Project description:Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent condition that is associated with a wide range of long-term morbidities including metabolic, cardiovascular, and cognitive alterations, possibly via activation of systemic inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways. Implementation of positive airway pressure (PAP) is the first line treatment for OSA. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying OSA-induced morbidities and their response to PAP treatment remain unclear. Methods And Results: DNA methylation profiles were examined in blood monocytes of OSA patients before and after PAP treatment. We identified 1,847 regions showing significant differential DNA methylation (p<0.001 and MAT score >4) between the groups. Analysis of biochemical pathways and gene networks demonstrated that differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were associated with immune responses, and particularly with mechanisms governing gene regulation by peroxisome proliferation-activated receptors (PPAR). Single locus quantitative PCR analysis revealed that DNA methylation was increased at the PPAR responsive elements (PPAREs) of 8 genes in the post-treatment samples, suggesting that PAP treatment leads to an increase in DNA methylation at PPAREs, possibly affecting the binding of the PPARG complex and downstream gene expression. Conclusions: Our work provides initial evidence of epigenetic regulation particularly involving metabolic pathways in OSA patients that are responsive to PAP treatment. We postulate that differentially methylated regions in blood monocytes may serve as potential biomarkers in clinical practice.

Project description:Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with a number of chronic disorders that may improve with effective therapy. However, the molecular pathways affected by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment are largely unknown. We sought to assess the system-wide consequences of CPAP therapy by transcriptionally profiling peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs). Methods: Subjects diagnosed with severe OSA were treated with CPAP, and whole-genome expression measurement of PBLs was performed at baseline and following therapy. We used Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) to identify gene sets that were differentially enriched. Network analysis was then applied to identify key drivers of pathways influenced by CPAP. Results: 18 subjects with severe OSA (apnea hypopnea index ≥ 30 events/hour) underwent CPAP therapy and microarray analysis of their PBLs. Treatment with CPAP improved AHI, daytime sleepiness and blood pressure but did not affect anthropometric measures. GSEA revealed a number of enriched gene sets, many of which were involved in neoplastic processes and displayed down-regulated expression patterns in response to CPAP. Network analysis identified several densely connected genes that are important modulators of cancer and tumor growth. Conclusions: Effective therapy of OSA with CPAP is associated with alterations in circulating leukocyte gene expression. Functional enrichment and network analyses highlighted transcriptional suppression in cancer-related pathways suggesting potentially novel mechanisms linking OSA with neoplastic signatures. Total RNA from peripheral blood leukocytes of 18 subjects with severe sleep apnea at baseline and after effective CPAP therapy was hybridized to 36 Affymetrix Genechip Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays

Project description:Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Epidemiological and animal models studies generate hypotheses for innovative strategies in OSA management by interfering intermediates mechanisms associated with cardiovascular complications. In this study, we interrogated DNA methylation profiles in 16 polysomnographically evaluated OSA patients (Apnea Hypopnea Index, AHI > 30) and 8 controls (AHI<5 events/h sleep). Blood samples were collected at initial visit (V1) and a year later (V2). OSA patients received Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) therapy with high adherence (> 4 hours/night). Control individuals did not receive CPAP therapy. Genomic DNA was treated with sodium bisulfite. Converted DNA was analyzed using Illumina’s Infinium Human Methylation 450 BeadChip assay. DNA methylation profiles enabled the prospective evaluation of inflammatory and epigenetics mechanism involved in cardiovascular complication of OSA patients compared with non OSA subjects, as well as the variation of epigenetic profiles in OSA patients after one year of high-adherence CPAP therapy.

Project description:Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been linked to dysregulated metabolic states and treatment of sleep apnea may improve these conditions. Subcutaneous adipose tissue is a readily samplable fat depot that plays an important role in regulating metabolism. However, neither the pathophysiologic consequences of OSA nor the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in altering this compartment’s molecular pathways are understood. This study aimed to systematically identify subcutaneous adipose tissue transcriptional programs modulated in OSA and in response to its effective treatment with CPAP. Two subject groups were investigated: Study Group 1 was comprised of 10 OSA and 8 controls; Study Group 2 included 24 individuals with OSA studied at baseline and following CPAP. For each subject, genome-wide gene expression measurement of subcutaneous fat was performed. Differentially activated pathways elicited by OSA (Group 1) and in response to its treatment (Group 2) were determined using network and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). In Group 2, treatment of OSA with CPAP improved apnea hypopnea index, daytime sleepiness, and blood pressure, but not anthropometric measures. In Group 1, GSEA revealed many up-regulated gene sets in OSA subjects, most of which were involved in immuno-inflammatory (e.g., interferon-γ signaling), transcription, and metabolic processes such as adipogenesis. Unexpectedly, CPAP therapy in Group 2 subjects was also associated with up-regulation of several immune pathways as well as cholesterol biosynthesis. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that OSA alters distinct inflammatory and metabolic programs in subcutaneous fat, but these transcriptional signatures are not reversed with short-term effective therapy.

Project description:Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent condition that is associated with accelerated biological aging and multiple end-organ morbidities. Current treatments, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), have shown limited cognitive, metabolic, and cardiovascular beneficial outcomes despite adherence. Thus, adjunct therapies aiming to reduce OSA burden, such as senolytics, could improve OSA outcomes. Objectives: To assess if targeting senescence in addition to partial normoxia mimicking “good” CPAP adherence can improve physiological outcomes in mice exposed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH). Methods: We compared the effects of 6 weeks therapy with either partial normoxic recovery alone or combined with the senolytic Navitoclax (NAV) after 16 weeks of IH exposures, a hallmark of OSA, on multi-phenotypic cardiometabolic and neurocognitive parameters. Results: Our findings indicate that only when combined with NAV, partial normoxic recovery significantly improved wakefulness (sleep in the dark phase: 34 ± 4% vs. 24 ± 3%, p < 0.01), cognition (Preference score: 51 ± 19% vs. 70 ± 11%, p < 0.05), coronary artery function (response to acetylcholine (vasodilation): 56 ± 13% vs. 72 ± 10%, p < 0.001), glucose, and lipid metabolism, and reduced intestinal permeability and senescence in multiple organs. Conclusions: These findings indicate that the reversibility of end-organ morbidities induced by OSA are not only contingent on restoration of normal oxygenation patterns and can be further enhanced by targeting other OSA-mediated detrimental cellular processes, such as accelerated senescence.
