Objective:
The overarching aims of the UC Davis Center for Children’s Environmental Health are:
(1) Leverage our existing studies and biobanks for specimens to expand our research and capitalize upon the Center’s research findings to date. We will take advantage of our numerous resources from the CHARGE study, as well as the epidemiological and clinical studies involving prospective parents, pregnant women, and children from the ongoing MARBLES study — both of which grew out of previous years of CCEH funding.
(2) Build upon our novel findings of calcium dysregulation in cultured neurons and immune cells in the context of understanding the epigenetic effects and ramifications of toxicant exposure on gene pathways and immune function.
(3) Develop and apply new biomarkers of autism risk, through analysis of gestational immune dysfunction, genetic susceptibility, and environmental exposures, to best characterize the potential health effects at various life stages and predict longer-term clinical and behavioral consequences.
(4) Train new investigators, including pre- and post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty, to address emerging issues in children’s environmental health with cross-cutting technologies and integrated multidisciplinary approach.
(5) Expand the successful Community Outreach and Translation Core to continue the active engagement of our ASD families, the California Department of Health Services, and the broader cross-cultural community, in both the research process and the translation and application of our research findings.
Progress Summary:
Project 1 (Epidemiology and Environment). Analyses from the CHARGE study demonstrated that exposures to elevated ozone during gestation in combination with a high burden of DNA duplications was associated with an especially strong odds ratio for ASD vs. typical development. In general, many combinations of air pollutant exposures with CNV metrics showed relationships consistent with multiplicative and/or additive interactions.
In preliminary data on a subset of the MARBLES cohort study participants, second and third trimester urinary metabolites of pyrethroid insecticides were associated with elevated risk for developmental delay by 36 months of age. The number of cases with ASD in this preliminary dataset was too small for a sufficiently powered analysis.
Among 128 ASD CHARGE children for whom RNAseq analyses were completed, 32 genes were differentially expressed in exposed vs. unexposed (unadjusted p<0.001; Bonferroni-adjusted p<0.10). All but one was up-regulated in the pesticide-exposed group, and one quarter were found in annotated toxico- and pharmaco-genomic databases to be associated with organophosphate (OP) pesticides. Of the top 10, 2 have been associated with thyroid dyshormonogenesis and 2 with Parkinson’s Disease. In contrast, among 65 TD controls, only 8 differed significantly by pesticide exposure or associated with other pesticides in annotated databases. Differential patterns in cases vs. controls for prenatal pesticide-associated gene expression suggest ASD-relevant gene-environment interactions. As few organophosphates are still present in household products in the United States, common toxicologic mechanisms shared by OPs and pyrethroids are relevant. Several modes of interaction, including pesticide-induced epigenetic changes on a pathway of brain development and a reverse causation where neurodevelopmental susceptibility influences sensitivity to pesticide activity, must be considered.
Project 2 (Perinatal Epigenetic Signatures of Environmental Exposures). The major activities from Dr. LaSalle’s laboratory have been the identification and DNA isolation from cord blood samples from MARBLES families and the development of sequencing library methodology for the MethylC-seq analyses of Aim 1. We examined transcriptional regulation of the FOXP3 locus by DNA methylation. An upstream promoter or enhancer of FOXP3 was identified and both FOXP3 promoter methylation and transcription were found to be sensitive to the DNA methylation inhibitor 5 Aza-C.
Dr. Schmidt has been cleaning existing food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) nutrient data, as well as preparing a new batch of FFQs to ship to NutritionQuest to analyze for MARBLES. She also has been cleaning existing data on serum folate, vitamin B12, and choline measurements, and started to run descriptive analyses in preparation for operationalizing these variables as exposures of interest. They then will be examined in relation to CNV burden, total % methylation, and repetitive % methylation. Prenatal vitamin use in the first month of pregnancy was shown to have a 4-fold protective effect in MARBLES. Further, global DNA methylation measured by LINE-1 pyrosequencing positively correlated with folic acid levels in pregnancy month 1.
