Objective:
The long-term goal of the ASTHMA-DIET (A Study to Understand the Mechanisms of Asthma--Dietary Interventions to Protect Against Environmental Triggers) Program is to understand how diet influences the asthmatic response to indoor and outdoor airborne pollutants and allergens, with the expectation of translating these findings into practical dietary strategies to improve pediatric asthma health. The ASTHMA-DIET Center’s overall hypothesis is that a low anti-oxidant, pro-inflammatory diet impairs the capacity to respond to oxidative stressors, thereby increasing susceptibility to pollutant and allergen exposures. The aims of the Center grant are focused on the mechanistic underpinnings of airway inflammation, oxidative stress, and respiratory morbidity in predominantly African-American children with asthma, living in the inner city of Baltimore.
The specific aims are to (1) examine the effect of the poor “inner city” diet on susceptibility of asthmatic children to in-home pollutant (PM and NO2) exposure; (2) identify barriers and enabling factors to implementing dietary and environmental modifications in inner city homes of children with asthma; (3) conduct randomized, controlled trials of two dietary interventions: namely broccoli sprouts (BS), which increase OS capacity in respiratory epithelium, and the low-saturated fat, anti-inflammatory OmniHeart Diet (OHD); (4) test the effects of BS and the OHD on OS, inflammation, basophil activation, and clinical outcomes in Baltimore City adults with mouse allergen-induced asthma; (5) determine the effect of dietary constituents (proposed in Project 2-children intervention studies) on OVA and ambient particle induced-asthma in mice models (the mice will be fed either a normal diet or a modified Mediterranean-type diet from which we will compare diets with low DHA, high DHA and a high fat diet); (6) study asthma susceptibility by measuring different endpoints such as pulmonary inflammation, Th2 cytokines, and airway hyper-responsiveness; (7) study the regulation of the Nrf2 pathway and its downstream antioxidant gene activation due to sulforaphane using Nrf2 +/+ and -/- mice to dissect the mechanism; and (8) determine the effect of dietary constituents on DC maturation and Th2 polarization in the OVA and the ambient particle model of asthma. The proposed studies will help illustrate the mechanism by which diet modulates susceptibility and asthma pathogenesis.
Progress Summary:
In the last 12 months, we have made significant progress to integrate all components of the program, ensure tight collaboration among the leaders of the three projects and four cores, and exchange of ideas and data. Investigators from each Project and Core have been meeting weekly at regularly scheduled staff and data meetings, with informal meetings even more frequently. The Cores are all fully functional and productive.
Project 1:
There has been significant progress on Project 1 in the past year. We have consented a total of 169 asthmatics to date. Of these, 121 participants have completed all home visits. While successfully recruiting, we continue to keep our focus on the routine follow-up home visits of those participants who already have consented. We continue to conduct regular study meetings to discuss recruitment strategies and issues involving home visits.
Our clinic visits continue to include collection of health information and lung function testing. On home visits, questionnaires, diet survey, home inspections, exhaled nitric oxide, skin assessments, peak flow measurements, dust sample collection, and air monitoring are done. Air monitoring includes PM2.5, PM10, NO2 measurements and samples were sent to the environmental assessment core. Added to the home visits are a questionnaire on barriers to healthy eating, administered at the third and final home visit, and a 24-hour dietary recall to validate the Food Frequence Questionnaires (FFQs) being used in this population. In a subset of participants, we have implemented a 7-day diary to monitor NO2 exposure in conjunction with measuring NO2 in the home using daily Ogawa badges. FFQs collected to date have been sent to Dr. Gita Sharma for analysis. Blood, urine, and nasal lavage samples have been collected for all the participants who have completed at least one season and delivered to Dr. Biswal’s lab for processing to measure inflammatory and oxidative stress markers. Blood samples also have been delivered to Dr. Detrick’s lab to measure serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. This study will fill a significant gap between the evidence base for the effect of diet on susceptibility to indoor air pollutants on asthma health. To our knowledge, the proposed study will be the first to examine the interactive effect of diet with indoor pollutants (PM and NO2). The results of this study will help to establish the role and mechanism of effect of diet and indoor pollutants on inner city childhood asthma, and lay the groundwork for intervention treatments and strategies.
