Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major respiratory disease characterized by small airway inflammation, emphysema and severe breathing difficulties. Low-grade systemic inflammation is an established hallmark of severe disease, however, the molecular changes in peripheral immune cells remain far from understood. We combined multi-color flow cytometry with single-cell RNA sequencing and showed that blood neutrophil numbers are significantly increased in COPD and they are a heterogeneous population. A transcriptomic state that expressed interferon response genes correlated with alveolar damage and acute exacerbations. Furthermore, bronchoalveolar neutrophils expressed gene signatures corresponding to certain blood neutrophil states. Last, our data in a murine model of cigarette smoke exposure demonstrated that bone marrow neutrophil progenitors are expanded in smoke-treated animals and display signs of immune activation. Our study provides evidence that COPD systemic inflammation may derive from an activated haematopoietic precursor compartment.

Project description:Abstract<br>BACKGROUND: Gene expression profiling (GEP) in cells obtained from peripheral blood has demonstrated to be a very useful approach for biomarker discovery and for studying molecular pathogenesis of prevalent diseases. While there is limited literature availble on gene expression markers associated to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), the transcriptomic picture associated to critical respiratory illness in this disease is not known to the present moment. <br>RESULTS: By using Agilent microarray chips, we have profiled gene expression signatures in whole blood of 28 COPD patients hospitalized with distinct degree of respiratory compromise.12 of them needed of admission to the ICU, while 16 were admitted to the Respiratory Medicine Service. GeneSpring GX 11.0 software was used for performing statistical comparison of transcript levels between ICU and non ICU patients. Ingenuity pathway analysis 8.5 (IPA) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were employed to select, annotate and visualize genes by function and pathway (gene ontology). T-test evidenced 1501 genes differentially expressed between ICU and non ICU patients. IPA and KEGG analysis of the most representative biological functions revealed that ICU patients showed increased levels of neutrohil gene transcripts, being [cathepsin G (CTSG)], [elastase, neutrophil expressed (ELANE)], [proteinase 3 (PRTN3)], [myeloperoxidase (MPO)], [cathepsin D (CTSD)], [defensin, alpha 3, neutrophil-specific (DEFA3)], azurocidin 1 (AZU1)], [bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI)] the most representative ones. Proteins codified by these genes form part of the azurophilic granules of neutrophils and are involved in both antimicrobial defence and tissue damage. This ?neutrophil signature? was paralleled by necessity of advanced respiratory and vital support, and presence of bacterial infection.<br>CONCLUSION: study of transcriptomic signatures in blood suggests a central role of neutrophil proteases in COPD patients with critical respiratory illness. Measurement / modulation of the expression of these genes could represent an option for clinical monitoring and treatment of severe COPD exacerbations. <br><br>Keywords: COPD, critical, expression, gene, microarray, neutrophil, proteases.<br><br>

Project description:Bacterial infections and cigarette smoking have been linked to exacerbations of respiratory disease including severe asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Epidemiological studies have also shown increased incidences of respiratory tract infections even in young smokers. We have previously shown that cigarette smoke exacerbates the inflammatory response to influenza A virus (PLoS ONE. 2010 Oct 12;5(10): e13251) and nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2009 Apr 15;179(8):666) infection. While it is well understood that cigarette smoke impairs respiratory host defense, little is known with respect to mechanisms driving the outcome of infection in smoke-exposed mice. In this study, we attempt to characterize the antibacterial responses of lung resident cells from smoke-exposed mice to TLR agonists and live pathogens by gene expression profiling and to compare similarities and differences of inflammatory profiles between mouse and man.

Project description:Epigenetics changes have been shown to be affected by cigarette smoking. It is possible that cigarette smoke (CS)-mediated DNA methylation would affect several cellular and pathophysiological processes, acute exacerbations, and comorbidity in lungs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We sought to determine whether genome-wide lung DNA methylation profiles of smokers and patients with COPD were significantly different from non-smokers. We isolated DNA from lung tissues of patients including 8 lifelong non-smokers, 8 current smokers, and 8 patients with COPD, and subsequently analyzed the samples using the Illumina’s Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip.

Project description:Little is known about the lung microbiome dynamics and host-microbiome interactions in relation to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations and in patient subgroups based on smoking status and disease severity. Here we performed a 16S ribosomal RNA survey on sputum microbiome from 16 healthy and 43 COPD subjects. For COPD subjects, a longitudinal sampling was performed from stable state to exacerbations, at two and six weeks post-exacerbations and at six months from first stable visit. Host sputum transcriptome were characterized for a subset of COPD patient samples.
