    Abstract Epithelial tissues protecting organs from the environment are the first-line of defense against pathogens. Therefore, efficient repair mechanisms after injury are crucial to maintain epithelial integrity. However, these healing processes can be insufficient to restore epithelial integrity, notably in infectious conditions.

    Abstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by an exacerbated inflammatory response, severe damage to the alveolar-capillary barrier and a secondary infiltration of protein-rich fluid into the airspaces, ultimately leading to respiratory failure. Resolution of ARDS depends on the ability of the alveolar epithelium to reabsorb lung fluid through active transepithelial ion transport, to control the inflammatory response, and to restore a cohesive and functional epithelium through effective repair processes. Interestingly, several lines of evidence have demonstrated the important role of potassium (K

    Abstract The acute exudative phase of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe form of respiratory failure, is characterized by alveolar damage, pulmonary oedema, and an exacerbated inflammatory response. There is no effective treatment for this condition, but based on the major contribution of inflammation, anti-inflammatory strategies have been evaluated in animal models and clinical trials, with conflicting results. In COVID-19 ARDS patients, interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6 receptor antagonists (IL-1Ra and IL-6Ra, kineret and tocilizumab, respectively) have shown some efficacy. Moreover, we have previously developed novel peptides modulating IL-1R and IL-6R activity (rytvela and HSJ633, respectively) while preserving immune vigilance and cytoprotective pathways. We aimed to assess the efficacy of these novel IL-1Ra and IL-6Ra, compared to commercially available drugs (kineret, tocilizumab) during the exudative phase (day 7) of bleomycin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice. Our results first showed that none of the IL-1Ra and IL-6Ra compounds attenuated bleomycin-induced weight loss and venous

    Abstract Studying posttranscriptional regulation is fundamental to understanding the modulation of a given messenger RNA (mRNA) and its impact on cell homeostasis and metabolism. Indeed, fluctuations in transcript expression could modify the translation efficiency and ultimately the cellular activity of a transcript. Several experimental approaches have been developed to investigate the half-life of mRNA although some of these methods have limitations that prevent the proper study of posttranscriptional modulation. A promoter induction system can express a gene of interest under the control of a synthetic tetracycline-regulated promoter. This method allows the half-life estimation of a given mRNA under any experimental condition without disturbing cell homeostasis. One major drawback of this method is the necessity to transfect cells, which limits the use of this technique in isolated primary cells that are highly resistant to conventional transfection techniques. Alveolar epithelial cells in primary culture have been used extensively to study the cellular and molecular biology of the alveolar epithelium. The unique characteristics and phenotype of primary alveolar cells make it essential to study the posttranscriptional modulations of genes of interest in these cells. Therefore, our aim was to develop a novel tool to investigate the posttranscriptional modulations of mRNAs of interest in alveolar epithelial cells in primary culture. We designed a fast and efficient transient transfection protocol to insert a transcriptionally controlled plasmid expression system into primary alveolar epithelial cells. This cloning strategy, using a viral epitope to tag the construct, allows for the easy discrimination of construct expression from that of endogenous mRNAs. Using a modified ΔΔ quantification cycle (Cq) method, the expression of the transcript can then be quantified at different time intervals to measure its half-life. Our data demonstrate the efficiency of this novel approach in studying posttranscriptional regulation in various pathophysiological conditions in primary alveolar epithelial cells.

    Abstract New findings: What is the central question of this study? How does the downregulation of ENaC, the major driving force for alveolar fluid clearance, impact acute lung injury outcomes induced by bleomycin, featuring alveolar damage, as observed during ARDS exudative phase? What is the main finding and its importance? ENaC downregulation in αENaC(-/-)Tg+ mice did not elicit a substantial worsening impact on the main bleomycin outcomes. In ARDS patients, both ENaC alteration and alveolar damage are observed. Thus, novel therapeutic avenues, favouring alveolar integrity restauration, in addition to lung oedema resolution capacity, mainly driven by ENaC, would be essential.

    Abstract Objectives: Successful recovery from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) can be characterized by minimal presence of symptoms and absence of disease on endoscopy. However, molecular markers of surgical success remain to be characterized. These could allow for better tailoring of perioperative therapy. This study aims to identify novel molecular markers associated with surgery responsive patient.
    Study design: Prospective cohort study.
    Setting: Single academic hospital center.
    Method: One hundred eighteen consecutive patients with CRS at high risk of recurrence after surgery were followed prospectively following ESS in an academic medical center. Symptomatic and endoscopic outcomes were assessed at 4 months, with success rigorously defined subjectively as minimal or no symptoms (no symptom greater than 1 on an ordinal scale of 0-3) and objectively by the absence of nasal polyposis on sinus cavity endoscopy and Lund-Kennedy endoscopic edema score no greater than 1. Samples were obtained at the time of surgery and at 4-month postoperatively. Changes associated with surgery were determined by gene expression profiling using Affymetrix's Clariom S Human HT arrays.
    Results: Successful ESS was characterized by a mild upregulation in Type 1 inflammation, upregulation of cell cycle progression, and epithelial barrier and proliferation-associated genes and pathways. ESS failure was associated to very high levels of Type 1 inflammation along with downregulation of epithelial barrier function and regeneration genes and pathways.
    Conclusion: Successful recovery from ESS involves restoration of epithelial function and regulated activation of Type 1 inflammation. Excessively elevated Type 1 inflammation is associated with epithelial barrier dysfunction.

    Abstract Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) neutrophils fail to eradicate infection despite their massive recruitment into the lung. While studies mostly focus on pathogen clearance by normal density neutrophils in CF, the contribution of low-density neutrophil (LDNs) subpopulations to disease pathogenesis remains unclear.
    Methods: LDNs were isolated from whole blood donations of clinically stable adult CF patients and from healthy donors. LDN proportion and immunophenotype was assessed by flow cytometry. Associations of LDNs with clinical parameters were determined.
    Results: LDN proportion was increased in CF patients' circulation compared with healthy donors. LDNs are a heterogeneous population of both mature and immature cells in CF and in healthy individuals. Moreover, a higher proportion of mature LDN correlates with a gradual decline in lung function and repeated pulmonary exacerbations in CF patients.
    Conclusions: Collectively, our observations suggest that low-density neutrophils are linked to CF pathogenesis and underscore the potential clinical relevance of neutrophil subpopulations in CF.
