Epithelial Plasticity and Innate Immune Activation Promote Lung Tissue Remodeling following Respiratory Viral Infection.

ABSTRACT: As observed in mice with genetic depletion of stem cells, epithelial plasticity is a critical component of tissue repair in response to injury; however, the physiological relevance of this process and the involved progenitor populations are not well understood. Severe respiratory viral infection and chronic lung disease share pathological features including stem cell loss in the gas-exchange regions, basal cell (BC) hyperplasia in small airways, and innate immune activation. Collectively, these processes contribute to epithelial remodeling and loss of diffusion capacity. Here, we show that small airways harbor a previously undescribed lineage of secretory cells, intralobar serous (IS) cells, that are activated to assume BC fates following influenza virus infection. Nascent BC were distinguished from pre-existing BC by high expression of IL-22Ra1 and a dependency on innate immune activation and local IL-22 production for self-renewal and colonization of injured alveoli. Resolution of virus-elicited inflammation and the associated decline in IL-22 signaling resulted in basal to serous re-differentiation in repopulated alveoli, and increased local expression of antimicrobial factors, but failed to replace normal alveolar epithelium. We define a mechanism whereby epithelial plasticity confers protection against mortality from acute respiratory viral infection but has potential to contribute to progressive lung remodeling and life-threatening declines in lung function among patients with chronic lung disease.

Cyclophilin D promotes disease tolerance to influenza A virus infection by licensing NK cell development and function

Project description:An effective immune response to influenza A virus (IAV) requires two arms: host resistance, which restricts viral replication, and disease tolerance that limits tissue damage caused by the immune response to IAV. Interestingly, fatal influenza infections are more often associated with dysregulated inflammation, rather than an inability to control viral replication, highlighting the importance of mechanisms involved in disease tolerance to IAV. Here, we show that cyclophilin D (CypD), a mitochondrial protein known to regulate cell death and cytokine production, protects against IAV infection through disease tolerance. Mice deficient in CypD (CypD-/-) exhibit enhanced susceptibility to IAV infection, despite comparable myeloid immune responses and intact antiviral immunity. Instead, CypD-/- susceptibility was due to pulmonary tissue damage, caused by a lack of the cytokine IL-22 that protects the lung epithelium. We found the necessary source of IL-22 following IAV infection to be conventional natural killer (NK) cells that failed to reach the airways of infected CypD-deficient mice, as a result of dysregulated lymphopoiesis in the bone marrow. Importantly, following infection, a single administration of recombinant IL-22 in the airways abrogated pulmonary damage and rescued CypD-/- mice. Thus, the CypD/IL-22/NK cell axis is critical in immunity to IAV by promoting disease tolerance, limiting lung tissue damage and maintaining pulmonary function.

A bipotential organoid culture of respiratory epithelium for modeling SARS-CoV-2 infection

Project description:The airways and the alveoli of the human respiratory tract are lined by two distinct types of epithelium. We previously established long-term expanding human lung epithelial organoids from lung tissues and developed a ‘proximal’ differentiation protocol to generate mucociliary airway organoids, yet the derivation of alveolar organoids from adult lung has remained a challenge. Here we defined a ‘distal’ differentiation approach to generate alveolar organoids from the same source that allows the establishment of airway organoids. Alveolar organoids are enriched for AT1 and AT2 cells and functionally simulate the alveolar epithelium. AT2 cells in lung organoids act as the progenitor cells from which alveolar organoids emerge. Moreover, we demonstrate productive SARS-CoV-2 infection of alveolar organoids. We further optimize 2-dimensional (2D) airway organoids. When differentiated under a slightly acidic pH, these 2D airway organoids sustain enhanced viral replication and better recapitulate the high infectivity of SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, the optimized 2D airway organoids can model IgG transcytosis across the airway epithelium. Collectively, we establish a bipotential organoid culture system that can reproducibly expand the entire human respiratory epithelium in vitro for modeling respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.

Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex

Project description:Bovine respiratory epithelial cells have different susceptibility to bovine respiratory syncytial virus infection. The cells derived from the lower respiratory tract were significantly more susceptible to the virus than those derived from the upper respiratory tract. Pre-infection with virus of lower respiratory tract with increased adherence of P. multocida; this was not the case for upper tract. However, the molecular mechanisms of enhanced bacterial adherence are not completely understood. To investigate whether virus infection regulates the cellular adherence receptor on bovine trachea-, bronchus- and lung-epithelial cells, we performed proteomic analyses.

