Comparative Analysis of Transcriptional Responses in Monocytes from Human Neonates, Adults, and Older Adults

ABSTRACT: Human neonates and older adults frequently exhibit a reduced capacity to control microbial infections. A variety of mechanisms involving both the innate and adaptive immune systems have been proposed to contribute to these deficiencies. The emergence of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) as an accurate and quantitative method for examining mRNA levels provides an opportunity to compare transcriptional responses to a stimulus at a global scale in neonates, adults, and older adults. An examination of ex vivo monocyte responses to lipopolysaccharide stimulation or Listeria monocytogenes infection (with cord blood monocytes representing neonatal monocytes) revealed extensive similarities between all three age groups, with only a small number of genes exhibiting statistically significant differences. Using transcription factor motif analyses and RNA-seq data sets from a variety of mouse mutants, the most significant neonatal deficiencies corresponded to genes that require interferon response factor-3 or type 1 interferon signaling for their activation. In older adults, the most striking difference was broad, low-level activation of inflammatory genes prior to stimulation, consistent with prior evidence of a chronic inflammatory state in older adults. These results demonstrate the value of quantitative RNA-seq analyses and the feasibility of cross-species comparisons between well-defined mouse networks and human data sets.

Mass spectrometry analysis reveals developmental differences between platelets derived from neonates and adults

Project description:It has been proposed that developmental differences exist between neonatal and adult platelets. Detailed insight therein is, however, still lacking. We have now compared the platelet protein expression profile of neonates and adults employing a label-free quantitative mass spectrometry approach. In addition, platelet aggregation mediated by thromboxane A2 analog, collagen, and peptide agonists of the protease-activated-receptors 1 and 4 was assessed. Results showed that neonatal platelets effectively aggregate in the presence the employed platelet agonists. In agreement with previous studies, higher concentrations of the agonists were required to initiate aggregation in the neonatal platelets. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed no significant difference in the expression level of critical adhesive platelet proteins like glycoprotein (GP)Ib, integrin αIIbβ3, GPV and GPIX. Neonatal platelets did show reduced expression levels of proteins involved in intracellular signaling, i.e. LYN, MAP3k5 and FAM129A. Several proteins that are known to be related to mitochondrial energy metabolism processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, i.e. NDUFS3, NDUFS8 and NDUFA1 were upregulated in neonates. In conclusion, this study reveals that the platelets derived from neonates and adults are distinct. In particular, developmental changes were observed for proteins that belong to metabolic and energy generation processes.

Comparison of the functional microRNA expression in immune cell subsets of neonates and adults

Project description:Diversity of biological molecules in newborn and adult immune cells contributes to differences in cell function and atopic properties. Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are reported involve in the regulation of immune system. Therefore, determining the miRNA expression profile of leukocyte sub-populations is important for understanding immune system regulation. In order to explore the unique microRNA profiling that contribute to altered immune in neonates, we comprehensively analyzed the functional miRNA signatures of eight leukocyte subsets (polymorphonuclear cells, monocytes, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, natural killer cells, B cells, plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), and myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs)) from both neonatal and adult umbilical cord and peripheral blood samples, respectively. We observed distinct miRNA profiles between adult and neonatal blood leukocyte subsets, including unique miRNA signatures for each cell lineage. Leukocyte miRNA signatures were altered after stimulation. Adult peripheral leukocytes had higher let-7b-5p expression levels compared to neonatal cord leukocytes across multiple subsets, irrespective of stimulation. Transfecting neonatal monocytes with a let-7b-5p mimic resulted in a reduction of LPS-induced IL-6 and TNF-a production, while transfection of a let-7b-5p inhibitor into adult monocytes enhanced IL-6 and TNF-a production. With this functional approach, we provide intact differential microRNA expression profiling of specific immune cell subsets between neonates and adults. These studies serve as a basis to further understand the altered immune response observed in neonates and advance the development of therapeutic strategies

Inflammation of the Nasal Mucosa is Associated with Susceptibility to Experimental Pneumococcal Challenge in Older Adults

