Project description:Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) limits the long term survival after lung transplantation. CLAD is diagnosed late on the decline in lung function, when any immuno-intervention is ineffective. Identification of early forerunners of CLAD is therefore essential to prevent the progression of the disease before irreversible damages to the allograft. We used large-scale gene expression profiling of whole blood cells to identify early biomarkers of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS), the main form of CLAD. Microarray experiments performed from 80 patients (40 stable (STA) and 40 BOS) identify 47 genes differentially expressed between STA and BOS recipients. An independent set of patients (13 STA, 11 BOS) was then used for external validation by qPCR. POU Class 2 Associating Factor 1 (POU2AF1), T-cell leukemia/lymphoma protein 1A (TCL1A) and B-cell lymphocyte kinase (BLK) genes were identified and validated as predictive markers of BOS more than 6 months before diagnosis with AUCs of 0.83, 0.77 and 0.78 respectively. These genes allow stratifying upon CLAD risk (log-rank test p<0.01) and could provide clinicians with new tools to improve follow-up and adapt treatment of patients likely to develop BOS.

Project description:Background: Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), the most common form of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), is the major limitation to long-term survival after lung transplantation. The patho-anatomical correlate is progressive, fibrotic occlusion of the small airways, so-called obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) –lesions, ultimately leading to organ failure. The molecular composition of these lesions is unknown. Methods: By combining laser-capture microdissection (LCM) and optimized sample preparation protocols for mass spectrometry (MS) we analyzed end-stage OB-lesions identified in explanted lungs from four end-stage BOS patients. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to follow selected proteins of interest on the tissue level. Results: We established protein signatures for in total 15 OB-lesions. A set of 12 proteins identified in all lesions included both distinct structural proteins (collagen type IV and VI) and cellular components (actins, vimentin, tryptase). Each respective lesion exhibited a unique composition of proteins (on average n=66), thereby mirroring the histomorphological variation of the lesions. Conclusions: Even though being distinct and focal pathologic events, OB-lesions showed considerable variations in their protein content, most likely reflecting different disease pathways. Combining spatial information and advanced protein identification, this study provides molecular and morphological insights essential for a better understanding of the development of chronic rejection after lung transplantation.

Project description:Background and objective: Long term outcomes of allograft recipients are compromised by the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) or bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) which initiates in the lung periphery. We established baseline transcriptomic profiles of both the large and small airway epithelial cells (referred as LAEC and SAEC, respectively) to identify regional differences irrespective of initiating disease. Methods: We obtained matched primary LAEC and SAEC from lung allograft recipients (n=4, 42.5±4.2 years) and established primary cultures. Bulk RNA sequencing was performed to determine differentially expressed genes. Results: We observed differences in the transcriptional program between LAEC and SAEC Transcription factors (TF) were ranked within the top ten differentially regulated genes. The most abundant TF families included C2H2-ZF, homeobox and bHLH. Upstream regulator analyses identified homeobox genes being significantly in LAEC. Protein-protein interaction network analysis emphasised the role of TFs (ISL1, MSX1, HOXA1, GATA6, ZNF423) in airway modulation. Additionally, functional enrichment analysis revealed the activation of chemotaxis, metalloendipeptidase/metallopeptidase activity and pro-inflammatory signatures (IL17 signalling and RAGE), in LAEC, while SAEC were characterised by elevated expression of surfactant metabolism related genes. Moreover, alveolar and club cells-related genes were expressed in SAEC, suggesting a lower airway-specific signature. Conclusion: Our analysis shows robust transcriptional differences between LAEC and SAEC. We suggest a potential role for homeobox TF family as well as the activation of the immune system in the biology of LAEC. Conversely, we observed an alveoli-like transcriptional signature in SAEC, including gas-exchange signals and surfactant metabolism; pathways involved in lung homeostasis.

