H3Africa Kidney Disease Research Network

ABSTRACT: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects an estimated 14% of adults in sub-Saharan Africa but very little research has been done on the etiology, progression and prevention of CKD on the continent. As part of the Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3A) Consortium, the H3 Africa Kidney Disease Research Network was established to study prevalent forms of kidney disease in sub-Saharan Africa and increase the capacity for genetics and genomics research. The study is performing comprehensive phenotypic characterization with analysis of environmental and genetic factors from seven clinical centers in two African countries (Ghana and Nigeria) over a five-year period. Approximately 4,000 participants with specified kidney disease diagnoses and 4000 control participants will be enrolled in the four African countries. In addition, approximately 50 families with hereditary glomerular disease will be enrolled. The study includes both pediatric and adult participants ages <1 to 74yrs across a broad spectrum of kidney diseases secondary to hypertension, diabetes, human immunodeficiency virus, sickle cell disease, biopsy-proven glomerular disease and CKD of unknown origin. Clinical and demographic data with biospecimens are collected for assessment of clinical, biochemical and genetic markers of kidney disease.

Transcription profiling time series of kidney, liver and spleen from three strains of mice infected with Trypanosoma congolense to investigate strain differences in susceptibility

Project description:In this experiment, mice from 3 strains A/J, Balb C and C57Bl6 were infected with Trypanosoma Congolense, IL1180 clone, African sleeping sickness, a disease which affects cattle in sub-saharan Africa. These mouse strains were chosen because they are a model for tolerance to infection in cattle, with A/J and Balb B being highly susceptible, and C57Bl6 being somewhat more tolerant to infection. Three tissues Kidney Liver and Spleen were harvested from cohorts at various timepoints: 0 (naive), 3, 7, 9 and 17 days post infection. Each condition thus comprises: Time, Tissue, Strain. For each condition, RNA extracts from individuals were pooled (5 per pool) prior to hybridisation.

Gene expression correlates of HIV-1 susceptibility and gene expression changes following HIV-1 infection

Project description:We sought to determine how gene expression changes during the first two years of HIV-1 infection among participants from HIV-1 serodiscordant couple cohorts from sub-Saharan Africa. This study included whole blood samples from 26 participants who did not have HIV-1 at study enrollment, had a steady sexual relationship with a partner with HIV-1 and acquired HIV-1 during follow-up. Most participants had samples from before and after infection.

Mapping diversity in African trypanosomes using high resolution spatial proteomics

Project description:African trypanosomes are dixenous eukaryotic parasites that impose a significant human and veterinary disease burden on sub-Saharan Africa. Diversity between species and life-cycle stages is concomitant with distinct host and tissue tropisms within this group. Here, the spatial proteomes of two African trypanosome species, Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma congolense, have been mapped, each in mammalian and insect life-stages represented by bloodstream form (BSF) and procyclic form (PCF) respectively. Using the hyperLOPIT (hyperplexed localisation of organelle proteins by isotope tagging) methodology, this work has provided four highly comprehensive spatial proteomes.

Expression data from Human Kidney (HK) samples

Project description:Males are 50% more likely to develop end stage kidney failure compared to women. In this study we wanted to find out the molecular mechanism responsible for this increased risk. We collected kidney samples from patients with and without kidney disease and performed a comprehensive gene expression analysis in healthy and diseased male and female kidneys. Interestingly, the set of gender biased genes in healthy kidneys were different from those in diseased kidneys indicating not only baseline gene expression differences but also that the male and female kidney respond differently to disease condition. Our studies indicate that men and women with kidney problems might need to be treated differently. Keywords: Gender difference We collected 42 kidney samples from healthy living transplant donors, nephrectomies and from diagnostic kidney biopsies. Preliminary studies did not show significant gene expression differences in control kidneys based on the collection method (i.e. living kidney biopsy vs. unaffected portion of tumor nephrectomy). We grouped the tissue samples based on the histological readings of the kidney biopsies. Samples with evidence of glomerular and tubulointerstitial fibrosis were assigned into the diseased group. Characteristics of the research participants indicate diverse ethnic and disease groups and mild (StageIII) CKD. The tissue was microdissected into glomerular and tubulointerstitial fractions and expression arrays were performed separately.

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.

Pulldown of human serum proteins with Trypanosoma brucei Invariant Surface Glycoprotein 75

Project description:Subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei are the causative agents of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) in Sub-Saharan Africa. The surface proteome of trypanosome parasites serves a critical function at the host-parasite interface and is essential for immune evasion. Most of the surface area is covered by the variable surface glycoproteins (VGSs). Embedded within the VSGs is the protein receptor Invariant Surface Glycoprotein 75 (ISG75) with unknown function. The project aims to identify potential ligands of ISG75 in human serum.

Genotyping by array of genomic variation in seven Khoe-San groups to reveal adaptation and complex African history

Project description:The history of click-speaking Khoe-San, and African populations in general, remains poorly understood. We genotyped ~2.3 million SNPs in 220 southern Africans and found that the Khoe-San diverged from other populations at least 100,000 years ago, but structure within the Khoe-San dated back to about 35,000 years ago. Genetic variation in various sub-Saharan populations did not localize the origin of modern humans to a single geographic region within Africa, instead, it indicated a history of admixture and stratification. We found evidence of adaptation targeting muscle function and immune response, potential adaptive introgression of UV-light protection, and selection predating modern human diversification involving skeletal and neurological development. These new findings illustrate the importance of African genomic diversity in understanding human evolutionary history .220 samples were analysed with the Illumina HumanOmni2.5-Quad BeadChip and are described herein.
