RESUMO

Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are two clinically and histologically distinct syndromes sharing the presence of an inflammatory and fibrotic component. Apoptosis via the Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) pathway plays an important role in the development of acute lung injury and fibrosis characteristic of these and other pulmonary inflammatory and fibrotic syndromes. We evaluated the role of apoptosis via the Fas/FasL pathway in the development of pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in reovirus 1/L-induced BOOP and ARDS. CBA/J mice were intranasally inoculated with saline, 1 x 10(6) (BOOP), or 1 x 10(7) (ARDS) PFU reovirus 1/L, and evaluated at various days postinoculation for in situ apoptosis by TUNEL analysis and Fas/FasL expression. Our results demonstrate the presence of apoptotic cells and up-regulation of Fas/FasL expression in alveolar epithelium and in infiltrating cells during the inflammatory and fibrotic stages of both reovirus 1/L-induced ARDS and BOOP. Treatment of mice with the caspase 8 inhibitor, zIETD-fmk, inhibited apoptosis, inflammation, and fibrotic lesion development in reovirus 1/L-induced BOOP and ARDS. However, CBA/KlJms-Fas(lpr-cg)/J mice, which carry a point mutation in the Fas cytoplasmic region that abolishes the ability of Fas to transduce an apoptotic signal, do not develop pulmonary inflammation and fibrotic lesions associated with reovirus 1/L-induced BOOP, but still develop inflammation and fibrotic lesions associated with reovirus 1/L-induced ARDS. These results suggest a differential role for the Fas/FasL apoptotic pathway in the development of inflammation and fibrotic lesions associated with BOOP and ARDS.

RESUMO

Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a clinical syndrome characterized by perivascular/peribronchiolar leukocyte infiltration leading to the development of intraalveolar fibrosis. We have developed an animal model of BOOP where CBA/J mice infected with 1 x 10(6) plaque-forming units (PFU) reovirus 1/L develop follicular bronchiolitis and intraalveolar fibrosis similar to human BOOP. In this report, we demonstrate a role for T cells in the development of intraluminal fibrosis associated with BOOP. Corticosteroid treatment of reovirus 1/L-infected mice both inhibited the development of fibrotic lesions when administered early in the time-course and promoted the resolution of fibrotic lesions when corticosteroid administration was delayed. Further, the depletion of either CD4(+) or CD8(+) T cells before reovirus 1/L infection also inhibited fibrotic lesion development. Both corticosteroid treatment and depletion of CD4(+) or CD8(+) T cells also resulted in decreased expression of the proinflammatory and profibrotic cytokines, interferon (IFN)-gamma and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). Further, treatment of mice with a neutralizing monoclonal antibody to IFN-gamma also significantly inhibited the development of fibrosis. Taken together, these results suggest a significant role for T cells in the development of reovirus 1/L-induced BOOP fibrotic lesions in CBA/J mice and suggests that T(H)1-derived cytokines, especially IFN-gamma, may play a key role in fibrotic lesion development.
