Lysosomal Acidity and Cathepsin L Activate Eosinophils via ARG1-Mediated Arginine Metabolism in Allergic Airway Inflammation

ABSTRACT:

Eosinophils are the predominant immune cells implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma, highlighting the need for strategies to mitigate their effects. While previous studies have indicated a potential relationship between lysosomes and eosinophils, the precise role of lysosomes in eosinophil activation during asthma remains insufficiently understood. In this study, we demonstrated that lysosomal acidity and cathepsin L (CTSL) activity in eosinophils were elevated in asthmatic patients and mouse models. Genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of CTSL in eosinophils significantly attenuated allergic airway inflammation in vivo and suppressed eosinophil activation in vitro. CTSL in eosinophils promoted type 2 immune responses by upregulating arginase 1 (ARG1) expression and interacting with it, thereby enhancing ARG1 activity and altering arginine metabolism during eosinophil activation. This metabolic shift led to increased production of ornithine, which exacerbated inflammatory processes. Furthermore, lysosomal acidity and CTSL activity correlated with disease severity in asthmatic patients. Our findings reveal that lysosomal acidity and CTSL facilitate eosinophil activation through arginine metabolism, thereby promoting allergic airway inflammation.

Targeting mitochondrial reactive oxygen species alleviates allergic airway disease in a mouse model of obese allergic asthma

Project description:Obesity is associated with severe, difficult to control asthma, and increased airway oxidative stress. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) are an important source of oxidative stress leading us to hypothesize that targeting mROS in obese allergic asthma might be an effective treatment strategy. Using a mouse model of house dust mite (HDM) induced allergic airway disease in mice fed a low- (LFD) or high-fat diet (HFD), and the mitochondrial antioxidant MitoQuinone (MitoQ); we investigated the effects of obesity and mROS on airway inflammation, remodelling and airway hyperreactivity (AHR). HDM induces airway inflammation, remodelling and hyperreactivity in both lean and obese mice. Obese allergic mice showed increased lung tissue eotaxin levels, airway tissue eosinophilia and AHR when compared to lean allergic mice. MitoQ reduced markers of airway inflammation, remodelling and hyperreactivity in both lean and obese allergic mice, and tissue eosinophilia in obeseHDM mice. mROS regulates cell signalling by protein oxidation of multiple downstream targets: MitoQ reduced HDM-induced cysteine-sulfenylation of several proteins including those involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR). In summary, mROS mediates the development of allergic airway disease and hence MitoQ might be effective for the treatment for asthma, and specific features of obese asthma.

Urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) attenuates allergen-induced eosinophil migration and airway hyperresponsiveness through distinct mechanisms

Project description:Allergic asthma is a widespread disease of the airway stemming from the actions of multiple cell types, including eosinophils and epithelial cells. The urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is a membrane bound protein that can contribute to the activation and mobilization of leukocytes and is present at increased levels in asthmatics. However, its role in allergic asthma remains poorly understood. Here, we have used multiple mouse strains and different models of allergic asthma to study the function of uPAR in allergic airway inflammation (AHR). Plaur, the gene encoding uPAR, was rapidly induced following allergic sensitization through the airway, and again following subsequent allergen challenge. Plaur-deficient mice displayed both increased numbers of eosinophils and heightened AHR in multiple models of allergic asthma. Mice selectively lacking Plaur in eosinophils also had more robust eosinophilia than did WT mice, and eosinophils lacking Plaur displayed increased activity in an ex-vivo assay of chemokine-dependent migration. However, those mice did not have increased AHR compared with WT mice. Conversely, although mice selectively lacking Plaur in lung epithelial cells did not have increased inflammation compared with WT mice, they displayed heightened AHR. These findings suggest that uPAR controls both airway inflammation and AHR, but through distinct mechanisms. Targeting uPAR might have therapeutic potential for treating inflammation and AHR in asthma.

