AGING REGULATES VIRUS-TRIGGERED ASTHMATIC AIRWAY PATHOLOGY


ABSTRACT: To understand why asthma remit with aging, we exposed mice across a range of ages to viral and allergic triggers of asthma exacerbations and inflammatory airway pathology. We found that pathology induced by Sendai virus (SeV) or influenza A virus (IAV) occurred selectively in juvenile mice in a microbiome-independent manner, while the same phenotypes induced by allergens were relatively insensitive to age. Age-specific responses to SeV included a juvenile bias towards type-2 airway inflammation that emerged early in infection and was lost with maturation. With aging, we observed progressive transcriptional changes to alveolar macrophages (AMs) including the acquisition of high-level MHC-II expression. Importantly, depleting AMs before SeV infection canceled the protective effects of maturity on post-viral airway pathology. Thus, age-related changes to the lung immune micro-environment alter host responses to viruses and may drive childhood asthma remission.
