasia and fibrosis, indicated silica-induced pulmonary toxicity in the rats. Similarly, significant infiltration of neutrophils and elevated monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP1) level in the lungs suggested silica-induced pulmonary inflammation in the rats. Microarray analysis of global gene expression profiles identified significant differential expression (>1.5 fold change and FDR p<0.01) of 520 and 537 genes, respectively, in the lungs and blood of the silica exposed rats. Bioinformatics analysis of the differentially expressed genes demonstrated significant similarity in the biological processes, molecular networks, and canonical pathways enriched by silica exposure in the lungs and blood of the rats. Several genes involved in functions relevant to silica-induced pulmonary toxicity such as inflammation, respiratory diseases, cancer, cellular movement, fibrosis, etc, were found significantly differentially expressed in the lungs and blood of the silica exposed rats. The results of this study, in addition to providing molecular insights into the mechanisms underlying silica-induced pulmonary toxicity, suggested the potential application of peripheral blood gene expression profiling as a toxicologically relevant and minimally invasive surrogate approach to study the mechanisms underlying silica-induced pulmonary toxicity.

A total of 12 rat blood samples were analyzed in this gene expression experiment. Rats were exposed to crystalline silica at a concentration of 15 mg/m3, 6-hours/day for 5 consecutive days. Rats exposed simultaneously to filtered air served as the controls. The control (n=6) and silica exposed (n=6) rats were sacrificed at post-exposure time interval of 32 weeks following termination of silica exposure and blood gene expression profiles were determined.

Project description:A proper understanding of the mechanisms underlying crystalline silica-induced pulmonary toxicity has implications in the management and potential prevention of the adverse health effects associated with silica exposure including silicosis, cancer and several auto-immune diseases. Human lung type II epithelial cells and rat lungs exposed to crystalline silica were employed as experimental models to determine global gene expression changes in order to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying silica-induced pulmonary toxicity. The differential gene expression profile induced by silica correlated with its toxicity in the A549 cells. The biological processes perturbed by silica exposure in the A549 cells and rat lungs, as identified by the bioinformatic analysis of the differentially expressed genes, demonstrated significant similarity. Functional categorization of the differentially expressed genes identified cancer, cellular movement, cellular growth and proliferation, cell death, inflammatory response, cell cycle, cellular development, and genetic disorder as top-ranking biological functions perturbed by silica exposure in the A549 cells and rat lungs. The involvement of oxidative stress and apoptosis in the silica-induced pulmonary toxicity was confirmed by ELISA and confocal microscopy analysis, respectively, of the silica-exposed A549 cells. Results of our study, in addition to confirming several previously identified molecular targets and mechanisms involved in silica toxicity, identified novel molecular targets and mechanisms potentially involved in silica-induced pulmonary toxicity. Further investigations, including those focused on the novel molecular targets and mechanisms identified in the current study, may result in a better management and, possibly, reduction and/or prevention of the potential adverse health effects associated with crystalline silica exposure.