Project 3 (Immune Environment Interactions and Neurodevelopment). Maternal sample profiles from Core C currently are under analysis by Core C and Project 1. We have collected samples for analysis and now are analyzing the samples for their cytokine/chemokine profiles. We have 50% of the samples completed. We have determined the primers needed for RT-PCR of the samples for mTOR signaling pathway mRNA determination to be ready for Year 3. We have received data from the analysis of samples for PBDE from Core C and are using these data in preparation of two manuscripts. We have analyzed cytokine/chemokine levels in the plasma and activated immune cells from children in CHARGE. One paper from these data has just been published (Akintunde ME, Rose M, Krakowiak P, Heuer L, Ashwood P, Hansen R, Hertz-Picciotto I, Van de Water. J. Neuroimmunol. 2015 Sep 15;286:33-41. doi: 10.1016/j.jneuroim.2015.07.003) and the second paper is in preparation. With Project 4, we are refining the culture conditions for neural crest stem cells for use in future studies, and have brought in LUHMES neuronal cell line for cytokine and exposure studies. Working with Project 1, we have analyzed data from Core C on PBDE levels as they correlate with immune function in children from the CHARGE study. These findings are very exciting and currently in preparation for publication.
Total body burden for PBDEs in a pediatric population. Our first analysis was done in the typically developing pediatric population that was part of the larger CHARGE study. We examined the effect of sex on body burden of PBDEs, PCBs, and how this relates to immune function in typically developing male and female controls. Working with Core C, we determined no significant difference in total lipid levels in the plasma between all males and females within this study was observed. We did note, however, that there was a significant increase in PCB in females when compared to males.
For the total pediatric population, we examined the immune response following stimulation of the innate immune system with LPS. There were no significant differences between males and females at baseline or following LPS stimulation alone. However, we found that following ex vivo exposure of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to BDE-49, exposure to 50 nM of BDE-49 alone decreased production of the Th2 cytokine IL-13. When peripheral blood cells are pre-incubated with BDE-49, then challenged with LPS to activate innate immune cells, there was a marked difference between the boys and girls in the effects of BDE on the innate immune response. There was a great deal more variability in the immune response of the male subjects compared to the females following BDE-49 exposure. Although we are aware that the number of female subjects is very small (these are TD children from CHARGE enrolled at a 4:1 male:female ratio), the data are compelling and provide support for a closer examination of the differences between male and female children in their response to environmental toxicants.
Project 4 (Calcium Signaling Defects in Autism). We have successfully isolated isogenic pairs of fibroblasts obtained from two unrelated full mutation individuals (225 and 320 CGG repeats), as well as two unrelated individuals in the high premutation range (160 and 170 CGG repeats). This has required extensive subcloning of fibroblasts to separate and identify isogenic populations from the same (mosaic) individual by testing for which allele, normal or expanded, remains active. From isogenic fibroblasts, we dedifferentiated iPSCs using the four-factor method described in the original proposal. iPSCs derived by this method were tested for stem cell markers and pushed to neuronal lineage as we previously reported for the mid-premutation (94 CGG repeats) study published in 2012 (Cao, et al., 2012). Neuronal precursor lines have been expanded and cryopreserved (Pessah Lab).
We have continued our molecular and cellular investigations of etiological causes responsible for the early onset abnormalities in neuronal growth and synaptic function that we have identified precede degeneration of the neuronal network. In this regard, the Pessah lab has identified significant new information about involvement of the µ-calpain-Cdk5-ATM signaling pathway that could account for the sequelae of early developmental and later neurodegenerative phases of FMR1-related disorders. These studies have initially focused on the premutation mouse model but have recently expanded to our human iPSC-derived models.
The Lein lab has developed and validated a high content imaging approach for quantifying dendritic morphology and the ratio of excitatory to inhibitory synapses in primary neuronal cell cultures. This will enable a higher, more rapid throughput of screening environmental factors for modulation of these endpoints of neuronal connectivity. The Lein lab also has made progress in characterizing the effects of ortho-substituted PCBs on the mTOR signaling pathway in primary neuronal cell culture derived from rodent models. In parallel with work proceeding in the Pessah lab on human iPSC-derived models, the Lein lab is developing two human neuronal cell culture models to be used for screening effects of cytokines identified in Project 3 on neuronal differentiation and maturation. These two cell models include the LUHMES neuronal cell line and neurons derived from neural crest stem cells isolated from human hair follicles.
