Role of CD69 in the pathogenesis of elastase-induced pulmonary inflammation and emphysema

چکیده
Cluster of differentiation 69 (CD69), known as an early activation marker of lymphocytes, has been demonstrated to regulate inflammatory events in various disease models. Although the increased number of CD69-expressed T lymphocytes in the lungs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been reported, a functional role of CD69 in the pathogenesis of COPD remains unknown. To address to this question, CD69-deficient (CD69KO) mice and wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to a mouse model of porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE)-induced pulmonary inflammation and emphysema. In the two genotypes, PPE increased counts of macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and induced emphysematous changes in the lung, whereas those two pathological signs were significantly enhanced in CD69KO mice compared to WT mice. Moreover, the PPE-induced levels of IL-17 and IL-6 in BALF were significantly higher in CD69KO mice than in WT mice at the acute inflammatory phase. Immunofluorescent studies showed that IL-17 and IL-6 were predominantly expressed in CD4+ and γδ T cells and macrophages, respectively. Concomitant administration of IL-17- and IL-6-neutralizing antibodies significantly attenuated the PPE-induced emphysematous changes in the two genotypes. These findings suggest that CD69 negatively regulates the development of PPE-induced emphysema in part at least through modulating function of IL-17-producing T cells.

متن کاملRole of LTB₄ in the pathogenesis of elastase-induced murine pulmonary emphysema.
Exaggerated levels of the leukotriene B₄ (LTB₄) frequently coexist at sites of inflammation and tissue remodeling. Therefore, we hypothesize that the LTB₄ pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis of neutrophilic inflammation that contributes to pulmonary emphysema. In this study, significant levels of LTB₄ were detected in human lung tissues with emphysema compared with lungs without...
متن کاملDoes gallic acid improve cardiac function by attenuation of oxidative stress and inflammation in an elastase-induced lung injury?
Objective(s): Cardiovascular disease has an important role in mortality caused by lung injury. Emphysema is associated with impaired pulmonary gas exchange efficiency and airflow limitation associated with small airway inflammation. The aim was to evaluate the interactions between lung injury, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. Since gallic acid has antioxidant ...
متن کاملIL-17A is essential to the development of elastase-induced pulmonary inflammation and emphysema in mice
BACKGROUND Pulmonary emphysema is characterized by alveolar destruction and persistent inflammation of the airways. Although IL-17A contributes to many chronic inflammatory diseases, it's role in the inflammatory response of elastase-induced emphysema remains unclear. METHODS In a model of elastase-induced pulmonary emphysema we examined the response of IL-17A-deficient mice, monitoring airwa...
