Abstract
Pulmonary macrophage transplantation (PMT) is a gene and cell transplantation approach in development as therapy for hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (hPAP), a surfactant accumulation disorder caused by mutations in CSF2RA/B (and murine homologs). We conducted a toxicology study of PMT of Csf2ra gene-corrected macrophages (mGM-Rα+Mϕs) or saline-control intervention in Csf2raKO or wild-type (WT) mice including single ascending dose and repeat ascending dose studies evaluating safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Lentiviral-mediated Csf2ra cDNA transfer restored GM-CSF signaling in mGM-Rα+Mϕs. Following PMT, mGM-Rα+Mϕs engrafted, remained within the lungs, and did not undergo uncontrolled proliferation or result in bronchospasm, pulmonary function abnormalities, pulmonary or systemic inflammation, anti-transgene product antibodies, or pulmonary fibrosis. Aggressive male fighting caused a similarly low rate of serious adverse events in saline- and PMT-treated mice. Transient, minor pulmonary neutrophilia and exacerbation of pre-existing hPAP-related lymphocytosis were observed 14 days after PMT of the safety margin dose but not the target dose (5,000,000 or 500,000 mGM-Rα+Mϕs, respectively) and only in Csf2raKO mice but not in WT mice. PMT reduced lung disease severity in Csf2raKO mice. Results indicate PMT of mGM-Rα+Mϕs was safe, well tolerated, and therapeutically efficacious in Csf2raKO mice, and established a no adverse effect level and 10-fold safety margin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite advances in medical therapy, many children and adults with ileal Crohn's disease (CD) progress to fibrostenosis requiring surgery. We aimed to identify MRI and circulating biomarkers associated with the need for surgical management. METHODS This prospective, multicenter study included pediatric and adult CD cases undergoing ileal resection and CD controls receiving medical therapy. Noncontrast research MRI examinations measured bowel wall 3-dimensional magnetization transfer ratio normalized to skeletal muscle (normalized 3D MTR), modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) T1 relaxation, intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted imaging metrics, and the simplified magnetic resonance index of activity (sMaRIA). Circulating biomarkers were measured on the same day as the research MRI and included CD64, extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1), and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) autoantibodies (Ab). Associations between MRI and circulating biomarkers and need for ileal resection were tested using univariate and multivariable LASSO regression. RESULTS Our study sample included 50 patients with CD undergoing ileal resection and 83 patients with CD receiving medical therapy; mean participant age was 23.9 ± 13.1 years. Disease duration and treatment exposures did not vary between the groups. Univariate biomarker associations with ileal resection included log GM-CSF Ab (odds ratio [OR], 2.87; P = .0009), normalized 3D MTR (OR, 1.05; P = .002), log MOLLI T1 (OR, 0.01; P = .02), log IVIM perfusion fraction (f; OR, 0.38; P = .04), and IVIM apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC; OR, 0.3; P = .001). The multivariable model for surgery based upon corrected Akaike information criterion included age (OR, 1.03; P = .29), BMI (OR, 0.91; P = .09), log GM-CSF Ab (OR, 3.37; P = .01), normalized 3D MTR (OR, 1.07; P = .007), sMaRIA (OR, 1.14; P = .61), luminal narrowing (OR, 10.19; P = .003), log C-reactive protein (normalized; OR, 2.75; P = .10), and hematocrit (OR, 0.90; P = .13). CONCLUSION After accounting for clinical and MRI measures of severity, normalized 3D MTR and GM-CSF Ab are associated with the need for surgery in ileal CD.

Abstract
Human alveolar macrophages are a unique myeloid subset critical for understanding pulmonary diseases and are difficult to access. Here, we present a protocol to generate human alveolar macrophage-like (AML) cells from fresh peripheral blood mononuclear cells or purified monocytes. We describe steps for cell isolation, incubation in a defined cocktail of pulmonary surfactant and lung-associated cytokines, phenotype analysis, and validation with human alveolar macrophages. We then detail procedures for quality control and technical readouts for monitoring microbial response. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Pahari et al.1 and Neehus et al.2.

Abstract
We describe a human lung disease caused by autosomal recessive, complete deficiency of the monocyte chemokine receptor C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2). Nine children from five independent kindreds have pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), progressive polycystic lung disease, and recurrent infections, including bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) disease. The CCR2 variants are homozygous in six patients and compound heterozygous in three, and all are loss-of-expression and loss-of-function. They abolish CCR2-agonist chemokine C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL-2)-stimulated Ca2+ signaling in and migration of monocytic cells. All patients have high blood CCL-2 levels, providing a diagnostic test for screening children with unexplained lung or mycobacterial disease. Blood myeloid and lymphoid subsets and interferon (IFN)-γ- and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-mediated immunity are unaffected. CCR2-deficient monocytes and alveolar macrophage-like cells have normal gene expression profiles and functions. By contrast, alveolar macrophage counts are about half. Human complete CCR2 deficiency is a genetic etiology of PAP, polycystic lung disease, and recurrent infections caused by impaired CCL2-dependent monocyte migration to the lungs and infected tissues.

Abstract
RATIONALE Whole lung lavage (WLL) is a widely accepted palliative treatment for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) but does not correct myeloid cell dysfunction or reverse the pathological accumulation of surfactant. In contrast, inhaled recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rGM-CSF) is a promising pharmacological approach that restores alveolar macrophage functions including surfactant clearance. Here, we evaluate WLL followed by inhaled rGM-CSF (sargramostim) as therapy of aPAP. METHODS 18 patients with moderate-to-severe aPAP were enrolled, received baseline WLL, were randomised into either the rGM-CSF group (receiving inhaled sargramostim) or control group (no scheduled therapy) and followed for 30 months after the baseline WLL. Outcome measures included additional unscheduled "rescue" WLL for disease progression, assessment of arterial blood gases, pulmonary function, computed tomography, health status, biomarkers and adverse events. Patients requiring rescue WLL were considered to have failed their assigned intervention group. RESULTS The primary end-point of time to first rescue WLL was longer in rGM-CSF-treated patients than controls (30 versus 18 months, n=9 per group, p=0.0078). Seven control patients (78%) and only one rGM-CSF-treated patient (11%) required rescue WLL, demonstrating a 7-fold increase in relative risk (p=0.015). Compared to controls, rGM-CSF-treated patients also had greater improvement in peripheral arterial oxygen tension, alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference, diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide and aPAP biomarkers. One patient from each group withdrew for personal reasons. No serious adverse events were reported. CONCLUSIONS This long-term, prospective, randomised trial demonstrated inhaled sargramostim following WLL reduced the requirement for WLL, improved lung function and was safe in aPAP patients. WLL plus inhaled sargramostim may be useful as combined therapy for aPAP.

