Abstract | Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial-derived pleiotropic cytokine that regulates T-helper 2 (Th2) immune responses in the lung and plays a major role in severe uncontrolled asthma. Emerging evidence suggests a role for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the pathogenesis of asthma. In this study, we determined if ER stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) signalling are involved in TSLP induction in the airway epithelium. For this, we treated human bronchial epithelial basal cells and differentiated primary bronchial epithelial cells with ER stress inducers and the TSLP mRNA and protein expression was determined. A series of siRNA gene knockdown experiments were conducted to determine the ER stress-induced TSLP signalling pathways. cDNA collected from asthmatic bronchial biopsies was used to determine the gene correlation between ER stress and TSLP. Our results show that ER stress signalling induces TSLP mRNA expression via the PERK-CHOP signalling pathway. AP-1 transcription factor is important in regulating this ER stress-induced TSLP mRNA induction, though ER stress alone cannot induce TSLP protein production. However, ER stress significantly enhances TLR3-induced TSLP protein secretion in the airway epithelium. TSLP and ER stress (PERK) mRNA expression positively correlates in bronchial biopsies from participants with asthma, particularly in neutrophilic asthma. In conclusion, these results suggest that ER stress primes TSLP which is then enhanced further upon TLR3 activation, which may induce severe asthma exacerbations. Targeting ER stress using pharmacological interventions may provide novel therapeutics for severe uncontrolled asthma. |
