Project description:The mechanisms and molecular pathways underlying interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are poorly understood. Systems biology approaches were used to identify perturbed networks in these disease states to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of disease. Through profiling genes and miRNAs, we found subsets of genes and miRNAs that distinguish different disease stages, ILDs from controls, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) from non-specific interstitial pneumonitis (NSIP). Traditional pathway analysis revealed several disease-associated modules involving genes from the TGF-beta, Wnt, focal adhesion and smooth muscle actin pathways that may be involved in advancing fibrosis. A comprehensively integrative approach was used to construct a global gene regulatory network based on the perturbation of key regulatory elements, transcriptional factors and miRNAs. The data also demonstrated that several subnetworks were significantly associated with key molecules involved in the diseases. We present a broad overview of the disease at a molecular level and discuss several possibly key regulatory molecular circuits that could play central roles in facilitating the progression of ILDs. Lung tissue samples from 23 patients with IPF or related disorders were obtained from the Lung Tissue Research Consortium (www.ltrcpublic.org). 11 samples came from patients who had been diagnosed with usual interstitial pneumonia/ idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (UIP/IPF), 5 samples came from patients with non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), the remaining from patients with uncharacterized fibrosis and from patients with other ILD variants. B. Biopsies from uninvolved lung tissue from lung cancer patients (5 samples) and from one lung transplant patient were used as controls for comparison with the ILD samples.

Project description:Fibrosing interstitial lung disease (fILD) is a fatal fibrotic lung disease with limited therapeutic options and no effective therapeutic strategies to reverse pulmonary fibrosis. Here, we found that PTX3 is upregulated in the lungs of bleomycin-treated mice and fILD patients. Lung injury and fibrosis were significantly attenuated in inducible conditional Ptx3-deficient mice in response to bleomycin treatment. Moreover, we dissected mechanistic insights into PTX3/CD44-dependent fibrotic pathways and effectors in lung myofibroblast activation and collagen production. Importantly, αPTX3i disrupts the interaction of PTX3 and CD44 and effectively attenuated bleomycin-treated lung injury and fibrosis in vivo and myofibroblast activation in vitro. Our study provides new insight into the regulation of PTX3 in pulmonary fibrosis and a potential target for developing future novel therapy for fILDs.

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a complex disease involving various cell types. Macrophages are essential in maintenance of physiological homeostasis, wound repair and fibrosis in the lung. Macrophages play a crucial role in repair and remodeling by altering their phenotype and secretory pattern in response to injury. The secretome of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-cm) attenuates injury and fibrosis in bleomycin injured rat lungs. In the current study, we evaluate the effect of iPSC-cm on interstitial macrophage gene expression and phenotype in bleomycin injured rat lungs in vivo. Â iPSC-cm was intratracheally instilled 7 days after bleomycin induced lung injury and assessed 7 days later and single cell isolation was performed. Macrophages were FACS sorted and microarray analysis was performed. We characterized changes in the rat lung interstitial macrophages using transcriptional profiling.

Project description:We have previously established a novel mouse model of lung fibrosis based on Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated pulmonary overexpression of TGFβ1. Here, we provide an in-depth characterization of phenotypic and transcriptomic changes (mRNA and miRNA) in a head-to-head comparison with Bleomycin-induced lung injury over a 4-week disease course. The analyses delineate the temporal state of model-specific and commonly altered pathways, thereby providing detailed insights into the processes underlying disease development. They further guide appropriate model selection as well as interventional study design. Overall, Bleomycin-induced fibrosis resembles a biphasic process of acute inflammation and subsequent transition into fibrosis (with partial resolution), whereas the TGFβ1-driven model is characterized by pronounced and persistent fibrosis with concomitant inflammation and an equally complex disease phenotype as observed upon Bleomycin instillation. Finally, based on an integrative approach combining lung function data, mRNA/miRNA profiles, their correlation and miRNA target predictions, we identify putative drug targets and miRNAs to be explored as therapeutic candidates for fibrotic diseases. Taken together, we provide a comprehensive analysis and rich data resource based on RNA-sequencing, along with a strategy for transcriptome-phenotype coupling. The results will be of value for TGFβ research, drug discovery and biomarker identification in progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases.

Project description:Interstitial lung diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are caused by persistent micro-injuries to alveolar epithelial tissues accompanied by aberrant repair processes. Despite substantial advancement in our understanding of IPF progression, numerous questions remain concerning disease pathology. IPF is currently treated with pirfenidone and nintedanib, compounds which slow the rate of disease progression but fail to target underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The DNA repair enzyme 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) is upregulated following TGF-β1 exposure in several fibrosis-associated cell types. Currently, no pharmaceutical solutions targeting OGG1 have been utilized in the treatment of IPF. In this study, administration of Ogg1-targetting siRNA, mitigated bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice, thereby highlighting OGG1 as a tractable target in lung fibrosis. The novel small molecule OGG1 inhibitor, TH5487, decreased myofibroblast transition and associated pro-fibrotic markers in fibroblast cells. In addition, TH5487 decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine production, inflammatory cell infiltration, and lung remodeling in a murine model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. OGG1 and SMAD7 interact to induce fibroblast proliferation and differentiation, with both increased in fibrotic murine and IPF patient lung tissue. Taken together, these data strongly suggest that TH5487 is a potent, specific, and clinically-relevant treatment for IPF. This DIA-MS dataset entails the raw data and peptide-centric DIA-NN search results of both, lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of n=5 mice profiled across the treatment groups bleomycin combined with TH (BTH), dexamethasone (DEX), TH alone (TH) and vehicle control (V) relative to bleomycin alone (B) as control. Different animals within protein groups were considered biological replicates of the respective treatment condition.

Project description:The response to a 4 hour treatment with TGFbeta (4 ng/ml) was evaluated in lung fibroblasts derived from three controls (normal periphery of resected tumor), open lung biopsies from three patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (usual interstitial pneumonia pattern on biopsy) and from three patients with fibrosing alveolitis associated with systemic sclerosis (fibrotic non specific interstitial pneumonia pattern on biopsy). Lung fibroblasts were grown to confluence in DMEM with 10% fetal calf serum. At confluence, lung fibroblasts were serum-deprived overnight, and exposed to either 4 ng/ml of activated TGF-Ã1 (R&D Systems) or serum-free culture medium with 0.1% BSA for four hours.

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease that is unresponsive to current therapy. While it carries a median survival of less than 3 years its rate of progression varies widely between patients. We hypothesized that studying the gene expression profiles of physiologically stable patients and those in which the disease progressed rapidly after the initial diagnosis would aid in the search for biomarkers and contribute to the understanding of disease pathogenesis. We generated 12 Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) lung parenchyma SAGE profiles. Initial cluster analysis including 8 other public available lung SAGE libraries verified that the IPF transcriptome is distinct from normal lung tissue and other lung diseases like COPD. In order to identify candidate markers of disease progression we segregated the IPF SAGE profiles in two groups based on clinical parameters regarding lung volume and lung function.
