Project description:Memory helper T cells provide long-lasting host defeMemory helper T cells provide long-lasting host defense against microbial pathogens, while distinct subpopulations of memory T cells drive chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma. Asthma is a chronic allergic inflammatory disease with airway remodeling including fibrotic changes. The immunological mechanisms that induce airway fibrotic changes in allergic inflammation remain unknown. We found that Interleukin-33 (IL-33) enhanced Amphiregulin production by the IL-33 receptor, ST2hi memory T helper-2 (Th2) cells. Amphiregulin-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mediated signaling directly reprogramed eosinophils to an inflammatory state with enhanced production of Osteopontin, a key profibrotic immunomodulatory protein. IL-5-producing memory Th2 cells and Amphiregulin-producing memory Th2 cells appeared to cooperate to establish lung fibrosis. The analysis of polyps from patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis revealed fibrosis with accumulation of Amphiregulin-producing CRTH2hiCD161hiCD45RO+CD4+ Th2 cells and Osteopontin-producing eosinophils. Thus, the IL-33-Amphiregulin-Osteopontin axis directs fibrotic responses in eosinophilic airway inflammation and is a potential target for the treatment of fibrosis induced by chronic allergic disorders. against microbial pathogens, while distinct subpopulations of memory T cells drive chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma.

Project description:Mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils play an important role in allergic disorders as effector cells. These cells secrete abundant serine proteases as well as chemical mediators and cytokines. Various serine proteases including SLPI are also important for to regulate an allergic response in these effector cells, although the expression profiles and functions of these proteases still remain unclear. We carried out DNA microarrays to clarify the role of SLPI in allergic responses.

Project description:Uncontrolled type 2 immunity by type 2 helper T (Th2) cells causes intractable allergic diseases; however, whether the interaction of CD4+ T cells shapes the pathophysiology of allergic diseases remains unclear. We identified a subset of Th2 cells that produced the serine proteases granzyme A and B early in differentiation. Granzymes cleave protease-activated receptor (Par)-1 and induce phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), resulting in the enhanced production of IL-5 and IL-13 in both mouse and human Th2 cells. Ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) regulates IL-4-induced phosphorylation of STAT3, resulting in granzyme production during Th2 cell differentiation. Genetic deletion of Usp7 or Gzma and pharmacological blockade of granzyme B ameliorated allergic airway inflammation. Furthermore, PAR-1+ and granzyme+ Th2 cells were colocalized in nasal polyps from patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis. Thus, the USP7-STAT3-granzymes-Par-1 pathway is a potential therapeutic target for intractable allergic diseases.

Project description:Primary objectives: This study aims at (further) revealing the pathophysiology of intestinal IR in man, with a specific interest for the role of proteases and protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2), cellular and inflammatory changes, barrier function and intestinal permeability, microscopic mucosal changes and gene expression patterns. An important element will be the determination of the effects of protease- and MMP inhibitors. By these means we hope to identify preventive and therapeutic strategies for patients with intestinal IR.
Primary endpoints: The primary endpoint in this study is inflammation (neutrophil influx, complement activation, interleukins, TNF-α, COX 1-2) and protease activity in tissue as well as in blood plasma.

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:Eosinophils are elusive cells involved in allergic inflammation. Herein, we profiled 586 human eosinophils from the circulation and an allergic inflammatory site, the esophagus, of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis by Seq-Well–based single-cell RNA sequencing. The esophageal eosinophils were composed of a population of activated eosinophils (enriched in 659 genes compared with peripheral blood-associated eosinophils) and a small population of eosinophils resembling peripheral blood eosinophils (enriched in 62 genes compared with esophageal eosinophils). Esophageal eosinophils expressed genes involved in sensing and responding to diverse stimuli, most notably interferon-Ɣ(IFN-Ɣ), interleukin 10 (IL-10), histamine and leukotrienes, and succinate metabolite signaling. Esophageal eosinophils were most distinguished from other esophageal populations by gene expression of the receptors CCR3, HRH4, SUCNR1, and VSTM1; transcription factors CEBPE, OLIG1, and OLIG2; protease PRSS33; and hallmark eosinophil gene CLC. A web of bidirectional eosinophil interactions with other myeloid cells, T cells, fibroblasts, and the epithelium and vasculature was derived. Comparing esophageal eosinophils and mast cells revealed that esophageal eosinophils expressed genes involved in DAP12 interactions, IgG receptor-triggered events, immunoregulation, and IL-10 signaling, whereas esophageal mast cells expressed genes involved in arachidonic acid metabolism and response to unfolded proteins. These findings indicate that esophageal eosinophils exist as two populations, a minority population resembling blood eosinophils and the other population characterized by high de novo transcription of diverse sensing receptors and inflammatory mediators readying them to intersect with diverse cell types.

Project description:Allergic airway inflammation is a chronic inflammatory condition resulting from uncontrolled immune responses to environmental antigens. While it is well-established that allergic immune responses exhibit a high degree of diversity, driven by primary effector cell types like eosinophils, neutrophils, or CD4 T cells with distinct effector signatures, the exact mechanisms responsible for such pathogenesis remain largely elusive. Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) is an indispensable immune regulator during chronic inflammation including allergic airway inflammation. Emerging evidence suggests that Tregs infiltrating inflamed tissues exhibit distinct phenotypes dependent on the specific tissue sites and can display significant heterogeneity and tissue residency. Whether diverse allergic inflammatory responses in the lung influences infiltrating Treg heterogeneity or Treg lung residency has not previously been explored. We employed an unbiased single-cell RNAseq approach to study lung-infiltrating Tregs in models of eosinophilic and neutrophilic airway inflammation models, in which Tregs are critical immune regulators of inflammation. We found that lung-infiltrating Tregs are highly heterogeneous and that Tregs displaying lung residency phenotypes are significantly different depending on the types of inflammation. Tregs expression of ST2, a receptor for alarmin cytokine IL-33, was predominantly induced by eosinophilic inflammation and by tissue residency. However, Treg-specific ST2 deficiency did not affect the development of eosinophilic allergic inflammation nor the generation of lung resident Tregs. These results uncover a striking heterogeneity among Tregs infiltrating the lungs during allergic airway inflammation. The results also indicate that varying types of inflammation may give rise to phenotypically distinct lung resident Tregs. Thus, the present study underscores a novel mechanism by which inflammatory environments may shape the composition of infiltrating Tregs, allowing them to regulate inflammatory responses through tissue-adapted mechanisms.
