In vivo hyperoxia versus normoxia neonatal rat lung MSCs

ABSTRACT: Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the most common complication of extreme preterm birth, can be caused by oxygen-related lung injury and is characterized by impaired alveolar and vascular development. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have lung protective effects. Conversely, BPD is associated with increased MSCs in tracheal aspirates. Objective: To determine whether endogenous lung (L-)MSCs are perturbed in a well-established oxygen-induced rat model mimicking BPD features. Methods: Rat pups were exposed to room air or 95% oxygen from birth to postnatal day 10. On day 12, CD146+ L-MSCs were isolated and characterized according to the International Society for Cellular Therapy criteria. Epithelial and vascular repair potential were tested by scratch assay and endothelial network formation respectively, immune function by mixed lymphocyte reaction assay. Microarray analysis was performed using the Affymetrix GeneChip and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) software. Results: CD146+ L-MSCs isolated from rat pups exposed to hyperoxia had decreased CD73 expression and inhibited lung endothelial network formation. CD146+ L-MSCs indiscriminately promoted epithelial wound healing and limited T-cell proliferation. Expression of potent anti-angiogenic genes of the axonal guidance cue and CDC42 pathways was increased after in vivo hyperoxia, whereas genes of the anti-inflammatory JAK/STAT and lung/vascular growth promoting Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) pathways were decreased. Conclusions: In vivo hyperoxia exposure alters the pro-angiogenic effects and FGF expression of L-MSCs. Additionally, decreased CD73 and JAK/STAT expression suggest decreased immune function. L-MSC function may be perturbed and contribute to BPD pathogenesis. These findings may lead to improvements in manufacturing exogenous MSCs with superior repair capabilities.

Project description:Myeloperoxidase (MPO), oxidative stress (OS), and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are all increased in the lungs of neonatal rat pups raised in hyperoxia (HOX, >90% O2), an established model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). However, the relationship between OS, MPO, and ER stress has not been examined in HOX rat pups. To determine the relationship between OS, MPO, and ER stress in BPD we treated Sprague-Dawley neonatal rat pups with Tunicamycin (Tun) or with HOX. Tun directly induces ER stress and simplifies neonatal lung alveolarization. Previously, we showed that HOX induces a cycle of destruction that we hypothesize through increased OS, MPO, and ER stress to induce BPD. To inhibit ER stress specifically, we used tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), a molecular chaperone. To break the cycle of destruction and reduce OS and MPO we used N-acetyl-lysyltyrosylcysteine-amide (KYC), a systems pharmacology agent. Lung structure was studied morphometrically. ER stress was detected using immunofluorescence (IF), transcriptomic, proteomic, and electron microscopic analyses. Increased ER stress was observed in the lungs of HOX rat pups and also in human BPD lungs by IF. Morphometric and proteomic studies of rat lungs showed that Tun treatment decreased lung complexity and increased ER stress and BPD severity. The fact that TUDCA improved lung complexity in Tun-treated neonatal rat pups, and decreased BPD induced by HOX provides strong support for the idea that ER stress plays a causal role in BPD. Additional support comes from data showing TUDCA decreased lung myeloid cells and MPO levels in the lungs of both Tun- and HOX-treated neonatal rat pups. These data link OS and MPO to ER stress in the mechanisms mediating BPD. KYC's effective inhibition of ER stress in the lungs of Tun-treated rat pups provides additional support for the idea that MPO-induced ER stress plays a direct causal role in BPD. Thus, ER stress appears to expand our proposed cycle of destruction. Our results suggest ER stress evolves from OS and MPO to increase neonatal lung injury and impaired neonatal lung growth and development. The encouraging effect of TUDCA indicates chemical chaperone has the potential in treating BPD. Using multiomic data to investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in the development of BPD in rat model.
