Project description:Preschool wheeze is an early life bronchoconstriction disorder with an increased risk of progression to chilhood asthma. Preschool wheeze is typically triggered by respiratory infection, but airway inflammatory phenotypes, including the phenotype of airway macrophages (AMs), in preschool wheeze is not fully understood. In this study, AMs were sorted from preschool wheeze patients and non-wheezing paediatric controls under clinical investigation for chronic cough and gene expression assessed by Illumina mRNA sequencing (110 base pair, paired end reads). A number of differentially expressed genes were observed in AMs from preschool wheeze compared to those from controls, including genes encoding pro-inflammatory chemokines and genes associated with a more immature and inflammatory AM phenotype. These findings suggest that AMs contribute to an altered airway immune landscape in preschool wheeze.

Project description:Preschool children with recurrent wheezing are heterogeneous, with differing responses to respiratory viral infections. Although neutrophils are crucial for host defense, their function has not been studied in this population. We performed functional immunophenotyping on isolated blood neutrophils from 52 preschool children with recurrent wheezing (aeroallergen sensitization, n=16; no sensitization, n=36). Blood neutrophils were purified and cultured overnight with polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)) as a viral analog stimulus. Neutrophils underwent next-generation sequencing with Reactome pathway analysis and were analyzed for cytokine secretion, apoptosis, myeloperoxidase and extracellular DNA release. CD14+ monocytes were also exposed to neutrophil culture supernatant and analyzed for markers of M1 and M2 activation. 495 genes, related largely to the innate immune system and neutrophil degranulation, were differently expressed in children with versus without aeroallergen sensitization. Functional experiments identified more neutrophil degranulation and extracellular trap formation (i.e., more myeloperoxidase and extracellular DNA) and less neutrophil pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in children with aeroallergen sensitization. Neutrophils also shifted CD14+ monocytes to a more anti-inflammatory (i.e., M2) phenotype in sensitized children and a more pro-inflammatory (i.e., M1) phenotype in non-sensitized children. Although both groups experienced viral exacerbations, annualized exacerbation rates prompting unscheduled healthcare were also higher in children without aeroallergen sensitization after enrollment. Systemic neutrophil responses to viral infection differ by allergic phenotype and may be less effective in preschool children without allergic inflammation. Further studies of neutrophil function are needed in this population, which often has less favorable therapeutic responses to inhaled corticosteroids and other therapies directed at T2-high inflammation.

Project description:Asthma and postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) are chronic lung diseases characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing. Mycoplasma, adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus infections can trigger both asthma and PIBO. These two diseases have common etiologic mechanisms that cause airway epithelial injury. They are often difficult to differentiate clinically in preschool children because both are exacerbated by viral infections and respond similarly to steroids and β2 agonists. PIBO, which is occasionally observed in children, is diagnosed through characteristic findings of air trapping on computed tomography or in biopsy samples of lung tissue. However, researchers have not clearly identified the specific blood markers that can distinguish these diseases or the differences in the mechanisms of development. We performed proteomic analysis of plasma to identify specific biomarkers that can be helpful in differentiating asthma from PIBO. This study discovered plasma biomarker candidates by measuring plasma proteome sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra (SWATH-MS) and included 30 healthy children, 18 with asthma and 15 with PIBO. was used to measure proteins in plasma samples. We identified and quantified 354 proteins across all 63 samples in the SWATH-MS analysis.

Project description:Epigenetics presents a dynamic approach to assess complex individual variation in obesity susceptibility. However, few studies have examined epigenetic patterns in preschool-age children, despite the relevance of this developmental stage to trajectories of weight gain, because of difficulties obtaining blood tissue samples. This proof of principle study examined DNA methylation in 92 saliva samples, comparing Latino preschool children of normal weight mothers (Body Mass Index [BMI] <27 kg/m2 and WC <90 cm) to children of obese mothers (BMI >30 kg/m2 and WC >100 cm). We hypothesized that salivary DNA methylation patterns in Latino preschool age children born of normal weight vs obese weight mothers would be: 1) associated with maternal BMI phenotype in continuous linear regression analysis; 2) saliva could demonstrate epigenetic variation across individuals; and 3) preschool child saliva would be differentially methylated when comparing those children with obese versus normal weight mothers. One hundred and nineteen CpG sites were significantly (p-value <1.56 X 10-5, p-value adjusted <.05) associated with maternal BMI in linear regression models controlling for child’s age, gender, and BMI. Of these 119 CpG sites, 41 were found within the transcription start site, 5’ UTR, 3’ UTR, or another regulatory region outside of the gene body. Saliva, a practical human tissue to obtain in naturalistic settings and in pediatric populations, was confirmed to be a viable medium for genome-wide epigenetic testing with maternal weight. Although not identical to results yielded from other human tissue types (i.e., cord blood samples), saliva findings indicate potential epigenetic differences in Latino preschool children at risk for pediatric obesity.

Antropometry was measured objectively according to a standardized protocol.Saliva from preschool Latino children at risk for obesity (BMI>50% < 95% participating in WIC/SNAP programs) was collected using the Oragene DNA saliva kit following a strict data collection protocol. DNA extraction was performed as per DNA Genotek's recommendations using the PrepIT L2P reagent. Extracted DNA was stored in individually barcoded cryovials at â80 degrees Fahrenheit. For children, saliva was obtained using the âbaby brushâ approach, in which small sponges attached to plastic handles are inserted between cheek and gumline to absorb saliva .Arrays were processed using standard protocol [34], with 3 samples randomly selected to serve as duplicates and 1 sample run with HapMap DNA to test functionality of reagents. Duplicates were measured for high technique consistency with Pearson correlation coefficient (>.99). Methylation data were quality controlled using Illumina GenomeStudio (V2011.1), Methylation module (V1.9.0). Samples with lower than 98% call rate (i.e. <485,000 probes) were excluded. Any non-specific cross-reacting probes, probes carrying common SNPs (MAF >1%), or any probes with p-values greater than 0.05 for more than 20% of the sample were sequentially excluded. Validation via pyrosequencing was conducted.

Project description:Background Impaired interferon response and allergic sensitisation may contribute to virus induced wheeze and asthma development in young children. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) play a key role in antiviral immunity as critical producers of type I interferons (IFN-I). pDC also express the high affinity IgE receptor (FcRI) through which IFN-I production may be negatively regulated. If antiviral function of pDC is associated with recurrent episodes of wheeze in young children is not well understood. This study aimed to evaluate the phenotype and function of circulating pDC in children with a longitudinally defined wheezing phenotype. Methods We performed multiparameter flow cytometry on peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 38 children presenting to the emergency department with an acute episode of respiratory wheeze and 19 controls. RNA sequencing on isolated pDC from the same individuals was also performed. For each subject, their longitudinal exacerbation phenotype was determined using the Western Australia public hospital database. Results We observed a significant depletion of circulating pDC in young children with a persistent phenotype of wheeze. The same individuals also displayed upregulation of the IgE receptor (FcRI) on their pDC. Based on transcriptomic analysis, pDC from these individuals did not mount a robust systemic antiviral response as observed in children who displayed a non-recurrent wheezing phenotype. Conclusion Our data suggests that circulating pDC phenotype and function are altered in young children with a persistent longitudinal exacerbation phenotype. Expression of FcRI is increased and their function as major IFN producers is impaired during acute exacerbations of wheeze.
