    Abstract Over the last years, the use of peripheral blood-derived big datasets in combination with machine learning technology has accelerated the understanding, prediction, and management of pulmonary and critical care conditions. The goal of this article is to provide readers with an introduction to the methods and applications of blood omics and other multiplex-based technologies in the pulmonary and critical care medicine setting to better appreciate the current literature in the field. To accomplish that, we provide essential concepts needed to rationalize this approach and introduce readers to the types of molecules that can be obtained from the circulating blood to generate big datasets; elaborate on the differences between bulk, sorted, and single-cell approaches; and the basic analytical pipelines required for clinical interpretation. Examples of peripheral blood-derived big datasets used in recent literature are presented, and limitations of that technology are highlighted to qualify both the current and future value of these methodologies.

    Abstract Skeletal muscle dysfunction is a major comorbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other pulmonary conditions. Chronic CO 2 retention, or hypercapnia, also occur in some of these patients. Both muscle dysfunction and hypercapnia associate with higher mortality in these populations. Over the last years, we have established a mechanistic link between hypercapnia and skeletal muscle dysfunction, which is regulated by AMPK and causes depressed anabolism via reduced ribosomal biogenesis and accelerated catabolism via proteasomal degradation. In this review, we discuss the main findings linking AMPK with hypercapnic pulmonary disease both in the lungs and skeletal muscles, and also outline potential avenues for future research in the area based on knowledge gaps and opportunities to expand mechanistic research with translational implications.

    Abstract We recently reported the COVID-19-induced circulating leukocytes DNA methylation profile. Here, we hypothesized that some of these genes would persist differentially methylated after disease resolution. Fifteen participants previously hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 infection were epityped one year after discharge. Of the 1505 acute illness-induced differentially methylated regions (DMRs) previously identified, we found 71 regions with persisted differentially methylated, with an average of 7 serial CpG positions per DMR. Sixty-four DMRs persisted hypermethylated, and 7 DMR persisted hypomethylated. These data are the first reported evidence that DNA methylation changes in circulating leukocytes endure long after recovery from acute illness.

    Abstract The oxidant hydrogen peroxide serves as a signaling molecule that alters many aspects of cardiovascular functions. Recent studies suggest that cytoglobin - a hemoglobin expressed in the vasculature - may promote electron transfer reactions with proposed functions in hydrogen peroxide decomposition. Here, we determined the extent to which cytoglobin regulates intracellular hydrogen peroxide and established mechanisms. We found that cytoglobin decreased the hyperoxidation of peroxiredoxins and maintained the activity of peroxiredoxin 2 following challenge with exogenous hydrogen peroxide. Cytoglobin promoted a reduced intracellular environment and facilitated the reduction of the thiol-based hydrogen peroxide sensor Hyper7 after bolus addition of hydrogen peroxide. Cytoglobin also limited the inhibitory effect of hydrogen peroxide on glycolysis and reversed the oxidative inactivation of the glycolytic enzyme GAPDH. Our results indicate that cytoglobin in cells exists primarily as oxyferrous cytoglobin (CygbFe

    Abstract Cartilage acidic protein-1 (CRTAC1) is produced by several cell types, including Type 2 alveolar epithelial (T2AE) cells that are targeted by SARS-CoV2. Plasma CRTAC1 is known based on proteomic surveys to be low in patients with severe COVID-19. Using an ELISA, we found that patients treated for COVID-19 in an ICU almost uniformly had plasma concentrations of CRTAC1 below those of healthy controls. Magnitude of decrease in CRTAC1 distinguished COVID-19 from other causes of acute respiratory decompensation and correlated with established metrics of COVID-19 severity. CRTAC1 concentrations below those of controls were found in some patients a year after hospitalization with COVID-19, long COVID after less severe COVID-19, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Decreases in CRTAC1 in severe COVID-19 correlated (r = 0.37, p = 0.0001) with decreases in CFP (properdin), which interacts with CRTAC1. Thus, decreases of CRTAC1 associated with severe COVID-19 may result from loss of production by T2AE cells or co-depletion with CFP. Determination of significance of and reasons behind decreased CRTAC1 concentration in a subset of patients with long COVID will require analysis of roles of preexisting lung disease, impact of prior acute COVID-19, age, and other confounding variables in a larger number of patients.

    Abstract Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-pulmonary emphysema often develop locomotor muscle dysfunction, which entails reduced muscle mass and force-generation capacity and is associated with worse outcomes, including higher mortality. Myogenesis contributes to adult muscle integrity during injury-repair cycles. Injurious events crucially occur in the skeletal muscles of patients with COPD in the setting of exacerbations and infections, which lead to acute decompensations for limited periods of time, after which patients typically fail to recover the baseline status they had before the acute event. Autophagy, which is dysregulated in muscles from patients with COPD, is a key regulator of muscle stem-satellite- cells activation and myogenesis, yet very little research has so far mechanistically investigated the role of autophagy dysregulation in COPD muscles. Using a genetically inducible interleukin-13-driven pulmonary emphysema model leading to muscle dysfunction, and confirmed with a second genetic animal model, we found a significant myogenic dysfunction associated with the reduced proliferative capacity of satellite cells. Transplantation experiments followed by lineage tracing suggest that an intrinsic defect in satellite cells, and not in the COPD environment, plays a dominant role in the observed myogenic dysfunction. RNA sequencing analysis and direct observation of COPD mice satellite cells suggest dysregulated autophagy. Moreover, while autophagy flux experiments with bafilomycin demonstrated deacceleration of autophagosome turnover in COPD mice satellite cells, spermidine-induced autophagy stimulation leads to a higher replication rate and myogenesis in these animals. Our data suggest that pulmonary emphysema causes disrupted myogenesis, which could be improved with stimulation of autophagy and satellite cells activation, leading to an attenuated muscle dysfunction.

    Abstract Identifying novel regulators of vascular smooth muscle cell function is necessary to further understand cardiovascular diseases. We previously identified cytoglobin, a hemoglobin homolog, with myogenic and cytoprotective roles in the vasculature. The specific mechanism of action of cytoglobin is unclear but does not seem to be related to oxygen transport or storage like hemoglobin. Herein, transcriptomic profiling of injured carotid arteries in cytoglobin global knockout mice revealed that cytoglobin deletion accelerated the loss of contractile genes and increased DNA damage. Overall, we show that cytoglobin is actively translocated into the nucleus of vascular smooth muscle cells through a redox signal driven by NOX4. We demonstrate that nuclear cytoglobin heterodimerizes with the non-histone chromatin structural protein HMGB2. Our results are consistent with a previously unknown function by which a non-erythrocytic hemoglobin inhibits DNA damage and regulates gene programs in the vasculature by modulating the genome-wide binding of HMGB2.
