Iron Drives Eosinophil Differentiation in Allergic Airway Inflammation through Mitochondrial Metabolic Adaptation

ABSTRACT: Understanding the metabolic mechanisms driving eosinophil differentiation in allergic airway inflammation is imperative for developing effective asthma therapies. Despite iron's well-established involvement in various cellular processes, its role in eosinophil differentiation remains elusive. This study observed elevated intracellular iron levels during eosinophil differentiation in the context of allergic airway inflammation. Through experiments involving iron-related compounds and specific diets, we demonstrated iron's indispensable role in promoting eosinophil differentiation, both in vitro and in vivo. Remarkably, an iron chelator effectively suppressed eosinophil differentiation and alleviated allergic airway inflammation. Mechanistically, iron maintains mitochondrial metabolic activities, mTORC1 signaling, and the expression of transcription factors that enforce eosinophil differentiation. Notably, iron influx rewires specific metabolic shifts in Krebs cycle, with succinate promoting eosinophil differentiation. Overall, this study highlights the significance of understanding the regulatory role of iron and underlying metabolic mechanisms in eosinophil differentiation, providing potential metabolic intervention strategies for asthma treatment.

Upper airway gene expression is an effective surrogate biomarker for Th2-driven inflammation in the lower airway

Project description:Molecular profiling studies in asthma cohorts have identified a Th2-driven asthma subtype, characterized by elevated lower airway expression of POSTN, CLCA1 and SERPINB2. To assess upper airway gene expression as a potential biomarker for lower airway Th2 inflammation, we assayed upper airway (nasal) and lower airway (bronchial) epithelial gene expression, serum total IgE, blood eosinophils and serum periostin in a cohort of 54 allergic asthmatics and 30 matched healthy controls. 23 of 51 asthmatics in our cohort were classified as âTh2 highâ based on lower airway Th2 gene signature expression. Consistent with this classification, âTh2 highâ subjects displayed elevated total IgE and blood eosinophil levels relative to âTh2 lowâ subjects. Upper airway Th2 signature expression was significantly correlated with lower airway Th2 signature expression (r=0.44), with similar strength of association as serum total IgE and blood eosinophils, known biomarkers of Th2 inflammation. In an unbiased genome-wide scan, we identified 8 upper airway genes more strongly correlated with lower airway Th2 gene signature expression (r=0.58), including Eotaxin-3 (CCL26), Galectin-10 (CLC) and Cathepsin-C (CTSC). Asthmatics classified as âTh2 highâ using this 8-gene signature show similar serum total IgE and blood eosinophil levels as âTh2 highâ asthmatics classified using lower airway Th2 gene signature expression. We have identified an 8-gene upper airway signature correlated with lower airway Th2 inflammation, which may be used as a diagnostic biomarker for Th2-driven asthma. Upper airway (nasal) and lower airway (bronchial) epithelial brushings obtained from a cohort of 54 allergic asthmatics and 30 matched healthy controls were profiled by gene expression by microarray. Subjects were assayed for gene expression, serum total IgE, blood eosinophils and serum periostin.

Targeting mitochondrial reactive oxygen species alleviates allergic airway disease in a mouse model of obese allergic asthma

Project description:Obesity is associated with severe, difficult to control asthma, and increased airway oxidative stress. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) are an important source of oxidative stress leading us to hypothesize that targeting mROS in obese allergic asthma might be an effective treatment strategy. Using a mouse model of house dust mite (HDM) induced allergic airway disease in mice fed a low- (LFD) or high-fat diet (HFD), and the mitochondrial antioxidant MitoQuinone (MitoQ); we investigated the effects of obesity and mROS on airway inflammation, remodelling and airway hyperreactivity (AHR). HDM induces airway inflammation, remodelling and hyperreactivity in both lean and obese mice. Obese allergic mice showed increased lung tissue eotaxin levels, airway tissue eosinophilia and AHR when compared to lean allergic mice. MitoQ reduced markers of airway inflammation, remodelling and hyperreactivity in both lean and obese allergic mice, and tissue eosinophilia in obeseHDM mice. mROS regulates cell signalling by protein oxidation of multiple downstream targets: MitoQ reduced HDM-induced cysteine-sulfenylation of several proteins including those involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR). In summary, mROS mediates the development of allergic airway disease and hence MitoQ might be effective for the treatment for asthma, and specific features of obese asthma.

