MicroRNA regulates alveolar macrophage maintanance and function during pulmonary fibrosis

ABSTRACT: Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are important for maintaining lung homeostasis and involved in many lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis. Tissue-resident AMs (TR-AMs) derived from embryonic progenitors can self-renew locally in the steady state independently of hematopoiesis. During fibrogenesis, circulating monocytes rapidly migrate into the lung and become monocyte-derived AMs (Mo-AMs). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding small RNAs that are essential for regulating gene expression and processed by ribonuclease Dicer. However, the role of miRNAs in regulation of TR-AMs and Mo-AMs during pulmonary fibrosis remains poorly understood. Bulk RNA-seq analysis revealed divergent transcriptomic and pathway changes caused by miRNA deficiency in the two AM subgroups after BLM injury. We propose that miRNAs are key epigenetic mediators that differentially regulate TR-AM and Mo-AM maintenance and function in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis.

An ageing bone marrow exacerbates lung fibrosis via a dysregulated regulatory T cell driven axis, fuelling profibrotic macrophage persistence

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis is an incurable disease, which increasingly manifests with advanced age. Yet, how the ageing hematopoietic niche influences immune cell function and fibrosis progression in the lungs remains elusive. Using heterochronic transplant mouse models, we discovered that an aged bone marrow exacerbates lung fibrosis irrespective of lung tissue age. Upon lung injury, there was an increased pulmonary infiltration of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages (Mo-AMs) from an aged bone marrow. These Mo-AMs displayed an enhanced profibrotic profile and a delayed transition in acquiring a homeostatic tissue-resident phenotype. This impaired Mo-AM differentiation was attributed to diminished numbers of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and the reduced availability of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in the lung microenvironment of mice engrafted with aged bone marrow. Mechanistically, we show that Tregs are crucial providers of IL-10 that promote timely Mo-AM maturation and attenuate fibrosis progression. Our findings demonstrate the critical influence of an aged bone marrow on the development of lung fibrosis and identify a Treg-mediated resolutory axis as a potential therapeutic target for accelerated tissue repair.

Transcriptomes of B cells in the context of adenoviral TGF-β1- or bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in mice

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an irreversible diffuse parenchymal lung disease of poorly defined etiology. Patients with IPF frequently demonstrate distinctive lymphoplasmacellular infiltrations within remodeled lung tissue, the relevance of which in lung fibrogenesis is still understudied. Histopathological examination of explant lung tissue of patients with IPF revealed accentuated lymphoplasmacellular accumulates in close vicinity to or even infiltrating remodeled lung tissue. Similarly, we found significant accumulations of B cells interfused with T cells within remodeled lung tissue in two murine models of adenoviral TGF-β1 or bleomycin (BLM)-induced lung fibrosis. Such B cell accumulates coincided with significantly increased lung collagen deposition, lung histopathology and worsened lung function in WT mice. Importantly however, B cell deficient µMT KO mice responded similarly with lung tissue remodeling and worsened lung function upon either AdTGF-β1 or BLM treatment as did WT mice. Comparative transcriptomic profiling of sorted B cells collected from lungs of AdTGF-β1 and BLM exposed WT mice identified a large set of commonly regulated genes, however with significant enrichment observed for gene ontology terms (GO terms) apparently not related to lung fibrogenesis. Collectively, although we observed B cell accumulates in lungs of IPF patients as well as two experimental models of lung fibrosis, comparative profiling of characteristic features of lung fibrosis between WT and B cell-deficient mice did not support a major involvement of B cells in lung fibrogenesis in mice.

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.

Tff1-expressing Tregs in lung prevents exacerbation of Bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:Bleomycin (BLM) induces lung injury, leading to inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) maintain self-tolerance and control host immune responses. However, little is known about their involvement in the pathology of pulmonary fibrosis. Here we show that a unique Treg subset that expresses trefoil factor family 1(Tff1) emerges in the BLM-injured lung. These Tff1-expressing Tregs (Tff1-Tregs) were induced by IL-33. Moreover, although Tff1 ablation in Tregs had no impact, selective ablation of Tff1-Tregs using an intersectional genetic method promoted pro-inflammatory features of macrophages in the injured lung and exacerbated the fibrosis. Taken together, our study revealed the presence of a unique Treg subset expressing Tff1 in BLM-injured lungs and their critical role in the injured lung to ameliorate fibrosis.

Studies on bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in mice

Project description:We perfomed a microRNA microarray on to assess differentially expressed miRNAs in bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in mice. To induce pulmonary fibrosis, belomycine (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO) was dissolved and administred intratracheally at a dose of 1.5U/kg body weight. Control animals received saline only. 21 days post bleomycin treatment, mice were sacrificed and lung tissue were collected for RNA extraction and microRNA microarray.

Disease modeling of pulmonary fibrosis using human iPS cell-derived alveolar organoids (fibroblasts)

Project description:We developed an in vitro model of pulmonary fibrosis using alveolar organoids, consisting of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived alveolar epithelial cells and human lung fibroblasts. In this model, fibroblasts were activated by bleomysin (BLM) treatment in an epithelial cell-dependent manner simillar to the pathogenic mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis.

Gene expression data from bleomycin-instilled lung tissue or control (Sham) of C57BL/6 mice (wild-type mice and transgenic mice expressing dominant-negative form of p38α or constitutive active form of MKK6 in type II alveolar epithelial cells).

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a type of pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that results in scarring and stiffness of lung tissue affecting over 5 million people globally, while the underlying disease mechanisms in IPF are largely unknown. As an animal model of IPF, a single intratracheal injection of bleomycin (BLM) is generally employed, in which cell death of type II alveolar epithelial cells (AEC II) is a trigger of pulmonary fibrosis. One of mitogen-activated protein kinases, p38 is well known as an important regulator of inflammatory responses and cell fate such as apoptosis, differentiation and tumorgenesis. Given that mice with different intrinsic activity of p38 in AEC II were subjected to BLM instillation and investigated, candidate genes in the development of pulmonary fibrosis would be screened. Here, we provide gene expression profiling of lung tissues using the RNA sequencing for identifying changes in gene expression.
