Project description:Background: Epigenetic marks, like asthma, are heritable. They are influenced by the environment, direct the maturation of T cellslymphocytes, and have been shown to enhance the development of allergic airways disease in mice. Thus, we hypothesized that epigenetic marks are associated with allergic asthma in inner-city children. Methods: We compared methylation patterns and gene expression in inner-city children with persistent atopic asthma versus healthy controls, using DNA and RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from inner city children aged 6-12 years with persistent atopic asthma children and healthy controls. Results were externally validated with the GABRIELA study population. Results: Comparing asthmatics (N=97) to controls (N=97), we identified 81 regions that were differentially methylated. Several immune genes were hypomethylated in asthmatics, including IL-13, RUNX3, and a number of specific genes relevant to natural killer cells (KIR2DL4, KIR2DL3, KIR3DL1, and KLRD1) and T cells lymphocytes (TIGIT). 14 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were associated with the serum IgE concentration of IgE, including RUNX3. These results were internally and externally validated with a global methylation assessment using a different methodology in our inner-city cohort and an independent European cohort (GABRIELA). Hypo- and hypermethylated genes tended to be associated with increased and decreased gene expression, respectively (P<0.6x10-11 for asthma and ; P<0.01 for IgE). To further explore the relationship between methylation and gene expression, we created a matrix of genomic changes in methylation versus transcriptional changes (methyl eQTL) for asthma, and identified cis- and trans-regulated genes whose expression was related to asthma asthma-associated methylation marks. peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 97 atopic asthmatic and 97 nonatopic nonasthmatic children

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of pass 2 primary human gingival fibroblasts (GF) comparing control untreated GF with GF treated with LPA 18:1 for 2h or 8h. The goal of this study was to determine the effects of LPA 18:1 on global GF gene expression. Three-condition experiment, GF vs. LPA-treated (2h, 8h) GF cells. Biological replicates: 3 control replicates, 3 LPA-treated replicates.

Project description:Gene expression (Npatients = 21, Ncontrols = 21) of CD4+ T-cells failed to seperate patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) and healthy controls in an in vitro model system in which purified PBMCs from patients and healthy controls were challenged with allergen for 7 days. PBMCs from 21 patients (P) and 21 healthy controls (H) were challenged with grass pollen for 7 days. Diluent challenged control samples were obtained from all subjects. CD4+ cells were purified by MACS.

Project description:Using a human model of asthma exacerbation, we compared the airway mucosa in allergic asthmatics and allergic non-asthmatic controls using single-cell RNA-sequencing frameworks. In response to allergen challenge, the airway epithelium in asthmatics was highly dynamic and upregulated genes involved in matrix degradation, mucus metaplasia, and glycolysis while failing to induce injury-repair and antioxidant pathways observed in controls. Asthmatics also had a unique mucosal immune profile, characterized by IL9-expressing pathogenic TH2 cells and enrichment of DC2 (CD1C) and CCR2-expressing monocyte-derived cells (MC) after allergen, with upregulation of genes that promote pathologic airway remodeling. In contrast, controls were enriched for macrophage-like MC that upregulated tissue repair programs after allergen challenge, suggesting these populations may protect against asthmatic airway remodeling. These findings reveal a novel TH2-mononuclear phagocyte-epithelial interactome unique to asthmatics, suggesting that pathogenic effector circuits and the absence of pro-resolution programs drive structural airway disease in response to type 2 inflammation.

Project description:Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) play a central role for tolerance against self and innocuous environmental antigens. However, the role of antigen-specificity for Treg-mediated tolerance is only incompletely understood. Here we show by direct ex vivo characterization of human CD4+ T cells, that the response against innocuous airborne antigens, such as plant pollen or fungal spores, is dominated by memory-like antigen-specific Treg. Surprisingly, breakdown of tolerance in atopic donors was not accompanied by a quantitatively or qualitatively altered Treg response, but instead correlated with a striking dichotomy of Treg versus Th2 target specificity. Allergenic proteins, are selectively targeted by Th2 cells, but not Treg. Thus human Treg specific for airborne antigens maintain tolerance at mucosal sites and the failure to generate specific Treg against a subgroup of antigens provides a window of opportunity for allergy development. PBMCs from sex and age matched birch pollen allergic patients and healthy controls, were stimulated (7h) with airborne fungal (A. fumigatus) or birch pollen antigen (birch) and sorted into antigen specific conventional and regulatory T cells according to their expression of CD154+ and CD137+ on CD4+ T cells, respectively. Number of samples per group in parentheses: Healthy controls stimulated with A. fumigatus (n=5), allergic patients stimulated with A. fumigatus (n=6), healthy controls stimulated with birch (n=6), allergic patients stimulated with birch (n=4).

Project description:Allergen-stimulated T cells from henâs egg-allergic children were analyzed to identify genes that are specifically up-regulated in these cells. Experiment Overall Design: PBMCs from three henâs egg allergic children and two non-allergic children were cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% autologous plasma for 16 hours with or without henâs egg white allergen (allergen concentration10 mg/ml). To focus on specific T cells reacting with HEW, cells bearing CD4 antigen were isolated from cultured PBMCs using a Magnetic cell sorterï¼Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germanyï¼after CD14 positive cell depletion. Total RNA was extracted from these CD4 positive cells with an RNeasy mini-kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) according to the manufacturerâs instruction.

Project description:This protocol outlines a single-site mechanistic study aiming to investigate long RNAs differentially expressed in the airway epithelium of asthma patients both at baseline and in response to segmental airway allergen challenges. Over approximately 14 days, the study spanned three visits: Visit 1: Comprehensive characterization of participants, encompassing lung function testing, methacholine challenge testing, and allergen skin prick testing. Visit 2: Participants underwent bronchoscopy wherein three procedures were performed a. Epithelial brushings were performed in a segmental airway (baseline sample) b. Diluent (inactive control) was instilled into another segmental airway c. A small dose of allergen was administered into a third segmental airway using standardized cat or dust mite allergen extracts. Visit 3 (24 hours or 7 days post Visit 2): Another bronchoscopy was carried out to collect epithelial brushings in the diluent challenged and allergen challenged segments The collected epithelial brush samples underwent analysis for mRNA expression in the epithelial brushings. The study successfully incorporated a total of 23 subjects, which included 18 asthmatics (with stable or well-controlled conditions), 2 allergic non-asthmatics, and 3 non-allergic non-asthmatics.