Results:
1) Successfully produced five isogenic pairs of isogenic iPSC-derived neuronal precursor cells from human patients in the following ranges: one patient in the mid-premutation (94 CGG repeats), two patients in the high-premutation (170 CGG repeats), and two patients in the full mutation (>200 CGG repeats) range (patients with Fragile X Syndrome). Each of these five lines is paired with its own isogenic line with the FMR1 gene in the normal range (30-40 CGG repeats). The Pessah lab has initiated characterization of these lines and their responses to environmental chemicals of interest.
2) PCB 95 and chlorpyrifos oxon (CPFO) directly target RyR channels with sub- to low-nanomolar potency, but with differing patterns of activity. We have completed concentration-effect curves comparing how PCB 95 and CPFO alter the gating kinetics of reconstituted ryanodine receptor Ca2+ channels under voltage clamp. Both behave as highly potent drugs able to have demonstrable activating influences with thresholds <1 nM and “remarkable” in the 1-100 nM range. However, PCB 95 produces long-lived stabilization of the channel full-open state over the life of the experiment; CPFO produces a unique biphasic action on the channel, first increasing the frequency of gating transitions by >5-fold followed by a collapse of channel activity towards the original baseline activity. The Pessah lab has reported transgenerational effects of environmental PCB exposure to killifish influences long-term expression of RYR-regulated signaling pathways (Fritsch, et al., 2014) and additional evidence of the additivity of PCBs towards RyR activity in salmon muscle (Fritsch and Pessah, 2014). The Pessah lab is completing two additional manuscripts, one focused on PCB x gene interactions, the second on the interaction of CPF and CPFO with the RyR complex.
3) FMR1 premutation brain and neurons have abnormal resting Ca2+, which is associated with both chronic activation of the µ-calpain-p35/p25-Cdk5-ATM pathway – the pathway that regulates expression and phosphorylation of excitatory synaptic proteins – and nuclear DNA Damage Response (DDR). The initial results were presented at the Keystone Symposium on Neurodevelopmental Disorders on March 19, 2015, and a review of the subject has been published (Berman, et al., 2014).
4) The Lein lab has completed an initial study of one of three maternal autism risk antibodies: collapsin response mediator protein 1 (CRMP1). CRMP1 is known to play an important role in neurodevelopment via regulation of axonal guidance and dendritic outgrowth. Axonal and dendritic morphologies are critical determinants of neuronal connectivity, and altered neuronal connectivity is thought to lie at the core of ASD pathogenesis. The Lein lab, in collaboration with the Van de Water lab (Project 3), tested the hypothesis that maternal autoantibodies against CRMP1 (aCRMP1-IgG) contribute to ASD pathogenesis by directly interfering with CRMP1 to alter axonal and/or dendritic growth. Using an in vitro model of primary rat hippocampal and cortical neurons, we have shown that aCRMP1-IgG recognizes CRMP1 in developing hippocampal and cortical neurons, and antibody binding to CRIMP1 does not cause overt cellular toxicity. Preliminary results suggest that exposure of hippocampal neurons to aCRMP1-IgG has no effect on axonal or dendritic length or signaling in these cells.
5) The Lein lab has completed an assessment on the ontogeny of biochemical, morphological and functional parameters of synaptogenesis in primary cultures of rat hippocampal and cortical neurons (Harrill, et al., 2015). Differences and similarities in the ontogeny of synaptogenesis exist between hippocampal and cortical neurons, depending on the biological level examined. Assessment of synaptophysin protein levels by ELISA showed a general increase in synapse formation in both cell types with increasing time in culture, while high-content imaging was able to delineate cell type-dependent differences in formation of excitatory versus inhibitory synapses. The functional significance of differences in the balance of excitatory to inhibitory synapses was confirmed by the assessment of network activity using microelectrode arrays. These results suggest that high-content imaging and microelectrode arrays provide complementary approaches for quantitative assessment of synaptogenesis, which should provide a robust readout of toxicologic and pharmacologic effects on this critical neurodevelopmental event.
Community Outreach and Translation Core. The COTC hosted a joint facilitated meeting for strategic planning in community engagement at the MIND Institute. Participating organizations included the MIND Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center and the Center of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities. We identified several new community-based organizations/audiences for engaging in CCEH outreach and translation activities. These publicly funded preschools and home visiting programs target low resource, high-risk populations.
