Conserved interferon signature between adult and pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis

ABSTRACT: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic inflammatory disease of the esophagus that occurs in both children and adults. Previous studies of affected tissue in pediatric cohorts have identified prominent signatures of eosinophilia and type 2 inflammation. However, the details of the immune response in adults with EoE are still being elucidated. To determine whether EoE in adults shares inflammatory profiles with those observed in children, we performed RNA-sequencing of paired esophageal biopsies and blood samples from adults with EoE or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Unbiased analysis of differentially expressed genes in tissue revealed a strong interferon signature that was significantly enriched in EoE patients as compared to patients with GERD. Both type I and type II interferon responsive genes were upregulated in adult biopsies, but not in blood. A similar increase in expression of interferon gene sets was observed in pediatric EoE biopsies as compared to non-EoE samples, and in public pediatric and adult RNA-sequencing data. Finally, we found that peripheral CD4+ T cells from children with EoE produce IFNG upon activation with EoE-causal allergens. Together, this work identifies a conserved interferon signature in pediatric and adult EoE, highlighting a role for non-type 2 inflammatory networks in the disease process.

Persistent epithelial barrier dysfunction and Periostin accumulation in histologic remission Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Project description:Patients with Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) require long-lasting resolution of inflammation to prevent fibrostenosis and dysphagia. However, the dissociation between symptoms and histologic improvement suggests persistent molecular drivers despite remission. We aimed to characterize persisting molecular alterations in pediatric patients with EoE using tissue proteomics. Esophageal tissue biopsies (n=151) and clinical data were collected prospectively from pediatric patients with EoE (N=34), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD; N=10; inflammatory controls) or functional disorders (FD; N=20; non-inflammatory controls). Biospies (n=131) acquired from the diagnostic endoscopy and up to 7 follow-ups were considered for proteome analysis in patients with EoE, while for GERD and FD only biopsies from initial diagnosis were included. Histologically active EoE (15 eosinophils per high power field (hpf)) was diagnosed in 79 biopsies and 52 samples derived from patients with EoE in remission (15 eosinophils per hpf). After microdissection of the epithelium proteins were extracted from the esophageal tissue followed by a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Proteomic analysis identified 3,704 different proteins in total across all samples.

DNA methylation in oesophageal biopsies of children diagnosed with Eosinophilic Oesophagitis (EoE) and controls

Project description:Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is a leading cause of dysphagia and food impaction in children and adults. In this pilot study, we performed genome-wide DNA methylation analyses on oesophageal biopsies obtained from children diagnosed with EoE (at diagnosis and after treatment) and matched controls. Analyses reveal striking disease associated differences in the DNA methylation profile of mucosal biopsies in children diagnosed with EoE, highlighting the great potential for epigenetic signatures to be developed into clinically applicable biomarkers.

Genome wide expression from esophageal biopsies of subjects with EoE-like inflammatory diseases, eosinophilic esophagitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease and healthy controls

Project description:Esophageal biopsy RNA was isolated from proximal esophageal biopsied RNA from patients with EoE-like inflammatory diseases (EoE-like esophagitis, lymphocytic esophagitis, non-specific esophagitis), patients with active EoE, patients with GERD, and unaffected healthy controls. EoE-like inflammatory disease patients were clinically active at the time when biopsies were taken. None of the patients (EoE-like inflammatory diseases, EoE, GERD and controls) were under anti-eosinophil treatment (including dietary restrictions). The quality of the RNA-seq data was assessed using fastqc v. 0.11.5 1) and RSeQC v. 2.6.4 2). The reads were mapped to the reference genome using HiSat2 v. 2.1.0 3). FeatureCounts v. 1.6.0 4) was used to count the number of reads overlapping with each gene as specified in the genome annotation (Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.94). The Bioconducture package DESeq2 5) was used to test for differential gene expression between the experimental groups. TopGo 6) was used to identify gene ontology terms containing unusually many differentially expressed genes. An interactive Shiny application was set up to facilitate the exploration and visualisation of the RNA-seq results. All analyses were run in R version 3.4.4 (2018-03-15)

Transcriptomic profiling of esophageal epithelium reveals enrichment of IFN-γ response gene signature during active EoE.

Project description:Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, allergic inflammatory disease of the esophageal mucosa. Although type 2 cytokines are predominant, targeting type 2 inflammation alone is not always effective for all patients. In EoE patients, the transcriptional profiling of esophageal biopsy reveals upregulation of type I and II interferon (IFN) response, dysregulated immune signaling, and downregulation of esophageal-specific genes. However, further investigation is needed to examine the gene expression changes in esophageal epithelium because it plays an important role in EoE. To investigate the upregulation of Interferon Stimulated Genes (ISGs) in EoE esophageal epithelium, we isolated epithelial cells from active EoE patients and non-EoE controls. We performed bulk RNA sequencing to analyze the epithelial-specific transcriptome in EoE. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the most variable genes differentiated the active EoE biopsies from non-EoE controls. Gene set enrichment analysis identified IFN-γ response as the most significant upregulated pathway.

