Project description:BACKGROUND:Respiratory infections, in general, and rhinovirus infection specifically are the main reason for asthma exacerbation in children and programmed cell death protein 1 ligand (PD-L1) expression inhibits T cell responses. OBJECTIVE:Could the interferon (IFN) type I expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) improve disease exacerbation in pediatric asthma? RESULTS:Here we found increased level of PD-L1 messenger RNA (mRNA) in total blood cells isolated from preschool children with virus-induced asthma, with lower percentage of forced expiratory volume in 1?second and with high serum levels of the C-reactive-protein. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE:These data indicate that, in the presence of infection in the airways of preschool children, worse asthma is associated with induced PD-L1 mRNA expression in blood cells. Further, type I IFN, IFN-?, a cytokine that is involved in the clearance of infections, was found to be associated with a better lung function in asthmatic children. These data suggest that improving peripheral blood IFN type I expression in PBMCs in pediatric asthma could improve disease exacerbation due to suppressing PD-L1 expression in blood cells.

Project description:BACKGROUND:T regulatory (Treg) cells are important in balancing immune responses and dysregulation of Treg cells has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple disease states including asthma. In this study, our primary aim was to determine Treg cell frequency in the peripheral blood of children with and without asthma. The secondary aim was to explore the association between Treg cell frequency with allergen sensitization, disease severity and medication use. METHODS:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy control subjects (N?=?93) and asthmatic children of varying disease severity (N?=?66) were characterized by multi-parameter flow cytometry. RESULTS:Our findings demonstrate that children with asthma had a significantly increased frequency of Treg cells compared to children without asthma. Using a multivariate model, increased Treg cell frequency in children with asthma was most directly associated with inhaled corticosteroid use, and not asthma severity, allergic sensitization, or atopic status of the asthma. CONCLUSION:We conclude that low dose, local airway administration of corticosteroids is sufficient to impact the frequency of Treg cells in the peripheral blood. These data highlight the importance of considering medication exposure when studying Treg cells and suggest inhaled corticosteroid use in asthmatics may improve disease control through increased Treg cell frequency.

Project description:INTRODUCTION: The role of CD4+ T cells in the immunopathogenesis of asthma is well documented. Little is known about the role of CD8+ T cells. The aim of this study was to assess peripheral blood subsets of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells expressing naive/memory markers (CD45RA+/RO+) and the activation marker (CD25+) in children with allergic asthma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from children with allergic asthma and healthy children. T cell subsets were analyzed by flow cytometry for the expressions of CD45RA, CD45RO, and CD25. In this study, some differences in the memory compartment of peripheral blood T cells between asthmatic children and healthy controls were detected. RESULTS: The absolute number of CD8+ T cells expressing CD45RO was significantly elevated and the percentages of CD3+ T cells expressing activation marker CD25 and of CD4+ T cells expressing memory marker CD45RO were significantly lower in children with asthma compared with controls. No correlation was found between severity of asthma and peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets. CONCLUSIONS: There were some differences in the memory compartment of peripheral blood T cells between asthmatic children and healthy controls. The increase in the number of CD8+ T cells expressing the memory marker (CD45RO) in children with allergic asthma may indicate that CD8+ T cells play a role in the pathogenesis of asthma.

Project description:Asthma exacerbations remain a major unmet clinical need. The difficulty in obtaining airway tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage samples during exacerbations has greatly hampered study of naturally occurring exacerbations. This study was conducted to determine if mRNA profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) could provide information on the systemic molecular pathways involved during asthma exacerbations.Over the course of one year, gene expression levels during stable asthma, exacerbation, and two weeks after an exacerbation were compared using oligonucleotide arrays. For each of 118 subjects who experienced at least one asthma exacerbation, the gene expression patterns in a sample of peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected during an exacerbation episode were compared to patterns observed in multiple samples from the same subject collected during quiescent asthma. Analysis of covariance identified genes whose levels of expression changed during exacerbations and returned to quiescent levels by two weeks. Heterogeneity among visits in expression profiles was examined using K-means clustering. Three distinct exacerbation-associated gene expression signatures were identified. One signature indicated that, even among patients without symptoms of respiratory infection, genes of innate immunity were activated. Antigen-independent T cell activation mediated by IL15 was also indicated by this signature. A second signature revealed strong evidence of lymphocyte activation through antigen receptors and subsequent downstream events of adaptive immunity. The number of genes identified in the third signature was too few to draw conclusions on the mechanisms driving those exacerbations.This study has shown that analysis of PBMCs reveals systemic changes accompanying asthma exacerbation and has laid the foundation for future comparative studies using PBMCs.

