Non targeted metabolomic analysis of mouse and human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, Aqueous(+) experiment (part I)

ABSTRACT: Mouse BALF was collected from C57BL/6 mice (n = 10). Five mice were exposed to ambient air for one day (air control) and five mice were exposed to CS for nine months (smoking). Human BALF was collected from subjects from the COPDGene cohort (n = 5). COPD diagnosis was based on the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC). Subjects were 45-70 years old, BMI 27-45, weight 76-125kg, and were categorized as follows: 1 male former smoker without COPD (FEV1/FVC = 0.82), 2 male current smokers without COPD (FEV1/FVC = 0.91 and 0.79), 1 female current smoker with moderate COPD (FEV1/FVC = 0.51), and 1 male current smoker with moderate COPD (FEV1/FVC = 0.64).

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.

Project description:Background: The mechanisms underlying ozone (O3)-induced pulmonary inflammation remain unclear. Interleukin (IL)-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that is known to inhibit inflammatory mediators. Objectives: The current study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying IL-10-mediated attenuation of O3-induced pulmonary inflammation in mice. Methods: Il10-deficient (Il10-/-) and wild type (Il10+/+) mice were exposed to 0.3-ppm O3 or filtered air for 24, 48 or 72 hr. Immediately following exposure, differential cell counts, and total protein (a marker of lung permeability) were assessed from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). mRNA and protein levels of cellular mediators were determined from lung homogenates. We also utilized global mRNA expression analyses of lung tissue with Ingenuity Pathway Analyses (IPA) to identify patterns of gene expression through which IL-10 modifies O3-induced inflammation. Results: Mean numbers of BALF polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were significantly greater in Il10-/- mice than in Il10+/+ mice after exposure to O3 at all time points tested. O3-enhanced nuclear NF-kB translocation was elevated in the lungs of Il10-/- compared to Il10+/+ mice. Gene expression analyses revealed several key IL-10 and O3-dependent mediators, including IL-6, MIP-2, IL-1 and CD86. Conclusions: Results indicated that IL-10 protects against O3-induced pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation and cell proliferation. Moreover, gene expression analyses identified three response pathways and several novel genetic targets (e.g. Ccr1, Socs3, Il33, Hat1, and Gale) through which IL10 may modulate the innate and adaptive immune response. These novel mechanisms of protection against the pathogenesis of O3-induced pulmonary inflammation may also provide potential therapeutic targets to protect susceptible individuals. PARALLEL study design with 26 samples. Biological replicates: 2 to 3 replicates per group with wild type air exposed animals as controls for each time point (24, 48, 72 hours).
