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; and
(5) Expand the successful Community Outreach and Translation Core to continue the active engagement of our ASD families, as well as the California Department of Health Services and the broader cross-cultural community in the research process, and the translation and application of our research findings.
Progress Summary:
Project 1 (Epidemiology and Environment)
To further investigate the copy number variation (CNV) burden variable, we are evaluating different scaling methods. We used different scaling methods on both the duplication and deletion CNV burden variables. Using a 2 standard deviation scale (dividing everything by twice the standard deviation) seemed to perform best. We also tested the approach of dichotomizing the variable by dividing into quartiles and taking the lowest 3 quartiles vs the highest quartile. This way we made the reference categories low CNV burden (bottom 3) and high nutrient for regression and odds ratio calculations. It did make the odds ratios more interpretable, but we saw slightly differing results from the two methods. The other main thing that we did was to separate the iron variable out by month, so we ran 13 different models for each of 3 types of CNV burden, one for each month starting 3 months before pregnancy until 1 month after pregnancy during the breastfeeding period. This was a recommendation because previously they had seen differences between the months. We also looked at just the correlations between CNV and nutrient amount to see if there is any underlying pattern there. The next step will be to look at gene specific burden. We especially want to focus on genes that we have found to be associated with folic acid, iron, prenatal vitamins, and metabolic condition.
PBDEs and early child development:
Laboratory issues including sizable changes in the LOQ’s have delayed the revision of our manuscript reporting PBDE levels in pregnant women from MARBLES. The reviewers were concerned about the small sample size. Because more time has passed, we are able to increase the sample size with children who have now completed the protocol and have their final diagnosis. Over 40 children have been diagnosed with ASD from over 200 who have completed the protocol. We are now sending the maternal samples for the additional children to another lab, this one at the State of California, where Drs. Petreas and Park will conduct the PBDE determinations on the new batch, along with a subset of 20 from the previously analyzed samples.
Pyrethroid pesticides and early child development:
In the MARBLES cohort study, we recently received the final batch of results from Emory University on pyrethroid metabolites in maternal urine from the second and third trimester. A paper is being drafted examining variability over the course of pregnancy using an average of 9-10 individual samples from 10 women. Additionally, analyses are being conducted on cognitive scores from 6 to 36 months and on final 36-month diagnoses, adjusting for confounders, multiple measurements per mother, and multiple samples for each pooled sample. Results similar to our preliminary ones appear to be upheld. An association with deficits in 6-month cognitive scores as well as 6-month AOSI (Autism Observational Scale for Infants) scores was observed in the smaller subset. The full models with a larger set of children, after adjusting for specific gravity of the urine sample, maternal BMI and periconception vitamin use, birth year, home ownership status and average TCPy (a metabolite of chlorpyrifos) concentrations during the pregnancy, as well as for the sampling design, demonstrate deficits at 6 months of age in gross motor, and also show suggestive associations with lower scores on the composite cognitive function and on fine motor skills also at 6 months of age. None of these associations were retained at ages 12, 24, and 36 months.
Gene by environment interaction – impacts of prenatal exposures on gene expression in children at ages 2-5:
-
In collaboration with Dr. Dan Campbell at University of Southern California, more extensive analyses were conducted on RNAseq data obtained on 296 CHARGE children. Building upon earlier work that was presented at ISEE and SER, further quality control was conducted using DESeq2, which provides a more accurate identification of outliers than older software. Thus, we repeated RNAseq alignment and after excluding outliers, analyzed data from 78 TD; 71 DD; and 147 ASD children, for whom indoor pesticide exposure was available. DESeq2 was used to identify differentially expressed genes comparing those exposed vs. not exposed to indoor pesticide applications in 6 or more months of pregnancy. As this package allows for multivariate control of covariates, we adjusted for sex and age in all of the analyses. Because Dr. Campbell’s time was pulled away due to events within his institution, the manuscript has been delayed, but work has resumed.
