Project description:Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is an endoscopic therapy employed for the treatment of refractory asthma. However, no predictive factors are available that determine the effectiveness of BT in treating asthma patients. The present study aimed to comprehensively analyze RNA samples from the airway bronchial tissues of 8 patients with severe asthma treated by BT, and to characterize each patient as a BT responder or non-responder. Total 24 RNA samples (three per patient prior to BT1 [baseline], prior to BT2 [after 1st time treatment], and prior to BT3 [after 2nd time treatment]) were obtained. There were 975 differentially expressed (DE) genes in the bronchial tissues of 8 patients between prior to BT1 (baseline) and prior to BT2 (after 1st time treatment), with significant differences (FDR-adjusted P<0.05). Subjects with an Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire score change of >0.5 for a period of 12 months were considered BT responders. Non-responders exhibited a score change of <0.5 for 12 months. Transcriptome analysis at baseline identified 67 genes that were differentially expressed between responders and non-responders, including SLPI, MMP3, and MUC19 which were upregulated in responders.

Project description:Asthma is a very frequent airway disease that affects 6 to 20% of the population. Severe asthma, represents 3 to 5% of all asthmatic patients and is histologically characterized by an increased bronchial smooth muscle (BSM) mass and clinically by viral exacerbations. Functionally, BSM remodeling had a poor prognostic value in asthma, since higher BSM mass was associated with lower lung function and increased exacerbation rate. However, the role of BSM as a potential actor of asthma exacerbation has only been sparsely suggested. We thus hypothesis that asthmatic BSM cells could act on bronchial epithelium and modified its response to rhinovirus infection.

Project description:Biological mechanisms explaining asthma control improvement following bronchial thermoplasty are still not well understood. We used a large-scale transcriptomic approach to evaluate the transcriptome of bronchial epithelial cell (BEC) obtained before and after bronchial thermoplasty treatment (BT).

Project description:Severe asthma is a clinically and physiologically heterogeneous disease. Benralizumab is a monoclonal antibody which binds the alpha chain of the interleukin-5 receptor and used for severe eosinophilic asthma worldwide. However, not all eosinophilic asthma patients will benefit from benralizumab due to heterogeneity of this disease. Therefore, we performed comprehensive gene expression analysis of whole blood cells that examine severe asthma disease heterogeneity in response to benralizumab. This study is the first to perform comprehensive transcriptome analysis of whole blood cells to identify transcriptomic endotypes of severe asthma clusters that correlate with benralizumab response. The identified transcriptomic endotypes of severe asthma clusters are associated with gene signatures of eosinophils and neutrophilis.

Project description:Background: Asthma is highly heterogeneous and severity evaluation is key to asthma management. DNA methylation (DNAm) contributes to asthma pathogenesis. This study aimed to identify nasal epithelial DNAm differences between severe and non-severe asthmatic children and evaluate the impact of environmental exposures. Methods: Thirty-three non-severe and 22 severe asthmatic African-American children were included in an epigenome-wide association study. Genome-wide nasal epithelial DNAm and gene expression were measured. CpG sites associated with asthma severity and environmental exposures and predictive of severe asthma were identified. DNAm was correlated with gene expression. Enrichment for transcription factor (TF) binding sites or histone modifications surrounding DNAm differences were determined. Results: We identified 816 differentially methylated CpG positions (DMPs) and 10 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) associated with asthma severity. Three DMPs exhibited discriminatory ability for severe asthma. Intriguingly, six DMPs were simultaneously associated with asthma, allergic asthma, total IgE, environmental IgE, and FeNO in an independent cohort of children. 27 DMPs were associated with traffic-related air pollution or secondhand smoke. DNAm at 22 DMPs were altered by diesel particles or allergen in human bronchial epithelial cells. DNAm levels at 39 DMPs were correlated with mRNA expression. Proximal to 816 DMPs, three histone marks and several TFs involved in asthma pathogenesis were enriched. Conclusions: Significant differences in nasal epithelial DNAm were observed between non-severe and severe asthma in African-American children, a subset of which may be useful to predict disease severity. These CpG sites are subject to the influences of environmental exposures and may regulate gene expression.

Project description:Asthma is a complex syndrome associated with episodic decompensations provoked by aeroaller-gen exposures. The underlying pathophysiological states driving exacerbations are latent in the resting state and do not adequately inform biomarker-driven therapy. A better understanding of the pathophysiological pathways driving allergic exacerbations is needed. We hypothesized that disease-associated pathways could be identified in humans by unbiased metabolomics of bron-choalveolar fluid (BALF) during the peak inflammatory response provoked by a bronchial aller-gen challenge. We analyzed BALF metabolites in samples from 12 volunteers who underwent segmental bronchial antigen provocation (SBP-Ag). Metabolites were quantified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) followed by pathway analysis and cor-relation with airway inflammation. SBP-Ag induced statistically significant changes in 549 fea-tures that mapped to 72 uniquely identified metabolites. From these features, two distinct induci-ble metabolic phenotypes were identified by the principal component analysis, partitioning around medoids (PAM) and k-means clustering. Ten index metabolites were identified that in-formed the presence of asthma-relevant pathways, including unsaturated fatty acid produc-tion/metabolism, mitochondrial beta oxidation of unsaturated fatty acid, and bile acid metabolism. Pathways were validated using proteomics in eosinophils. A segmental bronchial allergen chal-lenge induces distinct metabolic responses in humans, providing insight into pathogenic and pro-tective endotypes in allergic asthma.

Project description:Bronchial epithelial brushings were obtained by bronchoscopy from 8 steroid-naïve asthmatics including type 2-low (n=4) and type 2-high asthma (n=4), and 4 healthy controls. The type 2-low and –high asthma was defined by the epithelial expression of a three-gene signature for type 2 status (POSTN, SERPINB2, and CLCA1).
