Abstrakt: Airway epithelial cells represent the first line of defense against respiratory pathogens. Flagellin drives the motility of many mucosal pathogens and has been suggested as an immune enhancing adjunctive therapeutic in infections of the airways. This study leveraged single-cell RNA sequencing to determine cell-specific effects of flagellin in primary human bronchial epithelial cells growing in air-liquid interface. Seven cell clusters were identified, including ciliated cells, ionocytes, and several states of basal and secretory cells, of which only inflammatory basal cells and inflammatory secretory cells demonstrated a proportional increase in response to flagellin. Inflammatory secretory cells showed evidence of metabolic reprogramming toward aerobic glycolysis, while in inflammatory basal cells transcriptome profiles indicated enhanced oxidative phosphorylation. Inhibition of mTOR prevented the shift to glycolysis and reduced inflammatory gene transcription specifically in inflammatory secretory cells. These data demonstrate the functional heterogeneity of the human airway epithelium upon exposure to flagellin.
