Project description:In this study we investigated whether there exists a genomic signature that can accurately predict the course of a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in hospitalized young infants. We used early blood microarray transcriptome profiles from 39 infants that were followed until recovery and of which the level of disease severity was determined retrospectively. Applying support vector machine learning on age by sex standardized transcriptomic data, an 84 gene signature was identified that discriminated hospitalized infants with eventually less severe RSV infection from infants that suffered from most severe RSV disease.

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe disease mostly in infants; however, mechanisms of age association remain elusive. Here, employing human bronchial epithelium models generated from tracheal aspirate-derived basal stem cells of neonates and adults, we investigate whether age regulates RSV-epithelium interaction to determine disease severity. We show that following RSV infection, only neonatal epithelium model exhibits cytopathy and mucus hyperplasia, and neonatal epithelium has more robust viral spread and inflammatory responses than adult epithelium. Mechanistically, RSV-infected neonatal ciliated cells display age-related impairment of STAT3 activation, rendering susceptibility to apoptosis, which facilitates viral spread. In contrast, SARS-CoV-2 infection of ciliated cells has no effect on STAT3 activation and is not affected by age. Taken together, our findings identify an age-related and RSV-specific interaction with neonatal bronchial epithelium that critically contributes to severity of infection, and STAT3 activation offers a potential strategy to battle severe RSV disease in infants.

Project description:Background: There is limited data on how different RSV genotypes and associated viral loads influence disease phenotypes. We characterized the genetic variability of RSV strains during five non-consecutive respiratory seasons, and evaluated the role of RSV subtypes, genotypes and viral loads on clinical disease severity. Methods: Healthy infants hospitalized with RSV bronchiolitis were prospectively enrolled and nasopharyngeal samples obtained within 24h of hospitalization for RSV load quantitation by PCR, typing and genotyping. Parameters of disease severity were assessed, and multivariate models constructed to identify virologic and clinical factors predictive of clinical outcomes. Results: From March 2004 to April 2011, we enrolled 253 patients (56.5 % males; median age 2.1 (1.1-4.0) months). RSV A infections predominated over RSV B (69% vs. 31%; p<0.001) and showed greater genotype variability. The most common genotypes were RSV A/GA2, A/GA5 and RSV B/BA. Infants infected with RSV GA5 had higher viral loads compared with GA2 or BA infection (p<0.01), independent of duration of symptoms. After adjusting for other covariates, RSV A/GA5 infections were associated with longer hospital stay. Conclusions: RSV A infections were more frequent than RSV B infections and displayed greater genetic variability. Infections with GA5 were independently associated with clinical disease severity.

Project description:Rationale: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections and hospitalizations in infants worldwide. Known risk factors, however, incompletely explain the variability of RSV disease severity among children. We postulate that severity of RSV infection is influenced in part by modulation of the host immune response by the local microbial ecosystem at the time of infection. Objectives: To define whether different nasopharyngeal microbiota profiles are associated with distinct host transcriptome profiles and severity in children with RSV infection. Methods: We analyzed the nasopharyngeal microbiota profiles of young children with mild and severe RSV disease and healthy matched controls by 16S-rRNA sequencing. In parallel, we analyzed whole blood gene expression profiles to study the relationship between microbial community composition, the RSV-induced host transcriptional response and clinical disease severity. Measurements and Main results: We identified five nasopharyngeal microbiota profiles characterized by enrichment of H. influenzae, Streptococcus, Corynebacterium, Moraxella or S. aureus. RSV infection and RSV hospitalization were positively associated with H. influenzae and Streptococcus, and negatively associated with S. aureus abundance, independent of age. The host response to RSV was defined by overexpression of interferon-related genes, and this was independent of the microbiota composition. On the other hand, transcriptome profiles of RSV infected children with H. influenzae and Streptococcus-dominated microbiota were characterized by greater overexpression of genes linked to toll-like receptor-signaling and neutrophil activation and were more frequently hospitalized Conclusions: Our data suggest an immunomodulatory role for the resident nasopharyngeal microbial community early in RSV infection, potentially affecting RSV disease severity.

