Alveolar type II epithelial cell FASN maintains lipid homeostasis in experimental COPD

ABSTRACT: Alveolar epithelial type II cells (AEC2) strictly regulate lipid metabolism to maintain surfactant synthesis. A loss in AEC2 cell function and surfactant production are implicated in the pathogenesis of the smoking related lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is unclear if smoking alters lipid synthesis in AEC2 cells and if altering lipid metabolism in AEC2 cells contributes to COPD development. In this study, high throughput lipidomic analysis revealed increased lipid biosynthesis in AEC2 cells isolated from mice chronically exposed to cigarette smoke (CS). Mice with a targeted deletion of the de novo lipogenesis enzyme, fatty acid synthase (FASN) in AEC2 cells (FasniAEC2) exposed to CS exhibited higher bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) neutrophils, higher BALF protein, more severe air-space enlargement and were more susceptible to age-induced emphysema. FasniAEC2 mice exposed to CS had lower levels of key surfactant phospholipids but higher levels of BALF ether phospholipids, sphingomyelins and polyunsaturated fatty acid containing-phospholipids, as well as increased BALF surface tension. FasniAEC2 mice exposed to CS also had higher markers of ferroptosis in the lung. These data suggest that AEC2 cell FASN modulates the response of the lung to smoke by regulating the composition of the surfactant phospholipidome.

Modulation of atherogenic lipidome

Project description:Objective: Although relationships between smoking and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and CVD and lipids are established, direct impact of cigarette smoke (CS) on lipidomes remains elusive. We investigated the effect of 6 month smoke exposure on a well-established mouse model for human atherogenesis, Apoe mouse plasma, liver, and aorta molecular lipid profiles and liver transcriptome. // Methods: Plasma, liver, and aorta samples from Apoe mice exposed to CS or fresh air for 6 months were extracted for lipids using robotic-assisted method and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Gene expression of samples from the same livers was obtained on microarrays. Development of atherosclerosis in aorta was further assessed by plaque size measurement in the aortic arch and lipoprotein measurements in plasma and in the plaque. // Results: CS increased most lipid classes and molecular lipid species in tissues evaluated. In plasma, free cholesterol, ceramides, cerebrosides, and majority of phospholipids were increased in CS-exposed mice. In liver, CS elevated several lipid species including free and esterified cholesterol, triacylglycerols, phospholipids, sphingomyelins, and ceramides. In aorta, more than 2-fold higher cholesteryl ester (CE), lysophosphatidylcholine, and glucosyl/galactosylceramide levels were recorded in mice exposed to CS compared to mice exposed to fresh air. Moreover, CS exposure induced a significant decrease in several plasma CE and phosphatidylcholine species that contained polyunsaturated fatty acids. Genes involved in amino acid and lipid metabolism showed perturbed transcription profiles in liver. // Conclusion: These data reveal molecular details accompanying the increase in plaque size, sign of atherogenesis in Apoe mice, which is accelerated by CS exposure.

Effect of cessation after initial exposure to cigarette smoke

Project description:Although smoking cessation shows clear cardiovascular risk benefits, lung-related disease risk remains higher in former smokers than in never smokers. To better understand the factors involved in this phenomenon, ApoE-/- mice were exposed to mainstream cigarette smoke (CS) or a smoking cessation-mimicking protocol for up to six months. Analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from CS-exposed ApoE-/- mice revealed the presence of high concentrations of mediators involved in functions ranging from inflammation to cell proliferation and tissue remodeling. Gene expression levels for many analytes found elevated in BALF were also increased in lung tissue, indicating that the inflammatory response was the result of local tissue activation and the contribution of recruited inflammatory cells. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of expression data from lungs of CS-exposed mice showed activation of pathways involved in cell proliferation and tissue remodeling and a progressive deactivation upon smoke exposure cessation. Distinct activation patterns of inflammation, complement, and xenobiotic metabolism pathways were found in nasal epithelium and lung parenchyma during CS exposure and smoking cessation. Exposure of ApoE-/- mice to CS for up to 6 months induced adaptive and inflammatory responses in the respiratory tract that were partially deactivated upon cessation. We were able to reveal molecular perturbations accompanying these changes during CS exposure and cessation. Differential CS-mediated responses of pulmonary and nasal tissues reflect common mechanisms but also the varying degrees of epithelial functional specialization along the respiratory tract. These findings provide novel clues for the identification of markers of COPD progression.

