Project description:Continued emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern that are capable of escaping vaccine-induced immunity pose the urgency for developing new COVID-19 therapeutics. An essential mechanism for SARS-CoV-2 infection begins with the viral spike protein binding to the human ACE2. Consequently, inhibiting this interaction is a highly promising therapeutic strategy against COVID-19. Herein, we demonstrate that ACE2-expressing human lung spheroid cells (LSC)-derived exosomes (LSC-Exo) could function as a prophylactic agent to bind and neutralize SARS-CoV-2 and protect the host against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Inhalation of LSC-Exo facilitates their deposition and biodistribution throughout the whole lung in a female mouse model. We show that LSC-Exo blocks the interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with host cells in vitro and in vivo by neutralizing the virus. LSC-Exo treatment protected hamsters from SARS-CoV-2-induced disease and reduced viral loads. Furthermore, LSC-Exo intercept the entry of multiple SARS-CoV-2 variant pseudoviruses in female mice and show comparable or equal potency against the wild-type strain, demonstrating that LSC-Exo may act as broad-spectrum protectant against existing and emerging virus variants.

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal form of interstitial lung disease in which persistent injury results in scar tissue formation. As fibrosis thickens, the lung tissue becomes stiff and losses the ability to facilitate gas exchange and provide cells with needed oxygen. Currently, IPF has few treatment options and no effective therapies, aside from lung transplant. Here we present a series of studies utilizing lung spheroid cell-derived conditioned media (LSC-CM) and exosomes (LSC-EXO) to treat different rodent models of lung injury and fibrosis. Inhalation treatment was given for seven consecutive days via a nebulizer for clinical relevance. Results revealed that LSC-CM and LSC-EXO treatments could attenuate and resolve bleomycin- and silica-induced fibrosis by reestablishing normal alveolar structure, decreasing collagen accumulation, and myofibroblast proliferation. In addition, LSC-CM and LSC-EXOs exhibited superior therapeutic benefits than their counterparts derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. LSC-CM and LSC-EXOs provide promising therapeutic options for pulmonary fibrosis.

Project description:The knowledge of the host response to the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is still limited, slowing the understanding of COVID-19 pathogenesis and the development of therapeutic strategies. During the course of a viral infection, host cells release exosomes and other extracellular vesicles carrying viral and host components, which can modulate the immune response. The present study used a shotgun proteomic approach to mapping the host circulating exosomes response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. We investigated how SARS-CoV-2 modulates extracellular vesicles content, their involvement in disease progression and the potential use of plasma exosomes as biomarkers of disease severity. Proteomic analysis of patients derived exosomes identified several molecules involved in immune response, inflammation, activation of coagulation and complement pathways, the main mechanisms of COVID-19-associated tissue damage and multiple organ dysfunctions. In addition, several potential exosomal biomarkers such as C-reactive protein, Fibrinogen gamma chain, C4b-binding protein alpha chain and Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1, presenting an area under the curve (AUC) of 1, were identified. Proteins correlated to the severity of the disease were also detected. These data indicate the existence of a significant contribution of circulating exosomes to inflammation, coagulation, and immunomodulation during SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Project description:Background: Type I interferons (IFNs) are essential to the clearance of viral diseases, in part by initiating upregulation of IFN regulated genes (IRGs). A clear distinction between genes upregulated directly by virus and genes upregulated by secondary IFN production has not been made. Here we investigated the genes regulated by IFN-a2b compared to the genes regulated by SARS-CoV infection in ferrets. Methods: We characterized early host immune responses in peripheral blood and lung necropsies of ferrets injected with IFN-a2b or infected with SARS-CoV/Tor 2 strain, using microarray analysis on the Affymetrix platform. Results: We identified a common IRG signature that was upregulated in both SARS-CoV infected ferrets as well as in ferrets injected with IFN-a2b. We also identified unique patterns of gene expression for leukocyte activation, cell adhesion and complement pathways between IFN-a2b injection and SARS-CoV infection. Conclusions: Our results define the effects of IFN-a2b on the immune system of ferrets highlighting genes regulated by IFN during SARS-CoV infection. We have shown the similarities and differences of top funcional gene groups as well as pathways that play key roles in early immune responses in ferrets in response to IFN-a2b or SARS-CoV. Key words: ferret, gene expression, SARS, interferon. Keywords: time course In experiments with IFN-a2b, for peripheral blood, 15 ferrets were randomly allocated to 3 groups: Day 0, 5 ferrets (no IFN injection), day 1, 6 ferrets (injected), and day 2, 4 ferrets (injected). For lung necropsies of injected ferrets with IFN-a2b, we used 12 ferrets in 3 groups: 4 ferrets, day 0 (no IFN injection), 4 ferrets, day 1 (injected) and 4 ferrets, day 2 (injected). Experimental groups for SARS-CoV infection was as follows: For peripheral blood, 3 and 4 ferrets for day 0 (no infection) and day 2 (infection) respectively. For lung neceropsies, a total of 9 ferrets in 3 groups, each with 3 replicates for day 0 (no infection), day 1 (infection) and day 2 (infection).

