    Abstract Epithelial mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) is a complex cellular reprogramming event that plays a major role in tissue homeostasis. Recently we observed the unfolded protein response (UPR) triggers EMP through the inositol-requiring protein 1 (IRE1α)-X-box-binding protein 1 spliced (XBP1s) axis, enhancing glucose shunting to protein N glycosylation. To better understand the genomic targets of XBP1s, we identified its genomic targets using Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) of a FLAG-epitope tagged XBP1s in RSV infection. CUT&RUN identified 7086 binding sites in chromatin that were enriched in AP-1 motifs and GC-sequences. Of these binding sites, XBP1s peaks mapped to 4827 genes controlling Rho-GTPase signaling, N-linked glycosylation and ER-Golgi transport. Strikingly, XBP1s peaks were within 1 kb of transcription start sites of 2119 promoters. In addition to binding core mesenchymal transcription factors SNAI1 and ZEB1, we observed that hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) enzymes were induced and contained proximal XBP1s peaks. We demonstrate that IRE1α -XBP1s signaling is necessary and sufficient to activate core enzymes by recruiting elongation-competent phospho-Ser2 CTD modified RNA Pol II. We conclude that the IRE1α-XBP1s pathway coordinately regulates mesenchymal transcription factors and hexosamine biosynthesis in EMP by a mechanism involving recruitment of activated pSer2-Pol II to GC-rich promoters.

    Abstract Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) associated with decreased pulmonary function, asthma, and allergy. Recently, we demonstrated that RSV induces the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway via the unfolded protein response (UPR), which is a pathway controlling protein glycosylation and secretion of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Because the presence of matrix metalloproteinases and matricellular growth factors (TGF) is associated with severe LRTI, we studied the effect of RSV on ECM remodeling and found that RSV enhances the deposition of fibronectin-rich ECM by small airway epithelial cells in a manner highly dependent on the inositol requiring kinase (IRE1α)-XBP1 arm of the UPR. To understand this effect comprehensively, we applied pharmacoproteomics to understand the effect of the UPR on N-glycosylation and ECM secretion in RSV infection. We observe that RSV induces N-glycosylation and the secretion of proteins related to ECM organization, secretion, or proteins integral to plasma membranes, such as integrins, laminins, collagens, and ECM-modifying enzymes, in an IRE1α-XBP1 dependent manner. Using a murine paramyxovirus model that activates the UPR in vivo, we validate the IRE1α-XBP1-dependent secretion of ECM to alveolar space. This study extends understanding of the IRE1α-XBP1 pathway in regulating N-glycosylation coupled to structural remodeling of the epithelial basement membrane in RSV infection.

    Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a lethal disease driven by myofibroblast expansion. Currently no therapies exist that target the epigenetic mechanisms controlling myofibroblast transdifferentiation, which is responsible for unregulated extracellular matrix (ECM) production. We have recently shown that bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4), an epigenetic regulator that forms a scaffold for nuclear activators and transcription factors, is essential for TGFβ-induced myofibroblast transdifferentiation. However, its role in the development and progression of pulmonary fibrosis

    Abstract Repetitive aeroallergen exposure is linked to sensitization and airway remodeling through incompletely understood mechanisms. In this study, we examine the dynamic mucosal response to cat dander extract (CDE), a ubiquitous aero-allergen linked to remodeling, sensitization and asthma. We find that daily exposure of CDE in naïve C57BL/6 mice activates innate neutrophilic inflammation followed by transition to a lymphocytic response associated with waves of mucosal transforming growth factor (TGF) isoform expression. In parallel, enhanced bronchiolar Smad3 expression and accumulation of phospho-SMAD3 was observed, indicating paracrine activation of canonical TGFβR signaling. CDE exposure similarly triggered epithelial cell plasticity, associated with expression of mesenchymal regulatory factors (Snai1 and Zeb1), reduction of epithelial markers (Cdh1) and activation of the NFκB/RelA transcriptional activator. To determine whether NFκB functionally mediates CDE-induced growth factor response, mice were stimulated with CDE in the absence or presence of a selective IKK inhibitor. IKK inhibition substantially reduced the level of CDE-induced TGFβ1 expression, pSMAD3 accumulation, Snai1 and Zeb1 expression. Activation of epithelial plasticity was demonstrated by flow cytometry in whole lung homogenates, where CDE induces accumulation of SMA

    Abstract Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronically progressive interstitial lung that affects over 3 M people worldwide and rising in incidence. With a median survival of 2-3 years, IPF is consequently associated with high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare burden. Although two antifibrotic therapies, pirfenidone and nintedanib, are approved for human use, these agents reduce the rate of decline of pulmonary function but are not curative and do not reverse established fibrosis. In this review, we discuss the prevailing epithelial injury hypothesis, wherein pathogenic airway epithelial cell-state changes known as Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) promotes the expansion of myofibroblast populations. Myofibroblasts are principal components of extracellular matrix production that result in airspace loss and mortality. We review the epigenetic transition driving EMT, a process produced by changes in histone acetylation regulating mesenchymal gene expression programs. This mechanistic work has focused on the central role of bromodomain-containing protein 4 in mediating EMT and myofibroblast transition and initial preclinical work has provided evidence of efficacy. As nanomedicine presents a promising approach to enhancing the efficacy of such anti-IPF agents, we then focus on the state of nanomedicine formulations for inhalable delivery in the treatment of pulmonary diseases, including liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), inorganic NPs, and exosomes. These nanoscale agents potentially provide unique properties to existing pulmonary therapeutics, including controlled release, reduced systemic toxicity, and combination delivery. NP-based approaches for pulmonary delivery thus offer substantial promise to modify epigenetic regulators of EMT and advance treatments for IPF.