Overexpression of Dimethylarginine Dimethylaminohydrolase 1 Attenuates Airway Inflammation in Mouse Models of Asthma

Project description:Levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, are increased in lung, sputum, exhaled breath condensate and plasma samples from asthma patients. ADMA is metabolized primarily by dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) and DDAH2. We determined the effect of DDAH1 overexpression on development of allergic inflammation in mouse models of asthma. Wild type and DDAH1-transgenic mice were challenged with PBS or house dust mite (HDM). Airway inflammation was assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) total and differential cell counts. Gene expression in lungs was determined by RNA-Seq and RT-quantitative PCR (qPCR). The expression of DDAH1 and DDAH2 was decreased in the lungs of mice following HDM exposure. Transgenic overexpression of DDAH1 resulted in decreased BAL total cell and eosinophil numbers following HDM exposure. Total IgE levels in serum and BAL fluid were decreased in HDM-exposed DDAH1-transgenic mice compared to HDM-exposed wild type mice. RNA-Seq results showed downregulation of genes in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) signaling pathway in PBS-treated DDAH1 transgenic mice versus PBS-treated wild type mice and downregulation of genes in IL-13/FOXA2 signaling pathway in HDM-treated DDAH1 transgenic mice versus HDM-treated wild type mice. Our findings suggest that decreased expression of DDAH1 in airway epithelial cells may contribute to allergic asthma and overexpression of DDAH1 attenuates allergen-induced airway inflammation through modulation of Th2 responses. mRNA profiles of WT and DDAH1-transgenic mice treated with PBS or house dust mite (HDM).

Consistent with this classification, ‘Th2 high’ subjects displayed elevated total IgE and blood eosinophil levels relative to ‘Th2 low’ subjects. Upper airway Th2 signature expression was significantly correlated with lower airway Th2 signature expression (r=0.44), with similar strength of association as serum total IgE and blood eosinophils, known biomarkers of Th2 inflammation. In an unbiased genome-wide scan, we identified 8 upper airway genes more strongly correlated with lower airway Th2 gene signature expression (r=0.58), including Eotaxin-3 (CCL26), Galectin-10 (CLC) and Cathepsin-C (CTSC).

Mgl2+ cDC2s coordinate allergic airway type 2 but not type 17 inflammation against fungal spores

Project description:Fungal spores, abundant in the environment, are a major cause of asthma. But the precise host response that triggers fungal allergic airway inflammation remains unclear. We found that CD11c+ DCs and CD4+ T cells are essential for development of airway inflammation in mice when repeatedly exposed to inhaled spores. To delinate which DC subsets are mediating fungal allergic inflammation we undertook single cell RNAseq of DCs isolated from the lungs of mice exposed to fungal spores. This identified precise subsets altered upon spore exposure and following targeted removal identified distinct DC subsets (Mgl2+ cDC2s) that are essential for fungal allergic airway inflammation.

A regulatory CD9+ B cell subset controls HDM-induced allergic airway inflammation

Project description:Background: A specific subset of regulatory IL-10 producing B cells has been extensively studied in autoimmune and inflammatory pathologies. These cells are able to constrain exacerbated inflammation by inhibiting T cell mediated responses and maturation of antigen presenting cells. In allergic diseases, observations that increase of regulatory B cells is necessary for allergen tolerance suggest that development of allergic asthma would be associated with a defect in the regulatory B cells compartment. Objective: We sought to (i) characterize regulatory IL-10+ regulatory B cell subset in Balb/c mice by microarray and flow cytometry and (ii) investigate their regulatory capacity in vivo in a house dust mite model of allergic asthma. Results: We identified an IL-10 producing B cells subset able to control T cell proliferation in vitro in both control and asthmatic mice. This subset is decreased in allergic mice. IL-10+ Breg cells express high levels of CD9 and upregulate CD70 and CD73 after activation. Expression of CD9 allows identifying more than 50% of Bregs. Interestingly CD9+ B cells inhibit TH2-TH17 allergic airway inflammation in vivo after adoptive transfer in an IL-10 dependent manner. Conclusions: Herein, we demonstrate that induction of allergic asthma dampens the generation of Bregs contributing to exacerbated airway inflammation. We identified a distinct CD9+ Breg-cell population decreased in lung of HDM mice and able to control asthma and allergic airway inflammation by producing IL-10 after adoptive transfer. This study points B cells as an interesting therapeutic target in allergic asthma. IL-10+ B cells (n=3) and 3 IL-10- B cells (n=3) in control mice + IL-10+ B cells (n=3) and 3 IL-10- B cells (n=3) from asthmatic allergic (HDM) mice

