The Role of Secreted Frizzled-related Protein-1 in Allergic Asthma
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF RESPIRATORY CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY(2022)
摘要
Although allergic asthma is a highly prevalent chronic inflammatory condition, the underlying pathogenesis driving T-helper cell type 2 inflammation is not well understood. Wnt/beta-catenin signaling has been implicated, but the influence of individual members of the pathway is not clear. We hypothesized that SFRP-1 (secreted frizzled-related protein-1), a Wnt signaling modulator, plays an important role in the development of allergic inflammation in asthma. Using an in vivo house dust mite asthma model, SFRP-1(-/-) mice were sensitized, and their BAL fluid was collected to evaluate airway inflammation. SFRP-1(-/-) mice exhibited less inflammation with reduced cellular infiltration and concentration of IL-5 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid compared with wild-type (WT) mice. Similar findings were observed in WT mice treated with SFRP-1 inhibitor, WAY316606. Alveolar macrophages from sensitized SFRP-1(-/-) mice demonstrated reduced alternative polarization compared with WT, indicating that macrophages could mediate the alteration in inflammation seen in these mice. These findings suggest that SFRP-1 is an important potentiator of asthmatic airway inflammation.