Project description:While the majority of infants infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) exhibit mild or no symptoms, approximately 3 million children under the age of five are hospitalized every year due to complications from RSV. This research sought to explore the biological processes and related biomarkers responsible for the varied manifestations of RSV disease in young infants. The goal is to pave the way for a more precise categorization of RSV-infected infants based on their medical requirements. Whole blood samples are collected from infant case-control cohort study, the RESCEU case-control cohort is a multinational, multicenter, observational study (clinical trial registration number: NCT03756766). Infants < 12 months old with RSV disease were recruited from the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU) in The Netherlands, Hospital Clínico Universitario de Santiago (SERGAS) in Spain, Imperial College (IMPERIAL) National Health Service Trust (NHS) and Oxford University Hospital NHS Trust (OXFORD) in the United Kingdom during the RSV seasons 2017-2018, 2018-2019, and 2019-2020. Healthy controls without underlying comorbidities were recruited outside of the RSV season. Eligibility criteria included hospitalization for less than 48 hours at enrolment or within 96 hours of disease onset, no previous receipt of medications to treat RSV infection, no prior exposure to an investigational RSV vaccine or medication, no previous receipt of immunoglobulins or monoclonal antibodies, and had not used montelukast or oral steroids within seven days before enrolment. Infants with co-morbidities were not evaluated in the manuscript. RSV was detected using RSV point-of-care test (POCT) by either a rapid antigen detection test (Alere I) (Alere Inc, Waltham, Massachusetts) or rapid RSV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test at the hospital setting, or a RSV PCR test at the laboratory. Convalescence samples were collected 7 ±1 weeks after a positive RSV diagnostic test result. We used microarray to assist us to identify biomarkers for severe RSV disease.

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) selectively targets ciliated cells in human bronchial epithelium and can cause bronchiolitis and pneumonia mostly in infants. To identify molecular targets of intervention during RSV infection in infants, we investigate how age regulates RSV interaction with the bronchial epithelium barrier. Employing precision-cut lung slices and air-liquid interface cultures generated from infant and adult human donors, we found robust RSV virus spread and extensive apoptotic cell death only in infant bronchial epithelium. In contrast, adult bronchial epithelium showed insignificant barrier damage and limited RSV infection. Single nuclear RNA-sequencing revealed age-related insufficiency of an anti-apoptotic STAT3 activation response to RSV infection in infant ciliated cells, which was exploited to facilitate virus spread via the extruded apoptotic ciliated cells carrying RSV. Activation of STAT3 and blockade of apoptosis rendered protection against severe RSV infection in infant bronchial epithelium. Lastly, apoptotic inhibitor treatment of a neonatal mouse model of RSV infection ameliorated infection and inflammation in the lung. Taken together, our findings identify a STAT3-mediated anti-apoptosis pathway as a target to battle severe RSV disease in infants.

Project description:The aim of this investigation was two-fold: i) to describe miRNAs involved in the immune response to Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in a clinical setting in order to inform further research of immune system regulation by miRNAs in RSV or other infections; ii) to discover differences in miRNA expression between disease severity groups. We have therefore profiled miRNA in cytology brushings of the nasal mucosa in infants with RSV disease, comparing them to healthy infants. miRNA microarray identified 26 differentially regulated miRNA which were subsequently analyzed by RT-qPCR.

Project description:Respiratory viral infections follow an unpredictable clinical course in young children ranging from a common cold to respiratory failure. The transition from mild to severe disease occurs rapidly and is difficult to predict. The pathophysiology underlying disease severity has remained elusive. There is an urgent need to better understand the immune response in this disease to come up with biomarkers that may aid clinical decision making. In a prospective study, flow cytometric and genome-wide gene expression analyses were performed on blood samples of 26 children with a diagnosis of severe, moderate or mild Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection. Differentially expressed genes were validated using Q-PCR in a second cohort of 80 children during three consecutive winter seasons. FACS analyses were also performed in the second cohort and on recovery samples of severe cases in the first cohort. Severe RSV infection was associated with a transient but marked decrease in CD4+ T, CD8+ T, and NK cells in peripheral blood. Gene expression analyses in both cohorts identified Olfactomedin4 (OLFM4) as a fully discriminative marker between children with mild and severe RSV infection, giving a PAM cross-validation error of 0%. Patients with an OLFM4 gene expression level above -7.5 were 6 times more likely to develop severe disease, after correction for age at hospitalization and gestational age. In conclusion, by combining genome-wide expression profiling of blood cell subsets with clinically well-annotated samples, OLFM4 was identified as a biomarker for severity of pediatric RSV infection. Samples were taken of 26 patients with acute RSV infections, divided into mild (n=9), moderate (n=9) and severe (n=8) disease. From moderate and severe diseased patients recovery samples were obtained as well.
