Project description:Mice representing phenotypic extremes of airway hyperreactivity and goblet cell metaplasia post-Sendai virus infection were identified from a 500 mouse F2 cohort (CB6F2/J). Whole lung RNA from 3 mice at each extreme was analyzed via microarray for gene expression. Subsequent pairwise comparisons between arrays allowed the identification of genes differentially expressed with respect to the disease phenotypes (airway hyperreactivity and goblet cell metaplasia).

Project description:Goblet cell metaplasia and mucus hypersecretion are disabling hallmarks of chronic lung diseases for which no curative treatments are available. Therapies targeting specific upstream drivers of asthma have had variable results. We hypothesized that an a priori-knowledge independent approach would point to new therapies for airway goblet cell metaplasia. We analyzed the transcriptome of an organotypic model of human goblet cell metaplasia. We combined our data with previously published datasets from IL13-exposed in vitro and asthmatic in vivo human airway epithelial cells. The drug perturbation-response connectivity approach identified the heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor geldanamycin as a candidate for reverting airway goblet cell metaplasia. We found that geldanamycin not only prevented but reverted IL13-induced goblet cell metaplasia. Geldanamycin did not induce goblet cell death, did not solely block mucin synthesis, and did not block IL13 receptor-proximal signaling. Moreover, the transcriptional effects of geldanamycin were absent in unstimulated cells and became evident only after stimulation with IL13. The predicted mechanism of action suggested that geldanamycin should also revert IL17-induced goblet cell metaplasia, a prediction confirmed by our data. Our findings suggest HSP90 activity may be required for persistence of goblet cell metaplasia driven by various mechanisms in chronic lung diseases.

Project description:High numbers of goblet cells in airways contribute to the mucus obstruction characteristic of asthmatic airways. Allergen challenged mice exhibit robust expression of goblet cells within airway surface epithelium. This study looks at the temporal analysis of IL-13 exposed murine airways to elucidate pathways that result in differentiation of airway epithelial cells to goblet cells.

Project description:Exaggerated airway constriction triggered by exposure to irritants such as allergen, also called hyperreactivity, is a hallmark of asthma and can be life-threatening. Aside from immune cells, vagal sensory neurons are important for airway hyperreactivity 1-4. However, the identity and signature of the downstream nodes of this adaptive circuit remains poorly understood. Here we show that Dbh+ neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (nTS) of the brainstem, and downstream neurons in the nucleus ambiguus (NA), are both necessary and sufficient for chronic allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity. We found that repeated exposures of mice to inhaled allergen activates nTS neurons in a mast cell-, interleukin 4 (IL-4)- and vagal nerve-dependent manner. Single-nucleus RNA-seq followed by RNAscope quantification of the nTS at baseline and following allergen challenges reveals that a Dbh+ population is preferentially activated. Ablation or chemogenetic inactivation of Dbh+ nTS neurons blunted, while chemogenetic activation promoted hyperreactivity. Viral tracing indicates that Dbh+ nTS neurons, capable of producing norepinephrine, project to the NA, and NA neurons are necessary and sufficient to relay allergen signals to postganglionic neurons that then directly drive airway constriction. Focusing on transmitters, delivery of norepinephrine antagonists to the NA blunted allergen-induced hyperreactivity. Together, these findings provide molecular, anatomical and functional definitions of key nodes of a canonical allergen response circuit. The knowledge opens the possibility of targeting neural modulation as an approach to control refractory allergen-induced airway constriction.

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States and is caused primarily by cigarette smoking. Increased numbers of mucus-producing secretory (“goblet”) cells defined as goblet cell metaplasia or hyperplasia (GCMH), contributes significantly to COPD pathophysiology. The objective of this study was to determine whether NOTCH signaling regulates goblet cell differentiation in response to cigarette smoke. To this end, primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) from nonsmokers and COPD smokers were differentiated in vitro on air-liquid interface and exposed to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) for 7 days. NOTCH signaling activity was modulated using (1) the NOTCH/γ-secretase inhibitor Dibenzazepine (DBZ), (2) lentiviral over-expression of the NOTCH3-intracellular domain (NICD3) or (3) NOTCH3-specific siRNA. Cell differentiation and response to CSE were evaluated by qPCR, Western blotting, immunostaining and RNA-Seq. Our data demonstrate that CSE exposure of nonsmoker airway epithelium induced goblet cell differentiation characteristic of GCMH. Treatment with DBZ suppressed CSE-dependent induction of goblet cell differentiation. Furthermore, CSE induced NOTCH3 activation, as revealed by increased NOTCH3 nuclear localization and elevated NICD3 protein levels. Over-expression of NICD3 increased expression of the goblet cell associated genes SPDEF and MUC5AC, whereas NOTCH3 knockdown suppressed CSE-mediated induction of SPDEF and MUC5AC. Finally, CSE exposure of COPD airway epithelium induced goblet cell differentiation in a NOTCH3-dependent manner. These results identify NOTCH3 activation as one of the important mechanisms by which cigarette smoke induces goblet cell differentiation, thus providing a potential strategy to control GCMH-related pathologies in smokers and patients with COPD.

Project description:The requirement of goblet cells (intestinal metaplasia; IM) to define BarrettM-bM-^@M-^Ys esophagus (BE) remains controversial as some studies have shown that the risk of progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is similar for non-goblet cell metaplasia (NGM) and IM. IM harbors genomic aberrations in known cancer-associated genes and these have been linked to increased EAC risk. No detailed studies have explored DNA alterations in NGM. We hypothesized that a comparison of DNA alterations in cancer-associated genes in IM and NGM samples would provide insight into their relative risks for progression to EAC. Patient biopsies were analyzed using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays, FISH, and targeted resequencing of 20 frequently mutated EAC genes. Frequent CNAM-bM-^@M-^Ys targeting cancer-associated genes were found in IM whereas no such changes were observed in NGM. In one subject, FISH confirmed loss of CDKN2A and amplification of chromosome 8 in IM but not in a nearby NGM biopsy. Targeted sequencing in a subset of metaplasia tissues revealed 11 non-synonymous mutations in 16 IM samples and 2 mutations in 19 NGM samples. Our results show that IM has a much higher frequency of cancer-associated mutations than NGM and is therefore likely to pose a higher risk for development of EAC. 57 non-goblet metaplasia, intestinal metaplasias, and composite specimens from 45 subjects were studied. DNA copy number abnormalities (CNAM-bM-^@M-^Ys) were identified using Affymetrix arrays and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Data was processed in Nexus 6.0 (BioDiscovery, CA). Targeted sequencing of all exons from twenty genes found to be frequently mutated in EAC was performed on metaplasia samples using Ion AmpliSeqM-bM-^DM-" DNA sequencing.
