| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Here we aimed to clarify genomic/epigenomic changes in smoking-associated airway inflammation, which is characterized with mixed type inflammation of eosinophilic/type 2 and neutrophilic inflammations in asthma. In clinical samples, we found that sensitization to staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins (SE) was associated with smoking status. However, stimulation with SE to cultured airway smooth muscle cells did not show any significant changes in several cytokines that were candidate for epigenomic analysis. We then focused on genotyping of eosinophilic/type 2 asthmatics, which lead to identification of SNPs of IL4Rα and ADAM33 as important genome markers of asthma exacerbations. More importantly, a SNP of ADAM33 was associated with mixed type inflammation, which is a typical endotype of smoker asthma. These findings may be a clue to understand smoking-associated airway inflammation and efficient analysis of the epigenetic changes, which is closely associated with genomic changes.
