Project description:Molecular profiling studies in asthma cohorts have identified a Th2-driven asthma subtype, characterized by elevated lower airway expression of POSTN, CLCA1 and SERPINB2. To assess upper airway gene expression as a potential biomarker for lower airway Th2 inflammation, we assayed upper airway (nasal) and lower airway (bronchial) epithelial gene expression, serum total IgE, blood eosinophils and serum periostin in a cohort of 54 allergic asthmatics and 30 matched healthy controls. 23 of 51 asthmatics in our cohort were classified as âTh2 highâ based on lower airway Th2 gene signature expression. Consistent with this classification, âTh2 highâ subjects displayed elevated total IgE and blood eosinophil levels relative to âTh2 lowâ subjects. Upper airway Th2 signature expression was significantly correlated with lower airway Th2 signature expression (r=0.44), with similar strength of association as serum total IgE and blood eosinophils, known biomarkers of Th2 inflammation. In an unbiased genome-wide scan, we identified 8 upper airway genes more strongly correlated with lower airway Th2 gene signature expression (r=0.58), including Eotaxin-3 (CCL26), Galectin-10 (CLC) and Cathepsin-C (CTSC). Asthmatics classified as âTh2 highâ using this 8-gene signature show similar serum total IgE and blood eosinophil levels as âTh2 highâ asthmatics classified using lower airway Th2 gene signature expression. We have identified an 8-gene upper airway signature correlated with lower airway Th2 inflammation, which may be used as a diagnostic biomarker for Th2-driven asthma. Upper airway (nasal) and lower airway (bronchial) epithelial brushings obtained from a cohort of 54 allergic asthmatics and 30 matched healthy controls were profiled by gene expression by microarray. Subjects were assayed for gene expression, serum total IgE, blood eosinophils and serum periostin.

Project description:Using a human model of asthma exacerbation, we compared the airway mucosa in allergic asthmatics and allergic non-asthmatic controls using single-cell RNA-sequencing frameworks. In response to allergen challenge, the airway epithelium in asthmatics was highly dynamic and upregulated genes involved in matrix degradation, mucus metaplasia, and glycolysis while failing to induce injury-repair and antioxidant pathways observed in controls. Asthmatics also had a unique mucosal immune profile, characterized by IL9-expressing pathogenic TH2 cells and enrichment of DC2 (CD1C) and CCR2-expressing monocyte-derived cells (MC) after allergen, with upregulation of genes that promote pathologic airway remodeling. In contrast, controls were enriched for macrophage-like MC that upregulated tissue repair programs after allergen challenge, suggesting these populations may protect against asthmatic airway remodeling. These findings reveal a novel TH2-mononuclear phagocyte-epithelial interactome unique to asthmatics, suggesting that pathogenic effector circuits and the absence of pro-resolution programs drive structural airway disease in response to type 2 inflammation.

Project description:We generated genome-wide RNASeq data from freshly isolated airway epithelial cells of asthmatics and non-asthmatics. This data was paired with genome-wide genetic and methylation data from the same individuals allowing for an integrated analysis of genetic, transcriptional, and epigenetic signatures in asthma.

Project description:MicroRNA expression was assayed from bronchial epithelial cells collected via bronchoscopy from healthy current and never smoker volunteers in order to determine the effect of cigarette smoke exposure on airway epithelial microRNA expression Keywords: Global microRNA expression profiling Bronchial epithelial cells were collected from current and never smokers via bronchoscopy. Low molecular weight RNA ( < 200 nucleotides) was isolated and hybridized to Invitrogen NCode microRNA microarrays to determine which microRNAs detected in bronchial epithelial cells were differentially expressed in the airways of smokers.

