Project description:BACKGROUND: 50% to 80% of asthma exacerbations are precipitated by viral upper respiratory tract infections (RTI), yet the influence of viral pathogen diversity on asthma outcomes is poorly understood due to the limited scope and throughput of conventional viral detection methods. METHODS: We investigated the capability of the Virochip, a DNA microarray-based viral detection platform, to characterize the viral diversity in RTIs in asthmatic and non-asthmatic adults. RESULTS: The Virochip detected viruses in a higher proportion of samples (65%) than culture isolation (17%), while exhibiting high concordance (98%), sensitivity (97%) and specificity (98%) with pathogen-specific PCR. A similar spectrum of viruses was identified in the RTIs from each patient subgroup; however, unexpected diversity among the coronaviruses (HCoVs) and HRVs was revealed. All but one of the HCoVs corresponded to the newly-recognized HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-HKU1 viruses, and over 20 different serotypes of HRVs were detected, including a set of 5 divergent isolates that form a distinct genetic subgroup. CONCLUSIONS: The Virochip can detect both known and novel variants of viral pathogens present in RTIs. Given the diversity detected here, larger scale studies will be necessary to determine if particular substrains of viruses confer an elevated risk of asthma exacerbation Keywords: Virus detection

Project description:Unlike other respiratory viruses, SARS-CoV-2 disproportionately causes severe disease in older adults and only rarely in children. To investigate whether differences in the upper airway immune response could contribute to this disparity, we compared nasopharyngeal gene expression in 83 children (<19-years-old; 38 with SARS-CoV-2, 11 with other respiratory viruses, 34 with no virus) and 154 adults (>40-years-old; 45 with SARS-CoV-2, 28 with other respiratory viruses, 81 with no virus). Expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) was robustly activated in both children and adults with SARS-CoV-2 compared to the respective non-viral groups, with only relatively subtle distinctions. Children, however, demonstrated markedly greater upregulation of pathways related to B cell and T cell activation and proinflammatory cytokine signaling, including TNF, IFNγ, IL-2 and IL-4 production. Cell type deconvolution confirmed greater recruitment of B cells, and to a lesser degree macrophages, to the upper airway of children. Only children exhibited a decrease in proportions of ciliated cells, the primary target for SARS-CoV-2, upon infection with the virus. These findings demonstrate that children elicit a more robust innate and adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection in the upper airway that likely contributes to their protection from severe disease in the lower airway.

Project description:This series includes 278 microarrays used to detect respiratory viruses in a set of nasopharyngeal lavage specimens from children with respiratory tract infections Objective: To assess the utility of a pan-viral DNA microarray platform (Virochip) in the detection of viruses associated with pediatric respiratory tract infections. Study Design: The Virochip was compared to conventional clinical direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) and PCR-based testing for the detection of respiratory viruses in 278 consecutive nasopharyngeal aspirate samples from 222 children. Results: The Virochip was superior in performance to DFA, showing a 19% increase in the detection of 7 respiratory viruses included in standard DFA panels, and was similar to virus-specific PCR (sensitivity 85-90%, specificity 99%, PPV 94-96%, NPV 97-98%) in the detection of respiratory syncytial virus, influenza A, and rhino-/enteroviruses. The Virochip also detected viruses not routinely tested for or missed by DFA and PCR, as well as double infections and infections in critically ill patients that DFA failed to detect. Conclusions: Given its favorable sensitivity and specificity profile and greatly expanded spectrum of detection, microarray-based viral testing holds promise for clinical diagnosis of pediatric respiratory tract infections.

Project description:Human bocavirus (HBoV) is a newly discovered parvovirus identified from pooled nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens. Human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1) is a respiratory virus observed in respiratory samples from small children presenting bronchiolitis, wheezing, cough, fever, and rhinorrhea. It is the fourth most common virus detected in respiratory infections. DNA of HBoV1 was detected in up to 18% of nasal or nasopharyngeal samples and another study has been shown that over than 85% of children in the United States have antibodies to this virus. HBoV1 is a small DNA virus with a nonenveloped icosahedral capsid. This virus previously has been associated with wheezing, acute otitis media, severe pneumonia and respiratory failure. HBoV 1 has been also detected in the blood of acute respiratory patients and the selected group of immunocompromised children and also determined in healthy blood donors. The role of HBoV1 in the inflammatory process is poorly known. The aim of this project is to clarify the role of HBOV1 in the immunoregulatory mechanisms.

Project description:This was a prospective observational cohort study involving a convenience sample of previously healthy children <2 years of age with acute RSV infection as well as healthy non-infected age matched controls. The study was conducted at Nationwide Children’s Hospital (NCH; Columbus, OH) during four respiratory seasons, from 2011 to 2015. Children were enrolled at the NCH urgent care clinics, the emergency department or in the inpatient ward or intensive care unit (PICU). For the inpatients enrolled at ward or PICU the median time from admission to sample collection was 21.3h (interquartile range [IQR] 16.7 -37.6h). The majority of children had a confirmatory RSV test (either rapid antigen testing or PCR based) at enrollment per standard of care. In addition, the presence of RSV was confirmed by quantitative real time (qRT)-PCR in all study subjects. Healthy age-matched controls were enrolled during well-child visits or minor elective surgical procedures not involving the respiratory tract as described [Mejias 2013]. Exclusion criteria were as follows: documented bacterial co-infections, premature birth (<36 weeks of gestation), chronic or congenital medical conditions, and immunodeficiency. For healthy controls, additional exclusion criteria included: presence of fever or symptoms of respiratory tract infection within two weeks of enrollment.

Project description:Background: In asthma, airway epithelium remodeling can already be detected during childhood, and epithelial cells are more susceptible to virus and oxidative stress. Their exact role in natural history and severity of children allergic respiratory disease remains however surprisingly unexplored. Aim: To analyze dysfunctions of epithelium in dust mite allergic respiratory disease (rhinitis ± asthma) in children. Methods: Expression profilings of nasal epithelial cells collected by brushing were performed on Affymetrix Hugene 1.0 ST arrays. All allergic patients were sensitized to dust mite. 19 patients had an isolated allergic rhinitis (AR). 14 patients had AR associated with asthma. Patients were compared to 12 controls, their severity and control being assessed according to NAEPP and ARIA criteria. Infections by respiratory viruses were excluded by real-time PCR measurements. Results: 61 probes were able to distinguish allergic rhinitis children from healthy controls. A majority of these probes was under the control of Th2 cytokines, as evidenced by parallel experiments performed on primary cultures of nasal epithelial cells. In uncontrolled asthmatic patients, we observed not only an enhanced expression of these Th2-responsive transcripts, but also a down-regulation of interferon-responsive genes. Conclusion: Our study identifies a Th2 driven epithelial phenotype common to all dust mite allergic children. Besides, it suggests that epithelium is involved in the severity of the disease. Expression profiles observed in uncontrolled asthmatic patients suggest that severity of asthma is linked at the same time to atopy and to impaired viral response. Nasal epithelium gene expression profiling of dust mite allergic children with isolated rhinitis, rhinitis associated with asthma and controls. 38 samples classified in 4 categories : 14 isolated rhinitis (R), 6 rhinitis with uncontrolled asthma (UA), 7 rhinitis with controlled asthma (CA) and 11 healthy subjects (C )