polyA+ RNA sequencing on FACS sorted alveolar macrophages (CD45+SiglecF+CD11c+) from air and cigarette-smoke exposed wild type and miR-155 KO mice

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a highly prevalent respiratory disease characterized by airflow limitation and chronic inflammation. MiR-155 is described as an ancient regulator of the immune system. Our objective was to establish a role for miR-155 in cigarette smoke (CS)-induced inflammation and COPD. We demonstrate increased miR-155 expression by RT-qPCR in lung tissue of smokers without airflow limitation and patients with COPD compared to never smokers and in lung tissue and alveolar macrophages of CS-exposed mice compared to air-exposed mice. In addition, we exposed wild type and miR-155 deficient mice to CS and show an attenuated inflammatory profile in the latter. Alveolar macrophages were sorted by FACS from the different experimental groups and their gene expression profile was analyzed by RNA sequencing. This analysis revealed increased expression of miR-155 targets (including the NF-κB inhibitor rassf6) and an attenuation of the CS-induced increase in inflammation-related genes in miR-155 deficient mice. Finally, intranasal instillation of a specific miR-155 inhibitor significantly attenuated the CS-induced pulmonary inflammation in mice. In conclusion, we highlight a role for miR-155 in CS-induced inflammation and the pathogenesis of COPD, implicating miR-155 as a new therapeutic target in COPD.

Non targeted metabolomic analysis of mouse and human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, Lipid(-) experiment (part II)

Project description:Mouse BALF was collected from C57BL/6 mice (n = 10). Five mice were exposed to ambient air for one day (air control) and five mice were exposed to CS for nine months (smoking). Human BALF was collected from subjects from the COPDGene cohort (n = 5). COPD diagnosis was based on the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC). Subjects were 45-70 years old, BMI 27-45, weight 76-125kg, and were categorized as follows: 1 male former smoker without COPD (FEV1/FVC = 0.82), 2 male current smokers without COPD (FEV1/FVC = 0.91 and 0.79), 1 female current smoker with moderate COPD (FEV1/FVC = 0.51), and 1 male current smoker with moderate COPD (FEV1/FVC = 0.64)

Haploinsufficiency of Hedgehog interacting protein causes increased emphysema induced by cigarette smoke through network rewiring

Project description:BACKGROUND: The HHIP gene, encoding Hedgehog interacting protein, has been implicated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and our subsequent studies identified a functional upstream genetic variant that decreased HHIP transcription. However, little is known about how HHIP contributes to COPD pathogenesis. METHODS: Here, we exposed Hhip haploinsufficient mice (Hhip+/-) to cigarette smoke (CS) for 6 months to model the biological consequences caused by CS in human COPD risk-allele carriers at the HHIP locus. Gene expression profiling in murine lungs was performed followed by an integrative network inference analysis, PANDA (Passing Attributes between Networks for Data Assimilation) analysis. RESULTS: We detected more severe airspace enlargement in Hhip+/- mice vs. wild-type littermates (Hhip+/+) exposed to CS. Gene expression profiling in murine lungs suggested enhanced lymphocyte activation pathways in CS-exposed Hhip+/- vs. Hhip+/+ mice, which was supported by increased numbers of lymphoid aggregates and enhanced activation of CD8+ T cells after CS-exposure in the lungs of Hhip+/- mice compared to Hhip+/+ mice. Mechanistically, results from PANDA network analysis suggested a rewired and dampened Klf4 signaling network in Hhip+/- mice after CS exposure. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, HHIP haploinsufficiency exaggerated CS-induced airspace enlargement, which models CS-induced emphysema in human smokers carrying COPD risk alleles at the HHIP locus. Network modeling suggested rewired lymphocyte activation signaling circuits in the HHIP haploinsufficiency state.

