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:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal lung disease where invasive pulmonary myofibroblasts secrete collagen and destroy lung integrity. Here we show that IL-11 is upregulated in the lung of IPF patients, associated with disease severity and is secreted from IPF fibroblasts. In vitro, IL-11 stimulates lung fibroblasts to become invasive, ACTA2+ve, collagen secreting myofibroblasts, in an ERK-dependent fashion. In mice, fibroblast-specific transgenic expression or administration of Il-11 drives lung fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transformation and causes lung fibrosis. Il11ra1 deleted mice, whose lung fibroblasts are unresponsive to pro-fibrotic stimulation, are protected from fibrosis in the bleomycin mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis. We generated an IL-11 neutralising antibody that blocks lung fibroblast activation downstream of multiple stimuli and reverses myofibroblast activation. In therapeutic studies, anti-IL-11 treatment both prevented and reversed lung fibrosis, which was accompanied by diminished Erk activation. These data prioritise IL-11 as a drug target for lung fibrosis and IPF.

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.

Project description:Intratracheal application of bleomycin is known to induce inflammatory and fibrotic reactions in the lung within a short period of time and histological features include infiltration of inflammatory cells, collagen deposition and obliteration of alveolar spaces. Because some of these features are found in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis animal model is commonly used. However, exploratory treatments that were successfully used in this animal model and progressed to clinical trials lacked significant efficacy in humans. Here, the bleomycin-induced rat lung fibrosis model was studied using whole genome expression data that was collected at various time points and the relevance to human disease was evaluated through comparison with whole genome expression data from IPF patient-derived lung biopsies. The highest gene expression correlation between both species was observed in animals 7 days after bleomycin instillation. These gene expression signatures helped to identify a set of twelve novel disease-relevant translational gene markers that were able to separate IPF patients from controls. Furthermore, three Wnt/-catenin pathway-related genes that belong to this translational gene marker set showed, together with clinical diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) measurements, the potential to stratify IPF patients according to disease severity. Pirfenidone attenuated a subset of the translational gene markers in the bleomycin-induced fibrosis model, in particular those related to Wnt/-catenin-signaling. This novel translational gene marker panel offers improved possibilities to evaluate disease-modifying efficacy of novel therapeutic concepts in the bleomycin-induced rat lung fibrosis model and could be applied as a diagnostic and prognostic tool for IPF patient care.

Project description:Lung fibrosis represents the final common pathway of a variety of lung injuries, and it is characterized, independently of etiology, by the expansion of the fibroblast/myofibroblast population and by the abnormal accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) replacing normal functional parenchyma. In general, there is no effective therapy, and currently the only helpful available treatment for advanced lung fibrosis is transplantation. In this study we aimed to document the time-related reversibility of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis, and to determine the gene expression patterns associated with the initial progression and the subsequent regression of the fibrotic response by microarray in this bleomycin mouse model of lung fibrosis. Mice (C57BL/6 ) aging 8 to 10 weeks were instilled intratracheally with 0.10 U/10 g of bleomycin (Blenoxane, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.) in 50 μl sterile saline. Control animals received an equal volume of sterile saline (9, 10). Mice were housed in specific pathogen-free conditions and provided with food and water ad libitum. All studies and procedures were approved by the Science and Ethic Committee at the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases and were performed according to the protocols and guidelines of the institutional animal care and use committee. Mice were sacrificed at 7 days and 1, 2, 3, and 4 months after bleomycin or saline treatment. For every variable, six control and six experimental mice were used.

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis results from dysregulated repair of damaged tissue caused by persistent injury of lung epithelium. Multiple cell types in the lung are involved in the process of repair. During lung fibrogenesis, normal endothelial cells (EC) are re-programmed into fibrosis-associated EC. Transcriptional factors that control re-programming are poorly understood. Using single cell RNA-sequencing of EC from donor and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) lungs, and lungs from bleomycin-treated mice, we identified endothelial transcription factors (TF) that were differentially expressed during fibrosis. Focusing on one of endothelial TF, FOXF1, we demonstrated that FOXF1 is decreased in EC within human IPF and mouse bleomycin-injured fibrotic lungs.

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis is often triggered by an epithelial injury resulting in the formation of fibrotic lesions in the lung, which progress to impair gas exchange and ultimately cause death. Recent clinical trials using drugs that target either inflammation or a specific molecule have failed, suggesting that multiple pathways and cellular processes need to be attenuated for effective reversal of established and progressive fibrosis. Although activation of MAPK and PI3K pathways have been detected in human fibrotic lung samples, the therapeutic benefits of in vivo modulation of the MAPK and PI3K pathways in combination are unknown. Overexpression of TGF? in the lung epithelium of transgenic mice results in the formation of fibrotic lesions similar to those found in human pulmonary fibrosis, and previous work from our group shows that inhibitors of either the MAPK or PI3K pathway can alter the progression of fibrosis. In this study, we sought to determine whether simultaneous inhibition of the MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways is a more effective therapeutic strategy for established and progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Our results showed that inhibiting both pathways had additive effects compared to inhibiting either pathway alone in reducing fibrotic burden, including reducing lung weight, pleural thickness, and total collagen in the lungs of TGF? mice. This study demonstrates that inhibiting MEK and PI3K in combination abolishes proliferative gene changes associated with fibrosis and myfibroblast accumulation and thus may serve as a therapeutic option in the treatment of human fibrotic lung disease where these pathways play a role. mRNA profiles of CCSP/TGFalpha mice treated with vehicle, ARRY, PX-866, ARRY/PX-866
