Project description:Blood transcriptional signatures may discriminate individuals with tuberculosis (TB) from disease-free controls, or from patients with other infectious or respiratory diseases. To systematically evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of published transcriptional signatures in a clinically relevant population with high burden of TB and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), adults presenting for investigation of possible pulmonary TB were consecutively recruited at a TB clinic in South Africa. At enrolment, peripheral blood was collected in Tempus tubes (for RNA sequencing) and patients provided two sputum samples (for Xpert and liquid culture). Amongst 181 patients (median age 35 years), 44 (24%) were infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). 54 patients (30%) were diagnosed with Xpert- or culture-positive TB. No alternate diagnoses were available for Xpert- and culture-negative non-TB patients.

Project description:People with diabetes are more likely to develop tuberculosis (TB) and to have poor TB treatment outcomes than those without. We previously showed that blood transcriptomes in people with TB-diabetes (TB-DM) co-morbidity have excessive inflammatory and reduced interferon responses at TB diagnosis. It is unknown whether this persists through treatment, potentially underlying adverse outcomes. Methods Pulmonary TB patients were recruited in South Africa, Indonesia and Romania, and classified as having TB-DM, TB with prediabetes, TB-related hyperglycaemia or uncomplicated TB, based on glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) concentration at TB diagnosis and after 6 months of TB treatment. Gene expression in blood samples collected at diagnosis and at regular intervals throughout treatment was measured by unbiased RNA-Seq and targeted Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification. Results Gene expression was modulated by TB treatment in all groups but to different extents, such that differences remained in people with TB-DM relative to TB-only throughout, including genes involved in innate responses, anti-microbial immunity and the inflammasome. People with prediabetes or with TB-related hyperglycaemia had gene expression more similar to people with TB-DM than TB-only throughout treatment. The overall pattern of change was similar across clinical groups irrespective of glycaemic index, permitting models predictive of TB treatment to be developed. Conclusions The exacerbated transcriptome changes seen in TB-DM take longer to resolve during TB treatment, indicating that prolonged treatment or host-directed therapy may be needed to improve TB treatment outcomes. Development of transcriptome-based biomarker signatures of TB-treatment response should include people with diabetes to be useful across populations.

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world’s major infectious diseases affecting nations with limited public health resources. Multidrug resistance development has seriously compromised therapeutic treatment choices. The pathology of latent TB shows evidence of a reservoir of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in the lungs of affected individuals. If the pathogen is contained by the immune system, no overt disease symptoms occur. The environmental and internal triggers leading to disease reactivation are not well understood. Proteomic investigations of blood plasma and sputum derived from subjects with active TB versus latent TB versus healthy individuals may yield new biomarkers and, when surveying larger longitudinally monitored cohorts, may discriminate infection outcomes in an endemic setting.

Project description:Globally, the anti-tuberculosis (TB) treatment success rate is approximately 85%, with treatment failure, relapse and death occurring in a significant proportion of pulmonary TB patients. Treatment success rates are lower among people with diabetes mellitus (DM). Predicting treatment failure early after diagnosis would allow early treatment adaptation and may improve global TB control. Methods Samples were collected in a longitudinal cohort study of adult TB patients with or without concomitant DM from South Africa and Indonesia to characterize whole blood transcriptional profiles before and during anti-TB treatment, using unbiased RNA-Seq and targeted gene dcRT-MLPA. Findings We report differences in whole blood transcriptome profiles between patients with a good versus poor anti-TB treatment outcome, which were observed before initiation of treatment and throughout treatment. An eight-gene and 22-gene blood transcriptional signatures distinguished patients with a good treatment outcome from patients with a poor treatment outcome at diagnosis (AUC=0·815) or two weeks (AUC=0·834) after initiation of anti-TB treatment, respectively. Importantly, high accuracy was obtained by cross-validating this signature in an external cohort (AUC=0·749). Interpretation These findings suggest that transcriptional profiles can be used as a prognostic biomarker for treatment failure and success, even in patients with concomitant DM.