Abstract
Granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor autoantibodies (GMAbs) mediate the pathogenesis of autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (autoimmune PAP) and their quantification in serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) - the serum GMAb test - is the 'gold standard' for diagnosis of autoimmune PAP. Because GMAbs are high in autoimmune PAP and low or undetectable in healthy people, we hypothesized that the ELISA could be adapted for evaluation of blood obtained from the fingertip using a dried blood spot card (DBSC) for specimen collection. Here, we report development of such a method - the DBSC GMAb test - and evaluate its ability to measure GMAb concentration in blood and to diagnose autoimmune PAP. Fresh, heparinized whole blood was obtained from 60 autoimmune PAP patients and 19 healthy people and used to measure the GMAb concentration in blood (by the DBSC GMAb test). After optimization, the DBSC GMAb test was evaluated for accuracy, precision, reliability, sensitivity, specificity, and ruggedness. The coefficient of variation among repeated measurements was low with regard to well-to-well, plate-to-plate, day-to-day, and inter-operator variation, and results were unaffected by exposure of prepared DBSC specimens to a wide range of temperatures (from -80 °C to 65 °C), repeated freeze-thaw cycles, or storage for up to 2.5 months before testing. The limit of blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD), and lower limit of quantification (LLoQ), were 0.01, 0.21, and 3.5 μg/ml of GMAb in the blood, respectively. Receiver operating curve characteristic analysis identified 2.7 μg/ml as the optimal GMAb concentration cutoff value to distinguish autoimmune PAP from healthy people. This cutoff value was less than the LLoQ and the ranges of GMAb results for autoimmune PAP patients and healthy people were widely separated (median (interquartile range): 22.6 (13.3-43.8) and 0.23 (0.20-0.30) μg/ml, respectively). Consequently, the LLoQ is recommended as the lower limit of the range indicating a positive test result (i.e., that autoimmune PAP is present); lower values indicate a negative test result (i.e., autoimmune PAP is not present). Among the 30 autoimmune PAP patients and 19 healthy people evaluated, the sensitivity and specificity of the DBSC GMAb test were both 100% for a diagnosis of autoimmune PAP. Results demonstrate the DBSC GMAb test reliably measures GMAbs in blood and performs well in the diagnosis of autoimmune PAP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether engineering controls and respiratory protection had measurable short-term impact on indium exposure and respiratory health among current indium-tin oxide production and reclamation facility workers. METHODS We documented engineering controls implemented following our 2012 evaluation and recorded respirator use in 2012 and 2014. We measured respirable indium (Inresp) and plasma indium (InP) in 2012 and 2014, and calculated change in Inresp (∆Inresp) and InP (∆InP) by the 13 departments. We assessed symptoms, lung function, serum biomarkers of interstitial lung disease (Krebs von den Lungen (KL)-6 and surfactant protein (SP)-D) and chest high-resolution CT at both time points and evaluated workers who participated in both 2012 and 2014 for changes in health outcomes (new, worsened or improved). RESULTS Engineering controls included installation of local exhaust ventilation in both grinding departments (Rotary and Planar) and isolation of the Reclaim department. Respiratory protection increased in most (77%) departments. ∆InP and ∆Inresp often changed in parallel by department. Among 62 workers participating in both 2012 and 2014, 18 (29%) had new or worsening chest symptoms and 2 (3%) had functional decline in lung function or radiographic progression, but average KL-6 and SP-D concentrations decreased, and no cases of clinical indium lung disease were recognised. CONCLUSIONS Increased engineering controls and respiratory protection can lead to decreased Inresp, InP and biomarkers of interstitial lung disease among workers in 2 years. Ongoing medical monitoring of indium-exposed workers to confirm the longer-term effectiveness of preventive measures is warranted.

Abstract
Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) is a rare lung disorder involving production of autoantibodies against endogenous granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). This study aimed to identify biomarkers that could be used to monitor for aPAP, particularly in patients treated with anti-GM-CSF antibodies. This was an exploratory, prospective, observational, single-center study. Pre-specified biomarkers were evaluated between baseline and Day 120 in serum/plasma, whole blood, sputum and exhaled breath condensate from patients with aPAP, healthy volunteers, and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma (not treated with anti-GM-CSF and with no evidence of aPAP). Pulmonary function tests were also performed. Overall, 144 individuals were enrolled (aPAP: n = 34, healthy volunteers: n = 24, COPD: n = 40 and asthma: n = 46). Plasma GM-CSF levels were lower, and Krebs von den Lungen 6 and GM-CSF autoantibody ranges were higher, in patients with aPAP compared with other populations. Surfactant proteins-A and -D, lactate dehydrogenase and carcinoembryonic antigen ranges partially or completely overlapped across populations. Most plasma biomarkers showed high sensitivity and specificity for detection of aPAP; GM-CSF and GM-CSF autoantibody concentrations demonstrated equivalent sensitivity for differentiating aPAP. In addition to characteristic GM-CSF autoantibodies, assessment of plasma GM-CSF may identify individuals at risk of developing aPAP. Trial registration: EudraCT, 2012-003475-19.

Abstract
Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease characterized by myeloid cell dysfunction, abnormal pulmonary surfactant accumulation, and innate immune deficiency. It has a prevalence of 7-10 per million; occurs in individuals of all races, geographic regions, sex, and socioeconomic status; and accounts for 90% of all patients with PAP syndrome. The most common presentation is dyspnea of insidious onset with or without cough, production of scant white and frothy sputum, and diffuse radiographic infiltrates in a previously healthy adult, but it can also occur in children as young as 3 years. Digital clubbing, fever, and hemoptysis are not typical, and the latter two indicate that intercurrent infection may be present. Low prevalence and nonspecific clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings commonly lead to misdiagnosis as pneumonia and substantially delay an accurate diagnosis. The clinical course, although variable, usually includes progressive hypoxemic respiratory insufficiency and, in some patients, secondary infections, pulmonary fibrosis, respiratory failure, and death. Two decades of research have raised autoimmune PAP from obscurity to a paradigm of molecular pathogenesis-based diagnostic and therapeutic development. Pathogenesis is driven by GM-CSF (granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor) autoantibodies, which are present at high concentrations in blood and tissues and form the basis of an accurate, commercially available diagnostic blood test with sensitivity and specificity of 100%. Although whole-lung lavage remains the first-line therapy, inhaled GM-CSF is a promising pharmacotherapeutic approach demonstrated in well-controlled trials to be safe, well tolerated, and efficacious. Research has established GM-CSF as a pulmonary regulatory molecule critical to surfactant homeostasis, alveolar stability, lung function, and host defense.

Abstract
Objectives Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is implicated in pathogenesis of giant cell arteritis. We evaluated the efficacy of the GM-CSF receptor antagonist mavrilimumab in maintaining disease remission. Methods This phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled patients with biopsy-confirmed or imaging-confirmed giant cell arteritis in 50 centres (North America, Europe, Australia). Active disease within 6 weeks of baseline was required for inclusion. Patients in glucocorticoid-induced remission were randomly assigned (3:2 ratio) to mavrilimumab 150 mg or placebo injected subcutaneously every 2 weeks. Both groups received a 26-week prednisone taper. The primary outcome was time to adjudicated flare by week 26. A prespecified secondary efficacy outcome was sustained remission at week 26 by Kaplan-Meier estimation. Safety was also assessed. Results Of 42 mavrilimumab recipients, flare occurred in 19% (n=8). Of 28 placebo recipients, flare occurred in 46% (n=13). Median time to flare (primary outcome) was 25.1 weeks in the placebo group, but the median was not reached in the mavrilimumab group (HR 0.38; 95% CI 0.15 to 0.92; p=0.026). Sustained remission at week 26 was 83% for mavrilimumab and 50% for placebo recipients (p=0.0038). Adverse events occurred in 78.6% (n=33) of mavrilimumab and 89.3% (n=25) of placebo recipients. No deaths or vision loss occurred in either group. Conclusions Mavrilimumab plus 26 weeks of prednisone was superior to placebo plus 26 weeks of prednisone for time to flare by week 26 and sustained remission in patients with giant cell arteritis. Longer treatment is needed to determine response durability and quantify the glucocorticoid-sparing potential of mavrilimumab. Trial registration number ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT03827018, Europe (EUdraCT number: 2018-001003-36), and Australia (CT-2018-CTN-01 865-1).

