Resolution of Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease and Inflammation Driven by Mucus Obstruction with Resolvin D1

ABSTRACT: Progressive lung disease remains the major cause of morbidity and mortality of people with cystic fibrosis (CF). CF lung disease evolves from mucus obstruction into non-resolving airway inflammation, bronchiectasis, and damage that impairs respiratory and fitness activity. Therefore, therapeutic strategies that promote resolution of airway inflammation in CF to alleviate the burden of airflow obstruction and improve physical capacity are of wide interest. Here, we report that the proresolving lipid mediator resolvin (Rv) D1 halts mucus-driven inflammation in CF human cells and in vivo. RvD1 dampened migration and pathogenic phenotypes of neutrophils from volunteers with CF as well as inflammatory signaling pathways of CF bronchial epithelial cells triggered by CF mucus. In mice overexpressing the β-subunit of the epithelial Na+ channel (βENaC) RvD1 administration prevented and reverted lung inflammation caused by mucus accumulation and promoted the resolution of pulmonary exacerbation caused by P. aeruginosa. RvD1 also significantly improved physical activity and energy expenditure that are impaired in βENaC mice compared to wild type littermates. These findings demonstrate efficacy of RvD1 in enhancing resolution of lung disease and chronic inflammation associated with mucus obstruction and provide proof of concept for its potential therapeutic approach in FC.

Project description:Scnn1b-Tg mice overexpress the beta subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (Scnn1b) in airway Club cells. The general phenotype of these mice is described in three published manuscripts (Mall et al. 2004, Nature Medicine, 10(5):487-93; Mall et al. 2008, Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 177(7):730-42; Livraghi-Butrico et al. 2012, Physiol. Genomics 44(8):470-84; and Livraghi-Butrico et al. 2012, Mucosal Immunology 5(4):397-408). Briefly, overexpression of the Scnn1b transgene in airway Club cells leads to hyperabsorption of sodium from the airway surface liquid, which causes airway surface liquid and mucus dehydration, resulting in reduced mucus clearance and airway mucus obstruction. The data provided here represents mRNA expression data from disseccted whole lung from male WT and Scnn1b-transgenic littermates (C57Bl/6NTac background) at 4 time points [postnatal days (PND) 0, 3, 10, and 42]. Histologically, PND 0 lungs are normal, at PND 3 the intrapulmonary airways exhibit transient and spotty Club cell necrosis, and by PND 10 airway mucus obstruction is evident in the proximal portion of the intrapulmonary main stem bronchus. At PND 42, Scnn1b-Tg lungs are charactyerized by chronic low level inflammation, with activated macrophages, neutrophilia, eosinophilia and increased incidence of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue. The data from the WT mice provides a global look at mRNA post-natal developmental changes, while the data from the Scnn1b-transgenic line allows differential gene expression due to airway surface liquid dehydration and mucus obstruction to be queried. The data presented for the lung is part of a larger body of work evaluating gene expression in lung (left lobe only), trachea, and purified macrophages (from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid). 24 Total lung (left lobe only) samples were analyzed; three from each timepoint for each genotype (wild type and Scnn1b-transgenic). In our manuscript, we were most interested in changes between WT and Scnn1b-Tg mice, however, the data can also be used to evaluate changes in gene expression across time (PND 0, 3, 10, and 42). We generated the following pairwise comparisons: Scnn1b-Tg vs WT mice for each PND time point; Intra-strain comparison between PND 3, or 10, or 42 vs PND 0.

Briefly, overexpression of the Scnn1b transgene in airway Club cells leads to hyperabsorption of sodium from the airway surface liquid, which causes airway surface liquid and mucus dehydration, resulting in reduced mucus clearance and airway mucus obstruction. The data provided here represents mRNA expression data from dissected whole trachea (distal and proximal ends were cut 3-4 cartilage rings below the larynx and just above the bifurcation, respectively) from male WT and Scnn1b-Tg littermates (C57Bl/6N Tac background) at 4 time points [postnatal days (PND) 0, 3, 10, and 42]. Histologically, PND 0 trachea are normal, a tracheal mucus plug/obstruction develops around PND 3 and typically recedes to the intrapulmonary airways after PND 10, and the trachea is again histologically normal by PND 42. The data from the WT mice provides a global look at mRNA post-natal developmental changes, while the data from the Scnn1b-Tg line provides mRNA data that allows differential gene expression due to airway mucus obstruction to be queried. The data presented for the trachea is part of a larger body of work evaluating gene expression in whole lung, trachea, and purified macrophages. 24 Total tracheal samples were analyzed; three from each timepoint. In our manuscript, we were most interested in changes between WT and Scnn1b-Tg mice, however, the data can also be used to evaluate changes in gene expression across time (PND 0, 3, 10, and 42). It should be noted that a significant difference in RNA expression quality parameters was noted for the 10 day trachea data.
