Abstract
Children and young adults with mutant forms of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a kinase involved in DNA damage signaling and mitochondrial homeostasis, suffer from recurrent respiratory infections, immune deficiencies, and obstructive airways disease associated with disorganized airway epithelium. We previously showed in mice how Atm was required to mount a protective immune memory response to influenza A virus [IAV; Hong Kong/X31 (HKx31), H3N2]. Here, Atm wildtype (WT) and knockout (Atm-null) mice were used to investigate how Atm is required to regenerate the injured airway epithelium following IAV infection. When compared with WT mice, naive Atm-null mice had increased airway resistance and reduced lung compliance that worsened during infection before returning to naïve levels by 56 days postinfection (dpi). Although Atm-null lungs appeared pathologically normal before infection by histology, they developed an abnormal proximal airway epithelium after infection that contained E-cadherin+, Sox2+, and Cyp2f2+ cells lacking secretoglobin family 1 A member 1 (Scgb1a1) protein expression. Patchy and low expression of Scgb1a1 were eventually observed by 56 dpi. Genetic lineage tracing in HKx31-infected mice revealed club cells require Atm to rapidly and efficiently restore Scgb1a1 expression in proximal airways. Since Scgb1a1 is an immunomodulatory protein that protects the lung against a multitude of respiratory challenges, failure to efficiently restore its expression may contribute to the respiratory diseases seen in individuals with ataxia telangiectasia.

Abstract
It is well known that supplemental oxygen used to treat preterm infants in respiratory distress is associated with permanently disrupting lung development and the host response to influenza A virus (IAV). However, many infants who go home with normally functioning lungs are also at risk for hyperreactivity after a respiratory viral infection. We recently reported a new, low-dose hyperoxia mouse model (40% for 8 days; 40x8) that causes a transient change in lung function that resolves, rendering 40x8 adult animals functionally indistinguishable from room air controls. Here we reported that when infected with IAV, 40x8 mice display an early transient activation of TGFβ signaling and later airway hyperreactivity associated with peribronchial inflammation (profibrotic macrophages) and fibrosis compared to infected room air controls, suggesting neonatal oxygen induced hidden molecular changes that prime the lung for hyperreactive airways disease. While searching for potential activators of TGFβ signaling, we discovered that thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is elevated in naïve 40x8 mice compared to controls and localized to lung megakaryocytes and platelets before and during IAV infection. Elevated TSP-1 was also identified in human autopsy samples of former preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. These findings reveal how low doses of oxygen that do not durably change lung function may prime it for hyperreactive airways disease by changing expression of genes, such as TSP-1, thus helping to explain why former preterm infants who have normal lung function are susceptible to airway obstruction and increased morbidity after viral infection.

Deficiency of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated kinase modulates functional and biochemical parameters of the heart in response to Western-type diet. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2021; 320:H2324-H2338. [PMID: 33929897 PMCID: PMC8289354 DOI: 10.1152/ajpheart.00990.2020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2020] [Revised: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 04/14/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase deficiency exacerbates heart dysfunction late after myocardial infarction. Here, we hypothesized that ATM deficiency modulates Western-type diet (WD)-induced cardiac remodeling with an emphasis on functional and biochemical parameters of the heart. Weight gain was assessed in male wild-type (WT) and ATM heterozygous knockout (hKO) mice on weekly basis, whereas cardiac functional and biochemical parameters were measured 14 wk post-WD. hKO-WD mice exhibited rapid body weight gain at weeks 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 versus WT-WD. WD decreased percent fractional shortening and ejection fraction, and increased end-systolic volumes and diameters to a similar extent in both genotypes. However, WD decreased stroke volume, cardiac output, peak velocity of early ventricular filling, and aortic ejection time and increased isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) and Tei index versus WT-NC (normal chow). Conversely, IVRT, isovolumetric contraction time, and Tei index were lower in hKO-WD versus hKO-NC and WT-WD. Myocyte apoptosis and hypertrophy were higher in hKO-WD versus WT-WD. WD increased fibrosis and expression of collagen-1α1, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and MMP-9 in WT. WD enhanced AMPK activation, while decreasing mTOR activation in hKO. Akt and IKK-α/β activation, and Bax, PARP-1, and Glut-4 expression were higher in WT-WD versus WT-NC, whereas NF-κB activation and Glut-4 expression were lower in hKO-WD versus hKO-NC. Circulating concentrations of IL-12(p70), eotaxin, IFN-γ, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α, and MIP-1β were higher in hKO-WD versus WT-WD. Thus, ATM deficiency accelerates weight gain, induces systolic dysfunction with increased preload, and associates with increased apoptosis, hypertrophy, and inflammation in response to WD.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase deficiency in humans associates with enhanced susceptibility to ischemic heart disease. Here, we provide evidence that ATM deficiency accelerates body weight gain and associates with increased cardiac preload, hypertrophy, and apoptosis in mice fed with Western-type diet (WD). Further investigations of the role of ATM deficiency in WD-induced alterations in function and biochemical parameters of the heart may provide clinically applicable information on treatment and/or nutritional counseling for patients with ATM deficiency.

The Role of Respiratory Viruses in Children with Ataxia-Telangiectasia. Viruses 2021; 13:v13050867. [PMID: 34065066 PMCID: PMC8150715 DOI: 10.3390/v13050867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Revised: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The impact of respiratory virus infection in patients diagnosed with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) has not been well studied. Methods: A prospective case control study was performed at a National Reference Unit for Primary Immunodeficiency in Spain (from November 2018 to July 2019), including patients younger than 20 years. Symptom questionnaires and nasopharyngeal swabs from multiple respiratory viruses’ polymerase chain reaction were collected monthly, and between visits in case of symptoms. Results: Twenty-two individuals were included (11 patients; 11 controls); 164 samples were obtained (81 patients; 84 controls). Patients presented respiratory symptoms more frequently compared with controls (26.5% vs. 3.5%; p < 0.01). Viral detection was observed in 23 (27.3%) episodes in patients and in 15 (17.8%) episodes in controls (p = 0.1). Rhinovirus was the most frequent virus in patients and controls (60% and 53.3%, respectively). Episodes with positive viral detection had associated symptoms in 54% of patients and 18% of controls (p = 0.07). However, patients with A-T presented a similar rate of symptoms during episodes with positive and negative viral detection (26% vs. 27%). The median points given for each questionnaire during symptomatic episodes with negative viral detection were 13/23 points, and during symptomatic positive detection, 7.5/23 points (p = 0.1). In the control group, all but two were asymptomatic during positive viral episodes (score: 2/23 and 3/23 points). Symptomatic episodes, with either positive or negative viral detection, were associated with lower IgA and higher IgM titers and higher CD8+ counts (p < 0.05), particularly when these episodes were moderate/severe. Conclusions: Patients with A-T more frequently present symptomatic viral infections than controls, especially those with lower IgA and higher IgM titers and higher CD8+ counts.

Abstract
Limited mitochondria outer membrane permeability (MOMP) is a novel biological process where mammalian cells initiate the intrinsic apoptosis pathway with increased mitochondrial permeability but survive. One of the major consequences of limited MOMP is apoptotic endonuclease-induced DNA double strand breaks. Recent studies indicate that these DNA double stand breaks and ensuing activation of DNA damage response factors such as ATM play important but previously underappreciated roles in carcinogenesis and tumor growth. Furthermore, novel non-canonical roles of DNA repair factors such as ATM in tumor growth and treatment are also emerging. In this review, we try to summarize recent findings on this newly revealed link between DNA double strand break repair and cell death pathways.
