Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem and we lack a comprehensive understanding of how Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) infection impacts host immune responses. We compared, at two timepoints, the induced immune response to TB antigen, BCG and IL-1β stimulation between latently M. tb infected individuals (LTBI) and active TB patients. The immune response was stimulated using the TruCulture system with the corresponding stimulations: TB antigen, BCG, 1L1b, and the Nanostring platform was used to assess the gene expression profiles of the samples. The Nanostring platform was used to evaluate the gene expression

Project description:Exposure to welding fume consists of a mixed exposure of metal-rich particulate matter with gases (ozone, carbon monoxide) and/or vapors (VOCs). Data suggests that welders are immune compromised. Given the inability of pulmonary leukocytes to properly respond to a secondary infection, the question arose concerning how far upstream the dysfunction persisted. Our aim was to evaluate circulating leukocyte functionality after welding fume exposure. The results showed that welding fume exposure has rapid effects on the circulating leukocyte population as identified by relative mRNA expression changes. Instillation of MMA-SS reduced inflammatory protein production of circulating leukocytes when challenged with the secondary stimulus LPS. The effects were not related to transcription, but were observed in conjunction with oxidative stress. Rats were intratracheally instilled (ITI) with phosphate buffered saline or 2 mg of welding fume collected from a manual metal arc-stainles steel weld. Rats were sacrificed 4 and 24 h post-exposure and whole blood was collected. Whole blood was used for cellular differential counts, RNA isolation with subsequent microarray and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, and secondary stimulation with lipopolysaccharide utilizing TruCulture technology from Myriad/Rules Based Medicine. Also, mononuclear cells were isolated 24 h post-exposure to measure oxidative stress by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Whole blood collected 4 and 24 h post-exposure was challenged (a paired non-stimulant (null) and stimulant (LPS) tube) for 24 h using Truculture technology from Myriad/ RBM. After the challenge, cells were recovered using RNA later for subsequent RNA isolation and microarray.

Project description:Background: Molecular adaptations in the striatum mediated by dopamine (DA) denervation or Levodopa (L-dopa) treatment have been implicated with the motor deficits found in Parkinsonâs disease (PD). Alterations in glutamatergic neurotransmission and anti-oxidant mechanisms are reported to play important roles in mediating these changes. However, the mechanisms mediating the molecular adaptations in the striatum are not well understood. In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognized as potent post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression with fundamental roles in numerous biological processes. miRNAs are known to influence the development and maintenance of striatal neurons. To determine the contribution of miRNAs in molecular adaptations found in PD, we screened the expression of 800 miRNAs in postmortem striatum samples obtained from PD and neurologically normal controls. We detected the expression of approximately 250 miRNAs in postmortem human putamen samples collected from patients with PD and healthy controls. There was an abundance of a subset of 17 miRNAs (10 up- and 7 down-regulated) differing substantially between PD and the control, suggesting that miRNAs are altered in the striatum during the course of PD. Computational analysis show that many of these miRNAs targets pro-inflammatory factors in the striatum. Therefore, we sought to detrmine the expression of experimentally validated pro-inflammatory transcripts in PD striatum. Methods: Using a digital gene expression platform to quantify 134 gene transcripts, we compared human postmortem putamen tissues from patients with PD and neurologically normal controls. Results: We identified deregulated expression of 10 gene transcripts (4 up- and 6 down-regulated mRNAs) in postmortem human putamen samples collected fromPD patients compared to controls. The expression of these genes negative correlates with the expression of many of the differentially epxressed miRNAs. Moreover, many of these genes are predicted targets of the differentially expressed miRNAs. Conclusions: We identified deregulated mRNAs most likely associated with anti-oxidant mechanims in PD striatum. This approach may provide insights into pathogenesis of the disease. Human postmortem putamen tissues from 12 patients with PD symptoms and 12 neurologically normal controls were used in the study. Samples were obtained from the Human Brain and Spinal Fluid Resource Center, Los Angeles, CA through NIH NeuroBioBank, and stored at -80°C until RNA isolation. Total RNA was extracted using the mirVana RNA isolation kit, following the manufacturerâs instructions (Ambion). Using 225ng total RNA, mRNA levels were assayed by direct digital detection using Nanostring nCounter assay kits (Nanostring Technologies).

Project description:Global miRNA expression profiling of human malignancies is gaining popularity in both basic and clinically driven research. But to date, the majority of such analyses have used microarrays and quantitative real-time PCR. With the introduction of digital count technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the NanoString nCounter System, we have at our disposal, many more options. To make effective use of these different platforms, the strengths and pitfalls of several miRNA profiling technologies were assessed, including a microarray platform, NGS technologies and the NanoString nCounter System. These results were compared to gold-standard quantitative real-time PCR. Comparison of non-small cell lung cancer cell lines grown in vitro (n = 5) and in vivo (n = 5) as xenograft models.
