Project description:Early surgery is vital in the treatment of highly fatal pancreatic cancer (PC). But there is no valuable and non-invasive biomarker to screen PC currently. Studies showed many salivary molecules can detect several systemic diseases. We aimed to investigate whether salivary microRNAs (miRNAs) can act as a biomarker to detect resectable PC. By Agilent microarray salivary miRNAs were profiled from saliva samples from 8 patients with resectable PC and 8 healthy controls. Candidate biomarkers discovered from the profile were subjected to validation by qPCR.

Project description:Recent studies have reported both mRNA and microRNA (miRNA) in saliva, but little information has been documented on the quality and yield of RNA collected. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to develop an improved RNA isolation method from saliva and to identify major miRNA species in human whole saliva. RNA samples were isolated from normal human saliva using a combined protocol based on the Oragene RNA collection kit and the mirVana miRNA isolation kit in tandem. RNA samples were analyzed for quality and subjected to miRNA array analysis. Twelve representing 6 males and 6 females, were selected for miRNA profiling using the TaqManM-BM-. Low Density Array Card (TLDA) Human miRNA Panel v2.0 (Applied Biosystems). The analysis of expression of the >700 miRNAs was performed by the DNA Core at the Interdisciplinary Center for Biotechnology Research Center at the University of Florida, according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol except the pre-amplification step was omitted. The NormFinder algorithm was used to identify the optimal normalization of miRNA among the 25 most abundantly expressed miRNAs detected.

Project description:In this study, small RNAs were isolated from individual donations of eight forensically relevant biological fluids (blood, semen, vaginal fluid, menstrual blood, saliva, urine, feces, and perspiration) and subjected to next generation sequencing using the Illumina® Hi-Seq platform. Sequencing reads were aligned and annotated against miRbase release 21, resulting in a list of miRNAs and their relative expression levels for each sample analyzed. Body fluids with high bacterial loads (vaginal fluid, saliva, and feces) yielded relatively low annotated miRNA counts, likely due to oversaturation of small RNAs from the endogenous bacteria. Both body-fluid specific and potential normalization miRNAs were identified for further analysis as potential body fluid identification tools for each body fluid. 32 samples - 3-5 replicates of each human biological fluid: venous blood, urine, semen (normal and vasectomized), vaginal secretions, menstrual secretions, perspiration, feces, saliva

Project description:Human saliva has been commonly used as protein source in in vitro microbiological and biological assays to mimic the protein pellicle formation, termed acquired salivary pellicle, that precedes microbial and cell adhesion on surfaces exposed to the oral environment. However, saliva requires previous processing to remove food debris, microorganisms, and other molecules prior its use in microbiological and biological in vitro assays. For this purpose, 0.22 μm filtration, 0.45 μm filtration, and pasteurization methods have been commonly used, but the effect of these processing methods on the proteomic profile of saliva has not been tested experimentally. Stimulated human saliva was collected from 8 healthy volunteers and submitted to the following processes: non-processing (control), 0.22 μm filtration, 0.45 μm filtration, and pasteurization. The proteomic profile of non-processed saliva was compared with 0.22 μm filtered-, 0.45 μm filtered-, and pasteurized-saliva by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The effect of processed saliva in microbial adhesion was tested using bacterial and fungus species, and in biological cell behavior using HaCaT immortalized human keratinocytes. Two hundred seventy-eight proteins were identified in non-processed saliva, 54 proteins (≈19%) were exclusive. Saliva processing reduced identified proteins to 222 (≈80%) for the 0.22 μm filtered saliva, 219 (≈79%) for the 0.45 μm filtered saliva, and 201 (≈72%) for the pasteurized saliva, compared to non-processed saliva. Although there were slight differences in the protein composition, the proteomic profile showed similar molecular functions and biological processes. The different saliva processing methods did not alter microbial adhesion (ANOVA, p>0.05). Interestingly, pasteurized saliva reduced keratinocytes cell viability. Saliva processing methods tested reduced the proteomic profile diversity of saliva, but maintained similar molecular functions and biological processes mediated by remaining proteins, not interfering on microbial adhesion and cell viability, except for pasteurization, which reduced cell viability.

Project description:Human saliva microbiota is phylogenetically divergent among host individuals yet their roles in health and disease are poorly appreciated. We employed a microbial functional gene microarray, HuMiChip 1.0, to reconstruct the global functional profiles of human saliva microbiota from ten healthy and ten caries-active adults. Saliva microbiota in the pilot population featured a vast diversity of functional genes. No significant distinction in gene number or diversity indices was observed between healthy and caries-active microbiota. However, co-presence network analysis of functional genes revealed that caries-active microbiota was more divergent in non-core genes than healthy microbiota, despite both groups exhibited a similar degree of conservation at their respective core genes. Furthermore, functional gene structure of saliva microbiota could potentially distinguish caries-active patients from healthy hosts. Microbial functions such as Diaminopimelate epimerase, Prephenate dehydrogenase, Pyruvate-formate lyase and N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase were significantly linked to caries. Therefore, saliva microbiota carried disease-associated functional signatures, which could be potentially exploited for caries diagnosis. The DMFT INDEX (Decayed, Missing, Filled [DMF] teeth index used in dental epidemiology) values are provided for each sample We employed a microbial functional gene microarray, HuMiChip 1.0, to reconstruct the global functional profiles of human saliva microbiota from ten healthy and ten caries-active adults.

Project description:Exosomes are molecular entities derived from membrane vesicles of endocytic origin secreted by most cell types. These vesicles are implicated in cell-to-cell communication, deliver proteins and mRNA molecules between cells. Recent studies have shown that exosomes are found in body fluids such as saliva, blood, urine, amniotic fluid, malignant ascites, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, synovial fluids and breast milk. Exosomes secreted through human saliva contain mRNA may potentially be useful for diagnostic purposes. Although the exact protective mechanism of saliva RNA is a topic of debate, the consensus is that the enrichment of mRNAs in these nano-vesicles in one of the features of the biomarker discoveries. Our aim was to determine if exosomes are present in human saliva and to nano-characterize their transcriptomic content. Exosomes were purified by differential ultracentrifugation, identified by immunoelectron microscopy, flow cytometry and western blot using a CD-63 antibody. Atomic force microscopy studies revealed ultra structural analysis of both size and density of exosomes. Microarray analysis revealed the presence of 590 mRNA core transcripts are relatively stable inside the exosomes, which can be of saliva mRNA biomarkers. Exosomal mRNA stability was determined by detergent lyses with treatment of RNase. Under in vitro conditions fluorescent dye labeled saliva exosomes were able to communicate between human oral keratinocytes studied by using fluorescence microscopy. The RNA from saliva exosomes can transfer their genetic information to human oral keratinocytes and alters gene expression in the new location. Together, these results suggest that saliva is involved in mRNA trafficking via exosomes, and provides a mechanism for cargoing passenger mRNAs. Our findings are consistent with proposal that exosomes can shuttle RNAs between cells and mRNA is protected inside these vesicles may be a possible resource for biomarker discovery. Experiment Overall Design: Human saliva exosomes were purified through differential centrifugation followed by RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We were able to obtain normal human subjects saliva which are pooled and subjected to ultracentrifugation. The protocol was approved by UCLA Institutional review board. 1 ml of saliva exosomes were used to extract RNA followed by two rounds of amplification by Actorus Amp kit. The amplified RNA was biotin labled and hybridized with Affymetrix protocol.
