TLDR
Development of immortalized human airway BC that retain multipotent differentiation capacity over long-term culture should be useful in understanding the biology of BC, the response of BC to environmental stress, and as a target for assessment of pharmacologic agents.
Abstract
Background As the multipotent progenitor population of the airway epithelium, human airway basal cells (BC) replenish the specialized differentiated cell populations of the mucociliated airway epithelium during physiological turnover and repair. Cultured primary BC divide a limited number of times before entering a state of replicative senescence, preventing the establishment of long-term replicating cultures of airway BC that maintain their original phenotype.

Dual SMAD Signaling Inhibition Enables Long-Term Expansion of Diverse Epithelial Basal Cells.

TL;DR: This work shows that dual inhibition of SMAD signaling pathways enables robust expansion of primary epithelial basal cell populations in airway epithelia, and finds that TGFβ/BMP/SMAD pathway signaling is strongly activated in luminal and suprabasal cells of several epithelium, but suppressed in p63+ basal cells.

Type I Interferon Susceptibility Distinguishes SARS-CoV-2 from SARS-CoV.

TL;DR: Evaluating type I interferon (IFN-I) sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 relative to the original SARS -CoV indicates that while Sars-Cov-2 maintains similar viral replication to SARsCoV, the novel CoV is much more sensitive to IFn-I.

SARS-CoV-2 sensitive to type I interferon pretreatment.

TL;DR: Evaluating type-I Interferon (IFN-I) sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 relative to the original SARS -CoV indicates the novel CoV is much more sensitive to IFn-I pretreatment, while the absence of open reading frame (ORF) 3b and significant changes to ORF6 suggest the two key IFN antagonists may not maintain equivalent function in SARS.

Expression of the SARS-CoV-2 ACE2 Receptor in the Human Airway Epithelium.

TL;DR: ACE2, the gene encoding the receptor for SARS-CoV-2, is expressed in the human airway epithelium, with variations in expression relevant to the biology of initial steps in Sars-Co V-2 infection.

Type I interferon susceptibility distinguishes SARS-CoV-2 from SARS-CoV

TL;DR: SARS-CoV-2 has similar replication kinetics to SARS- CoV, but demonstrates significant sensitivity to type I interferon treatment, which could help inform disease progression, treatment options, and animal model development.

Advanced mammalian gene transfer: high titre retroviral vectors with multiple drug selection markers and a complementary helper-free packaging cell line

TL;DR: Together, the pBabe vectors and omega E cell line should prove useful in experiments where highest frequencies of gene transfer, or concomitant expression of several different genes within a single cell are required with minimal risk of helper virus contamination.

Basal cells as stem cells of the mouse trachea and human airway epithelium

TL;DR: The pseudostratified epithelium of the mouse trachea and human airways contains a population of basal cells expressing Trp-63 and cytokeratins 5, which generate differentiated cells during postnatal growth and in the adult during both steady state and epithelial repair.

CFTR expression and chloride secretion in polarized immortal human bronchial epithelial cells.

TL;DR: The successful establishment of a postcrisis SV40 large T-antigen transformed epithelial cell line derived from human bronchial epithelium is described, and this cell line, 16HBE14o- cells, provides a valuable resource for studying the modulation of CFTR and its role in regulation of chloride ion transport in human airway epithelia as well as other aspects of human airways cell biology.

Transformation of Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells by Infection with SV40 or Adenovirus-12 SV40 Hybrid Virus, or Transfection via Strontium Phosphate Coprecipitation with a Plasmid Containing SV40 Early Region Genes

TL;DR: Normal human bronchial epithelial cells were infected with SV40 virus or an adenovirus 12-SV40 hybrid virus, or transfected via strontium phosphate coprecipitation with plasmids containing the SV40 early region genes, and Colonies of morphologically altered cells were isolated and cultured.

The airway epithelium in asthma

TL;DR: Improved understanding of the epithelium's function in maintaining the integrity of the airways and its dysfunction in asthma has provided important mechanistic insight into how asthma is initiated and perpetuated and could provide a framework by which to select new therapeutic strategies that prevent exacerbations and alter the natural course of the disease.
