Transcription profiling of human B-lymphocytes from postmenopausal female smokers with high or low bone mineral density

ABSTRACT: B cells produce important cytokines regulate bone metabolism. We comparison gene expression patterns of circulating B cells in blood from 20 postmenopausal female smokers with low or high bone mineral density (BMD): 10 low BMD vs. 10 high BMD. In total 17 differentially expressed genes were identified with smoking-related osteoporosis. Experiment Overall Design: B cells were isolated from 70 ml of whole blood from each of 20 postmenopausal female smokers, 10 with high BMD and 10 with low BMD, using B cell positive isolation method (Dynabeads CD19,Pan B) from Invitrogen Life Technologies Dynal Biotech Inc,CA. Total RNA was extracted from B cells using Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit.A total of 4ug totalRNA was used to produced targets for each subject according to standard Affymetrix procedures. Hybridization was made for each subject. Robust Multiarray Algorithm was used to normalize the expression data and smoking-related genes were analyzed using two-way ANOVA under mutiple-testing adjustment combined with our previous GEO data (GSE7429).

Project description:The toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important components of the respiratory epithelium host innate defense, enabling the airway surface to recognize and respond to a variety of insults in inhaled air. Based on the knowledge that smokers are more susceptible to pulmonary infection and the airway epithelium of smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by bacterial colonization and acute exacerbation of airway infections, we assessed whether smoking alters the expression of TLRs in human small airway epithelium, the primary site of smoking-induced disease. Microarrays were used to survey the TLR family gene expression in small airway (10th-12th order) epithelium from healthy nonsmokers (n=60), healthy smokers (n=73) and smokers with COPD (n=36). Using the criteria of detection call of present in ≥50%, 6 of 10 TLRs (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8) were expressed. Compared to nonsmokers, the most strikingly changed gene is TLR5, which down-regulated in healthy smokers (1.4-fold decrease, p<10-13) and in smokers with COPD (1.6-fold, p<10-14). TaqMan RT-PCR confirmed these observations. Bronchial biopsies immunofluorescence showed that TLR5 protein was expressed mainly on the apical side of the human airway epithelium and decreased in healthy smokers and smokers with COPD. In vitro studies showed that the level of TLR5 downstream genes, IL-6 and IL-8 were highly induced in TLR5 high-expressing cells compared to TLR5 low-expressing cells after flagellin exposure. In the context that TLR5 functions to recognize pathogens and activate innate immune responses, the smoking-induced down-regulation of TLR5 likely contributes to smoking-related susceptibility to airway infection.
