Myeloid-specific SIRT1 deletion exacerbates airway inflammatory response in a mouse model of allergic asthma.

ABSTRACT: Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a class III histone deacetylase that exerts an anti-inflammatory effect in airway diseases. Activated macrophages play an important role in asthma. However, the roles of SIRT1 on allergic airway inflammation in macrophages remain largely unexplored. In this study, we aimed to determine the roles of SIRT1 on allergic airway inflammation in macrophages. The effect of myeloid-specific SIRT1 deletion (Sirt1^fl/fl-LysMcre) on airway inflammation was assessed by using in vivo models of asthma following allergen exposure and in vitro culture of primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) exposed to house dust mite (HDM). We observed that Sirt1^fl/fl-LysMcre mice substantially enhanced airway inflammation and mucus production in response to allergen exposure. Expression of chemokine ligand (CXCL) 2, interleukin (IL)-1β, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were reduced in BMDMs with myeloid-specific deletion of Sirt1 after stimulation of HDM. Moreover, SIRT1 suppressed the inflammatory cytokines expression in BMDMs partially via the ERK/p38 MAPK pathways. Our study demonstrated that SIRT1 suppresses the allergic airway inflammation in macrophages, and suggested that activation of SIRT1 in macrophages may represent therapeutic strategy for asthma.

Project description:BackgroundIn asthma, sex-steroids signaling is recognized as a critical regulator of disease pathophysiology. However, the paradoxical role of sex-steroids, especially estrogen, suggests that an upstream mechanism or even independent of estrogen plays an important role in regulating asthma pathophysiology. In this context, in our previous studies, we explored kisspeptin (Kp) and its receptor Kiss1R's signaling in regulating human airway smooth muscle cell remodeling in vitro and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in vivo in a mouse (wild-type, WT) model of asthma. In this study, we evaluated the effect of endogenous Kp in regulating AHR and remodeling using Kiss1R knockout (Kiss1R-/-) mice.MethodsC57BL/6J WT (Kiss1R+/+) and Kiss1R-/- mice, both male and female, were intranasally challenged with mixed-allergen (MA) and/or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). We used flexiVent analysis to assess airway resistance (Rrs), elastance (Ers), and compliance (Crs). Following this, broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) was performed for differential leukocyte count (DLC) and cytokine analysis. Histology staining was performed using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for morphological analysis and Masson's Trichrome (MT) for collagen deposition. Additionally, lung sections were processed for immunofluorescence (IF) of Ki-67, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and tenascin-c.ResultsInterestingly, the loss of Kiss1R exacerbated lung function and airway contractility in mice challenged with MA, with more profound effects in Kiss1R-/- female mice. MA-challenged Kiss1R-/- mice showed a significant increase in immune cell infiltration and proinflammatory cytokine levels. Importantly, the loss of Kiss1R aggravated Th2/Th17 biased cytokines in MA-challenged mice. Furthermore, histology of lung sections from Kiss1R-/- mice showed increased collagen deposition on airway walls and mucin production in airway cells compared to Kiss1R+/+ mice. In addition, immunofluorescence analysis showed loss of Kiss1R significantly aggravated airway remodeling and subsequently AHR.ConclusionsThese findings demonstrate the importance of inherent Kiss1R signaling in regulating airway inflammation, AHR, and remodeling in the pathophysiology of asthma.