-
An additional analysis focused on examining maternal metabolic conditions during pregnancy in relation to the RNAseq in 305 CHARGE children. Analysis was performed using the Bioconductor package edgeR. KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were performed using Wilcoxon rank sum tests on p-value ranks. Top differentially expressed genes in children with ASD born to mothers with metabolic diagnoses were involved in diverse molecular functions, including neuronal signaling, cell cycle regulation, and immunity. Notable enriched KEGG pathways included chemokine signaling, glutamatergic and dopaminergic synapses, focal adhesion and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. A manuscript was drafted, circulated among co-authors, and is being revised prior to submission.
Using the CHARGE Study Exposome for broad screening of factors associated with phenotypic measurements:
Major headway has been made on numerous domains related to the Exposome component of the study (Aim 5). This includes maternal smoking, household second-hand-smoke, marijuana and other recreational drugs, household products including paint, solvents, pesticides, pet products, pets, anti-microbials, and mother’s medical history including medical conditions, and medications.
Project 2 (Perinatal Epigenetic Signatures of Environmental Exposures)
The major objectives to date are to sequence and bioinfomatically analyze MethylC-seq data from MARBLES, understand transcriptional regulation of FOXP3 through DNA methylation, and to determine the most effective current sequencing strategy for genomic DNA from MARBLES samples to identify structural variants once all MARBLES samples are obtained. Dr. LaSalle’s lab has isolated DNA and prepared MethylC-seq libraries from 54 MARBLES cord blood samples, including 26 typical and 26 ASD. WGBS and bioinformatics analyses were performed on all 52 samples. DNA methylation analysis of FOXP3 and a putative enhancer of FOXP3 was performed in sorted cord blood samples from the Ashwood lab and DNA isolated from cell pellets of CHARGE sample ex vivo PBDE treatments from the Van de Water lab. DNA from cord blood samples in undergoing whole genome sequencing on the Illumina X-ten at NovaGene.
Significant Results
-
A preliminary analysis of the first 22 samples analyzed by MethylC-seq reveal some regions of differential methylation between typical and ASD samples that will be explored in greater detail when sequencing of all samples is completed (Figure 1).
-
MethylC-seq analysis of sorted T regulatory cells reveals preliminary indication of global hypomethylation in addition to FOXP3 that may be useful in estimating the percentage of this cell population from whole cord blood MethylC-seq data (Figure 2).
-
MethylC-seq data from MARBLES placental samples were analyzed in univariate and multivariate models for associations with demographic, diagnostic, and self-reported environmental factors. Pesticides were the strongest predictors of methylation. Manuscript is being drafted and results were presented at the Feb 2016 Epigenomics Meeting in Puerto Rico.
-
MARBLES placenta MethylC-seq data were analyzed in univariate and multivariate models for associations with PCB and PBDE levels measured by the Analytic core. No significant associations were observed with PBDE congeners, but several significant associations were observed between placental DNA methylation and PCBs (Table 1). PCB 175 was associated with a significantly higher proportion of the placental methylome in PMDs after FDR correction (p=0.01). After adjustment for PMD methylation, PCB 136 was significantly associated with higher HMD methylation (p=0.002).
