Project description:Segmental allergen challenge increases the percentage of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells. Mepolizumab, an anti-IL-5 therapeutic antibody, decreases the number of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL). The use of both procedures allows to define genes that are either expressed by eosinophils or dependent on eosinophil presence in the airways.

Project description:Segmental allergen challenge increases the percentage of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells. Mepolizumab, an anti-IL-5 therapeutic antibody, decreases the number of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL). The use of both procedures allows to define genes that are either expressed by eosinophils or dependent on eosinophil presence in the airways. Cells from Bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL) are obtained by bronchoscopy before (V5) and 48 h after a segmental allergen challenge (V6) in atopic and mild astmatics. This procedure was repeated in the same two subjects 2 months later and 1 month after an injection of mepolizumab (V22 is before challenge and V23 after challenge). Cells were immediately lysed and isolated total RNAs were analyzed using the Human Genome 1.0 ST GeneChip arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).

Project description:Chronic beryllium disease (CBD) is a metal-induced hypersensitivity disorder characterized by CD4+ T cell alveolitis. Single-cell gene expression profiling of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells focused on T cells may provide insight into unique subsets of CD4+ T cells, functional pathways, and/or molecules that could potentially be developed into novel therapeutics for treating CBD and other granulomatous lung diseases. To understand the unbiased cellular composition of airway associated CD4+ T cells in subjects with beryllium exposure, we used BAL cells from one beryllium-exposed (BeS) and one CBD subject diagnosed using previously defined criteria, and these two samples comprised the disease cohort.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of 4 cell populations purified from paediatic bronchoalveolar lavage samples. The cell types profiled are alveolar macrophages, granulocytes, lymphocytes and alveolar epithelial cells. Fluorescence-activated single cell sorting was used to purify the cell populations of interest using previously described methods (Shanthikumar, AJRCMB, 2020 ;63(2):152-159). Genome wide DNA methylation profiling was performed via the EPICArray. These data can be used for reference based deconvolution of cell proportion of bronchoalveolar lavage samples. DNA extracted from raw BAL (n=6) was also profiled using the EPICArray, allowing for validation of reference based deconvulution.

Project description:Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) is the main limitation to long-term survival after lung transplantation. Although CLAD is usually not responsive to treatment, earlier identification may improve treatment prospects. In a nested case control study, 1-year post transplant surveillance bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples were obtained from incipient CLAD (n=9) and CLAD free (n=8) lung transplant recipients. Incipient CLAD cases were diagnosed with CLAD within 2 years, while controls were free from CLAD for at least 4 years following bronchoscopy. Transcription profiles in the BAL cell pellets were assayed with the HG-U133 Plus 2.0 microarray (Affymetrix). Differential gene expression analysis was performed to identify a candidate list of differentially expressed probe sets.

Project description:Background: A subset of asthmatics does not respond to steroid therapy and therefore is at risk for escalation of disease severity. The cause of corticosteroid resistant (CR) asthma is unknown. Gene microarray technologies have the potential to substantiate new hypotheses regarding the etiology of corticosteroid resistance. Methods: Gene microarray analysis was performed with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells of CR and corticosteroid sensitive (CS) asthmatics. Increased gene expression was verified with real time PCR and at the protein level by ELISA. Findings: Microarray analyses demonstrated significantly higher levels (over two-fold increase, p<0.05) of TNF-alpha, IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL8 (IL-8), CCL3, CCL4, CCL20 gene expression in BAL cells of CR than CS asthmatics. These findings, confirmed by RT-PCR in additional BAL samples, were consistent with classical macrophage activation by bacterial products. In contrast, markers of alternatively-activated macrophages, Arginase I and CCL24, were decreased in CR asthmatics. Genes associated with activation of the LPS signaling pathway (EGR1, DUSP2, MAIL, TNFAIP3) were significantly elevated in CR BAL samples (p<0.05). CR asthmatics had significantly higher amounts (1444.0±457.3 pg per mg of total protein) of LPS in BAL fluid than CS asthmatics (270.5±216.0 pg; p<0.05). Prolonged exposure to LPS induced functional steroid resistance to dexamethasone (DEX) in normal monocytes, demonstrated by persistently elevated IL-6 levels in the presence of DEX. Interpretation: Classical macrophage activation and induction of LPS signaling pathways along with high endotoxin levels detected in BAL fluid from CR asthmatics suggest that LPS exposure may contribute to CR asthma. Experiment Overall Design: Patients with a diagnosis of asthma according to American Thoracic Society criteria were selected for evaluation. Asthmatics had a baseline FEV1% predicted of 55% to 85% of predicted, a beta2-adrenergic response of â¥12% of baseline FEV1% predicted and/or a methacholine PC20 value of â¤8 mg/ml. Asthma patients were further subdivided in CR and CS groups, based on their response to steroids. The definition was based on change in FEV1 % predicted over a one-week course of 40 mg/day of oral prednisone. Asthmatic patients were defined as CS if they had an increase in FEV1% predicted of greater than 15% after a one-week course of prednisone, and as CR if less than 12% change in FEV1% predicted was observed. None of the asthmatic subjects recruited for this study had evidence for other types of lung diseases. None of the subjects had received systemic corticosteroid therapy for at least one month prior to bronchoscopy. All subjects provided written informed consent to participate in the study. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at National Jewish Medical and Research Center, Denver, CO. Gene array studies of BAL macrophages were performed in 3 CR and 3 CS asthmatics.

Project description:Ozone, the major component of air pollution, is an oxidant gas. Inhalation of high ambient levels of ozone causes oxidative stress and airway inflammation. To assess the biological responses of airway inflammatory cells to ozone-induced oxidative stress, we examined the gene expression of airway inflammatory cells in response to inhalation of ozone. Nineteen subjects, with and without asthma, were exposed to clean air (0 ppb), low (100ppb), and high (200ppb) ambient levels of ozone for 4 hours on three separate occasions in a climate-controlled chamber followed by bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) 20 hours after the end of exposure in a repeated measure design. The BAL cells mRNA expression was examined using Affymetrix GeneChip Microarray.
