Project description:Obstructive Sleep Apnea, a sleep related breathing disorder RNA sequencing analysis was conducted to evaluate differentially expressed genes in patients with severe OSA compared to healthy subjects. We further evaluated how these differentially expressed genes and associated pathways altered with short-term (4 months) vs. long-term (24 months) continuous positive airway pressure treatment.

Project description:Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been linked to dysregulated metabolic states and treatment of sleep apnea may improve these conditions. Subcutaneous adipose tissue is a readily samplable fat depot that plays an important role in regulating metabolism. However, neither the pathophysiologic consequences of OSA nor the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in altering this compartment’s molecular pathways are understood. This study aimed to systematically identify subcutaneous adipose tissue transcriptional programs modulated in OSA and in response to its effective treatment with CPAP. Two subject groups were investigated: Study Group 1 was comprised of 10 OSA and 8 controls; Study Group 2 included 24 individuals with OSA studied at baseline and following CPAP. For each subject, genome-wide gene expression measurement of subcutaneous fat was performed. Differentially activated pathways elicited by OSA (Group 1) and in response to its treatment (Group 2) were determined using network and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). In Group 2, treatment of OSA with CPAP improved apnea hypopnea index, daytime sleepiness, and blood pressure, but not anthropometric measures. In Group 1, GSEA revealed many up-regulated gene sets in OSA subjects, most of which were involved in immuno-inflammatory (e.g., interferon-γ signaling), transcription, and metabolic processes such as adipogenesis. Unexpectedly, CPAP therapy in Group 2 subjects was also associated with up-regulation of several immune pathways as well as cholesterol biosynthesis. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that OSA alters distinct inflammatory and metabolic programs in subcutaneous fat, but these transcriptional signatures are not reversed with short-term effective therapy.

Project description:Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with metabolic dysregulation and systemic inflammation. This may be due to pathophysiologic effects of OSA on visceral adipose tissue. We sought to assess the transcriptional consequences of OSA on adipocytes by utilizing pathway-focused analyses. Methods: Patients scheduled to undergo ventral hernia repair surgery were recruited to wear a portable home sleep monitor for two nights prior to surgery. Visceral fat biopsies were obtained intra-operatively. RNA was extracted and whole-genome expression profiling was performed. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was used to identify curated gene sets that were differentially enriched in OSA subjects. Network analysis was applied to a select set of highly enriched pathways. Results: 10 patients with OSA and 8 control subjects were recruited. There were no differences in age, gender, body mass index between the two groups, but the OSA subjects had a significantly higher respiratory disturbance index (19.2 vs. 0.6, P-value 0.05) and worse hypoxemia (minimum oxygen saturation 79.7% vs. 87.8%, P-value < 0.001). GSEA identified a number of gene sets up-regulated in adipose tissue of OSA patients including the pro-inflammatory NF-M-NM-:B pathway and the proteolytic ubiquitin/proteasome module. A critical metabolic pathway, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), was down-regulated in subjects with OSA. Network analysis linked members of these modules together and identified regulatory hubs. Conclusions: OSA is associated with alterations in visceral fat gene expression. Pathway-based network analysis highlighted perturbations in several key pathways whose coordinated interactions may contribute to the metabolic dysregulation observed in this complex disorder. Total RNA from visceral fat of 18 subjects (10 OSA, 8 Control) was hybridized to 18 Affymetrix Genechip Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays.

Project description:Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a frequent respiratory disorder with an estimated prevalence of 3–6% in the general population. However, the underlying pathophysiology of OSA remains unclear. Recently, proteomic analysis using high-resolution and high-throughput mass spectrometry has been widely used in the field of medical sciences. In the present study, tandem mass tags (TMT)-based proteomic analysis was performed in the serum of patients with OSA.

Project description:Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent respiratory disorder, with an estimated global prevalence of over one billion individuals, exhibiting a wide spectrum of severity. In this study, clinical data and whole blood samples were obtained from non-OSA individuals and OSA patients.we performed high-throughput sequencing to analyze differential expression of miRNAs between non-OSA exosomes (n=4) and OSA-Exos (n=6). This analysis identified 15 miRNAs exhibited significantly different expression levels between the two groups, with 7 upregulated and 8 downregulated in OSA-Exos compared to CON-Exos.

Project description:Objectives: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is related to repeated upper airway collapse, intermittent hypoxia, and intestinal barrier dysfunction. The resulting damage to the intestinal barrier may affect or be affected by the intestinal microbiota. Methods: A prospective case-control was used, including 48 subjects from Sleep Medicine Center of Nanfang Hospital. Sleep apnea was diagnosed by overnight polysomnography. Fecal samples and blood samples were collected from subjects to detect intestinal microbiome composition (by 16S rDNA gene amplification and sequencing) and intestinal barrier biomarkers – intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) and D-lactic acid (D-LA) (by ELISA and colorimetry, respectively). Results: The severity of OSA was related to differences in the structure and composition of the intestinal microbiome. Enriched Fusobacterium, Megamonasa, Lachnospiraceae_UCG_006, and reduced Anaerostipes was found in patients with severe OSA. Enriched Ruminococcus_2, Lachnoclostridium, Lachnospiraceae_UCG_006, and Alloprevotella was found in patients with high intestinal barrier biomarkers. Lachnoclostridium and Lachnospiraceae_UCG_006 were the common dominant bacteria of OSA and intestinal barrier damage. Fusobacterium and Peptoclostridium was independently associated with apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). The dominant genera of severe OSA were also related to glucose, lipid, neutrophils, monocytes and BMI. Network analysis identified links between the intestinal microbiome, intestinal barrier biomarkers, and AHI. Conclusions: The study confirms that changes in the intestinal microbiota are related to intestinal barrier biomarkers among patients in OSA. These changes may play a pathophysiological role in the systemic inflammation and metabolic comorbidities associated with OSA, leading to multi-organ morbidity of OSA.

Project description:Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent condition that is associated with accelerated biological aging and multiple end-organ morbidities. Current treatments, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), have shown limited cognitive, metabolic, and cardiovascular beneficial outcomes despite adherence. Thus, adjunct therapies aiming to reduce OSA burden, such as senolytics, could improve OSA outcomes. Objectives: To assess if targeting senescence in addition to partial normoxia mimicking “good” CPAP adherence can improve physiological outcomes in mice exposed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH). Methods: We compared the effects of 6 weeks therapy with either partial normoxic recovery alone or combined with the senolytic Navitoclax (NAV) after 16 weeks of IH exposures, a hallmark of OSA, on multi-phenotypic cardiometabolic and neurocognitive parameters. Results: Our findings indicate that only when combined with NAV, partial normoxic recovery significantly improved wakefulness (sleep in the dark phase: 34 ± 4% vs. 24 ± 3%, p < 0.01), cognition (Preference score: 51 ± 19% vs. 70 ± 11%, p < 0.05), coronary artery function (response to acetylcholine (vasodilation): 56 ± 13% vs. 72 ± 10%, p < 0.001), glucose, and lipid metabolism, and reduced intestinal permeability and senescence in multiple organs. Conclusions: These findings indicate that the reversibility of end-organ morbidities induced by OSA are not only contingent on restoration of normal oxygenation patterns and can be further enhanced by targeting other OSA-mediated detrimental cellular processes, such as accelerated senescence.
