Age-dependent immune responses and resident cell dynamics in young mice following pneumonia

ABSTRACT: A developmental murine model of pneumonia was used to investigate how lower respiratory tract E. coli infections differentially affects lung immune responses and cell behavior in young mice (neonates; PND5 and juveniles; PND12). Acutely, juveniles recover more quickly than neonates, but alveolar simplification occurred in both groups 6-8 weeks post-infection. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed transient inflammatory responses in neutrophils, macrophages, and fibroblasts at 48 h post infection in both age groups with a partial return to baseline by 96h. The highly proliferative neonatal alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells showed a modest decrease at 48h post infection, whereas the quiescent juvenile AT2 cells exhibited a proliferative response only post-infection. Neonatal PDGFRα+ fibroblasts had higher expression of inflammatory genes post infection than juveniles and in vitro stimulation of PDGFRα+ fibroblasts with LPS-exposed primary macrophages alone, induced expression of the inflammatory marker SAA3. We conclude that early-life pneumonia alters lung homeostasis in an age-differential manner, potentially affecting lung structure and function in adulthood.

DNA methyltransferase inhibition induces dynamic gene expression changes in lung CD4+ T cells of neonatal mice with E. coli pneumonia [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Bacterial pulmonary infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates, with less severity in older children (juveniles). Previous studies demonstrated that CD4+ T cells in the mouse lung, whose primary responsibility is coordinating the immune response foreign pathogens, are differentially methylated in neonates compared with juveniles. Nevertheless, the effect of this differential methylation on CD4+ T cell gene expression and response to infection remains unclear. We treated E. coli-infected neonatal (4-day-old) and juvenile (13-day-old) mice with decitabine (DAC), a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor with broad-spectrum DNA demethylating activity, and performed simultaneous genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptional profiling on lung CD4+ T cells. Juvenile and neonatal mice experienced differential demethylation in response to DAC treatment, with larger methylation differences observed in neonates. By cross-filtering differentially expressed genes between juveniles and neonates with those sites that were demethylated in neonates, we found that interferon-responsive genes such as Ifit1 are the most down-regulated methylation-sensitive genes in neonatal mice. DAC treatment shifted neonatal lung CD4+ T cells toward a gene expression program similar to that of juveniles. Following lung infection with E. coli, lung CD4+ T cells in neonatal mice exhibit epigenetic repression of important host defense pathways, which are activated by inhibition of DNA methyltransferase activity to resemble a more mature profile.

Insights into Early Recovery from Influenza Pneumonia by Spatial and Temporal Quantification of Putative Lung Regeneration Cells and buy Lung Proteomics

Project description:During influenza pneumonia, the alveolar epithelial cells of the lungs are targeted by influenza virus. The distal airway stem cells (DASCs) and proliferating alveolar type II (AT2) cells are reported to be putative lung repair cells. However, their relative spatial and temporal distribution is still unknown during influenza-induced acute lung injury. Here, we investigated the distribution of these cells, and concurrently performed global proteomic analysis of the infected lungs to elucidate and link the cellular and molecular events during influenza pneumonia recovery. BALB/c mice were infected with a sub-lethal dose of influenza H1N1 virus. From 5 to 25 days post-infection (dpi), mouse lungs were subjected to histopathologic and immunofluorescence analysis to probe for global distribution of lung repair cells (using P63 and KRT5 markers for DASCs; PCNA and SPC markers for AT2 cells). At 7 and 15 dpi, infected mouse lungs were also subjected to protein mass spectrometry for relative protein quantification. DASCs appeared only in the damaged area of the lung from 7 dpi onwards, reaching a peak at 21 dpi, and persisted at 25 dpi. However, no differentiation of DASCs to AT2 cells was observed by 25 dpi. In contrast, AT2 cells began proliferating from 7 dpi to replenish its population. Mass spectrometry and gene ontology analysis revealed prominent innate immune response at 7 dpi, which shifted towards adaptive immune responses by 15 dpi. Hence, proliferating AT2 cells but not DASCs contribute to AT2 cell regeneration following transition from innate to adaptive immune responses during the early phase of recovery from influenza pneumonia up to 25 dpi.

Lung transcriptional unresponsiveness and loss of early influenza virus control in infected neonates is prevented by intranasal Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG

Project description:Respiratory viral infections contribute substantially to global infant losses and disproportionately affect preterm neonates. Using our previously established neonatal murine model of influenza infection, we demonstrate that three-day old mice are exceptionally sensitive to influenza virus infection and exhibit high mortality and viral load. Intranasal pre- and post-treatment of neonatal mice with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), an immune modulator in respiratory viral infection of adult mice and human preterm neonates, considerably improves neonatal mice survival after influenza virus infection. We determine that both live and heat-killed intranasal LGG are equally efficacious in protection of neonates. Early in influenza infection, neonatal transcriptional responses in the lung are delayed compared to adults. These responses increase by 24 hours post-infection, demonstrating a delay in the kinetics of the neonatal anti-viral response. LGG pretreatment improves immune gene transcriptional responses during early infection and specifically upregulates type I IFN pathways.

