African Ancestry Associated Gene Expression Profiles in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Underlie Altered Tumor Biology and Clinical Outcome in Women of African Descent

Project description:Women of sub-Saharan African descent have disproportionately higher incidence of Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), and TNBC-specific mortality. Population comparative studies show racial differences in TNBC biology, including higher prevalence of basal-like and Quadruple-Negative subtypes in African Americans (AA). However, previous investigations relied on self-reported race (SRR) of primarily United States (US) populations. Due to heterogenous genetic admixture, and biological consequences of social determinants, the true association of African ancestry with TNBC biology is unclear. To address this, we conducted RNAseq on an international cohort of AAs, west and east Africans with TNBC. Using comprehensive genetic ancestry estimation in this African-enriched cohort, we found expression of 613 genes associated with African ancestry and 2000+ associated with regional African ancestry. A subset of African-associated genes also showed differences in normal breast tissue. Pathway enrichment and deconvolution of tumor cellular composition revealed tumor-associated immunological profiles are distinct in patients of African descent.

Maternal influences on the transmission of leukocyte gene expression profiles in population samples (Red Cross Donors)

Project description:This is a companion study to (GSE21342). Peripheral blood leukocyte samples were obtained with consent from 100 red cross blood donors sampled cross-sectionally across the city of Brisbane, Australia. After correction for RNA integrity values, individuals fall into major profiles of expression variation suggesting environmental and cultural influences on immune gene expression. 100 individuals, 50 men and 50 women, were sampled with permission of the Red Cross Society of Australia and under informed consent. The age of individulas were between 18 and 68 (mean 44). BMI ranged from 17.7 to 51.3 with a mean of 26.6. Collection was carried out by EM at mobile Red Cross vans at 10 locations (Bellbowrie, Capalaba, Dayboro, Eagle Farm, Kenmore, Mount Ommaney, South Brisbane, St Lucia, Virginia, and Woolloongabba) distributed across the city.

Gene expression analysis of breast adenocarninoma cell line T47D treated with particulate matter PM2.5 sampled near the municipal solid waste incineration plant of Bologna city.

Project description:We reported the gene expression profile of T47D cells treated with the organic extract of Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) sampled next to the municipal solid waste incineration plant of Bologna city. Based on a air pollution distribution model that takes the incinaration plant as point source of emission, two sites were chosen to sample particulate matter near incineration plant: "FrulloEst" representing the maximum effect of the incineration plant, "Calamosco" representing the negative control of "FrulloEst" (minimun effect of incineration plant, same effect of other air pollution fonts). Another site, "Giardini Margherita", is chosen to sample the urban background air pollution. for each site sample collection was performed in winter and in summer season.

Hou2020 - SEIR model of COVID-19 transmission in Wuhan

Project description:A novel coronavirus pneumonia, first identified in Wuhan City and referred to as COVID-19 by the World Health Organization, has been quickly spreading to other cities and countries. To control the epidemic, the Chinese government mandated a quarantine of the Wuhan city on January 23, 2020. To explore the effectiveness of the quarantine of the Wuhan city against this epidemic, transmission dynamics of COVID-19 have been estimated. A well-mixed "susceptible exposed infectious recovered" (SEIR) compartmental model was employed to describe the dynamics of the COVID-19 epidemic based on epidemiological characteristics of individuals, clinical progression of COVID-19, and quarantine intervention measures of the authority. Considering infected individuals as contagious during the latency period, the well-mixed SEIR model fitting results based on the assumed contact rate of latent individuals are within 6-18, which represented the possible impact of quarantine and isolation interventions on disease infections, whereas other parameter were suppose as unchanged under the current intervention. The present study shows that, by reducing the contact rate of latent individuals, interventions such as quarantine and isolation can effectively reduce the potential peak number of COVID-19 infections and delay the time of peak infection.

Urban living in healthy Tanzanians is associated with an inflammatory status driven by dietary and metabolic changes

Project description:Sub-Saharan Africa currently experiences an unprecedented wave of urbanization, which has important consequences for health and disease patterns. This study aimed to investigate and integrate the immune and metabolic consequences of rural or urban lifestyles and the role of nutritional changes associated with urban living. In a cohort of 323 healthy Tanzanians, urban as compared to rural living was associated with a pro-inflammatory immune phenotype, both at the transcript and protein levels. We identified different food-derived and endogenous circulating metabolites accounting for these differences. Serum from urban dwellers induced reprogramming of innate immune cells with higher tumor necrosis factor production upon microbial re-stimulation in an in vitro model of trained immunity. These data demonstrate important shifts toward an inflammatory phenotype associated with an urban lifestyle and provide new insights into the underlying dietary and metabolic factors, which may affect disease epidemiology in sub-Sahara African countries.

NFkB target gene microarray during LIF-withdrawal differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:An NFkB target gene array (Panomics, Inc., Redwood City, CA) was performed to profile the expression pattern of 107 NFkB-regulated genes in mouse embryonic stem cells. A small scale microarray was carried out using NFkB target gene array kit (Panomics, Inc., Redwood City, CA). A long sense-strand oligonucleotide for each of the 107 human genes that have been previously shown to be regulated by NFkB signaling pathway was spotted in duplicate on the nitrocellulose membrane. Biotinylated DNA was spotted along the right and bottom sides of the array membrane as control. The arrays were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Keywords: embryonic stem cell differentiation

Transcriptome profiling of Plasmodium vivax in Saimiri monkeys identifies potential ligands for invasion

Project description:Unlike in Asia and Latin America, Plasmodium vivax infections were rare in Sub-Saharan Africa due to the absence of the Duffy blood group antigen (Duffy Antigen), the only known erythrocyte receptor for the P. vivax merozoite invasion ligand, Duffy Binding Protein 1 (DBP1). However, P. vivax infections have been documented in Duffy-negative individuals throughout Africa, suggesting that P. vivax may use ligands other than DBP1 to invade Duffy-negative erythrocytes through other receptors. To identify potential P. vivax ligands, we compared parasite gene expression in Saimiri and Aotus monkey erythrocytes infected with P. vivax Salvador I (Sal I). DBP1 binds Aotus but does not bind to Saimiri erythrocytes, and thus P. vivax Sal I must invade Saimiri erythrocytes independently of DBP1. Comparing RNA sequencing (RNAseq) data for late stage infections in Saimiri and Aotus erythrocytes when invasion ligands are expressed, we identified genes that belong to tryptophan-rich antigen and MSP3 families that were more abundantly expressed in Saimiri infections as compared to Aotus infections. These genes may encode potential ligands responsible for P. vivax infections of Duffy-negative Africans.
