To identify ARF6-regulated pathways relevant to PAH, we performed a state-of-the-art proteomic analysis of human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAECs) overexpressing the wildtype, constitutively active, fast-cycling and dominant negative mutants of ARF6. The analysis revealed a novel link of ARF6 with hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), in addition to endocytotic vesicle trafficking, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, oxidative stress and lipid metabolism. Active ARF6 markedly increased expression and activity of HIF-2, critical in PAH, with HIF-1 relatively unaffected. Hypoxic ARF6 activation was a prerequisite for HIF-2 activation and HIF-dependent gene expression in HPAECs, PAH blood-derived late outgrowth endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) and hypoxic mouse lungs <i>in vivo</i>. A novel ARF6 inhibitor, chlortetracycline (CTC), reduced hypoxia-induced HIF-2 activation, proliferation and angiogenesis in HPAECs and reduced HIF-2 expression in lung and heart tissues of hypoxic mice. PAH ECFCs showed elevated expression and activity of ARF6 and HIF2, which was attenuated by CTC, and oral CTC attenuated development of PH in chronically hypoxic mice. We identify epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as a direct interactor of ARF6, and EGFR signalling as a crucial mechanism linking ARF6 and HIF activation. In conclusion, we are first to demonstrate a key role of ARF6 in the regulation of HIF-2α activation <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> and show that HIF-2α, a master-regulator of vascular remodelling in PAH, can be targeted by a clinically approved antibiotic chlortetracycline.</p>","PeriodicalId":7655,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142646690","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}

SPREADs maintain homeostasis in non-pulmonary epithelia, but it is unknown whether they play a role in the airway epithelium or are dysregulated in inflammatory disease. To address these questions, we measured SPREAD activity with live-cell ERK biosensors in human bronchial epithelial cell lines (HBE1 and 16HBE) and primary human bronchial epithelial (pHBE) cells, in both submerged and biphasic Air-Liquid Interface (ALI) culture conditions (i.e., differentiated cells). Airway epithelial cells were exposed to pro-inflammatory cytokines relevant to asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Type 1 pro-inflammatory cytokines significantly increased the frequency of SPREADs, which coincided with epithelial barrier breakdown in differentiated pHBE cells. Furthermore, SPREADs correlated with IL-6 peptide secretion and the appearance of localized clusters of phospho-STAT3 immunofluorescence. To probe the mechanism of SPREADs, cells were co-treated with pharmacological treatments (gefitinib, tocilizumab, hydrocortisone) or metabolic modulators (insulin, 2-deoxyglucose). Hydrocortisone, inhibitors of receptor signaling, and suppression of metabolic function decreased SPREAD occurrence, implying that pro-inflammatory cytokines and glucose metabolism modulate SPREADs in human airway epithelial cells via secreted EGFR and IL6R ligands. We conclude that spatiotemporal ERK signaling plays a role in barrier homeostasis and dysfunction during inflammation of the airway epithelium. This novel signaling mechanism could be exploited clinically to supplement corticosteroid treatment for asthma and COPD.

We previously showed that transgenic mice expressing a naturally occurring polymorphism of the antioxidant enzyme extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD), are protected against <i>Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)</i> pneumonia, acute lung injury, and pulmonary neutrophilia. In this mouse strain, an R213G amino acid substitution leads to lower tissue binding affinity and elevated alveolar and plasma EC-SOD levels, though the redox-regulated mechanisms responsible for protection against S. aureus are not yet elucidated. Neutrophils are recruited to the areas of injury and inflammation, in part by activated platelets, which contain multiple redox-sensitive targets.

We demonstrate that, compared to WT mice with <i>S. aureus</i> pneumonia, platelet activation, formation of platelet-neutrophil aggregates (PNAs), and influx of neutrophils and PNAs into the lung are decreased in the infected R213G mice. Furthermore, pre-treatment with a MnTE-2-PyP SOD mimetic protects against S. aureus-induced platelet activation, pulmonary neutrophilia, and acute lung injury.
