Roy S, Roy S, Halder S, Jana K, Ukil A. Leishmania exploits host cAMP/EPAC/calcineurin signaling to induce an IL-33-mediated anti-inflammatory environment for the establishment of infection. J Biol Chem 2024; 300:107366. [PMID: 38750790 PMCID: PMC11208913 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.107366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Host anti-inflammatory responses are critical for the progression of visceral leishmaniasis, and the pleiotropic cytokine interleukin (IL)-33 was found to be upregulated in infection. Here, we documented that IL-33 induction is a consequence of elevated cAMP-mediated exchange protein activated by cAMP (EPAC)/calcineurin-dependent signaling and essential for the sustenance of infection. Leishmania donovani-infected macrophages showed upregulation of IL-33 and its neutralization resulted in decreased parasite survival and increased inflammatory responses. Infection-induced cAMP was involved in IL-33 production and of its downstream effectors PKA and EPAC, only the latter was responsible for elevated IL-33 level. EPAC initiated Rap-dependent phospholipase C activation, which triggered the release of intracellular calcium followed by calcium/calmodulin complex formation. Screening of calmodulin-dependent enzymes affirmed involvement of the phosphatase calcineurin in cAMP/EPAC/calcium/calmodulin signaling-induced IL-33 production and parasite survival. Activated calcineurin ensured nuclear localization of the transcription factors, nuclear factor of activated T cell 1 and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha required for IL-33 transcription, and we further confirmed this by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. Administering specific inhibitors of nuclear factor of activated T cell 1 and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha in BALB/c mouse model of visceral leishmaniasis decreased liver and spleen parasite burden along with reduction in IL-33 level. Splenocyte supernatants of inhibitor-treated infected mice further documented an increase in tumor necrosis factor alpha and IL-12 level with simultaneous decrease of IL-10, thereby indicating an overall disease-escalating effect of IL-33. Thus, this study demonstrates that cAMP/EPAC/calcineurin signaling is crucial for the activation of IL-33 and in effect creates anti-inflammatory responses, essential for infection.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects neuronal cells in the central nervous system (CNS), resulting in neurological symptoms. In the present study, we intended to explore the mechanism of RSV infection-induced neuroinflammatory injury from the perspective of the immune response and sought to identify effective protective measures against the injury. The findings showed that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) was activated after RSV infection in human neuronal SY5Y cells. Furthermore, TLR4 activation induced autophagy and apoptosis in neuronal cells, promoted the formation of the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, and increased the secretion of downstream inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-18 (IL-18) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Interestingly, blockade of TLR4 or treatment with exogenous melatonin significantly suppressed TLR4 activation as well as TLR4-mediated apoptosis, autophagy and immune responses. Therefore, we infer that melatonin may act on the TLR4 to ameliorate RSV-induced neuronal injury, which provides a new therapeutic target for RSV infection.

Activated Leukocyte Cell Adhesion Molecule Regulates the Expression of Interleukin-33 in RSV Induced Airway Inflammation by Regulating MAPK Signaling Pathways. Lung 2024; 202:127-137. [PMID: 38502305 DOI: 10.1007/s00408-024-00682-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that causes acute lower respiratory tract infectious diseases, particularly in young children and older individuals. Activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) is a membrane glycoprotein expressed in various cell types, including epithelial cells, and is associated with inflammatory responses and various cancers. However, the precise role of ALCAM in RSV-induced airway inflammation remains unclear, and our study aimed to explore this gap in the literature. METHODS C57BL/6 wild-type, ALCAM knockout mice and airway epithelial cells were infected with RSV and the expression of ALCAM and inflammatory cytokines were measured. We also conducted further experiments using Anti-ALCAM antibody and recombinant ALCAM in airway epithelial cells. RESULTS The expression levels of ALCAM and inflammatory cytokines increased in both RSV-infected mice and airway epithelial cells. Interestingly, IL-33 expression was significantly reduced in ALCAM-knockdown cells compared to control cells following RSV infection. Anti-ALCAM antibody treatment also reduced IL-33 expression following RSV infection. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38, and JNK was diminished in ALCAM-knockdown cells compared to control cells following RSV infection. Notably, in the control cells, inhibition of these pathways significantly decreased the expression of IL-33. In vivo study also confirmed a reduction in inflammation induced by RSV infection in ALCAM deficient mice compared to wild-type mice. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate that ALCAM contributes to RSV-induced airway inflammation at least partly by influencing IL-33 expression through mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. These results suggest that targeting ALCAM could be a potential therapeutic strategy for alleviating IL-33-associated lung diseases.

