Comparative Analysis of Transcriptional Responses in Monocytes from Human Neonates, Adults, and Older Adults

ABSTRACT: Human neonates and older adults frequently exhibit a reduced capacity to control microbial infections. A variety of mechanisms involving both the innate and adaptive immune systems have been proposed to contribute to these deficiencies. The emergence of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) as an accurate and quantitative method for examining mRNA levels provides an opportunity to compare transcriptional responses to a stimulus at a global scale in neonates, adults, and older adults. An examination of ex vivo monocyte responses to lipopolysaccharide stimulation or Listeria monocytogenes infection (with cord blood monocytes representing neonatal monocytes) revealed extensive similarities between all three age groups, with only a small number of genes exhibiting statistically significant differences. Using transcription factor motif analyses and RNA-seq data sets from a variety of mouse mutants, the most significant neonatal deficiencies corresponded to genes that require interferon response factor-3 or type 1 interferon signaling for their activation. In older adults, the most striking difference was broad, low-level activation of inflammatory genes prior to stimulation, consistent with prior evidence of a chronic inflammatory state in older adults. These results demonstrate the value of quantitative RNA-seq analyses and the feasibility of cross-species comparisons between well-defined mouse networks and human data sets.

Mass spectrometry analysis reveals developmental differences between platelets derived from neonates and adults

Project description:It has been proposed that developmental differences exist between neonatal and adult platelets. Detailed insight therein is, however, still lacking. We have now compared the platelet protein expression profile of neonates and adults employing a label-free quantitative mass spectrometry approach. In addition, platelet aggregation mediated by thromboxane A2 analog, collagen, and peptide agonists of the protease-activated-receptors 1 and 4 was assessed. Results showed that neonatal platelets effectively aggregate in the presence the employed platelet agonists. In agreement with previous studies, higher concentrations of the agonists were required to initiate aggregation in the neonatal platelets. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed no significant difference in the expression level of critical adhesive platelet proteins like glycoprotein (GP)Ib, integrin αIIbβ3, GPV and GPIX. Neonatal platelets did show reduced expression levels of proteins involved in intracellular signaling, i.e. LYN, MAP3k5 and FAM129A. Several proteins that are known to be related to mitochondrial energy metabolism processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, i.e. NDUFS3, NDUFS8 and NDUFA1 were upregulated in neonates. In conclusion, this study reveals that the platelets derived from neonates and adults are distinct. In particular, developmental changes were observed for proteins that belong to metabolic and energy generation processes.

Comparison of the functional microRNA expression in immune cell subsets of neonates and adults

Project description:Diversity of biological molecules in newborn and adult immune cells contributes to differences in cell function and atopic properties. Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are reported involve in the regulation of immune system. Therefore, determining the miRNA expression profile of leukocyte sub-populations is important for understanding immune system regulation. In order to explore the unique microRNA profiling that contribute to altered immune in neonates, we comprehensively analyzed the functional miRNA signatures of eight leukocyte subsets (polymorphonuclear cells, monocytes, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, natural killer cells, B cells, plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), and myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs)) from both neonatal and adult umbilical cord and peripheral blood samples, respectively. We observed distinct miRNA profiles between adult and neonatal blood leukocyte subsets, including unique miRNA signatures for each cell lineage. Leukocyte miRNA signatures were altered after stimulation. Adult peripheral leukocytes had higher let-7b-5p expression levels compared to neonatal cord leukocytes across multiple subsets, irrespective of stimulation. Transfecting neonatal monocytes with a let-7b-5p mimic resulted in a reduction of LPS-induced IL-6 and TNF-a production, while transfection of a let-7b-5p inhibitor into adult monocytes enhanced IL-6 and TNF-a production. With this functional approach, we provide intact differential microRNA expression profiling of specific immune cell subsets between neonates and adults. These studies serve as a basis to further understand the altered immune response observed in neonates and advance the development of therapeutic strategies

Quantitative age-specific variability of plasma proteins in healthy neonates, children and adults

Project description:Human blood plasma is a complex biological fluid containing soluble proteins, sugars, hormones, electrolytes, and dissolved gasses. As plasma interacts with a wide array of bodily systems, changes in protein expression, or the presence or absence of specific proteins are regularly used in the clinic as a molecular biomarker tool. A large body of literature exists detailing proteomic changes in pathologic contexts, however little research has been conducted on the quantitation of the plasma proteome in age-specific, healthy subjects, especially in pediatrics. In this study, we utilized SWATH-MS to identify and quantify proteins in the blood plasma of healthy neonates, infants under 1 year of age, children between 1-5 years, and adults. We identified more than 100 proteins that showed significant differential expression levels across these age groups, and we analyzed variation in protein expression across the age spectrum. The plasma proteomic profiles of neonates were strikingly dissimilar to the older children and adults. By extracting the SWATH data against a large human spectral library we increased protein identification more than 6-fold (940 proteins) and confirmed the concentrations of several of these using ELISA. The results of this study map the variation in expression of proteins and pathways often implicated in disease, and so have significant clinical implication.