Project 3 (Immune Environment Interactions and Neurodevelopment)
We examined the effect of sex on immune function in typically developing male and female controls. PBMCs were harvested from children 2-5 years of age with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) age-matched control children enrolled in CHARGE (Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and the Environment), a population-based case-control study. PBMCs were pretreated for 4 hours with BDE-49 (50 or 250nM) and subsequently tested for innate immune activation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Following challenge with LPS, PBMCs isolated from TD boys produced significantly higher levels of the pro-inflammatory innate cytokines/chemokines, IL-1α and IL-8 compared to TD girls. Following concomitant challenge with BDE-49 and LPS, TD boys produced significantly higher levels of additional cytokines/chemokines including IL-10, IL-12p40, MIP-1α and MCP-1 compared to TD girls (Figure 1). In contrast, no sex differences were observed in the ASD group or between sexes for diagnostic groups. These results provide evidence that a highly active BDE congener, relevant to human exposure, is capable of altering the innate immune response in a sex dependent manner in a typically developing pediatric population, but not in children with ASD. We have analyzed maternal plasma/chemokine levels during gestation as well as following PBMC ex vivo BDE49 exposure. Finally, we are actively working on the mTOR analysis via PCR. The goal is to compare expression level of a particular gene amongst ASD and GP samples. Currently, we have 53 samples each with 500ng of RNA prepared and all 53 samples have been run by qPCR for the three housekeeping genes and 8 genes of interest (Table 2). We are currently waiting for the data to be analyzed in the coming month. Further, The integration of projects 3 and 4 has resulted in efforts to create a human neuronal stem cell system to allow testing of cytokines/chemokines during development.
Project 4 (Calcium Signaling Defects in Autism)
Project 4 has used neuronal cell culture models from humans and mice with and without expression of FMR1 CGG expansion repeats, the most prevalent monogenic risk factor for ASDs and the cause of both FXS (full mutation) and the late onset degenerative disorder FXTAS. Studies that have been performed include: single cell and network electrophysiology, Ca2+ imaging, and measures of ROS, and mitochondrial function. Additional studies had investigated morphological endpoints related to activity dependent dendritic growth using immunofluorescent labels targeting specific proteins of interest. Environmental compounds that are actively being studied include: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs), bisphenol A (PBA), tetrabromobisphenol A, and chlorpyrifos. Experiments were also performed on ex vivo tissues from the knockin mouse model of FMR1 premutation.
The Pessah lab has completed an exhaustive comparative analysis using isogenic iPSC derived neuronal cultures from a mosaic human premutation patient and tissues and neuronal cultures obtained from the FMR1 premutation mouse (Robin et al., 2017). In brief, the key findings identify abnormal Ca2+-dependent signaling pathways linking abnormal µCalpain, oxidative stress, and glutamatergic neurotransmission with long-term up-regulation of the Cdk5/ATM involved in the DNA Damage Response (DDR) in both the human and mouse models. We concluded that chronic Ca2+ dysregulation amplifies Cdk5-ATM signaling, possibly linking impaired glutamatergic signaling and DDR to neurodegeneration in preCGG brain, thereby establishing a useful gene X environment susceptibility model to test environmental chemicals of interest to the UC Davis Center. Using these models, we are completing a study investigating the differential responses of premutation neurons to the exemplary neurotoxic PCB 95. We found that both FMR1 premutation males and females show responses to PCB 95 that differ from respective WT control neurons at concentrations as low as 1 pM. Importantly there are significant sex differences in the concentration-effect relationship. These results identify FMR1 premutation as a genetic susceptibility to nondioxin-like PCBs through ryanodine receptor-dependent mechanisms, and therefore, may have significant impact on understanding how environmental exposure to POPs may magnify onset and severity of the most common monogenic risk factors for ASDs.
In a related study, we completed an extended structure–activity relationship of nondioxin-like PCBs towards RyR1, which evaluated and further supported modeling predictions from QSAR modeling. Importantly we discovered that the most active PCBs in receptor binding studies are orders of magnitude more potent when assessed using single channel electrophysiology. For example, PCB 202 activates single channel open probability with picomolar potency (Holland et al., 2017), further supporting previous work on the potency of noncoplanar PCBs towards altering activity-dependent growth through an RyR-dependent mechanism, reported by the Lein Lab. As a follow-up, we have submitted a manuscript comparing the relative potency of racemic and separated PCB 95 atropisomers on RYR1, RyR2, and the RyR mixture found in brain tissue (Feng et al 2017).