    Abstract The combination of doxorubicin (DOX) with sorafenib (SOR) has proven an effective strategy to enhance anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) efficacy. However, respective in vivo pharmacokinetic profiles and different endocytosis capacities of these two drugs greatly hinder their current application. Herein, the tumor-targeting peptide iRGD decorated lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) with a shell-core structure were developed for co-delivery of DOX and SOR (DOX+SOR/iRGD NPs). After the drug ratio was optimized, the stabilized DOX+SOR/iRGD NPs were prepared. Through the iRGD-integrin recognition, DOX+SOR/iRGD NPs showed synergistic cytotoxicity, pro-apoptotic ability and enhanced internalization rate in human liver cancer HepG2 cells. In vivo pharmacokinetic result demonstrated that an extended circulation and bioavailability of DOX+SOR/iRGD NPs than free drugs. More importantly, DOX+SOR/iRGD NPs significantly enhanced antitumor efficiency in HCC xenograft mouse models. Overall, this study describes a promising nanoparticulate drug co-delivery strategy to combine clinical anticancer drugs and enhance anti-HCC efficacy.

    Abstract Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-1 was found to protect the heart from oxidative damage, but clinically its long-term use was restricted for its undesirable proliferating activity on cells. Thus a cluster of amino acids responsible for the proliferation were deleted in the native FGF-1 to create a non-mitogenic FGF-1 (nmFGF-1). Whether the nmFGF-1 protects male germ cells from diabetes-induced apoptotic death was examined in diabetic mice induced with multiple low-doses of streptozotocin, followed by nmFGF-1 treatment for 6 months. Diabetic mice showed a decrease in testicular weight and an increase in apoptotic cell death. Treatment with nmFGF-1 alleviated the diabetic effects on testicular weight and apoptotic cell death. Mechanistically, nmFGF-1 may alleviate diabetes-induced germ cell death by decreasing the BAX/Bcl-2 ratio and endoplasmic reticulum stress as well as associated cell death, which is associated with Nrf-2 activation.

    Abstract Background: Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a life-threatening complication of advanced liver cirrhosis that is characterized by hemodynamic alterations in the kidney and other vascular beds. Cytochrome P(CYP)-450 enzymes metabolize arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids. These eicosanoids regulate blood pressure, vascular tone and renal tubular sodium transport under both physiological and pathophysiological states.
    Methods: Experiments were performed to investigate the role of the CYP system in the pathogenesis of renal dysfunction during cirrhosis. Rats underwent bile duct ligation (BDL) or sham surgery and were studied at 2, 4 and 5 weeks post-surgery. In additional experiments, post-BDL rats were treated with three daily intraperitoneal doses of either the selective epoxygenase inhibitor N-(methylsulfonyl)-2-(2-propynyloxy)-benzenehexanamide (MSPPOH) or a vehicle, starting on Day 22 after surgery.
    Results: BDL led to progressive renal dysfunction that was associated with reduced renal cortical perfusion but without any overt histologic changes, consistent with HRS. CYP isoform enzyme expression was significantly altered in BDL rats. In the kidney, CYP2C23 expression was upregulated at both the mRNA and protein levels in BDL rats, while CYP2C11 was downregulated. Histologically, the changes in CYP2C23 and CYP2C11 expression were localized to the renal tubules. EET production was increased in the kidneys of BDL rats as assessed by urinary eicosanoid levels. Finally, treatment with the selective epoxygenase inhibitor MSPPOH significantly reduced renal function and renal cortical perfusion in BDL rats, suggesting a homeostatic role for epoxygenase-derived eicosanoids.
    Conclusions: The CYP/EET pathway might represent a novel therapeutic target for modulating renal dysfunction in advanced cirrhosis.

    Abstract Aims/hypothesis: The metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk correlates that can progress to type 2 diabetes. The present study aims to evaluate a novel molecule with a dual action against the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
    Methods: We developed and tested a novel dual modulator, RB394, which acts as a soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitor and a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) agonist in rat models of the metabolic syndrome-the obese spontaneously hypertensive (SHROB) rat and the obese diabetic Zucker fatty/spontaneously hypertensive heart failure F1 hybrid (ZSF1) rat. In SHROB rats we studied the ability of RB394 to prevent metabolic syndrome phenotypes, while in ZSF1 obese diabetic rats we compared RB394 with the ACE inhibitor enalapril in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and associated comorbid conditions. RB394 (10 mg/kg daily) and enalapril (10 mg/kg daily) were administered orally for 8 weeks.
    Results: RB394 blunted the development of hypertension, insulin resistance, hyperlipidaemia and kidney injury in SHROB rats and reduced fasting blood glucose and HbA
    Conclusions/interpretation: These findings demonstrate that a novel sHE inhibitor/PPAR-γ agonist molecule targets multiple risk factors of the metabolic syndrome and is a glucose-lowering agent with a strong ability to treat diabetic complications.
