RATIONALE: Lysocardiolipin acyltransferase (LYCAT), a cardiolipin-remodeling
enzyme regulating the 18:2 linoleic acid pattern of mammalian mitochondrial
cardiolipin, is necessary for maintaining normal mitochondrial function and
vascular development. We hypothesized that modulation of LYCAT expression in lung
epithelium regulates development of pulmonary fibrosis. OBJECTIVES: To define a
role for LYCAT in human and murine models of pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS: We
analyzed the correlation of LYCAT expression in peripheral blood mononuclear
cells (PBMCs) with the outcomes of pulmonary functions and overall survival, and
used the murine models to establish the role of LYCAT in fibrogenesis. We studied
the LYCAT action on cardiolipin remodeling, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species
generation, and apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells under bleomycin challenge.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: LYCAT expression was significantly altered in
PBMCs and lung tissues from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF),
which was confirmed in two preclinical murine models of IPF, bleomycin- and
radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis. LYCAT mRNA expression in PBMCs directly and
significantly correlated with carbon monoxide diffusion capacity, pulmonary
function outcomes, and overall survival. In both bleomycin- and radiation-induced
pulmonary fibrosis murine models, hLYCAT overexpression reduced several indices
of lung fibrosis, whereas down-regulation of native LYCAT expression by siRNA
accentuated fibrogenesis. In vitro studies demonstrated that LYCAT modulated
bleomycin-induced cardiolipin remodeling, mitochondrial membrane potential,
reactive oxygen species generation, and apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells,
potential mechanisms of LYCAT-mediated lung protection. CONCLUSIONS: This study
is the first to identify modulation of LYCAT expression in fibrotic lungs and
offers a novel therapeutic approach for ameliorating lung inflammation and
pulmonary fibrosis.
