Project description:Following combined stimulation through Toll-like receptor (TLR)-9 and the B-cell receptor (BCR), human B cells were sorted based on IL-10 expression. Microarray analysis showed that just ~0.7% of genes were differentially expressed between IL-10- and IL-10+ B-cells. However, connectivity map analysis revelaed that the IL-10+ cells were those undergoing differentiation to germincal centre B cells, and we identified a CD11c- B-cell subset that was enriched in cells capable of producing IL-10 B-cells were isolated using the Dynabeads Untouched Human B-cells kit, stimulated during 48 hours and then sorted based on IL-10 using secretion assay kit and cell sorter.

Project description:While blood transcriptional profiling has improved diagnosis and understanding of disease pathogenesis of adult tuberculosis (TB), no studies applying gene expression profiling of children with TB have been described so far. In this study, we have compared whole blood gene expression in childhood TB patients, as well as in healthy latently infected (LTBI) and uninfected (HC) children in a cohort of Warao Amerindians in the Delta Amacuro in Venezuela. We identified a 116-gene signature set by means of random forest analysis that showed an average prediction error of 11% for TB vs. LTBI and for TB vs. LTBI vs. HC in our dataset. Furthermore, a minimal set of only 9 genes showed a significant predictive value for all previously published adult studies using whole blood gene expression, with average prediction errors between 17% and 23%. Additionally, a minimal gene set of 42 genes with a comparable predictive value to the 116-gene set in both our dataset and the previously published literature cohorts for the comparsion of TB vs. LTBI vs. HC was identified. In order to identify a robust representative gene set that would hold stand among different ethnic populations, we selected ten genes that were highly discriminative between TB, LTBI and HC in all literature datasets as well as in our dataset. Functional annotation of these ten genes highlights a possible role for genes involved in calcium signaling and calcium metabolism as biomarkers for active TB. These ten genes were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in an additional cohort of 54 Warao Amerindian children with LTBI, HC and non-TB pneumonia. Decision tree analysis indicated that five of the ten genes were sufficient to diagnose 78% of the TB cases correctly with 100% specificity. We conclude that our data justify the further exploration of our signature set as biomarkers to diagnose childhood TB. Furthermore, as the identification of different biomarkers in ethnically distinct cohorts is apparent, it is important to cross-validate newly identified markers in all available cohorts. In this study, 27 children 1 to 15 years of age with TB (n=9), LTBI (n=9) and HC (n=9) were recruited between May 2010 and December 2010. Tuberculin skin test (TST) and QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube assay (QFT-GIT) were performed on all children. A sputum sample was collected from all children with expectoration and a gastric aspirate was taken from all children under 6 years of age. Children with active TB were diagnosed based on culture of M. tuberculosis (n=2) or on the basis of clinical, epidemiological and radiological features (n=7). The latter group were children with a TST = 10 mm or a positive QFT-GIT result who presented all of: persistent fever >38M-BM-0C objectively recorded daily for at least two weeks, persistent cough for more than three weeks, weight loss (>5% reduction in weight compared with the highest weight recorded in last three months) or failure to thrive (documented crossing of percentile lines in the preceding three months), persistent lethargy or decrease in playfulness/activity reported by the parent and absence of clinical response on broad-spectrum antibiotics. Standard antero-posterior and lateral chest radiographs (CXRs) were taken from all children. Two independent experts, blinded to all clinical information, evaluated the CXRs and documented their findings on a standard report form. Where the two objective experts disagreed, a third expert was consulted and final consensus was achieved. A diagnosis of TB was only made when the CXR was consistent with TB9 and the child showed a positive clinical response to anti-TB treatment. Children were followed up clinically, radiologically and, in case of a negative TST at inclusion, by means of TST at six and 12 months after inclusion. LTBI was defined as a TST = 10mm and a positive QFT-GIT with a negative culture result on inclusion in the absence of radiological and clinical evidence of TB disease on inclusion as well as on t=6 and t=12 months. HC were children with a TST = 0 mm at inclusion and at t=6 and t=12 months. The HC had a negative QFT-GIT and a negative culture result at inclusion without radiological or clinical evidence of TB disease on inclusion nor on t=6 and t=12 months. TB patients were sampled before initiation of anti-TB treatment. Of three of the nine TB patients, a follow-up sample was taken when the patient was in anti-TB treatment for five months. All children were HIV-negative. 27 samples in total where analyzed, active TB infection (TB, n=9), Latent TB infection (LTBI, n=9) and healthy controls (HC, n=9) . Gene expression values were log2-transformed and differentially expressed genes were identified based on log2 fold changes (M-values). P values were calculated with a Bayes-regularized one-way ANOVA. Random Forest recursive feature elimination was used to find a signature geneset capable of discrimination active TB from latent TB and from non-infected individuals.