DJ-1 governs airway progenitor cell/eosinophil interactions to promote allergic inflammation

Project description:Background DJ-1 is an antioxidant protein known to regulate mast cell mediated allergic response, but its role in airway eosinophilic interactions and allergic inflammation is not known. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the role of DJ-1 in airway eosinophilic inflammation in vitro and in vivo. Methods Ovalbumin-induced airway allergic inflammation was established in mice. ELISA was adopted to analyze DJ-1 and cytokine levels in mouse bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Transcriptional profiling of mouse lung tissues was conducted by single-cell RNA sequencing technology. The role of DJ-1 in the differentiation of airway progenitor cells into goblet cells was examined by organoid cultures, immunofluorescence staining, quantitative PCR, and cell transplantation in normal, DJ-1 knockout (KO), or conditional DJ-1 KO mice. Results We observed that DJ-1 was increased in the lung tissues of ovalbumin-sensitized and challenged mice. DJ-1 KO mice exhibited reduced airway eosinophil infiltration and goblet cell differentiation. Mechanistically, we discovered that eosinophil-club cell interactions are reduced in the absence of DJ-1. Organoid cultures indicated that eosinophils impair the proliferative potential of club cells. Intratracheal transplantation of DJ-1-deficient eosinophils suppresses airway goblet cell differentiation. Loss of DJ-1 inhibits the metabolism of arachidonic acid into cysteinyl leukotrienes in eosinophils while these secreted metabolites promote airway goblet cell fate in organoid cultures and in vivo. Conclusion DJ-1-mediated interactions between airway epithelial progenitor cells and immune cells are essential in controlling airway goblet cell metaplasia and eosinophilia. Blockade of the DJ-1 pathway is protective against airway allergic inflammation.

Iron controls the development of airway hyperreactivity by regulating ILC2 metabolism and effector function

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) rapidly induce a type 2 inflammation in the lungs in response to allergens. Here, we focused on the role of iron – a critical nutritional trace element – on ILC2 function and asthma pathogenesis. In the lungs, transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) is rapidly upregulated and functional during ILC2 activation, while blocking transferrin uptake reduces ILC2 expansion and activation. Iron deprivation reprograms ILC2 metabolism, inducing a HIF-1a-driven upregulation of glycolysis and inhibition of oxidative mitochondrial activity. Consequently, in vivo iron chelation or induction of hypoferremia notably reduces the development of airway hyperreactivity in experimental models of ILC2-driven allergic asthma. Human circulating ILC2s rapidly induce TfR1 during activation, while iron deprivation reduces effector functions. Finally, we found a negative relation between circulating ILC2 TfR1 expression and airway function in cohorts of patients with asthma. Collectively, our studies define cellular iron as a critical regulator of ILC2 function.

Transcriptional analysis of TREM-1+ and TREM-1- airway eosinophils during allergic inflammation

Project description:Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1) an innate receptor that canonically amplifies inflammatory signaling in neutrophils and monocytes, plays a central role in regulating lung inflammation. Utilizing a murine model of asthma, flow cytometry revealed TREM-1+ eosinophils in the lung tissue and airway during allergic airway inflammation. TREM-1 expression was restricted to recruited, inflammatory eosinophils. Expression was induced on bone marrow derived eosinophils by incubation with IL-33, LPS, or GM-CSF. Compared to TREM-1- airway eosinophils, TREM-1+ eosinophils were enriched for pro-inflammatory gene sets including migration, respiratory burst, and cytokine production. Unexpectedly, eosinophil-specific ablation of TREM-1 increased airway IL-5 and lung tissue eosinophil accumulation. Further investigation of transcriptional data revealed apoptosis related gene sets were enriched in TREM-1+ eosinophils. Annexin V staining demonstrated higher rates of apoptosis among TREM-1+ eosinophils compared to TREM-1- eosinophils in the inflammatory airway. In vitro, Trem1/3-/- eosinophils were protected from apoptosis. Finally, inhibition of reactive oxygen species production with diphenyleneiodonium protected WT bone marrow derived eosinophils from apoptosis more than Trem1/3-/- eosinophils, suggesting that superoxide accounted for more apoptosis in WT cells. These data demonstrate protein level expression of TREM-1 by eosinophils for the first time, define a population of TREM-1+ inflammatory eosinophils, and reveal that eosinophil TREM-1 restricts key features of type 2 lung inflammation.