Abstract
Hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (hPAP) is a rare disorder caused by recessive mutations in GM-CSF receptor subunit α/β genes (CSF2RA/CSF2RB, respectively) characterized by impaired GM-CSF-dependent surfactant clearance by alveolar macrophages (AMs) resulting in alveolar surfactant accumulation and hypoxemic respiratory failure. Because hPAP is caused by CSF2RA mutations in most patients, we created an animal model of hPAP caused by Csf2ra gene disruption (Csf2ra-/- mice) and evaluated the effects on AMs and lungs. Macrophages from Csf2ra-/- mice were unable to bind and clear GM-CSF, did not exhibit GM-CSF signaling, and had functional defects in phagocytosis, cholesterol clearance, and surfactant clearance. Csf2ra-/- mice developed a time-dependent, progressive lung disease similar to hPAP in children caused by CSF2RA mutations with respect to the clinical, physiological, histopathological, biochemical abnormalities, biomarkers of PAP lung disease, and clinical course. In contrast, Csf2ra+/- mice had functionally normal AMs and no lung disease. Pulmonary macrophage transplantation (PMT) without myeloablation resulted in long-term engraftment, restoration of GM-CSF responsiveness to AMs, and a safe and durable treatment effect that lasted for the duration of the experiment (6 mo). Results demonstrate that homozygous (but not heterozygous) Csf2ra gene ablation caused hPAP identical to hPAP in children with CSF2RA mutations, identified AMs as the cellular site of hPAP pathogenesis in Csf2ra-/- mice, and have implications for preclinical studies supporting the translation of PMT as therapy of hPAP in humans.

Abstract
We investigated the relationship between self-reported adherence to pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), nutritional status, and all-cause hospitalization in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with a record of PERT use. Association of self-reported annual PERT use rate (adherence) with annual hospital admission rate (HAR) and annual total hospital nights (THNs) were analyzed for 5301 children (2000–2012) and 13,989 adults (2000–2013) from the CF Foundation Patient Registry. Multivariate linear regression was used to determine the association of HAR and THN with mean annual PERT use rate, cumulative PERT use rate, mean body mass index (BMI) (adult) or BMI percentile (pediatric), age, and sex. The median annual PERT use rate was 87% in children and 80% in adults. Statistically, higher annual PERT use, longer cumulative PERT, and higher BMI percentile (children) or BMI (adults) were significantly (p < 0.0001) associated with lower annual HAR and fewer annual THN in children and adults. Female sex was associated with higher annual HAR and more annual THN in children and adults (p < 0.05). Results indicate self-reported adherence to PERT, increased BMI, and male sex were associated with fewer hospital admissions and annual hospital nights in CF patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) is a rare disease characterized by progressive surfactant accumulation and hypoxemia. It is caused by disruption of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signaling, which pulmonary alveolar macrophages require to clear surfactant. Recently, inhaled GM-CSF was shown to improve the partial pressure of arterial oxygen in patients with aPAP. METHODS In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-group trial, we randomly assigned patients with aPAP to receive the recombinant GM-CSF molgramostim (300 μg once daily by inhalation), either continuously or intermittently (every other week), or matching placebo. The 24-week intervention period was followed by an open-label treatment-extension period. The primary end point was the change from baseline in the alveolar-arterial difference in oxygen concentration (A-aDo2) at week 24. RESULTS In total, 138 patients underwent randomization; 46 were assigned to receive continuous molgramostim, 45 to receive intermittent molgramostim, and 47 to receive placebo. Invalid A-aDo2 data for 4 patients (1 in each molgramostim group and 2 in the placebo group) who received nasal oxygen therapy during arterial blood gas measurement were replaced by means of imputation. For the primary end point - the change from baseline in the A-aDo2 at week 24 - improvement was greater among patients receiving continuous molgramostim than among those receiving placebo (-12.8 mm Hg vs. -6.6 mm Hg; estimated treatment difference, -6.2 mm Hg; P = 0.03 by comparison of least-squares means). Patients receiving continuous molgramostim also had greater improvement than those receiving placebo for secondary end points, including the change from baseline in the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire total score at week 24 (-12.4 points vs. -5.1 points; estimated treatment difference, -7.4 points; P = 0.01 by comparison of least-squares means). For multiple end points, improvement was greater with continuous molgramostim than with intermittent molgramostim. The percentages of patients with adverse events and serious adverse events were similar in the three groups, except for the percentage of patients with chest pain, which was higher in the continuous-molgramostim group. CONCLUSIONS In patients with aPAP, daily administration of inhaled molgramostim resulted in greater improvements in pulmonary gas transfer and functional health status than placebo, with similar rates of adverse events.

Abstract
Background Mortality in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and systemic hyperinflammation is high. We aimed to examine whether mavrilimumab, an anti-granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor-α monoclonal antibody, added to standard management, improves clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and systemic hyperinflammation. Methods This single-centre prospective cohort study included patients aged 18 years or older who were admitted to San Raffaele Hospital (Milan, Italy) with severe COVID-19 pneumonia, hypoxia, and systemic hyperinflammation. Patients received a single intravenous dose (6 mg/kg) of mavrilimumab added to standard care given by the hospital at the time. The control group consisted of contemporaneous patients with similar baseline characteristics who received standard care at the same hospital. The main outcome was time to clinical improvement (defined as improvement of two or more points on the seven-point ordinal scale of clinical status). Other outcomes included proportion of patients achieving clinical improvement, survival, mechanical ventilation-free survival, and time to fever resolution. Adverse events were monitored daily. Findings Between March 17 and April 15, 2020, 13 non-mechanically ventilated patients (median age 57 years [IQR 52–58], 12 [92%] men) received mavrilimumab and 26 patients (median age 60 [IQR 53–67], 17 [65%] men) in the control group received standard care. During the 28-day follow-up, no patients in the mavrilimumab group died, and seven (27%) patients in the control group died (p=0·086). At day 28, all patients in the mavrilimumab group and 17 (65%) patients in the control group showed clinical improvement (p=0·030), with earlier improvement in the mavrilimumab than in the control group (mean time to improvement 8 days [IQR 5 to 11] vs 19 days [11 to >28], p=0·0001). By day 28, one (8%) patient in the mavrilimumab group progressed to mechanical ventilation compared with nine (35%) patients in the control group who progressed to mechanical ventilation or died (p=0·14). By day 14, fever resolved in ten (91%) of 11 febrile patients in the mavrilimumab group, compared with 11 (61%) of 18 febrile patients in the control group (p=0·18); fever resolution was faster in mavrilimumab recipients versus controls (median time to resolution 1 day [IQR 1 to 2] vs 7 days [3 to >14], p=0·0093). Mavrilimumab was well tolerated, with no infusion reactions. Three (12%) patients in the control group developed infectious complications. Interpretation Mavrilimumab treatment was associated with improved clinical outcomes compared with standard care in non-mechanically ventilated patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia and systemic hyperinflammation. Treatment was well tolerated. Confirmation of efficacy requires controlled testing. Funding IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute.

