Project description:Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) limits the long term survival after lung transplantation. CLAD is diagnosed late on the decline in lung function, when any immuno-intervention is ineffective. Identification of early forerunners of CLAD is therefore essential to prevent the progression of the disease before irreversible damages to the allograft. We used large-scale gene expression profiling of whole blood cells to identify early biomarkers of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS), the main form of CLAD. Microarray experiments performed from 80 patients (40 stable (STA) and 40 BOS) identify 47 genes differentially expressed between STA and BOS recipients. An independent set of patients (13 STA, 11 BOS) was then used for external validation by qPCR. POU Class 2 Associating Factor 1 (POU2AF1), T-cell leukemia/lymphoma protein 1A (TCL1A) and B-cell lymphocyte kinase (BLK) genes were identified and validated as predictive markers of BOS more than 6 months before diagnosis with AUCs of 0.83, 0.77 and 0.78 respectively. These genes allow stratifying upon CLAD risk (log-rank test p<0.01) and could provide clinicians with new tools to improve follow-up and adapt treatment of patients likely to develop BOS.

Project description:Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is the leading cause of death in lung transplant recipients. CLAD is characterized clinically by a persistent decline in pulmonary function and histologically by the development of airway centered fibrosis known as bronchiolitis obliterans. We performed single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomic analysis of explanted tissues from human lung recipients with CLAD and donor control lungs.

Project description:Background: Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), the most common form of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), is the major limitation to long-term survival after lung transplantation. The patho-anatomical correlate is progressive, fibrotic occlusion of the small airways, so-called obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) –lesions, ultimately leading to organ failure. The molecular composition of these lesions is unknown. Methods: By combining laser-capture microdissection (LCM) and optimized sample preparation protocols for mass spectrometry (MS) we analyzed end-stage OB-lesions identified in explanted lungs from four end-stage BOS patients. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to follow selected proteins of interest on the tissue level. Results: We established protein signatures for in total 15 OB-lesions. A set of 12 proteins identified in all lesions included both distinct structural proteins (collagen type IV and VI) and cellular components (actins, vimentin, tryptase). Each respective lesion exhibited a unique composition of proteins (on average n=66), thereby mirroring the histomorphological variation of the lesions. Conclusions: Even though being distinct and focal pathologic events, OB-lesions showed considerable variations in their protein content, most likely reflecting different disease pathways. Combining spatial information and advanced protein identification, this study provides molecular and morphological insights essential for a better understanding of the development of chronic rejection after lung transplantation.

Project description:Background and objective: Long term outcomes of allograft recipients are compromised by the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) or bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) which initiates in the lung periphery. We established baseline transcriptomic profiles of both the large and small airway epithelial cells (referred as LAEC and SAEC, respectively) to identify regional differences irrespective of initiating disease. Methods: We obtained matched primary LAEC and SAEC from lung allograft recipients (n=4, 42.5±4.2 years) and established primary cultures. Bulk RNA sequencing was performed to determine differentially expressed genes. Results: We observed differences in the transcriptional program between LAEC and SAEC Transcription factors (TF) were ranked within the top ten differentially regulated genes. The most abundant TF families included C2H2-ZF, homeobox and bHLH. Upstream regulator analyses identified homeobox genes being significantly in LAEC. Protein-protein interaction network analysis emphasised the role of TFs (ISL1, MSX1, HOXA1, GATA6, ZNF423) in airway modulation. Additionally, functional enrichment analysis revealed the activation of chemotaxis, metalloendipeptidase/metallopeptidase activity and pro-inflammatory signatures (IL17 signalling and RAGE), in LAEC, while SAEC were characterised by elevated expression of surfactant metabolism related genes. Moreover, alveolar and club cells-related genes were expressed in SAEC, suggesting a lower airway-specific signature. Conclusion: Our analysis shows robust transcriptional differences between LAEC and SAEC. We suggest a potential role for homeobox TF family as well as the activation of the immune system in the biology of LAEC. Conversely, we observed an alveoli-like transcriptional signature in SAEC, including gas-exchange signals and surfactant metabolism; pathways involved in lung homeostasis.

