    Abstract The lung parenchyma is comprised of many cells including the structurally important stromal fibroblasts. Fibroblasts function to produce extracellular matrix and are important in the maintenance of alveolar epithelial cells. To understand the role of fibroblasts both in homeostasis and disease, we isolate fibroblasts and grow them in culture. Two methods are presented here for the isolation and maintenance of mouse primary lung fibroblasts.

    Abstract The advent of micro-computed tomography (microCT) has provided significant advancement in our ability to generate clinically relevant assessments of lung health and disease in small animal models. As microCT use to generate outcomes analysis in pulmonary preclinical models has increased there have been substantial improvements in image quality and resolution, and data analysis software. However, there are limited published methods for standardized imaging and automated analysis available for investigators. Manual quantitative analysis of microCT images is complicated by the presence of inflammation and parenchymal disease. To improve the efficiency and limit user-associated bias, we have developed an automated pulmonary air and tissue segmentation (PATS) task list to segment lung air volume and lung tissue volume for quantitative analysis. We demonstrate the effective use of the PATS task list using four distinct methods for imaging, 1) in vivo respiration controlled scanning using a flexiVent, 2) longitudinal breath-gated in vivo scanning in resolving and non-resolving pulmonary disease initiated by lipopolysaccharide-, bleomycin-, and silica-exposure, 3) post-mortem imaging, and 4) ex vivo high-resolution scanning. The accuracy of the PATS task list was compared to manual segmentation. The use of these imaging techniques and automated quantification methodology across multiple models of lung injury and fibrosis demonstrates the broad applicability and adaptability of microCT to various lung diseases and small animal models and presents a significant advance in efficiency and standardization of preclinical microCT imaging and analysis for the field of pulmonary research.

    Abstract Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a life-threatening, rare lung syndrome for which there is no cure and no approved therapies. PAP is a disease of lipid accumulation characterized by alveolar macrophage foam cell formation. While much is known about the clinical presentation, there is a paucity of information regarding temporal changes in lipids throughout the course of disease. Our objectives were to define the detailed lipid composition of alveolar macrophages in PAP patients at the time of diagnosis and during treatment. We performed comprehensive mass spectrometry to profile the lipid signature of alveolar macrophages obtained from three independent mouse models of PAP and from PAP and non-PAP patients. Additionally, we quantified changes in macrophage-associated lipids during clinical treatment of PAP patients. We found remarkable variations in lipid composition in PAP patients, which were consistent with data from three independent mouse models. Detailed lipidomic analysis revealed that the overall alveolar macrophage lipid burden inversely correlated with clinical improvement and response to therapy in PAP patients. Specifically, as PAP patients experienced clinical improvement, there was a notable decrease in the total lipid content of alveolar macrophages. This crucial observation suggests that the levels of these macrophage-associated lipids can be utilized to assess the efficacy of treatment. These findings provide valuable insights into the dysregulated lipid metabolism associated with PAP, offering the potential for lipid profiling to serve as a means of monitoring therapeutic interventions in PAP patients.

    Abstract Patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILDs) carry a poor prognosis and have limited therapeutic options. A hallmark feature is fibroblast resistance to apoptosis, leading to their persistence, accumulation, and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix. A complex balance of the B cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) protein family controlling the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis and fibroblast reliance on antiapoptotic proteins has been hypothesized to contribute to this resistant phenotype. Examination of lung tissue from patients with PF-ILD (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and silicosis) and mice with PF-ILD (repetitive bleomycin and silicosis) showed increased expression of antiapoptotic BCL-2 family members in α-smooth muscle actin-positive fibroblasts, suggesting that fibroblasts from fibrotic lungs may exhibit increased susceptibility to inhibition of antiapoptotic BCL-2 family members BCL-2, BCL-XL, and BCL-W with the BH3 mimetic ABT-263. We used 2 murine models of PF-ILD to test the efficacy of ABT-263 in reversing established persistent pulmonary fibrosis. Treatment with ABT-263 induced fibroblast apoptosis, decreased fibroblast numbers, and reduced lung collagen levels, radiographic disease, and histologically evident fibrosis. Our studies provide insight into how fibroblasts gain resistance to apoptosis and become sensitive to the therapeutic inhibition of antiapoptotic proteins. By targeting profibrotic fibroblasts, ABT-263 offers a promising therapeutic option for PF-ILDs.
