Leuven Belgium Background Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus MERS CoV causes pneumonia with a relatively high case fatality rate in humans Smokers and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD patients have been reported to be more susceptible to MERS CoV infection Here we determined the expression of MERS CoV receptor dipeptidyl peptidase IV DPP4 in lung tissues of smokers without airflow limitation and COPD patients in comparison to nonsmoking individuals never smokers Methods DPP4 expression was measured in lung tissue of lung resection specimens of never smokers smokers without air flow limitation COPD GOLD stage II patients and in lung explants of end stage COPD patients Both control subjects and COPD patients were well phenotyped and age matched The mRNA expression was determined using qRT PCR and protein expression was quantified using immunohistochemistry Results In smokers and subjects with COPD both DPP4 mRNA and protein expression were significantly higher compared to never smokers Additionally we found that both DPP4 mRNA and protein expression were inversely correlated with lung function and diffusing capacity parameters Conclusions We provide evidence that DPP4 is upregulated in the lungs of smokers and COPD patients which could partially explain why these individuals are more susceptible to MERS CoV infection These data also highlight a possible role of DPP4 in COPD pathogenesis Keywords Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus MERS CoV dipeptidyl peptidase 4 DPP4 smoking chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus MERS CoV is a newly emerging pathogen that mainly causes pneu monia with a relatively high case fatality rate 1 2 Since 2012 1900 laboratory confirmed cases have been reported to the World Health Organization WHO 2 The major ity of cases occurred in familial or hospital related clusters through human to human transmission 3 5 The clinical course of MERS CoV infection ranges from asymptomatic to acute respiratory distress syndrome with need for ventila tory support 3 5 7 To infect its host MERS CoV attaches to its receptor an exopeptidase called dipeptidyl peptidase 4 DPP4 also known as CD26 8 DPP4 is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed in many cell types and organs in the body It serves multiple functions among which post translational cleavage of hormones and chemokines T cell activation cell adhesion and apoptosis 9 11 In lungs however DPP4 is expressed at a minimum level 12 mainly in alveolar epithelial cells and endo thelial cells and to a lesser extent in bronchiolar epithelial cells airway submucosal glands alveolar macrophages lymphocytes and plasmacytoid dendritic cells 13 16 Importantly the alveo lar epithelial cells are the main target for MERS CoV 13 17 Several underlying comorbidities including chronic lung diseases have been reported to increase the risk of acquiring MERS CoV infection 18 Chronic obstructive pulmonary dis ease COPD is a highly prevalent chronic lung disease in older subjects and is currently the leading cause of death worldwide 19 20 The most common cause of COPD is chronic cigar ette smoking The inflammatory response to cigarette smoke results in an excessive release of chemokines and cytokines with a subsequent high influx of immune cells 20 Because smok ing has also been reported to increase susceptibility to MERS CoV infection 18 we aimed to investigate the expression of the MERS CoV receptor DPP4 in a large well phenotyped cohort of smokers with and without airflow limitation in comparison to age matched individuals that never smoked never smokers MAJOR ARTICLE The Author s 2017 Published by Oxford University Press for the Infectious Diseases

P 05 P 01 and P 001 RESULTS DPP4 mRNA Expression is Upregulated in Lungs of Smokers and COPD Patients Messenger RNA mRNA expression of DPP4 was analyzed in lung tissue of 92 subjects Lung tissue was derived from either resection tissue of lobectomy never smokers smokers without airflow lim itation and patients with COPD GOLD stage II or explant lungs of lung transplantation patients with COPD GOLD stage III IV Patient characteristics are described in supplementary Table 1 Compared to never smokers mRNA expression of DPP4 in lung tissue of smokers without airflow limitation and patients with COPD was significantly increased Figure 1A Moreover DPP4 mRNA expression in lung tissue of patients with COPD GOLD stage III IV was significantly higher than in lung tissue of smokers without airflow