Microarray-based gene expression profiling in patients with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes defines a disease-related signature and IL-1-responsive transcripts.

ABSTRACT: To analyse gene expression patterns and to define a specific gene expression signature in patients with the severe end of the spectrum of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS). The molecular consequences of interleukin 1 inhibition were examined by comparing gene expression patterns in 16 CAPS patients before and after treatment with anakinra. Many DEG include transcripts related to the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses, oxidative stress, cell death, cell adhesion and motility. A set of gene expression-based models comprising the CAPS-specific gene expression signature correctly classified all 17 samples from an independent dataset. This classifier also correctly identified 15 of 16 post-anakinra CAPS samples despite the fact that these CAPS patients were in clinical remission. We identified a gene expression signature that clearly distinguished CAPS patients from controls. A number of DEG were in common with other systemic inflammatory diseases such as systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The CAPS-specific gene expression classifiers also suggest incomplete suppression of inflammation at low doses of anakinra. We collected peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 23 CAPS patients with active disease and from 14 healthy children. Transcripts that passed stringent filtering criteria (p values ≤ false discovery rate 1%) were considered as differentially expressed genes (DEG). A set of DEG was validated by quantitative reverse transcription PCR and functional studies with primary cells from CAPS patients and healthy controls. We used 17 CAPS and 43 non-CAPS patient samples to create a set of gene expression models that differentiates CAPS patients from controls and from patients with other autoinflammatory conditions.

Project description:Melanoma recurrence frequently occurs after a latency period of several years. In vivo studies demonstrated that tumor cells overcoming latency show a T cell-edited phenotype, suggesting a relevant role for CD8+ T cells in maintaining metastatic latency. Here, in a patient model of multiple recurrent lesions, we illustrate the genetic evolution of poorly immunogenic melanoma phenotypes, evolving in the presence of autologous tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. Melanoma cells from two of three late recurrent metastases, developing within a 6-year latency period, lacked HLA class I expression. HLA class I-negative tumor cells became clinically apparent 1.5 and 6 years into stage IV disease. Genome profiling by SNP arrays revealed total T-cell resistance in both metastases originating from a shared chromosome 15q alteration and independently acquired focal B2M gene deletions. A third HLA class I-positive lesion developed in year 3 of stage IV disease. By HLA haplotype loss lesion-derived melanoma cells acquired resistance towards dominant T-cell clonotypes targeting early stage III tumor cells. Early disease melanoma cells showed a dedifferentiated MITFnegative phenotype, recently described to be associated with immunosuppression, in contrast to the MITFhigh phenotype of T cell-edited tumor cells from late metastases. In summary, our study demonstrates that tumor recurrences after long-term latency develop towards T-cell resistance by independent genetic events, suggesting a mechanism of T cell-driven genetic evolution of melanoma as a means to evade immune recognition and tumor immunotherapy. Genetic alterations lead to loss of tumor antigen presentation. Cell lines were generated from tumor material, differences in T cell recognition were observed and Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from the cell lines. SNP analysis of different melanoma cell lines obtained from one melanoma patient (4 cell lines from different metastasis of one patient with matching germline DNA).

Project description:Purpose: Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) to assess copy number variation (CNV) content is now used as a first tier genetic diagnostic test for individuals with unexplained neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) or multiple congenital anomalies (MCA). Over 100 cytogenetic labs worldwide are using the Affymetrix CytoScan HD 2.7M array to genotype >15,000 clinical samples per month. The aim of this study is to develop a CNV resource from a population control cohort that can be used as a community resource for interpretation of clinical and research samples. Methods: We have genotyped a large population control set (1,000 individuals from our Ontario Population Genomics Platform (OPGP)) using the Affymetrix CytoScan HD microarray comprising 2.7 million probes. Four independent algorithms were applied to detect and assess high confidence CNVs. Reproducibility and validations were quantified using sample replicates and Quantitative-PCR (QPCR), respectively. Results: DNA from 873 individuals from the OPGP cohort passed quality control and we have identified 71,178 CNVs (81 CNVs/individual) distributed across 796 different cytogenetic regions in the genome; 9.8% of the CNVs were previously unreported. After applying three layers of filtering criteria, from our high confidence CNVs dataset, we obtained a >95% reproducibility and >90% validation rate. Due to the array's high probe density within genic regions, our high confidence CNV data set show 73% of the detected CNVs overlapped at least one gene. Conclusion: The genotype data and annotated CNVs presented in this study will represent a valuable public resource enabling clinical genetics research and diagnostics. For array quality control, CEL files were processed using modules from the Affymetrix power tools and genotypes were extracted from the CHP file. Samples passing the median of the absolute pairwise differences (MAPD) < 0.20 and waviness-sd < 0.11 were retained for further analysis. After multiple checks, we excluded 52 samples that do not meet quality control (QC) cutoffs. To confirm the sample's self-reported gender, we have matched the sex chromosome information from the array and identified six samples with gender mismatch, which were excluded from the analysis. We also excluded 47 samples due to excessive CNV calls. A final set of 895 samples were used for further analysis. This number included 22 sample replicates (indicated by _1 following the Sample title), which were used to determine reproducibility of the array calls. The CNV data for this study is available from dbVar (NCBI), DGVa (EBI) accession number estd212, and DGV.
