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.

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: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:Studying the proteomes of tissue-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) can lead to the identifica-tion of biomarkers of disease and can provide a better understanding of cell-to-cell communica-tion in both healthy and diseased tissue. The aim of this study was to apply our previously es-tablished tissue-derived EV isolation protocol to mouse lungs in order to determine the changes in the proteomes of lung tissue-derived EVs during allergen-induced eosinophilic airway in-flammation. A mouse model for allergic airway inflammation was used by sensitizing the mice intraperitoneal with ovalbumin (OVA), and one week after the final sensitization, the mice were challenged intranasal with OVA or PBS. The animals were sacrificed 24 h after the final chal-lenge, and their lungs were removed and sliced into smaller pieces that were incubated in cul-ture media with DNase I and Collagenase D for 30 min at 37 °C. Vesicles were isolated from the medium by ultracentrifugation and bottom-loaded iodixanol density cushions, and the proteo-mes were determined using quantitative mass spectrometry. More EVs were present in the lungs of the OVA-challenged mice compared to the PBS-challenged control mice. In total, 4510 proteins were quantified in all samples. Among them, over 1000 proteins were significantly altered (fold change >2), with 614 proteins being increased and 425 proteins being decreased in the EVs from OVA-challenged mice compared to EVs from PBS-challenged animals. The associated cellular components and biological processes were analyzed for the altered EV proteins, and the proteins enriched during allergen-induced airway inflammation were mainly associated with gene on-tology (GO) terms related to immune responses. In conclusion, EVs can be isolated from mouse lung tissue, and the EVs’ proteomes undergo changes in response to allergen-induced airway in-flammation. This suggests that the composition of lung-derived EVs is altered in diseases asso-ciated with inflammation of the lung, which may have implications in type-2 driven eosino-philic asthma pathogenesis.

Project description:There is evidence for the beneficial effect of FK506, an effective immunosuppressive agent, for the treatment of asthma; however, the mechanisms underlying these effects are unclear. Using a mouse model of airway inflammation induced by Papain, a protease allergen, and RNAseq analysis of lung innate cells, we found that FK506 inhibited the activation of ILC2s, which initiate airway inflammation, as well as the induction of TH2 cells, which cause chronic inflammation. Our findings further support the clinical value of FK506 for the treatment of allergen-induced airway inflammation and clarify its targets and mechanisms of action.

Project description:This protocol outlines a single-site mechanistic study aiming to investigate long RNAs differentially expressed in the airway epithelium of asthma patients both at baseline and in response to segmental airway allergen challenges. Over approximately 14 days, the study spanned three visits: Visit 1: Comprehensive characterization of participants, encompassing lung function testing, methacholine challenge testing, and allergen skin prick testing. Visit 2: Participants underwent bronchoscopy wherein three procedures were performed a. Epithelial brushings were performed in a segmental airway (baseline sample) b. Diluent (inactive control) was instilled into another segmental airway c. A small dose of allergen was administered into a third segmental airway using standardized cat or dust mite allergen extracts. Visit 3 (24 hours or 7 days post Visit 2): Another bronchoscopy was carried out to collect epithelial brushings in the diluent challenged and allergen challenged segments The collected epithelial brush samples underwent analysis for mRNA expression in the epithelial brushings. The study successfully incorporated a total of 23 subjects, which included 18 asthmatics (with stable or well-controlled conditions), 2 allergic non-asthmatics, and 3 non-allergic non-asthmatics.
