Targeting branched-chain amino acids alleviates pulmonary fibrosis [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Previous studies demonstrated that BCAA metabolic reprogramming induces idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study investigates BCAA-mediated gene expression regulation in primary mouse lung fibroblasts (MLFs). Methods: In vitro: MLFs were cultured in three media conditions: complete medium (Complete), BCAA-free medium (Free), or BCAA-free medium supplemented with BCAAs (Free+BCAA) or BCKA (Free+BCKA) for 24 hours prior to TGF-β1 (20 ng/mL) stimulation for 48 hours. Triplicate RNA-seq analyses were conducted on treated MLFs. In vivo: Comparative RNA-seq profiling was performed on lung tissues from three experimental groups: PBS-treated controls, bleomycin (BLM)-exposed mice, and BLM-treated mice receiving BCAA supplementation (3 mmol/L in drinking water) or BCAA-free diets or BT2 treatment. Conclusions: BCAA metabolism is essential for myofibroblast activation and mechanistically promotes lung fibrogenesis in both in vitro and in vivo models.

Targeting branched-chain amino acids alleviates pulmonary fibrosis [CUT&Tag]

Project description:Purpose: We previously observed significant dysregulation in the expression of key BCAA metabolic genes during idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying BCAA metabolic genes dysregulation during IPF progression. Methods: ATF4 CUT&Tag were performed in MLFs and PPARγ CUT&Tag were performed in MLFs treated with TGF-β1 (20 ng/mL) for 48 h. Conclusions: ATF4 and PPARγ respectively regulate the expression of Slc7a5 and BCAA catabolic genes in primary mouse lung fibroblasts (MLFs)

Restoration of branched chain amino acid catabolism improves kidney function in preclinical cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome models

Project description:Patients with metabolic syndrome and heart failure (HF) often have accompanying kidney dysfunction, which was recently defined as cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. Prior metabolomics profiling of metabolic syndrome patients identified a plasma branched chain amino acid (BCAA) signature, and BCAAs are elevated in HF patient myocardium. The rate limiting step of BCAA catabolism is decarboxylation by branched chain ketoacid dehydrogenase enzyme (BCKDH), which is negatively regulated by BCKDH kinase (BCKDK or BDK), and BDK inhibitors improve metabolism and heart failure preclinically. Here we show that BCAA catabolic impairment is associated with and may be causal to CKM as treatment with the BDK inhibitor BT2 improved urine protein content, glomerular filtration rate, kidney hypertrophy, and kidney pathology in CKM models. Coadministration of BT2 and empagliflozin restored renal function and gene expression signatures and improved mitochondrial density and function, suggesting that BDK inhibition could represent a therapeutic avenue for CKM.

Transcriptome profiling of 95D cells in response to glucose or glutamine deprivation.

Project description:This experiment was designed to identify genes and long non-coding RNAs transcriptionally upregulated in response to metabolic stress. Human lung cancer cell line 95D was cultured in complete medium, glucose-free medium, or glutamine-free medium. Total RNA was then extracted for library preparation and sequencing to compare the transcriptomic profiles across these conditions. The data were used to identify robustly induced genes under nutrient stress.

Analysis of gene expression modulated by autophagy during bleomycin induced lung injury from mouse lung alveolar progenitor cells

Project description:Autophagy is a cellular catabolic process that supports metabolism in response to stress. To identify gene expression that are modulated by autophagy in AT2 cells during BLM-induced lung injury, RNA-seq profiling were carried out with AT2 cells from Atg5f/f mice treated with PBS (AT2-PBS), Nkx2.1Cre; Atg5f/f mice treated with PBS (Atg5−/− AT2-PBS), Atg5f/f mice treated with BLM (AT2-BLM), and Nkx2.1Cre; Atg5f/f mice treated with BLM (Atg5−/− AT2-BLM) at day 14. We found the glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathways were promoted, but that the synthesis of fatty acids was repressed in mouse AT2 cells during BLM injury. Autophagy may serve as a switch between these two metabolic pathways during lung injury. These data highlight an essential role for autophagy in reprogramming the metabolism of alveolar progenitor cells to meet energy needs for alveolar epithelial regeneration.

Loss of proximal tubular Kruppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) is protective against AKI and CKD

Project description:Altered cellular metabolism in kidney proximal tubule (PT) cells plays a critical role in the development and progression of acute kidney injury (AKI). The transcription factor Krüppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) is rapidly and robustly induced in the PT after AKI, suggesting an early-inducible injury response gene. PT-specific Klf6 knockdown (Klf6PTKO) are protected from AKI and resulting fibrosis in mice. Combined RNA-sequencing and ChIP-sequencing demonstrated preserved expression of genes encoding branched chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolic enzymes in Klf6PTKO mice, with several of the genes also having KLF6 binding sites close to their transcription start sites. Conversely, inducible KLF6 overexpression suppressed expression of BCAA genes and exacerbated kidney injury and fibrosis in mice. Injured kidney cells could not respond to the BCAA catabolic activator BT2, and injured cells overexpressing KLF6 were less able to utilize BCAA. Thus, targeting KLF6-mediated suppression of BCAA catabolism may serve as key therapeutic target in AKI and kidney fibrosis.

Investigation of differential microRNAs in the exosomes of alcohol-induced H9c2 myocardial cells

Project description:We use the illumina high-throughput sequencing technology to identify miRNAs between the exosomes of H9c2 cells with or without alcohol-induced.The H9c2 cells were cultured in serum-free medium and stimulated with ethanol (100 mmol/L) or PBS for 24 h, then collected the exosomes samples from serum-free medium. Exosomes were isolated and extracted by differential centrifugation and detected by electron microscopy, particle size and related marker proteins.In total, 123 differentially expressed miRNAs (12 upregulated and 111 downregulated) were screened by miRNA sequence.

Ex vivo lung-organoid model for aberrant basaloid cell induction and activation

Project description:Lung epithelial cell injury contributes to various lung diseases, impacting lung function and overall human health. Bleomycin (BLM)-induced murine models of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) are commonly utilized to study lung epithelial cell injury. However, the complex microenvironments in inflamed lungs hinder clear causal relationships between cell-to-cell, molecules interaction. To address this limitation, we aimed to establish an ex vivo organoid model of BLM-induced lung injury recapitulating the cellular and molecular responses of BLM-induced lung epithelial injury in vivo.
