Project description:The exacerbation of disease in asthmatics has been linked to both exposure to environmental agents as well as to the presence of virus in airways, particularly rhinovirus. The hypothesis tested in these experiments is that differences in gene expression profiles in epithelial cells derived from asthmatic and normal airways can be linked to enhanced responsiveness of the epithelium in its pro-inflammatory, immulogic or other activities that may lead to the exacerbation of disease.

Project description:Using a human model of asthma exacerbation, we compared the airway mucosa in allergic asthmatics and allergic non-asthmatic controls using single-cell RNA-sequencing frameworks. In response to allergen challenge, the airway epithelium in asthmatics was highly dynamic and upregulated genes involved in matrix degradation, mucus metaplasia, and glycolysis while failing to induce injury-repair and antioxidant pathways observed in controls. Asthmatics also had a unique mucosal immune profile, characterized by IL9-expressing pathogenic TH2 cells and enrichment of DC2 (CD1C) and CCR2-expressing monocyte-derived cells (MC) after allergen, with upregulation of genes that promote pathologic airway remodeling. In contrast, controls were enriched for macrophage-like MC that upregulated tissue repair programs after allergen challenge, suggesting these populations may protect against asthmatic airway remodeling. These findings reveal a novel TH2-mononuclear phagocyte-epithelial interactome unique to asthmatics, suggesting that pathogenic effector circuits and the absence of pro-resolution programs drive structural airway disease in response to type 2 inflammation.

Project description:Asthma is a very frequent airway disease that affects 6 to 20% of the population. Severe asthma, represents 3 to 5% of all asthmatic patients and is histologically characterized by an increased bronchial smooth muscle (BSM) mass and clinically by viral exacerbations. Functionally, BSM remodeling had a poor prognostic value in asthma, since higher BSM mass was associated with lower lung function and increased exacerbation rate. However, the role of BSM as a potential actor of asthma exacerbation has only been sparsely suggested. We thus hypothesis that asthmatic BSM cells could act on bronchial epithelium and modified its response to rhinovirus infection.

Project description:Background: Evidence suggests that immune responses to rhinovirus A and C are altered in asthmatic children and rhinovirus species induce different types of antibody responses. Objective: To ascertain and compare the T-cell memory response induced by RV-A and RV-C in asthmatic and non-asthmatic children. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from children who previously suffered asthma exacerbation (asthmatics) and non-asthmatic controls were stimulated in vitro with peptide formulations to induce representative species-specific responses to RV-A and RV-C. Expression of genes was measured by RNA-seq and differentially expressed genes were further analysed to identify enriched pathways and upstream regulators. Results: Responses to RV-A showed markedly higher upregulation of IFNG and the IFNG responsive genes CXCL9, 10 and 11 and STAT1 compared to RV-C. There was no reciprocal upregulation of Th2 cytokine genes or the Th2 chemokine genes CCL11, CCL17 and CCL22. RV-C but not RV-A induced high upregulation of CCL24 (eotaxin-2) in both non-asthmatic and asthmatic responses. Upstream regulator analysis showed both RV-A and, although to a diminished extent, RV-C induced predominant Th1 and inflammatory cytokine expression. The responses of asthmatics compared to non-asthmatics was diminished to both RV-A and RV-C while retaining the pattern for gene expression and upstream regulators characteristic of each species and there was no upregulation of Th2-type responses. All groups showed activation of the IL-17A pathway. Conclusions: RV-C induced memory cells with a lower IFNG type response than RV-A without Th2 upregulation. Asthmatics had lower recall responses than non-asthmatics while largely retaining the same gene activation profile for each species.

Project description:Background: Clinical transcriptomics of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are coming into focus as a surrogate approach for prognosis, diagnosis, biomarker discovery and examination disease mechanisms. However, bioassays paired with transcriptomic analytic tools are yet to be developed and made available at point of care. Harnessing personal dynamic genomic responses to tailor patient asthma treatment or prevent disease exacerbations remain unmet medical needs. Method: We developed a rhinovirus-stimulated peripheral blood based-assay (virogram assay) coupled with single-subject analytics (N-of-1-patwhays) to capture dynamic genome-wide expression and dysregulated pathways to retrospectively predict childhood asthma exacerbation. We hypothesized that some genomic factors might predispose any given individual, healthy or asthmatic, to a set of similar transcriptional responses to rhinovirus stimulation. We first generated a classifier from paired sample microarrays, control and stimulated PBMC from healthy subjects and applied this classifier on the transcriptomic analysis of control and HRV-stimulated PBMC samples (virogram assay) from children with asthma. Results: The analysis of the different genomic responses of single-subject paired PBMC samples (HRV-stimulated and control) derived from healthy individuals (external dataset) enabled the discovery of dysregulated pathways related to acquired immunity, epigenetics and morphogenesis. The classifier built on these results and applied on the transcriptional analysis derived from the virogram assay predicted that the risk of asthma exacerbation among asthmatic subjects with an accuracy of 70%. Conclusion: We provide evidence that clinical prognosis can be predicted with a PBMC based-bioassay aligned with adequate single-subject analytics to assess dynamic transcriptomic response to specific disease-associated stimuli.

