The mechanisms that drive ASM proliferation in asthma are not entirely elucidated. Ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase (TET) is an enzyme that participates in the regulation of DNA methylation by catalyzing the hydroxylation of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC). The generation of 5-hmC disinhibits the gene silencing effect of 5-mC. In this study, TET1 activity and protein were enhanced in asthmatic human ASM cell cultures. Moreover, the concentration of 5-hmC was higher in asthmatic ASM cells than in nonasthmatic ASM cells. Knockdown (KD) of TET1, but not TET2, reduced the concentration of 5-hmC in asthmatic cells. Because the cytoskeletal protein nestin controls cell proliferation by modulating mTOR, we evaluated the effects of TET1 KD on this pathway. TET1 KD reduced nestin expression in ASM cells. In addition, TET1 inhibition alleviated the platelet-derived growth factor-induced phosphorylation of p70S6K, 4E-BP, S6, and Akt. TET1 inhibition also attenuated the proliferation of ASM cells. Taken together, these results suggest that TET1 drives ASM proliferation via the nestin-mTOR axis.","PeriodicalId":7655,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141305220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated the hypothesis that neonatal exposure to hyperoxia leads to persistent BPD phenotype caused by decreased expression of liver kinase B1 (LKB1), a key regulator of mitochondrial function. We exposed mouse pups from Postnatal Day (P)1 through P10 to 21% or 75% oxygen. Half of the pups in each group received metformin or saline intraperitoneally from P1 to P10. Pups were killed at P4 or P10 or recovered in 21% O2 until euthanasia at P21. Lung histology and morphometry, immunofluorescence, and immunoblots were performed to detect changes in lung structure and expression of LKB1; downstream targets AMPK, PGC-1α, and electron transport chain (ETC) complexes; and Notch ligands Jagged 1 and delta-like 4. LKB1 signaling and in vitro angiogenesis were assessed in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (exposed to 21% or 95% O2 for 36 hours. Levels of LKB1, phosphorylated AMPK, PGC-1α, and ETC complexes were decreased in lungs at P10 and P21 in hyperoxia. Metformin increased LKB1, phosphorylated AMPK, PGC-1α, and ETC complexes at P10 and P21 in pups exposed to hyperoxia. Radial alveolar count was decreased, and mean linear intercept increased in pups exposed to hyperoxia at P10 and P21; these were improved by metformin. Lung capillary density was decreased in hyperoxia at P10 and P21 and was increased by metformin. In vitro angiogenesis was decreased in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells by 95% O2 and was improved by metformin. Decreased LKB1 signaling may contribute to decreased alveolar and vascular growth in a mouse model of BPD.","PeriodicalId":7655,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141309345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inflammation plays a role in the pathophysiology, the extent of which remains a longstanding topic of debate. More recently, there has been increasing interest in a potential inciting role for aberrant lipid metabolism. Lipids are essential for the structure and function of all cell membranes, but specifically in the lung for surfactant composition, intra- and intercellular lipid mediators, and lipofibroblasts. Clinically, there is evidence of increased lipid deposition in the subpleural space and at a whole-lung tissue level in PF. There is evidence of increased parenchymal lipid deposition and abnormal mediastinal fat shape on chest computed tomography. A protective role for cholesterol-lowering drugs, including statins and ezetimibe, has been described in PF. At a cellular level, fatty acid, phospholipid, and glucose metabolism are disordered, as is the production of lipid mediators. Here we put forward the argument that there is substantive clinical and biological evidence to support a role for aberrant lipid metabolism and lipid mediators in the pathogenesis of PF.","PeriodicalId":7655,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141183398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The endothelium performs the bidirectional signaling between the blood and tissue compartments that is necessary to maintain homeostasis while physically separating both, facilitating a tightly regulated exchange of water, solutes, cells, and signals. Disruption in endothelial function contributes to vascular disease, which can manifest in discrete vascular locations along the artery-to-capillary-to-vein axis. Although our understanding of mechanisms that contribute to endothelial cell injury and repair in acute and chronic vascular disease have advanced, pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie site-specific vascular disease remain incompletely understood.