Project description:This series regroups different datasets (training set, test set, validation set, longitudinal set, separated cell set) to identify and characterise a specific transcriptional signature for patients with active TB, distinct from patients with latent TB and healthy controls. The training set dataset was used to identify a whole blood transcriptional signature for active TB patients in London, across a range of ethnicity. This signature was then validated in an independent cohort of patients, also recruited in London (the test set), and then further confirmed in an additional independent cohort recruited in Cape Town, South Africa (validation set), in order to confirm that the defined signature was present in both high (Cape Town, South Africa) and medium incidence regions (London, UK). The longitudinal dataset was then used to explore how successful TB treatment modifies this transcriptional signature. The separated cell set compares the transcriptional profiles in purified cell subsets (neutrophils, monocytes and T cells) to assess which cell types are contributing to the whole blood signature, and in what way. These studies may ultimately help to improve the diagnosis of active tuberculosis which normally relies on culture of the bacilli, which can take up to 6 weeks, and sometimes the bacilli cannot be obtained from sputum thus requiring invasive techniques such as bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). In some cases (30%) the bacill cannot be grown from sputum or BAL. Any diagnostic tool would need to be valid across a range of ethnicities, and be valid in both high and low incidence countries. A further aim was to determine whether latent TB patients have a distinct homogeneous or heterogeneous signature, since it is not currently possible to determine using present tests (Tuberculin skin test - TST - or MTb antigen responsiveness of blood cells to produce IFN-gamma - IGRA assay) whether the mycobacteria have been cleared, are still present but are controlled by an active immune response, or to predict which patients will develop active TB. Defining heterogeneity in the latent TB patients would be an important step in developing diagnostics which could detect those most at risk of developing active TB, and thus enable targeted preventive therapy. The latter situation may be determined if Latent patients have a blood transcriptional signature similar to that in Active patients. The transcriptional signature in whole blood and cell subsets from Active TB patients may also provide information as to the factors leading to immunopathogenesis, thus possibly identifying therapeutic targets. The transcriptional profile in latent TB may give information regarding protective factors controlling the infection, important for vaccine development. Finally, definition of a transcriptional signature which responds to therapy could facilitate the development of surrogate biomarkers for drug or vaccine studies. Since any active TB signature may reflect common inflammatory responses evoked during many diseases, we also performed analysis of significance, comparing transcriptional profiles from patients with TB to those from patients with other bacterial and inflammatory diseases to identify a TB specific signature. The resulting signature was then tested against patients normalized to their own controls from 7 independent datasets: TB (Training and Validation Sets), Staphylococcus infection, Group A Streptococcus infection, Still's disease, and adult and pediatric SLE. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE19435: Transcriptional profiles in Blood of patients with Tuberculosis - Longitudinal Study GSE19439: Blood Transcriptional Profiles in Active and Latent Tuberculosis UK (Training Set) GSE19442: Blood Transcriptional Profiles of TB in South Africa GSE19443: Blood Transcriptional Profiles of Active TB (UK Test Set Separated) GSE19444: Blood Transcriptional Profiles of Active and Latent TB (UK Test Set) GSE22098: Whole blood transcriptional profiles of patients with active tuberculosis (TB) and other inflammatory and infectious diseases Active Pulmonary TB: PTB - All patients were confirmed by isolation of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis on culture of sputum or bronchoalvelolar lavage fluid. Latent TB: LTB - All patients were screened at a tuberculosis clinic, being either new entrants to the UK from endemic countries or being household contacts of infectious cases, or in the case of the validation set recruited in South Africa, were residents of a high incidence country. All UK patients were positive by tuberculin skin test (>14mm if BCG vaccinated, >5mm if not vaccinated) and were also positive by Interferon-Gamma Release assay(IGRA); specifically Quantiferon Gold In-Tube Assay (Cellestis, Australia). The South African latent TB patients were all positive by Interferon-Gamma Release assay (IGRA); specifically Quantiferon Gold In-Tube Assay. Latent patients had no clinical, radiological or microbiological evidence of active infection and were asymptomatic. Healthy controls - these were volunteers without exposure to TB who were negative by both tuberculin skin test (<15mm if BCG vaccinated, <6mm if unvaccinated); and IGRA (as described above). Experimental variables : Patient group: Active PTB; Latent TB, Healthy controls (BCG vaccinated and unvaccinated). Ethnicity - a wide range of ethnic groups is represented. The active PTB group incorporates a range of smear positive and smear negative disease and a spectrum of disease extent/severity. Experimental methods: Whole blood was collected into Tempus tubes (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) and stored between -20degrees Celsius and -80 degrees Celsius before RNA extraction. For the training set cohort, and the active TB patients baseline samples in the longitudinal cohort, total RNA was isolated from whole blood using the PerfectPure RNA Blood kit (5 PRIME Inc, Gaithersburg, MD, USA). For the separated cell samples, total RNA was isolated using the Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit. For all other cohorts Total RNA was isolated from whole blood using the MagMAX 96 well RNA isolation kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). Isolated total RNA was then globin reduced using the GLOBINclear 96-well format kit (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Total and globin-reduced RNA integrity was assessed using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Palo Alto, CA). Biotinylated, amplified RNA targets (cRNA) were then prepared from the globin-reduced RNA using the Illumina CustomPrep RNA amplification kit (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA). Labeled cRNA was hybridized overnight to Sentrix HT12 V3 BeadChip arrays (>48,000 probes, Illumina Inc, San Diego, CA, USA), washed, blocked, stained and scanned on an Illumina BeadStation 500 following the manufacturer's protocols. Illumina's BeadStudio version 2 software was used to generate signal intensity values from the scans, substract background, and scale each microarray to the median average intensity for all samples (per-chip normalisation). This normalised data was used for all subsequent data analysis.