Transcription profiling of branching and non-branching regions of the mouse embryonic lung.

Project description:During development, the proximal and distal regions of respiratory tract undergo distinct processes that ultimately give rise to conducting airways and alveoli. To gain insights into the genetic pathways differentially activated in these regions when branching morphogenesis is initiating, we characterized their transcriptional profiles in murine rudiments isolated at embryonic day 11.5.

TLR-2-mediated activation of innate responses in the upper airways confers rapid anti-viral protection of the lungs

Project description:The impact of respiratory virus infections on global health is felt not just during a pandemic but for many, endemic seasonal infections pose an equal and ongoing risk of severe disease. Moreover, vaccines and antiviral drugs are not always effective or available for many respiratory viruses. We investigated how induction of effective and appropriate antigen independent innate immunity in the upper airways can prevent spread of respiratory virus infection to the vulnerable lower airways. Activation of Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2), when restricted to the nasal turbinates results in prompt induction of innate immune-driven anti-viral responses through action of cytokines, chemokines and cellular activity in the upper but not the lower airways. We define how nasal epithelial cells and recruitment of macrophages work in concert and play pivotal roles to limit progression of influenza virus to the lungs and sustain protection for up to seven days. These results reveal underlying mechanisms of how control of viral infection in the upper airways can occur and also support the implementation of strategies that can activate TLR2 in nasal passages to provide rapid protection, especially for at-risk populations, against severe respiratory infection when vaccines and antiviral drugs are not always effective or available.

Identification of IL-22 regulated genes in the ileum after infection with Toxoplasma gondii

Project description:IL-22 acts on epithelial cells and has been shown to induce tissue protective and wound healing responses in these cells. But it has recently been decribed that IL-22 exacerbates ileatis after infection with T. gondii. The goal of the study is to identify the IL-22-dependent genes during T. gondii infection in order to understand why IL-22 is pathogenic in this context.

Deletion of Scap in Alveolar Type II Cells Influences Lung Lipid Homeostasis and Identifies a Compensatory Role for Pulmonary Lipofibroblasts

Project description:Pulmonary function after birth is dependent upon surfactant lipids that reduce surface tension in the alveoli. The sterol-responsive element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are transcription factors regulating expression of genes controlling lipid homeostasis in many tissues. To identify the role of SREBPs in the lung, we conditionally deleted the SREBP cleavage-activating protein gene, Scap, in respiratory epithelial cells (Scap∆/∆) in vivo. Prior to birth (E18.5), deletion of Scap decreased the expression of both SREBPs and a number of genes regulating fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism. Nevertheless, Scap∆/∆ mice survived postnatally, surfactant and lung tissue lipids being substantially normalized in adult Scap∆/∆ mice. Although phospholipid synthesis was decreased in type II cells from adult Scap∆/∆ mice, lipid storage, synthesis, and transfer by lung lipofibroblasts were increased. mRNA microarray data indicated that SCAP influenced two major gene networks, one regulating lipid metabolism and the other stress-related responses. Deletion of the SCAP/SREBP pathway in respiratory epithelial cells altered lung lipid homeostasis and induced compensatory lipid accumulation and synthesis in lung lipofibroblasts. To identify the role of SREBPs in the lung, we conditionally deleted the SREBP cleavage-activating protein gene, Scap, in respiratory epithelial cells (Scap∆/∆) in vivo.Lung cRNA was hybridized to the murine genome MOE430 V2 chips.

SARS-CoV-2 Evades immune detection in Alveolar Macrophages

Project description:Respiratory infections, like the current pandemic SARS-CoV-2 virus, target the epithelial cells in the respiratory tract. However, alveolar macrophages (AMs) are tissue-resident macrophages located within the alveoli of the lung and they play a key role in the early phases of an immune response to respiratory infections. We expect that AMs are the first immune cells to encounter the SARS-CoV-2 and therefore their reaction to SARS-CoV-2 infection will have a profound impact upon the outcome of the infection. Interferons (IFNs) are antiviral cytokines and the first cytokine produced upon viral infection. Here, we challenge AMs with SARS-CoV-2 and to our surprise find that the AMs are incapable of recognising SARS-CoV-2 and produce IFN. This is in contrast to respiratory pathogens, such as influenza A virus and Sendai virus. Callenge of AMs with those viruses resulted in a robust IFN response. The absence of IFN production by AMs upon challenge could explain the initial asymptotic phase of SARS-CoV-2 infections and argues against the AMs as the source of proinflamatory cytokines later in infection.