Abstract
The Yangtze River Delta white goats are the sole goat breed producing brush hair of high quality. Owing to the particularities of its wool production, a higher demand is placed on breeding efforts for this animal. Studies on the developmental mechanisms of the aligned hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) provide a theoretical basis for molecular breeding. In the present study, HFSCs were isolated using the technique of immunohistochemistry from the cervical spinal skin tissue samples from the fetal sheep, and the miR-133a-3p expression was confirmed using quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blotting experiments from the isolated HFSCs. Additionally, the effects on the proliferation and apoptosis of HFSCs were detected using flow cytometry and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assays, along with other methods, following the overexpression of miR-133a-3p or its inhibition. The experimental results revealed that miR-133a-3p overexpressed could inhibit the proliferation of HFSCs and promote apoptosis by specifically targeting DUSP6. While the miR-133a-3p knockdown could promote the proliferation but inhibit the apoptosis of the HFSCs. Meanwhile, the miR-133a-3p knockdown experiments showed opposite outcomes. These results illustrate the presence of a relevant network between DUSP6 and miR-133a-3p, which regulates the production of superior-quality brush hair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dendritic cells (DCs) contribute to immune imbalance and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) induced by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The aim of present study was to explore the mechanism of RSV regulating naive T cell differentiation through DCs. METHODS We generated a Lentivirus shRNA expression vector to knock down CHI3L1 in mouse lungs and bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs). Then we investigated the effect of CHI3L1 knockdown on MAPK/ERK pathway, PI3K/AKT pathway, mature DCs represented by molecular markers, naive T cell differentiation and related cytokine expression in vitro and in vivo models of RSV. RESULTS RSV elevated CHI3L1 expression in lung DCs and BMDCs. Knockdown of CHI3L1 impeded RSV-induced activation of MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, attenuated CD86 and OX40L expression in mature DCs, reduced the proportion of Th2 and Th17 cells, and increased the proportion of Treg cells. In addition, by blocking CHI3L1, RSV-infected mice shown relief of airway resistance, the downregulation of Th2/Th17 like cytokines IL-4, IL-13 and IL-17 levels, and the upregulation of IL-10. CONCLUSION Our data show that CHI3L1 promotes RSV induced immune imbalance and airway hyperresponsiveness by regulating the functional transformation of DCs.

Abstract
Activated group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a crucial role in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced airway inflammation and allergy-like symptoms because of their ability to secrete large quantities of type 2 cytokines. Cytokines such as IL-33, IL-25, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin are activators of ILC2s. Besides, a regulatory effect of neurotransmitters on ILC2 activation has been reported recently. However, whether and how RSV infection induces neurotransmitter production in the lungs and regulates pulmonary ILC2 activation remains unclear. In this study, using a murine model established by intranasal infection with RSV, we found that acute RSV infection induced the production of a neurotransmitter, neuromedin U (NMU), in the lungs of RSV-infected mice and upregulated the expression of NMUR1 (neuromedin U receptor 1) on ILC2s. Moreover, in vivo administration of NMU exacerbated RSV-induced airway inflammation by promoting the proliferation and activation of pulmonary ILC2s via the NMUR1 pathway, which involved PI3K, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, and NFAT signaling proteins. Furthermore, pulmonary neurons responded to the stimulation of RSV infection and secreted NMU in a Toll-like receptor 4- and Toll-like receptor 7-dependent manner. Collectively, our data suggest that NMU is a powerful neuropeptide to activate ILC2s, highlighting the critical regulatory effects of neurotransmitters on antiviral, inflammatory, and tissue homeostasis at the mucosal barrier during a viral respiratory infection.

Abstract
It is well known that the T Helper (Th)2 bias plays a critical role in allergic asthma. Whereas the Th2 bias is maintained in the local tissues is uncertain. IL-33 is vital for the development of the Th2 polarization. TWIST-1 has an effect on regulating cellular functions. The aberrant activation of RAS sustains certain cellular activities. The aim of this study is to study the role of the interaction between activation of TWIST1 and RAS in inducing and maintaining Th2 polarization in allergic asthma. The epithelial cells of the airways (AEC) were isolated from the broncho-alveolar lavage fluids in patients with asthma. The mediators involved in the over-expression of IL-33 were determined by RNA sequencing. A mouse model was established to test the role of TWIST1 and RAS in developing allergic asthma. We observed a strong expression of TWIST1 in patients with allergic asthma that showed a positive correlation with asthmatic responses. TWIST1 favored the expression of the IL-33 in the AEC. Twist1-deficient AEC-carrying mice did not induce Th2 polarization in the airways. The expression TWIST1 in AECs was positively associated with RAS activation in AECs in patients with allergic asthma. The interaction between RAS and TWIST1 in AECs sustained airway allergic inflammation. Inhibition of TWIST1 or RAS prevented asthma-like inflammation in the mouse airways. In summary, the interaction between TWIST1 and RAS induces and maintains IL-33 expression in AECs to facilitate allergic inflammation in the respiratory tract. Inhibition of TWIST1 or RAS can prevent experimental allergic asthma.

Abstract
It is well ascertained that airway inflammation has a key role in the genesis of numerous respiratory pathologies, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Pulmonary tissue inflammation and anti-inflammatory responses implicate an intricate relationship between local and infiltrating immune cells and structural pulmonary cells. Alarmins are endogenic proteins discharged after cell injury in the extracellular microenvironment. The purpose of our review is to highlight the alterations in respiratory diseases involving some alarmins, such as high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and interleukin (IL)-33, and their inter-relationships and relationships with genetic non-coding material, such as microRNAs. The role played by these alarmins in some pathophysiological processes confirms the existence of an axis composed of HMGB1 and IL-33. These alarmins have been implicated in ferroptosis, the onset of type 2 inflammation and airway alterations. Moreover, both factors can act on non-coding genetic material capable of modifying respiratory function. Finally, we present an outline of alarmins and RNA-based therapeutics that have been proposed to treat respiratory pathologies.

