Figure Lengend Snippet: Stimulation with agonists of OR2AG1 and OR1D2 led to an intracellular Ca 2+ increase in HASMCs. (A) Repetitive stimulation with amyl butyrate (300 μM, duration: 30 s) elicited a reproducible transient increase in intracellular Ca 2+ measured with the ratiometric Ca 2+ indicator FURA-2AM. (B) Amyl butyrate, an agonist for OR2AG1, activated HASMCs in a dose-dependent manner with an EC50 of 253.39 μM ( N = 6). (C) The application of the OR1D2 agonist bourgeonal (100 μM, duration: 30 s) led to an increase in intracellular Ca 2+ , and repetitive stimulation exerted a reproducible effect. (D) Bourgeonal was able to activate HASMCs in a dose-dependent manner with an EC50 of 0.5043 μM ( N = 3–5). (E,F) The application of the OR1D2 agonists lilial (300 μM, duration: 30 s; E) and 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA; 300 μM, duration: 30 s; F ) led to an intracellular Ca 2+ increase in ratiometric Ca 2+ imaging experiments. Bars indicate the application duration. Error bars represent the ± SEM of three to four independent experiments.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Analysis of the expression of ORs and olfactory signaling components at the transcript and protein level. (A,B) qPCR analysis with cDNA of three different HASMC donors using specific OR primers. PCR products for OR1D2, OR2AG1, and the smooth muscle marker ACTA2 were detected in an agarose gel at ~250 bp (A) . ΔCt-values were calculated and normalized to the ACTA2 Ct-value ( N = 3). The transcript level of OR2AG1 was higher than that of OR1D2 (B) . Error bars represent the ±SEM of at least three independent experiments. (C) The immunocytochemical staining of HASMCs showed that OR1D2 and OR2AG1 are expressed at the protein level. The cells were co-stained with ACTA2 as a marker of HASMCs. Scale bars: 100 μm. (D,E) Western blot experiments using the cytosolic and membrane protein fractions of HASMCs showed specific bands for OR1D2 (~35 kDa; D) and OR2AG1 (~35 kDa; E) in all fractions. (F–H) Immunohistochemical 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining of human lung tissue with OR1D2 (F) and OR2AG1 (G) antibody. A detail of a bronchus can be seen in both images. L, lumen; RE, respiratory epithelium; LP, lamina propria; SM, smooth muscle layer; SU, submucosa. Specific staining was observed in the apical part of the RE and in the SM (F) as well as in the RE, SM, and cells of the SU (G) . (H) Secondary antibody (anti-rabbit) negative control. Arrows indicate staining of the SM. Scaling bar: 200 μm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Bourgeonal-induced Ca 2+ increase in HASMCs is dependent on the extracellular Ca 2+ concentration, production of cAMP, and opening of CNG channels . (A) The bourgeonal-specific antagonist undecanal significantly inhibited the activation of OR1D2 and, thereby, Ca 2+ increases in HASMCs. Bourgeonal (100 μM) was first applied for 30 s. After a 3 min wash in Ringer's solution, undecanal (200 μM) and bourgeonal (100 μM) were co-applied for 30 s. The cells were again washed with Ringer's solution, followed by an application of bourgeonal (100 μM) for 30 s. The undecanal-induced inhibition was reversible ( N = 5). (B) Bourgeonal (100 μM) was applied for 30 s in Ringer's solution containing 2 mM extracellular Ca 2+ or in a Ca 2+ -free condition with 5 mM EGTA. Under Ca 2+ free conditions, the cytosolic Ca 2+ increase was completely abolished ( N = 6). (C) Bourgeonal (100 μM) was applied for 30 s after a 5 min incubation with the adenylyl cyclase inhibitor SQ22536 (200 μM). Ca 2+ influx was significantly reduced after incubation with SQ22536 ( N = 3). (D) MDL12330A (50 μM), an adenylyl cyclase inhibitor, was applied for 2 min, followed by co-application with bourgeonal (100 μM, duration: 30 s), which significantly inhibited bourgeonal-induced Ca 2+ increase. This effect was reversible after a 4 min washing step ( N = 4). (E) The CNG channel inhibitor L-cis-diltiazem (100 μM) was co-applied with bourgeonal (100 μM) for 30 s and significantly reduced the Ca 2+ influx induced by bourgeonal. The inhibitory effect of L-cis-diltiazem was reversible after a wash-out ( N = 6). The bars of all experiments indicate the stimulus duration. All error bars represent the ±SEM of at three to six independent experiments. Significance was tested with an unpaired two-sample Student's t -test or a Mann-Whitney U test. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001.