Project description:Exosomes derived from endothelial cells and Schwann cells have been employed as novel treatments of neurological diseases, including peripheral neuropathy. Exosomal cargo plays a critical role in mediating recipient cell function. In this study, we thus performed a comprehensive proteomic analysis of exosomes derived from healthy mouse dermal microvascular endothelial cells (EC-Exo) and healthy mouse Schwann cells (SC-Exo). We detected 1,817and 1,579 proteins in EC-Exo and SC-Exo, respectively. Among them, 1506 proteins were present in both EC-Exo and SC-Exo, while 311 and 73 proteins were detected only in EC-Exo and SC-Exo, respectively. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that EC-Exo enriched proteins were involved in the neurovascular function, while SC-Exo enriched proteins were related to lipid metabolism. Western blot analysis of 14 enriched proteins revealed that EC-Exo contained proteins involved in mediating endothelial function such as delta-like 4 (DLL4) and endothelial NOS (NOS3), whereas SC-Exo had proteins involved in mediating glial function such as apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1) and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP). Collectively, the present study indicates cargo protein profiles are distinct between EC-Exo and SC-Exo, suggesting potential roles of EC-Exo and SC-Exo mainly in mediating neurovascular and myelin functions, respectively.

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection causes an immune-mediated disease. We have recently shown that SARS-CoV-induced epithelial Calu-3 cytokines could exacerbate and dampen host inflammatory and T cell responses, respectively, through modulating the functions of macrophages and dendritic cells, thereby suggesting that not only are lung epithelial cells the primary cells of SARS-CoV infection, but they also involve in initiating and orchestrating the host innate and adaptive immunity. Comprehensive evaluation of the complex epithelial signaling to SARS-CoV is, thus, crucial for paving the way to better understand SARS pathogenesis and develop the innovative therapeutics against SARS. Here, based on the microarray-based functional genomics, we reported that 2B4 cells, a clonal derivative of Calu-3 cells, elicited a temporal and spatial activation of nuclear factor (NF)kappaB, activator protein (AP)-1 (ATF2/c-Jun), and interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-3/-7 at 12-, 24-, and 48-hrs post infection (p.i.), respectively, resulting in the activation of many antiviral genes, including interferon (IFN)-β, -λs, SARS-related inflammatory mediators, and various IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). While elevated responses of IFN-β and IFN-λs were not detected until 48-hrs p.i., as a consequence of a delayed IRF-3/-7 activation, we showed, for the first time, that both types of IFNs exerted previously under-described non-redundant, complementary, and/or synergistic effects on the epithelial defense against SARS-CoV. Collectively, our results highlight the molecular mechanisms of the sequential activation of virus- and IFN-dependent signaling of lung epithelial cells against SARS-CoV and identify novel cellular targets for future studies, aiming at advancing strategies against SARS. DNA microarrays were performed in the Molecular Genomics (MG) Core Facilities at UTMB. The detailed information about the procedures of microarray analysis has been posted on the MG Core Facilities website (genomics@scms.utmb.edu). To characterize the dynamic, spatial, and temporal changes of the gene expression induced by SARS-CoV, confluent 2B4 cells grown in T-75 flasks were infected with SARS-CoV (MOI=0.1) or remained uninfected (as control) for 12, 24, and 48hrs. Because 2B4 cells were also permissive to the productive infection of Dhori virus (DHOV), a member of the Orthomyxoviridae family within the Thogotovirus genus, resulting in robust responses of IFNs and other pro-inflammatory mediators, we also established parallel cultures of DHOV-infected 2B4 cells (MOI=0.1) for the comparative analysis of global gene expression elicited by SARS-CoV- versus DHOV-infected 2B4 cells. To meet the minimal number required for application of statistical algorithms, we performed the study in triplicate at each time point for mock-, SARS-CoV-, and DHOV-infected cultures, yielding a total of 27 arrays. Briefly, supernatants were harvested from differentially treated cultures at 12-, 24-, and 48-hrs p.i. for subsequent analyses of viral yields and cytokine profiling, whereas the cells were subjected to total RNA extraction by using an RNAqueous-4PCR kit and following the protocol recommended by the manufacturer (Ambion, Austin, TX). Purified RNA samples were sent to our core facility for conversion to cDNA, biotin-labeled, and hybridized to 27 Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 âGene Chipsâ each of which contained 54,675 probe set identifiers representing more than ~47,400 transcripts that identify ~38,500 well-characterized genes, and various internal controls (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Mock-infected cells were compared to cells infected with SARS-CoV or DHOV at each time point.