Lung gene expression of ApoE-/- mice in an 8-month inhalation study to assess exposure effects for a candidate modified risk tobacco product, THS 2.2 compared with conventional cigarettes

Project description:Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for the development and progression of diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Modified risk tobacco products (MRTP) are designed to reduce smoking-related health risks. Suitable animal models are important for understanding smoke-induced pathogenesis. Over an 8-month period, hallmarks of both COPD and CVD were investigated in ApoE?/? mice exposed to conventional cigarette smoke (CS) or to an aerosol from a candidate MRTP, the tobacco heating system (THS2.2). In addition to chronic exposure, cessation or switching to THS2.2 after 2 months of CS were investigated.ﾠ In a systems toxicology approach, classical end points (e.g., physiology, histology) were complemented with transcriptomics, lipidomics, and proteomics analyses. CS induced nasal epithelial hyperplasia and metaplasia, lung inflammation, and emphysematous changes (impaired pulmonary function, alveolar damage). Atherogenic effects of CS exposure were altered lipid profiles and increased aortic plaque formation. Exposure to THS2.2 aerosol (nicotine concentration matched to CS ﾖ 29.9 mg/m3) did not induce lung inflammation and emphysema, nor did it consistently change the lipid profile or enhance the plaque area. Cessation and switching caused reversal of inflammatory responses and no progression of initial emphysematous changes and aortic plaque area. Biological processes, e.g., senescence, inflammation, proliferation, were significantly impacted in 3R4F-exposed, but not in THS2.2-exposed tissues. Cessation or switching reduced these perturbations to become nearly indistinguishable from sham-exposure. In conclusion, the mouse model indicated retarded progression of atherosclerotic and emphysematous changes upon cessation or switching to THS2.2 which alone had no adverse effects.

Use of Apoe−/− Mice in an 8-Month Systems Toxicology Inhalation/Cessation Study to Investigate Cardiovascular and Respiratory Exposure Effects of a Candidate Modified Risk Tobacco Product, THS 2.2, Compared with Conventional Cigarettes

Project description:Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for the development and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), so modified risk tobacco products (MRTPs) are being developed to reduce smoking-related health risks. The present study investigated the hallmarks of COPD and CVD over an 8-month period in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice exposed to conventional cigarette smoke (CS) or to an aerosol from a candidate MRTP, the tobacco heating system (THS2.2). In addition to chronic exposure, cessation or switching to THS2.2 after 2 months of CS was investigated. In a systems toxicology approach, exposure effects were investigated using physiology and histology combined with transcriptomics, lipidomics, and proteomics. CS induced nasal epithelial hyperplasia and metaplasia, lung inflammation, and emphysematous changes (impaired pulmonary function and alveolar damage). Atherogenic effects of CS exposure included altered lipid profiles and increased aortic plaque formation. Exposure to THS2.2 aerosol (nicotine concentration matched to CS: 29.9 mg/m3) did not induce lung inflammation or emphysema, nor did it consistently change the lipid profile or enhance the plaque area. Cessation and switching reversed the inflammatory responses and led to no further progression of initial emphysematous changes or the aortic plaque area. Biological processes, including senescence, inflammation, and proliferation, were significantly impacted in CS, but not THS2.2-exposed tissues. Cessation or switching reduced these perturbations to become nearly indistinguishable from sham exposure. In conclusion, this mouse model indicated that cessation or switching to THS2.2 retarded the progression of atherosclerotic and emphysematous changes, while THS2.2 alone had no adverse effects.
