Population cohort-validated PM2.5-induced gene signatures: A Machine Learning Approach to Individual Exposure Prediction

ABSTRACT: PM2.5, a prominent air pollutant, has been extensively studied through gene expression profiling, demonstrating its activity to modulate gene expressions linked to adverse health outcomes and diseases. Despite the studies, population-based cohort investigations exploring the relationship between PM2.5 exposure and specific gene sets remain limited. In this study, we conducted an unbiased transcriptomic profiling examined gene expression in a PM2.5-exposed mouse model to identify PM2.5-responsive genes. The genes were validated in human cell lines and population-based cohort investigation. Two cohorts comprising healthy older adults aged 65 and above, residing in the regions with contrasting PM2.5 levels, were used to assess the expression of the genes. These gene expression profiles were further used to develop predictive models for PM2.5 exposure by employing logistic regression and decision tree algorithms. Our results showed that five genes (FAM102B, PPP2R1B, OXR1, ITGAM, and PRP38B) increased with PM2.5 exposure in both cell-based assays and population-based cohort studies. The predictive models exhibited high accuracy in assigning high-low PM2.5 exposure, enabling the integration of gene biomarkers into public health practices. This approach may transform air pollution management, shifting from reliance solely on environmental monitoring to incorporating biological and genetic monitoring that reflects individual-level health risks.

Lewy body dementia promotion by air pollutants

Project description:Evidence links air pollution to dementia, yet its role in Lewy body dementia (LBD) remains unclear. Here we show in a cohort of 56.5 million individuals across the U.S. that PM2.5 exposure significantly raises LBD risk. Mechanistically, we find PM2.5 exposure leads to brain atrophy in wild-type mice, an effect not seen in α-synuclein (αSyn)-deficient mice. PM2.5 exposure generates a highly pathogenic αSyn strain, PM-PFF, with enhanced proteinase K-resistance and neurotoxicity, resembling αSyn LBD strains. PM2.5 samples from China, the U.S., and Europe consistently induce proteinase-resistant αSyn strains and in vivo pathology. Transcriptomic analyses reveal shared responses between PM2.5-exposed mice and LBD patients, underscoring PM2.5’s role in LBD and the stresses the need for interventions to reduce air pollution and its associated neurological disease burden.

Differential contribution of bone marrow derived-monocytes to the lung tissue resident alveolar macrophages and persistent lung inflammation with chronic air pollution exposure

Project description:Chronic exposure to ambient particulate matter <2.5µ (PM2.5) has been linked to cardiopulmonary disease. Tissue-resident (TR) alveolar macrophages (AΦ) are long lived, self-renew and critical to the health impact of inhalational insults. There is inadequate understanding of the impact of PM2.5 exposure on nature/time course of transcriptional responses and the proliferation/maintenance of AΦ including the contribution from bone marrow (BM) over chronic time periods. We investigated the effects of exposure to real-world concentrated PM2.5 or filtered air (FA) in chimeric (CD45.2/CD45.1) mice. Here, we show that PM2.5 exposure induces an influx of BM-derived monocytes to lungs at 4-weeks, with no contribution to TR-AΦ population. Chronic (32-weeks) PM2.5 exposure resulted in enhanced apoptosis (Annexin V+) and decreased proliferation (BrdU+) of TR-AΦ and presence of BM-AΦ in inflamed lungs. RNA-seq analysis of flow sorted TR-AΦ and BM-AΦ from 4 and 32-weeks exposed mice, revealed a unique time dependent pattern of differentially expressed genes, with PM2.5 exposure with a pro-inflammatory bias. PM2.5 exposure resulted in pulmonary fibrosis and reduced alveolar fraction which corresponded to protracted lung inflammation. Our findings suggest a time dependent PM2.5 entrainment of a BM-derived monocytes infiltration into PM2.5 exposed lungs with an inflammatory phenotype, that together with enhanced apoptosis of TR-AΦ and pro-inflammatory polarization may contribute to perpetuation of chronic inflammation and lung fibrosis.

