Prenatal VEGF Nano-Delivery Reverses Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia-Associated Pulmonary Abnormalities

Project description:Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) affects 1-2 in 5,000 neonates who are born with hypoplastic lungs leading to significant morbidity and mortality. In severe cases tracheal occlusion (TO) can be offered to promote lung growth through airway stretch, but such growth remains limited. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a key mediator of normal lung development, is downregulated in animal models of CDH, but its role in CDH-associated lung pathology in humans is not known. Using 18-22 post-conception week fetal lungs from CDH patients, we demonstrated for the first time that lung hypoplasia in this setting is associated with impaired VEGF expression and reduced pulmonary epithelial cell proliferation. We then developed a human ex vivo model of fetal lung compression relevant to CDH, in which a mechanical constraint was added to cultured lung fragments. Our model recapitulated impaired branching morphogenesis observed in CDH fetal lungs, and scRNAseq revealed significant reduction of the proliferative potential of terminal bud epithelial progenitors with concomitant reduction in expression of VEGF. Importantly, the exogenous supplementation of recombinant VEGF in this setting induced a significant increase of terminal bud progenitor cell proliferation, comparable to non-compressed control tissue. Finally, we developed a novel therapeutic agent delivery platform by conjugating recombinant VEGF on the surface of nanoparticles (nanodiamonds; ND-VEGF). In utero, intratracheal administration of ND-VEGF into the in vivo TO Nitrofen rat model of CDH resulted in lung growth as well as pulmonary arterial remodelling leading to histological appearances comparable to healthy controls. The beneficial effects of ND-VEGF were abrogated by co-administration of a selective VEGF-receptor-2 (KDR/Flk1) inhibitor and were not observed when unconjugated VEGF was delivered. This innovative approach could have a significant impact on the treatment of CDH.

Rabbit Model of Fetal Tracheal Occlusion for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Project description:Analysis of embronic day 30.5 (E30.5) fetal rabbit left lung after creation of diapragmatic hernia (DH) at E25 and tracheal occlusion (TO) at E27. The fetuses of timed pregnant New Zealand rabbits were subjected to creation of a left diaphragmatic hernia at E25 with or without tracheal occlusion at E27. At E30.5, the fetuses were sacrificed with collection of the lateral aspect of the left upper lobe for NextGen mRNA sequencing.

A tracheal aspirate-derived airway basal cell model reveals a proinflammatory epithelial defect in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is characterized by incomplete closure of the diaphragm and lung hypoplasia. The pathophysiology of lung defects in CDH is poorly understood. To establish a translational model of human airway epithelium in CDH for pathogenic investigation and therapeutic testing, we developed a robust methodology of epithelial progenitor derivation from tracheal aspirates of newborns. Basal stem cells from CDH patients and preterm and term, non-CDH controls were derived and analyzed by bulk RNA-sequencing, ATAC-sequencing, and air-liquid-interface differentiation. Transcriptomic and epigenetic profiling of CDH and non-CDH basal stem cells reveals a disease-specific, proinflammatory signature independent of severity or hernia size. In addition, CDH basal stem cells exhibit defective epithelial differentiation in vitro that recapitulates epithelial phenotypes found in fetal human CDH lung samples and fetal tracheas of the nitrofen rat model of CDH. Furthermore, steroid treatment normalizes epithelial differentiation phenotypes of human CDH basal stem cells in vitro and in nitrofen rat tracheas in vivo. Our findings have identified an interplay between a proinflammatory signature and BSC differentiation as a potential therapeutic target for airway epithelial defects in CDH.