Project description:The Integrator Complex (IC) is responsible for the 3'-end processing of the U1/U2 major spliceosome snRNAs. Maturation of these snRNAs is essential for the proper function of the major spliceosome. Also, there is accumulating evidence that the IC is necessary for normal vertebrate development, however no association with human disease has been reported yet. Three siblings presented with severe intellectual disability, cerebellar hypoplasia and periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH) of unknown cause. Using whole genome sequencing (Complete Genomics), and filtering for recessive inheritance, we discovered co-segregating compound heterozygous mutations in Integrator Complex Subunit 8 (INTS8) in the three sibs. QRT-PCR showed 2-fold decreased INTS8 RNA levels and in patients’ fibroblasts lower levels of the catalytic subunits INTS4, INTS9 and INTS11 were observed on western blots, indicating that the integrity of the complex is disrupted. Northern blots showed significantly misprocessed levels of U1, U2 and U4. Pathway analysis (DAVID) of expression data (Affymetrix Gene Chip 1.0 ST exon arrays) of RNA extracted from patient fibroblasts showed enrichment of deregulated genes involved in mRNA splicing and posttranscriptional modification. Expression data of (developing) human brain structures (Allen Brain Atlas) show that expression of INTS8 peaks prenatally, especially in the ganglionic eminences, (sub)ventricular zone and hindbrain, similar to the developmental expression in mouse embryo (Emage databse). Interestingly, neuronal precursors from these areas migrate to the cortex and are compatible to affected regions in PNH and cerebellar hypoplasia in the patients. We propose that dysfunction of the Integrator Complex, through snRNA misprocessing and spliceosomal defects, leads to severely disrupted brain development in humans. We used RNA isolated from human cultured fibroblasts, cell-lines were obtained from 3 individuals with INTS8 mutations and from 3 unaffected individuals. R,Oegema Six Affymetrix Gene Chip 1.0 ST exon arrays (patients: 04RD83, 83RD247, 04RD84 ; controls: 81RD193, GMO2037C, 86RD677) were rma normalized on transcript level using the R package oligo (http://www.r-project.org). Top down regulated (n=402) or up regulated (n=281) genes with p values <0.02 were analyzed for enriched gene ontology terms (goterms_BP_all) using DAVID (medium stringency)(down: 329 DAVID IDs, up: 225 DAVID IDs).

Project description:Emerging evidence suggests that tumor cells metastasize by co-opting stem cell transcriptional networks, although the molecular underpinnings of this process are poorly understood. Here, we show for the first time that the high mobility group A1 (HMGA1) gene drives metastatic progression in triple negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) by reprogramming cancer cells to a stem-like state. We discovered an HMGA1 signature in triple negative breast cancer cells that is highly enriched in embryonic stem cells. Together, these findings indicate that HMGA1 is a master regulator of tumor progression in breast cancer by reprogramming cancer cells through stem cell transcriptional networks. Future studies are needed to determine how to target HMGA1 in therapy. HMGA1 was knocked-down in MDA-MB-231 cells using siRNA as we previously described (Tesfaye A 2007). RNA from three independent knockdown experiements along with 3 control populations were collected by Rneasy miniprep (Qiagen) and analyzed by Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform.
