TGF-beta treated airway epithelium

ABSTRACT: Despite being exposed to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection multiple times in our lives, infants, older-adults, and immunocompromised patients are vulnerable to RSV-associated severe diseases, such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia. Respiratory viral infections are known to promote pulmonary fibrosis formation, which are often associated with a cellular remodeling process epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, there is no information on whether RSV causes EMT in bronchial epithelial cells. Our results suggest that RSV-infection does not induce EMT in three different in vitro lung models: epithelial A549 cell line, primary normal human bronchial epithelial cells, and pseudostratified airway epithelium. Interestingly, RSV infection increased cell surface area and perimeter in the infected airway epithelium, which is distinct from the TGF-β1 driven cell elongation. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis also revealed that RSV infection is not involved in cell motility and locomotion. Thus, our results suggest that RSV infection does not induce EMT in the airway epithelium

Activation of STAT3-mediated ciliated cell survival protects against severe infection by respiratory syncytial virus

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) selectively targets ciliated cells in human bronchial epithelium and can cause bronchiolitis and pneumonia mostly in infants. To identify molecular targets of intervention during RSV infection in infants, we investigate how age regulates RSV interaction with the bronchial epithelium barrier. Employing precision-cut lung slices and air-liquid interface cultures generated from infant and adult human donors, we found robust RSV virus spread and extensive apoptotic cell death only in infant bronchial epithelium. In contrast, adult bronchial epithelium showed insignificant barrier damage and limited RSV infection. Single nuclear RNA-sequencing revealed age-related insufficiency of an anti-apoptotic STAT3 activation response to RSV infection in infant ciliated cells, which was exploited to facilitate virus spread via the extruded apoptotic ciliated cells carrying RSV. Activation of STAT3 and blockade of apoptosis rendered protection against severe RSV infection in infant bronchial epithelium. Lastly, apoptotic inhibitor treatment of a neonatal mouse model of RSV infection ameliorated infection and inflammation in the lung. Taken together, our findings identify a STAT3-mediated anti-apoptosis pathway as a target to battle severe RSV disease in infants.

RSV-induced Cytoskeletal Inflammation

Project description:We studied RSV infection in an appropriate in vitro model of respiratory epithelium, a pseudostratified and fully differentiated mucociliary epithelium of normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells. RSV infection increased actin cytoskeleton without compromising adherent-, tight-, and tricellular-junctions as well as ciliary functions and epithelial tissue barrier integrity. This increased cytoskeleton depends on actin polymerization and the induction of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Thus, we observed a novel signature “increased cytoskeleton” termed “cytoskeletal inflammation” in RSV-infected respiratory epithelium that presumably lacks classical antigen presenting cells, such as resident dendritic cells and macrophages. Our results suggest that RSV-induced cytoskeletal inflammation is a noncanonical earliest host response to the pathogen and contributes to airway inflammation.

The secretome profiling of a pediatric airway epithelium infected with hRSV identified aberrant apical/basolateral trafficking and novel immune modulating (CXCL6, CXCL16, CSF3) and antiviral (CEACAM1) proteins.

Project description:The respiratory epithelium comprises polarized cells at the interface between the environment and airway tissues. Polarized apical and basolateral protein secretions are a feature of airway epithelium homeostasis. Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is a major human pathogen that primarily targets the respiratory epithelium. However, the consequences of hRSV infection on epithelium secretome polarity and content remain poorly understood. To investigate the hRSV-associated apical and basolateral secretomes, a proteomics approach was combined with an ex-vivo pediatric airway epithelial model (HAE) of hRSV infection. Following infection, a skewing of apical/basolateral abundance ratios was identified for several individual proteins. Novel modulators of neutrophil and lymphocyte activation (CXCL6, CSF3, SECTM1 or CXCL16), and antiviral proteins (BST2 or CEACAM1) were specifically detected upon infection. Importantly, CXCL6, CXCL16, CSF3 were also detected in nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) from hRSV-infected infants but not healthy controls. Furthermore, the antiviral activity of CEACAM1 against RSV was confirmed in vitro using BEAS-2B cells. hRSV infection disrupted the polarity of the pediatric respiratory epithelial secretome and was associated with immune modulating (CXCL6, CXCL16, CSF3) and antiviral (CEACAM1) proteins never linked with this virus before. This study, therefore, provides novel insights into RSV pathogenesis and endogenous antiviral responses in pediatric airway epithelium

The response of human primary airway epithelial cells to Influenza or RSV infection [hAECs_Agilent].

Project description:To investigate how human airway epithelial cells respond to Influenza or RSV infection, we harvested airway epithelial cells from the mainstream bronchi of human donors and cultured them as previously described (Pickles et al,1998) in a polarized system that resembles the in vivo mucociliary pseudostratified epithelium. Quadruplicate hAEC cultures were infected with 2X105 PFUs Influenza A (Udorn) or with 1x106 PFUs RSV for 2h or mock inoculated and harvested 24h after Influenza infection and 48h after RSV infection. Quadruplicate polarized airway epithelial cell cultures were mock treated or infected with 2x10^5 PFUs of Influenza A (Udorn) for 2h or infected with 1x10^6 PFUs RSV and harvested 24 h post infection for Influenza or 48h post infection for RSV. Total RNA was harvested and gene expression was studied using Genespring GX v7.3.1.

Transcription profiling of human bronchial airway epithelial cells infected with P. aeruginosa, S.aureus or respiratory syncytial virus vs uninfected controls to investigate the role of epithelial cells upon infection of airway pathogens

Project description:Bronchial epithelial cells represent the first line of defense against invading airborne pathogens. They are important contributors to innate mucosal immunity and provide a variety of anti-microbial effectors. To investigate the role of epithelial cells upon infection of airway pathogens, we stimulated BEAS-2B cells for 4 h with UV-inactivated bronchial pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Respiratory Syncitial Virus (RSV) that among other receptors can strongly activate TLR2, TLR4 and TLR3, respectively. Experiment Overall Design: All conditions were done in triplicates except for Staphylococcus aureus, were two replicates were done. As a control, unstimulated BEAS-2B were used. Altogether 11 arrays were hybridized.

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe disease mostly in infants; however, mechanisms of age association remain elusive. Here, employing human bronchial epithelium models generated from tracheal aspirate-derived basal stem cells of neonates and adults, we investigate whether age regulates RSV-epithelium interaction to determine disease severity. We show that following RSV infection, only neonatal epithelium model exhibits cytopathy and mucus hyperplasia, and neonatal epithelium has more robust viral spread and inflammatory responses than adult epithelium. Mechanistically, RSV-infected neonatal ciliated cells display age-related impairment of STAT3 activation, rendering susceptibility to apoptosis, which facilitates viral spread. In contrast, SARS-CoV-2 infection of ciliated cells has no effect on STAT3 activation and is not affected by age. Taken together, our findings identify an age-related and RSV-specific interaction with neonatal bronchial epithelium that critically contributes to severity of infection, and STAT3 activation offers a potential strategy to battle severe RSV disease in infants.
