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.
Summary/Accomplishments (Outputs/Outcomes):
Project 1
In utero pyrethroid pesticide and neurodevelopmental outcomes from 6 - 36 months of age in the MARBLES longitudinal cohort
Background/Aim: Little is known about the effects of in utero pyrethroid pesticide exposure on child development. We assessed the relationships between pyrethroid pregnancy exposure and (1) autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or non-typical development (NT) at 3 years, (2) child cognition from 6 – 36 months on the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL).
Methods: Participants were mother-child pairs (n=215) in the MARBLES (Markers of Autism Risk in Babies-Learning Early Signs) cohort. Because family recurrence risks in siblings are about 20%, the MARBLES study enrolls pregnant women who already had a child with ASD. Children were clinically assessed at 3 years and classified into 3 diagnostic categories: ASD, NT, or typically developing (TD). Repeated maternal second and third trimester urine samples were analyzed for pyrethroid metabolite 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA). We calculated weights for use in regression models based on number of urine samples per woman and the intraclass correlation. Multinomial logistic regression was used to obtain risk ratios (RR) for pregnancy average 3-PBA concentrations relative to child’s diagnosis. Linear regression models were used to investigate average in utero 3-PBA concentrations and Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) scores.
Results: The median SG-adjusted 3-PBA concentration of all samples was 1.46 ng/ml. Adjusting for specific gravity, maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, prenatal vitamin use, birth year, homeownership, and TCPy (a metabolite of organophosphate pesticides) pregnancy concentrations, prenatal 3-PBA concentrations were weakly associated with higher risk of ASD (RR 1.33, 95% CI: 0.89 - 1.96) and compared to TD children. After applying weights to 3-PBA concentrations and adjusting for SG, maternal BMI, prenatal vitamin use, birth year, homeownership and TCPy pregnancy concentrations, we found significantly lower MSEL Gross Motor (β= - 1.20, p=0.05) scores at 6 months. In utero pyrethroid pesticide exposures showed a suggestive association with lower scores on both the MSEL composite (β = -1.51, p= 0.07) and fine motor (β = -1.01, p=0.09) at 6 months.
Conclusions: This may be the first study to assess a biomarker of pyrethroid exposure, based on multiple—up to 6—urine samples, from the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy in relation to ASD and child cognitive development from 6 - 36 months. These findings suggest in utero 3-PBA concentrations are not strongly related to a diagnosis of ASD but may impact cognitive development in early infancy. The role of post-natal exposures has yet to be assessed with regard to post-infancy outcomes. With widespread use of pyrethroid pesticides further investigations of neurodevelopment in childhood are warranted.
Prenatal pesticide exposure, child gene expression, and neurodevelopmental outcomes in the MARBLES longitudinal cohort study
Background: Chlorpyrifos and pyrethroid pesticides are widely used, and prenatal exposures may increase the risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Genetic factors may increase susceptibility to pesticide exposure. Gene environment interactions are of particular interest due to the complex etiology of ASD.
Aims: To assess associations between prenatal pesticide exposures and child gene expression at birth in a cohort at high risk for developing autism or other developmental delays, both overall and within diagnostic groups.
Methods: Participants (n=91) were from the MARBLES (Markers of Autism Risk in Babies-Learning Early Signs) longitudinal cohort study in northern California. We measured pyrethroid metabolite 3-PBA (3-phenoxybenzoic acid) and chlorpyrifos metabolite TCPy (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol) from multiple maternal urine samples collected during pregnancy, and gene expression from three selected genes of interest (SFRP2, VANGL2, PON1) in child serum umbilical cord samples from delivery. We assessed associations between in utero pesticide exposures and child gene expression, both overall and stratified by child’s 3-year clinical outcome of ASD, non-typical development or typical development with the use of linear regression models.
Results: After adjusting for birth year, prenatal vitamin use and child’s race/ethnicity we found pregnancy urinary TCPy concentrations were marginally associated with VANGL2 expression (β= 0.03, p=0.082), but 3-PBA concentrations were not significantly associated with expression for any of the three selected genes. After stratifying by child’s clinical outcome we observed a significant association between pregnancy TCPy concentrations and lower PON1 expression (β = -0.07, p=0.002) within the ASD group. Within this same group, pregnancy 3-PBA concentrations were weakly associated with higher VANGL2 expression (β = 0.11, p=0.119) and lower SFRP2 expression (β = -0.37, p=0.116). Pregnancy 3-PBA concentrations were also weakly associated with higher SFRP2 expression (β= 0.11, p=0.112) among children with typical development.
Conclusions: This study may provide the first evidence for the influence of prenatal pesticide exposures on expression of several genes that are known to influence risk for ASD. This study used gold-standard assessments of ASD and biomarkers of in utero pesticide exposure. Gene expression was measured at birth, which ultimately could prove useful for a pre-clinical biomarker of elevated risk for ASD. These results are from a high-risk population and small sample. Further investigation of the underlying genetic mechanisms for the differences we observed in gene expression should be conducted in a larger sample.
