Project description:The mast cell-specific metalloprotease CPA3 has been given important roles in lung tissue homeostasis and disease pathogenesis. However, the dynamics and spatial distribution of mast cells CPA3 expression in lung diseases remains unknown. Methods: Using a histology-based approach for spatial and quantitative simultaneous decoding of mRNA and protein expression at a single cell level, this study investigates the dynamics of CPA3 expression across mast cells residing in lungs from healthy controls and patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or idiopathic lung fibrosis (IPF). Results: Mast cells in COPD lungs had increased CPA3 mRNA (bronchioles p<0.001, pulmonary vessels p< 0.01, alveolar parenchyma p< 0.01) compared to controls, while granule stored CPA3 protein was unaltered. IPF lungs had a significant upregulation of both CPA3 mRNA (p<0.001) and protein (p<0.05) in the fibrotic alveolar tissue. IPF was also characterized by highest density of distal lung mast cells. As an indication of disease relevant increased CPA3 turnover, spatial expression maps revealed altered mast cell mRNA/protein quotients in lung areas subjected to disease-relevant histopathological alterations. Single cell RNA sequencing of bronchial mast cells confirmed CPA3 as a top expressed gene with potential links to both inflammatory and protective markers. Conclusion: This study shows that lung tissue mast cell populations in COPD and IPF-affected lungs have spatially complex and markedly up-regulated CPA3 expression profiles that correlates with sites of structural pathologies. Given the proposed roles of CPA3 in tissue homeostasis, remodeling and inflammation, these alterations are likely to have clinical consequences.

Project description:Mast cells originate from the bone marrow and develop into c-kit+ FcεRI+ cells. As both mast cell progenitors and mature mast cells express these cell surface markers, ways validated to distinguish between the two maturation forms with flow cytometry have been lacking. We identified and sorted two distinct populations of mast cells from mouse peritoneum. Gene expression microarray analyses were used to confirm the maturation statuses of the mast cell populations.

Project description:Mast cells are hematopoietic cells that reside preferentially in tissues exposed to internal and external environments. Mast cells sense immunological, inflammatory and environmental stimuli, and can be activated to release granules and generate inflammatory mediators. Mast cell-derived products confer protection against snake venoms and some parasite infections. Aberrant activation of mast cells is a major contributor to human pathology, including allergy, asthma and adverse drug reactions. Their strict tissue location has largely impeded the isolation of large numbers of primary mast cell for further analysis. To better understand the biology of mast cells, we analyzed the proteome of primary human and mouse mast cells by quantitative mass spectrometry. We identified a mast cell-specific protein signature that was conserved from mouse to man. Compared to a comprehensive set of other immune cell lineages, proteome analysis identified a unique and distant mast cell cluster. The mast cell signature included proteins governing granule biosynthesis and secretion, as well as proteoglycan- and neurotransmitter metabolism. Proteome conservation across species suggests evolutionary maintenance of mast cell functions.

Project description:BACKGROUND: In asthma and other allergic disorders, the activation of mast cells by IgE and antigen induces the cells to release histamine and other mediators of inflammation, as well as to produce certain cytokines and chemokines. To search for new mast cell products, we used complementary DNA microarrays to analyze gene expression in human umbilical cord blood-derived mast cells stimulated via the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcϵRI). : One to two hours after FcϵRI-dependent stimulation, more than 2,400 genes (about half of which are of unknown function) exhibited 2-200 fold changes in expression. The transcriptional program included changes in the expression of IL-11 and at least 30 other cytokines and chemokines. Human mast cells secreted 130-529 pg of IL-11/106 cells by 6 h after stimulation with anti-IgE. CONCLUSION: Our initial analysis of the transcriptional program induced in in vitro-derived human mast cells stimulated via the FcϵRI has identified many products that heretofore have not been associated with this cell type, but which may significantly influence mast cell function in IgE-associated host responses. We also have demonstrated that mast cells stimulated via the FcϵRI can secrete IL-11. Based on the previously reported biological effects of IL-11, our results suggest that production of IL-11 may represent one link between IgE-dependent mast cell activation in subjects with allergic asthma and the development of a spectrum of structural changes in the airways of these individuals; such changes, collectively termed "airway remodeling," can constitute an important long term consequence of asthma.

Project description:Left heart disease (LHD) frequently causes lung vascular remodelling and pulmonary hypertension (PH). Yet, pharmacological treatment for PH in LHD is lacking and its pathophysiological basis remains obscure. We aimed to identify candidate mechanisms of PH in LHD and to test their relevance and therapeutic potential. In rats, LHD was induced by supracoronary aortic banding. Whole genome microarray analyses were performed, candidate genes were confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blots and functional relevance was tested in vivo by genetic and pharmacological strategies. In lungs of LHD rats, mast cell activation was the most prominently upregulated gene ontology cluster. Mast cell gene upregulation was confirmed at RNA and protein levels and remodelled vessels showed perivascular mast cell accumulations. In LHD rats treated with the mast cell stabiliser ketotifen, or in mast cell deficient Ws/Ws rats, PH and vascular remodelling were largely attenuated. Both strategies also reduced PH and vascular remodelling in monocrotaline-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension, suggesting that the role of mast cells extends to noncardiogenic PH. In PH of different aetiologies, mast cells accumulate around pulmonary blood vessels and contribute to vascular remodelling and PH. Mast cells and mast cell-derived mediators may present promising targets for the treatment of PH. Whole rat genome microarray analyses were performed in lung homogenates of three rats with established PH following supracoronary aortic banding and in three sham-operated controls. Out of a total of 28,000 analysed genes, differential expression defined as 2-fold change with p<0.05 was evident for 120 genes. Of these, 76 were upregulated and 44 downregulated in aortic banding compared with control lungs gene. Enrichment analysis revealed regulation of mast cell specific genes - 13 out of 20 genes were significantly upregulated in aortic banding compared with control lungs. To test for a putative functional role of mast cells in lung vascular remodelling and PH in LHD, we applied a pharmacological approach by treatment of aortic banding rats with the mast cell stabiliser ketotifen. Microarray analysis then compared rats that were treated with untreated.

Project description:Activation of mast cells through FcεRI can result in allergic responses. The identity of mast cells progenitors is controversial, in particular whether these cells express FcεRI. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of human peripheral blood progenitors to study the appearance of FcεRI during hematopoietic progenitor differentiation.
