The complex pathophysiology of sepsis is associated with pro- and anti-inflammatory response, a pro-coagulant state, endothelial dysfunction and tissue hypoxia. These mechanisms lead to progressive multi organ failure. Although this is a systemic process, the pathophysiological of sepsis differs from organ to organ, and from organ to peripheral blood. Our hypothesis to explain this compartmentalization of responses is a distinct population of resident tissue macrophages, as well as a distinct migration of monocytes in target organ. Indeed, the macrophages and monocytes can start the clinical syndrome of sepsis via transcription of genes involved in inflammation. Moreover, macrophages can induce endothelial injury by release reactive oxygen species. Also hypoxia decreases expression of M1 polarization markers and increases the M2 marker. Identification of biomarkers related to specific organs (beyond the blood) will improve the understanding specific organ failure. In this way, the aim of this study was compared to the systemic inflammatory response with the lung and the liver, two organs most affected during sepsis as well as understanding the role of macrophages in this compartmentalization.

Indeed, there are increase in CCL2 and its receptor CCR2 in the lung compared to the liver, whereas in the liver rather a decrease in the expression of CX3CL1/CX3CR1, that is not altered in the lung.

The uses of freshly isolated macrophages are hampered by limited quantities or difficult access to human donors. Indeed, research on AM is often restricted to cells differentiated in vitro from bone-marrow progenitors or blood monocytes; however, such cells do not present the specific features of tissue-specialized macrophages, like AM. To overcome these issues, Max Planck Institute (MPI) cells were characterized as a nontransformed, self-renewing AM-like macrophage murine model. Yet, MPI cannot fully reproduce AM characteristics because they developed outside the alveolar niche. To optimize the primary cell cultures of mouse AM (mAM), recent works have proposed strategies to expand and maintain these cells <em>ex vivo</em> from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). The functional impact of the amplification process is unclear. Moreover, the heterogeneity of AM population, which is constantly remodeled during the lifespan, is poorly recapitulated in laboratory mice, therefore limiting extrapolation of mAM physiopathology to human.

The most common mutation F508del-CFTR, leads to the absence and malfunction of CFTR at the surface of epithelial cells in various organs especially in lungs. It results in the loss of the mucus clearance properties in the airways, which will cause the obstruction of bronchi and alveola over time.

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling has been implicated in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis, in particular in the regulation of fibroblast to myofibroblast transition (FMT), cell proliferation, and extracellular matrix production. However, individual FGF family members may exert pro- and anti-fibrotic effects, depending on the responding cell, the expression levels of the different FGF receptors (FGFR1-4) and the context of other signaling molecules, such as Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β). In order to better understand the complex functions of FGFs on pulmonary fibrosis, we evaluated the effect of a modified version of a FGFR3 decoy receptor <span>[1]</span> that specifically sequesters FGFR3 ligands including FGF1, FGF2 and FGF9 as a potential anti-fibrotic drug.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>The effect of several FGFs in the presence or the absence of the FGFR3 ligand Trap was evaluated in vitro on human lung fibroblasts from healthy donors and IPF patients on various fibrotic parameters such as cell proliferation, cell contraction, production of extracellular matrix (ECM) and modulation of signaling pathways. The effect of the FGFR3 ligand trap was also assessed in vivo on the bleomycin mouse model, by monitoring mice body weight, Ashcroft score, hydroxyproline and soluble collagen content.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Our results revealed that FGFs (mainly FGF2) stimulate fibroblast proliferation, contraction, ECM production and expression of various fibrotic markers such as chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), interleukin 6 (IL6), interleukin receptor 4 (IL4R) or ECM-related genes like fibronectin (FN1). The FGFR3 ligands Trap was able to reduce this FGF mediated pro-fibrotic phenotype and to desensitize the TGF-β canonical pathway in IPF cells. In the bleomycin lung fibrosis mouse model, the FGFR3 ligands Trap partially reversed lung fibrosis, as evidenced by a reduced body weight loss as well as diminution of the aschcroft score, hydroxyproline and soluble collagen content in lung samples.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Our data highlight the interplay between the TGF-β and the FGF signaling pathways in pulmonary fibrosis and demonstrate the potential of targeting FGFR3 signaling as a novel therapy for IPF.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21548,"journal":{"name":"Revue des maladies respiratoires","volume":"41 3","pages":"Page 216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140160420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
