Abstract
Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) is low in most patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Decreased ciliary motion could lead to antigen stasis, increasing oxidant production and NO oxidation in the airways. This could both decrease gas phase NO and increase nitrosative stress. We studied primary airway epithelial cells from healthy controls (HCs) and patients with PCD with several different genotypes. We measured antigen clearance in fenestrated membranes exposed apically to the fluorescently labeled antigen Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Derp1-f). We immunoblotted for 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) and for oxidative response enzymes. We measured headspace NO above primary airway cells without and with a PCD-causing genotype. We measured nNO and exhaled breath condensate (EBC) H2O2 in vivo. Apical Derp1-f was cleared from HC better than from PCD cells. DUOX1 expression was lower in HC than in PCD cells at baseline and after 24-h Derp1-f exposure. HC cells had less 3-NT and NO3- than PCD cells. However, NO consumption by HC cells was less than that by PCD cells; NO loss was prevented by superoxide dismutase (SOD) and by apocynin. nNO was higher in HCs than in patients with PCD. EBC H2O2 was lower in HC than in patients with PCD. The PCD airway epithelium does not optimally clear antigens and is subject to oxidative and nitrosative stress. Oxidation associated with antigen stasis could represent a therapeutic target in PCD, one with convenient monitoring biomarkers.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The PCD airway epithelium does not optimally clear antigens, and antigen exposure can lead to NO oxidation and nitrosative stress. Oxidation caused by antigen stasis could represent a therapeutic target in PCD, and there are convenient monitoring biomarkers.

Jain A, Kim BR, Yu W, Moninger TO, Karp PH, Wagner BA, Welsh MJ. Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins protect human airway epithelial ciliated cells from oxidative damage. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2024; 121:e2318771121. [PMID: 38416686 DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2318771121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Apical cilia on epithelial cells defend the lung by propelling pathogens and particulates out of the respiratory airways. Ciliated cells produce ATP that powers cilia beating by densely grouping mitochondria just beneath the apical membrane. However, this efficient localization comes at a cost because electrons leaked during oxidative phosphorylation react with molecular oxygen to form superoxide, and thus, the cluster of mitochondria creates a hotspot for oxidant production. The relatively high oxygen concentration overlying airway epithelia further intensifies the risk of generating superoxide. Thus, airway ciliated cells face a unique challenge of producing harmful levels of oxidants. However, surprisingly, highly ciliated epithelia produce less reactive oxygen species (ROS) than epithelia with few ciliated cells. Compared to other airway cell types, ciliated cells express high levels of mitochondrial uncoupling proteins, UCP2 and UCP5. These proteins decrease mitochondrial protonmotive force and thereby reduce production of ROS. As a result, lipid peroxidation, a marker of oxidant injury, decreases. However, mitochondrial uncoupling proteins exact a price for decreasing oxidant production; they decrease the fraction of mitochondrial respiration that generates ATP. These findings indicate that ciliated cells sacrifice mitochondrial efficiency in exchange for safety from damaging oxidation. Employing uncoupling proteins to prevent oxidant production, instead of relying solely on antioxidants to decrease postproduction oxidant levels, may offer an advantage for targeting a local area of intense ROS generation.

Abstract
During the year 2019, research and case reports or series in the field of cystic fibrosis (CF) were in abundance. To adequately address the large body of CF research published during 2019, the CF year in review will be divided into three sections. This report is the second section, focusing specifically on new research related to pulmonary disease and infections. Additional sections will concentrate on CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulators and the multisystem effects of CF. It is an exciting time to be providing care for patients and their families with CF with all the exciting new discoveries that will be shared in these reviews.

A universal stress protein upregulated by hypoxia has a role in Burkholderia cenocepacia intramacrophage survival: Implications for chronic infection in cystic fibrosis. Microbiologyopen 2022; 12:e1311. [PMID: 36825886 PMCID: PMC9733578 DOI: 10.1002/mbo3.1311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Revised: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Universal stress proteins (USPs) are ubiquitously expressed in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes and play a lead role in adaptation to environmental conditions. They enable adaptation of bacterial pathogens to the conditions encountered in the human niche, including hypoxia, oxidative stress, osmotic stress, nutrient deficiency, or acid stress, thereby facilitating colonization. We previously reported that all six USP proteins encoded within a low-oxygen activated (lxa) locus in Burkholderia cenocepacia showed increased abundance during chronic colonization of the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung. However, the role of USPs in chronic cystic fibrosis infection is not well understood. Structural modeling identified surface arginines on one lxa-encoded USP, USP76, which suggested it mediated interactions with heparan sulfate. Using mutants derived from the B. cenocepacia strain, K56-2, we show that USP76 is involved in host cell attachment. Pretreatment of lung epithelial cells with heparanase reduced the binding of the wild-type and complement strains but not the Δusp76 mutant strain, indicating that USP76 is directly or indirectly involved in receptor recognition on the surface of epithelial cells. We also show that USP76 is required for growth and survival in many conditions associated with the CF lung, including acidic conditions and oxidative stress. Moreover, USP76 also has a role in survival in macrophages isolated from people with CF. Overall, while further elucidation of the exact mechanism(s) is required, we can conclude that USP76, which is upregulated during chronic infection, is involved in bacterial survival within CF macrophages, a hallmark of Burkholderia infection.

Abstract
Pediatric non-cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis is characterized by endobronchial suppuration, airway neutrophilic inflammation and poor mucus clearance and is associated with persistent productive cough due to recurrent airway infections. Most recommendations are based on expert opinion or extrapolated from CF practice. The present narrative review aims to address some issues on the management of children or adolescents with non CF-bronchiectasis that still require attention, and analyze what available literature offers to reply to open questions. We focused on the potential offered by technological advances on lung disease assessment through novel chest imaging techniques and new or old pulmonary function tests. We also summarized the main novelties in the disease prevention and treatment. Finally, a novel diagnostic algorithm is proposed, that might help physicians in the daily clinical decision-making process. Future directions for research on pediatric non-CF bronchiectasis should include larger study populations and longer prospective clinical trials, as well as new clinical and laboratory endpoints to determine the underlying mechanisms of lung disease progression and support the role of new and existing treatments.
