Project description:BackgroundSevere bronchiolitis (ie, bronchiolitis requiring hospitalization) during infancy is a major risk factor for childhood asthma. However, the exact mechanism linking these common conditions remains unclear.ObjectivesThis study sought to examine the integrated role of airway microbiome (both taxonomy and function) and host response in asthma development in this high-risk population.MethodsThis multicenter prospective cohort study of 244 infants with severe bronchiolitis (median age, 3 months) examined the infants' nasopharyngeal metatranscriptomes (microbiomes) and transcriptomes (hosts), as well as metabolomes at hospitalization. The longitudinal relationships investigated include (1) major bacterial species (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis), (2) microbial function, and (3) host response with risks of developing asthma by age 6 years.ResultsFirst, the abundance of S pneumoniae was associated with greater risks of asthma (P = .01), particularly in infants with nonrhinovirus infection (Pinteraction = .04). Second, of 328 microbial functional pathways that are differentially enriched by asthma development, the top pathways (eg, fatty acid and glycolysis pathways; false discovery rate [FDR] < 1 × 10-12) were driven by these 3 major species (eg, positive association of S pneumoniae with glycolysis; FDR < 0.001). These microbial functional pathways were validated with the parallel metabolome data. Third, 104 transcriptome pathways were differentially enriched (FDR < .05)-for example, downregulated interferon-α and -γ and upregulated T-cell activation pathways. S pneumoniae was associated with most differentially expressed transcripts (eg, DAGLB; FDR < 0.05).ConclusionsBy applying metatranscriptomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic approaches to a multicenter cohort of infants with bronchiolitis, this study found an interplay between major bacterial species, their function, and host response in the airway, and their longitudinal relationship with asthma development.

Project description:BackgroundEmerging evidence suggests relationships between the nasopharyngeal metabolome and both the microbiota and severity of bronchiolitis. However, the influence of host systemic metabolism on disease pathobiology remains unclear. We aimed to examine metabolome profiles and their association with more-severe disease, defined by use of positive pressure ventilation (PPV), in infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis.MethodsIn 140 infants with bronchiolitis, metabolomic profiling was performed on serum; samples from 70 were in a training data set, and samples from 70 were in an independent test data set. We also profiled the nasopharyngeal airway microbiota and examined its association with the serum metabolites.ResultsSerum metabolome profiles differed by bronchiolitis severity (P < .001). In total, 20 metabolites in the training data set were significantly associated with the risk of PPV, of which 18 remained significant following adjustment for confounders (false-discovery rate [FDR], < 0.10). Phosphatidylcholine metabolites were associated with higher risks of PPV use, while metabolites from the plasmalogen subpathway were associated with lower risks. The test data set validated these findings (FDR < 0.05). Streptococcus abundance was positively associated with metabolites that are associated with higher risks of PPV.ConclusionsSerum metabolomic signatures were associated with both the nasopharyngeal microbiota and the severity of bronchiolitis. Our findings advance research into the complex interrelations between the airway microbiome, host systemic response, and pathobiology of bronchiolitis.

Project description:BackgroundWhile infant bronchiolitis contributes to substantial acute (eg, severity) and chronic (eg, asthma development) morbidities, its pathobiology remains uncertain. We examined the integrated relationships of local (nasopharyngeal) and systemic (serum) responses with bronchiolitis morbidities.MethodsIn a multicenter prospective cohort study of infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis, we applied a network analysis approach to identify distinct networks (modules)-clusters of densely interconnected metabolites-of the nasopharyngeal and serum metabolome. We examined their individual and integrated relationships with acute severity (defined by positive pressure ventilation [PPV] use) and asthma development by age 5 years.ResultsIn 140 infants, we identified 285 nasopharyngeal and 639 serum metabolites. Network analysis revealed 7 nasopharyngeal and 8 serum modules. At the individual module level, nasopharyngeal-amino acid, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and carnitine modules were associated with higher risk of PPV use (r > .20; P < .001), while serum-carnitine, amino acid, and glycerophosphorylcholine (GPC)/glycerophosphorylethanolamine (GPE) modules were associated with lower risk (all r < -.20; P < .05). The integrated analysis for PPV use revealed consistent findings-for example, nasopharyngeal-TCA (adjOR: 2.87, 95% CI: 1.68-12.2) and serum-GPC/GPE (adjOR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.38-0.80) modules-and an additional module-serum-glucose-alanine cycle module (adjOR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.56-0.86). With asthma risk, there were no individual associations, but there were integrated associations (eg, nasopharyngeal-carnitine module; adjOR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.11-1.99).ConclusionIn infants with bronchiolitis, we found integrated relationships of local and systemic metabolome networks with acute and chronic morbidity. Our findings advance research into the complex interplay among respiratory viruses, local and systemic response, and disease pathobiology in infants with bronchiolitis.

