Project description:We procured PBMCs whole blood from five HC preterm infants and five preterm infants with BPD. PBMCs were extracted using a density gradient centrifugation method. Initially, 10ml of peripheral blood was mixed with an equal volume of physiological saline, then carefully layered onto Ficoll solution (T10124, from Shangbao Biotech Co., Ltd., Shanghai). After centrifugation at 2,000 rpm for 20 minutes, the cells stratified due to differences in density, with PBMCs positioned between the red blood cells and plasma. Subsequently, the intermediate layer containing PBMCs was gently collected, washed several times with physiological saline to remove residual medium and red blood cells, and finally, PBMCs were isolated and collected through centrifugation.

Project description:We conducted a prospective cohort study with independent Discovery and Validation cohorts, to formulate predictive biomarkers for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in extremely preterm infants. Tracheal aspirate samples were collected at birth from extremely preterm infants. Exosomes were extracted from tracheal aspirates and total RNA was extracted from these exosomes from individual samples. miRNA profiling for all ~ 800 miRNAs was conducted on each sample by nanostring platform. This study found that a distinct airway exosomal miRNA sigrature at birth (decreased miR 876-3p) predicts future development of severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in extremely preterm infants.

Project description:Preterm infants are highly susceptible to sustained lung inflammation, which may be triggered by exposure to multiple environmental cues such as supplemental oxygen (O2) and infections. The underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. The hypothesis of this study is that dysregulated macrophage activation is a key feature leading to inflammation-mediated development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants.
Cord blood samples of preterm infants (n=14) and term infants (n=19) as well as peripheral blood from healthy adults (n=17) were collected. Age-dependent differences in immune responses of monocyte-derived Mä from preterm infants were characterized and compared to term infants and adults after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure.

Project description:DNA methylation (DNAm) plays a determining role in neural cell fate and provides a molecular link between early life stress and life-course neuropsychiatric disease. Preterm birth is a profound environmental stressor that is closely associated with alterations in connectivity of neural systems and long-term neuropsychiatric impairment. The aims of this study were to examine the relationship between preterm birth and DNAm and to investigate factors that contribute to variance in DNAm. DNA was collected from preterm infants (birth < 32 weeks’ gestation) and healthy controls (birth > 37 weeks), and a genome-wide analysis of DNAm was performed; diffusion MRI (dMRI) data were acquired from the preterm group. The major fasciculi were segmented, and fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity and tract shape were calculated. Principal components analysis was used to investigate the contribution of MRI features and key clinical variables to variance in DNAm. Differentially methylated regions were found within 25 gene bodies and 61 promoters of protein-coding genes in preterm infants compared with controls; 10 of these are associated with neural development or function. Differences detected in the array were validated with pyrosequencing. Ninety-five percent of the variance in DNAm in preterm infants was explained by 23 principal components (PC); corticospinal tract shape associated with 6th PC, and gender and early nutritional exposure associated with the 7th PC. Preterm birth is associated with alterations in the methylome at sites that influence neural development and function. The differentially methylated regions identified provide several promising candidate genes for understanding the genetic/epigenetic basis of preterm brain injury.

Project description:Here, we investigated γδ T cells in a longitudinal cohort of preterm neonates during the first year of life. Our data reveal dynamic postnatal maturation patterns of γδ T cell subsets, which are largely age-dependent. We report on the expansion of fetal-derived γδ T cells in preterm neonates with sepsis. Single cell transcriptome analyses identified HLA-DRhigh and CD83+ γδ T cells in neonatal sepsis.

Project description:Preterm birth remains an important cause of abnormal neurodevelopment. While the majority of preterm infants are born moderate-late preterm (MLPT; 32-36 weeks), international and national recommendations on neurological surveillance in this population are lacking. We conducted an observational quantitative survey among Dutch and Canadian neonatal level I-III centres (June 2020-August 2021) to gain insight into local clinical practices on neurological surveillance in MLPT infants. All centres caring for MLPT infants designated one paediatrician/neonatologist to complete the survey. A total of 85 out of 174 (49%) qualifying neonatal centres completed the survey (60 level I-II and 25 level III centres). Admission of MLPT infants was based on infant-related criteria in 78/85 (92%) centres. Cranial ultrasonography to screen the infant's brain for abnormalities was routinely performed in 16/85 (19%) centres, while only on indication in 39/85 (46%). In 57/85 (67%) centres, neurological examination was performed at least once during admission. Of 85 centres, 51 (60%) followed the infants' development post-discharge, with follow-up duration ranging from 1-52 months of age. The survey showed a wide variety in neurological surveillance in MLPT infants among Dutch and Canadian neonatal centres. Given the risk for short-term morbidity and long-term neurodevelopmental disabilities, future studies are required to investigate best practices for in-hospital care and follow-up of MLPT infants.

Project description:<p>Synbiotics may modulate gut microbiota and prevent infections. In a randomized controlled trial (NCT01625273) infants weaned from breast milk were fed formula with prebiotics (fructo- and galactooligosaccharides) or the same prebiotic formula with <em>Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei</em> strain F19 (synbiotics) from 1 until 6 months of age. The objective was to examine synbiotic effects on gut microbiota maturation. Fecal samples collected at ages 1, 4, 6 and 12 months (324 samples for microbial and 197 samples for metabolic characterization) were analyzed. We demonstrate enrichment of Bifidobacterium and increases in antimicrobial metabolites derived from microbial fermentation of phenylalanine and pectins in the synbiotic group. The gut microbiota of infants with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) were depleted of Lactobacillales but enriched in Klebsiella species and associated antimicrobial resistance genes. These compositional and functional changes of the gut microbiota may be linked to the previously reported reduction of LRTI in the synbiotic group.</p>
