Eosinophils promote lung emphysema via CTSL

ABSTRACT: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) having higher blood eosinophil levels exhibit worse lung function and more severe emphysema, implying the potential role of eosinophils in emphysema development. However, the specific mechanism underlying eosinophil-mediated emphysema development is not fully elucidated. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing was used to identify eosinophil subgroups in mouse models of asthma and emphysema and analyze their functions. Analysis of the accumulated eosinophils revealed differential transcriptomes between the mouse lungs of elastase-induced emphysema and ovalbumin-induced asthma., Eosinophil depletion alleviated elastase-induced emphysema. Notably, eosinophil-derived cathepsin L (CTSL) degraded the extracellular matrix (ECM), causing emphysema in the pulmonary tissue. Eosinophils were positively correlated with serum CTSL levels, which were increased in patients with emphysema than in those without emphysema. Collectively, these results suggest that CTSL expression in eosinophils plays an important role in ECM degradation and remodeling and is related to emphysema in patients with COPD. Therefore, eosinophil-derived CTSL may serve as a potential therapeutic target for patients with emphysema.

Proteomic analysis of human eosinophils in patients with asthma-COPD overlap and eosinophilic COPD

Project description:Activated eosinophils is a major cell type to be mainly involved in allergic diseases. Recent studies also indicated that eosinophils play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially asthma-COPD overlap and/or eosinophil COPD. The aim of this study is to clarify cellular characters of human eosinophils in patients with asthma-COPD overlap and/or eosinophil COPD.

Transcriptional profiles of peripheral eosinophils in COPD and asthma - a preliminary study

Project description:The role of eosinophilic inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathogenesis is unknown and is probably different than in asthma. The molecular processes underlying the differences between eosinophils from asthma and COPD have not been studied. The study group included 5 patients with asthma and 4 patients with COPD. The RNA-Seq data analysis identified 26 differentially expressed genes between COPD and asthma (according to adjusted p-value). In total, 6 genes were up-regulated (CCL3L1, CCL4L2, SERPINB2, PRSS21, GPR82) and 20 were down-regulated (e.g. JUN, IFITM3, DUSP1, GNG7, ZNF107, BCL6) in peripheral eosinophils of COPD patients compared to asthma. Biological processes associated with down-regulated genes were cell differentiation, positive regulation of RNA metabolic process. The genes associated with signaling of IL-4 and IL-13 pathway were down-regulated in COPD eosinophils compared to asthma. Peripheral eosinophils from COPD and asthma patients present different transcriptomic profiles suggesting their different function in pathobiology of both obstructive airway diseases.

Transcriptomics of circulating human eosinophils

Project description:Global expression pattern in eosinophils in various conditions such as eosinophilic asthma, hypereosinophilic dermatological diseases, parasitosis and pulmonary aspergillosis. Eosinophil were isolated from peripheral blood by FACS from 4 hypereosinophilic conditions: eosinophilic asthma (4 replicates), hypereosinophilic dermatological diseases (3 replicates), parasitosis (3 replicates) and pulmonary aspergillosis (4 replicates).

Mepenzolate bromide displays beneficial effects in a mouse model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Project description:For the clinical treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it is important not only to improve the airflow limitation by bronchodilation but also to suppress emphysema by controlling inflammation. In this study, we have screened for compounds that prevent elastase-induced airspace enlargement in mice from medicines already used clinically. Mepenzolate bromide, a muscarinic antagonist used to treat gastrointestinal disorders was selected. Intratracheal administration or inhalation of mepenzolate bromide decreased the severity of elastase-induced airspace enlargement, alteration of lung mechanics and respiratory dysfunction. While mepenzolate bromide showed bronchodilatory activity, most of other muscarinic antagonists tested did not improve the elastase-induced pulmonary disorders. Mepenzolate bromide suppressed elastase-induced pulmonary inflammatory responses and production of superoxide anions, and reduced the level of cigarette smoke-induced airspace enlargement and alteration of lung mechanics. Based on these results, we propose that this drug is therapeutically effective for COPD as a consequence of both its anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory activities.

Reversal of emphysema by restoration of pulmonary endothelial cells

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogenous disorder marked by small airway inflammation and distal airspace enlargement (emphysema) leading to progressive airflow obstruction and eventual respiratory failure. Current therapies are limited in their ability to halt the pathogenesis of COPD merely relieving symptoms of dyspnea and airflow limitation. Microvasculature dysfunction, an understudied area of investigation, is associated with the severity of COPD. However, it is not known if abnormal lung endothelium drives COPD pathology and/or if correcting endothelial dysfunction has therapeutic potential. Here, we show the centrality of specialized pulmonary endothelial cells to lung pathogenesis in an elastase-induced murine model of COPD. Airspace disease was marked by aberrant endothelial cell loss and dysfunction, which was rescued by intravenous delivery of healthy lung endothelial cells. Airspace injury triggered regulation of a distinct module of maladaptive endothelial transcripts comprising lost endothelial cell function. Endothelial leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein-1 (LRG1) was identified as a key driver of the emphysematous pathology and selective deletion of Lrg1 from endothelial cells rescued elastase-induced defects of pulmonary parenchymal destruction. Hence, targeting lung endothelial cell biology through regenerative methods and/or inhibition of the LRG1 pathway may represent novel therapeutic strategies of immense potential for the treatment of emphysema.

Mouse resident lung eosinophils are dependent on IL-5

Project description:Purpose: we aimed to characterized eosinophils in the murine model of asthma Methods: Eosinophils were sorted from the lung of naïve and and HDM-induced asthma mice. There after RNA was extracted from the sorted eosinophils and subjected to RNAseq. Results:we demonstrated that resident lung eosinophils require IL-5 for their survival and that the expression of Siglec-F, is regulated by IL-5 . Conclusion: Our data suggest that the distinct eosinophil populations in the asthmatic lung represent a continuum of activation states rather than distinct eosinophil subsets.

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 10 is essential for lung morphogenesis

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 10 is essential for lung morphogenesis and polymorphisms in the Fgf10 region are linked with higher susceptibility towards COPD in human patients. We found that FGF10 signaling is impaired in lung septal wall compartment from COPD patients. Mice with impaired FGF10 signaling (Fgf10+/-) were more prone to develop cigarette smoke (CS)-induced emphysema and pulmonary hypertension (PH). Furthermore, FGF10 overexpression could successfully reverse cigarette smoke-induced emphysema and PH in mice.

COPD lungs show an attached stratified mucus layer resembling the protective colonic mucus

Project description:Mucus accumulation is a key feature of respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is associated with goblet cell metaplasia and mucin overexpression, which can be induced by the increased activity of neutrophil elastase. The aim of the study was to characterization of mucus and epithelial cell proteomics in a porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) mouse model of COPD/CF. The major proteins detected in mucus plugs obtained from PPE-treated mice included mucins Muc5ac and Muc5b, mucus-related proteins Clca1, Fcgbp, and Bpifb1. These proteins were upregulated in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and epithelial cells in mice exposed to elastase. Similar changes were found in BAL fluid of COPD patients.
