Depression, Asthma, and Bronchodilator Response in a Nationwide Study of US Adults.

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the relation between 2 common comorbidities (depression and anxiety) and asthma or bronchodilator response (BDR).To examine the association between depressive symptoms and asthma or BDR in US adults.Cross-sectional study of 20,272 adults aged 20 to 79 years from the 2007-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Depressive symptoms were measured using the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire, and classified as none to minimal, mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe. Major depression (comprising moderately severe to severe symptoms) was defined as a 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire score of 15 or more. Anxiety was defined as 5 or more days feeling anxious in the previous month. Current asthma was defined as having been diagnosed with asthma by a doctor or health professional and 1 or more asthma attack in the previous year. BDR (as percentage of baseline FEV1) was measured in 1356 participants with FEV1/forced vital capacity of less than 0.70 and/or FEV1 less than 70% of predicted. Logistic or linear regression was used for the multivariable analysis.Depressive symptoms were significantly and linearly associated with asthma, independently of anxiety symptoms. Subjects with major depression had 3.4 times higher odds of asthma than did those with minimal or no depressive symptoms (95% CI, 2.6-4.5; P < .01). Among adults with asthma, major depression was associated with a 4.2% reduction in BDR (95% CI, -7.5% to -0.8%; P = .02). Major depression was not associated with BDR among adults without asthma. Anxiety was not associated with asthma or BDR.Depressive symptoms are associated with asthma in adults, independently of anxiety symptoms. Major depression is associated with reduced BDR in adults with asthma.

Project description:RationaleBronchodilator response (BDR) is a measure of improvement in airway smooth muscle tone, inhibition of liquid accumulation and mucus section into the lumen in response to short-acting beta-2 agonists that varies among asthmatic patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are well-known post-translational regulators. Identifying miRNAs associated with BDR could lead to a better understanding of the underlying complex pathophysiology.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to identify circulating miRNAs associated with bronchodilator response in asthma and decipher possible mechanism of bronchodilator response variation.MethodsWe used available small RNA sequencing on blood serum from 1,134 asthmatic children aged 6 to 14 years who participated in the Genetics of Asthma in Costa Rica Study (GACRS). We filtered the participants into high and low bronchodilator response (BDR) quartiles and used DeSeq2 to identify miRNAs with differential expression (DE) in high (N= 277) vs low (N= 278) BDR group. Replication was carried out in the Leukotriene modifier Or Corticosteroids or Corticosteroid-Salmeterol trial (LOCCS), an adult asthma cohort. The putative target genes of DE miRNAs were identified, and pathway enrichment analysis was performed.ResultsWe identified 10 down-regulated miRNAs having odds ratios (OR) between 0.37 and 0.76 for a doubling of miRNA counts and one up-regulated miRNA (OR=2.26) between high and low BDR group. These were assessed for replication in the LOCCS cohort, where two miRNAs (miR-200b-3p and miR-1246) were associated. Further, functional annotation of 11 DE miRNAs were performed as well as of two replicated miRs. Target genes of these miRs were enriched in regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis by SREBPs, ESR-mediated signaling, G1/S transition, RHO GTPase cycle, and signaling by TGFB family pathways.ConclusionMiRNAs miR-1246 and miR-200b-3p are associated with both childhood and adult asthma BDR. Our findings add to the growing body of evidence that miRNAs play a significant role in the difference of asthma treatment response among patients as it points to genomic regulatory machinery underlying difference in bronchodilator response among patients.Trial registrationLOCCS cohort [ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT00156819], GACRS cohort [ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT00021840].

Project description:Short-acting ?2-adrenergic receptor agonists (SABAs) are the most commonly prescribed asthma medications worldwide. Response to SABAs is measured as bronchodilator drug response (BDR), which varies among racial/ethnic groups in the United States. However, the genetic variation that contributes to BDR is largely undefined in African Americans with asthma. To identify genetic variants that may contribute to differences in BDR in African Americans with asthma, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of BDR in 949 African-American children with asthma, genotyped with the Axiom World Array 4 (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) followed by imputation using 1000 Genomes phase III genotypes. We used linear regression models adjusting for age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and genetic ancestry to test for an association between BDR and genotype at single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). To increase power and distinguish between shared vs. population-specific associations with BDR in children with asthma, we performed a meta-analysis across 949 African Americans and 1830 Latinos (total?=?2779). Finally, we performed genome-wide admixture mapping to identify regions whereby local African or European ancestry is associated with BDR in African Americans. We identified a population-specific association with an intergenic SNP on chromosome 9q21 that was significantly associated with BDR (rs73650726, p?=?7.69?×?10-9). A trans-ethnic meta-analysis across African Americans and Latinos identified three additional SNPs within the intron of PRKG1 that were significantly associated with BDR (rs7903366, rs7070958 and rs7081864, p???5?×?10-8). Our results failed to replicate in three additional populations of 416 Latinos and 1615 African Americans. Our findings indicate that both population-specific and shared genetic variation contributes to differences in BDR in minority children with asthma, and that the genetic underpinnings of BDR may differ between racial/ethnic groups.