Project description:To further understand the early molecular events in antibody mediated chronic inflammation of the lungs, we utilized a murine Obliterative Airway Disease (OAD) model of native lungs where Abs to MHC class I induces bronchiolar obliteration and fibrosis. This study identified a unique transcriptional profile with a set of genes that were stimulated while another set of genes that were repressed in anti MHC I treated lungs compared to that of isotype treated lungs. Lung transplantation (LTx) is an accepted clinical intervention for various intractable pulmonary dysfunctions. However, de novo Abs to mismatched donor HLA (DSA) predispose lung-grafts to chronic rejection, Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS). The anti-MHC induced mouse OAD model, the only available preclinical model for study of early pathogenesis following MHC ligation, produces lesions analogous to BOS.

Project description:Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have been proposed as a future cell based therapy for lung diseases like bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Theoretically, it might be beneficial to use lung resident MSC already adapted to the pulmonary environment. We therefore aimed to compare lung MSC with the well-characterized bone marrow MSC. Furthermore, MSC isolated from lung-transplanted patients with BOS were compared to MSC isolated from good outcome recipients. Methods: MSC were isolated from bone marrow (BM) and adult/fetal lung tissues and compared by a comprehensive panel of assays. Results:The gene expression profiles of adult lung derived and fetal lung derived MSC were very similar compared to BM derived MSC, with only 235 and 338 genes, respectively, being significantly differently expressed. Out of the 235 genes that were significantly different between adult lung derived and BM derived MSC, 90 genes were higher expressed in the lung derived MSC. In case of fetal lung derived MSC, 166 genes were higher expressed compared to the BM derived MSC. Interestingly, only, 89 genes were found to be expressed differently when comparing BM derived MSC to both, fetal and adult lung derived MSC, indicating that these genes are lung specific. Next, we went on to evaluate if MSC isolated from biopsies of lung-transplanted patients with BOS differed compared to patients without BOS, i.e. good outcome recipients. Here we found that four genes (Sox9, FAR2, LOC728855 and NDUFS5) were significantly higher expressed in MSC isolated from BOS patients Conclusions: This data demonstrates that lung resident MSC possess lung specific properties that should be taken into considerations when using MSC for cell-based therapy in severe lung disorders like BOS. These results also show that MSC isolated from lung-transplanted patients with BOS do not have an altered phenotype. Comparison of gene expression of MSC isolated from bone marrow, adult lung and fetal lung.

Project description:Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the main reason for poor outcomes after lung transplantation (LTx). We and others have recently identified B cells as major contributors to BOS after LTx. The extent of B cell heterogeneity and the relative contributions of B cell subpopulations to BOS, however, remain entirely unclear. Here, we provide a comprehensive analysis of cell population changes and their gene expression patterns during chronic rejection after orthotopic LTx in mice. Out of a total of 11 major cell types, Mzb1-expressing plasma cells (PCs) were the most prominently increased population in BOS lungs. These findings were validated in two different cohorts of human BOS after LTx. A Bhlhe41, Cxcr3, Itgb1-triple positive-B cell subset, also expressing classical markers of the innate-like B-1 B cell population, served as the progenitor pool for Mzb1+ PCs. This subset accounted for the increase in IgG2c production within BOS lung grafts. A genetic lack of immunoglobulins decreased BOS severity after LTx. In summary, we provide a detailed analysis of cell population changes during BOS. IgG-positive PCs and their progenitors – an innate B cell subpopulation – are the major source of local antibody production and a significant contributor to BOS after LTx.

Project description:Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) is the main limitation to long-term survival after lung transplantation. Although CLAD is usually not responsive to treatment, earlier identification may improve treatment prospects. In a nested case control study, 1-year post transplant surveillance bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples were obtained from incipient CLAD (n=9) and CLAD free (n=8) lung transplant recipients. Incipient CLAD cases were diagnosed with CLAD within 2 years, while controls were free from CLAD for at least 4 years following bronchoscopy. Transcription profiles in the BAL cell pellets were assayed with the HG-U133 Plus 2.0 microarray (Affymetrix). Differential gene expression analysis was performed to identify a candidate list of differentially expressed probe sets.
