    Both mouse bronchial EpCAM + epithelial cells (Cell Biologics, Inc) and mouse bronchial fibroblasts MM14.Lu (ATCC) were cultured at 1 × 10 5 cells/well and stimulated in the absence (media) or presence of 100 ng/mL of recombinant murine cytokines for 24 h at 37 °C in 5 % CO 2 . After incubation, IL-11 levels were measured in the culture supernatant (A). Both cell types were also stimulated in absence or in the presence of recombinant mouse TGF-b1 at different concentrations (1, 10, 100, 1000 ng/mL) in the same culture conditions as above, for IL-11 quantification in the culture supernatant (B). Finally, both mouse bronchial fibroblasts and epithelial cells were stimulated in the same conditions with recombinant mouse IL-11 in a dose–response manner (0, 0.2, 2, 20 and 200 ng/mL) for the quantification of CXCL-1 (C), IL-6 (D) and G-CSF (E) levels in the culture supernatant. Scatter plots represent the geometric mean of four replicates, and the p-values are indicated in each graph. Differences between the groups were considered statistically significant when P < 0.05. Data are representative of 2 independent in vitro experiments with 3–4 replicates each.

    Ascaris larval migration from the pulmonary circulation into the lung parenchyma and airways induces mechanical and inflammatory injury to endothelial and epithelial barriers. This tissue damage triggers the rapid upregulation of IL-11 within the lung microenvironment. Based on our data, EpCAM + epithelial cells, PECAM + endothelial cells, and peribronchial stromal populations, including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, pericytes and airway smooth muscle cells, represent the major sources of IL-11 in helminth-infected lungs. Fibroblasts, and likely differentiated myofibroblasts, respond to TGF-β signaling by inducing IL-11 expression, consistent with established profibrotic pathways. In contrast, the mechanisms by which larval stages directly stimulate epithelial, endothelial, and smooth muscle cells remain unclear. Here, we hypothesize that these structural cell populations act as early responders to tissue damage, rapidly upregulating IL-11 and positioning it as an alarmin-like mediator that amplifies downstream inflammatory responses during acute infection. IL-11 signaling within epithelial and stromal compartments promotes the production of neutrophil-associated mediators, including CXCL-1, G-CSF, and IL-6, leading to an early and robust recruitment of neutrophils from the circulation into lung tissue. Recruited neutrophils, themselves a major source of IL-6, further contribute to sustained pulmonary inflammation. Notably, IL-11-producing cell populations express high levels of IL-11Rα1, supporting a model in which IL-11 signaling is reinforced through autocrine and paracrine feedback loops within damaged lung niches during helminth infection.

    K306 has biological activity consistent with SHIP1 agonistic activity and is a more potent agonist than the pelorol AQX-MN100 (A) IL-6 and (B)TNF-α production by BV2 microglia cells stimulated with LPS for 6 h or 2 h, respectively, as measured from supernatants by ELISA. (Representative results of two independent comparisons of all potential agonists at 5μM). All cells were treated with agonists or vehicle control 1 h before LPS challenge. Bars indicate mean ±SEM. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way ANOVA with Dunnett correction for multiple comparisons versus control (DMSO), ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗p < 0.05). 5′ fluorescence polarization Assay (FP) to measure PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3 5′ phosphatase activity on (C) tSHIP1 with K306 and MN-100 and (D) SHIP1-Enzyme (S1-Enz) and SHIP2-Enzyme (S2-Enz) with K306. EC 50 of K306 and MN-100 on tSHIP1 and the EC 50 of K306 on S1-Enz and S2-Enz were calculated by incubating dilutions of K306 or MN-100 with either enzyme for 20 min at 37°C. PI(3,4)P 2 generated by the SHIP enzymes is then measured using the FP assay (Echelon Biosciences). Control reactions include probe alone (PA), where all the probe is free rotating and thus not polarized and no-enzyme (NE) control, where the probe is not displaced from the detector by enzymatically generated PI(3,4)P 2 and highly polarized. Shown is one of 2 independent experiments with 6 replicate wells/compound concentration. EC 50 was calculated with Prizm version 9.3.1, using Nonlinear regression [Agonist] vs. response (three parameters), using Robust Fitting method, Medium Convergence Criteria, No Weighting and Considering every Y replicate as an individual point.

    Ascaris larval migration from the pulmonary circulation into the lung parenchyma and airways induces mechanical and inflammatory injury to endothelial and epithelial barriers. This tissue damage triggers the rapid upregulation of IL-11 within the lung microenvironment. Based on our data, EpCAM + epithelial cells, PECAM + endothelial cells, and peribronchial stromal populations, including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, pericytes and airway smooth muscle cells, represent the major sources of IL-11 in helminth-infected lungs. Fibroblasts, and likely differentiated myofibroblasts, respond to TGF-β signaling by inducing IL-11 expression, consistent with established profibrotic pathways. In contrast, the mechanisms by which larval stages directly stimulate epithelial, endothelial, and smooth muscle cells remain unclear. Here, we hypothesize that these structural cell populations act as early responders to tissue damage, rapidly upregulating IL-11 and positioning it as an alarmin-like mediator that amplifies downstream inflammatory responses during acute infection. IL-11 signaling within epithelial and stromal compartments promotes the production of neutrophil-associated mediators, including CXCL-1, G-CSF, and IL-6, leading to an early and robust recruitment of neutrophils from the circulation into lung tissue. Recruited neutrophils, themselves a major source of IL-6, further contribute to sustained pulmonary inflammation. Notably, IL-11-producing cell populations express high levels of IL-11Rα1, supporting a model in which IL-11 signaling is reinforced through autocrine and paracrine feedback loops within damaged lung niches during helminth infection.

    Ascaris larval migration from the pulmonary circulation into the lung parenchyma and airways induces mechanical and inflammatory injury to endothelial and epithelial barriers. This tissue damage triggers the rapid upregulation of IL-11 within the lung microenvironment. Based on our data, EpCAM + epithelial cells, PECAM + endothelial cells, and peribronchial stromal populations, including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, pericytes and airway smooth muscle cells, represent the major sources of IL-11 in helminth-infected lungs. Fibroblasts, and likely differentiated myofibroblasts, respond to TGF-β signaling by inducing IL-11 expression, consistent with established profibrotic pathways. In contrast, the mechanisms by which larval stages directly stimulate epithelial, endothelial, and smooth muscle cells remain unclear. Here, we hypothesize that these structural cell populations act as early responders to tissue damage, rapidly upregulating IL-11 and positioning it as an alarmin-like mediator that amplifies downstream inflammatory responses during acute infection. IL-11 signaling within epithelial and stromal compartments promotes the production of neutrophil-associated mediators, including CXCL-1, G-CSF, and IL-6, leading to an early and robust recruitment of neutrophils from the circulation into lung tissue. Recruited neutrophils, themselves a major source of IL-6, further contribute to sustained pulmonary inflammation. Notably, IL-11-producing cell populations express high levels of IL-11Rα1, supporting a model in which IL-11 signaling is reinforced through autocrine and paracrine feedback loops within damaged lung niches during helminth infection.
