Project description:Persistent severe asthma is associated with hyper-contractile airways and structural changes in the airway wall, including an increased airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass. This study used gene expression profiles from asthmatic and healthy airway smooth muscle cells grown in culture to identify novel receptors and pathways that potentially contributed to asthma pathogenesis. We used microarrays to compare the gene expression between asthmatic and healthy airway smooth muscle cells to understand the underlying pathway contributing the differences in cellular phenotypes

We used microarrays to compare the gene expression between asthmatic and healthy airway smooth muscle cells to understand the underlying pathway contributing the differences in cellular phenotypes Asthmatic airway smooth muscle cells (ASMC) are intrinsically different and have a differential transcriptional response to pro-fibrotic, pro-proliferation and pro-inflammatory stimuli than ASMC from healthy patients. We sought to identify genes that are differentially expressed between asthmatic and healthy ASMC under various stimulations which mimic the asthmatic airways. To this end, we obtained human ASMC from bronchial biopsies and explanted lungs from doctor diagnosed asthmatic patients (n=3) and healthy controls (n=3). The ASMC were then grown in culture and treated with pro-fibrotic (Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ)), pro-proliferation (Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS)) and pro-inflammatory stimuli (Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)) for 8 hours. Gene expression was then evaluated using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0ST arrays.

Project description:Asthma is a very frequent airway disease that affects 6 to 20% of the population. Severe asthma, represents 3 to 5% of all asthmatic patients and is histologically characterized by an increased bronchial smooth muscle (BSM) mass and clinically by viral exacerbations. Functionally, BSM remodeling had a poor prognostic value in asthma, since higher BSM mass was associated with lower lung function and increased exacerbation rate. However, the role of BSM as a potential actor of asthma exacerbation has only been sparsely suggested. Thus, we hypothesis that asthmatic BSM cell metabolism is modified compare to that of non-asthmatic and that could be a potential target to reduce asthmatic BSM cell proliferation and remodeling in asthma.

Project description:Background: Increased proliferation of airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells leading to hyperplasia and increased ASM mass is one of the most characteristic features of airway remodelling in asthma. A bioactive lipid, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), has been suggested to affect airway remodelling by stimulation of human ASM cell proliferation. Objective: To investigate the effect of S1P on signalling and regulation of gene expression in ASM cells from healthy and asthmatic individuals. Methods: ASM cells grown from bronchial biopsies of healthy and asthmatic individuals were exposed to S1P. Gene expression was analysed using microarray, real-time PCR and western blotting. Receptor signalling and function was determined by mRNA knockdown and intracellular calcium mobilisation experiments. Results: S1P potently regulated the expression of more than 80 genes in human ASM cells, including several genes known to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and airway remodelling (HBEGF, TGFB3, TXNIP, PLAUR, SERPINE1, RGS4). S1P acting through S1P2 and S1P3 receptors activated intracellular calcium mobilisation and extracellular signal-regulated and Rho-associated kinases to regulate gene expression. S1P-induced responses were not inhibited by corticosteroids and did not differ significantly between ASM cells from healthy and asthmatic individuals. Conclusion: S1P induces a steroid-resistant, pro-remodelling pathway in ASM cells. Targeting S1P or its receptors could be a novel treatment strategy for inhibiting airway remodelling in asthma. Airway smooth muscle cells from 3 healthy donors were cultured and stimulated for 4 h with sphingosine-1-phosphate (100 nM) or medium control. Total RNA was extracted and analysed using Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST arrays.

Project description:Smooth muscle differentiation has been proposed to sculpt airway epithelial branches in mammalian lungs. Serum response factor (SRF) acts with its cofactor myocardin to promote the expression of contractile smooth muscle markers. However, smooth muscle cells exhibit a variety of phenotypes beyond contractile that are independent of SRF-myocardin-induced transcription. To determine whether airway smooth muscle exhibits phenotypic plasticity during embryonic development, we deleted Srf from the pulmonary mesenchyme. Srf-mutant lungs branch normally, and the mesenchyme exhibits normal cytoskeletal features and patterning. scRNA-seq revealed an Srf-null smooth muscle cluster wrapping the airways of mutant lungs that lacks contractile smooth muscle markers but retains many features of control smooth muscle. Srf-null airway smooth muscle exhibits a synthetic phenotype, compared to the contractile phenotype of wildtype airway smooth muscle. Our findings reveal plasticity in mesenchymal differentiation during lung development and demonstrate that a synthetic smooth muscle layer is sufficient for airway branching morphogenesis.