Project description:We report the application of RNA sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of gene expression responses to human rhinovirus infection at 24 hours in air-liquid interface human airway epithelial cell cultures derived from 6 asthmatic and 6 non-asthmatic donors. RNA-seq analysis identified sets of genes associated with asthma specific viral responses. These genes are related to inflammatory pathways, epithelial remodeling and cilium assembly and function, including those described previously (e.g. CCL5, CXCL10 and CX3CL1), and novel ones that were identified for the first time in this study (e.g. CCRL1, CDHR3). We concluded that air liquid interface cultured human airway epithelial cells challenged with live HRV are a useful in vitro model for the study of rhinovirus induced asthma exacerbation, given that our findings are consistent with clinical data sets. Furthermore, our data suggest that abnormal airway epithelial structure and inflammatory signaling are important contributors to viral induced asthma exacerbation. Differentiated air-liquid interface cultured human airway epithelial cell mRNA profiles from 6 asthmatic and 6 non-asthmatic donors after 24 hour treatment with either HRV or vehicle control were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Project description:Asthma is a heterogeneous disease. Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a distinct syndrome that occurs in 30-50% of asthmatics and is characterized by high levels of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. We identified genes differentially expressed in the airways of asthmatics with EIB relative to asthmatics without EIB. Genes related to epithelial repair and mast cell infiltration including beta-tryptase and carboxypeptidase A3 were upregulated by exercise challenge in the asthma group with EIB. We confirmed that two novel mediators trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) and transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) have increased expression in airways cells and secreted product in the airways. In vitro studies indicate that 1) TFF3 induces nitric oxide synthase in airway epithelial cells from asthmatics and 2) TGM2 augments the enzymatic activity of secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) group X, an enzyme recently been implicated in asthma pathogenesis. Since PLA2 serves as the first rate-limiting step leading to eicosanoid generation, these results suggest that TGM2 may be a key initiator of the airway inflammatory cascade in asthma.

Project description:Background: Mechanisms underlying the development of virus-induced asthma exacerbations remain unclear. Objective: To investigate if epigenetic mechanisms could be involved in virus-induced asthma exacerbations, we undertook DNA methylation profiling in asthmatic and healthy nasal epithelial cells (NECs) during Human Rhinovirus (HRV) infection in vitro. Methods: Global and loci-specific methylation profiles were determined via Alu element and Infinium Human Methylation 450K microarray respectively. Principal components analysis identified the genomic loci influenced the most by disease-status and infection. Real-time PCR and pyrosequencing was used to confirm gene expression and DNA methylation respectively. Results: Global methylation was increased in Asthmatics during infection. Disease status and virus infection influenced the methylation of 389 loci. Healthy and asthmatic NECs were characterized predominately by methylation profiles and patterns in loci that were not influenced by virus infection. However, both groups also exhibited distinct DNA methylation profiles in response to infection. Despite these differences, we found that the methylation of small nucleolar RNA, H/ACA box 12 (SNORA12) was common during infection. Further analysis indicated a relationship existed between SNORA12 DNA methylation and gene expression in response to infection. Conclusions: Findings from our study indicate that in addition to the well described phenotypic and genomic differences, the airway epithelium of asthmatics is characterized by a distinct methylome and that epigenetic mechanism may contribute to the development of virus-induced asthma exacerbations. Bisulphite converted DNA from matched mock and human rhinovirus-16 infected nasal epithelial cells from Healthy (n=3) and Asthmatics (n=6) adults were hybridized to the Illumina DNA methylation 450K Bead Array.

Project description:Human Rhinovirus (HRV) infection can trigger exacerbations of asthma. Understanding of the mechanisms provoking airway inflammation and remodeling in asthma, as well as the pathogenic mechanisms of HRV infection and its association with asthma exacerbations, may offer significant opportunities for improved disease management. Genome-wide expression analysis of HRV type 1A-infected primary bronchial epithelial (PBE) cells from normal and asthmatic donors was performed to determine whether asthma is associated with a unique pattern of gene expression after HRV infection in vitro.
