Project description:Influenza virus transmission between mothers and nursing-infants has not been investigated although mothers and infants often develop severe disease. Ferrets are considered the most appropriate model for influenza studies. We investigated influenza transmission in infant and nursing-mother ferrets. Influenza infected infants transmitted virus to mother mammary glands leading to live virus excretion in milk and influenza virus positive mammary gland epithelial cells. Global gene expression analysis showed down-regulation of milk production and induction of breast involution and oncogenesis pathways. Our results provide insight into influenza transmission between mothers and infants which may impact fields of infectious disease, maternal/infant health and neoplasm etiology. Total RNA was obtained from nursing mother ferret mammary glands at days 3/4 and 6/7 post-intranasal kit infection with 10^5 EID50 A/California/07/2009 (H1N1). Total RNA was also collected from uninfected control nursing mother mammary gland tissues (n = 3). Changes in gene expression relative to uninfected tissue controls were then investigated.

Project description:The determinants of influenza transmission remain poorly understood. Swine influenza viruses preferentially attach to receptors found in the upper airways; however, most swine influenza viruses fail to transmit efficiently from swine to humans, and from human-to-human. The pandemic 2009 H1N1 (H1N1pdm) virus was a rare exception of a swine virus that acquired efficient transmissibility from human-to-human, and is reflected in efficient respiratory droplet transmission in ferrets. We hypothesize that virus-induced host responses in the upper airways correlate with airborne transmission in ferrets. To address this question, we used the H1N1pdm virus and swine influenza A/swine/Hong Kong/201/2010 (HK201) virus that has comparable titre in the ferret nasopharynx, but it exhibits differential transmissibility in ferrets via respiratory droplet route. We performed a transcriptomic analysis of tissues from the upper and lower respiratory tract from ferrets infected with either H1N1pdm or HK201 viruses using ferret-specific Agilent oligonucleotide arrays. We found differences in the kinetics of the innate immune response elicited by these two viruses that varied across tissues.

Project description:Background: Maternal pre-pregnancy BMI is a critical factor influencing the composition of breast milk. Breast milk has abundant extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing various biological molecules (cargo), including miRNAs. EVs are not degraded in the gastrointestinal system and circulation; thus, breast milk EVs (bEVs) interact with other organs in breastfed infants and modify the gene expression of recipient cells using miRNAs. In maternal obesity, miRNAs in bEVs are deregulated, which might be associated with adverse health outcomes in infants. In this study, we examined 798 miRNAs to determine which miRNAs are altered in the bEVs of obese mothers and their potential impact on breastfed infants. Methods: We recruited healthy nursing mothers who were either obese (BMI≥30) or lean (BMI<25) based on their pre-pregnancy BMI, and delivered a singleton baby in the prior six months. EVs were isolated from breast milk with ultracentrifugation. bEV characteristics were examined by flow cytometry and fluorescence imaging of EV markers. A total of 798 miRNAs were screened using a NanoString human miRNA panel to find deregulated miRNAs in bEVs of obese mothers compared to lean mothers. Results: We included 65 nursing mothers: 47 lean and 18 obese mothers based on pre-pregnancy BMI. After bEV isolation, we confirmed the expression of general EV markers. Out of 37 EV markers, CD326 was the most highly expressed marker in bEVs. From miRNA analysis using NanoString, we found that the most abundant miRNAs include miR-30b-5p, miR-494-3p, and let-7 families, and the list of top 10 miRNAs was not different between lean and obese mothers. Target genes of the top 10 miRNAs were associated with the EGFR, ErbB, and FoxO signaling pathway. Nineteen miRNAs were deregulated in bEVs of obese mothers (adjusted p < 0.05 cut-off), including miR-575, miR-548g-3p, miR-582-3p, and miR-652-5p. The target genes of these miRNAs are associated with lipid metabolism, inflammatory diseases, and nervous/cardiovascular system development. Conclusion: In this study, we demonstrated altered miRNAs in bEVs of obese mothers and identified the pathways of their potential target genes. Our findings will provide insight for future studies investigating the role of bEVs in breastfed infants.

