Project description:BACKGROUND: Following fine needle aspiration, 15-30% of thyroid nodules are not clearly benign or malignant. These cytologically indeterminate nodules are often referred for diagnostic surgery, though most prove benign. A novel diagnostic test measuring the expression of 167 genes has shown promise in improving pre-operative risk assessment. We evaluated this test in a prospective, multicenter study. METHODS: Over 19 months, we performed a prospective study at 49 clinical sites enrolling 3,789 patients and collecting 4,812 samples from thyroid nodules >1cm requiring evaluation. We obtained 577 cytologically indeterminate aspirates with corresponding histopathology of excised lesions on 413. Central blinded histopathologic review served as the reference (“gold”) standard. After applying inclusion criteria, gene expression classifier results were obtained for 265 indeterminate nodules used in this analysis, and performance was calculated. RESULTS: 85 of 265 indeterminate nodules were malignant. The gene expression classifier correctly identified 78 of 85 as ‘suspicious’ (92% sensitivity, [84%-97%] 95% CI). Specificity was 52%, [44%-59%]. The negative predictive value was 95%, 94%, and 85%, respectively, for aspirates with AUS/FLUS, FN/SFN, or ‘suspicious’ cytology. Analysis of 7 false negative cases revealed 6 with a paucity of thyroid follicular cells, suggesting that insufficient sampling of the nodule had occurred. CONCLUSIONS: Though individualized clinical care is recommended, these data support consideration of a conservative approach for most patients with indeterminate FNA cytology and benign gene expression classifier results.

Project description:Background: Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the gold-standard procedure for diagnosing malignant thyroid nodules. Indeterminate cytology is identified in 10-40% of cases and molecular testing may guide management in this setting. Current commercial options are expensive, and are either sensitive or specific. The aim of this study was to utilize next generation sequencing (NGS) technology to identify informative diversities in the microRNA (miRNA) expression profile of benign versus malignant thyroid nodules. Methods: Ex-vivo FNAB samples were obtained from thyroid specimens of patients that underwent thyroidectomy at a referral center. miRNA levels were determined using NGS and multiplexing technologies. Statistical analyses identified differences between normal and malignant samples and miRNA expression profiles that associate with malignancy were established. The accuracy of the miRNA signature in predicting histological malignancy was validated using a group of patient specimens with indeterminate cytology results. Results: 274 samples were obtained from 102 patients undergoing thyroidectomy. Of these samples, 71% were benign and 29% were malignant. Nineteen miRNAs were identified as statistically different between benign and malignant samples and were used to classify 35 additional nodules with indeterminate cytology (validation). The miRNA panel’s sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values and overall accuracy were 91%, 100%, 87%, 100% and 94%, respectively. Conclusion: Using NGS technology we identified a panel of 19 miRNAs that may be utilized to distinguish benign from malignant thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology. Impact: Our panel may classify indeterminate thyroid nodules at higher accuracy than commercially available molecular tests.

Project description:We hypothesized that distinct protein expression features of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules may reveal novel candidate biomarkers for the early detection of lung cancer. We performed proteome profiling by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to characterize 34 resected benign lung nodules, 24 untreated lung adenocarcinomas (ADCs), and biopsies of bronchial epithelium. Group comparisons identified 65 proteins that differentiate nodules from ADCs and normal bronchial epithelium and 66 proteins that differentiate ADCs from nodules and normal bronchial epithelium. We developed a multiplexed parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) assay to quantify a subset of 43 of these candidate biomarkers in an independent cohort of 20 benign nodules, 21 ADCs, and 20 normal bronchial biopsies. PRM analyses confirmed significant nodule-specific abundance of 10 proteins including ALOX5, ALOX5AP, CCL19, CILP1, COL5A2, ITGB2, ITGAX, PTPRE, S100A12, and SLC2A3 and significant ADC-specific abundance of CEACAM6, CRABP2, LAD1, PLOD2, and TMEM110-MUSTN1. Immunohistochemistry analyses for seven selected proteins performed on an independent set of tissue microarrays confirmed nodule-specific expression of ALOX5, ALOX5AP, ITGAX, and SLC2A3 and cancer-specific expression of CEACAM6. These studies illustrate the value of global and targeted proteomics in a systematic process to identify and qualify candidate biomarkers for noninvasive molecular diagnosis of lung cancer.

Project description:Symbiotic legume nodules and lateral roots arise away from the root meristem via dedifferentiation events. While these organs share some morphological and developmental similarities, whether legume nodules are modified lateral roots is an open question. We dissected emerging nodules (EN), mature nodules (MN), emerging lateral roots (ELR) and young lateral roots (YLR), and constructed strand-specific RNAseq libraries using polyA-enriched RNA preparations. Root sections above and below these organs devoid of any lateral organs were used to construct respective control tissue libraries (ABEN, ABMN, ABELR, ABYLR respectively). High sequence quality, predominant mapping to coding sequences, and consistency between replicates indicated that the RNAseq libraries were of very high quality. We identified genes enriched in emerging nodules, mature nodules, emerging lateral roots and young lateral roots in soybean by comparing global gene expression profiles between each of these organs and adjacent root segments. Potential uses for this high quality transcriptome data set include generation of global gene regulatory networks to identify key regulators; metabolic pathway analyses and comparative analysis of key gene families to discover organ-specific biological processes; and identification of organ-specific alternate spliced transcripts. When combined with other similar datasets especially from leguminous plants these analyses can help answer questions on the evolutionary origins of root nodules and relationships between the development of different plant lateral organs.

Project description:Given the pressing clinical problem of making decision in diagnosis for subjects with pulmonary nodules, we aimed to discover novel plasma protein biomarkers for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and benign pulmonary nodules (BPN), then develop an integrative multianalytical model to guide the clinical management of LUAD and BPN patients. Through label-free quantitative plasma proteomic analysis, twelve differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in LUAD and BPN were screened. The diagnostic abilities of the DEPs were validated in two independent validation cohorts. The results showed that the level of three candidate proteins (PRDX2, PON1, APOC3) were lower in the plasma of LUAD than BPN. The three candidate proteins were combined with three promising computed tomography (CT) indicators (Spiculation, Vascular Notch Sign, Lobulation) and three traditional markers (CEA, CA125, CYFRA21-1) to construct an integrative multianalytical model, which was effective in distinguishing LUAD from BPN, with AUC of 0.904, sensitivity of 81.44% and specificity of 90.14%. Moreover, the model possessed impressive diagnostic performance between early LUADs and BPNs, with the AUC, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 0.868, 65.63%, 90.14% and 82.52%, respectively. This model maybe a useful auxiliary diagnostic tool for LUAD and BPN by achieving a better balance of sensitivity and specificity.

Project description:Microglia nodules (HLA-DR+ cell clusters) are associated with brain pathology. In this post-mortem study, we investigated whether they represent the first stage of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesion formation. We show that microglia nodules are associated with more severe MS pathology. Compared to microglia nodules in stroke, those in MS show enhanced expression of genes previously found upregulated in MS lesions. Furthermore, genes associated with lipid metabolism, presence of T and B cells, production of immunoglobulins and cytokines, activation of the complement cascade, and metabolic stress are upregulated in microglia nodules in MS. Compared to stroke, they more frequently phagocytose oxidized phospholipids and possess a more tubular mitochondrial network. Strikingly, in MS, some microglia nodules encapsulate partially demyelinated axons. Taken together, we propose that activation of microglia nodules in MS by cytokines and immunoglobulins, together with phagocytosis of oxidized phospholipids, may lead to a microglia-phenotype prone to MS lesion formation.
