Project description:The respiratory epithelium comprises polarized cells at the interface between the environment and airway tissues. Polarized apical and basolateral protein secretions are a feature of airway epithelium homeostasis. Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is a major human pathogen that primarily targets the respiratory epithelium. However, the consequences of hRSV infection on epithelium secretome polarity and content remain poorly understood. To investigate the hRSV-associated apical and basolateral secretomes, a proteomics approach was combined with an ex-vivo pediatric airway epithelial model (HAE) of hRSV infection. Following infection, a skewing of apical/basolateral abundance ratios was identified for several individual proteins. Novel modulators of neutrophil and lymphocyte activation (CXCL6, CSF3, SECTM1 or CXCL16), and antiviral proteins (BST2 or CEACAM1) were specifically detected upon infection. Importantly, CXCL6, CXCL16, CSF3 were also detected in nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) from hRSV-infected infants but not healthy controls. Furthermore, the antiviral activity of CEACAM1 against RSV was confirmed in vitro using BEAS-2B cells. hRSV infection disrupted the polarity of the pediatric respiratory epithelial secretome and was associated with immune modulating (CXCL6, CXCL16, CSF3) and antiviral (CEACAM1) proteins never linked with this virus before. This study, therefore, provides novel insights into RSV pathogenesis and endogenous antiviral responses in pediatric airway epithelium

Project description:Human airway epithelial cells cultured in vitro at air-liquid interface (ALI) form a pseudostratified epithelium that forms tight junctions and cilia, and produces mucin, and are widely used as a model of differentiation, injury, and repair. To assess how closely the transcriptome of ALI epithelium matches that of in vivo airway epithelial cells, we used microarrays to compare the transcriptome of human large airway epithelial cells cultured at ALI with the transcriptome of large airway epithelium obtained via bronchoscopy and brushing. Gene expression profiling showed global gene expression correlated well between ALI cells and brushed cells, but there were some differences. Gene expression patterns mirrored differences in proportions of cell types (ALI have higher percentages of basal cells, brushed cells have higher percentages of ciliated cells), with ALI cells expressing higher levels of basal cell-related genes and brushed cells expressing higher levels of cilia-related genes. Pathway analysis showed ALI cells had increased expression of cell cycle and proliferation genes, while brushed cells had increased expression of cytoskeletal organization and humoral immune response genes. Overall, ALI cells are a good representation of the in vivo airway epithelial transcriptome, but for some biologic questions, the differences in the in vitro vs in vivo environments need to be considered. Affymetrix arrays were used to assess the gene expression of large airway cells cultured in vitro at air-liquid interface (12 samples) and large airway epithelial cells obtained by fiberoptic bronchoscopy of 20 healthy nonsmokers. *** Air-liquid interface Samples not provided in this Series. ***

Project description:The respiratory epithelium is a polarised layer at the interface between the outside environment and deeper lung structures, overlaid by the epithelial lining fluid (ELF). This provides a mechanical and immunological barrier to inhaled particulates, such as viruses. Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is a major cause of disease in humans, and targets the respiratory epithelium. However, little is known of the disruption of the ELF proteome in the context of virus-driven respiratory illnesses. To address this, a proteomics approach was combined with an ex-vivo human airway epithelial model (HAE) to investigate the apical and basolateral secretome in hRSV-infected cultures. This demonstrated that several apically- and basolaterally-restricted proteins were subsequently secreted in both directions upon infection, while a number of proteins saw their apical/basolateral abundance ratios significantly altered. Furthermore, another 35 proteins were uniquely identified after hRSV treatment. Importantly, some of these changes were correlated in nasal aspirates (NA) from children with and without hRSV. This study showed that hRSV could affect airway secretions, and disrupted the directionality of the respiratory epithelium.

Project description:To investigate how human airway epithelial cells respond to Influenza or RSV infection, we harvested airway epithelial cells from the mainstream bronchi of human donors and cultured them as previously described (Pickles et al,1998) in a polarized system that resembles the in vivo mucociliary pseudostratified epithelium. Quadruplicate hAEC cultures were infected with 2X105 PFUs Influenza A (Udorn) or with 1x106 PFUs RSV for 2h or mock inoculated and harvested 24h after Influenza infection and 48h after RSV infection. Quadruplicate polarized airway epithelial cell cultures were mock treated or infected with 2x10^5 PFUs of Influenza A (Udorn) for 2h or infected with 1x10^6 PFUs RSV and harvested 24 h post infection for Influenza or 48h post infection for RSV. Total RNA was harvested and gene expression was studied using Genespring GX v7.3.1.

Project description:Human parechoviruses (HPeVs), a poorly studied genus within the Picornaviridae family, are classified into 19 genotypes of which HPeV1 and HPeV3 are the most often detected. HPeVs pathogenesis is poorly understood as there are no animal models and the previous studies have only been conducted in immortalized monolayer cell cultures which do not adequately represent the characteristics of human tissues. To bridge this gap, we determined the polarity of infection, replication kinetics, and cell tropism of HPeV1 and HPeV3 in the well-differentiated human airway epithelial (HAE) model. We found the HAE cultures to be permissive for HPeVs. We speculated that differences in the airway epithelium host response may contribute to the distinct clinical outcomes and performed transcriptome analyses to compare the HAE gene expression profiles induced by HPeV1 and HPeV3 infection. Transcriptional profiling suggested that HPeV3 infection induced stronger immune activation than HPeV1. The polarized entry and genotype-specific host responses may contribute to the differences into the pathogenesis and clinical outcomes associated with HPeV1 and HPeV3.