An abstract on links between fast food consumption and asthma control in urban asthmatic children was presented at the 2013 American Thoracic Society International Conference.
Project 2:
For Project 2, a new protocol has been developed using a nasal allergen challenge model instead of an environmental challenge model. This protocol has received IRB and ICTR approval at Johns Hopkins and the revised protocol and Manual of Procedures are undergoing review by the EPA before initiation of the study. An IND was obtained for the FDA for the study protocol that covers two investigational agents: the whole broccoli sprouts and the mouse epithelial extract to be used in the nasal challenges. All regulatory and data management requirements have been met and all supplies are on hand to launch the study. EPA review of the revised protocol was completed in May 2012; the study was approved by EPA for re-launching, and recruitment began. After launching the study with the nasal challenge procedure, it became clear that it would not be possible to meet recruitment goals, so the protocol was revised with a new primary outcome variable, exhaled nitric oxide, which is a measure of pulmonary allergic inflammation. The trial design was thus a parallel arm randomized controlled trial of 3 days of ingestion of 100 g of broccoli sprouts vs. alfalfa sprouts. Adults with asthma who had at least one positive skin test were eligible. This amendment was reviewed by the IRB and approved on 12/19/2013. Recruitment began in January 2014, and as of 7/31/2014, 35 participants completed clinic screening, 23 participants were randomized, and 17 had completed the study. The sample size is 40 participants. The DSMB has received quarterly reports and has recommended that the study continue after all of their reviews.
Phase 2 Enzyme Gene Expression Pilot Studies
We have conducted pilot studies measuring Phase II gene expression in nasal epithelial cells from several study populations. Methods for collection of nasal epithelial cells have been piloted and we have established the feasibility of collecting the samples and of extracting sufficient quantity and quality RNA for gene expression assays. For purposes of our pilot study, nasal epithelial cell samples were collected from an ongoing cohort of Baltimore City children with asthma and levels of Phase II gene expression were compared to markers of asthma severity. Findings from this pilot study were published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology in 2011.
Pilot Tolerability Study
A pilot study examining tolerability of 100 g and 75 g broccoli sprouts (BS) delivered in sandwiches was completed. Five healthy adults were enrolled for the 100 g dose and five enrolled for the 75 g dose pilot. Participants consumed sandwiches daily for 5 days. Participants reported that the sandwiches were very palatable and consistently consumed at least 85% of the sandwich at each meal. Plasma sulforaphane (SFN) concentrations before ingestion were undetectable and 1 hour after ingesting the last sandwich, sulforaphane concentrations were detectable in the 600-2290 nM range. The only side effects were gastrointestinal with bloating and abdominal pain reported most commonly. There was no vomiting or diarrhea reported. There were no differences in side effects between the 75 g and 100 g BS sandwiches. There were no significant changes in thyroid function tests associated with ingestion of BS sandwiches. The 100 g BS sandwiches were associated with somewhat higher plasma SFN concentrations and were selected for the efficacy trial. Results of this pilot study were presented at the 2011 meeting of the American Thoracic Society.
Omni Heart Diet Study
We now have completed a randomized, crossover trial of a dietary intervention that replaces the usual diet with a Mediterranean-like diet. We used databases from previous studies as a source of recruitment and also distributed flyers to Johns Hopkins and Johns Hopkins Community Physicians offices and used mass mailings. We phone screened 82 individuals and consented 19. Of these, 6 were found to be ineligible at the initial screening clinic visit. Two individuals withdrew during the initial screening period, which was comprised of three visits for the purpose of orienting participants to the study protocol and the study foods. Eleven adults were randomized and four withdrew during the study period. Seven participants completed the study protocol. During the period of the study, the participants were provided a 4-week dietary intervention and were instructed to consume only foods provided by the study during this period. The dietary intervention consisted of food that was prepared and packaged at the ProHealth Research facility. Participants consumed lunch onsite 3-4 days per week and received the remainder of their meals and snacks at ProHealth. These foods were packaged to be consumed at home. There was a 4-week washout period in between interventions. During the control period, participants consumed their usual diet. Participants completed 24-hour dietary recalls administered over the phone three times during both the control and the intervention periods. Participant had health outcomes assessed at baseline and at the end of each 4-week intervention period, control, and dietary intervention. These included questionnaires, lung function assessment, collection of biomarkers, including exhaled nitric oxide, blood, urine, nasal lavage, and nasal epithelial cells. Participants overall reported a very positive experience in the study. We have completed data entry and now are analyzing results.
