Double trouble? When a pandemic and seasonal virus collide.

ABSTRACT: As healthcare capacities in the US and Europe reach their limits due to a surge in the COVID-19 pandemic, both regions enter the 2020-2021 influenza season. Southern hemisphere countries that had suppressed influenza seasons provide a hopeful example, but the lack of reduction in influenza in the 2019-2020 influenza season and heterogeneity in nonpharmaceutical and pharmaceutical interventions show that we cannot assume the same effect will occur globally. The US and Europe must promote the implementation and continuation of these measures in order to prevent additional burden to healthcare systems due to influenza.

Double trouble: psoriasis and cardiometabolic disorders.

Project description:Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disorder associated with numerous co-morbidities. This descriptive review focuses on the cardiometabolic co-morbidities of PsO with reference to the epidemiology and pathogenetic mechanisms linking PsO and cardiometabolic disease (CMD). Registry-based studies have shown PsO to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Factors linking PsO and CMD include: chronic inflammation, obesity, classic cardiovascular risk factors, and the effects of systemic therapy used to treat PsO. Chronic inflammation is associated with PsO itself, and with obesity. Adipose tissue is responsible for the secretion of various adipokines, which together with pro-inflammatory cytokines arising from the psoriatic plaque, contribute to the pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic environment. Systemic therapy aimed at decreasing inflammation has been shown to improve CMD in PsO. Screening for and treating CMD and initiating lifestyle modifications will remain the most important interventions until further data emerge regarding the effect of systemic therapy on CMD progression.

Murine NKG2D ligands: "double, double toil and trouble".

Project description:Unlike T and B cells, NK cells lack variable, clonotypic receptors that recognize foreign antigens. Instead, NK cells depend on conserved receptors such as NKG2D. NKG2D recognizes a variety of inducible self-proteins that belong to the non-classical MHC class I family. They include ULBP (1-3), MIC (A & B) in human and H60 (a, b & c), Rae-1 (alpha-epsilon) and Mult1 in mice. These self-proteins are expressed due to pathological stimuli, share limited amino acid homology and form the molecular basis for NKG2D-mediated activation. Recent studies have vastly improved our understanding of NKG2D receptor-mediated activation, signaling and function. However, a detailed knowledge on the immunobiology of its ligands is lacking. How many is too many? Is NKG2D the only receptor for these ligands? Where are these ligands expressed? What are the molecular mechanisms that regulate their expression? Do normal cells express these ligands? Does the communication between NKG2D receptor and its ligands travel through a two way road? If so, what do the 'target' cells get in turn, only death? How efficient are these ligands as molecular targets for NK cell-mediated tumor immunotherapy?

The interesting case-orphan diseases-double trouble.

Project description:With an incidence of 1:20,000-1:30,000, Wilson's disease is regarded as a rare disease. Yet rarer, however, is the co-occurrence of two unrelated orphan diseases in the same patient. By means of two case reports, we would like to illustrate the necessity of an appropriate differential diagnostic evaluation and treatment of these disorders.

Improving seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccines.

Project description:Challenges facing seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccination include: increasing the immunogenicity of seasonal vaccines for the most vulnerable, increasing vaccination coverage against seasonal influenza, and developing vaccines against pandemic strains that are immunogenic with very low quantities of antigen to maximize the number of people who can be vaccinated with a finite production capacity. We review Sanofi Pasteur's epidemic and pandemic influenza research and development programmes with emphasis on two key projects: intradermal influenza vaccine for seasonal vaccination of both elderly and younger adults, and pandemic influenza vaccine.

Differential microRNA expression profiles of mouse lungs infected with 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus and seasonal H1N1 virus

Project description:To further understand the molecular pathogenesis of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus infection, we profiled cellular miRNAs of lung tissue from BALB/c mice infected with influenza virus BJ501 and a mouse-adapted influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1)(PR8) as a comparison. Five groups of mice were selected, and three of each group were used to profile the miRNA, two were in case for unqualified RNA extraction. Whole lungs from mice infected by BJ501 or PR8 were harvested on 2,5 days post infection (dpi), and compared with lung samples from 5 uninfected mice.

Obesity and Outcomes in COVID-19: When an Epidemic and Pandemic Collide.

Project description:Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and in much of the westernized world, contributing to considerable morbidity. Several of these obesity-related morbidities are associated with greater risk for death with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 penetrates human cells through direct binding with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors on the cell surface. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 expression in adipose tissue is higher than that in lung tissue, which means that adipose tissue may be vulnerable to COVID-19 infection. Obese patients also have worse outcomes with COVID-19 infection, including respiratory failure, need for mechanical ventilation, and higher mortality. Clinicians need to be more aggressive when treating obese, especially severely obese, patients with COVID-19 infection.

Asthma and overweight/obese: double trouble for urban children.

Project description:To evaluate the effects of overweight/obese versus normal weight on symptoms, activity limitation and health care utilization among a group of urban children with persistent asthma.Data were obtained from the School Based Asthma Therapy trial. We enrolled 530 children ages 3-10 with persistent asthma from 2006 to 2009 (response rate: 74%). We conducted in-home interviews to assess symptoms and health care utilization. We measured height and weight in school nurse offices to determine BMI percentile, and compared normal weight children to overweight/obese (BMI >85th percentile) children. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used.We collected BMI data from 472 children (89%); 49% were overweight/obese. When controlling for child race, child ethnicity, intervention group, caregiver age and screen time, overweight/obese children had more days with asthma symptoms (4.25 versus 3.42/2 weeks, p?=?0.035) and more activity limitation (3.43 versus 2.55/2 weeks, p?=?0.013) compared to normal weight children. Overweight/obese children were more likely to have had an ED visit or hospitalization for any reason (47% versus 36%, OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.01, 2.19), and there was a trend for overweight/obese children to have more acute asthma visits in the past year (1.68 versus 1.31, p?=?0.090). Overweight/obese children were not more likely to be taking a daily preventive inhaled corticosteroid (OR 1.0, 95% CI 0.68, 1.56).Overweight/obese children with persistent asthma experience more asthma symptoms, activity limitation and health care utilization compared to normal weight children, with no increased use of inhaled corticosteroids. Further efforts are needed to improve the health of these children.

Differential ability of pandemic and seasonal H1N1 influenza 1 A virus to alter function of human neutrophils

Project description:Neutrophils are essential cells of host innate immunity. Although the role of neutrophils in defense against bacterial and fungal infections is well characterized, there is relative paucity of information about their role against viral infections. Influenza A virus (IAV) infection can be associated with secondary bacterial co-infection, and it has long been posited that the ability of IAV to alter normal neutrophil function predisposes individuals to secondary bacterial infections. To better understand this phenomenon, we evaluated the interaction of pandemic or seasonal H1N1 IAV with human neutrophils isolated from healthy subjects. These viruses were ingested by human neutrophils and elicited changes in neutrophil gene expression that are consistent with an interferon-mediated immune response. Viability of neutrophils following co-culture with either pandemic and seasonal H1N1 IAV was similar for up to 18 h of culture. Notably, neutrophil exposure to seasonal IAV (but not pandemic IAV) primed these leukocytes for enhanced functions, including production of reactive oxygen species and bactericidal activity. Taken together, our results are at variance with the universal idea that IAV impairs neutrophil function directly to predispose individuals to secondary bacterial infections. Rather, we suggest some strains of IAV prime neutrophils for enhanced bacterial clearance.