Abstract
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) provide host defense but can contribute to the pathobiology of diverse human diseases. We sought to determine the extent and mechanism by which NETs contribute to human airway cell inflammation. Primary normal human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEs) grown at air-liquid interface and wild-type (wt)CFBE41o- cells (expressing wtCFTR) were exposed to cell-free NETs from unrelated healthy volunteers for 18 h in vitro. Cytokines were measured in the apical supernatant by Luminex, and the effect on the HBE transcriptome was assessed by RNA sequencing. NETs consistently stimulated IL-8, TNF-α, and IL-1α secretion by HBEs from multiple donors, with variable effects on other cytokines (IL-6, G-CSF, and GM-CSF). Expression of HBE RNAs encoding IL-1 family cytokines, particularly IL-36 subfamily members, was increased in response to NETs. NET exposure in the presence of anakinra [recombinant human IL-1 receptor antagonist (rhIL-1RA)] dampened NET-induced changes in IL-8 and TNF-α proteins as well as IL-36α RNA. rhIL-36RA limited the increase in expression of proinflammatory cytokine RNAs in HBEs exposed to NETs. NETs selectively upregulate an IL-1 family cytokine response in HBEs, which enhances IL-8 production and is limited by rhIL-1RA. The present findings describe a unique mechanism by which NETs may contribute to inflammation in human lung disease in vivo. NET-driven IL-1 signaling may represent a novel target for modulating inflammation in diseases characterized by a substantial NET burden.

Abstract
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) is a rare, smoking-related, diffuse parenchymal lung disease characterized by marked accumulation of alveolar macrophages (AMs) and emphysema, without extensive fibrosis or neutrophilic inflammation. Because smoking increases expression of pulmonary GM-CSF (granulocyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor) and GM-CSF stimulates proliferation and activation of AMs, we hypothesized that chronic exposure of mice to increased pulmonary GM-CSF may recapitulate DIP. Wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to inhaled cigarette smoke exposure for 16 months, and AM numbers and pulmonary GM-CSF mRNA levels were measured. After demonstrating that smoke inhalation increased pulmonary GM-CSF in WT mice, transgenic mice overexpressing pulmonary GM-CSF (SPC-GM-CSF+/+) were used to determine the effects of chronic exposure to increased pulmonary GM-CSF (without smoke inhalation) on accumulation and activation of AMs, pulmonary matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression and activity, lung histopathology, development of polycythemia, and survival. In WT mice, smoke exposure markedly increased pulmonary GM-CSF and AM accumulation. In unexposed SPC-GM-CSF+/+ mice, AMs were spontaneously activated as shown by phosphorylation of STAT5 (signal inducer and activator of transcription 5) and accumulated progressively with involvement of 84% (interquartile range, 55-90%) of the lung parenchyma by 10 months of age. Histopathologic features also included scattered multinucleated giant cells, alveolar epithelial cell hyperplasia, and mild alveolar wall thickening. SPC-GM-CSF+/+ mice had increased pulmonary MMP-9 and MMP-12 levels, spontaneously developed emphysema and secondary polycythemia, and had increased mortality compared with WT mice. Results show cigarette smoke increased pulmonary GM-CSF and AM proliferation, and chronically increased pulmonary GM-CSF recapitulated the cardinal features of DIP, including AM accumulation, emphysema, secondary polycythemia, and increased mortality in mice. These observations suggest pulmonary GM-CSF may be involved in the pathogenesis of DIP.

Abstract
Rationale: Complete tracheal ring deformity (CTRD) is a rare congenital abnormality of unknown etiology characterized by circumferentially continuous or nearly continuous cartilaginous tracheal rings, variable degrees of tracheal stenosis and/or shortening, and/or pulmonary arterial sling anomaly.Objectives: To test the hypothesis that CTRD is caused by inherited or de novo mutations in genes required for normal tracheal development.Methods: CTRD and normal tracheal tissues were examined microscopically to define the tracheal abnormalities present in CTRD. Whole-exome sequencing was performed in children with CTRD and their biological parents ("trio analysis") to identify gene variants in patients with CTRD. Mutations were confirmed by Sanger sequencing, and their potential impact on structure and/or function of encoded proteins was examined using human gene mutation databases. Relevance was further examined by comparison with the effects of targeted deletion of murine homologs important to tracheal development in mice.Measurements and Main Results: The trachealis muscle was absent in all of five patients with CTRD. Exome analysis identified six de novo, three recessive, and multiple compound-heterozygous or rare hemizygous variants in children with CTRD. De novo variants were identified in SHH (Sonic Hedgehog), and inherited variants were identified in HSPG2 (perlecan), ROR2 (receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 2), and WLS (Wntless), genes involved in morphogenetic pathways known to mediate tracheoesophageal development in mice.Conclusions: The results of the present study demonstrate that absence of the trachealis muscle is associated with CTRD. Variants predicted to cause disease were identified in genes encoding Hedgehog and Wnt signaling pathway molecules, which are critical to cartilage formation and normal upper airway development in mice.

Abstract
Background Interferon-γ neutralizing autoantibodies (nIFNγ-autoAbs) are reported in patients with disseminated nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection and may function by increasing the infection risk. Notwithstanding, the prevalence of nIFNγ-autoAbs as well as the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and natural history of disseminated NTM infection in these patients is poorly understood. Methods In this retrospective observational study, data and sera for 331 Japanese subjects with mycobacterial infection were collected and analyzed. IFNγ-autoAb titers in sera were quantified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; neutralizing capacity was evaluated via flow cytometry. Results Disseminated NTM was identified in 50 human immunodeficiency virus-uninfected patients. Of these, 30 of 37 (81%) immunocompetent patients had an increased nIFNγ-autoAb titer whereas only 1 of 13 (7.7%) immunodeficient patients had an increased nIFNγ-autoAb titer (P < .0001, χ2 test). Presenting symptoms were nonspecific and NTM infection was not included in the differential diagnosis in most cases. All patients with disseminated NTM and an increased serum nIFNγ-autoAb level received prolonged antimicrobial therapy. In 6 cases when antibiotic treatment was discontinued, NTM infection recurred and required resumption of antibiotic therapy for infection control. The mortality rate was 3.2% in disseminated NTM patients with nIFNγ-autoAbs and 21% in those without. Conclusions nIFNγ-autoAbs were present in most patients with disseminated NTM infection without a diagnosis of clinical immunodeficiency. Diagnosis of disseminated NTM requires a high degree of suspicion and can be improved by measuring serum nIFNγ-autoAb titer. Long-term antibiotic therapy helps prevent recrudescent NTM infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is associated with a recently recognized, albeit poorly defined and characterized, lung disease (LD). The objective of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and histopathologic and immunologic features of this novel inflammatory LD associated with systemic JIA (designated SJIA-LD). METHODS Clinical data collected since 2010 were abstracted from the medical records of patients with systemic JIA from the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Epidemiologic, cellular, biochemical, genomic, and transcriptional profiling analyses were performed. RESULTS Eighteen patients with SJIA-LD were identified. Radiographic findings included diffuse ground-glass opacities, subpleural reticulation, interlobular septal thickening, and lymphadenopathy. Pathologic findings included patchy, but extensive, lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates and mixed features of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and endogenous lipoid pneumonia. Compared to systemic JIA patients without LD, those with SJIA-LD were younger at the diagnosis of systemic JIA (odds ratio [OR] 6.5, P = 0.007), more often had prior episodes of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) (OR 14.5, P < 0.001), had a greater frequency of adverse reactions to biologic therapy (OR 13.6, P < 0.001), and had higher serum levels of interleukin-18 (IL-18) (median 27,612 pg/ml versus 5,413 pg/ml; P = 0.047). Patients with SJIA-LD lacked genetic, serologic, or functional evidence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor pathway dysfunction, a feature that is typical of familial or autoimmune PAP. Moreover, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from patients with SJIA-LD rarely demonstrated proteinaceous material and had less lipid-laden macrophages than that seen in patients with primary PAP (mean 10.5% in patients with SJIA-LD versus 66.1% in patients with primary PAP; P < 0.001). BAL fluid from patients with SJIA-LD contained elevated levels of IL-18 and the interferon-γ-induced chemokines CXCL9 and CXCL10. Transcriptional profiling of the lung tissue from patients with SJIA-LD identified up-regulated type II interferon and T cell activation networks. This signature was also present in SJIA-LD human lung tissue sections that lacked substantial histopathologic findings, suggesting that this activation signature may precede and drive the lung pathology in SJIA-LD. CONCLUSION Pulmonary disease is increasingly detected in children with systemic JIA, particularly in association with MAS. This entity has distinct clinical and immunologic features and represents an uncharacterized inflammatory LD.