These studies will provide important insight into: (1) the mechanisms by which dietary factors may promote or protect against environmentally induced airway inflammation; and (2) potential dietary interventions for asthma and allergies aimed at providing protection against allergen-induced asthma.
Project 3:
Broccoli sprouts are rich in glucoraphanin, which is converted to sulforaphane by bacterial myrosinases in the colon during digestion. Sulforaphane is an activator of Nrf2. Our ongoing studies have shown that sulforaphane attenuates ovalbumin-induced asthmatic features, including eosinophilic inflammation, TH2 cytokine secretion, and airways hypersensitive response (AHR). Moreover, sulforaphane is protective when given either during sensitization or challenge. We currently are investigating the underlying mechanism by which sulforaphane-mediated induction of Nrf2 signaling attenuates asthma.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is found in the Mediterranean-type diet. Mice that were fed a diet containing 0.6% DHA starting 2 weeks prior to sensitization exhibited a significant decrease in OVA-induced eosinophilic inflammation, compared to mice fed a diet lacking DHA. However, we did not observe a significant improvement in AHR. We currently are examining whether prolonged feeding of DHA results in more profound effects.
Under basal conditions, Nrf2 is bound to Keap1 in the cytoplasm, which inhibits Nrf2 activity and signals its degradation. Deletion of Keap1 in mice results in lethality at approximately 2 weeks of age, making studies of genetic activation of Nrf2 difficult. To overcome this, we are utilizing a novel mouse strain that contains a tamoxifen-inducible deletion of Keap1. Genetic activation of Nrf2, through tamoxifen-mediated deletion of Keap1, results in significant reductions in AHR (APTI), eosinophilic inflammation, and TH2 cytokine secretion. We also have engineered mice that contain Keap1 deletions specifically in airway epithelial cells (CC10) or CD4 T cells (CD4). These mice exhibit significant reductions in AHR (APTI), eosinophilic inflammation, and TH2 cytokine secretion.
Data Management and Statistics Core
In addition to maintenance of the data management system, the Data Management and Statistics Core (DMSC) has provided data support services for all Projects. The DMSC has developed forms and study participant recruitment and tracking systems, provided interim and final analyses of accumulated data, and participated in the preparation of scientific reports and manuscripts.
The DMSC holds weekly meetings with investigators and research staff of the Center for Childhood Asthma in the Urban Environment to present reports of interim analyses, troubleshoot data collection or quality issues, and this meeting also provides a forum for discussions regarding abstract and manuscript preparation. In addition to the weekly meetings, the following objectives have been met:
• Completion of a Tracking/Recruiting Database for Project 1; Tracking/Recruiting Database for both Project 2 studies is complete
• Completion of Data Collection Forms for Projects 1 and 2.
• Identification of potential study participants from the Future Subjects Database for Projects 1 and 2.
• Upgrade of the user interface and capabilities of the Environmental Data Web Portal.
• Expansion of a web-based data portal to manage data generated in the Exposure Assessment Core, including PM, NO2, airborne nicotine, HOBO temperature and humidity, and MIE data.
• Implementation of a barcoding system to track biologic samples.
• Maintenance of a database of potential study participants (Future Subjects Database) to be used as a recruitment tool.
• Development of additional data capture and data quality control tools for both Projects 1 and 2.
• Development of reporting tools for Projects 1 and 2.
In the past year, significant progress has been made in cleaning, managing, and developing methods for analysis of real-time particle concentration data generated from the nephelometry-based MIE monitors that are deployed in the field as a part of Diet Project 1.
