Transcription profiling of human skin bioposis from patients with diffuse scleroderma and limited scleroderma

ABSTRACT: RNA expression profiling was carried out for systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) on skin biopsies obtained from both diffuse scleroderma (dcSSc) and limited scleroderma (lcSSc) subjects patients and compared to normal subjects. The patient group comprised of 4 dcSSc and 2 lcSSc subjects, all of whom were Caucasian and belonged to the age range of 42-73 (Mean age = 61.6). Patient sample set consisted of 3 females and 3 males. Race matched female volunteers from the same geographical area were recruited as controls (n = 4) and belonged to the age range of 41-62 (Mean age = 52).

Novel Targeted Proteomic Profiling of Potential Biomarkers in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

Project description:Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a cardiovascular autonomic disorder leading to debilitating symptoms and the therapeutic alternatives are limited. Proteomics is a large-scale study of proteins that enables a systematic unbiased view on disease and health, allowing stratification on patients based on their protein background. We aimed to explore proteins that may be related with the putative etiology of POTS compared with healthy controls using a highly powerful targeted proteomic mass spectrometry technique.

Changes in the urinary extracellular vesicle proteome are associated with nephronophthisis-related ciliopathies

Project description:Nephronophthisis is one of the leading genetic causes of end-stage renal disease in childhood. Early diagnostics and prognostics for nephronophthisis are currently limited. We aimed to identify non-invasive protein biomarkers for nephronophthisis in urinary extracellular vesicles. Extracellular vesicles were isolated from urine of 12 patients with a nephronophthisis-related ciliopathy and 12 age- and gender-matched controls, followed by in-depth label-free LC-MS/MS proteomics analysis of gel fractionated extracellular vesicles proteins.

A phosphoproteomic analysis of platelets in severe obesity uncovers platelet reactivity and signaling pathways alterations

Project description:Objective: Obesity is associated with a pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic state that supports atherosclerosis progression. The goal of this study was to gain insights into the phosphorylation events related to platelet reactivity in obesity and identify platelet biomarkers and altered activation pathways in this clinical condition. Approach and Results: We performed a comparative phosphoproteomic analysis of resting platelets from obese patients and their age- and gender-matched lean controls. The phosphoproteomic data were validated by mechanistic, functional and biochemical assays. We identified 220 differentially regulated phosphopeptides, from at least 175 proteins; interestingly all were up-regulated in obesity. Most of the altered phosphoproteins are involved in Src-family kinases (SFKs)-related signaling pathways, cytoskeleton reorganization and vesicle transport, some of them validated by targeted mass spectrometry. To confirm platelet dysfunction, flow cytometry assays were performed in whole blood indicating higher surface levels of glycoprotein (GP) VI and C-type lectin-like (CLEC) -2 in platelets from obese patients correlating positively with BMI. ROC curves analysis suggested a much higher sensitivity for GPVI to discriminate between obese and lean individuals. Indeed, we also found that obese platelets displayed more adhesion to collagen-coated plates. In line with the above data, sGPVI levels - indicative of higher GPVI signaling activation - were almost double in plasma from obese patients. Conclusion: Our results provide novel information on platelet phosphorylation changes related to obesity, revealing the impact of this chronic pathology on platelet reactivity and pointing towards the main signaling pathways dysregulated.

Decreased miRNA expression in Klinefelter syndrome

Project description:The widely variable phenotypic spectrum and the different symptom severity in men with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) suggest a role for epigenetic mediators. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the possible involvement of miRNAs in the clinical manifestations of KS. To accomplish this, we performed a transcriptome analysis in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 10 non-mosaic KS patients , 10 aged-matched healthy male and 10 aged-matched healthy female controls with normal karyotype. After RNA extraction from PBMC and the preparation of small RNA libraries, the samples were sequenced using next generation high-throughput sequencing technology. Expression profiling analysis revealed a significant differential expression of 2 miRNAs in KS compared to male controls. In particular, MIR3648 resulted significantly (p<0.0001) down-regulated by -19.084- fold, while MIR3687was non-expressed at all (p<0.0001) in KS patients. These results were confirmed by qRT-PCR. The functional analysis of the two transcripts showed that they seem to play a role in breast cancer, hemopoietic abnormalities, immune defects and adipocyte differentiation and fat cell maturation. Therefore, we speculate that both miRNAs may play a role in the immune and metabolic disorders and in the risk of breast cancer development in men with KS.