Project description:Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) is the main limitation to long-term survival after lung transplantation. Although CLAD is usually not responsive to treatment, earlier identification may improve treatment prospects. In a nested case control study, 1-year post transplant surveillance bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples were obtained from incipient CLAD (n=9) and CLAD free (n=8) lung transplant recipients. Incipient CLAD cases were diagnosed with CLAD within 2 years, while controls were free from CLAD for at least 4 years following bronchoscopy. Transcription profiles in the BAL cell pellets were assayed with the HG-U133 Plus 2.0 microarray (Affymetrix). Differential gene expression analysis was performed to identify a candidate list of differentially expressed probe sets.

Project description:Background: Aspergillus colonization after lung transplant is associated with an increased risk of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). We hypothesized that gene expression during Aspergillus colonization could provide clues to CLAD pathogenesis. Methods: We examined transcriptional profiles in 3 or 6-month surveillance bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cell pellets from recipients with A. fumigatus colonization (n=12) and without colonization (n=10). Among the Aspergillus colonized, we also explored profiles in those who developed CLAD (n=6) or remained CLAD free (n=6). Transcription profiles were assayed with the HG-U133 Plus 2.0 microarray (Affymetrix). Statistical Analysis: Differential gene expression analyses were performed to select candidate lists of genes. Functional analyses on these selected genes were explored.

Project description:Transplanted lungs suffer worse outcomes than other organ transplants with many developing chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), diagnosed by physiologic changes. Histology of transbronchial biopsies (TBB) yields little insight, and the molecular basis of CLAD is not defined. We hypothesized that gene expression in TBBs would reveal the nature of CLAD and distinguish CLAD from changes due simply to time posttransplant. Time was associated with increased expression of inflammation genes e.g. CD1E and immunoglobulins. After correcting for time, CLAD manifested not as inflammation but as parenchymal response-to-wounding, with increased expression of genes such as HIF1A, SERPINE2, and IGF1 that are increased in many injury and disease states and cancers, associated with development, angiogenesis, and epithelial response-to-wounding in pathway analysis. Fibrillar collagen genes were increased in CLAD, indicating matrix changes, and normal transcripts were decreased – dedifferentiation. Gene-based classifiers predicted CLAD with AUC 0.70 (no time-correction) and 0.87 (time-corrected). CLAD-related gene sets and classifiers were strongly prognostic for graft failure and correlated with CLAD stage. Thus, in TBBs molecular changes indicate that CLAD primarily reflects severe parenchymal injury-induced changes and dedifferentiation.

Project description:Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have been proposed as a future cell based therapy for lung diseases like bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Theoretically, it might be beneficial to use lung resident MSC already adapted to the pulmonary environment. We therefore aimed to compare lung MSC with the well-characterized bone marrow MSC. Furthermore, MSC isolated from lung-transplanted patients with BOS were compared to MSC isolated from good outcome recipients. Methods: MSC were isolated from bone marrow (BM) and adult/fetal lung tissues and compared by a comprehensive panel of assays. Results:The gene expression profiles of adult lung derived and fetal lung derived MSC were very similar compared to BM derived MSC, with only 235 and 338 genes, respectively, being significantly differently expressed. Out of the 235 genes that were significantly different between adult lung derived and BM derived MSC, 90 genes were higher expressed in the lung derived MSC. In case of fetal lung derived MSC, 166 genes were higher expressed compared to the BM derived MSC. Interestingly, only, 89 genes were found to be expressed differently when comparing BM derived MSC to both, fetal and adult lung derived MSC, indicating that these genes are lung specific. Next, we went on to evaluate if MSC isolated from biopsies of lung-transplanted patients with BOS differed compared to patients without BOS, i.e. good outcome recipients. Here we found that four genes (Sox9, FAR2, LOC728855 and NDUFS5) were significantly higher expressed in MSC isolated from BOS patients Conclusions: This data demonstrates that lung resident MSC possess lung specific properties that should be taken into considerations when using MSC for cell-based therapy in severe lung disorders like BOS. These results also show that MSC isolated from lung-transplanted patients with BOS do not have an altered phenotype.
