Investigating the regulatory role of ORMDL3 in airway barrier dysfunction using in vivo and in vitro models.

Abstract：

:The airway epithelium (AE) is the main protective barrier between the host and external environmental factors causing asthma. Allergens or pathogens induce AE dysfunction, including epithelial permeability alteration, trans‑epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) reduction, upregulation of inflammatory mediators and downregulation of junctional complex molecules. Orosomucoid‑like protein isoform 3 (ORMDL3), a gene closely associated with childhood onset asthma, is involved in airway inflammation and remodeling. It was hypothesized that ORMDL3 plays an important role in regulating AE barrier function. In vivo [chronic asthma induced by ovalbumin‑respiratory syncytial virus (OVA‑RSV)] in mice) and in vitro (human bronchial epithelial cells and 16HBE cells) models were used to assess ORMDL3's role in AE function regulation, evaluating paracellular permeability, TEER and the expression levels of junctional complex molecules. The effects of ORMDL3 on the extracellular signal‑regulated protein kinase (ERK) pathway were determined. In mice with OVA‑RSV induced chronic asthma, ORMDL3 and sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) were upregulated whereas the junction related proteins Claudin‑18 and E‑cadherin were downregulated. Overexpression of ORMDL3 resulted in decreased TEER, downregulation of junctional complex molecules and induced epithelial permeability. In contrast, ORMDL3 inhibition showed the opposite effects. In 16HBE cells, ORMDL3 overexpression induced SPHK1 distribution and activity, while SPHK1 inhibition resulted in increased TEER upon administration of an ORMDL3 agonist or ORMDL3 overexpression. In addition, ERK activation occurred downstream of SPHK1 activation in 16HBE cells. High levels of ORMDL3 result in damaged AE barrier function by inducing the SPHK1/ERK pathway.
