Project description:Bovine respiratory epithelial cells have different susceptibility to bovine
respiratory syncytial virus infection. The cells derived from the lower
respiratory tract were significantly more susceptible to the virus than those
derived from the upper respiratory tract. Pre-infection with virus of lower
respiratory tract with increased adherence of P. multocida; this was not the
case for upper tract. However, the molecular mechanisms of enhanced
bacterial adherence are not completely understood. To investigate whether
virus infection regulates the cellular adherence receptor on bovine trachea-,
bronchus- and lung-epithelial cells, we performed proteomic analyses.

Project description:The nasal mucosa is the first immunologically active site that respiratory viruses encounter and establishing immunity at the initial point of pathogen contact is essential for preventing viral spread. Influenza A virus (IAV) in humans preferentially replicates in the upper respiratory tract (URT) but mouse models of infection result in lower respiratory tract (LRT) infection. Here we optimize IAV inoculation to enhance replication in the nasal turbinate (NT) and study local B cell immunity. We demonstrate that URT-targeted IAV infection stimulates robust local B cell responses, including germinal centre (GC) B cell formation in the NT, outside of classical nasal associated lymphoid tissues (NALT). NT GC contribute to local tissue resident B cell generation and enhance local antibody production. Furthermore, URT-focused immunization also induces significant GC formation in the NT. Finally, we detect steady-state GC in the NT of both mice and healthy humans, suggesting continuous immune surveillance triggered by environmental stimuli. These findings highlight the pivotal role of the NT in local and systemic immunity, with important implications for future mucosal vaccines targeting the upper airways.

Project description:Viral infections affecting the upper or lower respiratory tract induce mucin production in the epithelial surfaces of the respiratory cells. However, a little is known about how mucins are produced on the surfaces of respiratory epithelial cells and affects viral replication. In the course of the investigation of the cellular responses in the early stage of Influenza A virus (IAV) infection, we found that two miRNAs, miR-221 and miR-17-3p, which target the mRNA of GalNAc transferase 3 (GALNT3), are rapidly down-regulated as early as 1.5 h post-infection.

Project description:The respiratory epithelium is the body’s first line of defense to pathogens, pollutants, and other potentially injurious agents that can be inhaled. Sampling the upper respiratory tract is becoming a widely used technique in the clinic to examine the molecular changes in the diseased airway; however, it is unclear as to whether the responses in the upper respiratory tract (i.e. the nasal turbinates) reflect the changes that occur in the lower respiratory tract (i.e. trachea and lungs). Here, we assessed the responses to poly I:C, a synthetic double-stranded RNA molecule that is meant to mimic the acute effects of a viral infection, in both the upper and lower respiratory tracts of cynomolgus macaques. To do this, we compared the in vivo response after a nasal poly I:C challenge in a nasal scrape samples (performed using a nasal curette) to responses that occurred after ex vivo poly I:C stimulation in nasal scrapes, tracheal epithelial brushings, and lung tissue explants in non-human primates.