DNA methyltransferase inhibition induces dynamic gene expression changes in lung CD4+ T cells of neonatal mice with E. coli pneumonia [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Bacterial pulmonary infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates, with less severity in older children (juveniles). Previous studies demonstrated that CD4+ T cells in the mouse lung, whose primary responsibility is coordinating the immune response foreign pathogens, are differentially methylated in neonates compared with juveniles. Nevertheless, the effect of this differential methylation on CD4+ T cell gene expression and response to infection remains unclear. We treated E. coli-infected neonatal (4-day-old) and juvenile (13-day-old) mice with decitabine (DAC), a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor with broad-spectrum DNA demethylating activity, and performed simultaneous genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptional profiling on lung CD4+ T cells. Juvenile and neonatal mice experienced differential demethylation in response to DAC treatment, with larger methylation differences observed in neonates. By cross-filtering differentially expressed genes between juveniles and neonates with those sites that were demethylated in neonates, we found that interferon-responsive genes such as Ifit1 are the most down-regulated methylation-sensitive genes in neonatal mice. DAC treatment shifted neonatal lung CD4+ T cells toward a gene expression program similar to that of juveniles. Following lung infection with E. coli, lung CD4+ T cells in neonatal mice exhibit epigenetic repression of important host defense pathways, which are activated by inhibition of DNA methyltransferase activity to resemble a more mature profile.

Metformin Alters Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome Adaptations to Resistance Training in Older Adults

Project description:Evidence from clinical trials and observational studies suggests that both progressive resistance training (PRT) and metformin delay a variety of age-related morbidities. Previously, we completed a clinical trial testing the effects of 14 weeks of PRT + metformin (metPRT) compared to PRT with placebo (plaPRT) on muscle hypertrophy in older adults. We found that metformin blunted PRT-induced muscle hypertrophic response. To understand potential mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effect of metformin on PRT, we analyzed the muscle transcriptome in 23 metPRT and 24 plaPRT participants. PRT significantly increased expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix remodeling pathways, and downregulated RNA processing pathways in both groups, however, metformin blunted the number of differentially expressed genes within these pathways compared to plaPRT. Pathway analysis showed that genes unique to metPRT modulated aging-relevant pathways, such as cellular senescence and autophagy. Differentially expressed genes from baseline biopsies in older adults compared to resting muscle from young volunteers were reduced following PRT in plaPRT and were further reduced in metPRT. We suggest that although metformin may blunt pathways induced by PRT to promote muscle hypertrophy, adjunctive metformin during PRT may have beneficial effects on aging-associated pathways in muscle from older adults.

Impact of chorioamnionitis exposure on neonatal monocyte H3K4me3 patterning

Project description:We sought to determine the impact of chorioamnionitis exposure on the neonatal monocyte H3K4me3 histone modification landscape over the course of fetal and neonatal immune system development using ChIP-seq. H3K4me3 ChIP-seq was performed on umbilical cord blood purified CD14+ monocytes from healthy and chorioamnionitis-exposed extremely preterm neonates (under 30 weeks gestation), late preterm neonates (30-36 weeks gestation), and term neonates (37+ weeks gestation).

Single-cell profiling of mouse spleen myeloid cells

Project description:Neonates are at higher risk of inflammatory disorders due to their immature immune system. The timely appearance of regulatory immune cells in early life contributes to the control of inflammation in neonates via induction of immunotolerance, the mechanisms underlying which remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified a subset of neonatal monocytes with high expression of transmembrane protein Neuropilin-1 (Nrp1), termed Nrp1high monocytes. Nrp1high monocytes displayed potent immunosuppressive activity and their frequencies declined in age-dependent manner. Deletion of Nrp1 in myeloid cells aggravated the severity of neonatal inflammatory disease necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Adoptive transfer of Nrp1high monocytes led to remission of NEC. Mechanistic studies showed that Nrp1, via binding with its ligand semaphorin-4a (Sema4a), induced intracellular p38-MAPK/mTOR signaling and activated transcription factor KLF4. KLF4 activation led to transcription of Nos2 and enhanced the production of nitric oxide, a key mediator of immunosuppression in monocytes. These observations uncover an important immunosuppressive axis in neonatal monocytes, and provides potential therapeutic strategy for inflammatory disorders in neonates.

Differences in the transcriptomic response of human adult, neonatal, and older adult monocytes to Listeria monocytogenes infection

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) kills up to 60% of infected newborns and adults >60 years of age but is asymptomic is most young adults. Monocytes are central to effective host defense against Lm. We hypothesize that age-dependent, pathway-specific differences in the ability of the monocyte to respond to Lm explain the increased risk of the newborn and older adult to severely suffer or die from Lm infection. To delineate age-dependent differences in innate responses that lead to differential infectious outcome, monocytes were isolated from cord blood (newborn) and peripheral blood (young and older adults) and infected with Lm. RNA was collected to determine age-dependent transcriptomic changes upon infection. Total RNA was isolated from purified human monocytes from 6 adult, 6 cord , 6 older adult blood donors that were infected with wild-type Listeria monocytogenes at a multiplicity of infected (MOI)=5 for 2 and 6 hr.
