Transcription profiling of human ulcerative colitis samples reveals a predictive response signature to infliximab treatment in ulcerative colitis

ABSTRACT: Infliximab, an anti-TNFa monoclonal antibody, is an effective treatment for ulcerative colitis (UC) inducing over 60% of patients to respond to treatment. Consequently, about 40% of patients do not respond. This study analyzed mucosal gene expression from patients enrolled in ACT1 to provide a predictive response signature for infliximab treatment. Experiment Overall Design: Twenty-two patients underwent colonoscopy with biopsy before infliximab treatment. Response to infliximab was defined as endoscopic and histologic healing at week 8 (P2, 5, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 24, 27, 36, and 45 as responders; P3, 12, 13, 19, 28, 29, 32, 33, 34, and 47 as non-responders). Messenger RNA was isolated from pre-infliximab biopsies, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix HGU133Plus_2.0 Array. The predictive response signature was verified by an independent data set.

<h4>Background and aims</h4>Infliximab is an effective treatment for ulcerative colitis with over 60% of patients responding to treatment and up to 30% reaching remission. The mechanism of resistance to anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFalpha) is unknown. This study used colonic mucosal gene expression to provide a predictive response signature for infliximab treatment in ulcerative colitis.<h4>Methods</h4>Two cohorts of patients who received their first treatment with infliximab for re ...[more]

Project description:Objectives: We monitored the mRNA expression profiles of peripheral blood cells during treatment with a tumor necrosis factor-a inhibitor, infliximab, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Using a DNA microarray analysis, we demonstrated a unique set of genes, with distinct baseline and post-treatment changes in expression between responders and non-responders to infliximab treatment.Methods: Using a customized low-density cDNA microarray and a reliable data collection system, we monitored the mRNA expression profiles of whole blood cells from 18 RA patients before and after the infusion of infliximab for up to 22 weeks. The clinical response to treatment with infliximab was determined using the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) response criteria, the disease activity score of 28 joints (DAS28), and individual clinical parameters. The patients were classified as responders or non-responders based on their ACR50% response at 22 weeks. Results: Approximately 15% of the total genes were found to exhibit a greater than 1.5-fold change, compared to their reference values, at one or more time points during the 22 weeks of infliximab therapy. The expression of inflammatory genes, such as interferon-related genes, was strongly correlated with the serum level of C-reactive protein and the DAS28. The increased expression of inflammatory genes in responders was normalized within 2 weeks and then remained at a normal level during the treatment period. In contrast, in the non-responders, the elevated expression at baseline, although it was significantly decreased at 2 weeks, returned to the baseline level after 14 weeks. In addition to inflammatory genes, we identified several groups of genes with distinct differences in expression between the responders and non-responders.Conclusions: Our results suggest that a customized low-density microarray is useful for monitoring mRNA expression profiles in peripheral blood cells, enabling us to identify a unique set of genes with differentially regulated expressions in responders and non-responders to a TNF inhibitor among patients with RA. Keywords: disease state analysis 18 RA Patients, We have collected blood samples into PAXgene tube systems for microarray measurement from patients as follows, just before first iv-injection of infliximab, 2 weeks, 14 weeks, and 22 weeks after first infliximab injection.
