We have recently shown that there is a fundamental difference in airway physiology between wildtype mice born to wildtype mothers and wildtype mice born to IL5 overexpressing mothers or housedust mite (HDM) sensitized mothers. The airways of adult wildtype offspring of these mothers are much more responsive, an effect that requires fetal eosinophilia that develops as the result of maternal IL5 crossing the placenta. Subsequent sensitization and challenge with housedust mite yields much more severe bronchoconstriction. The central hypothesis of this project is that high circulating IL5 during pregnancy induces fetal eosinophilia, and that this causes permanent changes in airway innervation that increase bronchoconstriction. In this project, we propose to determine the mechanisms of airway hyperreactivity in these WT offspring of IL5 transgenic mothers. We will characterize changes in airway nerve structure, transmitters, and receptor expression. We propose three specific aims: SPECIFIC AIM #1: Test the effects of maternal IL5tg and maternal HDM challenge on reflex bronchoconstriction, parasympathetic nerve function, and smooth muscle function. We will determine the role of maternal fetal transfer of IL5 in the maternal HDM challenge model, and test the role of maternal and fetal eosinophilia in these effects. We will also dissect the mechanisms of severe, lethal bronchoconstriction and potentiated airway inflammation when these adult offspring are antigen challenged. SPECIFIC AIM #2: Test whether exposure to IL5 in utero alters the architecture or neurotransmitter content of sensory and parasympathetic nerves. We will use our novel imaging method to determine epithelial and smooth muscle innervation, and to quantify changes in neurotransmitter expression in sensory and parasympathetic nerves. SPECIFIC AIM #3: To determine the role of airway epithelial neurotrophins in 1) heightened response to antigen challenge, 2) severe airway hyperresponsiveness, and 3) maintenance of airway nerve remodeling in adult offspring of IL5tg mothers and in adult offspring of HDM sensitized and challenged mothers. We will extend our preliminary studies of neurotrophin expression to include the different mouse models and treatments in Aim #1, and determine the roles of neurotrophins that are elevated by blocking with antibodies and treating animals with receptor antagonists.

我们最近表明，野生型小鼠气道生理有根本差异 出生于野生型母亲和野生型小鼠，出生于IL5过表达母亲或住房螨（HDM） 敏感的母亲。这些母亲的成年野生型后代的呼吸道反应迅速得多，这是 需要胎儿嗜酸性粒细胞的效果，而胎儿嗜酸性粒细胞是越过胎盘的母体IL5的结果。 随后对住房螨的敏感性和挑战产生了更严重的支气管收缩。 该项目的中心假设是怀孕期间高循环IL5会诱导胎儿 嗜酸性粒细胞，这会导致气道神经的永久变化 支气管收缩。在这个项目中，我们建议确定气道高反应性的机制 IL5转基因母亲的这些WT后代。我们将表征气道神经结构的变化， 发射器和受体表达。我们提出了三个具体目标： 特定目的＃1：测试母体IL5TG和母体HDM挑战对Reflex的影响 支气管收缩，副交感神经功能和平滑肌功能。我们将确定 母体胎儿转移IL5在母体HDM挑战模型中的作用，并测试母亲和母体的作用 这些作用中的胎儿嗜酸性粒细胞。我们还将剖析严重致命的支气管收缩的机制 当这些成年后代受到抗原挑战时，气道炎症会增强。 特定目的＃2：测试子宫内对IL5的暴露是改变体系结构还是神经递质内容 感觉和副交感神经。我们将使用我们的新成像方法来确定上皮和 平滑肌神经支配，并量化感觉和 副交感神经。 特定目的＃3：确定气道上皮神经营养蛋白在1）对 抗原挑战，2）严重的气道高反应性和3）维持气道神经重塑 IL5TG母亲的成年后代以及HDM敏感和挑战母亲的成年后代。我们将 扩展我们对神经营养蛋白表达的初步研究，包括不同的小鼠模型和 AIM＃1中的治疗方法，并确定通过用抗体阻断升高的神经营养蛋白的作用 并用受体拮抗剂治疗动物。
