Project description:Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by a type 2-high adaptive immune response towards common aeroantigens such as dust mite, pollen and animal dander. Despite the advances made towards translation of various biologics into the clinic, the limited efficacy of these therapies in certain populations, combined with the ineligibility of some patients for treatment (clinically or economically), have led to the continued need for the development of more widely effective allergic asthma therapies. Our lab previously identified lectin mannose-binding 1 (LMAN1) as a novel receptor for house dust mite (HDM) and showed that in vitro, LMAN1 downregulated inflammatory NF-κB signaling in DCs in response to HDM. In this follow-up work, we investigated the in vivo relevance of LMAN1 by subjecting LMAN1 knockout (KO) mice and wild type (WT) littermate controls to a model of HDM-induced allergic asthma. Surprisingly, we discovered that loss of LMAN1 led to opposing effects on airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) which were dependent on the sex of the mice. HDM-treated female LMAN1 KO mice showed increased AHR, while HDM-treated male KO mice showed decreased AHR, compared with their WT counterparts. We further identified the features of HDM-induced asthma which may account for the gender-biased effects of LMAN1 on lung function. This work not only highlights the complexity of the loss of LMAN1 in vivo but also suggests that such sex-dependent responses should be taken into consideration when pursuing LMAN1 as a therapeutic target for treatment of allergic asthma.

Project description:Allergen exposure induces the airway epithelium to produce chemoattractants, proallergic interleukins, matrix-modifying proteins, and proteins that influence the growth and activation state of airway structural cells. These proteins, in turn, contribute to the influx of inflammatory cells and changes in structure that characterize the asthmatic airway. To use the response of the airway epithelium to allergen to identify genes not previously associated with allergic responses, we compared gene expression in cytokeratin-positive cells before and after segmental allergen challenge. After challenge with concentrations of allergen in the clinically relevant range, 755 (6%) of the detectable sequences had geometric mean fold-changes in expression, with 95% confidence intervals that excluded unity. Using a prospectively defined conservative filtering algorithm, we identified 141 sequences as upregulated and eight as downregulated, with confirmation by conventional polymerase chain reaction in all 10 sequences studied. Using this approach, we identified asthma-associated sequences including interleukin (IL-)-3, IL-4, and IL-5 receptor subunits, the p65 component of nuclear factor-kappaB, and lipocortin. The genomic response of the human airway to concentrations of allergen in the clinically relevant range involves a greater number of genes than previously recognized, including many not previously associated with asthma that are differentially expressed after airway allergen exposure.

Project description:An important feature of human asthma and animal models of asthma is airway hyperresponsiveness. The symptoms of asthma are a narrowing of the airways caused by edema and the influx of inflammatory cells. The aim of this project is to determine the temporal relationship between gene expression and airway allergen challenge. 4 weeks old BALB/CJ mice were challenged on days 0,3,10 and 17 with PBS and ragweed pollen protein plus Alum.

Project description:Exaggerated airway constriction triggered by exposure to irritants such as allergen, also called hyperreactivity, is a hallmark of asthma and can be life-threatening. Aside from immune cells, vagal sensory neurons are important for airway hyperreactivity 1-4. However, the identity and signature of the downstream nodes of this adaptive circuit remains poorly understood. Here we show that Dbh+ neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (nTS) of the brainstem, and downstream neurons in the nucleus ambiguus (NA), are both necessary and sufficient for chronic allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity. We found that repeated exposures of mice to inhaled allergen activates nTS neurons in a mast cell-, interleukin 4 (IL-4)- and vagal nerve-dependent manner. Single-nucleus RNA-seq followed by RNAscope quantification of the nTS at baseline and following allergen challenges reveals that a Dbh+ population is preferentially activated. Ablation or chemogenetic inactivation of Dbh+ nTS neurons blunted, while chemogenetic activation promoted hyperreactivity. Viral tracing indicates that Dbh+ nTS neurons, capable of producing norepinephrine, project to the NA, and NA neurons are necessary and sufficient to relay allergen signals to postganglionic neurons that then directly drive airway constriction. Focusing on transmitters, delivery of norepinephrine antagonists to the NA blunted allergen-induced hyperreactivity. Together, these findings provide molecular, anatomical and functional definitions of key nodes of a canonical allergen response circuit. The knowledge opens the possibility of targeting neural modulation as an approach to control allergen-induced airway constriction.

Project description:The BcA86 strain is a unique recombinant congenic strain created from parental strains A/J and C57BL/6J. Naive mice from the BcA86 strain have a lung responsiveness phenotype resembling mice from airway hyperresponsive strain A/J. However, majority of the BcA86 genome is from the hyporesponsive strain C57BL/6J. Our goal was to identify the genomic regions that are associated with this BcA86 phenotype. Using F2 mice generated from BcA86 backcrossed to C57BL/6J, we identified a QTL for airway hyperresponsiveness on mouse chromosome 12. We validated the importance of mouse chromosome 12 in airway responsiveness using a chromosome 12 substitution strain (CSS12) which contains A/J chromosome 12 on a C57BL/6J background. The CSS12 strain also had a lung responsiveness phenotype similar to A/J. We selected genes within our QTL as candidates for airway hyperresponsiveness if they contained a deleterious coding variant (based on PROVEAN analysis) or if they were differently expressed between hyperresponsive (A/J, BcA86, CSS12) and hyporesponsive (C57BL/6J) strains.

Project description:This project investigates the mechanisms that underlie asthma-related phenotypes associated with allergen exposure. See http://www.hopkins-genomics.org/asthma/asthma006/index.html The goal of the experiment was to identify genes that change their levels of expression as a consequence of challenge with allergen. The experiments utilized a murine model of human asthma that employed BALB/CJ mice. In this particular sensitization-challenge protocol, the response produced by BALB/CJ mice is representative of a majority of the mouse strains tested. The antigen complex used to sensitize and challenge the mice was ragweed pollen an allergen that is highly relevant to human disease. Keywords: time series, allergen

Project description:Airway hyperresponsiveness is found to be a heritable trait and the parents of respiratory patients often have this trait. To understand if airway constriction affects the lung and contributes to lung disease, we investigated the lungs that often occur airway constriction and compared those lungs with healthy lung and the lung with inflammation.
