Neuropilin-1 mediates lung tissue-specific control of ILC2s function in type 2 immunity

ABSTRACT: ILC2s are highly heterogeneous tissue-resident lymphocytes that regulate inflammation and tissue homeostasis in health and disease. But how they integrate to the respective tissue microenvironment to perform tissue-supportive functions remain poorly defined. Here, we identify neuropilin-1, which is induced postnatally and sustained by lung-derived TGFβ1, as a tissue signature of lung ILC2s. Genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition of Nrp1 suppresses ILC2s function and protects mice from the development of pulmonary fibrosis. Mechanistically, TGFβ1-Nrp1 signaling enhances ILC2s function and type 2 immunity through upregulation of IL-33 receptor ST2 expression. Our findings identify Nrp1 as a tissue-specific regulator of lung-resident ILC2s activation and highlight Nrp1 as a potential therapeutic target for pulmonary fibrosis

Nrp1 downregulation correlates with enhanced ILC2 responses during IL-33 challenge

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play critical roles in driving the pathogenesis of allergic airway inflammation. The mechanisms underlying the regulation of ILC2s remain to be fully understood. Here, we identified neuropilin-1 (Nrp1) as a surface marker of ILC2s in response to IL-33 stimulation. Nrp1 was abundantly expressed in ILC2s from lung under steady state, which was significantly reduced upon IL-33 stimulation. ILC2s with high expression of Nrp1 (Nrp1high) displayed lower response to IL-33, as compared with Nrp1low ILC2s. Transcriptional profiling and flow cytometric analysis showed that downregulation of AKT-mTOR signaling participated in the diminished functionality of Nrp1high ILC2s. These observations revealed a potential role of Nrp1 in ILC2s responses under allergic inflammatory condition.

Development and Preclinical Efficacy of Novel Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGFβ1) siRNAs for Pulmonary Fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic devastating disease of unknown etiology. No therapy is currently available. A growing body of evidence supports the role of TGFβ1 as the major player in the pathogenesis of the disease. This study designed novel human- and mouse-specific siRNAs and siRNA/DNA chimeras targeting both human and mouse common sequences and evaluated their inhibitory activity in pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin and lung-specific transgenic expression of human TGFβ1. Selective novel sequences of siRNA and siRNA/DNA chimeras efficiently inhibited pulmonary fibrosis, indicating their applicability as tools for treating fibrotic disease in humans. Total RNA was extracted from lung tissue from mice with bleomycin (BLM)-induced lung fibrosis treated with mouse TGFβ1 siRNAs or vehicle on different days after BLM infusion.

Neuropilin 1 interactome in endothelial cells

Project description:To get unbiased insights on the molecular networks through by which Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) controls endothelial cell (EC) and blood vessel functions independently from its ligands, wehave implemented a Halo Tag (HT)-based approach, which enables effective surface labeling and pull-down of proteins, and combined it with quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) analysis.

Neuropilin-1 high monocytes protect against neonatal inflammation

Project description:Neonates are susceptible to inflammatory disorders such as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) due to their immature immune system. The timely appearance of regulatory immune cells in early life contributes to the control of inflammation in neonates, the underlying mechanisms of which remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified a subset of neonatal monocytes characterized with high levels of neuropilin-1 (Nrp1), termed Nrp1 high monocytes. Nrp1high monocytes displayed potent immunosuppressive activity as compared with their Nrp1low counterpart. Nrp1 deficiency in myeloid cells aggravated the severity of NEC, whereas adoptive transfer of Nrp1 highmonocytes led to remission of NEC. Mechanistic studies showed that Nrp1, via binding to its ligand Sema4a, induced intracellular p38-MAPK/mTOR signaling and activated the transcription factor KLF4. KLF4 transactivated Nos2 and enhanced the production of nitric oxide (NO), a key mediator of immunosuppression in monocytes. These observations uncover an important immunosuppressive axis in neonatal monocytes and provide a potential therapeutic strategy for inflammatory disorders in neonates.

Neuropilin-1 is Required for the Suppressive Function of Human Regulatory T Cells

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs), lymphocytes that suppress immunological reactions, are of great interest for our comprehension of homeostasis and regulation in the immune system and as a therapeutic target in the treatment of both immune-mediated pathologies and reactivation of the immune response in patients with cancer. Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which these cells are regulated in respone to their environment will help to inform clinical strategies targeting Tregs. We hypothesised that Neuropilin-1, a transmembrane co-receptor for ligands of the semaphorin and growth factor families, promotes the suppressive function of human Tregs. Utilising in vitro lentivirus-mediated transduction with shRNA to knock down neuropilin-1 in primary human Tregs, we demonstrated that neuropilin-1 knockdown Tregs were severely impaired in their capacity to suppress cell proliferation in vitro and in their ability to prolong allograft survival in a humanised mouse model of transplantation. While neuropilin-1-KD Tregs exhibited no defects in survival, proliferation and activation upon stimulation in vitro, we hypothesised that loss of NRP1 expression would alter the global gene expression profile of human Tregs, revealing a NRP1-dependent Treg-associated transcriptional signature.

Alteration in the transcriptome of lung resident fibroblast isolated from fibrotic lungs of IPF upon genetic knockdown of SOX9

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is associated with many chronic lung diseases including Systemic sclerosis (SSc), Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) which are characterized by the progressive accumulation of mesenchymal cells and formation of scar tissue. Pulmonary fibrosis is a dysregulated response to alveolar injury which causes a progressive decline in lung function and refractory to current pharmacological therapies. Airway and alveolar epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells contribute to pulmonary fibrosis but the cell-specific pathways and gene networks that are responsible for the pathophysiology are unknown. Our new findings have identified the aberrant activation of Sox9 in lung resident fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in IPF lung biopsies and the mouse model of transforming growth factor-α (TGFα) and bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we sought to determine Sox9-driven gene networks in lung resident fibroblast during pulmonary fibrosis. Our results showed that Sox9 regulates the transcriptional changes that are required for the fibroblast activation including migration, myofibroblast transformation, survival and extracellular matrix deposition during pulmonary fibrosis. In summary, this new study demonstrates that Sox9 is a critical regulator of fibroblast activation in IPF and hence serve as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Molecular characterization of a precision-cut rat lung slice model for the evaluation of anti-fibrotic drugs

Project description:The translation of novel pulmonary fibrosis therapies from preclinical models into the clinic represents a major challenge demonstrated by the high attrition rate of compounds that showed efficacy in preclinical models but demonstrated no significant beneficial effects in clinical trials. Precision-cut lung tissue slice (PCLS) contains all major cell types of the lung and preserves the original cell-cell and cell-matrix contacts. It represents a promising ex vivo model to study pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, using RNA sequencing, we demonstrated that TGFβ1 induced robust fibrotic responses in the rat PCLS model as it changed the expression of genes functionally related to extracellular matrix remodeling, cell adhesion, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and various immune responses. Nintedanib, pirfenidone and sorafenib each reversed a subset of genes modulated by TGFβ1 and of those genes we identified 229 genes whose expression was reversed by all three drugs. These genes define a molecular signature characterizing many aspects of pulmonary fibrosis pathology and its attenuation in the rat PCLS fibrosis model. A panel of 12 genes and 3 secreted biomarkers including procollagen I, HA and WISP1 were validated as efficacy endpoints for the evaluation of anti-fibrotic activity of experimental compounds. Finally, we showed that blockade of αV integrins suppressed TGFβ1-induced fibrotic responses in the rat PCLS fibrosis model. Overall, our results suggest that the TGFβ1-induced rat PCLS fibrosis model may represent a valuable system for target validation and to determine the efficacy of experimental compounds.
