Project description:Severe asthma exacerbations in children requiring hospitalisation are typically associated with viral infection, and occur almost exclusively amongst atopics, but the significance of these comorbidities is unknown. We hypothesised that underlying interactions between immunoinflammatory pathways related to responses to aeroallergen and virus are involved, and that evidence of these interactions is detectable in circulating cells during exacerbations. To address this hypothesis we used a genomics-based approach involving profiling of PBMC subpopulations collected during acute exacerbation versus convalescence by microarray and flow cytometry.

Project description:Global patterns of gene expression was profiled in nasal lavage samples obtained from asthmatic children during an acute Picornavirus-induced exacerbation and 7-14 days later. Gene coexpression network analysis and prior knowledge was employed to reconstruct the wiring diagram of the underlying gene networks. The study design consisted of paired samples obtained during the acute exacerbation and 7-14 days later from 16 asthmatic children.

Project description:Asthma exacerbations in children are associated with respiratory viral infection and atopy, resulting in systemic immune activation and infiltration of immune cells into the airways. The gene networks driving the immune activation and subsequent migration of immune cells into the airways remains incompletely understood. Cellular and molecular profiling of PBMC was employed on paired samples obtained from atopic asthmatic children (n = 19) during acute virus-associated exacerbations and later during convalescence. Systems level analyses were employed to identify coexpression networks and infer the drivers of these networks, and validation was subsequently obtained via independent samples from asthmatic children. During exacerbations, PBMC exhibited significant changes in immune cell abundance and upregulation of complex interlinked networks of coexpressed genes. These were associated with priming of innate immunity, inflammatory and remodelling functions. We identified activation signatures downstream of bacterial LPS, glucocorticoids and TGFB1. We also confirmed that LPS binding protein was upregulated at the protein-level in plasma. Multiple gene networks known to be involved positively or negatively in asthma pathogenesis, are upregulated in circulating PBMC during acute exacerbations, supporting the hypothesis that systemic pre-programming of potentially pathogenic as well as protective functions of circulating immune cells preceeds migration into the airways. Enhanced sensitivity to LPS is likely to modulate the severity of acute asthma exacerbations through exposure to environmental LPS.

Project description:Our study aimed to better understand the immune responses during an acute asthma exacerbation in children. Gene expression profiles were examined by RNA-sequencing in blood samples. Samples were collected on average 2.5 day after systemic corticosteroid treatment. Our findings show that pro-inflammatory genes and pathways related to innate responses and signaling remained increased in children hospitalized for acute asthma exacerbation. Genes and pathways involved in adaptive immune respones, particularly T lymphocyte activation, were decreased in children hospitalized for acute asthma exacerbation. These studies suggest that innate immune responses may remain activated following hospitalization for asthma exacerbation.

Project description:Asthma is a very frequent airway disease that affects 6 to 20% of the population. Severe asthma, represents 3 to 5% of all asthmatic patients and is histologically characterized by an increased bronchial smooth muscle (BSM) mass and clinically by viral exacerbations. Functionally, BSM remodeling had a poor prognostic value in asthma, since higher BSM mass was associated with lower lung function and increased exacerbation rate. However, the role of BSM as a potential actor of asthma exacerbation has only been sparsely suggested. Thus, we hypothesis that asthmatic BSM cell metabolism is modified compare to that of non-asthmatic and that could be a potential target to reduce asthmatic BSM cell proliferation and remodeling in asthma.

Project description:Background: A subset of infants are hyper-susceptible to severe/acute viral bronchiolitis (AVB), for reasons unknown. Purpose: To characterise the cellular/molecular mechanisms underlying infant AVB in circulating cells/local airways tissues. Methods: PBMC and nasal mucosal scrapings (NMS) were obtained from Infants (<18mths) and children (1.5-5yrs) during AVB and post-convalescence. Immune response patterns were profiled by multiplex analysis of plasma cytokines, flow cytometry, and transcriptomics (RNA-Seq). Molecular profiling of group-level data utilised a combination of upstream regulator and coexpression network analysis, followed by individual subject-level data analysis employing personalised N-of-1-pathways methodology. Results: Group-level analyses demonstrated that infant PBMC responses were dominated by monocyte-associated hyper-upregulated type I interferon signalling/pro-inflammatory pathways (drivers: TNF, IL6, TREM1, IL1B), versus a combination of inflammation (PTGER2, IL6) plus growth/repair/remodelling pathways (ERBB2, TGFB1, AREG, HGF) coupled with Th2 and NK-cell signalling in children. Age-related differences were not attributable to differential steroid usage or variations in underlying viral pathogens. Nasal mucosal responses were comparable qualitatively in infants/children, dominated by interferon types I-III, but the magnitude of upregulation was higher in infants (range 6-48-fold) than children (5-17-fold). N-of-1-pathways analysis confirmed differential upregulation of innate immunity in infants and NK cell networks in children, and additionally demonstrated covert AVB response sub-phenotypes that were independent of chronological age. Conclusions: Dysregulated expression of interferon-dependent pathways following respiratory viral infections is a defining immunophenotypic feature of AVB-susceptible infants and a subset of children. Susceptible subjects appear to represent a discrete subgroup who cluster based on (slow) kinetics of postnatal maturation of innate immune competence.
