Igf1r deficiency attenuates acute inflammatory response and oxidative stress following bleomycin-induced lung injury

ABSTRACT: IGF1R (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor) is a ubiquitously expressed transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor with multiple functions including inflammation. IGF activity maintains human lung homeostasis, being involved in relevant pulmonary diseases with an inflammatory component, such as lung cancer, COPD, asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. Here we examined the role of IGF1R in lung inflammation using mice with a postnatal deficiency of Igf1r and a model of bleomycin(BLM)-induced lung injury. Lung transcriptome analysis of Igf1r-deficient mice showed a general inhibition of transcription of genes related to epigenetics, inflammation/immune response and oxidative stress activity with potential pulmonary protective roles. Early upon intratracheal BLM treatment, mutant mice showed improved survival and milder pulmonary injury and inflammation. Their lungs presented down-regulation of macrophage (Marco/Adgre1), neutrophil-related (Cxcl1/Ly6g), pro-inflammatory (Tnf/Il1b/Il6), endothelial adhesion (Icam1/Pecam1) and alveolar damage (Aqp5/Sftpc) markers and up-regulation of resolution phase markers (Csf1/Il13/Cd209a). Changes in mRNA of IGF system genes were also found, in parallel to a hindered response to hypoxia (Hif1a) and increased expression of the anti-oxidative stress marker Gpx8. These findings identify Igf1r as an important player in oxidative stress and inflammation and suggest that targeting Igf1r may block the inflammatory response in lung diseases with this component.

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is diagnosed by airway obstruction and underlies a group of ailments such as bronchitis, emphysema and often asthma; however, rodent models do not resemble human pathology. Because genetically predisposed spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats display phenotypes such as systemic inflammation, thrombosis, oxidative stress, and suppressed immune function, that are also apparent in COPD patients, we exposed SH and commonly used male Sprague Dawley (SD) to 0, 250, or 350 ppm sulfur dioxide (SO2), 5h/d for 4 consecutive days. Airways disease was characterized by pulmonary functional, pathological and molecular analysis. SO2 caused dose-dependent changes in breathing parameters in both strains with SH rats being slightly more affected than SD. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) total cells and neutrophilic inflammation were dose-dependent and significantly greater in SH than in SD rats. The recovery was incomplete 4-day following SO2 exposure in SH rats. Pulmonary protein leakage did not occur in either strain but lactate dehydrogenase and n-acetyl glucosaminidase activity was increased in BALF of SH rats. Lung pathology and morphometric evaluation of mucin production in the airways demonstrated significantly greater impact of SO2 in SH than in SD rats. Baseline differences in lung gene expression pattern suggested marked immune dysregulation, oxidative stress, and impairment cell signaling and fatty acid metabolism in SH rats. Gene expression pattern of SD and SH rats following SO2 exposure demonstrated greater effect on inflammation/immune markers, and oxidative stress. Thus, the SH rat may serve as a better and more susceptible rat strain to be used for experimental model of bronchitis which is relevant to human disease. Experiment Overall Design: Spontaneously hypertensive and Sprague Dawley rats were used in this experiment. Each strain of rat was treated with either SO2 or AIR (control). There were 4 biological replicates for each strain/treatment.
