Project description:We profiled gene expression from a stratified cohort of subjects to define influenza vaccine response in Young and Old Differential gene expression by human PBMCs from Healthy Adults receiving Influenza Vaccination (Fluvirin, Novartis). Healthy adults (older >65, younger 21-30 years) were recruited at seasonal Influenza Vaccination clinics organized by Yale University Health Services during October to December of 2010 M-bM-^@M-^S 2011 and 2011-2012 seasons. With informed consent, healthy individuals were recruited as per a protocol approved by Human Investigations Committee of the Yale University School of Medicine. Each subject was evaluated by a screening questionnaire determining self-reported demographic information, height, weight, medications and comorbid conditions. Participants with acute illness two weeks prior to vaccination were excluded from study. Blood samples were collected into BD Vacutainer Sodium Heparin tube at four different time points, once prior to administration of vaccine and three time points after vaccination on days 2/4, 7 and 28. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) were isolated from heparinized blood using Histopaque 1077 in gradient centrifugation. About 1.0x10^7 freshly isolated PBMC were lysed in Triso and immediately stored in -800C. Total RNA in aqueous phase of Trisol - Chloroform was isolated in an automated QiaCube instrument using miRNeasy according to manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. Integrity of RNA samples were assessed by Agilent 2100 BioAnalyser Samples were processed for cRNA generation using Illumina TotalPrep cRNA Amplification Kit and subsequently hybridized to Human HT12-V4.0 BeadChip at Yale Center for Genomic Analysis (YGCA).

Project description:We conducted a genome-wide placental transcriptome study aiming at the identification of functional pathways representing the molecular link between maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and fetal growth. We used RNA microarray (Agilent 8 X 60 K), medical records, and questionnaire data from 183 mother-newborn pairs from the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort study (Flanders, Belgium). We applied a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and identified genes modules and hub genes that were associated with maternal BMI as well as newborn birth weight. Modules of interest were further characterized by gene ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analyses. We assessed the mediating effects of modules and hub genes in the association between maternal BMI and newborn weight.

Project description:The overriding objective of this application is to seek funding for the development of a crossectional profile of immune phenotype of over 600 normal subjects between the ages of 50 and 90. As a consequence, we will infer changes in immune phenotype of normal subjects as they age. These immune phenotypic data, as well as standard laboratory tests and evaluations of questionnaires, will be used to generate a large and comprehensive database of demographic and biological information. The proposal utilizes the strengths of the Stanford Human Immune Monitoring Core (HIMC) and the unique expertise in basic immunology, immune monitoring, the development of patient registries, biostatistics and bioinformatics at Stanford. The dataset will comprise a crossectional analysis of the local San Francisco Peninsula general population between the ages of 50 and 90 (representing equal gender and representative ethnic population, and equal distribution by decade of life). The registry will contain demographic data, race/ethnicity, prescribed medications, over the counter medications, vitamins, alternative therapies, physical function questionnaire, alternative contact person, and HIPPA release. Fasting blood will be obtained for immune phenotyping. The immune profile will contain the results of both conventional and novel immune profiling assays to develop the normative immune profile of aging (using PBMC subset analysis, cytokines, and activation induced signaling of PBMCs for phosphoepitope and gene expression analyses). Data from these analyses will be useful in identifying biomarkers of the normal immune profile associated with aging as well as correlation with phenotypic aspects of aging such as sarcopenia and disability The immune profile (as well as normal blood chemistries and demographic data) of these subjects will be made available to serve as the basis for future longitudinal study of change in the immune profile over time in association with the development of co-morbidities associated with aging. in the PBMC gene expression, 120 samples were analyzed (no replicates), containing patients and controls.