limitation and patients with COPD GOLD stage II Figure 1A Quantification according to smok ing status ex vs current smokers is shown in Supplementary Figure S1 Furthermore DPP4 mRNA expression was inversely correlated with the severity of airflow limitation FEV 1 R 0 376 P 001 and FEV 1 FVC ratio R 0 527 P 001 Figure 1B C In addition the mRNA expression of DPP4 was also correlated inversely with the diffusing capacity of the lung DLCO R 0 402 P 001 and KCO R 0 408 P 001 Figure 1D E Linear regression analysis revealed that the asso ciation of DPP4 mRNA expression with the presence of COPD was significant even when corrected for age sex pack years and use of inhaled corticosteroids Supplementary Table S3 Additionally because dendritic cells DCs play a crucial role in antiviral immunity we investigated whether DPP4 mRNA expression differs between DC subsets Three DC subsets were sorted langerin positive DCs DC SIGN positive DCs and plasmacytoid DCs pDCs DPP4 mRNA was merely detected in pDCs Supplementary Figure S2 DPP4 Protein Expression is Upregulated in Lungs of Smokers and COPD Patients DPP4 protein expression was studied in lung tissue of nev er smokers smokers without airflow limitation and COPD patients by using immunohistochemistry IHC staining DPP4 was detected on the apical surface of bronchiolar epithelium and in the alveolar epithelial cells In the alveoli we observed that DPP4 protein was gradually increased from never smok ers to COPD GOLD stage III IV Figure 2 Additionally we performed immunohistochemical staining of DPP4 with both aquaporin 5 marker of type I alveolar epithelial cells and pro surfactant C marker of type II alveolar epithelial cells confirming that the upregulation of DPP4 protein can mainly be contributed to the alveolar epithelial cells Figure 2I L In contrast this increment was not observed in the bronchiolar epithelium Figure 2A as well as in the proximal bronchial epithelium Figure 3 Furthermore DPP4 was also detected in the endothelial cells alveolar macrophages immune cells in the submucosal region of airway epithelium and lymphoid aggregates Supplementary Figure S3 We further quanti fied DPP4 signals in the lung tissues of 98 subjects using the Axiovision software Zeiss Characteristics of these patients are presented in supplementary Table 2 Compared to never smokers DPP4 protein expression was sig nificantly increased in the alveolar epithelial cells of smokers and patients with COPD DPP4 protein expression was the highest in patients with COPD GOLD stage III IV Figure 4A Quantification of DPP4 protein expression according to smoking status ex vs current smoking is shown in Supplementary Figure S4 Similar to DPP4 mRNA expression DPP4 protein was also inversely corre lated with lung function parameters FEV 1 R 0 567 P 001 and FEV 1 FVC ratio R 0 689 P 001 as well as diffusing capacity parameters DLCO R 0 603 P 001 and KCO R 0 563 P 001 Linear regression analysis revealed that the association of alveolar DPP4 expression with the presence of COPD was signif icant even when corrected for age gender pack years and use of inhaled corticosteroids Supplementary Table S4 DISCUSSION Our study investigated the expression of the MERS CoV receptor DPP4 in lung tissues of smokers without airflow limitation and COPD patients in comparison to never smokers As previously reported DPP4 is mainly detected in the alveolar epithelial cells of the lungs the main target of MERS CoV infection 13 15 Downloaded from by University of Washington user on 19 January 2018DPP4 in smoker s lungs CID 2018 66 1 January 49 Among the dendritic cells we found that DPP4 mRNA is mainly expressed in pDCs confirming in vitro data showing that among the antigen presenting cells pDCs produce large amounts of type I and III interferon upon contact with MERS CoV 14 Most importantly we provide evidence that DPP4 is upregulated in the lungs both at mRNA and protein level not only in COPD patients but also in that of smokers This indicates that these individuals may be more susceptible to MERS CoV supporting both smoking and COPD as risk factors for MERS CoV infection 18 These results are in line with a recent study describing a higher DPP4 expression in lungs of 4 COPD patients compared to 16 control subjects of different ages 13 In this study we did not find any evidence of DPP4 upreg ulation in the bronchial and bronchiolar epithelium in the lungs of smokers and COPD patients suggesting that DPP4 upregulation in pulmonary epithelia is restricted to the alveolar Figure 1 DPP4 mRNA
