Mepenzolate bromide displays beneficial effects in a mouse model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

ABSTRACT: For the clinical treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it is important not only to improve the airflow limitation by bronchodilation but also to suppress emphysema by controlling inflammation. In this study, we have screened for compounds that prevent elastase-induced airspace enlargement in mice from medicines already used clinically. Mepenzolate bromide, a muscarinic antagonist used to treat gastrointestinal disorders was selected. Intratracheal administration or inhalation of mepenzolate bromide decreased the severity of elastase-induced airspace enlargement, alteration of lung mechanics and respiratory dysfunction. While mepenzolate bromide showed bronchodilatory activity, most of other muscarinic antagonists tested did not improve the elastase-induced pulmonary disorders. Mepenzolate bromide suppressed elastase-induced pulmonary inflammatory responses and production of superoxide anions, and reduced the level of cigarette smoke-induced airspace enlargement and alteration of lung mechanics. Based on these results, we propose that this drug is therapeutically effective for COPD as a consequence of both its anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory activities.

Based on these results, we propose that this drug is therapeutically effective for COPD as a consequence of both its anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory activities. In order to understand the mechanism governing mepenzolate-dependent decrease in inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, we performed DNA microarray analysis at the lung of mepenzolate-administered (or control) mice. We then analyzed gene sets that were differently expressed at 25 hours after administration of mepenzolate using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).

Reversal of emphysema by restoration of pulmonary endothelial cells

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogenous disorder marked by small airway inflammation and distal airspace enlargement (emphysema) leading to progressive airflow obstruction and eventual respiratory failure. Current therapies are limited in their ability to halt the pathogenesis of COPD merely relieving symptoms of dyspnea and airflow limitation. Microvasculature dysfunction, an understudied area of investigation, is associated with the severity of COPD. However, it is not known if abnormal lung endothelium drives COPD pathology and/or if correcting endothelial dysfunction has therapeutic potential. Here, we show the centrality of specialized pulmonary endothelial cells to lung pathogenesis in an elastase-induced murine model of COPD. Airspace disease was marked by aberrant endothelial cell loss and dysfunction, which was rescued by intravenous delivery of healthy lung endothelial cells. Airspace injury triggered regulation of a distinct module of maladaptive endothelial transcripts comprising lost endothelial cell function. Endothelial leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein-1 (LRG1) was identified as a key driver of the emphysematous pathology and selective deletion of Lrg1 from endothelial cells rescued elastase-induced defects of pulmonary parenchymal destruction. Hence, targeting lung endothelial cell biology through regenerative methods and/or inhibition of the LRG1 pathway may represent novel therapeutic strategies of immense potential for the treatment of emphysema.

Haploinsufficiency of Hedgehog interacting protein causes increased emphysema induced by cigarette smoke through network rewiring

Project description:BACKGROUND: The HHIP gene, encoding Hedgehog interacting protein, has been implicated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and our subsequent studies identified a functional upstream genetic variant that decreased HHIP transcription. However, little is known about how HHIP contributes to COPD pathogenesis. METHODS: Here, we exposed Hhip haploinsufficient mice (Hhip+/-) to cigarette smoke (CS) for 6 months to model the biological consequences caused by CS in human COPD risk-allele carriers at the HHIP locus. Gene expression profiling in murine lungs was performed followed by an integrative network inference analysis, PANDA (Passing Attributes between Networks for Data Assimilation) analysis. RESULTS: We detected more severe airspace enlargement in Hhip+/- mice vs. wild-type littermates (Hhip+/+) exposed to CS. Gene expression profiling in murine lungs suggested enhanced lymphocyte activation pathways in CS-exposed Hhip+/- vs. Hhip+/+ mice, which was supported by increased numbers of lymphoid aggregates and enhanced activation of CD8+ T cells after CS-exposure in the lungs of Hhip+/- mice compared to Hhip+/+ mice. Mechanistically, results from PANDA network analysis suggested a rewired and dampened Klf4 signaling network in Hhip+/- mice after CS exposure. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, HHIP haploinsufficiency exaggerated CS-induced airspace enlargement, which models CS-induced emphysema in human smokers carrying COPD risk alleles at the HHIP locus. Network modeling suggested rewired lymphocyte activation signaling circuits in the HHIP haploinsufficiency state. Total RNA was obtained from the lung tissue of C57BL/6J mice exposed to cigarette smoke (CS) or filtered air (air) for 6 months. Six mice from each of four groups with different genotypes (Hhip+/+ or Hhip+/-) and treatments (air or CS) were randomly chosen for gene expression profiling