Project description:We have performed gene expression microarray analysis to profile transcriptomic signatures between insulin resistance high risk subjects and insulin resistance low risk subjects Participants enrolled in this study were recruited in the overnight fasted state, then the collection and processing of glucose (fasting, 30, 60 and 120 minutes) and insulin from blood samples, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) , assessment of medical history, socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, blood pressure and anthropometric and body composition measurements were conducted. During baseline visit, participants were asked to refrain from eating, drinking and oral hygiene procedures for at least 1-hour prior to saliva collection.5 ml of unstimulated whole saliva samples were consistently collected, stabilized and preserved, the sample supernatants were reserved at -80°C prior to assay. Based on the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), using the formula [HOMA-IR= (fasting glucose*fasting insulin)/405], participants were divided into 2 groups: IR high risk group (HOMA-IR value ?2.5) and IR low risk group (HOMA-IR value <2.5). Total RNA was extracted from saliva and subjected to gene expression microarray analysis using Affymetrix human genome 2.0 plus array

Project description:A proficiency test was performed to verify that the regional veterinary laboratories in Germany can provide reliable foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) diagnostics. Overall, 24 samples were to be analyzed for FMDV-specific nucleic acids by real-time RT-PCR, and 16 samples had to be tested by ELISA for antibodies against non-structural proteins of FMDV. For both methods, a range of dilutions of the original materials (inactivated FMDV vaccine or convalescent serum from infected animals, respectively) was prepared, and negative samples were included as well. All 23 participating laboratories were able to detect FMDV genome down to a dilution of 1:100,000 of the vaccine preparation. Even at a dilution of 1:1,000,000, FMDV genome was detected by more than half of the participants. With the antibody ELISA, all sera were correctly identified by all participating laboratories. No false-positive results were returned with either method. All participating laboratories were found to be fully proficient in FMDV diagnostics.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Culture-based diagnostics represent the standard of care in septic patients, but are highly insensitive and in many cases unspecific. We recently demonstrated the general feasibility of next-generation sequencing-based diagnostics using free circulating nucleic acids (cell-free DNA) in plasma samples of septic patients. Within the presented investigation, higher performance of next-generation sequencing-based diagnostics was validated by comparison to matched blood cultures. DESIGN:A secondary analysis of a prospective, observational, single-center study. SETTING:Surgical ICU of a university hospital and research laboratory. PATIENTS:Fifty patients with septic shock, 20 uninfected patients with elective surgery as control cohort. INTERVENTIONS:None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:From 256 plasma samples of 48 septic patients at up to seven consecutive time points within the 28-day observation period, cell-free DNA was isolated and analyzed by next-generation sequencing and relevance scoring. In parallel, results from culture-based diagnostics (e.g., blood culture) were obtained. Plausibility of blood culture and next-generation sequencing results as well as adequacy of antibiotic therapy was evaluated by an independent expert panel. In contrast to blood culture with a positivity rate of 33% at sepsis onset, the positivity rate for next-generation sequencing-based pathogen identification was 72%. Over the whole study period, blood culture positivity was 11%, and next-generation sequencing positivity was 71%. Ninety-six percent of positive next-generation sequencing results for acute sepsis time points were plausible and would have led to a change to a more adequate therapy in 53% of cases as assessed by the expert evaluation. CONCLUSIONS:Our results show that next-generation sequencing-based analyses of bloodstream infections provide a valuable diagnostic platform for the identification of clinically relevant pathogens with higher sensitivity and specificity than blood culture, indicating that patients might benefit from a more appropriate therapy based on next-generation sequencing-based diagnosis.

Project description:Devices based on rapid, paper-based, isothermal nucleic acid amplification techniques have recently emerged with the potential to fill a growing need for highly sensitive point-of-care diagnostics throughout the world. As this field develops, such devices will require optimized materials that promote amplification and sample preparation. Herein, we systematically investigated isothermal nucleic acid amplification in materials currently used in rapid diagnostics (cellulose paper, glass fiber, and nitrocellulose) and two additional porous membranes with upstream sample preparation capabilities (polyethersulfone and polycarbonate). We compared amplification efficiency from four separate DNA and RNA targets (Bordetella pertussis, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Influenza A H1N1) within these materials using two different isothermal amplification schemes, helicase dependent amplification (tHDA) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and traditional PCR. We found that the current paper-based diagnostic membranes inhibited nucleic acid amplification when compared to membrane-free controls; however, polyethersulfone allowed for efficient amplification in both LAMP and tHDA reactions. Further, observing the performance of traditional PCR amplification within these membranes was not predicative of their effects on in situ LAMP and tHDA. Polyethersulfone is a new material for paper-based nucleic acid amplification, yet provides an optimal support for rapid molecular diagnostics for point-of-care applications.
