Modeling Bronchial Epithelium in Severe Asthma With Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC)

Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Asthma is severe when it cannot be controlled with maximum-dose inhaled therapies while management of comorbidities and other precipitating or aggravating factors has been optimized. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a complex bronchopulmonary disease resulting from immunological reactions against Aspergillus Fumigatus. The development of a model of bronchial epithelium generated from patients with chronic lung disease will allow the modeling of bronchial tissue to understand the formation of these mucus plugs. This study aims to validate this model The investigators propose to verify the feasibility of obtaining and comparing two epithelia in two populations based on the following experiments: Differentiation of an Induced Pluripotent Stem cell (iPSC) clone derived from blood sample (Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells) of Type 2 inflammation (T2) severe asthma and Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) in order to obtain differentiated bronchial epithelia in vitro.

Interventions

OTHER

Blood sample

A blood sample and a nasal brush for each participant. The nasal brushing will allow the isolation of epithelial cells that will serve as a comparison for the bronchial tissue produced from blood-derived iPS. A blood sample of approximately 14 ml will be taken for isolation and freezing of the blood mononuclear cells allowing the generation of iPS.
