Project description:Preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) have lifelong increased risk of respiratory morbidities associated with environmental pathogen exposure and underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The resident immune cells of the lung play vital roles in host defense. However, the effect of perinatal events associated with BPD on pulmonary-specific immune cells is not well understood. We used a double-hit model of BPD induced by prenatal chorioamnionitis followed by postnatal hyperoxia, and performed global transcriptome analysis of all resident pulmonary immune cells. This is the first comprehensive report delineating transcriptomic changes in resident immune cells of the lung in a translationally relevant double-hit model of BPD.

Project description:BackgroundPreterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) have lifelong increased risk of respiratory morbidities associated with environmental pathogen exposure and underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The resident immune cells of the lung play vital roles in host defense. However, the effect of perinatal events associated with BPD on pulmonary-specific immune cells is not well understood.MethodsWe used a double-hit model of BPD induced by prenatal chorioamnionitis followed by postnatal hyperoxia, and performed a global transcriptome analysis of all resident pulmonary immune cells.ResultsWe show significant up-regulation of genes involved in chemokine-mediated signaling and immune cell chemotaxis, and down-regulation of genes involved in multiple T lymphocyte functions. Multiple genes involved in T cell receptor signaling are downregulated and Cd8a gene expression remains downregulated at 2 months of age in spite of recovery in normoxia for 6 weeks. Furthermore, the proportion of CD8a+CD3+ pulmonary immune cells is decreased.ConclusionsOur study has highlighted that perinatal lung inflammation in a double-hit model of BPD results in short- and long-term dysregulation of genes associated with the pulmonary T cell receptor signaling pathway, which may contribute to increased environmental pathogen-associated respiratory morbidities seen in children and adults with BPD.ImpactIn a translationally relevant double-hit model of BPD induced by chorioamnionitis and postnatal hyperoxia, we identified pulmonary immune cell-specific transcriptomic changes and showed that T cell receptor signaling genes are downregulated in short term and long term. This is the first comprehensive report delineating transcriptomic changes in resident immune cells of the lung in a translationally relevant double-hit model of BPD. Our study identifies novel resident pulmonary immune cell-specific targets for potential therapeutic modulation to improve short- and long-term respiratory health of preterm infants with BPD.

Project description:Background: Nrf2 is an essential cytoprotective transcription factor. However, association of Nrf2 in organ development and neonatal disease is rarely examined. Hyperoxia exposure to newborn rodents generates pulmonary phenotypes which resemble bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) of prematurity. Methods: To investigate the role of Nrf2 in lung maturation and BPD pathogenesis, Nrf2-deficient (Nrf2-/-) and wild-type (Nrf2+/+) neonates were exposed to air or hyperoxia (O2). Transcriptome analysis determined Nrf2-directed mechanisms in premature lung. Lung injury was assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage analysis and histopathology. Results: In Nrf2-/- neonates, basal expression of cell cycle machinery, redox balance, and lipid/carbohydrate metabolism genes were suppressed while immunity genes were overexpressed compared to Nrf2+/+ pups. O2-induced mortality and pulmonary inflammation/injury were significantly higher in Nrf2-/- than in Nrf2+/+. Lung DNA lesion and oxidation were greater in Nrf2-/- than in Nrf2+/+, constitutively and after O2. Nrf2-dependent genes modulated cellular growth/proliferation, defense, immunity, and lipid metabolism against hyperoxia. Bioinformatic elucidation of Nrf2 binding motifs and augmented O2-induced inflammation in genetically deficient neonates validated Gpx2 and Marco as Nrf2 effectors. Conclusion: Overall, Nrf2 in underdeveloped lungs orchestrated cell cycle, morphogenesis, and immunity as well as cellular defense constitutively and under oxidant stress. Results provide putative molecular mechanisms of Nrf2-directed lung alveolarization and BPD of prematurity. PARALLEL study design with 42 samples comparing 14 groups of age (P1 to P4 corresponding to day 0 to day 3 animals), gene, and exposure: (4 groups Nrf+/+ wild type P1-P4 air exposure) (4 groups Nrf -/- knockout P1-P4 air exposure), (3 groups Nrf+/+ wild type P2-P4 with 100 percent O2 (hyperoxia exposure) and 3 groupsNrf -/- knockout P2-P4 with 100 percent O2 (hyperoxia exposure)) Biological replicates: 3 per group

Project description:Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the most common complication of extreme preterm birth, can be caused by oxygen-related lung injury and is characterized by impaired alveolar and vascular development. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have lung protective effects. Conversely, BPD is associated with increased MSCs in tracheal aspirates. Objective: To determine whether endogenous lung (L-)MSCs are perturbed in a well-established oxygen-induced rat model mimicking BPD features. Methods: Rat pups were exposed to room air or 95% oxygen from birth to postnatal day 10. On day 12, CD146+ L-MSCs were isolated and characterized according to the International Society for Cellular Therapy criteria. Epithelial and vascular repair potential were tested by scratch assay and endothelial network formation respectively, immune function by mixed lymphocyte reaction assay. Microarray analysis was performed using the Affymetrix GeneChip and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) software. Results: CD146+ L-MSCs isolated from rat pups exposed to hyperoxia had decreased CD73 expression and inhibited lung endothelial network formation. CD146+ L-MSCs indiscriminately promoted epithelial wound healing and limited T-cell proliferation. Expression of potent anti-angiogenic genes of the axonal guidance cue and CDC42 pathways was increased after in vivo hyperoxia, whereas genes of the anti-inflammatory JAK/STAT and lung/vascular growth promoting Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) pathways were decreased. Conclusions: In vivo hyperoxia exposure alters the pro-angiogenic effects and FGF expression of L-MSCs. Additionally, decreased CD73 and JAK/STAT expression suggest decreased immune function. L-MSC function may be perturbed and contribute to BPD pathogenesis. These findings may lead to improvements in manufacturing exogenous MSCs with superior repair capabilities.

Project description:It is unclear why preterm birth increases risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Studies in mice indicate excess oxygen typically used to treat preterm infants causes pulmonary hypertension, cardiac failure, and shortens lifespan. We previously reported neonatal hyperoxia causes pulmonary hypertension in aged mice as defined pathologically by pulmonary capillary rarefaction, dilation of pulmonary arterioles and veins, right ventricular hypertrophy, and reduced lifespan. These changes were preceded by a pronounced growth inhibition of cardiomyocytes lining the pulmonary vein and extending into the left atria, resulting in diastolic heart failure as the mice aged. To identify transcriptional changes by which hyperoxia suppresses proliferation of these cardiomyocytes, newborn mice were exposed to room air or 100% oxygen between birth and postnatal day 4. RNA was then isolated from atria of 3 room air and 4 hyperoxia-exposed mice and used to probe Affymetrix mouse array 430 versus 2.0
