Project description:Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common life-threatening critical syndrome with no effective pharmacotherapy. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are considered as a new way of long-distance communication between cells. Our previous research using an ex vivo perfused human ALI model suggested that endothelial cell-derived EVs (EC-EVs) mediate the development of ALI/ARDS. However, how EC-EVs aggravate lung injury remains largely unknown. Here we demonstrated that EC-EVs released under inflammatory stimulation are preferentially taken up by monocytes and reprogram the differentiation of monocytes towards M1 type macrophage. These findings demonstrate a previously unidentified mechanism by which distant infections could lead to ALI/ARDS, providing novel targets and strategies for the prevention and treatment of sepsis-related ALI/ARDS.

Project description:The toxicity of silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles is hypothesised to be mediated by dissolved metal ions and cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) are hypothesised to induce toxicity specifically by oxidative stress dependant on their surface redox state. To test these hypotheses, RNAseq was applied to characterise the molecular responses of cells to metal nanoparticle and metal ion exposures. The human epithelial lung carcinoma cell line A549 was exposed to different CeO2 NPs with different surface charges, micron-sized and nano-sized silver particles and silver ions, micron-sized and nano-sized zinc oxide particles and zinc ions, or control conditions, for 1 hour, 6 hours and 24 hours. Concentrations were the lower of either EC20 or 128 micrograms/mL. Transcriptional responses were characterised by RNAseq transcriptomics using an Illumina HiSeq2500 .

Project description:Background: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) or its earlier stage Acute lung injury (ALI), is a worldwide health concern that jeopardizes human well-being. Currently, the treatment strategies to mitigate the incidence and mortality of ARDS are severely restricted. This limitation can be attributed, at least in part, to the substantial variations in immunity observed in individuals with this syndrome. Methods: Bulk and single cell RNA sequencing from ALI mice and single cell RNA sequencing from ARDS patients were analyzed. We utilized the Seurat program package in R and cellmarker 2.0 to cluster and annotate the data. The differential, enrichment, protein interaction, and cell-cell communication analysis were conducted. Results: The mice with ALI caused by pulmonary and extrapulmonary factors demonstrated differential expression including Clec4e, Retnlg, S100a9, Coro1a, and Lars2. We have determined that inflammatory factors have a greater significance in extrapulmonary ALI, while multiple pathways collaborate in the development of pulmonary ALI. Clustering analysis revealed significant heterogeneity in the relative abundance of immune cells in different ALI models. The autocrine action of neutrophils plays a crucial role in pulmonary ALI. Additionally, there was a significant increase in signaling intensity between B cells and M1 macrophages, NKT cells and M1 macrophages in extrapulmonary ALI. The CXCL, CSF3 and MIF, TGFβ signaling pathways play a vital role in pulmonary and extrapulmonary ALI, respectively. Moreover, the analysis of human single-cell revealed DCs signaling to monocytes and neutrophils in COVID-19-related ARDS is stronger compared to sepsis-associated ARDS. In sepsis-associated ARDS, CD8+ T and Th cells exhibit more prominent signaling to B-cell nucleated DCs. Meanwhile, both MIF and CXCL signaling pathways are specific to sepsis-associated ARDS. Conclusions: This study has identified specific gene signatures and signaling pathways in animal models and human samples that facilitate the interaction between immune cells, which could be targeted therapeutically in ARDS patients of various etiologies.

Project description:Dietary zinc is routinely supplemented to promote growth, boost the immune system, protect against diabetes or aid recovery from diarrhoea. We exploited the zebrafish (Danio rerio) gill as a unique vertebrate ion transporting epithelium model to study the time-dependent regulatory networks of gene-expression leading to homeostatic control during zinc supplementation. This organ forms a conduit for zinc uptake whilst exhibiting conservation of zinc trafficking components. Fish were maintained with zinc supplemented water (4.0 uM) and diet (2023 mg zinc kg-1) or in un-amended water and diet, containing Zn2+ at 0.25 µM and 233 mg zinc kg-1 respectively. Gill tissues were harvested at five time points (8 hours to 14 days) and transcriptome changes analysed in quintuplicate using a 16K microarray. Global transcript levels were measured in zebrafish gills using a oligonucleotide array either zinc-adequate or zinc-supplemented diet. Gill samples were collected at five time points and transcriptome changes analysed in quintuplicate using a 16K oligonucleotide array

