We now sought to investigate whether and how TLOs in these mice may play a pathogenic role in lung injury that is relevant to human disease. We found that inhibiting TLO formation using an anti-CD20 antibody in CLEC2-deficient mice partially blocked the development of emphysema. TLOs in CLEC2-deficient mice were rich in plasma cells and were a source of a broad array of autoantibodies. Chronic cigarette smoke exposure increased the size and number of lung TLOs in CLEC2-deficient mice and was associated with increased markers of antigen presentation and maturation, leading to increased autoantibody deposition.

Presently, no biological or radiological markers are available for quantifying pulmonary edema. Our aim was to phenotype pulmonary edema and pulmonary vascular permeability in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ARDS. Transpulmonary thermodilution measurements were conducted in 65 patients with COVID-19 ARDS on the day of intubation to determine the extravascular lung water index (EVLWi) and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPi). In parallel, ventilatory parameters, clinical outcomes, the volume of lung opacity measured by chest computed tomography (CT), radiographic assessment of lung edema (RALE) score by chest radiography, and plasma proteomics (358 unique proteins) were compared between tertiles based on the EVLWi and PVPi. Regression models were used to associate EVLWi and PVPi with plasma, radiological, and clinical parameters. Computational pathway analysis was performed on significant plasma proteins in the regression models. Patients with the highest EVLWi values at intubation exhibited poorer oxygenation parameters and more days on the ventilator. Extravascular lung water strongly correlated with the total volume of opacity observed on CT (<i>r</i> = 0.72, <i>P</i> < 0.001), whereas the PVPi had weaker associations with clinical and radiological parameters. Extravascular lung water did not correlate with the RALE score (<i>r</i> = 0.15, <i>P</i> = 0.33). Plasma protein concentrations demonstrated a stronger correlation with PVPi than with EVLWi. The highest tertile of PVPi was associated with proteins linked to the acute phase response (cytokine and chemokine signaling) and extracellular matrix turnover.

Benign cells sense the extracellular environment with the primary cilium (PC) and its molecular complex, the Bardet-Biedl syndrome family of proteins (BBSome), is critical for this process. Here we aimed to assess the changes in BBSome gene expression in ordinary two-dimensional (2-D) and spheroid three-dimensional (3-D) cell cultures after incubation with pleural effusion fluids (PFs) of several etiologies. The benign human mesothelial cells (MeT-5A) were incubated with PF from patients with mesothelioma (Meso-PF), breast cancer (BrCa-PF), hemothorax (Hemo-PF), and congestive heart failure (CHF-PF). Gene expression of <i>BBS1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9,</i> and <i>18</i> was assessed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) to monitor PF-induced gene expression changes. MeT-5A cell migration using the PC-modulating drugs ammonium sulfate (AS) and lithium chloride (LC) during PF incubation was also determined. BBSome gene expression upon influence of BrCa-PF and Hemo-PF was more pronounced in 2-D compared with 3-D, inducing global changes in 2-D. CHF-PF and Meso-PF also induced changes in 2-D but not as many, while in all cases, MeT-5A grown in 3-D were more resistant to the effects of the PF. Meso-PF decreased 2-D cell migration, while the disturbance of PC in all PF cases resulted in decreased cell migration. These data suggest distinct BBSome molecular profile changes in benign mesothelial cells exposed to malignant and benign PF that is different in each case, in both 2-D and 3-D. Cell migration is sensitive to drug disturbance with PC modulators in PF-exposed cells.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> Studying mesothelial PC in pleural physiology and pathophysiology is at an early stage. Previously, we have highlighted the role of the PC in mesothelial cell phenotypes as well as the role of BBSome components in the context of benign and malignant mesothelial cell physiology. Here we extended our contributions by providing evidence on the BBSome changes induced in benign mesothelial cells by their exposure to different etiology PFs.</p>","PeriodicalId":7593,"journal":{"name":"American journal of physiology.

Though the mechanisms are poorly understood, fibrosis is increasingly linked with catecholamines such as adrenaline (AD) and noradrenaline (NA) and hormones such as aldosterone (ALD). The essential functions of the adrenal glands include the production of catecholamines and numerous hormones, but the contribution of adrenal glands to lung fibrosis remains less well studied. Here, we characterized the impact of surgical adrenal ablation in the bleomycin model of lung fibrosis. Wild-type mice underwent surgical adrenalectomy or sham surgery followed by bleomycin administration. We found that although bleomycin-induced collagen overdeposition in the lung was not affected by adrenalectomy, histologic indices of lung remodeling were ameliorated. These findings were accompanied by a decrease of lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and macrophages in lung tissues, along with concomitant reductions in alpha-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) and fibronectin. Surgical adrenalectomy completely abrogated AD, not NA, detection in all compartments. Systemic ALD levels were reduced after adrenalectomy, whereas ALD levels in lung tissues remained unaffected. Taken together, these results support the presence of a pulmonary-adrenal axis in lung fibrosis and suggest that adrenalectomy is protective in this disease. Further investigation will be needed to better understand this observation and aid in the development of novel therapeutic strategies.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> The lung-adrenal axis plays a significant role in pulmonary fibrosis. Adrenalectomy provides protection against lung fibrotic ECM remodeling and lung inflammation by reducing the levels of lymphocytes in BAL and macrophages in lung of bleomycin-treated mice. Although compared with sham surgery, adrenalectomy raised collagen concentration in uninjured mice, there was no discernible difference in bleomycin-induced collagen accumulation. However, adrenalectomy significantly reversed the enhanced expression and colocalization of αSMA and fibronectin induced by bleomycin.</p>","PeriodicalId":7593,"journal":{"name":"American journal of physiology.
