Abstract: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are known to promote repair following epithelial damage in the setting of acute lung injury but can exhibit instability in inflammatory microenvironments. Natural Tregs (nTregs), while more stable, are relatively rare and difficult to expand; whereas induced Tregs (iTregs) are derived from more abundant CD4+ naïve T cells but exhibit more instability. My work focuses on the effect of maintenance DNA methylation, via the epigenetic regulator, Uhrf1, on the function and transcriptomic stability of iTregs in the context of influenza pneumonia. I will discuss the results of a series of in vitro and in vivo adoptive transfer experiments utilizing Foxp3-DTr mice infected with influenza A.

“Identification and Risk-Stratification in Early Interstitial Lung Disease”
Speaker:
Jonathan A. Rose, MD, MS
Instructor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA

Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA
Abstract: My work has focused on identifying, characterizing, and risk-stratifying interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA), which are incidental findings on chest CT suggestive of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Given that antifibrotic therapy can reduce progression, even in patients with less severe disease, there is more urgency to detect pulmonary fibrosis at an early stage. The hope is that studying ILA will allow a better understanding of the development and progression of ILD in its early stages with the ultimate goal of preventing more advanced forms of pulmonary fibrosis.
