PG - 76-88 LID - 10.1165/rcmb.2021-0433OC [doi] AB - Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is characterized by neutrophil-dominated inflammation resulting in emphysema. The cholesterol-rich neutrophil outer plasma membrane plays a central role in adhesion and subsequent transmigration to underlying tissues. This study aimed to investigate mechanisms of increased neutrophil adhesion in AATD and whether alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) augmentation therapy abrogates this effect. Plasma and blood neutrophils were donated by healthy controls (n = 20), AATD (n = 30), and AATD patients after AAT augmentation therapy (n = 6). Neutrophil membrane protein expression was investigated using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The effect of once-weekly intravenous AAT augmentation therapy was assessed by calcium fluorometric, mu-calpain, and cell adhesion assays. Decreased neutrophil plasma membrane cholesterol content (P = 0.03), yet increased abundance of integrin alpha-M (fold change 1.91), integrin alpha-L (fold change 3.76), and cytoskeletal adaptor proteins including talin-1 (fold change 4.04) were detected on AATD neutrophil plasma membrane fractions. The described inflammatory induced structural changes were a result of a more than twofold increased cytosolic calcium concentration (P = 0.02), leading to significant calcium-dependent mu-calpain activity (3.5-fold change; P = 0.005), resulting in proteolysis of the membrane cholesterol trafficking protein caveolin-1. Treatment of AAT-deficient individuals with AAT augmentation therapy resulted in increased caveolin-1 and membrane cholesterol content (111.8 +/- 15.5 vs. 64.18 +/- 7.8 mug/2 x 10(7) cells before and after treatment, respectively; P = 0.02), with concurrent decreased neutrophil integrin expression and adhesion. Results demonstrate an auxiliary benefit of AAT augmentation therapy, evident by a decrease in circulating inflammation and controlled neutrophil adhesion.
