Lung Gene Expression Suggests Roles for Interferon-Stimulated Genes and Adenosine Deaminase Acting against RNA-1 in Pathologic Responses to Diisocyanate

Mechanisms underlying methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and other low molecular weight chemical-induced asthma are unclear and appear distinct from those of high molecular weight (HMW) allergen-induced asthma. We sought to elucidate molecular pathways that differentiate asthma-like pathogenic vs nonpathogenic responses to respiratory tract MDI exposure in a murine model. Lung gene expression differences in MDI exposed immune-sensitized and nonsensitized mice vs unexposed controls were measured by microarrays, and associated molecular pathways were identified through bioinformatic analyses and further compared with published studies of a prototypic HMW asthmagen (ovalbumin). Respiratory tract MDI exposure significantly altered lung gene expression in both nonsensitized and immune-sensitized mice, vs controls. Fifty-three gene transcripts were altered in all MDI exposed lung tissue vs controls, with levels up to 10-fold higher in immune-sensitized vs nonsensitized mice. Gene transcripts selectively increased in MDI exposed immune-sensitized animals were dominated by chitinases and chemokines and showed substantial overlap with those increased in ovalbumin-induced asthma. In contrast, MDI exposure of nonsensitized mice increased type I interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) in a pattern reflecting deficiency in adenosine deaminase acting against RNA (ADAR-1), an important regulator of innate, as well as "sterile" or autoimmunity triggered by tissue damage. Thus, MDI-induced changes in lung gene expression were identified that differentiate nonpathogenic innate responses in nonsensitized hosts from pathologic adaptive responses in immune-sensitized hosts. The data suggest that MDI alters unique biological pathways involving ISGs and ADAR-1, potentially explaining its unique immunogenicity/allergenicity.
