Normative Aging Study (NAS)

ABSTRACT:

The Normative Aging Study (NAS) is a longitudinal study established by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs in 1963. Participants were male residents and free of chronic disease at the time of recruitment. Participants were invited to undergo an in-person examination every 3-5 years. Participants provided information on medical history, lifestyle and demographic factors and underwent a physical examination and laboratory tests, at each visit. Participants provided written informed consent at each visit, and the VA Boston Healthcare System Institutional Review Board approved the study.

Transcription profiling of blood from Gulf War Illness sufferers and control veterans before and after exercise

Project description:This pilot study enrolled 9 GWI (Gulf War Illness) cases identified from the Department of Veterans Affairs GWI registry, and 11 sedentary control veterans who had not been deployed to the Persian Gulf and were matched to cases by sex, body mass index (BMI) and age. We exposed GWI patients and matched controls to an exercise challenge to explore differences in immune cell function measured by classic immune assays and gene expression profiling.

Platelet mRNA in response to antiplatelet therapy exposure

Project description:The purpose of this study was to identify changes in platelet mRNA that result from exposure to antiplatelet therapy. A total of 84 healthy volunteers were recruited into a longitudinal study of various antiplatelet exposures with 58 completing all study visits. This was a 5 visit study where each visit was separated by ~ 4 weeks. At each Visit purified platelets using a CD45 negative selection protocol was performed in addition to platelet function testing using light transmittance aggregometry (ADP, EPI, and Collagen) and PFA100 (Col/EPI). After the baseline visit (V1), participants were randomized to receive 81mg/day or 325mg/day aspirin x 4 weeks followed by Visit 2. Participants then crossed over to the alternative dose of aspirin for 4 weeks followed by Visit 3. Between Visits 3 and 4 participants washed out their aspirin for 4 weeks. The final exposure was ticagrelor 90mg twice daily x 4 weeks until Visit 5.

Allergen Challenge for Evoked Phenotypes in Asthma (the ACE Study)

Project description:This protocol outlines a single-site mechanistic study aiming to investigate long RNAs differentially expressed in the airway epithelium of asthma patients both at baseline and in response to segmental airway allergen challenges. Over approximately 14 days, the study spanned three visits: Visit 1: Comprehensive characterization of participants, encompassing lung function testing, methacholine challenge testing, and allergen skin prick testing. Visit 2: Participants underwent bronchoscopy wherein three procedures were performed a. Epithelial brushings were performed in a segmental airway (baseline sample) b. Diluent (inactive control) was instilled into another segmental airway c. A small dose of allergen was administered into a third segmental airway using standardized cat or dust mite allergen extracts. Visit 3 (24 hours or 7 days post Visit 2): Another bronchoscopy was carried out to collect epithelial brushings in the diluent challenged and allergen challenged segments The collected epithelial brush samples underwent analysis for mRNA expression in the epithelial brushings. The study successfully incorporated a total of 23 subjects, which included 18 asthmatics (with stable or well-controlled conditions), 2 allergic non-asthmatics, and 3 non-allergic non-asthmatics.

VA APOLLO Project - Research for Precision Oncology (RePOP)

Project description:The Research for Precision Oncology Program (RePOP) is a research activity that establishes a cohort of Veterans diagnosed with cancer and who have had genomic analyses performed on their tumor tissue as part of standard of care. All data relevant to a patient's cancer and cancer care will be collected under RePOP, including patient demographics, co-morbidities, genomic analysis, treatments, medications, lab values, imaging studies, and outcomes. All RePOP participants will have signed/verbal informed consent and signed HIPAA authorization to have their data stored and shared from RePOP's Precision Oncology Program Data Repository (PODR). The Applied Proteogenomics OrganizationaL Learning and Outcomes (APOLLO) network is a collaboration between NCI, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to incorporate proteogenomics into patient care as a way of looking beyond the genome, to the activity and expression of the proteins that the genome encodes. The emerging field of proteogenomics aims to better predict how patients will respond to therapy by screening their tumors for both genetic abnormalities and protein information, an approach that has been made possible in recent years due to advances in proteomic technology.

An inhaled dose of budesonide induces genes involved in transcription and signaling in human airways

Project description:Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) control airway inflammation in mild to moderate asthma by reducing inflammatory gene expression. However, incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms underpinning corticosteroid action hinders development of improved therapies for more severe disease. Microarray analysis was performed on RNA from biopsies taken from healthy individuals after receiving single dose of ICS to characterize corticosteroid-induced modulation of gene expression in the human airways. Healthy male, non-smoker, non-allergic volunteers (age 18-50 years) with normal lung function were recruited into a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, two-period crossover study involving an initial screening visit, followed by two intervention visits. Participants were screened at visit 1 for fulfilment of the study eligibility criteria. At visit 2, volunteers were randomized to receive inhaled budesonide (1600 Âµg) or placebo, both via Turbuhaler. Two to three weeks later, at visit 3, participants received either budesonide or placebo, as appropriate to complete both study arms. Six hours after placebo or a budesonide inhalation, bronchial biopsies were obtained via bronchoscopy.

Longitudinal Study of Leukocyte DNA Methylation and Biomarkers for Cancer Risk in Older Adults

Project description:Peripheral blood samples were obtained at baseline and at follow-up visit from 20 participants in the Health, Aging and Body Composition prospective cohort study. Genome-wide CpG methylation was assayed using the Illumina Infinium Human MethylationEPIC (HM850K) microarray. We explored longitudinal changes in CpG methylation from blood leukocytes, and likelihood of a future cancer diagnosis.
