Longitudinal study of circulating protein biomarkers in inflammatory bowel disease.

ABSTRACT: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic and progressive inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. In IBD, protein serological biomarkers could be relevant tools for assessing disease activity, performing early-stage diagnosis and managing the treatment. Using the interleukin-10 knockout (IL-10(-/-)) mouse, a model that develops a time-dependent IBD-like disorder that predominates in the colon; we performed longitudinal studies of circulating protein biomarkers in IBD. Circulating protein profiles in serum samples collected from 30-, 93-, to 135-day-old IL-10(-/-) mice were investigated using two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF/TOF tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 15 different proteins were identified and confirmed by ELISA and Western blot to be differentially accumulated in serum samples from mid- to late-stage IL-10(-/-) mice compared to early non-inflamed IL-10(-/-) mice. The use of another model of colitis and an extra-intestinal inflammation model validated this biomarker panel and demonstrated that comprised some global inflammatory markers, some intestinal inflammation-specific markers and some chronic intestinal inflammation markers. Statistical analyses using misclassification error rate charts validated the use of these identified proteins as powerful biomarkers of colitis. Unlike standard biomarker screening studies, our analyses identified a panel of proteins that allowed the definition of protein signatures that reflect colitis status.

Biological significance

Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the most common inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) occurring in humans. The major current diagnosis tool is colonoscopy, which is invasive and could lead to false diagnosis. The emergence of serological biomarkers enables the use of new diagnosis tools such as protein signatures for IBD diagnosis/management. Using 2D-DIGE coupled to mass spectrometry, our longitudinal study in a mouse model of colitis identified a signature of protein biomarkers for specific stages of disease.

Project description:Purpose: The main Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Multi'omics Database (IBDMDB) study includes multi’omics measurements from over 100 subjects, sampled biweekly over up to a year in both adult and pediatric patients with IBD (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), along with non-IBD controls. Data types include fecal metagenomes, metatranscriptomes, metabolomes, and proteomes, as well as host genetics, intestinal biopsy transcriptomes, epigenetics, and 16S amplicon profiles. Subjects’ medical histories and demographics are collected at baseline and medication, diet, and disease activity profiled longitudinally. Methods: Methods: Total RNA was quantified using theQuant-iT™ RiboGreen® RNA Assay Kit and normalized to 5ng/ul. Following plating, 2 uL of ERCC controls (using a 1:1000 dilution) were spiked into each sample. An aliquot of 200ng for each sample was transferred into library preparation which was an automated variant of the Illumina TruSeq™ Stranded mRNA Sample Preparation Kit. This method preserves strand orientation of the RNA transcript. It uses oligo dT beads to select mRNA from the total RNA sample. It is followed by heat fragmentation and cDNA synthesis from the RNA template. The resultant 500bp cDNA then goes through library preparation (end repair, base ‘A’ addition, adapter ligation, and enrichment) using Broad designed indexed adapters substituted in for multiplexing. After enrichment the libraries were quantified using Quant-iT PicoGreen (1:200 dilution). After normalizing samples to 5 ng/uL, the set was pooled and quantified using the KAPA Library Quantification Kit for Illumina Sequencing Platforms. The entire process is in 96-well format and all pipetting is done by either Agilent Bravo or Hamilton Starlet. Pooled libraries were normalized to 2nM and denatured using 0.1 N NaOH prior to sequencing. Flowcell cluster amplification and sequencing were performed according to the manufacturer’s protocols using either the HiSeq 2000.

Project description:Background Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease associated with motor neuron degeneration, muscle atrophy and paralysis. To date, multiple panels of biomarkers have been described in ALS patients and murine models. Nevertheless, none of them has sufficient specificity and thus the molecular signature for ALS prognosis and progression remains to be fully elucidated. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are highly stable molecules that are recently used as promising biomarkers for many types of human cancer and muscle disorders. Here we overcome this limitation through a longitudinal study, analyzing serum levels of circulating miRNAs in ALS patients during the progression of the pathology. Method We performed next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis and absolute RT quantification of serum samples of 27 ALS patients and 11 healthy control; among them 13 ALS patients were studied every three months till the end of the disease. Results We demonstrated that miR-151a-3p, miR-206 and miR-199a-3p are significantly expressed at the mild, moderate and severe stages of ALS pathology, whereas the expression levels of miR-133a and miR-199a-5p remained low during the whole study and retain diagnostic significance in the moderate and severe stages (miR-133a) and in mild and terminal stages (miR-199a-5p) of the disease. Moreover, we analysed the miRNAs serum levels during the progression of the disease in each patient and we demonstrated that high levels of miR-206, miR-133a, miR-151a-5p, miR-151a-3p can predict a slower clinical decline of patient functionality suggesting that these miRNAs represent good potential prognostic markers for ALS disease. Conclusion This study is the first to perform a longitudinal absolute quantification of circulating miRNAs during ALS disease. We highlighted putative biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and disease stage identification of ALS patients providing cut-off threshold for most of the miRNAs analyzed. In addition, our results define a molecular signature of ALS phenotypes that could help to define appropriate enrollments of patients in clinical trials.
