Genomics and the Environment in Respiratory and Allergic Health Group

Research Summary

The Genomics and the Environment in Respiratory and Allergic Health Group, in the Epidemiology Branch, headed by Stephanie J. London, M.D, Dr.P.H., focuses on environmental, genetic, and epigenetic factors, and their interactions, in relation to respiratory health and illness across the life-course. Outcomes of interest include asthma, allergies, pulmonary function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

London began work on genetic susceptibility to respiratory disease in 1990 with a population-based case-control study of lung cancer in African-Americans and Caucasians in Los Angeles County. With collaborators on a cohort of Shanghai men she published the first example of gene-diet interaction based on a dietary biomarker; isothiocyanates, a chemopreventive substance in Brassica vegetables, were protective for lung cancer only among individuals with genetically reduced ability to eliminate these compounds. This finding has been widely replicated.

London now focuses on nonmalignant respiratory outcomes. In the early 1990s, she was part of the small group of investigators at the University of Southern California that established the landmark Children's Health Study, a school-based cohort study of health effects of air pollution. After coming to NIEHS in 1995, she developed a case-parent triad study of genetics of childhood asthma in Mexico City (MCCAS). Beginning in 2008, London’s genetic work shifted to genome-wide approaches. She published one of the first genome wide association studies (GWAS) of asthma in MCCAS. She has integrated MCCAS into various consortia to better understand the genetic architecture of asthma.

London collaborates extensively with the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study. Through this collaboration, she established the Pulmonary Working Group within the CHARGE Consortium to study pulmonary function and related phenotypes in adults using GWAS meta-analysis. This work has led to the discovery of numerous novel loci related to pulmonary function and COPD. Under London's direction, the CHARGE Pulmonary Group recently identified over 50 new lung function loci in a large multi-ethnic meta-analysis. London led the first study of any pulmonary phenotype to include interaction with an environmental factor (smoking) using genome-wide data. London has explored other omic platforms in relation to this phenotype. She lead the first meta-analysis of multi-ethnic population based studies examining metabolomics in relation to pulmonary function. Her group is leading a meta-analysis of Epigenome Wide Association Studies of pulmonary function within the CHARGE consortium.

London collaborates with Norwegian investigators to study early life factors in relation to asthma and allergies within the Norwegian Mother and Child (MoBa) pregnancy cohort. London received funding for a seven-year questionnaire in MoBa to identify asthma and allergies at this age when are more reliably ascertained. To extend her asthma findings in MoBa London developed a substudy of genome wide methylation in newborns using the Illumina 450K platform. Her group published the first study of the effects of any in utero exposure using this platform. This study, now widely replicated, identified numerous novel loci differentially methylated in response to maternal smoking in pregnancy. Motivated by this finding, and as proof of principle for the use of methylation signatures in newborns to identify effects of other in utero exposures and to study potential epigenetic underpinnings of childhood health and disease, London formed an international consortium of birth and childhood cohorts, the Pregnancy and Childhood Epigenetics Consortium (PACE). The first PACE publication combined data on maternal smoking and DNA methylation in offspring from 16 cohorts identifying 6,000 differentially methylated CpGs in newborns, half of them novel and many persisting into childhood.

London also led a larger meta-analysis of personal smoking in adults and methylation in the CHARGE consortium. In a recent publication her group compared methylation signatures from these two meta-analyses and identified genes uniquely differentially methylated in relation to the newborn exposure. Subsequent PACE publications have examined newborn methylation in relation to maternal body mass index during pregnancy, maternal alcohol intake, birthweight, and prenatal air pollution (NO₂ and particulate matter). A recent PACE publication led by London’s group identified numerous loci differentially methylated at birth and childhood in relation to childhood asthma. London co-led a large meta-analysis identifying the extensive newborn methylation signature of gestational age at birth. There are numerous PACE projects underway and the consortium continues to grow.

The Agricultural Lung Health Study, ALHS, is a study of current asthma in over 3,000 individuals nested within the Agricultural Health Study (AHS), a US cohort of farmers and spouses. The study was motivated by questionnaire-based findings from the AHS of associations between farming exposures and asthma and allergies. ALHS included home visits with measurement of pulmonary function, allergic status (specific IgE), exhaled nitric oxide, detailed questionnaire information on respiratory and allergic outcomes and farm exposures across the life-course. In ALHS, early life farm exposures were related to reduced allergy in adults and early life raw milk consumption was related to better adult pulmonary function. House dust endotoxin was related to asthma and to reduced pulmonary in asthmatics. In this study, prior use of carbofuran was associated with development of sleep apnea. Based on 16s sequencing analyses of the microbiota in dust samples from participant bedrooms, her group found specific microbial signatures of current farming exposures including work with crops and farm animals. In ongoing work, her group has identified microbial signatures related to atopy and asthma. Genome-wide genotyping, with 1000Genomes and HRC imputation has been done. Epigenome-wide methylation has been measured using the IlluminaEPIC array. Stored samples on these subjects will enable many future analyses.

London earned a B.A. from Harvard College, an M.D. from Harvard Medical School, an M.P.H in Occupational Health and Dr.P.H. in Epidemiology from the Harvard School of Public Health. She is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and in Occupational Medicine. London was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine at the University of Southern California School of Medicine before coming to NIEHS in 1995. She is currently a Principal Investigator at NIEHS and holds a dual appointment in the Inflammation, Immunity and Disease Laboratory where she leads the Genetic Epidemiology Group which follow-up her findings from genome wide studies of pulmonary function.

Dr. London’s former trainees have gone on to positions in academia, research institutes, contract research organizations, and extramural funding agencies.

Relevance to the NIEHS Mission

Dr. London’s work takes a life-course approach to studying environmental exposures from the prenatal period onwards, genetic and epigenetic factors, and their interactions, in the etiology of respiratory and allergic disease in children and adults. Her work in birth cohorts examines the impact of in utero and early-life exposures on child health and illness. She has delineated clear methylation changes in newborns from maternal smoking in pregnancy, confirmed that these require sustained exposure across pregnancy, and established their usefulness as biomarkers in offspring of exposure during pregnancy. Her maternal smoking work provides a proof of principle for the use of genome-wide methylation data to develop objective biomarkers of smoking and other prenatal exposures that may have more subtle effects.

Her founding of the Pregnancy and Childhood Epigenetics (PACE) Consortium enables well-powered studies of effects of in utero exposures on methylation and of the relationship of methylation patterns at birth with child development and disease. Her work in adults, extends her focus on the interplay of early exposures and genomics to adults. In the Agricultural Lung Health Study, she found that protective effects of early exposures to the farm environment, identified previously for childhood allergic and respiratory outcomes, extend into older adulthood. Her epigenetic studies of smoking and other exposures in adults complement her work in children. Identifying methylation signatures of exposure and disease across the life-course is relevant to the NIEHS strategic goal of characterizing the exposome, and could enhance the discovery of the full range of health impacts of various environmental exposures. Her continuing discovery of novel genetic loci for pulmonary function highlights the importance of fundamental developmental pathways in respiratory health and disease in adults. Her use of mouse models to help identify the specific genes underlying our human GWAS findings and begin to explore mechanisms underlying variability in maximal attained lung growth could lead to new avenues for preventing COPD and maximizing lung health across the entire population.