Project description:Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is a leading cause of infectious death worldwide. Gene-expression microarray studies profiling the blood transcriptional response of tuberculosis (TB) patients have been undertaken in order to better understand the host immune response as well as to identify potential biomarkers of disease. To date most of these studies have focused on pulmonary TB patients with gene-expression profiles of extra-pulmonary TB patients yet to be compared to those of patients with pulmonary TB or sarcoidosis. Methods A novel cohort of patients with extra-pulmonary TB and sarcoidosis was recruited and the transcriptional response of these patients compared to those with pulmonary TB using a variety of transcriptomic approaches including testing a previously defined 380 gene meta-signature of active TB. Results The 380 meta-signature broadly differentiated active TB from healthy controls in this new dataset consisting of pulmonary and extra-pulmonary TB. The top 15 genes from this meta-signature had a lower sensitivity for differentiating extra-pulmonary TB from healthy controls as compared to pulmonary TB. We found the blood transcriptional responses in pulmonary and extra-pulmonary TB to be heterogeneous and to reflect the extent of symptoms of disease. Conclusions The transcriptional signature in extra-pulmonary TB demonstrated heterogeneity of gene expression reflective of symptom status, while the signature of pulmonary TB was distinct, based on a higher proportion of symptomatic individuals. These findings are of importance for the rational design and implementation of mRNA based TB diagnostics.

Project description:Analysis of transcriptional differences between HIV infected persons with evidence of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection by Quantiferon Gold-in-tube, with and without evidence of subclinical TB disease on FDG-PET/CT scan. Tuberculosis is classically divided into two clinical states: latent infection and active disease. One-quarter of the global population is considered latently infected but diagnostic tests poorly predict the small proportion that will progress to disease. We recruited 35 asymptomatic, HIV-1 infected adults with latent TB by current diagnostic criteria, who underwent [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission/computed tomography; ten had pulmonary abnormalities consistent with subclinical disease and were significantly more likely to progress. As positive control, we recruited 15 HIV-1 infected adults with symptomatic microbiologically confirmed active pulmonary TB, age, sex and CD4 matched to the 35 participants undergoing FDG-PET/CT. By whole-blood transcriptomic profiling we characterised 82-transcripts distinguishing those with subclinical pathology from those without. Transcripts representing the classical complement pathway were overabundant in both subclinical and active TB. We have demonstrated that latent TB is not a homogenous condition and defined a distinct high-risk subgroup with evidence of subclinical disease. These findings point the way to the future development of more predictive diagnostic tests.

Project description:Tuberculosis-associated Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (TB-IRIS) is a common complication in HIV-TB co-infected patients receiving combined antiretroviral therapy (cART). While monocytes/macrophages play major roles in both HIV- and TB-infection individually, a putative contribution of monocytes to the development of TB-IRIS remains unexamined. We performed a genome-wide array analysis on MOs purified from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained before initiation of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) to verify whether the transcriptome of MOs was already significantly modulated (even before receiving cART) in HIV+/TB+ patients who later developed TB-IRIS compared to control HIV+/TB+ patients who did not develop the complication . The subjects under study included a subset of 18 TB-IRIS patients and controls matched for age, gender and CD4 count.