Finally, Bisphenol A (BPA) and its brominated derivative tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) are high production volume chemicals used in the manufacture of various consumer products. Although regarded as endocrine disruptors, and therefore a concern to developmental health, these chemicals are also suspected to exert nongenomic actions on muscle and brain function that are not well understood. Using skeletal muscle microsomes, we examined the effects of BPA and TBBPA on ryanodine receptor type 1 (RyR1), dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR), and sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA). We assessed the impact of these chemicals on Ca2+ dynamics and signaling in embryonic skeletal myotubes through fluorescent Ca2+ imaging and measurement of resting membrane potential (Vm) (Zhang and Pessah 2017). TBBPA activated RyR1 and inhibited DHPR and SERCA, inducing a net efflux of Ca2+ from loaded microsomes, whereas BPA exhibited little or no activity at these targets. Regardless, both compounds disrupted the function of intact myotubes. TBBPA diminished and eventually abrogated Ca2+ transients, altered intracellular Ca2+ equilibrium, and caused Vm depolarization. For some cells, BPA caused rapid Ca2+ transient loss without marked changes in cytosolic and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ levels, likely owing to altered cellular excitability as a result of BPA-induced Vm hyperpolarization. BPA and TBBPA both interfere with skeletal muscle function through divergent mechanisms that impair excitation-contraction coupling and may be exemplary of their adverse outcomes in other muscle types.
The Lein lab has validated a high content imaging approach for assessing the differentiation of the human LUHMES neuronal cell line. Studies have been initiated to screen cytokine profiles associated with autistic versus neurotypical children as identified in Project 3 and the MARBLES PCB mix, based on PCB congener profiles identified in MARBLES mothers by Core C. In addition, the Lein laboratory has been refining culture conditions for the differentiation of human neural crest stem cells into sympathetic neurons. The Lein lab has extended studies characterizing the effects of ortho-substituted PCBs on the mTOR signaling pathway in neurons, and completed studies of PBDE effects on neuronal morphogenesis in vitro. Both are significant findings and were presented at the March 2017 annual Society of Toxicology meeting in New Orleans, LA. A manuscript describing the PBDE findings was recently published in Toxicological Sciences and a manuscript describing the PCB study is being prepared for submission to Environmental Health Perspectives.
We have now measured cytokine/chemokine levels in supernatants from cells taken during pregnancy (MARBLES) with and without BDE 49 exposure. In addition, we have measured plasma cytokine levels taken throughout pregnancy. We are currently analyzing these data in terms of outcome of the offspring. We have 156 children for whom a final diagnosis has been determined.
Future Activities:
- PBDEs and early child development: Once the laboratory determinations of PBDEs are completed for the new batch of mothers, analyses of the PBDE-child diagnosis associations will be conducted, and the manuscript revised and resubmitted.
- Pyrethroid pesticides and early child development: Two additional manuscripts will be completed on maternal pesticide metabolites measured repeatedly during pregnancy in relation to child cognitive and diagnostic outcomes. The first manuscript will demonstrate the variability in measurements across pregnancy and discuss implications for sampling short-lived compounds in the context of pregnancy. This will be submitted probably to an exposure science journal. The second will report the final analyses, adjusting for confounding and for the sampling design including multiples and pooled samples within a trimester for each mother, of the associations between pyrethroid metabolites and child outcomes in the first three years of life. Depending on the strength of the results, we will select a journal in environment, epidemiology, autism or pediatrics.
- Gene expression in children at ages 2-5:
- Prenatal pesticide exposures: The analyses are completed and a draft manuscript will be completed, circulated among co-authors, and submitted for publication.
-
- Maternal metabolic conditions: A manuscript has been drafted describing the gene ontology pathways that are upregulated in children whose mothers had one or more metabolic conditions of obesity, diabetes during pregnancy (gestational or type 2 prior to pregnancy) or hypertension during pregnancy. It will be finalized and submitted for publication.
-
- CHARGE Study exposome analyses: In collaboration with Drs. Ritchie, Kim, Selleck, exposome analyses will be conducted in discovery mode using a range of annotation files and methods developed by Dr. Ritchie. A manuscript will be drafted for submission to a peer reviewed publication.