Abstract
Hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis due to GM-CSF receptor deficiency (herPAP) constitutes a life-threatening lung disease characterized by alveolar deposition of surfactant protein secondary to defective alveolar macrophage function. As current therapeutic options are primarily symptomatic, we have explored the potential of hematopoietic stem cell-based gene therapy. Using Csf2rb-/- mice, a model closely reflecting the human herPAP disease phenotype, we here demonstrate robust pulmonary engraftment of an alveolar macrophage population following intravenous transplantation of lentivirally corrected hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Engraftment was associated with marked improvement of critical herPAP disease parameters, including bronchoalveolar fluid protein, cholesterol and cytokine levels, pulmonary density on computed tomography scans, pulmonary deposition of Periodic Acid-Schiff+ material as well as respiratory mechanics. These effects were stable for at least nine months. With respect to engraftment and alveolar macrophage differentiation kinetics, we demonstrate the rapid development of CD11c+/SiglecF+ cells in the lungs from a CD11c-/SiglecF+ progenitor population within four weeks after transplantation. Based on these data, we suggest hematopoietic stem cell-based gene therapy as an effective and cause-directed treatment approach for herPAP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Multicenter International Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) Efficacy of Sirolimus (MILES) trial revealed that sirolimus stabilised lung function in patients with moderately severe LAM. The purpose of this study was to further examine the MILES cohort for the effects of racial, demographic, clinical and physiological patient characteristics on disease progression and treatment response in LAM. METHODS MILES subjects were stratified on the basis of menopausal status (pre-menopausal/post-menopausal), race (Asian/Caucasian), bronchodilator responsiveness (present/absent), initial forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1; 51-70% versus ≤50% predicted) and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) association (yes/no). A linear mixed effects model was used to compare slope differences, and nonparametric tests were used to compare medians and proportions between treatment groups in each stratum. RESULTS In the MILES placebo group, pre-menopausal patients declined 5-fold faster than post-menopausal patients (mean±se FEV1 slope -17±3 versus -3±3 mL·month-1; p=0.003). Upon treatment with sirolimus, both the pre-menopausal (-17±3 versus -1±2 mL·month-1; p<0.0001) and post-menopausal patients (-3±3 versus 6±3 mL·month-1; p=0.04) exhibited a beneficial response in mean±se FEV1 slope compared with the placebo group. Race, LAM subtype, bronchodilator responsiveness or baseline FEV1 did not impact the rate of disease progression in the placebo group or treatment response in the sirolimus group. Menopausal status and race had differential effects on the adverse event profile of sirolimus. Baseline serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-D >600 pg·mL-1 identified subgroups of patients who were more likely to decline on placebo and respond to treatment with sirolimus. CONCLUSIONS In LAM patients, treatment with sirolimus is beneficial regardless of menopausal status, race, bronchodilator responsiveness, baseline FEV1 or TSC association. Serum VEGF-D and menopausal status can help inform therapeutic decisions.

Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a syndrome characterized by the accumulation of alveolar surfactant and dysfunction of alveolar macrophages. PAP results in progressive dyspnoea of insidious onset, hypoxaemic respiratory failure, secondary infections and pulmonary fibrosis. PAP can be classified into different types on the basis of the pathogenetic mechanism: primary PAP is characterized by the disruption of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signalling and can be autoimmune (caused by elevated levels of GM-CSF autoantibodies) or hereditary (due to mutations in CSF2RA or CSF2RB, encoding GM-CSF receptor subunits); secondary PAP results from various underlying conditions; and congenital PAP is caused by mutations in genes involved in surfactant production. In most patients, pathogenesis is driven by reduced GM-CSF-dependent cholesterol clearance in alveolar macrophages, which impairs alveolar surfactant clearance. PAP has a prevalence of at least 7 cases per million individuals in large population studies and affects men, women and children of all ages, ethnicities and geographical locations irrespective of socioeconomic status, although it is more-prevalent in smokers. Autoimmune PAP accounts for >90% of all cases. Management aims at improving symptoms and quality of life; whole-lung lavage effectively removes excessive surfactant. Novel pathogenesis-based therapies are in development, targeting GM-CSF signalling, immune modulation and cholesterol homeostasis.

Abstract
IFN-β is reported to improve survival in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), possibly by preventing sepsis-induced immunosuppression, but its therapeutic nature in ARDS pathogenesis is poorly understood. We investigated the therapeutic effects of IFN-β for postseptic ARDS to better understand its pathogenesis in mice. Postseptic ARDS was reproduced in mice by cecal ligation and puncture to induce sepsis, followed 4 days later by intratracheal instillation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to cause pneumonia with or without subcutaneous administration of IFN-β 1 day earlier. Sepsis induced prolonged increases in alveolar TNF-α and IL-10 concentrations and innate immune reprogramming; specifically, it reduced alveolar macrophage (AM) phagocytosis and KC (CXCL1) secretion. Ex vivo AM exposure to TNF-α or IL-10 duplicated cytokine release impairment. Compared with sepsis or pneumonia alone, pneumonia after sepsis was associated with blunted alveolar KC responses and reduced neutrophil recruitment into alveoli despite increased neutrophil burden in lungs (i.e., "incomplete alveolar neutrophil recruitment"), reduced bacterial clearance, increased lung injury, and markedly increased mortality. Importantly, IFN-β reversed the TNF-α/IL-10-mediated impairment of AM cytokine secretion in vitro, restored alveolar innate immune responsiveness in vivo, improved alveolar neutrophil recruitment and bacterial clearance, and consequently reduced the odds ratio for 7-day mortality by 85% (odds ratio, 0.15; 95% confidence interval, 0.03-0.82; P = 0.045). This mouse model of sequential sepsis → pneumonia infection revealed incomplete alveolar neutrophil recruitment as a novel pathogenic mechanism for postseptic ARDS, and systemic IFN-β improved survival by restoring the impaired function of AMs, mainly by recruiting neutrophils to alveoli.