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae colonization in the upper respiratory tract is linked to pneumococcal disease development, predominantly affecting young children and older adults. As the global population ages and comorbidities increase, there is a heightened concern about this infection. We investigated the immunological responses of older adults to pneumococcal controlled human infection by analysing the cellular composition and gene expression in the nasal mucosa. Our comparative analysis with data from a concurrent study in younger adults revealed distinct gene expression patterns in older individuals susceptible to colonization, highlighted by neutrophil activation and elevated levels of CXCL9 and CXCL10. Unlike younger adults challenged with pneumococcus, older adults did not show recruitment of monocytes into the nasal mucosa following nasal colonization. However, older adults who were protected from colonization showed increased degranulation of CD8+ T cells, both before and after pneumococcal challenge. These findings suggest age-associated cellular changes, in particular enhanced mucosal inflammation, that may predispose older adults to pneumococcal colonization.

Quantitative age-specific variability of plasma proteins in healthy neonates, children and adults

Project description:Human blood plasma is a complex biological fluid containing soluble proteins, sugars, hormones, electrolytes, and dissolved gasses. As plasma interacts with a wide array of bodily systems, changes in protein expression, or the presence or absence of specific proteins are regularly used in the clinic as a molecular biomarker tool. A large body of literature exists detailing proteomic changes in pathologic contexts, however little research has been conducted on the quantitation of the plasma proteome in age-specific, healthy subjects, especially in pediatrics. In this study, we utilized SWATH-MS to identify and quantify proteins in the blood plasma of healthy neonates, infants under 1 year of age, children between 1-5 years, and adults. We identified more than 100 proteins that showed significant differential expression levels across these age groups, and we analyzed variation in protein expression across the age spectrum. The plasma proteomic profiles of neonates were strikingly dissimilar to the older children and adults. By extracting the SWATH data against a large human spectral library we increased protein identification more than 6-fold (940 proteins) and confirmed the concentrations of several of these using ELISA. The results of this study map the variation in expression of proteins and pathways often implicated in disease, and so have significant clinical implication.

Neonatal naïve CD8+ T cells have effector-like gene expression that prevents memory cell formation [small-RNA seq]

Project description:Neonates are intrinsically defective at creating memory CD8+ T cells in response to infection with intracellular pathogens. Here we investigated differential of small RNAs, transcription factors, and chemokine receptors regulation in neonates as compared to adults before and during infection. We found that prior to infection, naïve cells have a different expression profile for many microRNAs, and gene targets of these microRNAs show widespread expression differences. These targets and other changes in gene expression in naïve cells result in neonatal cells that get activated more easily, express chemokine receptors that home to sites of infection, and are less protected from apoptosis during contraction. As a result, changes in neonatal naïve cells drive effector cell terminal differentiation at the expense of creating long-lived memory cells. Small RNAs were sequenced from adult and neonatal CD8+ T cells before and during infection

Metformin Alters Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome Adaptations to Resistance Training in Older Adults

Project description:Evidence from clinical trials and observational studies suggests that both progressive resistance training (PRT) and metformin delay a variety of age-related morbidities. Previously, we completed a clinical trial testing the effects of 14 weeks of PRT + metformin (metPRT) compared to PRT with placebo (plaPRT) on muscle hypertrophy in older adults. We found that metformin blunted PRT-induced muscle hypertrophic response. To understand potential mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effect of metformin on PRT, we analyzed the muscle transcriptome in 23 metPRT and 24 plaPRT participants. PRT significantly increased expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix remodeling pathways, and downregulated RNA processing pathways in both groups, however, metformin blunted the number of differentially expressed genes within these pathways compared to plaPRT. Pathway analysis showed that genes unique to metPRT modulated aging-relevant pathways, such as cellular senescence and autophagy. Differentially expressed genes from baseline biopsies in older adults compared to resting muscle from young volunteers were reduced following PRT in plaPRT and were further reduced in metPRT. We suggest that although metformin may blunt pathways induced by PRT to promote muscle hypertrophy, adjunctive metformin during PRT may have beneficial effects on aging-associated pathways in muscle from older adults.