Project description:Background: Epigenetic marks, like asthma, are heritable. They are influenced by the environment, direct the maturation of T cellslymphocytes, and have been shown to enhance the development of allergic airways disease in mice. Thus, we hypothesized that epigenetic marks are associated with allergic asthma in inner-city children. Methods: We compared methylation patterns and gene expression in inner-city children with persistent atopic asthma versus healthy controls, using DNA and RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from inner city children aged 6-12 years with persistent atopic asthma children and healthy controls. Results were externally validated with the GABRIELA study population. Results: Comparing asthmatics (N=97) to controls (N=97), we identified 81 regions that were differentially methylated. Several immune genes were hypomethylated in asthmatics, including IL-13, RUNX3, and a number of specific genes relevant to natural killer cells (KIR2DL4, KIR2DL3, KIR3DL1, and KLRD1) and T cells lymphocytes (TIGIT). 14 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were associated with the serum IgE concentration of IgE, including RUNX3. These results were internally and externally validated with a global methylation assessment using a different methodology in our inner-city cohort and an independent European cohort (GABRIELA). Hypo- and hypermethylated genes tended to be associated with increased and decreased gene expression, respectively (P<0.6x10-11 for asthma and ; P<0.01 for IgE). To further explore the relationship between methylation and gene expression, we created a matrix of genomic changes in methylation versus transcriptional changes (methyl eQTL) for asthma, and identified cis- and trans-regulated genes whose expression was related to asthma asthma-associated methylation marks. peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 97 atopic asthmatic and 97 nonatopic nonasthmatic children

Project description:Background: Clinical transcriptomics of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are coming into focus as a surrogate approach for prognosis, diagnosis, biomarker discovery and examination disease mechanisms. However, bioassays paired with transcriptomic analytic tools are yet to be developed and made available at point of care. Harnessing personal dynamic genomic responses to tailor patient asthma treatment or prevent disease exacerbations remain unmet medical needs. Method: We developed a rhinovirus-stimulated peripheral blood based-assay (virogram assay) coupled with single-subject analytics (N-of-1-patwhays) to capture dynamic genome-wide expression and dysregulated pathways to retrospectively predict childhood asthma exacerbation. We hypothesized that some genomic factors might predispose any given individual, healthy or asthmatic, to a set of similar transcriptional responses to rhinovirus stimulation. We first generated a classifier from paired sample microarrays, control and stimulated PBMC from healthy subjects and applied this classifier on the transcriptomic analysis of control and HRV-stimulated PBMC samples (virogram assay) from children with asthma. Results: The analysis of the different genomic responses of single-subject paired PBMC samples (HRV-stimulated and control) derived from healthy individuals (external dataset) enabled the discovery of dysregulated pathways related to acquired immunity, epigenetics and morphogenesis. The classifier built on these results and applied on the transcriptional analysis derived from the virogram assay predicted that the risk of asthma exacerbation among asthmatic subjects with an accuracy of 70%. Conclusion: We provide evidence that clinical prognosis can be predicted with a PBMC based-bioassay aligned with adequate single-subject analytics to assess dynamic transcriptomic response to specific disease-associated stimuli. Overall design: Virogram assay of rhinovirus-stimulated PBMC samples and microarra Prepherial blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from blood samples collected from the 23 pediatric asthma subjects enrolled in the extension study following their participation in TREXA and BADGER clinical trials. Based on exacerbation status, the pediatric asthma subjects were classified in two groups: 11 subjects coded as no exacerbation (NE) for those that did not receive oral corticosteroids during the year of the study and (ii) 12 subjects coded as recurrent exacerbation (RE) for those that received two or more courses of oral corticosteroids during the year of the study. None of the 23 asthma patients received steroids during the month prior to the extension study when blood samples were collected for PMBCs. Each individual’s PBMCs are divided into two cultures, non-stimulated (PBMC control) and stimulated with human rhinovirus (PBMC stimulated) at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 24 hours. Paired PBMCs samples from each subject were harvested separately for RNA extraction. A total of 46 samples (23 pairs) were assessed for RNA quality, then amplified, tagged, and hybridized on Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays according to standard operating procedures. Microarray datasets and gene expression processing Robust Multiple-array Average (RMA) normalization was applied on each patient data independently (2 paired samples at a time, to avoid bias in the single-patient experiments) using Affymetrix Power Tools (APT).

Project description:Asthma, the most common chronic respiratory tract disease in children, is characterized by allergy, recurring airway obstruction and bronchospasm. The aim of the present study was to screen critical differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in asthma in children. Gene expression in different tissues was compared between asthmatic children and healthy control subjects in order to identify DEGs associated with asthma. Protein?protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed for the DEGs and weighted gene co?expression network analysis methods were used to further determine the functional modules associated with DEGs in different tissue samples. In addition, the gene co?expression network was constructed. Gene Ontology function analysis and pathway analysis were conducted to identify critical DEGs. The results identified numerous DEGs from the different tissue samples, including 1,662 DEGs from nasal?epithelium tissue samples, 572 DEGs from peripheral blood (PB) samples and 146 DEGs from PB mononuclear cells samples. In the PPI network, F?box only protein 6 (FBXO6), histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and amyloid ? precursor protein (APP) were hub genes and served an important role in the process of asthma. In addition, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), integrin ??4 (ITGA4), catenin ??1 (CTNNA1), nuclear factor??B1 (NF??B1) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (MTOR) may be critical DEGs involved in the progression of asthma in children. These results suggested that FBXO6, HDAC1 and APP may interact with PCNA, ITGA4, CTNNA1, NF??B1 and mTOR in the progression of asthma in children.
