PROJECT SUMMARY Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease in the general population. AD is associated with defective skin barrier function, microbial and viral dysbiosis, as well as various cutaneous immune abnormalities including type 2 inflammation and decreased cutaneous host defense. The Atopic Dermatitis Research Network-Leadership Center (ADRN-LC) provides that scientific strategy and organizational structure to elucidate mechanisms of skin barrier dysfunction, cutaneous immune responses, and viral determinants of atopic dermatitis (AD). An emerging virus with potential direct implications to AD and other allergic diseases is SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus which causes COVID-19 illnesses, which are rapidly affecting humans around the globe. While initial epidemiological data have focused on cases that resulted in severe respiratory disease seen predominantly in adults, little information regarding the infection burden in children is available. This is complicated by the observation that many children experience asymptomatic infections. Undocumented, and likely infectious, cases could result in exposure to a far greater proportion of the community than would otherwise occur. Indeed, it has been proposed that undocumented (or silent) infections are the source for almost 80% of documented infections; thus, it is critical to determine the silent and symptomatic infection rate in children and to understand why they develop less severe or asymptomatic disease. To overcome challenges for clinical study implementation imposed by current healthcare access restrictions, this surveillance study will enroll and prospectively observe eligible children that are current participants in NIH-funded pediatric research studies and their family members. We will collect nasal swabs from all subjects in 2 week intervals for a 4 month period, again at 6 months, and during respiratory illnesses. Our group will act as the laboratory processing and analysis site for the study. We will extract DNA/RNA from all swabs and perform a qPCR assay test for the SARS-Cov-2 virus. This will allow us to determine the incidence of the SARS-Cov-2 in the U.S. population and how it varies between children and adults, and those with asthma and other lung diseases. Secondly, we will perform Dual RNA-seq on RNA from nasal swabs to determine the host epithelial and immune cell response to infection with SARS-Cov-2 and COVID-19 respiratory illnesses. This data will also allow us to identify different strains of the SARS-Cov-2 virus circulating in the U.S., their geographical distribution, and how these strains relate to COVID-19 illness severity.

项目摘要 特应性皮炎（AD）是普通人群中最常见的慢性炎症性皮肤病。AD是 与缺陷的皮肤屏障功能、微生物和病毒生态失调以及各种皮肤疾病相关。 免疫异常，包括2型炎症和皮肤宿主防御降低。特应性 Derivative Research Network-Leadership Center（ADRN-LC）提供了科学的战略， 组织结构来阐明皮肤屏障功能障碍，皮肤免疫应答， 和特应性皮炎（AD）的病毒决定因素。一种可能直接影响AD的新病毒 和其他过敏性疾病是SARS-CoV-2。SARS-CoV-2是导致COVID-19疾病的病毒， 正在迅速影响着地球仪的人类。虽然最初的流行病学数据集中在病例 导致严重的呼吸道疾病，主要见于成人，关于感染的信息很少 儿童的负担是可以接受的。这是复杂的观察，许多儿童的经验， 无症状感染者。未经记录的，可能具有传染性的病例可能会导致接触到更大的 社会的比例，否则会发生。事实上，有人提出，无证（或 无症状）感染是近80%记录感染的来源;因此，确定 为了了解儿童无症状和有症状感染率，并了解为什么他们发展得不那么严重， 无症状的疾病。为了克服当前临床研究实施的挑战， 由于医疗保健准入限制，这项监测研究将招募并前瞻性观察符合条件的儿童， 是NIH资助的儿科研究的当前参与者及其家庭成员。我们将收集鼻 所有受试者的拭子，每隔2周采集一次，持续4个月，在6个月时再次采集， 疾病。我们的团队将作为本研究的实验室处理和分析中心。我们将提取 所有拭子的DNA/RNA，并对SARS-Cov-2病毒进行qPCR检测。这将使我们能够 确定SARS-Cov-2在美国人口中的发病率以及儿童和 成年人，以及患有哮喘和其他肺部疾病的人。其次，我们将对来自 鼻拭子，以确定宿主上皮细胞和免疫细胞对SARS-Cov-2感染的反应， COVID-19呼吸道疾病。这些数据还将使我们能够识别SARS-Cov-2病毒的不同毒株 在美国流传，它们的地理分布，以及这些菌株与COVID-19疾病严重程度的关系。
