Project description:Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that can lead to terminal respiratory failure. Ultrafine carbonaceous particles, which are ubiquitous in ambient urban and indoor air, are increasingly considered as major contributors to the global health burden of air pollution. However, their effects on the expression of CFTR and associated genes in lung epithelial cells have not yet been investigated. We therefore evaluated the effects of carbon nanoparticles (CNP), generated by spark-ablation, on the human bronchial epithelial cell line 16HBE14o- at air-liquid interface (ALI) culture conditions. The ALI-cultured cells exhibited epithelial barrier integrity and increased CFTR expression. Following a 4-h exposure to CNP, the cells exhibited a decreased barrier integrity, as well as decreased expression of CFTR transcript and protein levels. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis revealed that the CNP-exposed cells showed signs of oxidative stress, apoptosis and DNA damage. In conclusion, this study describes spark-ablated carbon nanoparticles in a realistic exposure of aerosols to decrease CFTR expression accompanied by transcriptomic signs of oxidative stress, apoptosis and DNA damage.

Project description:Background. Accumulating evidence indicates that CFTR modulators can be effective for CF sufferers. However, in vivo the microRNAs that regulate CFTR are increased in the CF lung milieu and this can nullify the beneficial effects of CFTR modulators. Methods. A panel of target site blockers (TSBs) designed against the CFTR 3’untranslated region (UTR) were tested for their ability to increase CFTR expression by CFTR 3’UTR luciferase assay and western blot. The effect of two lead TSBs on CFTR activity were tested alone or in combination with selected CFTR modulators in four separate p.Phe508del/p.Phe508del in vitro and ex vivo models (CFBE41o-, Cufi-1, primary bronchial epithelial cells, iPSC-derived lung organoids). Respirable poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles encapsulating the TSBs were formulated and tested. Findings. TSBs that target the miR-145-5p or miR-223-3p binding sites at positons 298-305 and 166-173 in the CFTR 3’UTR, respectively, increased CFTR expression and CFTR anion channel activity, and enhance the effects of Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor or Lumacftor/Tezacaftor in CF BECs. PLGAs encapsulating the TSBs promote CFTR expression in primary BECs and retain their biophysical characteristics following nebulization. Interpretation. Alone or in combination with CFTR modulators, CFTR-targeting TSBs encapsulated in PLGA nanoparticles and nebulized to the lung could overcome microRNA-mediated inhibition of CFTR in CF bronchial epithelium. This strategy represents a promising drug-device combination therapy for the treatment for CFTR dysfunction in the lung.

Project description:Production of functional proteins requires multiple steps including gene transcription and post-translational processing. MicroRNAs (miRNA) can regulate individual stages of these processes. Despite the importance of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel for epithelial anion transport, how its expression is regulated remains uncertain. We discovered that microRNA-138 regulates CFTR expression through its interactions with the transcriptional regulatory protein SIN3A. Treating airway epithelia with a miR-138 mimic increased CFTR mRNA and also enhanced CFTR abundance and transepithelial Cl- permeability independently of elevated mRNA levels. A miR-138 anti-miR had the opposite effects. Importantly, miR-138 altered the expression of many genes encoding proteins that associate with CFTR and may influence its biosynthesis. The most common CFTR mutation, M-NM-^TF508, causes protein misfolding, degradation, and cystic fibrosis. Remarkably, manipulating the miR-138 regulatory network also improved biosynthesis of CFTR-M-NM-^TF508 and restored Cl- transport to cystic fibrosis airway epithelia. This novel miRNA-regulated network directs gene expression from the chromosome to the cell membrane, indicating that an individual miRNA can control a cellular process broader than previously recognized. This discovery also provides new therapeutic avenues for restoring CFTR function to cells affected by the most common cystic fibrosis mutation. 12 samples of Calu-3 cells representing different interventions.

Project description:We investigated pulmonary mRNA profiles of female mice exposed to 0.018, 0.054 and 0.162 mg Printex 90 carbon black nanoparticles by single intra-tracheal instillation. We examined responses to these doses 1, 3 and 28 days after exposure, alongside respective controls. This study demonstrates widespread changes in inflammatory and acute phase response genes that persisted to 28 days at the highest exposure dose. Changes relevant to sterol and terpenoid biosynthetic pathways were also observed.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to explore baseline expression of miRNome in Cystic Fibrosis Bronchial Epithelial (CFBE41o-) cells stably transfected with wild type (WT) Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance regulator (CFTR) and F508del-CFTR. To fulfill this goal miRNA sequencing was done to see miRNA landscape in CFBE41o- Cells with homozygous F508del mutated CFTR and in CFBE41o- Cells with homozygous WT-CFTR, without any treatment condition.

Project description:Expansion of nanotechnology will bring many potential benefits as adversely effects on human health. Protection of the human respiratory system from exposure of volatile nanoparticles has become an emerging health concern. The understanding of the biological processes involved in the development and maintenance of a variety of pathologies is improved by genome-wide approaches. Technical feasibility of this type of experiment has perfected in recent years, but data analysis remains challenging. In this context, gene set analysis has emerged as a fundamental tool for the interpretation of the results. We demonstrate how the use of a combination of gene-by-gene and gene set analyses can enhance the interpretation of results. Gene set analyses are able to distinguish responses due to nanoparticle size also discriminating between long and short time recovery after exposure. Transcription regulation and cell proliferation modulation appear to be an early response while oxidative stress and mitochondrial perturbation are late response. Moreover, smaller the particle higher the effect on inflammatory response and DNA damage activation. By integrating the two approaches, we evidenced the importance of MMP1, MMP9, MMP7 and MMP14 genes in response to Ludox® silica nanoparticles and the involvement apoptosis process in cell viability. This study is based on the treatment of A549 cells with two different silica nanoparticles (SM30, 9 nm of diameter, and AS30, 18 nm of diameter). Treatment with nanoparticles were performed independently. We performed three biological replicates for each condition.

Project description:Cystic fibrosis (CF), caused by mutations to CFTR, leads to severe and progressive lung disease. The most common mutant, ΔF508-CFTR, undergoes proteasomal degradation, depleting its anion channel function. “Proteostasis” pathways, i.e. those relevant to protein processing and trafficking, are altered in cells with ΔF508-CFTR and can be modulated to partially rescue protein function. However, many details regarding proteostasis modulation, and its relevance to CF and ΔF508-CFTR rescue, remain poorly understood. To shed light on this, we re-analyzed public datasets characterizing transcription in CF vs. non-CF epithelia from human and pig airways, and also profiled established temperature, genetic, and chemical interventions that rescue ΔF508-CFTR. Meta-analysis yielded a core disease signature and two core rescue signatures. To interpret these, we compiled proteostasis pathways and an original “CFTR Gene Set Library”. The disease signature revealed differential regulation of mTORC1 signaling, endocytosis, and proteasomal degradation. Overlaying functional genomics data identified candidate mediators of low-temperature rescue, while multiple rescue strategies converged on activation of unfolded protein response pathways. Remarkably, however, C18, an analog of the CFTR corrector compound Lumacaftor, induced minimal transcriptional perturbation despite its rescue activity. This work elucidates the involvement of proteostasis in both disease and rescue perturbations while highlighting that not all CFTR rescue interventions act on transcription.
