Project description:Comparison of mRNA expression showed widespread changes in the circulating CD8+ but not CD4+ T-cells from patients with severe asthma. No changes were observed in the CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells in non-severe asthmatics versus healthy controls. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the changes in CD8+ T-cell mRNA expression were associated with multiple pathways involved in T-cell activation. As with mRNAs, we also observed widespread changes in expression of non-coding RNA species including natural antisense, pseudogenes, intronic long ncRNAs and long intergenic long ncRNAs in CD8+ T-cells from severe asthmatics. Measurement of the miRNA expression profile showed selective down-regulation of miR-28-5p in CD8+ T-cells and reduction of miR-146a and miR-146b in both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. mRNA samples were collected from circulating CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells from healthy donors as well as donors with severe and non-severe asthma.

Project description:Severe asthma is a collection of disease entities with varying pathophysiological characteristics (7) that result in symptoms of cough, wheeze and breathlessness, with frequent exacerbations. To address the problem of phenotypic difference and heterogeneity, the Unbiased Biomarkers for the Prediction of Respiratory Disease Outcomes (U-BIOPRED) project was set up as a public-private partnership within the framework of the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), engaging academia, the pharmaceutical industry and patient groups. The goal of this investigation was to identify transcript fingerprints in whole blood that characterize patients with severe asthma and to determine whether subgroups of severe asthmatics can be identified. Furthermore, we were interested in elucidating the biological pathways that showed differences between subgroups.

Project description:We analyzed the transcriptomes of children with controlled and uncontrolled asthma in Taiwanese Consortium of Childhood Asthma Study (TCCAS). Hierarchical clustering, differentially expressed gene (DEG), weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and pathway enrichment methods were performed, to investigate important genes between two groups.

Project description:Patients with severe uncontrolled asthma represent a distinct endotype with persistent airway inflammation and remodeling refractory to corticosteroid treatment. CD4+ T cells and their canonical effector molecules, like type 2 cytokines, play a central role in orchestrating asthma pathogenesis, and biologic therapies targeting these cytokine pathways have had promising outcomes. However, not all patients respond well to such treatment, and their effects are not always durable nor reverse airway remodeling. This observation raises the possibility that other CD4+ T cell subsets and their effector molecules may drive airway inflammation and remodeling. To address this issue in a hypothesis-free manner, we performed single-cell transcriptome analysis of >50,000 airway CD4+ T cells isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples from 30 patients with mild and severe asthma. We observed striking heterogeneity in the nature of CD4+ T cells present in asthmatics' airways with tissue-resident memory (TRM) cells making a dominant contribution. Notably, a subset of CD4+ TRM cells (CD103-expressing) was significantly increased, comprising nearly 65% of all CD4+ T cells in the airways of male patients with severe asthma when compared to mild asthma. This subset was enriched for transcripts linked to T cell receptor (TCR) activation (HLA-DRB1, HLA-DPA1, CD40LG) and cytotoxicity (GZMB, GZMH), and following stimulation expressed high levels of transcripts encoding for pro-inflammatory non-TH2 cytokines (CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, TNF, IL-17A, CSF2, LIGHT) that could fuel persistent airway inflammation and remodeling. Furthermore, we found that CD4+ T cells isolated ex vivo from airways of severe asthmatics displayed signatures linked to corticosteroid resistance (FKBP5, DDIT4), as well as reduced expression of transcripts encoding for molecules that dampen TCR signaling and T cell effector functions (CREM, DUSP1, TNFAIP3). Overall, our single-cell transcriptomic analysis highlights the pathogenic properties and clinical associations of airway CD4+ T cell subsets in severe asthmatics, features that can potentially trigger their unrestrained activation, and that these findings were more pronounced in males. These pathways may therefore be crucial for driving disease severity in adult male severe asthmatics.

Project description:Background:Dupilumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody, blocks the shared receptor component for interleukin-4 and interleukin-13, key drivers of type 2 inflammation. In the phase 3 LIBERTY ASTHMA QUEST trial (NCT02414854) in patients with uncontrolled, moderate-to-severe asthma, add-on dupilumab 200?mg or 300?mg every 2?weeks reduced exacerbations and improved forced expiratory volume in 1?s (FEV1) and quality of life over 52?weeks. This analysis evaluates dupilimab's effect on lung function in the overall population, and subgroups with baseline elevated type 2 inflammatory biomarkers. Methods:Patients were randomised to 52?weeks of subcutaneous dupilumab 200?mg every 2 weeks, 300?mg every 2 weeks, or matched-volume placebos. Lung function outcomes were analysed in the overall population, in patients with ?150?eosinophils·µL-1, ?300?eosinophils·µL-1, ?25?ppb fractional exhaled nitric oxide (F eNO), and both ?150?eosinophils·µL-1 and ?25?ppb F eNO, at baseline. Results:Dupilumab treatment (200?mg and 300?mg every 2?weeks) resulted in significant improvements versus placebo after 52?weeks in pre-bronchodilator FEV1 (0.20 and 0.13?L, respectively, versus placebo) and post-bronchodilator FEV1 (0.19 and 0.13?L, respectively), forced vital capacity (FVC) (0.20 and 0.14?L, respectively), forced expiratory flow (0.19 and 0.13?L·s-1, respectively) and pre-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio (1.75% and 1.61%, respectively) in the overall population (p<0.001). Difference versus placebo in post-bronchodilator FEV1 slope of change (weeks 4-52) was significant (0.04?L·year-1; p<0.05). Greater improvements were achieved in patients with elevated baseline blood eosinophil and/or F eNO levels for most outcomes. Conclusions:Dupilumab improves lung function outcomes, including large and small airway measurements and fixed airway obstruction, in patients with uncontrolled, moderate-to-severe asthma; particularly in patients with elevated biomarkers of type 2 inflammation.
