Project description:Airway hyperresponsiveness is found to be a heritable trait and the parents of respiratory patients often have this trait. To understand if airway constriction affects the lung and contributes to lung disease, we investigated the lungs that often occur airway constriction and compared those lungs with healthy lung and the lung with inflammation.

Project description:The respiratory epithelium is a polarised layer at the interface between the outside environment and deeper lung structures, overlaid by the epithelial lining fluid (ELF). This provides a mechanical and immunological barrier to inhaled particulates, such as viruses. Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is a major cause of disease in humans, and targets the respiratory epithelium. However, little is known of the disruption of the ELF proteome in the context of virus-driven respiratory illnesses. To address this, a proteomics approach was combined with an ex-vivo human airway epithelial model (HAE) to investigate the apical and basolateral secretome in hRSV-infected cultures. This demonstrated that several apically- and basolaterally-restricted proteins were subsequently secreted in both directions upon infection, while a number of proteins saw their apical/basolateral abundance ratios significantly altered. Furthermore, another 35 proteins were uniquely identified after hRSV treatment. Importantly, some of these changes were correlated in nasal aspirates (NA) from children with and without hRSV. This study showed that hRSV could affect airway secretions, and disrupted the directionality of the respiratory epithelium.

Project description:The human lung differs substantially from its murine counterpart, resulting in a distinct distal airway architecture affected by disease pathology in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In humans, the distal branches of the airway interweave with the alveolar gas exchange niche, forming an anatomical structure known as the respiratory airways. Due to the lack of a murine counterpart, the cellular and molecular characterization of the respiratory airways in the human lung remains an enigma. We show that human respiratory airways contain a unique secretory cell population that is distinct from cells in larger proximal airways. Stem cell modeling reveal that these respiratory airway secretory cells (RASCs) act as unidirectional progenitors for alveolar type 2 cells, which are essential for maintaining and regenerating the alveolar niche. RASC lineage differentiation into AT2 cells is regulated, in part, by Notch signaling. In COPD, RASCs are altered transcriptionally, corresponding to abnormal AT2 cell states. These data identify a distinct progenitor in a region of the human lung not found in mouse that plays a critical role in maintaining the gas exchange compartment and is altered in chronic lung disease.

Project description:Airway integrity must be continuously maintained throughout life. Sensory neurons guard against airway obstruction and on a moment-by-moment basis, enact vital reflexes to maintain respiratory function. Decreased lung capacity is common and life-threatening across many respiratory diseases, and lung collapse can be acutely evoked by chest wall trauma, pneumothorax, or airway compression. Here, we characterize a neuronal reflex of the vagus nerve evoked by airway closure that leads to gasping. In vivo vagal ganglion imaging revealed dedicated sensory neurons that detect airway compression but not airway stretch. Vagal neurons expressing PVALB mediate airway closure responses, and innervate clusters of lung epithelial cells called neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs). Stimulating NEBs or vagal PVALB neurons evoked gasping in the absence of airway threats, while ablating NEBs or vagal PVALB neurons eliminated gasping to airway closure. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that NEBs uniformly express the mechanoreceptor PIEZO2, and targeted knockout of PIEZO2 in NEBs also eliminated responses to airway closure. NEBs are dispensable for the Hering-Breuer inspiratory reflex, indicating that discrete terminal structures detect airway closure and inflation. Like Merkel cells involved in touch sensation, NEBs are PIEZO2-expressing epithelial cells, and moreover, are critical for an aspect of lung mechanosensation. These findings expand our understanding of neuronal diversity in the airways, and reveal a dedicated vagal pathway that detects airway closure to help preserve respiratory function.

Project description:The airways and the alveoli of the human respiratory tract are lined by two distinct types of epithelium. We previously established long-term expanding human lung epithelial organoids from lung tissues and developed a ‘proximal’ differentiation protocol to generate mucociliary airway organoids, yet the derivation of alveolar organoids from adult lung has remained a challenge. Here we defined a ‘distal’ differentiation approach to generate alveolar organoids from the same source that allows the establishment of airway organoids. Alveolar organoids are enriched for AT1 and AT2 cells and functionally simulate the alveolar epithelium. AT2 cells in lung organoids act as the progenitor cells from which alveolar organoids emerge. Moreover, we demonstrate productive SARS-CoV-2 infection of alveolar organoids. We further optimize 2-dimensional (2D) airway organoids. When differentiated under a slightly acidic pH, these 2D airway organoids sustain enhanced viral replication and better recapitulate the high infectivity of SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, the optimized 2D airway organoids can model IgG transcytosis across the airway epithelium. Collectively, we establish a bipotential organoid culture system that can reproducibly expand the entire human respiratory epithelium in vitro for modeling respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.

Project description:Previous work has shown that lung tumors and normal-appearing adjacent lung tissues share specific abnormalities that may be highly pertinent to the pathogenesis of lung cancer. However, the global and molecular adjacent airway field cancerization in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been characterized before. We sought to understand the transcriptomic architecture of the adjacent airway field canerization, in conjunction with tumors, to gain additional insights into the lung cancer biology and oncogenesis. We analyzed the transcriptome, using the Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST platform, of matched NSCLC tumors, multiple normal airway epithelia with differential distance from the tumors as well as uninvolved normal lung tissues. We analyzed the airway field cancerization transcritpome to determine global differentially expressed cancerization profiles in adjacent airways as well as airway profiles that may be modulated by distance from tumors.
