肥大细胞移位浸润气道上皮通过IL-33调节哮喘炎症

   摘要
   哮喘是一种异质性综合征,已细分为生理表型和分子内型。哮喘最特异的生理表型是间接气道高反应性(AHR),最显著的分子内型是2型炎症。2型炎症的内在机制及其与AHR的关系尚不完全清楚。我们评估了2型细胞因子在有或无哮喘的受试者气道中的表达,这些受试者具有广泛的AHR特征。通过对气道壁的定量形态测量,我们发现肥大细胞从粘膜下层转移到气道上皮,与2型炎症和间接气道高反应特异性相关。利用与肥大细胞共培养的原发性气道上皮细胞体外模型,我们发现,肥大细胞中的上皮源性白细胞介素33独特地诱导了2型细胞因子,从而在前馈环中调节了上皮性白细胞介素33的表达。这种前馈回路在哮喘患者的上皮细胞中更为突出。这些结果表明,哮喘患者的2型炎症和间接AHR与肥大细胞转移浸润气道上皮细胞有关,肥大细胞通过IL-33与上皮细胞协同调节2型炎症。

Abstract
Asthma is a heterogeneous syndrome that has been subdivided into physiological phenotypes and molecular endotypes. The most specific phenotypic manifestation of asthma is indirect airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), and a prominent molecular endotype is the presence of type-2 inflammation. The underlying basis for type-2 inflammation and its relationship to AHR are incompletely understood. We assessed the expression of type-2 cytokines in the airways of subjects with and without asthma who were extensively characterized for AHR. Using quantitative morphometry of the airway wall, we identified a shift in mast cells from the submucosa to the airway epithelium specifically associated with both type-2 inflammation and indirect AHR. Using ex vivo modeling of primary airway epithelial cells in organotypic co-culture with mast cells, we have shown that epithelial-derived IL-33 uniquely induced type-2 cytokines in mast cells, which regulated the expression of epithelial IL33 in a feedforward loop. This feedforward loop was accentuated in epithelial cells derived from subjects with asthma. These results demonstrate that type-2 inflammation and indirect AHR in asthma are related to a shift in mast cell infiltration to the airway epithelium, and that mast cells cooperate with epithelial cells through IL-33 signaling to regulate type-2 inflammation.