Montelukast Increased IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP via Epigenetic Regulation in Airway Epithelial Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24021227.

Abstract
The epithelium-derived cytokines interleukin (IL)-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) are important mediators that initiate innate type 2 immune responses in asthma. Leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) are commonly used to prevent asthma exacerbations. However, the effects of LTRAs on epithelium-derived cytokines expression in airway epithelial cells are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of LTRAs on the expression of epithelium-derived cytokines in human airway epithelial cells and to explore possible underlying intracellular processes, including epigenetic regulation. A549 or HBE cells in air-liquid interface conditions were pretreated with different concentrations of LTRAs. The expression of epithelium-derived cytokines and intracellular signaling were investigated by real-time PCR, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Western blot. In addition, epigenetic regulation was investigated using chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis. The expression of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP was increased under LTRAs treatment and suppressed by inhaled corticosteroid cotreatment. Montelukast-induced IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP expression were mediated by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathways and regulated by histone H3 acetylation and H3K36 and H3K79 trimethylation. LTRAs alone might increase inflammation and exacerbate asthma by inducing the production of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP; therefore, LTRA monotherapy may not be an appropriate therapeutic option for asthma.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-33 is a key cytokine involved in type-2 immunity and allergic airway disease. At the level of lung epithelial cells, where it is clearly expressed, IL-33 plays an important role in both innate and adaptive immune responses in mucosal organs. It has been widely demonstrated that in the course of respiratory virus infections, the release of IL-33 increases, with consequent pro-inflammatory effects and consequent exacerbation of the clinical symptoms of chronic respiratory diseases. In our work, we analyzed the pathogenetic and prognostic involvement of IL-33 during the main respiratory viral infections, with particular interest in the recent SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic and the aim of determining a possible connection point on which to act with a targeted therapy that is able to improve the clinical outcome of patients.

Abstract
RSV is a leading cause of respiratory tract disease in infants and the elderly. RSV has limited therapeutic interventions and no FDA-approved vaccine. Gaps in our understanding of virus-host interactions and immunity contribute to the lack of biological countermeasures. This review updates the current understanding of RSV immunity and immunopathology with a focus on interferon responses, animal modeling, and correlates of protection.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222212388. [PMID: 34830269 PMCID: PMC8620398 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222212388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2021] [Revised: 11/10/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) causes intestinal injury through overgrowth and the secretion of multiple toxins, leading to diarrhea and necrotic enteritis in animals, including pigs, chickens, and sheep. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) Lac16 on C. perfringens infection-associated injury in intestinal porcine epithelial cell line (IPEC-J2). The results showed that L. plantarum Lac16 significantly inhibited the growth of C. perfringens, which was accompanied by a decrease in pH levels. In addition, L. plantarum Lac16 significantly elevated the mRNA expression levels of host defense peptides (HDPs) in IPEC-J2 cells, decreased the adhesion of C. perfringens to IPEC-J2 cells, and attenuated C. perfringens-induced cellular cytotoxicity and intestinal barrier damage. Furthermore, L. plantarum Lac16 significantly suppressed C. perfringens-induced gene expressions of proinflammatory cytokines and pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in IPEC-J2 cells. Moreover, L. plantarum Lac16 preincubation effectively inhibited the phosphorylation of p65 caused by C. perfringens infection. Collectively, probiotic L. plantarum Lac16 exerts protective effects against C. perfringens infection-associated injury in IPEC-J2 cells.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the most important viral pathogens causing respiratory tract infection in infants, the elderly and people with poor immune function, which causes a huge disease burden worldwide every year. It has been more than 60 years since RSV was discovered, and the palivizumab monoclonal antibody, the only approved specific treatment, is limited to use for passive immunoprophylaxis in high-risk infants; no other intervention has been approved to date. However, in the past decade, substantial progress has been made in characterizing the structure and function of RSV components, their interactions with host surface molecules, and the host innate and adaptive immune response to infection. In addition, basic and important findings have also piqued widespread interest among researchers and pharmaceutical companies searching for effective interventions for RSV infection. A large number of promising monoclonal antibodies and inhibitors have been screened, and new vaccine candidates have been designed for clinical evaluation. In this review, we first briefly introduce the structural composition, host cell surface receptors and life cycle of RSV virions. Then, we discuss the latest findings related to the pathogenesis of RSV. We also focus on the latest clinical progress in the prevention and treatment of RSV infection through the development of monoclonal antibodies, vaccines and small-molecule inhibitors. Finally, we look forward to the prospects and challenges of future RSV research and clinical intervention.

