We addressed the in vivo role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-γ (PI3K-γ) in signaling the sequestration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) in lungs and in the mechanism of inflammatory lung vascular injury. We studied mice with deletion of the p110 catalytic subunit of PI3K-γ (PI3K-γ−/− mice). We measured lung tissue PMN sequestration, microvascular permeability, and edema formation after bacteremia induced by intraperitoneal Escherichia coli challenge. PMN infiltration into the lung interstitium in PI3K-γ−/− mice as assessed morphometrically was increased 100% over that in control mice within 1 h after bacterial challenge. PI3K-γ−/− mice also developed a greater increase in lung microvascular permeability after E. coli challenge, resulting in edema formation. The augmented lung tissue PMN sequestration in PI3K-γ−/− mice was associated with increased expression of the PMN adhesive proteins CD47 and β3-integrins. We observed increased association of CD47 and β3-integrins with the extracellular matrix protein vitronectin in lungs of PI3K-γ−/− mice after E. coli challenge. PMNs from these mice also showed increased β3-integrin expression and augmented β3-integrin-dependent PMN adhesion to vitronectin. These results point to a key role of PMN PI3K-γ in negatively regulating CD47 and β3-integrin expression in gram-negative sepsis. PI3K-γ activation in PMNs induced by E. coli may modulate the extent of lung tissue PMN sequestration secondary to CD47 and β3-integrin expression. Therefore, the level of PI3K-γ activation may be an important determinant of PMN-dependent lung vascular injury.

In Vivo Effects

To inactivate chronically the β2-integrin CD11b (Mac-1), we made a transgenic model in mice in which we expressed the CD11b antagonist polypeptide neutrophil inhibitory factor (NIF). Using these mice, we determined the in vivo effects of CD11b inactivation on polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) function and acute lung injury (ALI) induced by Escherichia coli septicemia. In wild-type PMNs, CD11b expression was induced within 1 h after E. coli challenge, whereas this response was significantly reduced in NIF+/+ PMNs. Coimmunoprecipitation studies showed that NIF associated with CD11b in NIF+/+ PMNs. To validate the effectiveness of CD11b blockade, we compared PMN function in NIF+/+ and Mac-1-deficient (Mac-1−/−) mice. Adhesion of both Mac-1−/− and NIF+/+ PMNs to endothelial cells in response to LPS was reduced in both types of PMNs and fully blocked only by the addition of anti-CD11a monoclonal antibody. This finding is indicative of intact CD11a function in the NIF+/+ PMNs but the blockade of CD11b function. CD11b inactivation in NIF+/+ mice interfered with lung PMN infiltration induced by E. coli and prevented the increase in lung microvessel permeability and edema formation, with most of the protection seen in the 1-h period after the E. coli. Thus our results demonstrate that CD11b plays a crucial role in mediating lung PMN sequestration and vascular injury in the early phase of gram-negative septicemia. The NIF+/+ mouse model, in which CD11b is inactivated by binding to NIF, is a potentially useful model for in vivo assessment of the role of PMN CD11b in the mechanism of vascular inflammation.

The Relationship

We examined the relationship between neutrophil [polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)] influx and lung vascular injury in response to Escherichia coli pneumonia. We assessed lung tissue PMN uptake by measuring myeloperoxidase and transvascular PMN migration by determining PMN counts in lung interstitium and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in mice challenged intratracheally with E. coli. Lung vascular injury was quantified by determining microvessel filtration coefficient ( Kf,c), a measure of vascular permeability. We addressed the role of CD18 integrin in the mechanism of PMN migration and lung vascular injury by inducing the expression of neutrophil inhibitory factor, a CD11/CD18 antagonist. In control animals, we observed a time-dependent sixfold increase in PMN uptake, a fivefold increase in airway PMN migration, and a 20-fold increase in interstitial PMN uptake at 6 h after challenge. Interestingly, Kf,cincreased minimally during this period of PMN extravasation. CD11/CD18 blockade reduced lung tissue PMN uptake consistent with the role of CD18 in mediating PMN adhesion to the endothelium but failed to alter PMN migration in the tissue. Moreover, CD11/CD18 blockade did not affect Kf,c. Analysis of BALF leukocytes demonstrated diminished oxidative burst compared with leukocytes from bacteremic mice, suggesting a basis for lack of vascular injury. The massive CD11/CD18-independent airway PMN influx occurring in the absence of lung vascular injury is indicative of an efficient host-defense response elicited by E. coli pneumonia.

H441 cells, a bronchiolar epithelial cell line, develop a cAMP-regulated benzamil-sensitive Na+ transport pathway on permeable supports (Itani OA, Auerbach SD, Husted RF, Volk KA, Ageloff S, Knepper MA, Stokes JB, Thomas CP. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 282: L631–L641, 2002). To understand the molecular basis for the stimulation of Na+ transport, we delineated the role of specific intracellular pathways and examined the effect of cAMP on αβγ-epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) and sgk1 expression. Na+ transport increases within 5 min of cAMP stimulation and is sustained for >24 h. The sustained effect of cAMP on Na+ transport is abolished by LY-294002, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, by H89, an inhibitor of PKA, or by SB-202190, an inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase. The sustained effect of cAMP was associated with increases in α-ENaC mRNA and protein but without a detectable increase in βγ-ENaC and sgk1. The early effect of cAMP on Na+ transport is brefeldin sensitive and is mediated via PKA. These results are consistent with a model where the early effect of cAMP is to increase trafficking of Na+ channels to the apical cell surface whereas the sustained effect requires the synthesis of α-ENaC.

Drosophila nephrocytes are an emerging model system for mammalian podocytes and podocyte-associated diseases. Like podocytes, nephrocytes exhibit characteristics of epithelial cells, but the role of phospholipids in polarization of these cells is yet unclear. In epithelia phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) and phosphatidylinositol(3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) are asymmetrically distributed in the plasma membrane and determine apical-basal polarity. Here we demonstrate that both phospholipids are present in the plasma membrane of nephrocytes, but only PI(4,5)P2 accumulates at slit diaphragms. Knockdown of Skittles, a phosphatidylinositol(4)phosphate 5-kinase, which produces PI(4,5)P2, abolished slit diaphragm formation and led to strongly reduced endocytosis. Notably, reduction in PI(3,4,5)P3 by overexpression of PTEN or expression of a dominant-negative phosphatidylinositol-3-Kinase did not affect nephrocyte function, whereas enhanced formation of PI(3,4,5)P3 by constitutively active phosphatidylinositol-3-Kinase resulted in strong slit diaphragm and endocytosis defects by ectopic activation of the Akt/mTOR pathway. Thus, PI(4,5)P2 but not PI(3,4,5)P3 is essential for slit diaphragm formation and nephrocyte function. However, PI(3,4,5)P3 has to be tightly controlled to ensure nephrocyte development.

Phosphatidylinositol 3

Abstract It has been suggested that downstream signaling from the insulin receptor to the level of the protein kinases and protein phosphatases is accomplished by prostaglandylinositol cyclic phosphate (cyclic PIP), a proposed second messenger of insulin. However, evidence points also to both phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, which binds to the tyrosine phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate-1, and the Ras complex in insulin's downstream signaling. We have examined whether a correlation exists between these various observations. It was found that wortmannin, a specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, prevented insulin-induced, as well as cyclic PIP-induced activation of glucose transport, indicating that PI 3-kinase action on glucose transport involves downstream signaling of both insulin and cyclic PIP. Wortmannin has no effect on cyclic PIP synthase activity nor on the substrate production for cyclic PIP synthesis either, indicating that the functional role of PI 3-kinase is exclusively downstream of cyclic PIP.