The research projects supported by the DMSC will result in important insights into the impact of diet on asthma, including whether diet interacts with PM and allergen exposure to cause greater asthma symptoms and morbidity, and whether diet interacts with PM or allergen induced symptoms via the oxidative stress pathway. Ultimately, these findings will provide the foundation and rationale for dietary recommendations for asthmatics as well as a rationale for the use of dietary interventions as therapy in the management of asthma.
Environmental Assessment Core
Consistent with the specific aims of the Environmental Assessment Core we continue to support environmental sampling and exposure assessment aspects of the projects. This has included implementing exposure assessment protocols for Project 1 and 2, as well as environmental sample collection for Project 3. In addition, we have collaborated with the DMSC on the development and implementation of exposure assessment tools, forms, and databases. The Core PI has attended all Community Advisory Board meetings and participated in planning for Community Outreach and Research Translation Core activities.
New exposure assessment activities include implementing the Limulus Assay for endotoxin assessment and developing the Whole Blood Assay and to assess the overall biogenic activity of indoor air pollution.
Community Outreach and Translation Core
As in the first 3 years of the study, the Community Outreach and Translation Core (COTC) of the ASTHMA-DIET study continues to work within the Baltimore City community around issues of pediatric asthma, environmental exposure, and diet. We continue to meet every 2 months with our CAB to present information about our study results and get member input on study implementation, dissemination, and community concerns. Project leaders attend meetings to present current updates on their study progress and share community-disseminable summaries of their project’s goals, design, and findings.
Our community outreach activity has continued in the past year, with our outreach worker now participating in as many as six Baltimore City community activities (e.g., health fairs, community health days, screenings, etc.) in any given month. Outreach activities include education around second hand smoke, avoidance of allergens and indoor and outdoor PM, and asthma management. Further, we continue to work closely with Baltimore City Head Start programs as a part of their efforts to reduce ETS exposure for preschool children. In this context we continue to offer Head Start staff training sessions related to second hand smoke reduction, and participate in Head Start Health Advisory Committee Meetings.
Based on qualitative research related to barriers to healthy eating in urban families we conducted in 2012, we have developed and piloted a measure of beliefs about healthy eating for children in urban families. This IRB approved measure now is administered by the field staff to ASTHMA-DIET participants at one point during the week of their third home visit, which occurs 6 months after their baseline home visit.
Future Activities:
This study will fill a significant gap between the evidence base for the effect of diet on susceptibility to indoor air pollutants on asthma health. To our knowledge, the proposed study will be the first to examine the interactive effect of diet with indoor pollutants (PM and NO2). The results of this study will help to establish the role and mechanism of effect of diet and indoor pollutants on inner city childhood asthma, and lay the groundwork for intervention treatments and strategies.
Plans for the future include providing support for conducting ongoing exposure assessments (indoor air sampling, allergen sampling, home inspections); and collecting, interpreting, and summarizing ambient air quality data from air monitoring sites run by the Maryland Department of the Environment. The PI and Core collaborators will collaborate on Center publications and presentations. We aim to further define the roles that dietary Nrf2 activation and DHA dietary supplementation play in asthma pathogenesis and will further explore Nrf2 as a modifier of disease pathogenesis.
These studies are geared towards understanding the Nrf2 pathway as a critical modifier of pulmonary oxidative stress and asthma. Nrf2 activators could be lead molecules for therapeutic interventions. Our evidence to date indicates that activation of Nrf2 attenuates asthmatic phenotypes. We have demonstrated this phenomenon by using genetic approaches as well as through treatment with sulforaphane, a chemical found in broccoli sprouts. Furthermore, we see that DHA, found in a Mediterranean-style diet, attenuates allergic inflammation. These studies suggest that dietary interventions that target the antioxidant response may reduce asthmatic sensitization or acute allergic responses.
The research projects supported by the DMSC will result in important insights into the impact of diet on asthma, including whether diet interacts with PM and allergen exposure to cause greater asthma symptoms and morbidity, and whether diet interacts with PM or allergen induced symptoms via the oxidative stress pathway. Ultimately, these findings will provide the foundation and rationale for dietary recommendations for asthmatics as well as a rationale for the use of dietary interventions as therapy in the management of asthma.
