AB  - Background: Although still considered a safer alternative to classical cigarettes, growing body of work points toharmful effects of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) affecting a range of cellular processes. The biological effect ofe-cigarettes needs to be investigated in more detail considering their widespread use.Methods: In this study, we treated V79 lung fibroblasts with sub-cytotoxic concentration of e-cigarette liquids, withand without nicotine. Mutagenicity was evaluated by HPRT assay, genotoxicity by comet assay and the effect on cel-lular communication by metabolic cooperation assay. Additionally, comprehensive proteome analysis was performedvia high resolution, parallel accumulation serial fragmentation-PASEF mass spectrometry.Results: E-cigarette liquid concentration used in this study showed no mutagenic or genotoxic effect, however itnegatively impacted metabolic cooperation between V79 cells. Both e-cigarette liquids induced significant depletionin total number of proteins and impairment of mitochondrial function in treated cells. The focal adhesion proteinswere upregulated, which is in accordance with the results of metabolic cooperation assay. Increased presence of post-translational modifications (PTMs), including carbonylation and direct oxidative modifications, was observed. Data areavailable via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD032071.Conclusions: Our study revealed impairment of metabolic cooperation as well as significant proteome and PTMsalterations in V79 cells treated with e-cigarette liquid warranting future studies on e-cigarettes health impact.

AB  - The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV2 virus poses a global health threat with over 5 million deaths recorded. There is little understanding regarding SARS-CoV2 pathogenesis in the human airways and disease severity increases with age. Neutrophils are white blood cells found in large numbers in the airways of the lungs in severe COVID-19 patients. It is not known whether this influx of neutrophils into the airway has a protective or detrimental effect. We aim to understand the role of neutrophils during COVID-19 pathology, using an experimental infection model of the airway epithelium from the eldelry and children. To do this, we collect nasal airway cells from healthy elderly and children and grow them at air-liquid interface. Once differentiation and ciliation of these cells is reached, we infect the cells with SARS-CoV2 virus and allow neutrophils to migrate from the basolateral (blood) to the apical (air) side of the epithelium, similar to a physiological airway. Using flow cytometric analyses, we measure the expression of activation markers and the number of neutrophils that migrate across the epithelium of different ages in response to SARS-CoV2 infection. Preliminary work shows less viable neutrophils recovered from the elderly epithelium, more activated neutrophils when migrating through the elderly epithelium, as well as increased numbers of neutrophils remaining on the basolateral (blood) side of the elderly epithelium. These findings point to an inflammatory neutrophil phenotype influenced by the damaged elderly epithelium and supports the hypothesis that neutrophils are responsible for the severity of disease.

AB  - The incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS) and susceptibility of animals to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the most commonly used experimental model of MS, decrease with aging. Generally, autoimmune diseases develop as the ultimate outcome of an imbalance between damaging immune responses against self and regulatory immune responses (keeping the former under control). Thus, in this review the age-related changes possibly underlying this balance were discussed. Specifically, considering the central role of T cells in MS/EAE, the impact of aging on overall functional capacity (reflecting both overall count and individual functional cell properties) of self-reactive conventional T cells (Tcons) and FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), as the most potent immunoregulatory/suppressive cells, was analyzed, as well. The analysis encompasses three distinct compartments: thymus (the primary lymphoid organ responsible for the elimination of self-reactive T cells – negative selection and the generation of Tregs, compensating for imperfections of the negative selection), peripheral blood/lymphoid tissues (“afferent” compartment), and brain/spinal cord tissues (“target” compartment). Given that the incidence of MS and susceptibility of animals to EAE are greater in women/females than in age-matched men/males, sex as independent variable was also considered. In conclusion, with aging, sex-specific alterations in the balance of self-reactive Tcons/Tregs are likely to occur not only in the thymus/”afferent” compartment, but also in the “target” compartment, reflecting multifaceted changes in both T-cell types. Their in depth understanding is important not only for envisaging effects of aging, but also for designing interventions to slow-down aging without any adverse effect on incidence of autoimmune diseases.

AB  - Monocytes' plasticity has an important role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease exhibiting greater prevalence in women. Contribution of this phenomenon to sex bias in RA severity was investigated in rat collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model of RA. The greater severity of CIA in females (exhibiting signs of bone resorption) was accompanied by the higher blood level of advanced oxidation protein products and a more pro-oxidant profile. Consistently, in females, the greater density of giant multinuclear cells (monocytes/macrophages and osteoclasts) in inflamed joint tissue was found. This correlated with the higher frequencies of CCR2- and CX3CR1- expressing cells (precursors of inflammatory monocytes/macrophages and osteoclasts) among CD11b+ splenocytes. This in conjunction with the enhanced migratory capacity of CD11b+ monocytic cells in females compared with males could be linked with the higher frequencies of CCR2+CX3CR1-CD43(low)CD11b+ and CCR2-CX3CR1+CD43(hi)CD11b+ cells (corresponding to "classical" and "non-classical" monocytes, respectively) and the greater density of CD68+ cells (monocytes/macrophages and osteoclast precursors/osteoclasts) in blood and inflamed paws from female rats, respectively. Consistently, the higher levels of GM-CSF, TNF-alpha and IL-6, IL-1 beta (driving Th17 cell differentiation), and IL-17 followed by the lower level of IL-10 were measured in inflamed paw cultures from female compared with male rats. To the greater IL-17 production (associated with enhanced monocyte immigration and differentiation into osteoclasts) most likely contributed augmented Th17 cell generation in the lymph nodes draining arthritic joints from female compared with male rats. Overall, the study suggests the sex-specific contribution of monocytic lineage cells to CIA, and possibly RA development.
