项目摘要

ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRI) in children and high-risk adults worldwide. Our data demonstrate that RSV infection results in a ‘leaky airway’ by disrupting epithelial apical junctional complexes (AJC), which regulate the airway epithelial barrier. We show that RSV- mediated disruption of AJC is accompanied by disassembly of the perijunctional actin cytoskeleton, and downregulation of cortactin - a key actin-binding protein. Cortactin deficiency has been previously implicated in destabilizing the vascular endothelial and intestinal epithelial barrier. However the causal link between RSV- induced leaky barrier, actin cytoskeletal rearrangements and cortactin deficiency have not been established. In addition, epidemiological reports suggest a strong association between exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) and increased risk of ALRI. Nanoparticles (NPs) are extremely small PM, with the greater ability to become deposited in distal airways and evade host defenses compared to smaller particles. Our preliminary data demonstrate that pre-exposure of bronchial epithelial cells to NP not only enhances RSV-induced AJC disassembly and actin cytoskeleton disruption, but augments viral infection. Based on our novel observations, we formulated the central hypotheses that a) RSV induces disruption of the airway epithelial barrier by triggering depolymerization of the perijunctional actin cytoskeleton, and by downregulating cortactin; and b) that disruption of the epithelial barrier by nanoparticles worsens RSV-induced airway epithelium injury. We will test our hypotheses through the following Specific Aims: Aim 1: To determine the role of cortactin-dependent actin filament dynamics in RSV-induced airway epithelial barrier dysfunction. Using human bronchial epithelial cells isolated from pediatric donors, and a mouse model of cortactin null mice, we will investigate (i) RSV effect on actin cytoskeletal dynamics, (ii) the functional role of cortactin on actin dynamics and AJC structure, and (iii) the functional roles of Rap-1. We will also use a 3-D human lung organoids model detailing the effects of AJC disruption upon RSV infection, which offers an innovative platform to study complex host-environmental interactions. Aim 2: To determine if nanoparticles enhance RSV-induced disruption of the airway epithelial barrier. Using in vitro and in vivo models, we will (i) characterize the effects of particle size on barrier integrity, (ii) study role of oxidative stress on AJC function, and (iii) define the effects of exposure to NP on AJC dysfunction. The proposed research is significant and relevant to the NIH’s mission as we aim to explore the clinically relevant consequences of RSV infection on airway barrier integrity, and how exposure to environmental pollutants worsens RSV infection. Our approach is innovative because it will provide new mechanistic insight in to the roles of RSV in AJC disassembly, as well as novel insight in to the effects of NPs in enhancing RSV- induced AJC disruption. The identified pathways will provide new targets for therapeutic intervention and the potential for positively impacting the management of RSV disease.

摘要呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）是儿童急性下呼吸道感染（ALRI）的主要原因和高风险的成年人。我们的数据表明，RSV感染通过破坏呼吸道，上皮顶端连接复合物（AJC），其调节气道上皮屏障。我们发现RSV- 介导的AJC破坏伴随着连接周围肌动蛋白细胞骨架的分解，下调皮质激素-一种关键的肌动蛋白结合蛋白。皮质激素缺乏症以前曾被牵连，使血管内皮和肠上皮屏障不稳定。然而，RSV之间的因果关系- 诱导的渗漏屏障、肌动蛋白细胞骨架重排和皮质蛋白缺乏尚未建立。在此外，流行病学报告表明，暴露于环境颗粒物之间存在密切联系 (PM)增加ALRI的风险。纳米颗粒（NPs）是非常小的PM，具有更大的能力，与较小的颗粒相比，沉积在远端气道中并逃避宿主防御。我们的初步数据表明支气管上皮细胞预先暴露于NP不仅增强了RSV诱导的AJC，分解和肌动蛋白细胞骨架破坏，但增强病毒感染。基于我们的新观察，我们提出了以下中心假设：a）RSV通过触发呼吸道上皮细胞，连接周围肌动蛋白细胞骨架的解聚，并通过下调coronin;和B）这种破坏纳米颗粒对呼吸道上皮屏障的保护作用。我们将测试我们的目的1：确定皮质素依赖的肌动蛋白的作用呼吸道合胞病毒诱导的气道上皮屏障功能障碍中的细丝动力学使用人类支气管上皮细胞分离自儿科供体的RSV，以及corneumen敲除小鼠的小鼠模型，我们将研究（i）RSV对肌动蛋白细胞骨架动力学，（ii）皮质蛋白对肌动蛋白动力学和AJC结构的功能作用，以及（iii） Rap-1的功能。我们还将使用3D人类肺部类器官模型，详细描述AJC的作用 RSV感染后的破坏，为研究复杂的宿主环境提供了一个创新平台交互.目的2：确定纳米颗粒是否增强RSV诱导的气道上皮破坏屏障使用体外和体内模型，我们将（i）表征粒度对屏障完整性的影响， (ii)研究氧化应激对AJC功能的作用，以及（iii）确定暴露于NP对AJC的影响功能障碍这项拟议中的研究是重要的，与NIH的使命相关，因为我们的目标是探索 RSV感染对气道屏障完整性的临床相关后果，以及暴露于环境污染物导致RSV感染。我们的方法是创新的，因为它将提供新的机械见解， RSV在AJC分解中的作用，以及对NPs在增强RSV中的作用的新见解，诱导AJC破坏。所确定的途径将为治疗干预提供新的靶点，对RSV疾病的管理产生积极影响的潜力。