Environmental factors transmitted by aryl hydrocarbon receptor influence severity of psoriatic skin inflammation [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Environmental stimuli are known to contribute to psoriasis pathogenesis and that of other autoimmune diseases, but the mechanism is unknown. Here we show that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a transcription factor that senses environmental stimuli, modulates pathology in psoriasis. AhR-activating ligands reduced inflammation in the lesional skin of psoriasis patients, whereas AhR antagonists upregulated inflammation. Similarly, AhR signaling via the endogenous FICZ ligand reduced the inflammatory response in the imiquimod-induced model of psoriasis and AhR deficient mice exhibited a substantial exacerbation of the disease, compared to AhR sufficient controls. Non-haematopoietic cells, in particular keratinocytes, were responsible for this hyper-inflammatory response, which involved increased reactivity to IL-1beta and upregulation of AP-1 family members of transcription factors. Thus, our data suggest a critical role for AhR in the regulation of inflammatory responses and open the possibility for novel therapeutic strategies in chronic inflammatory disorders. Total RNA obtained from skin explants taken from psoriatic patients or healthy donors cultured in the presence of AhR agonist or antagonist

Transcriptional Profiling of CD133+ Cells in Coronary Artery Disease and Effects of Exercise on Gene Expression

Project description:Bone marrow-derived progenitor cells are under investigation for cardiovascular repair, but may be altered by disease. We identified 82 differentially expressed genes in CD133+ cells from patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) versus controls, of which 59 were found to be up-regulated and 23 down-regulated. These genes were found to be involved in carbohydrate metabolism, cellular development and signaling, molecular transport and cell differentiation. Following completion of an exercise program, gene expression patterns resembled those of controls in 7 of 10 patients. Blood sampled from 4 healthy subjects (H), and from 10 patients with coronary artery disease at baseline (A) and after 3 months (B) of exercise.

Proteomics of muscle microdialysates identifies potential circulating biomarkers in Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Project description:Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by a complex epigenetic mechanism finally leading to the misexpression of DUX4, a transcription factor normally silenced in skeletal muscle. Detecting DUX4 in skeletal muscle and quantifying disease progression in FSHD is extremely challenging, thus increasing the need for other surrogate biomarkers. We applied a shotgun proteomic approach with two different setups to analyze the protein repertoire of interstitial fluids obtained from 20 FSHD patients’ muscles in different disease stages classified by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and controls. Serum samples from the same subjects were also analyzed. A total of 1156 proteins were identified in the microdialysates by Data Independent Acquisition, 130 of which only found in muscles in active disease stage. Proteomic profiles of interstitial fluids were able to distinguish FSHD patients from controls. Among the upregulated proteins in muscles with active disease, two innate immunity mediators (S100-A8 and A9) and Dermcidin were detected with both proteomic approaches and selectively present in the sera of FSHD patients. Structural muscle proteins were downregulated, consistent with signs of early damage, as well as proteins of the plasminogen pathway. This suggests, together with upstream inhibition in FSHD samples of myogenic factors, defective muscle regeneration and increased fibrosis already in early/active disease. Conclusions: our MRI targeted exploratory approach provided insights on pathophysiological pathways activated in early disease, confirming that inflammatory response has a prominent role, together with impaired muscle regeneration. We also identified three proteins as tissue and possibly circulating prognostic biomarkers in FSHD.
