Endotyping pediatric obesity–related asthma: Contribution of anthropometrics, metabolism, nutrients, and CD4+ lymphocytes to pulmonary function
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology(2022)
摘要
Background
Obesity-related complications including visceral fat, metabolic abnormalities, nutrient deficiencies, and immune perturbations are interdependent but have been individually associated with childhood asthma.
Objective
We sought to endotype childhood obesity–related asthma by quantifying contributions of obesity-related complications to symptoms and pulmonary function.
Methods
Multiomics analysis using Similarity Network Fusion followed by mediation analysis were performed to quantify prediction of obese asthma phenotype by different combinations of anthropometric, metabolic, nutrient, and TH-cell transcriptome and DNA methylome data sets.
Results
Two clusters (n = 28 and 26) distinct in their anthropometric (neck and midarm circumference, waist to hip ratio [WHR], and body mass index [BMI] z score), metabolic, nutrient, and TH-cell transcriptome and DNA methylome footprint predicted 5 or more pulmonary function indices across 7 different data set combinations. Metabolic measures attenuated the association of neck, WHR, and BMI z score with FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio and expiratory reserve volume (ERV), of neck, midarm, and BMI z score with functional residual capacity, but only of WHR with inspiratory capacity. Nutrient levels attenuated the association of neck, midarm circumference, and BMI z score with functional residual capacity, and of WHR with FEV1/FVC ratio, ERV, and inspiratory capacity. TH-cell transcriptome attenuated the association of all 4 anthropometric measures with FEV1/FVC ratio, but only of WHR with ERV and inspiratory capacity. The DNA methylome attenuated the association of all 4 anthropometric measures with FEV1/FVC ratio and ERV, but only of WHR with inspiratory capacity.
Conclusions
Anthropometric, metabolic, nutrient, and immune perturbations have individual but interdependent contributions to obese asthma phenotype, with the most consistent effect of WHR, highlighting the role of truncal adiposity in endotyping childhood obesity–related asthma.