Project description:The objective of this study is to investigate the changes of the breast milk proteome from four individual mothers over a six month lactation period by shotgun proteomic techniques, because a comprehensive understanding of the human milk proteome may lead to better understanding of the needs of infants. This may contribute to the improvement of infant formula.

Project description:It is unclear to what degree protein degradation occurs in the infant stomach and whether peptides previously annotated for bioactivity are released. This study combined nanospray liquid chromatography separation with time of flight mass spectrometry, comprehensive structural libraries and informatics to interrogate milk of three human mothers and the gastric aspirates from their 4–12 day post-partum infants. Milk from the mothers contained almost two hundred distinct peptides, demonstrating enzymatic degradation of milk proteins beginning either during lactation or between milk collection and feeding. In the gastric samples, 649 milk peptides were identified, demonstrating that digestion continues in the infant stomach. The majority of peptides in both the intact milk and gastric samples were derived from β-casein. The numbers of peptides from β-casein, lactoferrin, α-lactalbumin, lactadherin, κ-casein, serum albumin, bile-salt associated lipase and xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase were significantly higher in the gastric samples than the milk samples (p<0.05). Six hundred three peptides were significantly different in abundance between milk and gastric samples (p<0.05). Most of the identified peptides have previously identified biological activity. Gastric proteolysis occurs in the term infant in the first two weeks of life releasing biologically active milk peptides with immunomodulatory, antibacterial, and calcium-binding activity of clinical relevance to the proximal intestinal tract.

Project description:Human milk is the truest form of personalized nutrition, supporting dynamic needs of the infant with important nutritional and bioactive constituents that change throughout lactation. Additionally, human milk is individual specific and is unique for each mother-infant dyad. Proteins and endogenous peptides are 2 key classes of major human milk components making up the proteome, each with unique and synergistic functionality, working to provide protection for the healthy development of infants. Our objective was to comprehensively characterize and quantify the human milk proteome for varying early life challenges. We assessed in-depth individual variations of the human milk proteome across lactation, by mass spectrometry. Finding that the human milk proteome showed continuous and gradual changes over lactation, and that inflammatory events correlated with a strong and rapid change in the composition of human milk proteins and peptides. Personalized human milk profiling resulted in the systematic annotation of the milk proteome, and elucidated how early onset inflammatory events can lead to infant immune training from human milk.

Project description:Human milk (HM) contains an array of regulatory biomolecules including miRNAs, the origin, properties, distribution and functional significance of which are still undetermined. In this study, we used the TaqMan OpenArray System to profile 681 human mature miRNAs in two fractions of HM (cells and lipids) collected from healthy mothers in month 2 of lactation (n=10). Comparisons were performed with maternal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and plasma collected from the same individuals, as well as with a bovine- and a soy-based infant formulae. HM cells (292 miRNAs) and PBMCs (345 miRNAs) had higher miRNA content than HM lipids (242 miRNAs) and plasma (219 miRNAs), respectively (p<0.05). Despite the wide variation in miRNA profiles and expression between mothers, a strong association was found between HM cells and lipids within a mother, whilst PBMCs and plasma were distinctly different to the two milk fractions, with plasma displaying marked inter-individual variation. Considering the dominance of epithelial cells in mature milk of healthy women, these results suggest that HM cell and lipid miRNAs primarily originate from the mammary epithelium, whilst the maternal circulation may have a smaller contribution. Infant formulae contained very few human miRNA compared to HM. Our findings demonstrate that unlike infant formulae, human milk is a rich source of lactation-specific miRNA, which could be used as a biomarker of the performance and health status of the lactating gland. Given the recently identified stability and gene regulatory functions of food-derived miRNAs, HM miRNAs may contribute to infant protection and development.