Abstract
FIR treatment improved adjuvant arthritis in rats. FIR exposure inhibited the inflammatory genes expression of synovial tissues in AIA rats. FIR exposure down-regulated inflammatory genes expression mainly through transcription factors AP-1, CEBPα, CEBPβ, c-Fos, GR, HNF-3β, USF-1, and USF-2. FIR irradiation may exhibit anti-arthritic effects through inactivation of the MAPK, PI3K-Akt, and NF-κB signaling pathways.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory joint disease with complex pathogenesis associated with cytokine dysregulation. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) plays a role in systemic inflammation and joint destruction in RA and could be associated with the secretion of other immune-modulatory cytokines such as IL-25, IL-31, and IL-33. For the above, our main aim was to evaluate the IL-25, IL-31, and IL-33 secretion from recombinant human MIF (rhMIF)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of RA patients. The rhMIF and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plus rhMIF stimuli promote the secretion of IL-25, IL-31, and IL-33 (p < 0.05) from PBMC of RA patients. The study groups, the different stimuli, and the interaction between both showed a statistically significant effect on the secretion of IL-25 (p < 0.05) and IL-31 (p < 0.01). The study of the effect of the RA patient treatments and their interaction with the effect of stimuli did not show an interaction between them. In conclusion, our study generates new evidence for the role of MIF in the secretion of IL-25, IL-31, and IL-33 and its immunomodulatory effect on RA.

Abstract
Changes in the intestinal microbiota indirectly impact the health of mucosa distal to the intestine, particularly the respiratory tract. However, the effects of intestinal microbiota dysbiosis on the regulation of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection are not clear. In this study, we examined the effects of altering the intestinal microbiota on the pulmonary immune response against RSV infection. BALB/c mice were treated with streptomycin before infection with RSV to study the altered immune response. The ingestion of streptomycin led to a marked alteration in the intestinal microbiota with a reduced abundance of Lactobacillus and Clostridium genera, followed by greatly aggravated pulmonary inflammation in response to RSV infection. This aggravated inflammation was associated with a dysregulated immune response against RSV infection, characterized by the increased expression of IFN-γ and IL-17 and increased pulmonary M1-like macrophage polarization, and decreased expression of IL-5. Supplementation of Clostridium butyricum (CB) prevented aggravated inflammation and the dysregulated immune response characterized by greater M2 polarization of pulmonary macrophages and decreased release of IFN-γ and IL-17 as well as increased IL-5 levels. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo experiments identified that butyrate, the main metabolite produced by CB, promoted M2 polarization of macrophages in RSV-infected mice exposed to streptomycin. Together, these results demonstrate the mechanism by which intestinal microbiota modulate the pulmonary immune response to RSV infection.

Abstract
Background Respiratory viral infections are one of the leading causes of need for emergency care and hospitalizations in asthmatic individuals, and airway-secreted cytokines are released within hours of viral infection to initiate these exacerbations. IL-33, specifically, contributes to these allergic exacerbations by amplifying type 2 inflammation. We hypothesized that blocking IL-33 in RSV-induced exacerbation would significantly reduce allergic inflammation. Methods Sensitized BALB/c mice were challenged with aerosolized ovalbumin (OVA) to establish allergic inflammation, followed by RSV-A2 infection to yield four treatment groups: saline only (Saline), RSV-infected alone (RSV), OVA alone (OVA), and OVA-treated with RSV infection (OVA-RSV). Lung outcomes included lung mRNA and protein markers of allergic inflammation, histology for mucus cell metaplasia and lung immune cell influx by cytospin and flow cytometry. Results While thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and IL-33 were detected 6 h after RSV infection in the OVA-RSV mice, IL-23 protein was uniquely upregulated in RSV-infected mice alone. OVA-RSV animals varied from RSV- or OVA-treated mice as they had increased lung eosinophils, neutrophils, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) and group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) detectable as early as 6 h after RSV infection. Neutralized IL-33 significantly reduced ILC2 and eosinophils, and the prototypical allergic proteins, IL-5, IL-13, CCL17 and CCL22 in OVA-RSV mice. Numbers of neutrophils and ILC3 were also reduced with anti-IL-33 treatment in both RSV and OVA-RSV treated animals as well. Conclusions Taken together, our findings indicate a broad reduction in allergic-proinflammatory events mediated by IL-33 neutralization in RSV-induced asthma exacerbation.

Abstract
Previous studies have found that the expression level of Megalobrama amblycephala intelectin (MaINTL) increased significantly post Aeromonas hydrophila infection, and recombinant MaINTL (rMaINTL) protein could activate macrophages and enhance the phagocytosis and killing activity of macrophages. In order to reveal the immune regulatory mechanisms of MaINTL, primary M. amblycephala macrophages were treated with endotoxin-removed rMaINTL and GST-tag proteins, then total RNA were extracted and used for comparative Digital Gene Expression Profiling (DGE). 1247 differentially expressed genes were identified by comparing rMaINTL and GST-tag treated macrophage groups, including 482 up-regulated unigenes and 765 down-regulated unigenes. In addition, eleven randomly selected differentially expressed genes were verified by qRT-PCR, and most of them shared the similar expression patterns as that of DGE results. GO enrichment revealed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly concentrated in the membrane part and cytoskeleton of cellular component, the binding and signal transducer activity of molecular function, the cellular process, regulation of biological process, signaling and localization of biological process, most of which might related with the phagocytosis and killing activity of macrophages. KEGG analysis revealed the activation and involvement of differentially expressed genes in immune related pathways, such as Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway, Interleukin 17 (IL-17) signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, and NOD like receptor signaling pathway, etc. In these pathways, TNF-ɑ, Activator protein-1 (AP-1), Myeloid differentiation primary response protein MyD88 (MyD88), NF-kappa-B inhibitor alpha (ikBɑ) and other key signaling factors were significantly up-regulated. These results will be helpful to clarify the immune regulatory mechanisms of fish intelectin on macrophages, thus providing a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of fish bacterial diseases.