A regulatory CD9+ B cell subset controls HDM-induced allergic airway inflammation

Project description:Background: A specific subset of regulatory IL-10 producing B cells has been extensively studied in autoimmune and inflammatory pathologies. These cells are able to constrain exacerbated inflammation by inhibiting T cell mediated responses and maturation of antigen presenting cells. In allergic diseases, observations that increase of regulatory B cells is necessary for allergen tolerance suggest that development of allergic asthma would be associated with a defect in the regulatory B cells compartment. Objective: We sought to (i) characterize regulatory IL-10+ regulatory B cell subset in Balb/c mice by microarray and flow cytometry and (ii) investigate their regulatory capacity in vivo in a house dust mite model of allergic asthma. Results: We identified an IL-10 producing B cells subset able to control T cell proliferation in vitro in both control and asthmatic mice. This subset is decreased in allergic mice. IL-10+ Breg cells express high levels of CD9 and upregulate CD70 and CD73 after activation. Expression of CD9 allows identifying more than 50% of Bregs. Interestingly CD9+ B cells inhibit TH2-TH17 allergic airway inflammation in vivo after adoptive transfer in an IL-10 dependent manner. Conclusions: Herein, we demonstrate that induction of allergic asthma dampens the generation of Bregs contributing to exacerbated airway inflammation. We identified a distinct CD9+ Breg-cell population decreased in lung of HDM mice and able to control asthma and allergic airway inflammation by producing IL-10 after adoptive transfer. This study points B cells as an interesting therapeutic target in allergic asthma.

Mgl2+ cDC2s coordinate allergic airway type 2 but not type 17 inflammation against fungal spores

Project description:Fungal spores, abundant in the environment, are a major cause of asthma. But the precise host response that triggers fungal allergic airway inflammation remains unclear. We found that CD11c+ DCs and CD4+ T cells are essential for development of airway inflammation in mice when repeatedly exposed to inhaled spores. To delinate which DC subsets are mediating fungal allergic inflammation we undertook single cell RNAseq of DCs isolated from the lungs of mice exposed to fungal spores. This identified precise subsets altered upon spore exposure and following targeted removal identified distinct DC subsets (Mgl2+ cDC2s) that are essential for fungal allergic airway inflammation.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of the effects of PD-1 deficiency on sorted mouse pulmonary ILC2 Transcriptomes

Project description:Allergic asthma is a leading chronic disease associated with airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are a potent source of T-helper 2 cytokines that promote AHR and lung inflammation. In this study, we evaluated the protective role of PD-1 on the development of AHR by focusing on its capacity to regulate ILC2 activation. We find that PD-1 is highly inducible in pulmonary ILC2s and shapes their transcriptional activity, activation and metabolism. Our findings provide new insights regarding the mechanisms of ILC2 regulation, which could be used in innovative approaches for the treatment of allergic asthma.

Pathogenicity of a disease-associated human IL-4 receptor allele in experimental asthma

Project description:Polymorphisms in the interleukin-4 receptor ? chain (IL-4R?) have been linked to asthma incidence and severity, but a causal relationship has remained uncertain. In particular, a glutamine to arginine substitution at position 576 (Q576R) of IL-4R? has been associated with severe asthma, especially in African Americans. We show that mice carrying the Q576R polymorphism exhibited intense allergen-induced airway inflammation and remodeling. The Q576R polymorphism did not affect proximal signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 6 activation, but synergized with STAT6 in a gene target– and tissue-specific manner to mediate heightened expression of a subset of IL-4– and IL-13–responsive genes involved in allergic inflammation. Our findings indicate that the Q576R polymorphism directly promotes asthma in carrier populations by selectively augmenting IL-4R?–dependent signaling. Keywords: Cell population analysis To determine potential mechanisms underlying the trophic effects of the R576 allele on airway inflammation and remodeling, we first compared the gene expression profile in the lungs of doxycycline-treated B6.129Il4raR576/R576/IL-13tg mice versus B6.129Il4raR576/R576 littermates that lacked the IL-13tg (n = 11 and 5, respectively). We similarly compared the gene expression profile in the lungs of doxycycline-treated B6.Il4raQ576/Q576/IL-13tg mice versus tg-negative littermates (n = 8 and 5, respectively). Lastly, we directly compared the gene expression profiles in the doxycycline-treated B6.129Il4raR576/R576/IL-13tg versus B6.Il4raQ576/Q576/IL-13tg mice.
