BACKGROUND: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune-mediated rare disease, characterized by esophageal dysfunctions. It is likely to be primarily activated by food antigens and is classified as a chronic disease for most patients. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying EoE is needed to implement and improve therapeutic lines of intervention and ameliorate overall patient wellness. METHODS: RNA-seq data of 18 different studies on EoE, downloaded from NCBI GEO with faster-qdump ( https://github.com/ncbi/sra-tools ), were batch-corrected and analyzed for transcriptomics and metatranscriptomics profiling as well as biological process functional enrichment. The EoE TaMMA web app was designed with plotly and dash. Tabula Sapiens raw data were downloaded from the UCSC Cell Browser. Esophageal single-cell raw data analysis was performed within the Automated Single-cell Analysis Pipeline. Single-cell data-driven bulk RNA-seq data deconvolution was performed with MuSiC and CIBERSORTx. Multi-omics integration was performed with MOFA. RESULTS: The EoE TaMMA framework pointed out disease-specific molecular signatures, confirming its reliability in reanalyzing transcriptomic data, and providing new EoE-specific molecular markers including CXCL14, distinguishing EoE from gastroesophageal reflux disorder. EoE TaMMA also revealed microbiota dysbiosis as a predominant characteristic of EoE pathogenesis. Finally, the multi-omics analysis highlighted the presence of defined classes of microbial entities in subsets of patients that may participate in inducing the antigen-mediated response typical of EoE pathogenesis. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that the complex EoE molecular network may be unraveled through advanced bioinformatics, integrating different components of the disease process into an omics-based network approach. This may implement EoE management and treatment in the coming years.
背景:嗜酸性食管炎 (EoE) 是一种慢性免疫介导的罕见疾病,其特征为食管功能障碍。它很可能主要由食物抗原激活,并被归类为大多数患者的慢性疾病。因此,需要更深入地了解 EoE 的发病机制,以实施和改进治疗干预措施,并改善整体患者健康。
方法:从 NCBI GEO 使用 faster-qdump(https://github.com/ncbi/sra-tools)下载了 18 项不同的 EoE 研究的 RNA-seq 数据,对其进行了批量校正,并进行了转录组学和代谢组学分析以及生物过程功能富集。EoE TaMMA 网络应用程序是使用 plotly 和 dash 设计的。Tabula Sapiens 原始数据是从 UCSC Cell Browser 下载的。食管单细胞原始数据分析是在自动单细胞分析管道内进行的。单细胞数据驱动的批量 RNA-seq 数据去卷积是使用 MuSiC 和 CIBERSORTx 进行的。多组学整合是使用 MOFA 进行的。
结果:EoE TaMMA 框架指出了疾病特异性分子特征,证实了其重新分析转录组数据的可靠性,并提供了新的 EoE 特异性分子标记物,包括 CXCL14,将 EoE 与胃食管反流病区分开来。EoE TaMMA 还揭示了微生物失调是 EoE 发病机制的主要特征。最后,多组学分析突出了在可能参与诱导 EoE 发病机制中典型的抗原介导反应的患者亚群中存在定义类别的微生物实体。
结论:我们的研究表明,通过先进的生物信息学,可以揭示复杂的 EoE 分子网络,将疾病过程的不同组成部分整合到基于组学的网络方法中。这可能会在未来几年实施 EoE 的管理和治疗。
