Umbilical Cord Blood Cell Transcriptional and Methylation Signatures at Birth Are Associated with BPD Development [RRBS]

ABSTRACT: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common respiratory disease in preterm infants born at less than 28 weeks gestation. Most existing clinical prediction models for BPD show limited accuracy in predicting BPD development when validated using external data, stressing the need for novel biomarkers to identify at-risk infants for early and effective interventions. We leveraged the existing buffy coat of the frozen umbilical cord blood samples from the Northwestern University Cord Blood Biobank (NUCord) to perform parallel RNA and DNA extraction. BPD-associated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) includes BPD marker established in previous mouse studies and gene related to NF-κB signaling and immune responses. We also identified that BPD development is associated with disrupted methylation signatures in microRNA genes and genes associated with disrupted glucose metabolism. Our results suggest that BPD development is associated with distinct epigenetic and transcriptomic signatures when compared to healthy term infants and preterm infants. These signatures may represent biomarkers measurable at birth that predict BPD development during a time window when preventative or therapeutic interventions could be applied.

Umbilical Cord Blood Cell Transcriptional and Methylation Signatures at Birth Are Associated with BPD Development [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common respiratory disease in preterm infants born at less than 28 weeks gestation. Most existing clinical prediction models for BPD show limited accuracy in predicting BPD development when validated using external data, stressing the need for novel biomarkers to identify at-risk infants for early and effective interventions. We leveraged existing frozen umbilical cord blood samples from the Northwestern University Cord Blood Biobank (NUCord) to perform parallel transcriptional and DNA methylation profiling. Chorioamnionitis-associated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in our cohort included markers previously established in clinical and animal BPD studies, such as genes related to NF-κB signaling and immune responses. Importantly, these genes were highly associated with chorioamnionitis infection status specifically in preterm infants. We also identified that BPD development is associated with disrupted methylation signatures in microRNA genes and genes associated with glucose metabolism. Our results suggest that BPD development and chorioamnionitis are associated with distinct transcriptomic and epigenetic signatures when compared with healthy term and preterm infants. These signatures may represent biomarkers measurable at birth that predict BPD development during a time window when preventative or therapeutic interventions could be applied.

Monocyte signature as a predictor of chronic lung disease in the preterm infant

Project description:The early changes in innate immunity associated with BPD (bronchopulmonary dysplasia) development are incompletely understood. Transcriptome analyses from cord blood of preterm infants indicate a monocyte-centered, profibrotic signature at birth confirming TNFalpha as a critical upstream regulator for the development of BPD.

miRNA expression in tracheal aspirates in mild/moderate and severe BPD

Project description:Extreme preterm infants are a growing population in neonatal intensive care units who carry a high mortality and morbidity. Multiple factors play a role in preterm birth, resulting in major impact on organogenesis leading to complications including bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The goal of this study was to identify biomarker signatures associated with BPD severity. We analyzed profiles in tracheal aspirates (TAs) from 25 extremely preterm infants receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. Eight infants were diagnosed with mild/moderate BPD, and 17 were diagnosed with severe BPD, according to the NHLBI consensus conference classification . We found specific miRNA signatures in TAs that may serve as biomarkers for BPD severity.

Cord blood methylation profiles of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants

Project description:Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a lung disease in premature infants characterized by impaired pulmonary development which persists into later life. While advances in neonatal care have improved survival rates of premature infants, cases of BPD haves been increased. Therapeutic options are limited for prevention and treatment. This study was designed to explore the relationship between gestational age (GA), birth weight and estímate blood cell-type composition in premature infants and to elucidate early epigenetic biomarkers associated with BPD. Cord blood DNA from preterm neonates that went on to develop BPD (n = 14) or not (nonBPD, n = 93) was applied to Illumina 450K methylation arrays. Using DNA methylation analysis of cord blood DNA, we investigated association of GA and birth weight with the estimated distribution of cord blood cell types, particularly the nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) in a pilot-size cohort of preterm infants with or without BPD. We describe changes in methylation-based estimates of blood cell-type composition in relation to GA and birth weight. After adjusting for covariates (GA, birth weight, cell type proportions, etc.) we identify differentially methylated CpGs and genes associated with BPD.