Cellular context of IL-33 expression dictates impact on anti-helminth immunity. Sci Immunol 2020; 5:5/53/eabc6259.

Abstract
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a pleiotropic cytokine that can promote type 2 inflammation but also drives immunoregulation through Foxp3+Treg expansion. How IL-33 is exported from cells to serve this dual role in immunosuppression and inflammation remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the biological consequences of IL-33 activity are dictated by its cellular source. Whereas IL-33 derived from epithelial cells stimulates group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2)-driven type 2 immunity and parasite clearance, we report that IL-33 derived from myeloid antigen-presenting cells (APCs) suppresses host-protective inflammatory responses. Conditional deletion of IL-33 in CD11c-expressing cells resulted in lowered numbers of intestinal Foxp3+Treg cells that express the transcription factor GATA3 and the IL-33 receptor ST2, causing elevated IL-5 and IL-13 production and accelerated anti-helminth immunity. We demonstrate that cell-intrinsic IL-33 promoted mouse dendritic cells (DCs) to express the pore-forming protein perforin-2, which may function as a conduit on the plasma membrane facilitating IL-33 export. Lack of perforin-2 in DCs blocked the proliferative expansion of the ST2+Foxp3+Treg subset. We propose that perforin-2 can provide a plasma membrane conduit in DCs that promotes the export of IL-33, contributing to mucosal immunoregulation under steady-state and infectious conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a prototypic member of a large family of lysophospholipids, has been recently shown to play a role in immune responses to respiratory diseases. The involvement of LPA in allergic airway inflammation has been reported, but the mechanism remains unclear. OBJECT We analyzed the biological activity of LPA in vitro and in vivo and investigated its role in allergic inflammation in mice using an LPA receptor 2 (LPA2) antagonist. METHODS We used a murine model with acute allergic inflammation, in which mice are sensitized and challenged with house dust mite, and analyzed airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), pathological findings, Th2 cytokines, and IL-33 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung homogenates. The effect of LPA on Th2 differentiation and cytokine production was examined in vitro using naive CD4+ T cells isolated from splenocytes. We also investigated in vivo the effects of LPA on intranasal administration in mice. RESULTS The LPA2 antagonist suppressed the increase of AHR, the number of total cells, and eosinophils in BALF and lung tissue. It also decreased the production of IL-13 in BALF and IL-33 and CCL2 in the lung. LPA promoted Th2 cell differentiation and IL-13 production by Th2 cells in vitro. Nasal administration of LPA significantly increased the number of total cells and IL-13 in BALF via regulating the production of IL-33 and CCL-2-derived infiltrating macrophages. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that LPA plays an important role in allergic airway inflammation and that the blockade of LPA2 might have therapeutic potential for bronchial asthma.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the prevalent pathogen of lower respiratory tract infections in children. The presence of neonatal regulatory B lymphocytes (nBreg) has been associated with a poor control of RSV infection in human newborns and with bronchiolitis severity. So far, little is known about how nBreg may contribute to neonatal immunopathology to RSV. We tracked nBreg in neonatal BALB/c mice and we investigated their impact on lung innate immunity, especially their crosstalk with alveolar macrophages (AMs) upon RSV infection. We showed that the colonization by nBreg during the first week of life is a hallmark of neonatal lung whereas this population is almost absent in adult lung. This particular period of age when nBreg are abundant corresponds to the same period when RSV replication in lungs fails to generate a type-I interferons (IFN-I) response and is not contained. When neonatal AMs are exposed to RSV in vitro, they produce IFN-I that in turn enhances IL-10 production by nBreg. IL-10 reciprocally can decrease IFN-I secretion by AMs. Thus, our work identified nBreg as an important component of neonatal lungs and pointed out new immunoregulatory interactions with AMs in the context of RSV infection.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects a majority of infants and can cause severe disease leading to increased risk to develop asthma later in life. In the present studies we detected high levels of uric acid pathway components during RSV infection and examined whether they altered the pathogenesis of RSV infection. Inhibition of uric acid (UA) pathway activation during RSV infection in airway epithelial cells using XOI decreased the expression of IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and CCL2. In addition, treatment of RSV infected bone marrow-derived macrophages with XOI decreased production of IL-1β. Thus, UA activation of different cell populations contributes different innate immune mediators that promote immunopathogenesis. When mice were treated with XOI or interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL1-ra) during RSV infection decreased pulmonary mucus was observed along with significantly reduced numbers of ILC2 and macrophages, accompanied by decreased IL-33 in bronchoalveolar lavage of the treated mice. These findings provide mechanistic insight into the development of RSV immunopathology and indicate that xanthine metabolites and UA are key immunoregulator molecules during RSV infection. Moreover, these findings suggest uric acid and IL-1β as possible therapeutic targets to attenuate severe RSV disease.

