Project description:Obesity-associated asthma is recognized as a distinct entity with non-atopic T-helper 1 polarized systemic inflammation. DNA methylation is linked with T helper cell maturation and is associated with inflammatory patterns in asthma and obesity. However, it is unknown whether pathologic dysregulation of DNA methylation patterns occurs in obesity-associated asthma. Using HELP-tagging, we studied epigenome wide DNA methylation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in 8 urban minority obese asthmatic pre-adolescent children and compared it to methylation in groups of 8 children with asthma alone, obesity alone and healthy controls. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was used to identify biological pathways that were differentially targeted by methylation dysregulation. We found that obese asthmatics had distinct epigenome wide methylation patterns associated with decreased promoter methylation of a subset of genes, including RANTES, IL-12R and TBX21 and increased promoter methylation of CD23, a low affinity receptor for IgE and of TGFM-NM-2, inhibitor of Th cell activation. T cell signaling and macrophage activation were the two primary pathways that were selectively hypomethylated in obese asthmatics. These methylation patterns suggest that methylation is associated with non-atopic inflammation observed in obese asthmatic children compared to children with asthma alone and obesity alone. Our findings suggest a role of DNA methylation in the observed inflammatory patterns in pediatric obesity-associated asthma in minorities. 32 HpaII test

Project description:Asthma and postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) are chronic lung diseases characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing. Mycoplasma, adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus infections can trigger both asthma and PIBO. These two diseases have common etiologic mechanisms that cause airway epithelial injury. They are often difficult to differentiate clinically in preschool children because both are exacerbated by viral infections and respond similarly to steroids and β2 agonists. PIBO, which is occasionally observed in children, is diagnosed through characteristic findings of air trapping on computed tomography or in biopsy samples of lung tissue. However, researchers have not clearly identified the specific blood markers that can distinguish these diseases or the differences in the mechanisms of development. We performed proteomic analysis of plasma to identify specific biomarkers that can be helpful in differentiating asthma from PIBO. This study discovered plasma biomarker candidates by measuring plasma proteome sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra (SWATH-MS) and included 30 healthy children, 18 with asthma and 15 with PIBO. was used to measure proteins in plasma samples. We identified and quantified 354 proteins across all 63 samples in the SWATH-MS analysis.

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:Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) are major causative agents for hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). In China, more than 70,756 children were infected and 40 died from the disease in recent years. This study aimed to develop a protein chip that can simultaneously detect and differentiate the antibodies induced by EV71 and CA16 simultaneously. The structure protein vp1 and vp3 from the two viruses were purified and spotted onto an aldehyde groupmodified glass slide at 1mg/ml. After that, the protein chip was reacted with the corresponding positive serum against these viruses, hybridized with a Cy3-labeled secondary antibody and scanned using the popular GenePix 4000B Microarray Scanner. In this study, Both IgG and IgM serum antibody to EV71 and CA16 were detected using protein Chip. The results showed that this method could hybridize specifically with the corresponding antibodies with strong signals and without cross-hybridization. The data also confirmed the proposed method's specificity, sensitivity, and convenience. In conclusion, this protein chip can be used to differentiate the antibodies induced by the EV71and CA16.

Project description:Asthma is caused by a combination of poorly understood genetic and environmental factors. We found multiple markers on chromosome 17q21 to be strongly and reproducibly associated with childhood onset asthma in family and case-referent panels with a combined P < 10-12. In independent replication studies the 17q21 locus showed strong association with diagnosis of childhood asthma in 2,320 subjects from a cohort of German children (P = 0.0003) and in 3,301 subjects from the British 1958 Birth Cohort (P = 0.0005). We systematically evaluated the relationships between markers of the 17q21 locus and transcript levels of genes in EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines from children in the asthma family panel used in our association study. The SNPs associated with childhood asthma were consistently and strongly associated (P <10-22) in cis with transcript levels of ORMDL3, a member of a gene family that encode transmembrane proteins anchored in the endoplasmic reticulum. The results indicate that genetic variants regulating ORMDL3 expression are determinants of susceptibility to childhood asthma. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression levels were evaluated in 404 children. We then evaluated the relationship between SNPs in the 17q21 region (which show association to asthma in the same children) with gene expression levels. See http://www.sph.umich.edu/csg/liang/asthma/
