In addition to our regular CRI Activities Update, this month\u2019s Research Focus highlights collaborative work from the team of Mike O\u2019Shea, MD, MPH, Chief of the Division of Neonatal and Perinatal Medicine and Rebecca Fry, Ph.D. Professor, Environmental Sciences and Engineering.<\/em><\/p>\n

Activities Update<\/u>: This past month, Kevin Kelly, MD, Toni Darville, MD, Leslie Nelson, and Suzanne Kennedy, PhD, visited the\u00a0UNC Development Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations<\/strong>\u00a0to learn more about how they might assist us in funding collaborative research that benefits children. The Corporate and Foundation Relations team fosters collaborations between UNC and industry and foundations, as well as assists with application submissions to these entities. For this relationship to benefit the CRI optimally, the Corporate and Foundation Relations team wants to learn about our current relationships with foundations and industry, in order to enhance these interactions. We will be reaching out to investigators to start this conversation.<\/p>\n

This summer we secured the\u00a0Bioinformatics Auditorium (room 1131)<\/strong>\u00a0as the location for our\u00a0CRI monthly luncheon seminar series<\/strong>. Wesley Burks, MD, will kick off the series on Thursday, October 5, at 12:15 p.m. Thereafter, the seminars will regularly occur the second Tuesday of every month. The second seminar will be delivered by David Peden, MD, MS, on Tuesday, November 14. Invitations have been and will continue to be sent through Outlook; please check that the invite is on your calendar. This novel format seminar series will start with lunch and a presentation focusing on the investigator\u2019s latest research efforts. This is followed with time for questions and a 20-minute \u201cResearch Development\u201d discussion on building collaborations and securing funding.<\/p>\n

Mary Ellen Jones Renovation Update<\/u>: The builders have relayed that we are still on schedule to have occupancy in the spring of 2019. Construction has begun for the elevated plaza located in the service area between Mary Ellen Jones and Thurston-Bowles.\u00a0 Plaza construction is expected to last through October.<\/p>\n

Research Focus of the Month<\/u>:\u00a0To inform each other of the research interactions in pediatrics, and in the spirit of CRI\u2019s mission to promote collaboration, each CRI update will continue to highlight different investigators\u2019 collaborative efforts. Below is a summary on the collaborative research from Mike O\u2019Shea, MD, MPH, Chief of the Division of Neonatal and Perinatal Medicine and Rebecca Fry, Ph.D. Professor, Environmental Sciences and Engineering.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Mike<\/a>
Mike O’Shea, MD, MPH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Extremely preterm birth is associated with greatly increased risks of neurodevelopmental impairments and potential childhood behavioral problems. Dr. O\u2019Shea is leading the charge at UNC Children\u2019s to delve into factors that affect early childhood development, performing ongoing research into a cohort of children recruited from 2002 to 2004 into the ELGAN (Extremely Low Gestational Age Newborns) study. ELGAN is funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). More than 1,500 premature children from across 14 U.S. hospitals, including NC Children\u2019s Hospital, are enrolled in ELGAN. Dr. O\u2019Shea and his ELGAN collaborators in Boston and Germany have found that recurrent or persistent elevations of inflammation-related proteins (ICAM-3, MPO, IL-6, TNF-RI, IL-8, VEGF-R1, VEGF-R2) detected in two-week postnatal blood were associated with attention problems in children at two years of age.<\/p>\n

Last year, the NIH launched the $150 million Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) initiative to research how environmental exposures affect children\u2019s neurodevelopment, chances of developing obesity and asthma, and overall health. By collaborating with other ECHO cohorts, the ELGAN investigators will extend their studies of relationships among initiators of inflammation, placenta epigenetics, neonatal systemic inflammation, and neurodevelopmental outcomes in the offspring. Their published work points to maternal obesity, fetal growth restriction, and placental microorganisms as important antecedents of neurodevelopmental impairments that operate through epigenetic and\/or inflammatory mechanisms.<\/p>\n

The ELGAN-ECHO study is a prime example of collaboration between basic and clinical science research at UNC. Dr. O\u2019Shea co-led the UNC School of Medicine\u2019s participation in this NIH ECHO initiative with the third phase of the ELGAN study, alongside co-principal investigator Professor Rebecca Fry, PhD, an environmental scientist with the UNC Gillings School of Public Health. This ELGAN-ECHO study will continue to follow the ELGAN cohort to investigate how the placenta senses and transmits information about environmental exposures to the fetus. The study also examines how these exposures lead to early inflammation and affect health later. The children participating in the ELGAN-ECHO study had assessments at 10 years of age (N=889, 81%) and will continue to be evaluated until the age of 18 across psychiatric, cognitive, and neurological health.<\/p>\n

Dr. O\u2019Shea brings a wealth of experience in perinatal epidemiology and neurodevelopmental outcomes to the study, while Dr. Fry brings a deep background in epigenetics and systems biology. A recent highlight of their combined efforts is a publication on sex-dependent epigenetic patterning in the placenta. They found differences in methylation patterns of DNA for the innate immune protein Toll-Like Receptors (TLR) 7 and 8. Compared to females, in males TLR7 is hypermethylated while TLR8 is hypomethylated. This may contribute to differential susceptibility to environmental exposures in utero.<\/p>\n

Other key collaborators are Karl Kuban (principal investigator for the second phase of the ELGAN Study, Boston Medical Center); Robert Joseph (developmental and cognitive psychologist, Boston University); Jean Frazier (child psychiatrist, University of Massachusetts); Hernan Jara (MRI physicist, Boston Medical Center); Laurie Douglass (child neurologist, Boston Medical Center); Steve Hooper (developmental psychologist, UNC), Julie Daniels (epidemiologist, UNC), Eliana Perrin (pediatrician and child obesity expert, Duke University), Tim Heeren (biostatistician, Boston University), and Matt Psioda (biostatistician, UNC School of Public Health).<\/p>\n