miRNA expression in tracheal aspirates

Project description:Extreme preterm infants are a growing population in neonatal intensive care units who carry a high mortality and morbidity. Multiple factors play a role in preterm birth, resulting in major impact on organogenesis leading to complications including bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The goal of this study was to identify biomarker signatures associated with prematurity and BPD. We analyzed miRNA and mRNA profiles in tracheal aspirates (TAs) from 51 infants receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. 25 infants were extremely preterm and diagnosed with BPD, and 26 were term babies receiving invasive mechanical ventilation for elective procedures. We found specific mRNA-miRNA signatures in TAs that may serve as biomarkers for BPD pathogenesis, a consequence of extreme prematurity.

miRNA expression in tracheal aspirates [sBPD, BPD-PH]

Project description:Extreme preterm infants are a growing population in the neonatal intensive care unit. Multiple factors play a role in preterm birth, resulting in complications including severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (sBPD) without or with and pulmonary hypertension (BPD-PH). The goal of this study was to identify biomarker signatures associated with sBPD and BPD-PH. We analyzed profiles in tracheal aspirates (TAs) from 46 extremely preterm infants receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (25 sBPD, 21 BPD-PH) . We found specific miRNA signatures in TAs that may serve as biomarkers for the two disease phenotypes.

Epigenome-wide association study on peripheral blood DNA of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants

Project description:Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a lung disease in premature infants characterized by impaired pulmonary development which persists into later life. While advances in neonatal care have improved survival rates of premature infants, cases of BPD haves been increased. Therapeutic options are limited for prevention and treatment. This study was designed to explore the relationship between gestational age (GA), birth weight and estímate blood cell-type composition in premature infants and to elucidate early epigenetic biomarkers associated with BPD. Peripheral blood DNA (at days 14 and 28) from preterm neonates that went on to develop BPD (n = 14) or not (nonBPD, n = 93) was applied to Illumina EPIC methylation arrays. Using DNA methylation analysis of cord blood DNA, we investigated association of GA and birth weight with the estimated distribution of cord blood cell types, particularly the nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) in a pilot-size cohort of preterm infants with or without BPD. We describe changes in methylation-based estimates of blood cell-type composition in relation to GA and birth weight. After adjusting for covariates (GA, birth weight, cell type proportions, etc.) we identify differentially methylated CpGs and genes associated with BPD at different time points.

Umbilical Cord Blood-derived Exosomes from Very Preterm Infants with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Impaired Endothelial Angiogenesis: Roles of Exosomal MicroRNAs

Project description:Premature infants have a high risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), which is characterized by abnormal development of alveoli and pulmonary vessels. Exosomes and exosomal miRNAs (EXO-miRNAs) from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid are involved in the development of BPD and might serve as predictive biomarkers for BPD. However, the roles of exosomes and EXO-miRNAs from umbilical cord blood of BPD infants in regulating angiogenesis are yet to be elucidated. In this study, we showed that umbilical cord blood-derived exosomes from BPD infants impaired angiogenesis in vitro. Next generation sequencing of EXO-miRNAs from preterm infants without (NBPD group) or with BPD (BPD group) uncovered a total of 418 differentially expressed (DE) EXO-miRNAs. These DE EXO-miRNAs were primarily enriched in cellular function-associated pathways including the PI3K/Akt and angiogenesis- related signaling pathways. Among those EXO-miRNAs which are associated with PI3K/Akt and angiogenesis-related signaling pathways, BPD reduced expression of hsa-miR-103a-3p and hsa-miR-185-5p exhibiting most significant reduction (14.3% and 23.1% of NBPD group, respectively); BPD increased hsa-miR-200a-3p expression by 2.64 folds of NBPD group. Furthermore, overexpression of hsa-miR-103a-3p and hsa-miR-185-5p in normal human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) significantly enhanced endothelial cell proliferation, tube formation and cell migration, whereas overexpressing hsa-miR-200a-3p inhibited these cellular responses. This study demonstrates that exosomes derived from umbilical cord blood of BPD infants impair angiogenesis, possibly via DE EXO-miRNAs, which might contribute to the development of BPD.

Transcriptomic profiling of the developing rabbit's lung

Project description:Preterm infants are delivered during vulnerable stages of lung development at late canalicular, saccular, or early alveolar phases according to their degree of prematurity. Consequently, they often require medical interventions, especially to support their respiratory system. Preterm birth and post-natal oxygen and mechanical ventilation support can alter programmed patterns of fetal lung development, leading to the instauration of chronic lung diseases. The most significant pulmonary complication of preterm birth is bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The aim of this study is to delve into the translational power of rabbits as a suitable model of neonatal chronic lung diseases, characterizing the physiological rabbit lung development through the application of histological, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses on perinatal rabbit lung samples, investigating the impact of preterm birth and its relevance on BPD modeling.
