An alveolus lung on a chip model of Mycobacterium fortuitum lung infection


ABSTRACT: Lung disease due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is rising in incidence. While both 2D cell culture and animal models exist for NTM infections, a major knowledge gap is the early responses of human alveolar and innate immune cells to NTM within the human lung microenvironment. Here we describe development of a humanized, 3D, alveolus lung-on-a-chip (ALoC) model of Mycobacterium fortuitum infection that incorporates only primary human cells such as pulmonary vascular endothelial cells in a vascular channel, and type I and II alveolar cells and monocyte-derived macrophages in an alveolar channel along an air-liquid interface. M. fortuitum introduced into the alveolar channel primarily infected macrophages, with rare bacteria inside alveolar cells. Bulk-RNA sequencing of infected chips revealed marked upregulation of transcripts for cytokines, chemokines and secreted protease inhibitors (SERPINs). Our results demonstrate how a humanized ALoC system can identify critical early immune and epithelial responses to M. fortuitum infection. We envision potential application of the ALoC to other NTM and for studies of new antibiotics