Abstract
Since their identification as a unique cell population, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have revolutionized our understanding of immune responses, leaving their impact on multiple inflammatory and fibrotic pathologies without doubt. Thus, a tightly controlled regulation of local ILC numbers and their activity is of crucial importance. Even though this has been extensively studied in murine ILCs in the last few years, our knowledge of human ILCs is still lagging behind. Our review article will therefore summarize recent insights into the function of human ILCs and will particularly focus on their regulation under inflammatory conditions. The quality and intensity of ILC involvement into local immune responses at mucosal sites of the human body can potentially be modulated via three different axes: (1) activation of tissue-resident mature ILCs, (2) plasticity and local transdifferentiation of specific ILC subsets, and (3) tissue migration and accumulation of peripheral ILCs. Despite a still ongoing scientific effort in this field, already existing data on the fate of human ILCs under different pathologic conditions clearly indicate that all three of these mechanisms are of relevance for the clinical course of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and might likewise provide new target structures for future therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common and contagious virus that results in acute respiratory tract infections in infants. In many cases, the symptoms of RSV remain mild, however, a subset of individuals develop severe RSV-associated bronchiolitis. As such, RSV is the chief cause of infant hospitalization within the United States. Typically, the immune response to RSV is a type 1 response that involves both the innate and adaptive immune systems. However, type 2 cytokines may also be produced as a result of infection of RSV and there is increasing evidence that children who develop severe RSV-associated bronchiolitis are at a greater risk of developing asthma later in life. This review summarizes the contribution of a newly described cell type, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2), and epithelial-derived alarmin proteins that activate ILC2, including IL-33, IL-25, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). ILC2 activation leads to the production of type 2 cytokines and the induction of a type 2 response during RSV infection. Intervening in this innate type 2 inflammatory pathway may have therapeutic implications for severe RSV-induced disease.

Abstract
Objective: Interleukin (IL)-33 has been attracting more and more attention as a new member of theIL-1 cytokine family in recent years. However, the underlying mechanisms referred to the regulation of endogenous IL-33 production are not fully illustrated. Paeoniflorin (PF) has been reported to possess multiple pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammation and anti-allergy. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of PF on IL-33 production by macrophages and explore the underlying mechanisms.Methods: In vivo, IL-33 production in mice after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection together with PF application was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In vitro, MTT, Real-time PCR, ELISA, Calcium (Ca2+) imaging and Western blot were used to assess the cytotoxicity of PF, IL-33 expression at mRNA and protein levels, Ca2+ influx, protein kinase C (PKC) activity, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages with PF administration.Results: Our results indicated that PF (5 and 25 mg/kg) significantly reduced the production of TNF-a, IL-1β, and IL-33 in the peritoneal exudate of LPS-treated mice. In vitro assay, upregulation of PF concentration (≥ 20 μM) showed an increased cytotoxicity in RAW264.7 cells during the 24-h cell culture. PF (10 μM) inhibited IL-33 production, Ca2+ influx, PKC activity, NF-κB (p65) activation, and P38MAPK phosphorylation in LPS-treated macrophages. Notably, NF-κB inhibitor (BAY 11-7085), P38MAPK inhibitor (SB203580), and Ca2+ blocker (NiCl2) also curbed LPS-induced IL-33 production, respectively.Conclusions: PF suppresses IL-33 production by macrophages via inhibiting NF-κB and P38MAPK activation associated with the regulation of Ca2+ mobilization.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive and lethal interstitial lung disease characterized by consistent pulmonary inflammation. Although protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) is involved in broad scope cellular response, the role of PKCδ in IPF is complicated and has not been fully defined yet. Here, we reported that PKCδ deficiency (PKCδ-/-) aggravated bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis and inflammation. Upon challenge with BLM, the pulmonary capillary permeability, immune cell infiltration, inflammatory cytokine production, and collagen deposition were enhanced in PKCδ-/- mice compared to that in PKCδ+/+ mice. In response to poly(I:C) stimulation, PKCδ deficient macrophages displayed an increased production of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-33, which were associated with an enhanced NF-κB activation. Furthermore, we found that PKCδ could directly bind to and phosphorylate A20, an inhibitory protein of NF-κB signal. These results suggested that PKCδ may inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway via enhancing the stability and activity of A20, which in turn attenuates pulmonary fibrosis, suggesting that PKCδ is a promising target for treating pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
Background Osteosarcoma is the most common primary tumor of bone. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that also participates in tumor progression. This study aimed to investigate the role of IL-33 in human osteosarcoma cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro and the molecular mechanisms involved. Material/Methods The normal osteoblast cell line, hFOB 1.19, and the human osteosarcoma cell lines SOSP-9607, SAOS2, MG63, and U2OS were studied. The expression of IL-33 mRNA and protein in human osteosarcoma cell lines were detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot, respectively. The effects of IL-33 on human osteosarcoma cell viability, apoptosis, EMT, and the signaling pathways were studied using the MTT assay, flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, and Western blot. Results IL-33 was upregulated in human osteosarcoma cell lines, including U2OS cells. The use of an IL-33 gene plasmid promoted osteosarcoma cell viability, inhibited cell apoptosis, increased the expression of Bcl-2, and reduced the expression of Bax. IL-33 reduced the level of E-cadherin and increased the levels of N-cadherin and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in osteosarcoma cells at the mRNA and protein level. The use of the IL-33 plasmid increased the protein expression levels of p-AKT and the p-AKT/AKT ratio in osteosarcoma cells, and IL-33 siRNA reversed these findings. Conclusions IL-33 was highly expressed in human osteosarcoma cells. Down-regulation of IL-33 reduced cell viability and EMT of osteosarcoma cells, and induced cell apoptosis through activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