The COTC partnered with the Center of Excellence in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities for the annual Summer Institute on Neurodevelopmental Disorders. The event was held at the UC Davis Conference Center on August 8. The COTC hosted a session on environmental contributors to neurodevelopmental disorders. The invited speaker was Elise Miller of the Collaborative on Health and the Environment. All talks from the event, including Ms. Miller’s, were video recorded and now are publicly available on the MIND Institute website (http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/mindinstitute/videos/video_summerinstitute.html).
On May 19, Robin Hansen and Melissa Rose gave an invited talk for the Early Start Partners Institute, a statewide association of early intervention service providers, family support personnel and managers. They will be giving the same talk on September 27 to the California Infant Development Association’s annual meeting.
Resources and Materials: The COTC developed a comprehensive webpage within the MIND/CCEH website that includes a wide range of resources on children’s environmental health for different audiences. A new brochure on environmental risks to neurodevelopment has been prepared and will be printed soon. We also are working on a Spanish language resource to inform and educate women in the Latino community about the benefits of preconceptional and early prenatal folic acid supplementation. This resource will highlight findings from Center research showing a reduced risk for autism in offspring of women who supplement folic acid in these critical time periods of early brain development. The COTC supports staff in the MIND Institute Resource Center. These staff members are responsible for building and maintaining an area of the Resource Center dedicated to topics in children’s environmental health and environmental risks to neurodevelopment.
Tracking: The COTC tracks all CCEH dissemination activities. Working with the Health System Public Affairs office, the COTC coordinates press releases, and obtains media reports containing quantitative data on CCEH contributions to newspaper, radio, and television coverage.
Analytical Core. Within the last year, Core C developed and validated a number of analytical methods on the instrumentation that were acquired and installed in Years 1 and 2. In particular, we moved the validated GC/MS/MS method for the quantification for PBDEs and PCBs to the Bruker TSQ SCION instrument, and finalized the validation of an LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of OH-PBDEs and OH-PCBs on the EVOQ LC/MS. All methods are able to utilize low-volume plasma samples while reaching low LOQs and LODs. In Years 1 and 2, we analyzed 215 + 269 = 484 maternal plasma samples (from MARBLES) from high-risk mothers for both prototype 13 PBDE and 20 PCB congeners and their hydroxylated metabolites. During this project period, we focused on lipid methodologies for accurate correction of PBDE and PCB congeners on a ng/g lipid basis. Several methods and laboratories were compared side-by-side for the direct determination of total triglyceride and total cholesterol. We subsequently evaluated currently available mathematical formulas to estimate total plasma lipids from total triglyceride and total cholesterol. Careful data analysis, comparison, and re-analysis of matched sample vials revealed that the initial set of 215 samples was contaminated with PCBs and PBDEs. Investigation revealed that contamination occurred during sample extraction, which was performed previously in an older laboratory on campus. Subsequently, another set of 269 plasma was extracted in a clean laboratory environment and analyzed for PBDE (BDE-17, 28, 47, 49, 52, 66, 85, 95, 99, 100, 153, 154, 183) and PCB (PCB-11, 52, 77, 84, 91, 95, 101, 118, 131, 132, 135, 136, 138, 149, 153, 174, 175, 176, 180, 196) congeners. Final data processing for determination of quantitative results is completed and manuscript preparation is underway. In this review period, we also compared and validated multiple sample preparation methods for the extraction and purification of PBDE /PCB congeners in milk samples using bovine milk as a matrix for method optimization. In order to reach the necessary LODs and LOQs, a volume of 5 ml of milk sample was extracted using a modified QuEChERS method, purified by gel permeation chromatography and quantified using gas chromatography-triple quadruple mass spectrometry. Most stored breast milk samples collected throughout the studies are short of the 5 ml sample volume required for analysis. We plan to evaluate method modifications to reduce the required milk volume for extraction.
The Analytical Core also evaluated various enzyme assays for the direct determinations of total triglyceride and total cholesterol. We subsequently evaluated different available algorithms to estimate total plasma lipids from total triglyceride and total cholesterol.
Future Activities:
Individual component plans are described in the sections above and there are no plans that deviate from the activities in the original proposal. As a whole, the Center plans to hold a meeting of the Scientific Advisory Committee in winter 2016. Furthermore, several members from our Center are participating in CEHC workgroups and will continue to do so in the subsequent reporting period.