Project description:Zinc deficiency is detrimental to organisms highlighting its role as an essential micronutrient contributing to numerous biological processes. To investigate the underlying molecular events invoked by zinc depletion we performed a temporal analysis of transcriptome changes observed within zebrafish gill. This tissue represents a model system for studying ion absorption across polarised cells as it provides a major pathway for fish to acquire zinc directly from water whilst sharing a conserved zinc transporting system with mammals. Zebrafish were treated with either zinc-depleted (water = 2.61 μg L-1; diet = 26 mg kg-1) or zinc-adequate (water = 16.3 μg L-1; diet = 233 mg kg-1) conditions for two weeks. Gill samples were collected at five time points and transcriptome changes analysed in quintuplicate using a 16K oligonucleotide array. Global transcript levels were measured in zebrafish gills using a oligonucleotide array either zinc-depleted or zinc-adequate diet.

Project description:Most blue color in flowers is due to anthocyanin, and considerable proportion of blue coloration can be attributed to metal-complexed anthocyanins. Recently, we reported vacuolar localized iron-transporter in blue petal cells of Tulipa gesneriana. However the mechanism of another metal ion transporters and subsequent flower color development has yet to be fully explored. In Hydrangea macrophylla, Al3+ is involved in blue coloration and the anthocyanin is formed Al3+-complex in vacuoles. To identify the molecular mechanism of blue coloration in hydrangea flowers, we tried to isolate the related genes transporting metal ion into vacuoles. From the sepal cDNA library we read the sequences of ca. 12000 genes, then a microarray analysis was carried out. From the sequences information, we chose several genes that might localize vacuolar membrane and transport Al3+. By using Al3+-sensitive yeast strain, we could identify the gene transporting Al3+ into vacuole. From the functional similarity and predicted localization, we could also identify the gene transporting Al3+ into cytosol. We will report the Al3+ mobilization from out of cell into vacuole in the sepal of Hydrangea macrophylla.

Project description:With advances in supportive therapy in the last two decades, mortality rates from ALI/ARDS have improved somewhat, but remain around 30 to 40% with significant morbidity in survivors. Several promising treatments are in various stages of evaluation, but many have failed to prove beneficial in large randomized clinical trials (RCT). The first definitive step forward in ALI therapeutics occurred recently as a result of a large RCT demonstrating a mortality decrease from 40 to 31% with the use of low-volume ventilation strategies. From this, it is clear that the opportunity for successful intervention in ALI exists. However, therapeutic advances remain frustrated by the lack of complete understanding of ALI pathophysiology. This stresses the importance of integrating basic and clinical research of the molecular pathogenesis of this disease. The conclusions of a recent National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Working Group on ALI support this type of research as a priority for future investigations of ALI. One of the areas of research given priority by this ALI Working Group is the issue of ALI severity progression and the role of cells of innate immunity in this process. Currently, the processes that determine which ALI patients progress to ARDS and which do not are unclear. As with many phenotype differences, there is most likely a genetic component involved. The basis for this has been demonstrated. For example, a surfactant protein B (SP-B) polymorphism appears to increase a patientâ??s risk of developing ALI from pneumonia. Additionally, a polymorphism in the promoter region of the gene for interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been associated with a poor prognosis in patients with ARDS. Understanding the intracellular processes of these genes and the cells expressing them in ALI progression could lead to the identification of molecular markers of ALI severity and eventually to the development of targeted therapies. An examination of genetically uniform animals will provide a clearer insight into the interaction between immune cells in ALI progression as well as guide future human experiments. Experiment Overall Design: Specific Aim 1. We will prospectively collect and bank RNA from peripheral blood CD4+ T lymphocytes (Th1 and Th2 subsets) and platelets from cecal ligation and puncture-treated BALB/c mice using a negative selection technique. Specific Aim 2. Four mice will undergo whole blood sampling at each of 3 time points (t = 0, 24, and 48 hours). Time 0 represents the point of CLP. Specific Aim 3. The temporal series of 3 cell types pooled within each time point will be expression profiled (3 time points x 3 cell types x MOE430A array = 9 profiles) in order to generate a map of potential cell-cell interactions and a prioritization model for examining these further.