[PMID: 32001353 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2020.01.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2019] [Revised: 12/27/2019] [Accepted: 01/22/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
We investigated differential gene expression in Tilapia infected with the Tilapia Lake virus (TiLV).We used high-throughput sequencing to identify mRNAs and miRNAs involved in TiLV infection progression We identified 25,359 differentially expressed genes that included 863 new genes. We identified 1770, 4142 and 4947 differently expressed genes comparing non-infected controls with 24 and 120 h infections and between the infected groups, respectively. These genes were enriched to 291 GO terms and 62 KEGG pathways and included immune system progress and virion genes. High-throughput miRNA sequencing identified 316 conserved miRNAs, 525 known miRNAs and 592 novel miRNAs. Furthermore, 138, 198 and 153 differently expressed miRNAs were found between the 3 groups listed above, respectively. Target prediction revealed numerous genes including erythropoietin isoform X2, double-stranded RNA-specific adenosine deaminase isoform X1, bone morphogenetic protein 4 and tapasin-related protein that are involved in immune responsiveness. Moreover, these target genes overlapped with differentially expressed mRNAs obtained from RNA-seq. These target genes were significantly enriched to GO terms and KEGG pathways including immune system progress, virion and Wnt signaling pathways. Expression patterns of differentially expressed mRNA and miRNAs were validated in 20 mRNA and 19 miRNAs by qRT-PCR. We also were able to construct a miRNA-mRNA target network that can further understand the molecular mechanisms on the pathogenesis of TiLV and guide future research in developing effective agents and strategies to combat TiLV infections in Tilapia.

Pulmonary IL-33 orchestrates innate immune cells to mediate respiratory syncytial virus-evoked airway hyperreactivity and eosinophilia. Allergy 2020; 75:818-830. [PMID: 31622507 DOI: 10.1111/all.14091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2019] [Revised: 09/17/2019] [Accepted: 10/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is epidemiologically linked to asthma. During RSV infection, IL-33 is elevated and promotes immune cell activation, leading to the development of asthma. However, which immune cells are responsible for triggering airway hyperreactivity (AHR), inflammation and eosinophilia remained to be clarified. We aimed to elucidate the individual roles of IL-33-activated innate immune cells, including ILC2s and ST2+ myeloid cells, in RSV infection-triggered pathophysiology. METHODS The role of IL-33/ILC2 axis in RSV-induced AHR inflammation and eosinophilia were evaluated in the IL-33-deficient and YetCre-13 Rosa-DTA mice. Myeloid-specific, IL-33-deficient or ST2-deficient mice were employed to examine the role of IL-33 and ST2 signaling in myeloid cells. RESULTS We found that IL-33-activated ILC2s were crucial for the development of AHR and airway inflammation, during RSV infection. ILC2-derived IL-13 was sufficient for RSV-driven AHR, since reconstitution of wild-type ILC2 rescued RSV-driven AHR in IL-13-deficient mice. Meanwhile, myeloid cell-derived IL-33 was required for airway inflammation, ST2+ myeloid cells contributed to exacerbation of airway inflammation, suggesting the importance of IL-33 signaling in these cells. Local and peripheral eosinophilia is linked to both ILC2 and myeloid IL-33 signaling. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the importance of IL-33-activated ILC2s in mediating RSV-triggered AHR and eosinophilia. In addition, IL-33 signaling in myeloid cells is crucial for airway inflammation.

