Abstract

Background

The upper-airway microbiome is involved in asthma exacerbations despite inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment. Although human genetics regulates microbiome composition, its influence on asthma-related airway bacteria remains unknown.

Objective

We sought to identify genes and biological pathways regulating airway-microbiome traits involved in asthma exacerbations and ICS response.

Methods

Saliva, nasal, and pharyngeal samples from 257 European patients with asthma were analyzed. The association of 6,296,951 genetic variants with exacerbation-related microbiome traits despite ICS treatment was tested through microbiome genome-wide association studies. Variants with 1 × 10⁻⁴ < P < 1 × 10⁻⁶ were examined in gene-set enrichment analyses. Significant results were sought for replication in 114 African American and 158 Latino children with and without asthma. ICS-response–associated single nucleotide polymorphisms reported in the literature were evaluated as microbiome quantitative trait loci. Multiple comparisons were adjusted by the false discovery rate.

Results

Genes associated with exacerbation-related airway-microbiome traits were enriched in asthma comorbidities development (ie, reflux esophagitis, obesity, and smoking), and were likely regulated by trichostatin A and the nuclear factor-κB, the glucocorticosteroid receptor, and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein transcription factors (7.8 × 10⁻¹³ ≤ false discovery rate ≤ 0.022). Enrichment in smoking, trichostatin A, nuclear factor-κB, and glucocorticosteroid receptor were replicated in the saliva samples from diverse populations (4.42 × 10⁻⁹ ≤ P ≤ .008). The ICS-response–associated single nucleotide polymorphisms rs5995653 (APOBEC3B-APOBEC3C), rs6467778 (TRIM24), and rs5752429 (TPST2) were identified as microbiome quantitative trait loci of Streptococcus, Tannerella, and Campylobacter in the upper airway (0.027 ≤ false discovery rate ≤ 0.050).

Conclusions

Genes associated with asthma exacerbation–related microbiome traits might influence asthma comorbidities. We reinforced the therapeutic interest of trichostatin A, nuclear factor-κB, the glucocorticosteroid receptor, and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein in asthma exacerbations.
