Case Control Study to Identify Modifiable Risk Factors for Colorectal and Breast Cancer in Nigeria

ABSTRACT: This project is a case-control study which seeks to identify modifiable risk factors for breast and colorectal cancer in Nigeria. Both cases and controls will be required to complete a risk factor questionnaire which contains information about their diet, physical activity, past medical history and life style factors. They will also be required to provide information on their body composition through the use of a bioimpedance machine which measures the body mass index, fat and total body water percentage. Based on the existing ARGO platform where a current colorectal cancer study is going on, approximately 400 patients with a prior diagnosis or a new diagnosis will be recruited into this study. Comparatively, we will select our 400 controls from two groups of participants who are free of cancer and gastrointestinal diseases.

Amplified fluorogenic immunoassay for early diagnosis and monitoring of Alzheimer’s disease from tear fluid

Project description:Accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in its earliest stage can prevent the disease and delay the onset of symptoms by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and controlling modifiable risk factors. Therefore, more sensitive, relatively inexpensive, non-invasive, and simple screening tools are required for the early diagnosis and progression monitoring of AD. Here, we designed a self assembled nanoparticle-mediated amplified fluorogenic immunoassay (SNAFIA) consisting of magnetic and fluorophore-loaded polymeric nanoparticles. Multiple simultaneous captures and magnetic separation of biomarkers and target-specific fluorophore emission induced a one-tomulti signal, resulting in a low detection limit (236 aM), good reliability (R2 = 0.991), and wide analytical range (0.320–1000 fM) for APOE and CAP1 biomarkers in human serum and tear fluid. More importantly, SNAFIA successfully differentiated AD patients from healthy controls with 90% sensitivity and 100% specificity in less than 1 h in 39 clinical tear samples. As an easily accessible diagnostic tool with fast and accurate results, SNAFIA can help diagnose AD early to aid in long-term care planning, increase the efficiency of clinical trials, and dramatically accelerate therapeutic development.

CRISPR-ChIP to identify mechanisms of chromatin regulation [CRISPR-ChIP]

Project description:The regulation of all chromatin-templated processes involves the selective recruitment of chromatin factors to facilitate DNA repair, replication, and transcription. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a critical experimental method used to provide spatiotemporal evidence for the coordination of these chromatin-based events including the dynamic regulation of chromatin modifications at cis-regulatory elements. However, getting a global appreciation of all the factors that influence a specific chromatin event has remained challenging. Here, as a proof of concept we demonstrate the utility of coupling unbiased functional genomics with ChIP to identify the factors associated with active transcription. Specifically, we use this method to identify the major chromatin factors associated with recruitment of RNA polymerase 2 and the catalysis of two evolutionarily conserved histone modifications; H3K4me3 present at the transcriptional start site and H3K79me2 present through the gene body of actively transcribed genes. With CRISPR-ChIP we identify all the non-redundant COMPASS complex members required for H3K4me3 and the major components of mediator and TFIID required for Pol II recruitment during the maintenance of gene expression. Importantly, using CRISPR-ChIP in leukaemia cells driven by MLL-translocations we uncover a functional partitioning of H3K79 methylation into two distinct regulatory units. An oncogenic DOT1L complex, where the malignant driver directs the catalytic activity of DOT1L at MLL-fusion target genes which is separate from the endogenous DOT1L complex where catalytic activity is directed by MLLT10 at actively expressed genes not controlled by the MLL-fusion protein. This functional demarcation has therapeutic implications and explains why Menin inhibition surprisingly controls methylation of H3K79 at a critical subset of genes that sustain MLL-fusion leukaemia.

Quantitative label-free proteomic analysis of human urine to identify novel protein biomarkers for schistosomiasis

Project description:Background: Schistosomiasis is a chronic neglected tropical disease that is characterized by continued inflammatory challenges to the exposed population, and it has been established as a possible risk factor in the aetiology of bladder cancer. Improved diagnosis of schistosomiasis and its associated pathology is possible through mass spectrometry to identify biomarkers among the infected population, which will influence early detection of the disease and its subtle morbidity. Methodology: A high-throughput proteomic approach was used to analyse human urine samples for 49 volunteers from Eggua, a schistosomiasis endemic community in South-West, Nigeria. The individuals were previously screened for Schistosoma haematobium and structural bladder pathologies via microscopy and ultrasonography respectively. Samples were categorised into schistosomiasis, schistosomiasis with bladder pathology, bladder pathology, and a normal healthy control group. These samples were analysed to identify potential protein biomarkers. Results: A total of 1306 proteins and 8752 unique peptides were observed in this study (FDR = 0.01). Fifty-four human proteins were found to be potential biomarkers for schistosomiasis and bladder pathologies due to schistosomiasis by label-free quantitative comparison between groups. Thirty-six (36) parasite-derived potential biomarkers were also identified, which include some existing putative schistosomiasis biomarkers that have been previously reported. Some of these proteins include Elongation factor 1 alpha, phosphopyruvate hydratase, histone H4 and heat shock proteins (HSP 60, HSP 70). Conclusion: These findings provide an in-depth analysis of potential schistosoma and human host protein biomarkers for diagnosis of chronic schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma haematobium and its pathogenesis.

SCREENING STUDY TO IDENTIFY DIAGNOSTIC MARKERS FOR LUNG CANCER IN ENDOBRONCHIAL LINING FLUID

Project description:We investigated whether biomarker analysis in endobronchial epithelial lining fluid (ELF) collected by bronchoscopic microsampling may be useful for a definitive preoperative diagnosis. Therefore we compared ELF samples close to nodule and from the contralateral site from patients with malignant or benign diagnosis. ELF samples have been derived from early stage NSCLC patients and controls. LIMMA analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed genes associated to a malignant diagnosis. keywords: disease subtype analysis