[PMID: 31669588 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2019.172760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2019] [Revised: 10/18/2019] [Accepted: 10/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Mast Cells (MCs) are critical for allergic reactions but also play important roles in inflammation, following stimulation by non-allergic triggers such as cytokines. Upon stimulation, MCs secrete numerous newly synthesized mediators, but the mechanism of the release of chemokines, which are important in the pathogenesis of allergic and inflammatory diseases, remains unknown. IL-33 is an "alarmin", known to augment allergic stimulation of MCs, but its effect on the release of chemokines is not known. The present work investigated the action of IL-33 on the release of the chemokines CCL5 and CCL2 from human MCs, as well as the inhibitory effect of the flavonoid 3',4',5,7-tetramethoxyflavone (methoxyluteolin). Stimulation of cultured human MCs (LAD2) and primary MCs (hCBMCs) by IL-33 (1-100 ng/ml) increased the gene expression and the release of CCL5 (P < 0.0001) and CCL2 (P < 0.01). Stimulation with IL-33 (10 ng/ml) activated MAPK components, as shown by phosphorylation of p38α MAPK, JNK, and c-Jun using Western blot analysis. Inhibition of these responses by known inhibitors confirmed that CCL5 and CCL2 are stimulated by the activation of p38α MAPK, JNK, and IκB-α. The gene expression and the release of CCL5 and CCL2 stimulated by IL-33 were significantly inhibited by 2 h pre-treatment with methoxyluteolin (10, 50, 100 μM). The inhibition by methoxyluteolin (50 μM) was not mediated via MAPK inhibition as phosphorylated p38α MAPK and JNK expression were not affected. In conclusion, IL-33 plays an important role in chemokine release from human MCs and that is by activation of more than one signaling pathway. The inhibitory effect of methoxyluteolin may indicate that it can be developed as a novel treatment for inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Initiation of the innate sterile inflammatory response that can develop in response to microparticle exposure is little understood. Here, we report that a potent type 2 immune response associated with the accumulation of neutrophils, eosinophils and alternatively activated (M2) macrophages was observed in response to sterile microparticles similar in size to wear debris associated with prosthetic implants. Although elevations in interleukin-33 (IL-33) and type 2 cytokines occurred independently of caspase-1 inflammasome signalling, the response was dependent on Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). IL-33 was produced by macrophages and BTK-dependent expression of IL-33 by macrophages was sufficient to initiate the type 2 response. Analysis of inflammation in patient periprosthetic tissue also revealed type 2 responses under aseptic conditions in patients undergoing revision surgery. These findings indicate that microparticle-induced sterile inflammation is initiated by macrophages activated to produce IL-33. They further suggest that both BTK and IL-33 may provide therapeutic targets for wear debris-induced periprosthetic inflammation.

Abstract
Inflammatory airway disease, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a major health burden worldwide. These diseases cause large numbers of deaths each year due to airway obstruction, which is exacerbated by respiratory viral infection. The inflammatory response in the airway is mediated in part through the MAPK pathways: p38, JNK and ERK. These pathways also have roles in interferon production, viral replication, mucus production, and T cell responses, all of which are important processes in inflammatory airway disease. Dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) are known to regulate the MAPKs, and roles for this family of proteins in the pathogenesis of airway disease are emerging. This review summarizes the function of DUSPs in regulation of cytokine expression, mucin production, and viral replication in the airway. The central role of DUSPs in T cell responses, including T cell activation, differentiation, and proliferation, will also be highlighted. In addition, the importance of this protein family in the lung, and the necessity of further investigation into their roles in airway disease, will be discussed.

Abstract
Objectives The present study was committed to investigate the role of miR‐148a‐3p in HCC infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the regulatory mechanism of miR‐148a‐3p/c‐Jun/MAPK signalling pathway. Methods Differential analysis and GSEA analysis were performed with R packages. QRT‐PCR and Western blot were used to detect RNA or protein level, respectively. The targeted relationship between miR‐148a‐3p and c‐Jun was predicted by TargetScan database and determined by double luciferase reporter assay. MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to evaluate cell proliferation, cell cycle and cell apoptosis, respectively. Results C‐Jun was up‐regulated, and MAPK signalling pathway was activated in HCV‐infected HCC cells. C‐Jun expression regulated inflammation‐related gene expression and had an influence on cell proliferation, cell cycle and cell apoptosis. MiR‐148a‐3p, down‐regulated in HCV‐infected HCC cells, could target c‐Jun mRNA to suppress c‐Jun protein expression. Conclusions MiR‐148a‐3p suppressed the proliferation of HCC cells infected with HCV through targeting c‐Jun mRNA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a cytokine belonging to the IL-1 family, and its possible involvement in the pathophysiology of COPD and viral-induced exacerbations has been demonstrated. IL-33 has been shown to be increased in the airway epithelial cells from COPD patients, but the regulating mechanism of IL-33 expression in airway epithelial cells remains largely unknown. In the current study, we examined whether oxidative stress, which participates in the pathogenesis of COPD, affects the expression of IL-33 in airway epithelial cells and also evaluated the effect during viral infection. METHODS The involvement of oxidative stress in the expression of IL-33, and its signal pathway was examined after stimulation with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), with or without stimulation by polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly (I:C)], a synthetic analogue of dsRNA that mimics viral infection, or rhinovirus infection in NCI-H292 cells and primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). In addition, the effect of antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in the expression of IL-33 was compared between HBECs from healthy subjects and those from COPD patients. RESULTS Treatment with H2O2 significantly potentiated IL-33 expression in NCI-H292 cells, and the potentiation was reversed by NAC treatment. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors, but not nuclear factor-kappa B inhibitors, also significantly decreased the H2O2-potentiated IL-33 expression. In addition, H2O2 significantly potentiated the poly (I:C)- or rhinovirus-stimulated IL-33 expression. In HBECs from healthy subjects, H2O2-potentiated IL-33 expression and its reversal by NAC was also confirmed. Under the condition without H2O2-stimulation, treatment with NAC significantly decreased the expression of IL-33 in HBECs from COPD patients, but not in those from healthy subjects. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that oxidative stress involves in the expression of IL-33 in airway epithelial cells via MAPK signal pathway and it augments IL-33 expression during viral infection. This mechanism may participate in the regulation of IL-33 expression in airway epithelial cells in COPD and the viral-induced exacerbations. Modulation of this pathway could become a therapeutic target for viral-induced exacerbations of COPD.
