    Abstract Oxidative stress (OS) in the airway epithelium is associated with cell damage, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction that may initiate or worsen respiratory disease. However, it is unclear whether exogenous antioxidants can provide protection to the airway epithelium from OS. Resveratrol and astaxanthin are nutritional compounds that have shown diverse benefits including protection against OS and inflammation in various situations. The aim of this study was to examine the utility of pre-treatment with resveratrol and astaxanthin to prevent the negative effects of oxidant exposure and restore redox homeostasis in a well-differentiated epithelium grown from primary human nasal epithelial cells (NECs) at the air-liquid interface. Fully differentiated NECs were pretreated with the antioxidants for 24 hours and the cultured epithelia was subsequently exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H

    Abstract Oxidative stress (OS) in the airway epithelium is associated with inflammation, cell damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction that may initiate or worsen respiratory disease. Redox regulation maintains the equilibrium of pro-oxidant/antioxidant reactions but can be disturbed by environmental exposures. The mechanism(s) underlying the induction and impact of OS on airway epithelium and how these influences on respiratory disease is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to develop a stress response model in primary human nasal epithelial cells (NECs) grown at the air-liquid interface (ALI) into a well-differentiated epithelium and to use this model to investigate the mechanisms underlying OS.

    Abstract IFN treatment may be a viable option for treating COPD exacerbations based on evidence of IFN deficiency in COPD. However, in vitro studies have used primarily influenza and rhinoviruses to investigate IFN responses. This study aims to investigate the susceptibility to infection and IFN response of primary bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) from COPD donors to infection with RSV and hMPV. BECs from five COPD and five healthy donors were used to establish both submerged monolayer and well-differentiated (WD) cultures. Two isolates of both RSV and hMPV were used to infect cells. COPD was not associated with elevated susceptibility to infection and there was no evidence of an intrinsic defect in IFN production in either cell model to either virus. Conversely, COPD was associated with significantly elevated IFN-β production in response to both viruses in both cell models. Only in WD-BECs infected with RSV was elevated IFN-β associated with reduced viral shedding. The role of elevated epithelial cell IFN-β production in the pathogenesis of COPD is not clear and warrants further investigation. Viruses vary in the responses that they induce in BECs, and so conclusions regarding antiviral responses associated with disease cannot be made based on single viral infections.

    Abstract Background: Azithromycin (AZM) is widely being used for treating patients with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) following clinical trials demonstrating improved lung function and fewer incidents of pulmonary exacerba-tions. While the precise mechanisms remain elusive, immunomodulatory actions are thought to be involved. We previously reported impaired phagocytosis and defective anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage polarization in CF. This study systematically analyzed the effect of AZM on the functions of unpolarized and M1/M2 polarized macrophages in CF.
    Methods: Monocytes, isolated from the venous blood of patients with CF (pwCF) and healthy controls (HCs), were differentiated into monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) and subsequently infected with
    Results: Following AZM treatment, both HC and CF MDMs exhibited a significant increase in
    Conclusions: This study highlights the cellular functions and molecular targets of AZM which may involve an improved uptake of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, restored anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization in CF. This may in turn shape the reduced lung inflammation observed in clinical trials. In addition, we confirmed the role of ERK1/2 activation for bacterial uptake.

    Abstract Background: Exaggerated neutrophil-dominated inflammation underlies progressive cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. Older studies reported a defective respiratory burst in CF, but more recent studies suggest neutrophil function is normal.
    Methods: We measured the amount and rate of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during PMA-stimulated respiratory burst activity in children [70 CF, 13 disease controls, 19 health controls] and adults [31 CF, 14 health controls] in neutrophils harvested from peripheral blood. Blood was collected from participants with CF when clinically stable (60 children, 9 adults) and on hospital admission (38 children, 24 adults) and discharge (18 children, 21 adults) for acute pulmonary exacerbations.
    Results: When clinically stable, children with CF had lower ROS production [median 318,633, 25% 136,810 - 75% 569,523 RLU] than disease controls [median 599,459, 25% 425,566 - 75% 730,527 RLU] and healthy controls [median 534,073, 25% 334,057 - 75% 738,593 RLU] (p = 0.008). The rate of ROS production was also lower (p = 0.029). In neither children nor adults with CF did ROS production increase on hospital admission for acute pulmonary exacerbation, nor fall prior to discharge. There were no associations between ROS production and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (indicating systemic inflammation) in either children or adults with CF.
    Conclusions: Our data do not support a role for exaggerated respiratory burst activity contributing to the exaggerated neutrophil-dominated inflammation seen with CF lung disease.

    Abstract The nasal epithelium is the initial contact between the external environment and the respiratory tract and how it responds to noxious stimuli and repairs epithelial damage is important. Growing airway epithelial cells in culture at air-liquid interface allows for a physiologically relevant model of the human upper airways. The aim of the present study was to characterize human primary nasal epithelial cells grown at the air-liquid interface and establish a model for use in wound healing assays. This study determined the time required for full differentiation of nasal epithelial cells in an air-liquid interface culture to be at least 7 weeks using the standardized B-ALI media. Also, a model was established that studied the response to wounding and the effect of EGFR inhibition on this process. Nasal epithelial cultures from healthy subjects were differentiated at air-liquid interface and manually wounded. Wounds were monitored over time to complete closure using a time lapse imaging microscope with cultures identified to have a rate of wound healing above 2.5%/h independent of initial wound size. EGFR inhibition caused the rate of wound healing to drop a significant 4.6%/h with there being no closure of the wound after 48 h. The robust model established in this study will be essential for studying factors influencing wound healing, including host disease status and environmental exposures in the future.

    Abstract Epidemiological evidence links lower air quality with increased incidence and severity of COVID-19; however, mechanistic data have yet to be published. We hypothesized air pollution-induced oxidative stress in the nasal epithelium increased viral replication and inflammation. Nasal epithelial cells (NECs), collected from healthy adults, were grown into a fully differentiated epithelium. NECs were infected with the ancestral strain of SARS-CoV-2. An oxidant combustion by-product found in air pollution, the environmentally persistent free radical (EPFR) DCB230, was used to mimic pollution exposure four hours prior to infection. Some wells were pretreated with antioxidant, astaxanthin, for 24 hours prior to EPFR-DCB230 exposure and/or SARS-CoV-2 infection. Outcomes included viral replication, epithelial integrity, surface receptor expression (
