TNF-stimulated gene 6 promotes formation of hyaluronan-inter-?-inhibitor heavy chain complexes necessary for ozone-induced airway hyperresponsiveness.

ABSTRACT: Exposure to pollutants, such as ozone, exacerbates airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness (AHR). TNF-stimulated gene 6 (TSG-6) is required to transfer inter-?-inhibitor heavy chains (HC) to hyaluronan (HA), facilitating HA receptor binding. TSG-6 is necessary for AHR in allergic asthma, because it facilitates the development of a pathological HA-HC matrix. However, the role of TSG-6 in acute airway inflammation is not well understood. Here, we hypothesized that TSG-6 is essential for the development of HA- and ozone-induced AHR. TSG-6^-/- and TSG-6^+/+ mice were exposed to ozone or short-fragment HA (sHA), and AHR was assayed via flexiVent. The AHR response to sHA was evaluated in the isolated tracheal ring assay in tracheal rings from TSG-6^-/- or TSG-6^+/+, with or without the addition of exogenous TSG-6, and with or without inhibitors of Rho-associated, coiled-coil-containing protein kinase (ROCK), ERK, or PI3K. Smooth-muscle cells from mouse tracheas were assayed in vitro for signaling pathways. We found that TSG-6 deficiency protects against AHR after ozone (in vivo) or sHA (in vitro and in vivo) exposure. Moreover, TSG-6^-/- tracheal ring non-responsiveness to sHA was reversed by exogenous TSG-6 addition. sHA rapidly activated RhoA, ERK, and Akt in airway smooth-muscle cells, but only in the presence of TSG-6. Inhibition of ROCK, ERK, or PI3K/Akt blocked sHA/TSG-6-mediated AHR. In conclusion, TSG-6 is necessary for AHR in response to ozone or sHA, in part because it facilitates rapid formation of HA-HC complexes. The sHA/TSG-6 effect is mediated by RhoA, ERK, and PI3K/Akt signaling.

Project description:BackgroundTransient receptor potential (TRP) ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) and vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) mediate the development of lung injury and inflammation. This study investigated the role and mechanism of the TRPA1/TRPV1 pathway in airway inflammation and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) induced by acute ozone exposure.MethodsC57BL/6 mice (8-10 weeks) were intraperitoneally injected with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), A967079 (TRPA1 inhibitor) or AMG9810 (TRPV1 inhibitor) 1 h before or after ozone exposure (2.5 ppm, 3 h). BHR, cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, oxidative stress biomarkers, inflammatory cytokines, TRPA1 and TPRV1 protein levels, mitochondrial dynamics- and mitophagy-related protein levels, and activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) in lung were measured.ResultsThe preventive treatment effect was similar to the therapeutic treatment effect. Both A967079 and AMG9810 intervention suppressed BHR, inflammatory cytokines, total BAL fluid cells, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and inflammatory cytokines mRNA including Substance P (SP), Keratinocyte-Derived Chemokine (KC), interleukin-18 (IL-18) and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8 (CXCL8) expression, and enhanced reduced glutathione (GSH)/oxidized glutathione (GSSG) levels compared with ozone-exposed mice. A967079 and AMG9810 intervention inhibited dynamin-related protein (DRP1), mitochondrial fission factor (MFF), Parkinson protein 2 E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (PARK2) and Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1)/p62 expression, increased Optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), mitofusin 2 (MFN2) and PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) expression, and up-regulated the activities of MRC complex III and V in lung tissue.ConclusionsThe results show that both TRPA1 and TRPV1 pathways are involved in acute ozone exposure-induced airway inflammation and BHR and influence oxidative stress, mitochondrial quality control and MRC activity, which could be a potential target for clinical therapy of respiratory diseases.

Project description:BackgroundSeveral inflammatory lung diseases display abundant presence of hyaluronic acid (HA) bound to heavy chains (HC) of serum protein inter-alpha-inhibitor (IαI) in the extracellular matrix. The HC-HA modification is critical to neutrophil sequestration in liver sinusoids and to survival during experimental lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis. Therefore, the covalent HC-HA binding, which is exclusively mediated by tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-stimulated-gene-6 (TSG-6), may play an important role in the onset or the resolution of lung inflammation in acute lung injury (ALI) induced by respiratory infection.MethodsReversible ALI was induced by a single intratracheal instillation of LPS or Pseudomonas aeruginosa in mice and outcomes were studied for up to six days. We measured in the lung or the bronchoalveolar fluid HC-HA formation, HA immunostaining localization and roughness, HA fragment abundance, and markers of lung inflammation and lung injury. We also assessed TSG-6 secretion by TNFα- or LPS-stimulated human alveolar macrophages, lung fibroblast Wi38, and bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells.ResultsExtensive HC-modification of lung HA, localized predominantly in the peri-broncho-vascular extracellular matrix, was notable early during the onset of inflammation and was markedly decreased during its resolution. Whereas human alveolar macrophages secreted functional TSG-6 following both TNFα and LPS stimulation, fibroblasts and bronchial epithelial cells responded to only TNFα. Compared to wild type, TSG-6-KO mice, which lacked HC-modified HA, exhibited modest increases in inflammatory cells in the lung, but no significant differences in markers of lung inflammation or injury, including histopathological lung injury scores.ConclusionsRespiratory infection induces rapid HC modification of HA followed by fragmentation and clearance, with kinetics that parallel the onset and resolution phase of ALI, respectively. Alveolar macrophages may be an important source of pulmonary TSG-6 required for HA remodeling. The formation of HC-modified HA had a minor role in the onset, severity, or resolution of experimental reversible ALI induced by respiratory infection with gram-negative bacteria.
