Project description:A hallmark of type 2 inflammation in rhinosinusitis is the presence of eosinophilic infiltrates. In the lung, the cysteine protease papain causes robust type 2 inflammation due to innate mucosal immunity triggered by interleukin-33 release from the epithelial lining. As these effects are poorly understood for the sinonasal tissues, we investigated the epithelial and inflammatory findings induced by short-term papain instillation in the upper airway. C57BL/6 mice were intranasally exposed to papain and PBS as a model for protease-induced epithelial injury inflammation. We assessed the upper airway for changes mRNA shifts by microarray.

Project description:Inhaled allergen challenge of subjects with allergic asthma allows the study of mechanisms involved in allergen-induced airway inflammation. The objective of this study was to identify changes in the plasma proteome associated with a late phase response (LPR) causing airway obstruction occurring 4-8 hours after the initial early response. Serial plasma samples from asthmatics undergoing inhaled allergen challenge were analyzed. Mass spectrometry data was analyzed using a linear regression to model the relationship between the degree of airway obstruction during the LPR and plasma proteome changes evoked by the inhaled allergen challenge. Inhaled allergen challenge induced changes in the plasma proteome including upregulation of the protease inhibitors alpha-1-antitrypsin, alpha-1-antichymotrypsin and plasma serine protease inhibitor. Out of 396 quantified proteins, 150 showed a statistically significant change 23 hours post allergen challenge. Further proteomic changes were associated with the LPR, including altered levels of coagulation factors such as an increased factor XII A and a decreased von Willebrand factor. Allergic reactions to inhaled allergens in asthmatic subjects was associated with changes in a large proportion of the measured plasma proteome, whereof protease inhibitors show the largest changes, likely to influence the inflammatory response. Of several other proteins altered in relation to the LPR, many are associated with coagulation.

Project description:Allergen exposure induces the airway epithelium to produce chemoattractants, proallergic interleukins, matrix-modifying proteins, and proteins that influence the growth and activation state of airway structural cells. These proteins, in turn, contribute to the influx of inflammatory cells and changes in structure that characterize the asthmatic airway. To use the response of the airway epithelium to allergen to identify genes not previously associated with allergic responses, we compared gene expression in cytokeratin-positive cells before and after segmental allergen challenge. After challenge with concentrations of allergen in the clinically relevant range, 755 (6%) of the detectable sequences had geometric mean fold-changes in expression, with 95% confidence intervals that excluded unity. Using a prospectively defined conservative filtering algorithm, we identified 141 sequences as upregulated and eight as downregulated, with confirmation by conventional polymerase chain reaction in all 10 sequences studied. Using this approach, we identified asthma-associated sequences including interleukin (IL-)-3, IL-4, and IL-5 receptor subunits, the p65 component of nuclear factor-kappaB, and lipocortin. The genomic response of the human airway to concentrations of allergen in the clinically relevant range involves a greater number of genes than previously recognized, including many not previously associated with asthma that are differentially expressed after airway allergen exposure.

Project description:Exaggerated airway constriction triggered by exposure to irritants such as allergen, also called hyperreactivity, is a hallmark of asthma and can be life-threatening. Aside from immune cells, vagal sensory neurons are important for airway hyperreactivity 1-4. However, the identity and signature of the downstream nodes of this adaptive circuit remains poorly understood. Here we show that Dbh+ neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (nTS) of the brainstem, and downstream neurons in the nucleus ambiguus (NA), are both necessary and sufficient for chronic allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity. We found that repeated exposures of mice to inhaled allergen activates nTS neurons in a mast cell-, interleukin 4 (IL-4)- and vagal nerve-dependent manner. Single-nucleus RNA-seq followed by RNAscope quantification of the nTS at baseline and following allergen challenges reveals that a Dbh+ population is preferentially activated. Ablation or chemogenetic inactivation of Dbh+ nTS neurons blunted, while chemogenetic activation promoted hyperreactivity. Viral tracing indicates that Dbh+ nTS neurons, capable of producing norepinephrine, project to the NA, and NA neurons are necessary and sufficient to relay allergen signals to postganglionic neurons that then directly drive airway constriction. Focusing on transmitters, delivery of norepinephrine antagonists to the NA blunted allergen-induced hyperreactivity. Together, these findings provide molecular, anatomical and functional definitions of key nodes of a canonical allergen response circuit. The knowledge opens the possibility of targeting neural modulation as an approach to control refractory allergen-induced airway constriction.

Project description:Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) promote anti-helminth responses and contribute to allergies. Though Bcl11b has been previously considered a T-lineage identity transcription factor (TF) that restrains the innate-cell genetic programs, we report here that Bcl11b is highly expressed in mature ILC2s and acts upstream of the key ILC2 TFs Gfi1, Gata-3, and of IL-33 receptor IL1rl1 (T1ST2). Additionally, Bcl11b-/- ILC2s de-repressed Rorγt, Ahr and IL-23 receptor, normally expressed in type-3 ILCs (ILC3s). Consequently, Bcl11b-/- ILC2s lost ILC2 functions and gained ILC3 functions, expanding in response to the protease allergen papain, however producing IL-17 and IL-22, and not IL-5 and IL-13, causing lung neutrophilia rather than eosinophilia, and diminished mucus production. Our results broaden Bcl11b's role from a T-cell only TF, and establishes that Bcl11b sustains mature ILC2 genetic and functional programs and lineage fidelity through positive regulation of essential ILC2 TFs and negative regulation of pivotal ILC3 TFs.

Project description:This protocol outlines a single-site mechanistic study aiming to investigate long RNAs differentially expressed in the airway epithelium of asthma patients both at baseline and in response to segmental airway allergen challenges. Over approximately 14 days, the study spanned three visits: Visit 1: Comprehensive characterization of participants, encompassing lung function testing, methacholine challenge testing, and allergen skin prick testing. Visit 2: Participants underwent bronchoscopy wherein three procedures were performed a. Epithelial brushings were performed in a segmental airway (baseline sample) b. Diluent (inactive control) was instilled into another segmental airway c. A small dose of allergen was administered into a third segmental airway using standardized cat or dust mite allergen extracts. Visit 3 (24 hours or 7 days post Visit 2): Another bronchoscopy was carried out to collect epithelial brushings in the diluent challenged and allergen challenged segments The collected epithelial brush samples underwent analysis for mRNA expression in the epithelial brushings. The study successfully incorporated a total of 23 subjects, which included 18 asthmatics (with stable or well-controlled conditions), 2 allergic non-asthmatics, and 3 non-allergic non-asthmatics.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) exert powerful effects on immunity through coordinate regulation of multiple target genes in a wide variety of cells. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are tissue sentinel mediators of allergic inflammation. We established the physiological requirements for miRNAs in ILC2 homeostasis and immune function, and compared the global miRNA repertoire of resting and activated ILC2s and T helper type 2 (TH2) cells. Mice lacking the miR-17~92 cluster in ILC2s displayed reduced lung inflammation following exposure to the natural allergen papain. Moreover, miR-17~92-deficient ILC2s exhibited defective growth and cytokine expression in response to IL-33 and TSLP in vitro. The miR-17~92 cluster member miR-19a promoted IL-13 production and inhibited expression of several target genes, including SOCS1 and A20, signaling inhibitors that limit IL-13 production. These findings establish miRNAs as important regulators of ILC2 biology, reveal overlapping but non-identical miRNA-regulated gene expression networks in ILC2s and TH2 cells, and reinforce the therapeutic potential of targeting miR-19 to alleviate pathogenic allergic responses .