Exposome-wide association study (EWAS) identifies link between pregnancy anxiety and various autism spectrum traits.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex trait that is characterized by atypical social and behavioral development and can be accompanied by altered intellectual development. There are a number of studies showing links between environmental exposures and increased risk in developmental disorders, including autism. We used environmental exposure data from Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and the Environment (CHARGE), a population-based study of children aged 2-5 years, in three categories: ASD, Developmental Delay (DD), and General Population/Typical Development (TD). We designed a multi-step analysis, in which we first performed an exposome-wide association study (EWAS) to identify factors predictive of ASD. Then, we tested the variable most strongly associated with ASD for associations with 56 clinical assessment variables and 11 child measurement variables recorded on CHARGE participants to further explain its link with the exposure. Using an EWAS approach, we evaluated 874 demographic, maternal health, maternal lifestyle, chemical exposure, residential, and other pregnancy variables from 1286 participants (778 ASD, 508 TD) using logistic regression, adjusting for sex, age, and race. We found six exposure variables that met the Bonferroni significance threshold (for alpha=0.05). The association with maternal nervousness or anxiety during pregnancy (maternal health) was the most significant (p-value = 4.05 x 10-6, OR= 2.21 [1.56, 3.14]). A variety of previous studies have demonstrated that prenatal anxiety or stress is linked to developmental disorders and autism spectrum traits. Subsequently, we found 18 clinical assessment variables significantly associated with maternal nervousness or anxiety using a multi-phenotype approach similar to what is used in phenome-wide association studies, with “Irritability” in children being the most significant association (p-value = 1.82 x 10-8 and beta = 4.20). Other clinical assessment variables significantly associated with pregnancy nervousness or anxiety were hyperactivity, inattention, stereotypy, lethargy, and novel associations with several developmental quotient variables. These findings highlight the potential links between maternal mental health during pregnancy and neurobehavioral developmental in children. In the future, we will investigate the combined effect of these exposure variables on autism spectrum traits.
Project 2
Whole genome sequencing and whole genome bisulfite sequencing on 92 MARBLES cord blood samples were successfully completed and several manuscripts are in preparation. The intellectual interactions with in the CCEH led to a number of new collaborations on gene by environmental interactions at the epigenetic interface, including neuroimmune and PCB interactions.
Project 3
1. Exposure to Persistent Organic Flame Retardants PBDE elicits differential Immune Responses in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Children with ASD:
Children with autism (ASD) have immune dysregulation that often correlates with behavioral deficits. Test the hypothesis of associations between plasma PBDE and immune cell function in children with and without ASD. Plasma from children enrolled in the CHARGE (CHildhood Autism Risks from Genetics and the Environment) with (ASD; n=38) and without (TD; n=60) ASD diagnosis were analyzed for 11 major PBDE congeners using GC-tandem mass spectrometry. Basal and activated cytokine/chemokine secretion was measured from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) supernatants, with and without ex vivo BDE-49. Total body burden (∑PBDE12) and individual congener levels were correlated with T cell cytokine/chemokine production. ∑PBDE12 did not differ between diagnostic groups., but ∑PBDE12 correlated with suppressed immune responses, and baseline T cell functions were more profoundly affected (lower IL-2, IL-13 and IFN-γ) in ASD. Higher ∑PBDE12 were negatively correlated with adaptive T-cell cytokines IL-2, IL-13, IL-17 and IL-10 after activation of PBMC. Baseline production of T cell IL-2 and IFN-γ were negatively impacted by several individual BDE congeners in ASD compared to TD, especially for BDE-49 (p=0.001). ASD PBMC exposed to 50 nM BDE-49 showed higher inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-a, IL-1b, and the chemokines MIP-1α and MCP-1 in ASD cases (p<0.05). Increased IL-6 (p=0.01) and GM-CSF (p=0.03) following pre-treatment with 250 nM BDE-49 was positively correlated with higher body burden of BDE-49, but not BDE-47 or BDE-95. Conclusion: Despite similar body burdens of PBDEs in ASD and TD, PBDE exposures differentially impact immune responsiveness in ASD with little or no impact on TD children, suggesting an underlying association between susceptibility to PBDEs and immune anomalies in ASD.
2. Increased production of IL-17 in children with autism spectrum disorders and co-morbid asthma
Inflammation and asthma have both been reported in some children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To further assess this connection, peripheral immune cells isolated from young children with ASD and typically developing (TD) controls and the production of cytokines IL-17, -13, and -4 assessed following ex vivo mitogen stimulation. Notably, IL-17 production was significantly higher following stimulation in ASD children compared to controls. Moreover, IL-17 was increased in ASD children with co-morbid asthma compared to controls with the same condition. In conclusion, children with ASD exhibited a differential response to T cell stimulation with elevated IL-17 production compared to controls.
3. A Mixture of Autism-Relevant Inflammatory Cytokines Activates Nuclear Factor-Kappa B and Alters Cell Viability and Synaptic Connectivity in a Human Neuronal Cell Line.
Working with Project 4, we completed studies screening the cytokine profiles derived from our studies of women whose blood was collected during pregnancy.
