Project description:Chemokines and cytokines are key signaling molecules that orchestrate the trafficking of immune cells, direct them to sites of tissue injury and inflammation and modulate their states of activation and effector cell function. We have measured, using a multiplex-based approach, the levels of 58 immune mediators and 7 acute phase markers in sera derived from of a cohort of patients diagnosed with acute Lyme disease and matched controls. This analysis identified a cytokine signature associated with the early stages of infection and allowed us to identify two subsets (mediator-high and mediator-low) of acute Lyme patients with distinct cytokine signatures that also differed significantly (p<0.0005) in symptom presentation. In particular, the T cell chemokines CXCL9 (MIG), CXCL10 (IP-10) and CCL19 (MIP3B) were coordinately increased in the mediator-high group and levels of these chemokines could be associated with seroconversion status and elevated liver function tests (p=0.027 and p=0.021 respectively). There was also upregulation of acute phase proteins including CRP and serum amyloid A. Consistent with the role of CXCL9/CXCL10 in attracting immune cells to the site of infection, CXCR3+ CD4 T cells are reduced in the blood of early acute Lyme disease (p=0.01) and the decrease correlates with chemokine levels (p=0.0375). The levels of CXCL9/10 did not relate to the size or number of skin lesions but elevated levels of serum CXCL9/CXCL10 were associated with elevated liver enzymes levels. Collectively these results indicate that the levels of serum chemokines and the levels of expression of their respective chemokine receptors on T cell subsets may prove to be informative biomarkers for Lyme disease and related to specific disease manifestations. A total of 65 immune and inflammatory mediators were profiled in serum samples derived from early Lyme disease patients and age- and sex-matched controls. These samples have been generated as part of a prospective cohort study that includes a well-defined cohort of patients with acute Lyme disease enrolled from a Lyme endemic area of the mid-Atlantic United States. Only patients with untreated, confirmed early Lyme disease manifesting an active EM skin lesion at the time of enrollment, as defined by CDC case criteria are eligible. Patients with a history of prior Lyme disease or the presence of confounding preexisting medical conditions associated with prolonged fatigue, pain or neurocognitive symptoms are excluded. Controls are nonhospitalized age- and sex-matched and have no prior history of Lyme disease or any exclusionary medical conditions including lack of inflammatory disorders.

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine the expression profiles of circulating miRNAs in the serum of patients with high-risk oral lesions (HRLs; oral cancer or carcinoma in situ) and to explore their utility as potential oral cancer biomarkers. Global serum miRNA profiles were generated by quantitative PCR method from 1) patients diagnosed with HRLs and undergoing intent-to-cure surgical treatment (N = 30) and 2) a demographically-matched, normal control group (N = 26). We next honed our list of serum miRNAs associated with disease by reducing the effects of inter-patient variability; we compared serum miRNA profiles from samples taken both before and after tumor resections (N = 10). Based on these analyses, fifteen miRNAs were significantly up-regulated and five were significantly down-regulated based on presence of disease (minimum fold-change >2 in at least 50% of samples, p < 0.05, permutation t-test). Five of these miRNAs (miR-16, let-7b, miR-338-3p, miR-223, and miR-29a) yielded an area under the ROC curve (AUC) >0.8, suggesting utility as non-invasive biomarkers for detection of oral cancer or high grade lesions. qPCR miRNA expression profiling of serum samples. The sample size for control and HRL cases are indicated in the summary. The samples were not processed in replicate. Dataset 1: Samples from pre-surgery HRL patients (N = 30) and normal controls (N = 26). Dataset 2: Samples taken both before and after tumor resections (N = 10). Processed separately from Dataset 1.

Project description:A 507 protein microarray was employed to provide a broad view of cytokines and chemokines in saliva and plasma in acutely HIV infected subjects as compared to uninfected subjects. A 40 cytokine custom array derived from the initial results was refined to highlight those molecules with significant change relative to control subjects indicating the potential for biological impact. Systemic and local (oral mucosal) immune responses in acutely infected HIV individuals before the initiation of HAART have not been well characterized. Protein microarrays were used to analyze saliva and plasma from HIV infected and HIV uninfected subjects to identify new biomarkers for HIV disease progression and pathogenesis.

Project description:The recent introduction of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors has significantly improved the survival outcomes of ovarian cancer. This study aimed to identify protein biomarkers and signatures predicting therapeutic responses to PARP inhibitors in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). To identify prognostic biomarkers, we conducted an in-depth proteomic analysis on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cancer tissues obtained from 24 HGSOC patients who received PARP inhibitor maintenance therapy for platinum-sensitive recurrence. In total, 7825 proteins were quantified with the tandem mass tag (TMT) labelling method. There were 56 and 131 proteins significantly upregulated in the good and poor response groups, respectively.

Project description:Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) is a complex multifactorial disease whose genetic bases remain unknown. Distinct linkage and genome-wide association studies in both familial and sporadic IgAN suggest that there is a strong genetic component in IgAN. In this context, an intriguing role could be ascribed to copy number variants (CNVs) that have been recognized as an important source of genetic variation in humans. Here, we performed a whole-genome screening of CNVs in IgAN patients, their healthy relatives and healthy subjects (HS). A total of 217 individuals consisting of 51 IgAN cases and 166 healthy relatives were included in the initial screening. The high-throughput analysis of structural genetic variations, to find concordant aberrations across classes of samples, identified 178 IgAN-specific aberrations, specifically 114 loss and 64 gain. Several CNVs overlapped with regions evidenced by previous genome-wide genetic studies. Moreover, we found that IgAN patients characterized by deteriorated renal function carried low copy numbers of a CNV in chromosome 3 (chr3_loss:52031010-52260722). This CNV contained the TLR9 gene whose expression significantly correlated with the loss aberration in patients with progressive renal damage. Conversely, IgAN patients with normal renal function had no chr3_loss:52031010-52260722 and the TLR9 mRNA was expressed at the same level as in HS, still maintaining a strong correlation with the CNV. In conclusion, here we performed the first genome-wide CNV study in IgAN identifying some structural variants specific to IgAN patients and providing a collection of new candidate genes and loci that could help to dissect the complex genomic setting of the disease. Moreover, we identified a specific CNV, spanning the TLR9 gene, which could explain the disease severity in IgAN patients.

Project description:We have performed a microRNA expression analysis in urine sediments from 18 IgAN patients, 6 healthy subjects and 8 disease controls(including 4 membranous nephropathy patients and 4 minimal change disease patients). Pathologic diagnosis of all IgAN patients was included in grades I–V by light microscopy according to the grading system of Lee et al. And we have identified a set of deregulated microRNAs with potential diagnostic value to identify patients with IgAN.

Project description:To uncover new molecular mechanisms involved in IgAN pathogenesis, we compared the genomic profiles of 12 IgAN patients with 8 healthy subjects, We included addiotional disease controls 3 FSGS(Focal Segmenal glomerulosclerosis) patients and 3 membrano proliferative glomerulonephritis type I (MPGN-I) controls in our study to evaluate if the WNT-β-catenin and PI3K/Akt pathways were specfic to IgAN. Gene expression profile comparison between 12IgAN patients and 8 Healthy Subjects. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) performed on the additional disease controls determined that the a priori defined set of genes and the pathways generated were specific to the IgAN