Project description:Little is known about the relationship between the specific airway microbiota composition and severity of bronchiolitis. We aimed to identify nasopharyngeal microbiota profiles and link these profiles to acute severity in infants hospitalised for bronchiolitis.We conducted a multicentre prospective cohort study of 1005 infants (age <1?year) hospitalised for bronchiolitis over three winters, 2011-2014. By applying a 16S rRNA gene sequence and clustering approach to the nasopharyngeal aspirates collected within 24?h of hospitalisation, we determined nasopharyngeal microbiota profiles and their association with bronchiolitis severity. The primary outcome was intensive care use, i.e. admission to an intensive care unit or use of mechanical ventilation.We identified four nasopharyngeal microbiota profiles: three profiles were dominated by one of Haemophilus, Moraxella or Streptococcus, while the fourth profile had the highest bacterial richness. The rate of intensive care use was highest in infants with a Haemophilus-dominant profile and lowest in those with a Moraxella-dominant profile (20.2% versus 12.3%; unadjusted OR 1.81, 95% CI 1.07-3.11, p=0.03). After adjusting for 11 patient-level confounders, the rate remained significantly higher in infants with Haemophilus-dominant profiles (OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.08-3.62, p=0.03). These findings were externally validated in a separate cohort of 307 children hospitalised for bronchiolitis.

Project description:RationaleBronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory infection in infants; however, it remains unclear which infants with bronchiolitis will develop severe illness. In addition, although emerging evidence indicates associations of the upper-airway microbiome with bronchiolitis severity, little is known about the mechanisms linking airway microbes and host response to disease severity.ObjectivesTo determine the relations among the nasopharyngeal airway metabolome profiles, microbiome profiles, and severity in infants with bronchiolitis.MethodsWe conducted a multicenter prospective cohort study of infants (age <1 yr) hospitalized with bronchiolitis. By applying metabolomic and metagenomic (16S ribosomal RNA gene and whole-genome shotgun sequencing) approaches to 144 nasopharyngeal airway samples collected within 24 hours of hospitalization, we determined metabolome and microbiome profiles and their association with higher severity, defined by the use of positive pressure ventilation (i.e., continuous positive airway pressure and/or intubation).Measurements and main resultsNasopharyngeal airway metabolome profiles significantly differed by bronchiolitis severity (P < 0.001). Among 254 metabolites identified, a panel of 25 metabolites showed high sensitivity (84%) and specificity (86%) in predicting the use of positive pressure ventilation. The intensity of these metabolites was correlated with relative abundance of Streptococcus pneumoniae. In the pathway analysis, sphingolipid metabolism was the most significantly enriched subpathway in infants with positive pressure ventilation use compared with those without (P < 0.001). Enrichment of sphingolipid metabolites was positively correlated with the relative abundance of S. pneumoniae.ConclusionsAlthough further validation is needed, our multiomic analyses demonstrate the potential of metabolomics to predict bronchiolitis severity and better understand microbe-host interaction.

Project description:Emerging evidence suggests that the airway microbiota plays an important role in viral bronchiolitis pathobiology. However, little is known about the combined role of airway microbiota and CCL5 in infants with bronchiolitis. In this multicenter prospective cohort study of 1005 infants (age <1 year) hospitalized for bronchiolitis during 2011-2014, we observed statistically significant interactions between nasopharyngeal airway CCL5 levels and microbiota profiles with regard to the risk of both intensive care use (Pinteraction =.02) and hospital length-of-stay ?3 days (Pinteraction =.03). Among infants with lower CCL5 levels, the Haemophilus-dominant microbiota profile was associated with a higher risk of intensive care use (OR, 3.20; 95%CI, 1.18-8.68; P=.02) and hospital length-of-stay ?3 days (OR, 4.14; 95%CI, 2.08-8.24; P<.001) compared to the Moraxella-dominant profile. Conversely, among those with higher CCL5 levels, there were no significant associations between the microbiota profiles and these severity outcomes (all P?.10).

Project description:BackgroundBronchiolitis is the leading cause of infant hospitalizations in the United States. Growing evidence supports the heterogeneity of bronchiolitis. However, little is known about the interrelationships between major respiratory viruses (and their species), host systemic metabolism, and disease pathobiology.MethodsIn an ongoing multicenter prospective cohort study, we profiled the serum metabolome in 113 infants (63 RSV-only, 21 RV-A, and 29 RV-C) hospitalized with bronchiolitis. We identified serum metabolites that are most discriminatory in the RSV-RV-A and RSV-RV-C comparisons using sparse partial least squares discriminant analysis. We then investigated the association between discriminatory metabolites with acute and chronic outcomes.ResultsIn 113 infants with bronchiolitis, we measured 639 metabolites. Serum metabolomic profiles differed in both comparisons (Ppermutation < 0.05). In the RSV-RV-A comparison, we identified 30 discriminatory metabolites, predominantly in lipid metabolism pathways (eg, sphingolipids and carnitines). In multivariable models, these metabolites were significantly associated with the risk of clinical outcomes (eg, tricosanoyl sphingomyelin, OR for recurrent wheezing at age of 3 years = 1.50; 95% CI: 1.05-2.15). In the RSV-RV-C comparison, the discriminatory metabolites were also primarily involved in lipid metabolism (eg, glycerophosphocholines [GPCs], 12,13-diHome). These metabolites were also significantly associated with the risk of outcomes (eg, 1-stearoyl-2-linoleoyl-GPC, OR for positive pressure ventilation use during hospitalization = 0.47; 95% CI: 0.28-0.78).ConclusionRespiratory viruses and their species had distinct serum metabolomic signatures that are associated with differential risks of acute and chronic morbidities of bronchiolitis. Our findings advance research into the complex interrelations between viruses, host systemic response, and bronchiolitis pathobiology.