Maternal infection during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of autism, schizophrenia, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Preclinical models have also demonstrated that elevated inflammatory cytokine levels in the maternal and fetal compartments following maternal immune activation lead to behavioral changes in the offspring. Cytokines, classically known as immune signaling molecules, serve important functions in brain development, and previous studies have demonstrated that cytokines can alter neurite outgrowth and synaptic connectivity in cultured rodent neurons. The Van de Water lab identified patterns of cytokines/chemokines that were associated with having a child with ASD + intellectual disability (ID) versus neurotypical and developmentally delayed children without ASD. In conjunction with the Lein lab (through a shared graduate student) we determined the effects the ASD cytokine mix on cell viability, neuronal apoptosis, neurite outgrowth, neurite retraction, and synaptogenesis in the human LUHMES neuronal cell line. We found that the cytokine profile associated with having a child with ASD +ID significantly modulated these endpoints in LUHMES cells. At concentrations that activated nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in LUHMES cells, ICM altered cytokine receptor expression, induced caspase-3/7 activity, and reduced synapse number. ICM also significantly altered measures of overall neurite outgrowth, but only at concentrations that also reduced cell viability. These results show that ICM activates NF-κB signaling in LUHMES cells and suggest that exposure to inflammatory cytokines promotes apoptosis and alters synaptic connectivity in developing neurons, two endpoints of relevance to neurodevelopmental disorders.
These data, which have significant implications for understanding the role of neuroimmune interactions in ASD, are currently accepted for publication in Molecular Psychiatry, a Nature journal.
Project 4
Project 4 has tested the hypothesis that CGG trinucleotide repeats in the FMRI gene, the most prevalent single gene disorder contributing to autism risk, influence susceptibility to non-dioxin-like (NDL) persistent organic pollutants (POPs) identified in Core 3 and pro-inflammatory cytokine profiles identified in Project 3 to predominate in plasma of women participating in the MARBLES study during pregnancy. Project 3 Co-PIs Pessah and Lein have coauthored >60 peer reviewed publications during the project period that are relevant to the original specific aims proposed for Project 4 of the UC Davis Center. Specifically, work in Project 4 has led to better understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute to susceptibility to neurodevelopmental disorders through interactions of two genetic loci (RYR1 and FMR1) and several high-priority halogenated persistent organic pollutants. The project has also provided important new information regarding the identity of emerging pollutants whose sources can be traced to both waste water treatment and marine natural products.
Conclusions:
Center investigators, students and staff met monthly throughout the life of the Center to present results, discuss progress and challenges. Center investigators presented key research results and challenges. The Center leadership continued oversee biobanking and resource sharing. The COTC expanded its outreach efforts and is working collaboratively with the UC Davis EHS Center.
The Administrative Core worked with project and core leaders and their unit grants management staff to update and align budgets, as well as distribute the federal and institutional matching funds in support of this program. The Core has organized ongoing monthly CCEH research meetings with rotating presentations provided by leaders from each of the center’s components. We have also continued to facilitate the Scientific Advisory Committee, which met for a final time, January 10, 2018. Lastly, the Core made multiple improvements to the Center’s biobank management and developed a new application and process for requesting specimens and data, as well as establishing an internal committee to coordinate oversight of the biobank.
The COTC continued to provide opportunities for Center researchers to share their research with different audiences. Center Director Judy Van de water, Project 2 co-leaders, Janine LaSalle and Rebecca Schmidt, along with Dr. Robin Hansen gave a panel presentation for parents at the UC Davis Child Development Center on current topics in prenatal gene-environment interactions and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Other panelists included a genetic counselor and a breastmilk nutrition researcher. The event was co-sponsored with the UC Davis Genome Center’s community engagement core. The COTC is also collaborating with the recently funded NIEHS P30 center COEC. The COTC and COEC have established an
environmental health sciences writing internship for the University Writing Program. Interns have written several articles for the CCEH and Core Center that have been published in the campus paper, the California Aggie, which has a Facebook reach of approximately 240,000.Also, this year a short documentary film about the CHARGE study was produced and released for public viewing. The video is available on the CCEH webpages and also on YouTube. Project TENDR also released a short documentary film, which premiered at the NIEHS FEST Film
Festival and is also available for viewing on the center website and YouTube. CCEH investigators continued to present their findings at major scientific conferences—IMFAR, SOT, Biophysical Society and others. Finally, Dr. Hertz-Picciotto from Project 1 and Project TENDR co-founder, has participated in state and federal legislative briefings on environmental impacts to neurodevelopment. Significant results from the Analytical Core suggest a positive association between PBDE exposure and gestational risk of autism. Concentrations of PBDEs in MARBLES women, who had a previous child with ASD, were higher compared to those in pregnant women at lower risk. We have evaluated the use of derivatization with dansyl chloride to analyze for 23 OH-PBDEs and OH-PCBs by LC/MS-MS analysis. We utilized plasma from the original MARBLES cohort (n=194) to apply and assess this methodology.