Transcriptomics profile of human bronchial epithelial cells exposed to influenza virus (H3N2) and ambient fine particles

Project description:Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution remains a major threat to public health. As the physical barrier against inhaled air pollutants, airway epithelium is a primary target for PM2.5 and influenza viruses, two major environmental insults. Recent studies have shown that PM2.5 and influenza viruses may interact to aggravate airway inflammation, an essential event in the pathogenesis of diverse pulmonary diseases. Airway epithelium plays a critical role in lung health and disorders. Thus far, the mechanisms for the interactive effect of PM2.5 and the influenza virus on gene transcription of airway epithelial cells have not been fully uncovered. In this present pilot study, the transcriptome sequencing approach was introduced to identify responsive genes following individual and co-exposure to PM2.5 and influenza A (H3N2) viruses in a human bronchial epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B). Enrichment analysis revealed the function of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Specifically, the DEGs enriched in the xenobiotic metabolism by the cytochrome P450 pathway were linked to PM2.5 exposure. In contrast, the DEGs enriched in environmental information processing and human diseases, such as viral protein interaction with cytokines and cytokine receptors and epithelial cell signaling in bacterial infection, were significantly related to H3N2 exposure. Meanwhile, this study found that co-exposure to PM2.5 and H3N2 may affect G protein-coupled receptors on the cell surface by modulating Ca2+. Thus, the results from this study provides insights into PM2.5- and influenza virus-induced airway inflammation and potential mechanisms

Effect of Pre- and Postnatal Exposure to urban PM2.5 on the Transcriptome of the Developing and Early-Life Mouse Lung

Project description:Over the last years, evidence has grown that exposure to air pollution, in addition to impairing lung function and health in individuals of all age, can be linked to negative effects in newborn when present during pregnancy. Data suggests that intrauterine exposure of fetuses (exposure of the mother to air pollution during pregnancy) in fact exerts a negative impact on lung development. However, the means by which exposure during pregnancy affects lung development, have not been studied in depth yet. In this study, we investigated alterations of the transcriptome of the developing lung in a mouse model of gestational and early-life postnatal exposure to urban PM2.5 (from Sao Paulo, Brazil).

The effect of exposure to PM2.5 from the cowshed environment on the ovaries of rats

Project description:Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is toxic to reproduction and can cause a range of reproductive disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms of female reproductive impairment due to cowshed PM2.5 exposure are unclear. The aim of this study was the investigation of the effects of PM2.5 on rat ovaries and its molecular mechanisms. Therefore, this study established a whole-body exposure model of PM2.5 in female rats to investigate the effects of PM2.5 on the ovaries. Exposure of rats to PM2.5 using a small animal whole-body PM2.5 exposure system. The device effectively simulates the exposure of animals or humans to PM2.5 within the barn environment, thereby offering enhanced scientific reference data. To put it briefly, for 30 days, the rats were exposed to six hours a day at four times the actual ambient PM2.5 concentration. Adult rats' respiratory coefficient, single-breath volume, and respiratory frequency were used to quantify their daily exposure to PM2.5. To study the effects of PM2.5 exposure on the ovaries of rats, the rats were divided into 2 groups: rats living in clean air were the Control group (Control), which received no additional treatments, and rats exposed to PM2.5 were the PM2.5-exposed group (PM2.5).

Exposure to Air pollution Disrupts Circadian Rhythm through Alterations in Chromatin Dynamics

Project description:Empirical evidence from both animals and humans suggest that PM2.5 (particulate matter < 2.5μm) exposure accelerates a variety of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including Type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether chronic exposure to ambient air pollution (PM2.5), disrupts circadian rhythm to facilitate metabolic insulin resistance and compared the impact of inhaled ambient PM2.5 alone or in combination with continuous light exposure (LL). Exposure to PM2.5 induced peripheral IR, disrupted circadian steroid release, reduced peak oxygen consumption and altered brown adipose 18Ffluorodeoxyglucose uptake on PET imaging. These findings were identical to that seen with LL with no additive interaction between PM2.5 and LL. Transcriptome profiles in the liver revealed a number of differentially expressed circadian genes Bmal1 (Arntl/Npas2), Period (Per) and Cryptochrome (Cry) in response to PM2.5. Alteration in chromatin accessibility in circadian targets was observed with PM2.5 by Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) while chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis, showed a marked difference in promoter occupancy by p300. Our data suggest a previously unrecognized role of particulate air pollution in promoting circadian disruption and metabolic dysfunction through epigenetic regulation of multiple circadian targets

Ambient Pollution Related Reprogramming of the Human Small Airway Epithelial Transcriptome

Project description:Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that exposure to particulate matter (PM) ambient pollution has adverse effects on lung health, exacerbated by cigarette smoking. Fine airborne particles <2.5 µm (PM2.5) are the most harmful of the urban pollutants, and the most closely linked to respiratory disease. Based on the knowledge that the small airway epithelium (SAE) plays a central role in pathogenesis of smoking-related lung disease, we hypothesized that elevated PM2.5 levels are associated with dysregulation of SAE gene expression.

