Project description:The prevalence of immune-mediated diseases such as allergies and autoimmune diseases is on the rise in the developed world. Microbial exposure is known to modulate the risk for these diseases. In order to explore differences in the gene expression patterns induced in utero in infants born in contrasting standards of living and hygiene, we collected umbilical cord blood RNA samples from full-term newborn infants born with normal vaginal delivery in Finland (modern society), Estonia (rapidly developing society) and the Republic of Karelia, Russia (poor economical conditions). Transcriptomic profiles were analyzed using whole genome microarrays including gender, gestational age, birth month and HLA allele genotype as confounding variables in the analysis. The data revealed that the whole blood transcriptome of Finnish and Estonian neonates differ from their Karelian counterparts. Samples from Karelian infants had an increase in transcripts associated with LPS induction and bacterial sepsis observed in 1-year-old infants in earlier studies. The results suggest exposure to toll like receptor (TLR) ligands and a more matured immune response in infants born in Petrozavodsk compared to the Finnish and Estonian infants. These results further support the concept of a conspicuous plasticity in the developing immune system: the environmental factors that play a role in the susceptibility/protection towards immune-mediated diseases begin to shape the neonatal immunity already in utero and direct the maturation of both the adaptive and the innate immune responses in accordance with the surrounding microbial milieu. Umbilical cord blood was drawn into Tempus Blood RNA tubes (Applied Biosystems) from children born between January and May 2010 at the maternity unit of Jorvi hospital (Espoo, Finland; n=48), maternity units of Tartu and PM-CM-5lva (Estonia; n=25), or two maternity departments in Petrozavodsk (capital of the Republic of Karelia, Russian Federation; n=40) according to the manufacturerM-BM-4s protocol and then stored in M-bM-^HM-^R70 M-BM-0C until analyzed. All newborn infants were full-term (>36 gestational weeks) and born vaginally. 113 cord blood RNA samples were analyzed with Affymetrix U219 gene array. Gender, pregnancy week, month of birth and HLA risk class were included as confounding factors in the analysis model.

These 15 rehybridized samples were only utilized in the batch correction and excluded from any further analysis steps. Umbilical cord blood was drawn into Tempus Blood RNA tubes (Applied Biosystems) from children born at the maternity unit of Jorvi hospital (Espoo, Finland; n=4), maternity units of Tartu and PM-CM-5lva (Estonia; n=4), or two maternity departments in Petrozavodsk (capital of the Republic of Karelia, Russian Federation; n=7) according to the manufacturerM-BM-4s protocol and then stored in -70 M-BM-0C until analyzed.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are potent negative regulators of immune responses at many pathological conditions. It is widely accepted that these cells are not present under steady state condition. Here, we report that MDSC with highly potent ability to suppress T cells accumulate during first two weeks of life in mice. MDSC suppressive activity in neonates was triggered by lactoferrin, a component of milk, and mediated by nitric oxide and up-regulation of PGE2 regulated by S100A9/A8 proteins. Newborn MDSC had transcriptome similar to that of tumor MDSC. However, they had strong up-regulation of antimicrobial gene network. This was associated with enhanced antimicrobial activity of these cells. MDSC played a critical role in control of experimental necrotizing enterocolitis in newborn mice. In humans, MDSC in cord blood of low-weight preterm infants prone to the development of NEC had significantly lower suppressive activity than the cells from cord blood of infants with normal weight. Thus, transitory presence of MDSC after birth is critical for the maintenance of immune homeostasis.

Project description:To investigate early blood biomarkers of BPD development, RNA from cord blood cells or peripheral blood cells of premature infants was subjected to RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and data were analyzed with 9 covariates including gestational age (GA), sex, birth weight (BW), estimated CD4+T cell%, CD8+T cell%, B cell%, monocyte%, granulocyte%, and nucleated red blood cell (NRBC)%. The effect of prolonged oxygen (>14 days O2) treatment in newborn intensive care unit on blood cell transcriptome was determined among nonBPD preterm infants.

Project description:Neonatal health is dependent on early risk stratification, diagnosis, and timely management of many potentially devastating conditions. Preterm infants are at increased risk of prematurity-related complications, including: early-onset sepsis, chronic lung disease, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, and neurodevelopmental impairment.Many of these conditions are poorly predicted in real-time by clinical data, including currently available diagnostic testing. Thus, biomarkers have been sought to aid early and targeted treatment and prognosis for these conditions. Umbilical cord blood may represent a novel source of molecular signatures that provides a window into the state of the fetus at birth. Umbilical cord blood inflammatory markers have been studied as diagnostic indicators of early-onset sepsis. Specific cord blood cytokines have been studied as predictors or correlates of retinopathy of prematurity, atopic disease, infantile hemangioma, placental histopathology, and more. However, few of these cord blood biomarkers have been translated into diagnostic tools in clinical practice. Longitudinal profiling of postnatal proteomic changes has provided insights into the development of the immune system over the first weeks to months of life. While proteomic profiling of cord blood has demonstrated immunologic differences between preterm and term infants, prior research has lacked inclusion of preterm infants across the continuum of gestational age and consideration of key perinatal characteristics such as the route of delivery, preeclampsia, intraamniotic infection, and neonatal sepsis that are likely to affect protein expression. In this study, we have comprehensively characterized the cord blood proteome from infants born between 25 to 42 weeks using MS to provide a benchmark of normative cord blood proteomic profile and examine proteome differences across the developmental range of gestational ages.
