Epigenetic profiling of children with respiratory allergy

Project description:The prevalence of respiratory allergy in children is increasing. Epigenetic changes (e.g. DNA methylation) are plausible underlying molecular mechanisms. Longitudinal birth cohorts are instrumental to study the relation between early-life environmental factors and the development of complex diseases. Our AXA Research Fund and Cefic-LRI supported project explores the hypothesis that chemical exposures during pregnancy can influence the immune system and development of allergy in children. Questionnaire data, as well as cord blood, plus blood and saliva samples at age 11 years, were collected in substudies of two longitudinal birth cohorts in Belgium (FLEHS1 & FLEHS2) and analyzed with Illumina Methylation 450K BeadChips as well as gene targeted iPLEX MassArrays analysis. The project aims to answer the following questions: 1) can we identify specific changes in epigenetic modifications on DNA from allergic compared to not-allergic children; 2) are these allergy-related epigenetic changes a result of chemical exposure during pregnancy; and 3) did the early life exposures leave an epigenetic “mark” that is maintained through childhood. If chemicals exposures and resulting predictive markers of allergic diseases can be detected early, prevention strategies, particularly in children or before pregnancy, could be developed.

Endotype of Allergic Asthma with Airway Obstruction in Urban Children

Project description:In the first decade of life, high-asthma risk urban children develop stable phenotypes of respiratory health versus disease that link early life environmental exposures to childhood allergic sensitization and asthma. Moreover, unique patterns of nasal gene expression demonstrate how specific molecular pathways underlie distinct respiratory phenotypes, including allergic and non-allergic asthma.

The Biological Embedding of Early Life Socioeconomic and Family Adversity in Children’s Genome-wide DNA Methylation

Project description:Early life social experiences are believed to confer persistent effects on individual’s biology and subsequent functioning and health. Using a diverse, longitudinal community sample of 178 children, we show that three different types of early life social experience: family income, parental education, and family psychosocial adversity, each predict DNA methylation within buccal epithelial cells. Each predictor was significantly associated with DNA methylation within a unique set of genomic CpG sites, with income showing the greatest number of associations. Findings were independently verified using pyrosequencing. Our results provide evidence for longitudinal associations between early life social environment and variation in DNA methylation during childhood, after adjusting for genetic ancestry and self-reported ethnic minority status. Gene ontology analyses of top, differentially methylated CpG sites point to genes serving immune and developmental regulation functions, suggesting potential pathways for the biological embedding of early life stress and its association with later development and health.

Intra-individual methylomics detects the impact of early-life adversity

Project description:Genetic and environmental factors interact during sensitive periods early in life to influence mental health and disease via epigenetic processes such as DNA methylation. However, it is not known if DNA methylation changes outside the brain provide an 'epigenetic signature' of early-life experiences. Here, we employed a novel intra-individual approach by testing DNA methylation from buccal cells of individual rats before and immediately after exposure to one week of typical or adverse life experience. We find that whereas inter-individual changes in DNA methylation reflect the effect of age, DNA methylation changes within paired DNA samples from the same individual reflect the impact of diverse neonatal experiences. Genes coding for critical cellular–metabolic enzymes, ion channels and receptors were more methylated in pups exposed to the adverse environment, predictive of their repression. In contrast, the adverse experience was associated with less methylation on genes involved in pathways of death and inflammation as well as cell-fate related transcription factors, indicating their potential upregulation. Thus, intra-individual methylome signatures indicate large-scale transcription-driven alterations of cellular fate, growth and function.

Methylation arrays (MethylationEPIC) of cord and peripheral whole blood from children born to mothers with obesity or gestational diabetes, with longitudinal follow-up during their first year of life

Project description:Epidemiological studies have associated maternal metabolic conditions such as obesity and gestational diabetes with poor health outcomes in the offspring. Epigenetic mechanisms may help explain the intrauterine influence that mothers have on their offspring during pregnancy. Here, using Illumina's MethylationEPIC array technology, we have longitudinally profiled the blood methylomes of children born to mothers with obesity and obesity with gestational diabetes, and healthy controls, during the first year of life (measurements at 0, cord blood; 6 and 12 months, peripheral blood).

Repeated bisphenol A exposure in low concentrations alters the functionality and environment of a human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte model

Project description:Early embryonic development represents a sensitive time-window during which the foetus might be highly vulnerable to the exposure of environmental contaminants, potentially leading to heart diseases also later in life (Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) concept). Bisphenol A (BPA), a synthetic chemical widely used in plastics manufacturing, has been associated with heart developmental defects, even in low concentrations. This study aims to investigate the effects of environmentally relevant doses of BPA on developing cardiomyocytes using a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived model.

A single therapeutic early-in-life antibiotic course alters host immunologic development

Project description:Broad-spectrum antibiotics are frequently prescribed to children. The period of early-childhood represents a time where the developing microbiota may be more sensitive to environmental perturbations, which thus might have long-lasting host consequences. We hypothesized that even a single early-life broad-spectrum antibiotic course at a therapeutic dose (PAT) leads to durable alterations in both the gut microbiota and host immunity. In C57BL/6 mice, a single early-life tylosin (macrolide) course markedly altered the intestinal microbiome, and affected specific intestinal T-cell populations and secretory IgA expression, but PAT-exposed adult dams had minimal immunologic alterations. No immunological effects were detected in PAT-exposed germ-free animals; indicating that microbiota are required for the observed activities. Together these results indicate the impact of a single therapeutic early-life antibiotic course altering the microbiota and modulating host immune phenotypes that persist long after exposure has ceased.

Characterization of developing proteome during early childhood

Project description:Children develop rapidly during the first years of life, and understanding the different sources and levels of variation in serum proteome of young children is important when using serum proteins as markers for childhood diseases. We have performed label/free quantitative proteomics for longitudinal serum samples collected from a group of children during the first years of life.

The Biological Residue of Low Early-Life Social Class

Project description:Research shows that children who are reared in households with low socioeconomic status are more vulnerable to heart disease, respiratory infection, and some cancers when they reach adulthood. This study conducted transcriptional profiling of PBMC in healthy adults who were low vs. high in early-life SES to explore the long-lasting genomic effects of early experience. Keywords: life stress, gene expression, inflammation, socioeconomic status Samples from 30 adults with low early-life SES and 30 adults with high early-life SES

Early-adulthood spike in protein translation drives aging via juvenile hormone/germline signaling

Project description:Protein translation (PT) declines with age in invertebrates, rodents, and humans1-6. It has been assumed that elevated PT at young ages is beneficial to health and PT ends up dropping as a passive byproduct of aging. In Drosophila, we show that a transient elevation in PT during early-adulthood exerts long-lasting negative impacts on aging trajectories and proteostasis in later-life. Blocking the early-life PT elevation robustly improves life-/health-span and prevents age-related protein aggregation, whereas transiently inducing early-life PT surge in long-lived fly strains abolishes their longevity/proteostasis benefits. The early-life PT elevation triggers proteostatic dysfunction, silences stress responses, and drives age-related functional decline via juvenile hormone-lipid transfer protein axis and germline signaling. Our findings suggest that PT is adaptively suppressed after early-adulthood, alleviating later-life proteostatic burden, slowing down age-related functional decline, and improving lifespan. Our work provides a novel theoretical framework for understanding how lifetime PT dynamics shape future aging trajectories.
