Sex Dimorphism of Allergen-Induced Secreted Proteins in Murine and Human Lungs
Biological sex influences disease severity, prevalence and response to therapy in allergic asthma. However, allergen-mediated sex-specific changes in lung protein biomarkers remain undefined. Here, we report sex-related differences in specific proteins secreted in the lungs of both mice and humans,...

description | Biological sex influences disease severity, prevalence and response to therapy in allergic asthma. However, allergen-mediated sex-specific changes in lung protein biomarkers remain undefined. Here, we report sex-related differences in specific proteins secreted in the lungs of both mice and humans, in response to inhaled allergens. Female and male BALB/c mice (7-8 weeks) were intranasally challenged with the allergen house dust mite (HDM) for 2 weeks. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected 24 hour after the last HDM challenge from allergen-naïve and HDM-challenged mice (N=10 per group, each sex). In a human study, adult participants were exposed to nebulized (2 min) allergens (based on individual sensitivity), BALF was obtained after 24 hour (N=5 each female and male). The BALF samples were examined in immunoblots for the abundance of 10 proteins shown to increase in response to allergen in both murine and human BALF, selected from proteomics studies. We showed significant sex-bias in allergen-driven increase in five out of the 10 selected proteins. Of these, increase in eosinophil peroxidase (EPX) was significantly higher in females compared to males, in both mice and human BALF. We also showed specific sex-related differences between murine and human samples. For example, allergen-driven increase in S100A8 and S100A9 was significantly higher in BALF of females compared to males in mice, but significantly higher in males compared to females in humans. Overall, this study provides sex-specific protein biomarkers that are enhanced in response to allergen in murine and human lungs, informing and motivating translational research in allergic asthma. |
