Transcriptome analysis identifies Doublesex and Mab-3 Related Transcription Factor (DMRT3) in nasal polyp epithelial cells of patients suffering from Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs- Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (N-ERD)

ABSTRACT: Objective: To establish the transcriptome of the nasal polyp airway epithelial cells derived from N-ERD patients to uncover the gene expression patterns during this disease. Methods: Nasal airway epithelial cells were isolated from 12 N-ERD polyps and 9 N-ERD non polyp nasal mucosa as controls from the same subjects. RNA was sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000. Potential gene candidate DMRT3 was selected from the differentially expressed genes for validation. Results: Comparative transcriptome profiling of nasal epithelial cells was achieved in N-ERD. 18 genes had twofold mean regulation expression differences or greater. 5 genes were upregulated including DMRT3 and 12 genes were down-regulated. Differentially regulated genes included inflammation, defense and immunity. Significantly enriched pathways were metabolic process and embryonic development. ELISA results of DMRT3 in N-ERD patients was significantly upregulated when compared to controls (p= 0.03). IHC of N-ERD nasal polyps localised DMRT3 and was predominantly released in the airway epithelia. These results corroborate with our findings. Conclusion: Findings suggest that DMRT3 could be potentially involved in nasal polyps development in N-ERD patients. Known functions of DMRT3 include nucleic acid binding and highly expressed during embryonic development. Several genes are downregulated, hinting dedifferentiation phenomenon in N-ERD polyps. However, further studies are required to confirm the exact mechanism of polyps formation in N-ERD patients.

Project description:Background: Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is emerging as a widespread mechanism of gene regulation. The usage of APA sites allows a single gene to encode multiple mRNA transcripts with different 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) lengths. Many disease processes reflect the importance of the regulation of APA site switching. The objective of this study was to explore the profiling of tandem APA sites in nasal polyps compared with nasal uncinate process mucosa. Methods: Sequencing of APA sites (SAPAS) based on second-generation sequencing technology was undertaken to investigate the use of tandem APA sites and identify gene expression patterns in samples from the nasal polyps and nasal uncinate process mucosa of two patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. The findings of the SAPAS analysis were validated via quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results: First, the results showed a switching of 3'UTR lengths in nasal polyps compared with nasal uncinate process mucosa. From the two patients, 105 overlapping genes in the nasal polyps were switched to distal poly(A) sites, and 90 such genes were switched to proximal poly(A) sites. Several Gene Ontology terms were enriched in the list of genes with switched APA sites, including transcription regulation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and metabolism. Second, we detected genes that showed differential expression with at least a 3-fold difference between nasal polyp tissue and nasal uncinate process mucosa. Between the two sample types, 627 genes exhibited differential expression. The qRT-PCR results confirmed our SAPAS results. Conclusion: APA site-switching events of 3'UTRs are prevalent in nasal polyp tissue, and the regulation of gene expression mediated by APA may play an important role in the formation and persistence of nasal polyps. Our results may provide new insights into the possible pathophysiologic processes involved in nasal polyps. Investigate the use of tandem APA sites of 3'ends of mRNAs using second-generation sequencing technology.

Project description:Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) in western countries is characterized by eosinophilia, IgE production and Th2 cytokine expression. Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) from polyps produce IL-5 and IL-13 in response to IL-25 and IL-33 although the relevance of this axis to local mucosal T cell responses is unknown. Objective: To investigate the role of the IL-25/IL-33 axis in local mucosal T cell responses in CRSwNP. Methods: Polyp tissue and blood were obtained from patients undergoing nasal polypectomy. Control nasal biopsies and blood were obtained from healthy volunteers. Tissue was cultured in a short-term explant model. T cell surface phenotype/intracellular cytokines were assessed by flow cytometry. TCR VÎ² analysis was performed with the immunoSEQ assay. Microarrays were performed for gene expression analysis. Results: Using nasal polyp tissue, numerous IL-25 receptor (IL-17RB) positive polarized Th2 cells were identified which were absent in the healthy nasal mucosa and periphery. IL-17RB+CD4+ polyp Th2 cells co-expressed ST2 (IL-33 receptor) and responded to IL-25 and IL-33 with enhanced IL-5 and IL-13 production. Within IL-17RB+CD4+ T cells several identical TCR VÎ² CDR3 sequences were identified in different subjects suggesting clonal expansion driven by a common antigen. Abundant IL-17 producing T cells were observed in healthy nasal mucosal and polyp populations with Th17-related genes the most overexpressed compared to peripheral blood T cells. Conclusion: IL-25 and IL-33 may interact locally with IL-17RB+ST2+ polyp T cells to augment Th2 responses in CRSwNP. A local Th17 response may be the default signature in healthy nasal mucosal immune homeostasis. Three biological replicates. T-helper cells were isolated nasal polyps by explant culture from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Cells were then sorted based upon expression of IL17RB by flow cytometric sorting. Resting and activated IL-17RB+ve cells were compared with resting and activated IL-17RB-ve cells.