COPD lungs show an attached stratified mucus layer resembling the protective colonic mucus

Project description:Mucus accumulation is a key feature of respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is associated with goblet cell metaplasia and mucin overexpression, which can be induced by the increased activity of neutrophil elastase. The aim of the study was to characterization of mucus and epithelial cell proteomics in a porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) mouse model of COPD/CF. The major proteins detected in mucus plugs obtained from PPE-treated mice included mucins Muc5ac and Muc5b, mucus-related proteins Clca1, Fcgbp, and Bpifb1. These proteins were upregulated in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and epithelial cells in mice exposed to elastase. Similar changes were found in BAL fluid of COPD patients.

Eosinophils promote lung emphysema via CTSL

Project description:Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) having higher blood eosinophil levels exhibit worse lung function and more severe emphysema, implying the potential role of eosinophils in emphysema development. However, the specific mechanism underlying eosinophil-mediated emphysema development is not fully elucidated. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing was used to identify eosinophil subgroups in mouse models of asthma and emphysema and analyze their functions. Analysis of the accumulated eosinophils revealed differential transcriptomes between the mouse lungs of elastase-induced emphysema and ovalbumin-induced asthma., Eosinophil depletion alleviated elastase-induced emphysema. Notably, eosinophil-derived cathepsin L (CTSL) degraded the extracellular matrix (ECM), causing emphysema in the pulmonary tissue. Eosinophils were positively correlated with serum CTSL levels, which were increased in patients with emphysema than in those without emphysema. Collectively, these results suggest that CTSL expression in eosinophils plays an important role in ECM degradation and remodeling and is related to emphysema in patients with COPD. Therefore, eosinophil-derived CTSL may serve as a potential therapeutic target for patients with emphysema.

Pathophysiological features of disease in a large animal model of COPD

Project description:Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious chronic disease of the airways that affects many people worldwide and have limited treatment options. While small animal models provide a platform for therapeutic investigations into COPD, their deficiencies continue to impede clinical translation. Alternatively, as a large animal model, sheep have a respiratory system anatomically and physiologically similar to that of humans, encouraging their use in airway disease research. The aim of this study was to better understand disease pathology in a large animal (sheep) experimental model of COPD. Methods: COPD was induced in sheep following lung exposure to porcine elastase (PE) and repeated weekly lung exposures to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) over a period of 8 weeks. Bronchoalveolar fluid and blood samples were collected for immune analyses. Lung function was assessed and lung tissues were collected for histopathology and RNA sequencing. Results: Lung neutrophil levels were elevated in response to repeated airway exposure to PE/LPS, accompanied by a significant decline in ventilation over time. Histological evidence of COPD-like disease changes included chronic inflammation with increased airway and tissue inflammation scores, together with significantly larger airway wall area measures, increased connective tissue deposition and dysregulated gene expression. Conclusions: These studies demonstrate sustained chronic airway inflammation and pathophysiological lung changes in a sheep model of COPD, providing many similarities to that seen in COPD patients. This work opens a pathway for future translational studies using this unique large animal model of COPD, which will serve to bridge the gap between smaller animal models and humans.

Irp2 mediates cigarette smoke-induced bronchitis and emphysema via regulation of cytochrome c oxidase and mitochondrial iron loading

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the fourth leading cause of death globally, is influenced by both cigarette smoking and genetic determinants. We have previously identified iron-responsive element binding protein 2 (IRP2) as a candidate COPD susceptibility gene based on genetic association studies, with IRP2 increased in the lungs of COPD patients. Here we demonstrate that mice deficient in IRP2 are protected from cigarette smoke (CS)-induced COPD. Using RIP-Seq, RNA-Seq, gene expression and pathway analysis, we identify IRP2 as a regulator of mitochondrial function in the lung. We show that an increase in IRP2 results in a cytochrome c oxidase (COX)-dependent alteration in oxidative capacity and mitochondrial-iron dysfunction involving frataxin. We demonstrate that mice with impaired COX or frataxin activity have altered responses to CS and show that overexpressing IRP2 in vivo alters mitochondrial dynamics. These data suggest a critical role of the mitochondria-iron axis in mediating the pathogenesis of COPD.