Project description:The Wnt pathway plays a central role in controlling differentiation of epithelial tissues; when Wnt is on, differentiation is suppressed, but when Wnt is off, differentiation is allowed to proceed. Based on this concept, we hypothesized that expression of key genes in the Wnt pathway are suppressed in the human airway epithelium under the stress of cigarette smoking, a stress associated with dysregulation of the differentiated state of the airway epithelium. For this purpose, HG-U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays were used to assess the expression of Wnt-related genes in the small airway (10th-12th generation) epithelium (SAE) obtained via bronchoscopy and brushing of healthy nonsmokers (n=47), healthy smokers (n=58), and smokers with established COPD (n=22). With expression defined as present in >20% of samples, microarray analysis demonstrated that 35 of 57 known Wnt-related genes are expressed in the adult SAE. Wnt pathway downstream targets β-catenin (p<0.05) and the transcription factor 7-like 1 were down-regulated in healthy smokers, and smokers with COPD, as were a number of Wnt target genes, including VEGFA, CCND1, MMP7, CLDN1, SOX9, RHOU (all p<0.05 compared to healthy nonsmokers). As a mechanism to explain this broad, smoking-induced suppression of the Wnt pathway, we assessed expression of the DKK and SFRP families, extracellular regulators that suppress the Wnt pathway. Among these, secreted frizzled-related protein 2 (SFRP2), was up-regulated 4.3-fold (p<0.0001) in healthy smokers and 4.9-fold (p<0.0001) in COPD smokers, an observation confirmed by TaqMan Real-time PCR. AT the protein levels, Western analysis demonstrated SFRP2 up-regulation, and immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the smoking-induced SFRP2 upregulation occurred in differentiated ciliated cells. Finally, cigarette smoke extract mediated up-regulation of SFRP2 and downregulation of Wnt target genes in airway epithelial cells in vitro. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that the Wnt pathway plays a role in airway epithelial cell differentiation in the adult human airway epithelium, with smoking associated with down-regulation of Wnt pathway, contributing to the dysregulation of airway epithelial differentiation observed in the smoking-related airway disorders. Affymetrix arrays were used to assess gene expression data of genes in the Wnt pathway in small airway epithelium obtained by fiberoptic bronchoscopy of 47 healthy non-smokers and 58 healthy smokers and 22 smokers with COPD.

Project description:Testican 3 (coded for by SPOCK3), is an extracellular matrix heparan/chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan that possesses serine and cysteine protease inhibitor-like domains Based on the knowledge that serine proteases contribute to the destruction of the lung in cigarette smokers, but that only a fraction of smokers develop smoking-induced lung disease, we hypothesized that smokers expressed SPOCK3 at lower levels in the small airway epithelium, the initial site of smoking-induced disease, and further, that genetic variability modulates the expression of SPOCK3 in the airway epithelium. Assessment of gene expression in the small airway epithelium (10th -12th order bronchi) of healthy non-smokers (n=38) and healthy smokers (n=42), demonstrated that the expression levels of SPOCK3 were significantly lower in healthy smokers compared to healthy nonsmokers (p<0.04). Affymetrix Human SNP array 5.0 was used to assess genome wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within 100 kbp of the SPOCK3 gene in the same nonsmokers and smokers, and these SNPs were correlated with small airway gene expression of SPOCK3, with correction for variation in genetic ancestry. There was a significant correlation of SPOCK3 small airway epithelial gene expression with 13 adjacent SNPs in the SPOCK3 gene (p<10-3, all comparisons, Wald test). For example, the TT allele of rs13124292, located in intron 3, was associated with a small airway epithelial expression levels of 0.56 ± 0.07, and the AA genotype with expression levels of 2.31 ± 0.26 (p<10-6, pairwise t test). Interestingly, smoking appeared to lessen the degree to which genotype associated with SPOCK3 expression level, i.e., smoking to some extent overrode the influence of genetic variation. The observation that SPOCK3 gene expression in the small airway epithelium is reduced in smokers, and that smoking interacts with cis-genomic variations to determine the levels of SPOCK3 small airway epithelial gene expression, is consistent with the concept that everyone is at risk for smoking-induced lung disease, but that inherited genetic variations contribute to the pathogenesis of susceptibility to smoking-induced disease.