Abstract
Rare lung diseases encompass a broad spectrum of conditions and affect an estimated 1.2-2.5 million people in North America and 1.5-3 million people in Europe. While individual rare lung diseases affect less than 1 in 2000 individuals, collectively they have a significant impact upon the population at large. Hence it is vital to understand firstly the epidemiology and subsequently the pathogenesis and clinical course of these disorders. Through a greater understanding of these aspects of disease, progress can be made in reducing symptoms, containing healthcare costs and utilizing resources efficiently. Furthermore, a greater understanding of the pathobiology of rare lung diseases can inform both the pathogenesis and management of more common pulmonary disorders.In this chapter we review how epidemiological approaches and the utilization of patient registries has improved the knowledge and management of rare lung diseases. We further focus on the epidemiology of several of the more widely known rare pulmonary disorders, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), cystic fibrosis (CF) and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). To conclude we describe how patient advocacy groups and foundations have driven advances in research and management of ultra-rare lung diseases, namely, the major strides made in the management and understanding of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP).We conclude that the models used to study some of the rarest of diseases may be successfully adopted by other rare and common disease communities, leading to improved care and the possibility of novel therapeutic options.

Abstract
Hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (hPAP) is a rare disorder of pulmonary surfactant accumulation and hypoxemic respiratory failure caused by mutations in CSF2RA (encoding the granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF] receptor α-chain [CD116]), which results in reduced GM-CSF-dependent pulmonary surfactant clearance by alveolar macrophages. While no pharmacologic therapy currently exists for hPAP, it was recently demonstrated that endotracheal instillation of wild-type or gene-corrected mononuclear phagocytes (pulmonary macrophage transplantation [PMT]) results in a significant and durable therapeutic efficacy in a validated murine model of hPAP. To facilitate the translation of PMT therapy to human hPAP patients, a self-inactivating (SIN) lentiviral vector was generated expressing a codon-optimized human CSF2RA-cDNA driven from an EF1α short promoter (Lv.EFS.CSF2RAcoop), and a series of nonclinical efficacy and safety studies were performed in cultured macrophage cell lines and primary human cells. Studies in cytokine-dependent Ba/F3 cells demonstrated efficient transduction, vector-derived CD116 expression proportional to vector copy number, and GM-CSF-dependent cell survival and proliferation. Using a novel cell line constructed to express a normal GM-CSF receptor β subunit and a dysfunctional α subunit (due to a function-altering CSF2RAG196R mutation) that reflects the macrophage disease phenotype of hPAP patients, it was demonstrated that Lv.EFS.CSF2RAcoop transduction restored GM-CSF receptor function. Further, Lv.EFS.CSF2RAcoop transduction of healthy primary CD34+ cells did not adversely affect cell proliferation or affect the cell differentiation program. Results demonstrate Lv.EFS.CSF2RAcoop reconstituted GM-CSF receptor α expression, restoring GM-CSF signaling in hPAP macrophages, and had no adverse effects in the intended target cells, thus supporting testing of PMT therapy of hPAP in humans.

Abstract
Rare respiratory diseases (RRDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders that collectively represent a significant health care burden. In recent years, strong advocacy and policy initiatives have led to advances in the implementation of research and clinical care for rare diseases. The development of specialized centers and research networks has facilitated support for affected individuals as well as emerging programs in basic, translational, and clinical research. In selected RRDs, subsequent gains in knowledge have informed the development of targeted therapies and effective diagnostic tests, but many gaps persist. There was therefore a desire to identify the elements contributing to an effective translational research program in RRDs. To this end, a workshop was convened in October 2015 with a focus on the implementation of effective transnational research networks and collaborations aimed at developing novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Key elements included an emphasis on molecular pathogenesis, the continuing engagement of patient advocacy groups and policy makers, the effective use of preclinical models in the translational research pipeline, and the detailed phenotyping of patient cohorts. During the course of the workshop, current logistical and knowledge gaps were identified, and new solutions or opportunities were highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stricturing and penetrating complications account for substantial morbidity and health-care costs in paediatric and adult onset Crohn's disease. Validated models to predict risk for complications are not available, and the effect of treatment on risk is unknown. METHODS We did a prospective inception cohort study of paediatric patients with newly diagnosed Crohn's disease at 28 sites in the USA and Canada. Genotypes, antimicrobial serologies, ileal gene expression, and ileal, rectal, and faecal microbiota were assessed. A competing-risk model for disease complications was derived and validated in independent groups. Propensity-score matching tested the effect of anti-tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) therapy exposure within 90 days of diagnosis on complication risk. FINDINGS Between Nov 1, 2008, and June 30, 2012, we enrolled 913 patients, 78 (9%) of whom experienced Crohn's disease complications. The validated competing-risk model included age, race, disease location, and antimicrobial serologies and provided a sensitivity of 66% (95% CI 51-82) and specificity of 63% (55-71), with a negative predictive value of 95% (94-97). Patients who received early anti-TNFα therapy were less likely to have penetrating complications (hazard ratio [HR] 0·30, 95% CI 0·10-0·89; p=0·0296) but not stricturing complication (1·13, 0·51-2·51; 0·76) than were those who did not receive early anti-TNFα therapy. Ruminococcus was implicated in stricturing complications and Veillonella in penetrating complications. Ileal genes controlling extracellular matrix production were upregulated at diagnosis, and this gene signature was associated with stricturing in the risk model (HR 1·70, 95% CI 1·12-2·57; p=0·0120). When this gene signature was included, the model's specificity improved to 71%. INTERPRETATION Our findings support the usefulness of risk stratification of paediatric patients with Crohn's disease at diagnosis, and selection of anti-TNFα therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND VEGF-D is a lymphangiogenic growth factor that has a key role in tumour metastasis. Serum VEGF-D concentrations are increased in most patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis, a rare neoplasm associated with mTOR-activating tuberous sclerosis gene mutations, lymphadenopathy, metastatic spread, and pulmonary cyst formation. We used data from the Multicenter International Lymphangioleiomyomatosis Efficacy of Sirolimus (MILES) trial to assess the usefulness of serum VEGF-D concentration as a marker of severity and therapeutic response to sirolimus in patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis. METHODS In the MILES trial, patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis who had forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) of 70% or less of predicted were randomly assigned (1:1) to 12 months masked treatment with sirolimus or placebo. Serum VEGF-D concentrations were measured at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. We used a linear regression model to assess associations of baseline VEGF-D concentrations with markers of disease severity, and a linear mixed effects model to assess the associations of VEGF-D concentrations with between-group differences in clinical, physiological, and patient-reported outcomes. FINDINGS We included 42 patients from the placebo group and 45 from the sirolimus group in our analysis. Baseline VEGF-D concentrations in individual patients varied from 0·34 ng/mL to 16·7 ng/mL. Baseline VEGF-D concentrations were higher in patients who needed supplemental oxygen than in those who did not need supplemental oxygen (1·7 ng/mL [IQR 0·99–3·36] vs 0·84 ng/mL [0·52–1·39]; p<0·0001) and in those who had a bronchodilator response than in those who did not (2·01 ng/mL [0·99–2·86] vs 1·00 ng/mL [0·61–2·15]; 0·0273). Median serum VEGF-D concentrations were similar at baseline in the sirolimus and placebo groups, and fell from baseline at 6 and 12 months in the sirolimus group but remained roughly stable in the placebo group. Each one-unit increase in baseline log(VEGF-D) was associated with a between-group difference in baseline-to-12-month FEV1 change of 134 mL (p=0·0007). In the sirolimus group, improvement in baseline-to-12-month FEV1 occurred in 15 of 23 (65%) VEGF-D responders (ie, those in whom baseline-to-12-month VEGF-D concentrations decreased by more than they did in any patients in the placebo group) and four of 15 (27%) VEGF-D non-responders (p=0·0448). INTERPRETATION Serum VEGF-D is a biologically plausible and useful biomarker in lymphangioleiomyomatosis that correlates with disease severity and treatment response. Measurement of serum VEGF-D concentrations could inform the risk–benefit analysis of sirolimus therapy in patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis and reduce the numbers of patients needed for clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Airway epithelial cells (AEC) are increasingly recognized as a major signalling centre in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma. A previous study demonstrated that epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling in AEC regulated key features of allergic airway disease. However, it is unclear what mediators are regulated by EGFR signalling in AEC, although the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is EGFR dependent in keratinocytes. OBJECTIVES To determine whether EGFR signalling regulates GM-CSF production by human AEC downstream of the clinically relevant mediators house dust mite (HDM) and interleukin (IL)-17A and in a mouse model of established allergic asthma. METHODS EGFR inhibitors were used to determine whether EGFR signalling regulates GM-CSF production by cultured human AEC in response to HDM and IL-17A. The roles of EGFR ligands, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) converting enzyme (TACE) were also assessed. To determine whether EGFR regulates GM-CSF as well as key asthma characteristics in vivo, mice were chronically exposed to HDM to establish allergic airway disease and then treated with the EGFR inhibitor Erlotinib. RESULTS EGFR inhibition reduced HDM and IL-17A induced GM-CSF production in a dose-dependent manner in cultured human AEC. GM-CSF production also required amphiregulin, p38 MAPK signalling and protease/TACE activity. In mice with established allergic airway disease, EGFR inhibition reduced levels of GM-CSF and TNF-α, as well as airway hyperreactivity, cellular inflammation, smooth muscle thickening and goblet cell metaplasia without changes in IgE and Th1, Th2 and Th17 cytokines. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results link HDM, IL-17A, amphiregulin, EGFR and GM-CSF in a mechanistic pathway in AEC and demonstrate that EGFR regulates GM-CSF production and the severity of established disease in a clinically relevant asthma model. These results identify the EGFR→GM-CSF axis as a target for therapeutic development.

