Association between Passive Smoking from the Mother and Pediatric Crohn's Disease: A Japanese Multicenter Study.

ABSTRACT: Smoking is a risk factor for adult-onset Crohn's disease (CD). Although passive smoking from family members is a major concern, especially in pediatric CD, the number of existing epidemiological studies is limited. This multicenter case-control study aimed to assess the effects of familial smoking on pediatric CD. We examined 22 pediatric CD cases and 135 controls. The subjects' mothers were given a self-administered questionnaire about family smoking before disease onset in the CD group or the corresponding period in the control group. Univariable logistic regression model was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), whereas dose-response relationship analyses were performed for more in-depth evaluations. Univariable analyses indicated that passive smoking from the mother (OR, 2.09; 95% CI, 0.61-7.10) was not a significant, but a candidate risk factor for developing pediatric CD. In contrast, the dose-response relationship analyses revealed that passive smoking from the mother (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.04-1.31) was significantly associated with pediatric CD. Therefore, passive smoking from the mother may be predominantly associated with the development of pediatric CD. Further follow-up studies comprising environmental measurements of passive smoking exposure doses and genetic factors interaction analysis are necessary.

Project description:The course of Crohn's disease (CD) is heterogeneous, confounding effective personalized therapy. A previous analysis of differences in gene expression between patients with versus without CD groups revealed 2 subsets of patients with CD -- a group characterized by genes more highly expressed in the colon (colon-like CD) and a group with increased expression of ileum marker genes (ileum-like CD). We compared differences in microRNAs between these groups. We performed genome-wide microRNA profile analyses of colon tissues from 18 adults with CD and 12 adults without CD (controls). We performed principal component analyses to associate levels of microRNAs with CD subtypes. Colonic epithelial cells and lamina propria immune cells were isolated from intestinal tissues and levels of microRNA 31 (miR-31) were measured by real-time quantitative PCR. We validated the differential expression of miR-31 between the subtypes by measuring miR-31 levels in an independent cohort of 32 adult patients with CD and 23 controls. We generated epithelial colonoid cultures from controls and patients with CD, and measured levels of miR-31 in crypts. We performed genome-wide microRNA profile analyses of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded colon and ileum biopsies from 76 treatment-naive pediatric patients with CD and 51 controls (234 samples) and collected data on disease features and outcomes. In comparing miRNA expression profiles between 9 patients with colon-like CD and 9 patients with ileum-like CD, we identified 19 miRNAs with significant differences in levels. We observed a 13.5-fold difference in level of miR-31-5p between tissues from patients with colon-like vs. ileum-like CD (Padj = 1.43 x 10-18). Principal component analysis found miR-31 to be the top contributor to the variance observed. Levels of miR-31 were increased 60-fold in tissues from patients with ileum-like CD compared with controls (Padj = 2.59 × 10-51). We validated the differential expression of miR-31 between the subtypes in the independent set of tissues. Colonoids derived from patients with CD had significantly higher levels of miR-31 than colonoids derived from control tissues (day 2 P=.041 and day 6 P=.0095). Levels of miR-31 were significantly increased in colon tissues from pediatric patients with CD compared with controls (~7.8-fold, P=4.64 ×10-7) and in ileum tissues from patients with CD patients vs. controls (~1.5-fold, P=9.97 × 10-7). A high level of miR-31 in index biopsies from pediatric patients with only inflammation and no other complications at time of diagnosis associated with development of fibrostenotic ileal CD. We identified differences in miR-31 levels in colon tissues from adult and pediatric patients with CD compared with controls, and in patients with ileum-like CD compared with colon-like CD. Further studies are needed to determine the mechanisms by which miR-31 might contribute to pathogenesis of this subtype of CD, or affect response to therapy.