Clariom S Microarray Expression Data from Human Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Control Esophageal Biopsies

Project description:This study sought to evaluate the diffferential gene expression of human Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) patients compared to control patients. Abstract from associated publication: Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic allergic disease characterized by progressive inflammation of the esophageal mucosa. While the transcriptome of EoE has been reported, few studies have examined the genetics among both adult and pediatric EoE populations. Here, we use microarray analysis to interrogate gene expression using esophageal biopsies from EoE and Control subjects with a wide age distribution. Analysis of differential gene expression and prediction of impaired pathways was compared using conventional transcriptome analysis programs and an artificial intelligence-based ADVAITA program. Principal Components Analysis revealed samples cluster by disease status (EoE and Control) irrespective of clinical features like sex, age, and disease severity. Global transcriptomic analysis revealed differential expression of several genes previously reported in EoE (CCL26, CPA3, POSTN, CTSC, ANO1, CRISP3, SPINK7). In addition, we identified differential expression of several genes from the MUC and SPRR families, which has not been previously reported. Our findings suggest their involvement in impaired barrier integrity and loss of epidermal cell differentiation in EoE patients. These findings present two new gene families that are differentially expressed in EoE patients in both adult and pediatric populations, which presents an opportunity for a future therapeutic targets that would be useful in a large demographic of patients.

Effect of the CTG repeat expansion on RNA splicing in children with congenital myotonic dystrophy

Project description:Congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM) is the most severe form of myotonic dystrophy type-1 (DM1). In adult DM1, dysregulation of alternative splicing of many transcripts results in the disease pathology. In CDM, the degree of aberrant splicing is not known, nor is it understood which transcripts are altered. Muscle biopsies were obtained from children with CDM, adults with DM1, healthy adult controls, and pathologically normal pediatric muscle. RNA was isolated and paired-end RNA-Seq was performed. Analysis used MAJIQ to generate percent spliced in (PSI) values. Sample sets were analyzed with Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) to identify splicing patterns. 11 muscle biopsies from children with CDM (age 2 month-16 years), 9 pediatric controls (age 1 month-13 years), 16 adult DM1 patients (ages 29-57), and 6 adult healthy controls (ages 19-28) were used for analysis. MAJIQ identified 2266 splicing events with adequate read depth and a PSI>0.15. WGCNA identified 4 patterns of splicing. The majority of the splicing events were the same in cases of CDM and DM1, while a subset of splicing changes were unique to CDM, many (e.g., PALLD) specific to development. The relative expression of RNA splicing factors with age may account for differences in the splicing patterns in CDM and DM1. Children with CDM have the RNA splicing events previously identified in adults with DM1, despite a divergent phenotype. There are also a minority of splicing events that are specific to CDM, largely related to transcripts regulating development.

Effect of IFN-α and IFN-γ on gene expression of 3D organoids derived from telomerase-immortalized normal human esophageal keratinocyte cell line, EPC2-hTERT.

Project description:Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, allergic inflammatory disease of the esophageal mucosa. While type 2 cytokines are predominant, targeting type 2 inflammation alone is not always effective for all patients. In EoE patients, the transcriptional profiling of esophageal biopsy reveal upregulation of type I and II interferon (IFN) response, dysregulated immune signaling and downregulation of esophageal-specific genes in EoE patients. However, the role of interferon signaling during EoE is not fully understood. This study aims to investigate the impact of IFN signaling on esophageal epithelium and elucidate its role in EoE. IFN-γ stimulation of esophageal epithelial cells triggered disruption of tissue differentiation, epithelial barrier integrity and cytotoxicity, which are relevant features of EoE immunopathology. Beyond EoE, our findings offer insights into esophageal disorders which may involve increased IFN-γ signaling, including infections, gastrophageal reflux disease, and Barrett's esophagus.

Local and systemic multiomics signature of eosinophilic esophagitis (EO) in children

Project description:We aimed to provide the most comprehensive description to date of both local and systemic immune constituents characterizing children with EO. For that purpose, we performed comprehensive immunophenotyping and cytokine/antibody measurements on paired biopsies and blood samples collected from children with EoE, in comparison to age-matched controls. EoE status was clinically and histologically characterized and confirmed using transcriptomer analysis. As a second objective, we aimed to identify an EoE signature in the periphery by combining the comprehensive analysis of circulating immune components and non-targeted metabolomics on plasma.