Abstract
Gene augmentation therapy as a strategy to treat alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency has reached phase 2 clinical testing in humans. Sustained serum levels of AAT have been observed beyond one year after intramuscular administration of a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector expressing the AAT gene. In this study, sequential muscle biopsies obtained at 3 and 12 months after vector injection were examined for the presence of rAAV vector genomes. Each biopsy sample contained readily detectable vector DNA, the majority of which existed as double-stranded supercoiled and open circular episomes. Episomes persisted through 12 months, although at slightly lower levels than observed at 3 months. There was a clear dose response when comparing the low- and mid-vector-dose groups to the high-dose group. The highest absolute copy numbers were found in a high-dose subject, and serum AAT levels at 12 months confirmed that the high-dose group also had the highest sustained serum AAT levels. Sequence analysis revealed that the vast majority of episomes contained double-D inverted terminal repeats ranging from fully intact to severely deleted. Molecular clones of vector genomes derived directly from the biopsies were transcriptionally active, potentially identifying them as the source of serum AAT in the trial subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whole lung lavage (WLL) is the current standard of care treatment for patients affected by pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). However, WLL is not standardized and international consensus documents are lacking. Our aim was to obtain a factual portrayal of WLL as currently practiced with respect to the procedure, indications for its use, evaluation of therapeutic benefit and complication rate. METHODS A clinical practice survey was conducted globally by means of a questionnaire and included 27 centers performing WLL in pediatric and/or adult PAP patients. RESULTS We collected completed questionnaires from 20 centres in 14 countries, practicing WLL in adults and 10 centers in 6 countries, practicing WLL in pediatric patients. WLL is almost universally performed under general anesthesia, with a double-lumen endobronchial tube in two consecutive sessions, with an interval of 1-2 weeks between sessions in approximately 50 % of centres. The use of saline warmed to 37 °C, drainage of lung lavage fluid by gravity and indications for WLL therapy in PAP were homogenous across centres. There was great variation in the choice of the first lung to be lavaged: 50 % of centres based the choice on imaging, whereas 50 % always started with the left lung. The choice of position was also widely discordant; the supine position was chosen by 50 % of centres. Other aspects varied significantly among centres including contraindications, methods and timing of follow up, use of chest percussion, timing of extubation following WLL and lung isolation and lavage methods for small children. The amount of fluid used to perform the WLL is a critical aspect. Whilst a general consensus exists on the single aliquot of fluid for lavage (around 800 ml of warm saline, in adults) great variability exists in the total volume instilled per lung, ranging from 5 to 40 liters, with an average of 15.4 liters/lung. CONCLUSIONS This international survey found that WLL is safe and effective as therapy for PAP. However these results also indicate that standardization of the procedure is required; the present survey represents the a first step toward building such a document.

Abstract
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) represent an innovative source for the standardized in vitro generation of macrophages (Mφ). We here describe a robust and efficient protocol to obtain mature and functional Mφ from healthy as well as disease-specific murine iPSCs. With regard to morphology, surface phenotype, and function, our iPSC-derived Mφ (iPSC-Mφ) closely resemble their counterparts generated in vitro from bone marrow cells. Moreover, when we investigated the feasibility of our differentiation system to serve as a model for rare congenital diseases associated with Mφ malfunction, we were able to faithfully recapitulate the pathognomonic defects in GM-CSF signaling and Mφ function present in hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (herPAP). Thus, our studies may help to overcome the limitations placed on research into certain rare disease entities by the lack of an adequate supply of disease-specific primary cells, and may aid the development of novel therapeutic approaches for herPAP patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Workers manufacturing indium-tin oxide (ITO) are at risk of elevated indium concentration in blood and indium lung disease, but relationships between respirable indium exposures and biomarkers of exposure and disease are unknown. METHODS For 87 (93%) current ITO workers, we determined correlations between respirable and plasma indium and evaluated associations between exposures and health outcomes. RESULTS Current respirable indium exposure ranged from 0.4 to 108 μg/m(3) and cumulative respirable indium exposure from 0.4 to 923 μg-yr/m(3) . Plasma indium better correlated with cumulative (rs = 0.77) than current exposure (rs = 0.54) overall and with tenure ≥1.9 years. Higher cumulative respirable indium exposures were associated with more dyspnea, lower spirometric parameters, and higher serum biomarkers of lung disease (KL-6 and SP-D), with significant effects starting at 22 μg-yr/m(3) , reached by 46% of participants. CONCLUSIONS Plasma indium concentration reflected cumulative respirable indium exposure, which was associated with clinical, functional, and serum biomarkers of lung disease. Am. J. Ind.

Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare syndrome characterized by the accumulation of surfactant in alveoli and terminal airways resulting in respiratory failure. PAP comprises part of a spectrum of disorders of surfactant homeostasis (clearance and production). The surfactant production disorders are caused by mutations in genes required for normal surfactant production. The PAP syndrome is identified based on history, radiologic, and bronchoalveolar lavage and/or histopathologic findings. The diagnosis of PAP-causing diseases in secondary PAP requires further studies. Whole-lung lavage is the current standard therapy and promising new pharmacologic therapies are in development.