Influenza virus-induced type I interferons disrupt alveolar epithelial repair and tight junction integrity in the developing lung

Project description:Type I interferons (IFN-I) are key innate immune mediators which control viral infection in adults. Recently, using a neonatal murine model of influenza A infection (IAV), we demonstrated that IAV-infected murine neonates lacking a functional IFN-I receptor (IFNAR-/-) have significantly improved survival and reduced lung pathology relative to wild-type (WT) neonates. However, the opposite is observed in adults, with IAV-infected IFNAR-/- adults exhibiting enhanced morbidity relative to WT adults, indicating an age-specific IFN-I toxicity in neonates. Therefore, we hypothesized that IAV-induced IFN-I signaling in primary neonatal type II alveolar epithelial cells (TIIECs), the main cell type of IAV infection and initiator of host response in the lung, contributed to age-specific viral pathogenesis. To investigate the role of IFN-I signaling in TIIECs, we performed RNA-Seq on purified TIIECs in a multifactorial design, comparing 1. IFNAR-/- and WT genotypes, 2. neonatal and adult ages, 3. IAV-infected and uninfected, 4. over a three-day time course.Analysis of purified TIIECs revealed age, not infection status, as the primary driver of transcriptional differences in TIIECs. Subsequent pathway analysis demonstrated IAV-infected IFNAR-/- neonates significantly upregulate cell proliferation, tissue repair and tight junction genes at 2-days post-infection (dpi), compared to WT neonates. Next, to determine if these growth and repair differences persisted later in infection, targeted analysis of repair gene expression and immunofluorescent quantification of pulmonary sealing tight junction molecules ZO-1 and occludin was performed at 6-dpi. Relative to WT neonates, IFNAR-/- neonates had significantly higher whole lung occludin staining and repair gene expression. Together, our data demonstrates IFN-I signaling is extremely pathogenic in the developing lung because by disrupting alveolar repair and pulmonary barrier integrity.

CEBPA restricts alveolar type 2 cell plasticity during development and injury-repair [1]

Project description:Cell plasticity theoretically extends to all possible cell types, but naturally decreases as cells differentiate, whereas injury-repair re-engages the developmental plasticity. Here we show that the lung alveolar type 2 (AT2)-specific transcription factor (TF), CEBPA, restricts AT2 cell plasticity in the mouse lung. AT2 cells undergo transcriptional and epigenetic maturation postnatally. Without CEBPA, both neonatal and mature AT2 cells reduce the AT2 program, but only the former reactivate the SOX9 progenitor program. Sendai virus infection bestows mature AT2 cells with neonatal plasticity where Cebpa mutant, but not wild type, AT2 cells express SOX9, as well as more readily proliferate and form KRT8/CLDN4+ transitional cells. CEBPA promotes the AT2 program by recruiting the lung lineage TF NKX2-1. The temporal change in CEBPA-dependent plasticity reflects AT2 cell developmental history. The ontogeny of AT2 cell plasticity and its transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms have implications in lung regeneration and cancer.

Mesenchymal stromal cells from neonatal tracheal aspirates demonstrate a pattern of gene expression consistent with a lung origin

Project description:Expression profiling of lung derived mesenchymal stromal cells to lung fibrblasts and cord blood derived mesenchymal stromal cells We have previously isolated mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from the tracheal aspirates of premature neonates with respiratory distress. While isolation of MSCs correlates with the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, the physiologic role of these cells remains unclear. To address this, we further characterized the cells, focusing on the issues of gene expression, origin and cytokine expression. Microarray comparison of early passage neonatal lung MSC gene expression to cord blood MSCs and human fetal and neonatal lung fibroblast lines demonstrated that the neonatal lung MSCs differentially expressed 971 gene probes compared to cord blood MSCs, including the transcription factors Tbx2, Tbx3, Wnt5a, FoxF1 and Gli2, each of which have been associated with lung development. Compared to lung fibroblasts, 710 gene probe transcripts were differentially expressed by the lung MSCs, including IL-6 and IL-8/CXCL8. Further, neonatal lung MSCs exhibited a pattern of Hox gene expression distinct from cord-blood MSCs but similar to human fetal lung fibroblasts, consistent with a lung origin. Together, these data suggest that MSCs isolated from neonatal tracheal aspirates originate in the lung and are distinct from lung fibroblasts.