Gut Microbiota Mediates Maternal PM2.5 Exposure-induced Neurodevelopmental Disorder in offspring via Disturbing the Glutamate Metabolism: Evidence from Multiomics Analysis

Project description:<p> While accumulating evidence links maternal PM2.5 exposure to offspring neurodevelopmental impairments, yet the underlying biological pathways require further elucidation. To address this, female ICR mice are exposed to filtered air (FA) or concentrated ambient particulate matter (CAP) for three months before conception and 16 days during gestation. Behavioral tests indicate that declined memory function, anxiety-like behavior and social deficits accompanied by synaptic impairments are induced in offspring by maternal PM2.5 exposure in a gender-dependent manner. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from PM2.5-exposed dams to pseudo-germ-free recipients successfully remodels the neurodevelopmental deficits in offspring, confirming the key mediating role of maternal gut microbiota. Multi-omics analysis shows that maternal PM2.5 exposure causes dysbiosis of gut microbiota in both mother and offspring, disturbs glutamate metabolism and glutamatergic synapase-related pathways. Further in vivo and in vitro experiments indicate that these effects may be induced via ERK/CREB signaling pathway. Additionally, dietary glutamine supplementation effectively ameliorates behavioral deficits and synaptic dysfunction in offspring. In conclusion, this study reveals that maternal PM2.5 exposure can disrupt offspring neurodevelopment via the gut microbiota-glutamate-brain axis and glutamine supplementation may serve as a potential effective intervention strategy.</p>

Newborn Sex-specific Transcriptome Signatures and Gestational Exposure to Fine Particles: Findings from the ENVIRONAGE Birth Cohort

Project description:We investigated sex-specific transcriptomic responses to gestational long- and short-term exposure to particulate matter with a diameter < 2.5 µm (PM2.5) in order to elucidate potential underlying mechanisms of action. Whole genome gene expression was investigated in cord blood of 142 mother-newborn pairs that were enrolled in the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort. Daily PM2.5 exposure levels were calculated for each mother’s home address using a spatial-temporal interpolation model in combination with a dispersion model to estimate both long- (annual average before delivery) and short- (last month of pregnancy) term exposure. We explored the association between gene expression levels and PM2.5 exposure, and identified modulated pathways by overrepresentation analysis and gene set enrichment analysis.

Genome-wide analysis reveals mucociliary remodeling of the airway epithelium induced by PM2.5

Project description:Air pollution particulate matter <2.5 microns (PM2.5) is associated with poor respiratory outcomes. Mechanisms underlying PM2.5-induced lung pathobiology are poorly understood, but likely involve cellular and molecular changes to the airway epithelium. We extracted and chemically characterized the organic and water-soluble components of contemporary ambient air pollution PM2.5 samples. We then determined the whole transcriptome responses of human mucociliary airway epithelial cultures (n=12) to a dose series of PM2.5 extracts. We found PM2.5 organic, but not water-soluble, constituents elicited a potent, dose-dependent transcriptomic response from the mucociliary epithelium. Epithelial exposure to a moderate organic extract (OE) dose modified the expression of 424 genes, which included activation of aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) signaling and an interleukin-1 inflammatory program. We generated an OE response network composed of 8 metagroups, which exhibited high connectivity through the CYP1A1, IL1A, and IL1B genes. This OE exposure also robustly activated a mucus secretory expression program (>100 genes), which included transcriptional drivers of mucus metaplasia (SPDEF, FOXA3). Exposure to a higher OE dose modified the expression of 1,240 genes and further exacerbated expression responses observed at the moderate dose, including the mucus secretory program. Moreover, the higher OE dose significantly increased the MUC5AC/MUC5B gel-forming mucin expression ratio and strongly downregulated ciliated cell expression programs, including key ciliating cell transcription factors (FOXJ1, MCIDAS). Our results suggest organic chemicals in PM2.5 likely drive cellular remodeling of the airway epithelium, punctuated by mucus metaplasia and loss of ciliated cells. This epithelial remodeling may underlie poor respiratory outcomes associated with high PM2.5 exposure.