Abstract
Impaired signaling by granulocyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) drives the pathogenesis of two diseases (autoimmune and hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP)) representing over ninety percent of patients who develop PAP syndrome but not a broad spectrum of diseases that cause PAP by other mechanisms. We previously exploited the ability of GM-CSF to rapidly increase cell-surface CD11b levels on neutrophils (CD11bSurface) to establish the CD11b stimulation index (CD11b-SI), a test enabling the clinical research diagnosis of impaired GM-CSF signaling based on measuring CD11bSurface by flow cytometry using fresh, heparinized blood. (CD11b-SI is defined as GM-CSF-stimulated- CD11bSurface minus unstimulated CD11bSurface divided by un-stimulated CD11bSurface multiplied by 100.) Notwithstanding important and unique diagnostic utility, the test is sensitive to experimental conditions that can affect test performance. The present study was undertaken to optimize and standardize CD11b-SI test for detecting impaired GM-CSF signaling in heparinized human blood specimens from PAP patients. Results demonstrated the test was sensitive to choice of anticoagulant, pretesting incubation on ice, a delay between phlebotomy and test performance of more than one hour, and the concentration GM-CSF used to stimulate blood. The standardized CD11b-SI test reliably distinguished blood specimens from autoimmune PAP patients with impaired GM-CSF signaling from those of health people with normal signaling. Intra-subject differences were smaller than inter-subject differences in repeated measures. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis identified a CD11b-SI test result of 112 as the optimal cut off threshold for diagnosis of impaired GM-CSF signaling in autoimmune PAP for which the sensitivity and specificity were both 100%. These results support the use of this standardized CD11b-SI for routine clinical identification of impaired GM-CSF signaling in patients with autoimmune PAP. The CD11b-SI may also have utility in clinical trials of novel therapeutic strategies targeting reduction in GM-CSF bioactivity now under evaluation for multiple common autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
Bone marrow transplantation is an effective cell therapy but requires myeloablation, which increases infection-risk and mortality. Recent lineage-tracing studies documenting that resident macrophage populations self-maintain independent of hematologic progenitors prompted us to consider organ-targeted, cell-specific therapy. Here, using GM-CSF receptor-β deficient (Csf2rb−/−) mice that develop a myeloid cell disorder identical to hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (hPAP) in children with CSF2RA/CSF2RB mutations, we show that pulmonary macrophage transplantation (PMT) of either wild-type or Csf2rb-gene-corrected macrophages without myeloablation was safe, well-tolerated, and that one administration corrected the lung disease, secondary systemic manifestations, normalized disease-related biomarkers, and prevented disease-specific mortality. PMT-derived alveolar macrophages persisted for at least one year as did therapeutic effects. Results identify mechanisms regulating alveolar macrophage population size in health and disease, indicate that GM-CSF is required for phenotypic determination of alveolar macrophages, and support translation of PMT as the first specific therapy for children with hPAP.

Abstract
RATIONALE In patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) syndrome, disruption of granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signaling is associated with pathogenic surfactant accumulation from impaired clearance in alveolar macrophages. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to overcome these barriers by using monocyte-derived induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to recapitulate disease-specific and normal macrophages. METHODS We created iPS cells from two children with hereditary PAP (hPAP) caused by recessive CSF2RA(R217X) mutations and three normal people, differentiated them into macrophages (hPAP-iPS-Mφs and NL-iPS-Mφs, respectively), and evaluated macrophage functions with and without gene-correction to restore GM-CSF signaling in hPAP-iPS-Mφs. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Both hPAP and normal iPS cells had human embryonic stem cell-like morphology, expressed pluripotency markers, formed teratomas in vivo, had a normal karyotype, retained and expressed mutant or normal CSF2RA genes, respectively, and could be differentiated into macrophages with the typical morphology and phenotypic markers. Compared with normal, hPAP-iPS-Mφs had impaired GM-CSF receptor signaling and reduced GM-CSF-dependent gene expression, GM-CSF- but not M-CSF-dependent cell proliferation, surfactant clearance, and proinflammatory cytokine secretion. Restoration of GM-CSF receptor signaling corrected the surfactant clearance abnormality in hPAP-iPS-Mφs. CONCLUSIONS We used patient-specific iPS cells to accurately reproduce the molecular and cellular defects of alveolar macrophages that drive the pathogenesis of PAP in more than 90% of patients. These results demonstrate the critical role of GM-CSF signaling in surfactant homeostasis and PAP pathogenesis in humans and have therapeutic implications for hPAP.

Abstract
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors have shown promise for the treatment of several diseases; however, immune-mediated elimination of transduced cells has been suggested to limit and account for a loss of efficacy. To determine whether rAAV vector expression can persist long term, we administered rAAV vectors expressing normal, M-type α-1 antitrypsin (M-AAT) to AAT-deficient subjects at various doses by multiple i.m. injections. M-specific AAT expression was observed in all subjects in a dose-dependent manner and was sustained for more than 1 year in the absence of immune suppression. Muscle biopsies at 1 year had sustained AAT expression and a reduction of inflammatory cells compared with 3 month biopsies. Deep sequencing of the TCR Vβ region from muscle biopsies demonstrated a limited number of T cell clones that emerged at 3 months after vector administration and persisted for 1 year. In situ immunophenotyping revealed a substantial Treg population in muscle biopsy samples containing AAT-expressing myofibers. Approximately 10% of all T cells in muscle were natural Tregs, which were activated in response to AAV capsid. These results suggest that i.m. delivery of rAAV type 1-AAT (rAAV1-AAT) induces a T regulatory response that allows ongoing transgene expression and indicates that immunomodulatory treatments may not be necessary for rAAV-mediated gene therapy.

Abstract
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health convened the Cell Therapy for Lung Disease Working Group on November 13-14, 2012, to review and formulate recommendations for future research directions. The workshop brought together investigators studying basic mechanisms and the roles of cell therapy in preclinical models of lung injury and pulmonary vascular disease, with clinical trial experts in cell therapy for cardiovascular diseases and experts from the NHLBI Production Assistance for Cell Therapy program. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss the current status of basic investigations in lung cell therapy, to identify some of the scientific gaps in current knowledge regarding the potential roles and mechanisms of cell therapy in the treatment of lung diseases, and to develop recommendations to the NHLBI and the research community on scientific priorities and practical steps that would lead to first-in-human trials of lung cell therapy.

Abstract
In 1963, five cases of alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency were reported in the scientific literature, as well as an attempt to treat pulmonary alveolar proteinosis by a massive washing of the lung (whole lung lavage). Now, fifty years later, it seems the ideal moment not only to commemorate these publications, but also to point out the influence both papers had in the following decades and how knowledge on these two fascinating rare respiratory disorders progressed over the years. This paper is therefore not aimed at being a comprehensive review for both disorders, but rather at comparing the evolution of alpha1-antitrypsin, a rare disorder, with that of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, an ultra-rare disease. We wanted to emphasize how all stakeholders might contribute to the dissemination of the awareness of rare diseases, that need to be chaperoned from the ghetto of neglected disorders to the dignity of recognizable and treatable disorders.
