Project description:Epstein Barr virus causes linfectious mononucleosis and establishes lifelong infection associated with cancer and autoimmune disease. To better understand immunity to EBV, we performed a prospective study of natural infection in healthy humans. These anlyses were undertaken in order to determine what gene expression changes occur as the result of primary Epstein Barr virus infection. Samples were taken both before and following acquisition of the virus for direct comparison of samples for single subjects. These data provide an important first description of the response to natural herepesvirus infection in humans. PBMC were taken before acquisition of EBV, during acute infection, and during latency

Project description:The generation of CD8+ T-cell memory is an important aim of immunization. While several distinct subsets of CD8+ T-cell memory have been described, the lineage relationships between effector (EFF), effector memory (EM) and central memory (CM) T cells remain contentious. Specifically, there is contradictory experimental evidence to support both the linear (Naive>EFF>EM>CM) and progressive differentiation (Naive>CM>EM>EFF) models. In this study, we applied a systems biology approach to examine global transcriptional relationships between the three major CD8+ T cell subsets arising endogenously as a result of vaccination with three different prime-boost vaccine regimens. Differential gene expression analysis and principle component analysis revealed that central memory cells were more closely related to naive T cells than both effector memory and effector cells. When the transcriptional relationships between subsets were enriched in an unbiased fashion with known global transcriptional changes that result when T-cells repeatedly encounter antigen, our analysis favored a model whereby cumulative antigenic stimulation drives differentiation specifically from Naive > CM > EM > EFF. These findings provide an insight into the lineage relationship between mature CD8+ T-cell subsets and will help in the rational design of vaccines aimed at generating effective immune responses against infections and cancer. Effector (EFF), effector memory (EM), central memory (CM) and naive CD8+ T cells from mice spleen. Memory subset arise endogenously as a result of vaccination with three different prime-boost vaccine regimens: DNA-rAd5, rAd5-rAd5 and rAd5-rLCMV.

Project description:Human articular chondrocytes were isolated from normal or osteoarthritic tissue. RNA decay was measured across the transcriptome in these cells by microarray analysis following an actinomycin D chase for 0, 1, 3 and 5 hours. Normalisation was conducted by quantile normalising each set of four decay curve points (i.e. 0, 1, 3 and 5 hour samples for a given donor's cells) independently of the other data. This meant that each decay curve is normalised independently of the others.

Project description:Physiologically relevant cellular models are critical for understanding complex pathological processes. Parkinsonâs disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor and non-motor symptoms. Several cellular models for PD have been developed to reproduce the abberant biochemical pathways associated with Parkinsonâs disease such as oxidative stress, apoptosis, improper clearance of misfolded proteins and mitochondrial impairment. However, there is still a need for models that effectively recapitulate pathological phenotypes of PD. We previously reported that cells derived from the olfactory epithelium of idiopathic PD patients have altered cellular functions compared with age and gender-matched healthy controls. We also identified an underlying dysregulation of molecular pathways including the Nrf2 pathway in PD hONS cells. Here, we tested the hypothesis that hONS cells derived from PD patients are more vulnerable to extrinsic stressors. We identified that PD-hONS cells are particularly sensitive to mitochondrial and oxidative stress. Notably, PD hONS cells exposed to Rotenone undergo significant apoptosis, show reduced mitochondrial complex I activity and reduced induction of Heat Shock Protein HSP27.

Project description:Elucidating the role of gut microbiota in physiological and pathological processes has recently emerged as a key research aim in life sciences. In this respect, metaproteomics (the study of the whole protein complement of a microbial community) can provide a unique contribution by revealing which functions are actually being expressed by specific microbial taxa. However, its wide application to gut microbiota research has been hindered by challenges in data analysis, especially related to the choice of the proper sequence databases for protein identification. Here we present a systematic investigation of variables concerning database construction and annotation, and evaluate their impact on human and mouse gut metaproteomic results. We found that both publicly available and experimental metagenomic databases lead to the identification of unique peptide assortments, suggesting parallel database searches as a mean to gain more complete information. Taxonomic and functional results were revealed to be strongly database-dependent, especially when dealing with mouse samples. As a striking example, in mouse the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio varied up to 10-fold depending on the database used. Finally, we provide recommendations regarding metagenomic sequence processing aimed at maximizing gut metaproteome characterization, and contribute to identify an optimized pipeline for metaproteomic data analysis.

Project description:The self-renewing pluripotent state was first captured in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) over two decades ago. The standard condition requires the presence of serum and LIF, which provide growth promoting signals for cell expansion. However, there are pro-differentiation signals which destabilize the undifferentiated state of mESCs. The dual inhibition (2i) of the pro-differentiation Mek/Erk and Gsk3/Tcf3 pathways in mESCs is sufficient to establish an enhanced pluripotent “ground state” which bears features resembling the pre-implantation mouse epiblast. Gsk3 inhibition alleviates the repression of Esrrb, a transcription factor that can substitute for Nanog function in mESCs. The molecular mechanism that is mediated by Mek inhibition is however not clear. In this study, we investigate the pathway through which Mek inhibition operates to maintain ground state pluripotency. We have found that in mESCs, Kruppel-like factor 2 (Klf2) is a protein target of the Mek/Erk pathway; and that Klf2 protein is phosphorylated by Erk2 and subsequently degraded through the proteosome. It is therefore by Mek-inhibition through PD0325901 or 2i that enables the stabilization and accumulation of Klf2 to sustain ground state pluripotency. Importantly, we found that Klf2-null mESCs, while viable under LIF/Serum conditions, cannot be maintained and eventually gradually die within a few passages. Our result thus demonstrates that Klf2 is an essential factor of ground state pluripotency. Collectively, our study defines the Mek/Klf2 axis that cooperates with the Gsk3/Esrrb pathway in mediating ground state pluripotency.
