Project description:Eighteen patients admitted to CSMC and diagnosed with COVID19 by RT-PCR were stratified into COVID19 mild/moderate, severe, and recovery groups (n=5-6/group). Venous blood was collected into EDTA coated tubes and centrifuged to separate plasma and buffy coat. Plasma was collected and frozen at -80C, and the buffy coat was collected into cryo-preservation media and frozen at -80C. Recovered cells are sorted for live-dead staining, then fixed with methanol. Fixed single cells were further captured using 10x chromium Next GEM 3 prime v3.1 kit. Two patients samples from the same group were mixed, captured and sequenced together.

Project description:Collect whole blood in tubes containing EDTA, gently invert tubes 10 times and cool as soon as practical on ice. Centrifuge to separate plasma as soon as practical, transfer to appropriately labeled tubes, and freeze immediately. I test basal glucose and plasma store plasma in -20C for one day then transfer to -80C. The next day, inject STZ 60 mg/kg ip. After 3 days, check for increased glucose and extract plasma for early stage diabetic sample >300 mg/dl. Store in -20C and then -80C. 30 days after initial injection, extract plasma and store in -20C and then -80C.

Project description:Music-supported therapy (MST) follows the best practice principles of stroke rehabilitation and has been proven to instigate meaningful enhancements in motor recovery post-stroke. The existing literature has established that the efficacy and specificity of MST relies on the reinforcement of auditory-motor functional connectivity in related brain networks. However, to date, no study has attempted to evaluate the underlying cortical network nodes that are key to the efficacy of MST post-stroke. In this case series, we evaluated changes in connectivity within the auditory-motor network and changes in upper extremity function following a 3-week intensive piano training in two stroke survivors presenting different levels of motor impairment. Connectivity was assessed pre- and post-training in the α- and the β-bands within the auditory-motor network using magnetoencephalography while participants were passively listening to a standardized melody. Changes in manual dexterity, grip strength, movement coordination, and use of the upper extremity were also documented in both stroke survivors. After training, an increase in the clinical measures was accompanied by enhancements in connectivity between the auditory and motor network nodes for both the α- and the β-bands, especially in the affected hemisphere. These neurophysiological changes associated with the positive effects of post-stroke MST on motor outcomes delineate a path for a larger scale clinical trial.

Project description:Frozen PBMC from infants 7 days before randomization (PBMC from two infant were 28 days after randomization) were stimulated in RPMI with 10% Feotal calf serum (FCS) at 5 million/ml with 1 million CFU/ml BCG (SII) or left unstimulated in a total volumn of 200ul/well in 96-well plates. Cells were incubated for 12 hours (37C, 5% CO2). Plates were centrifuged and 200ul supernatant was removed without disrupting the pellet and transferred into clean U-bottom plates. The plates were centrifuged again, the supernatant were flicked-out and the cells were resuspended in 200ul RLT buffer with beta-mercaptoethanol (10ul/ml). The samples were mixed with the buffer to lyse the cells and the plates were sealed and stored at -20C. At the time of RNA-extraction, plates were thawed at 37% for 10 mins. RNA extraction was performed using the Qiagen RNeasy kit following manufacturer's instructions (including optional DNase digestion) and RNA was eluted twice, 30 ul per elution. RNA was quantified by nanodrop and samples were stored at -80C.

Project description:The ability to isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood is vital in the development of EVs as disease biomarkers. Both serum and plasma can be used, but few studies have compared these sources in terms of the quantity and type of EVs that are obtained. The aim of this study was therefore to determine the presence of different subpopulations of EVs in plasma and serum. Blood samples were collected from healthy subjects, from which plasma and serum were isolated in parallel. ACD-A or EDTA tubes were used for the collection of plasma, while serum was obtained in clot activator tubes. We previously developed a method utilising a combination of density cushion and size exclusion chromatography to isolate EVs from plasma with minimal contamination of lipoprotein particles. In the current study, we applied this method to both EDTA-plasma and serum. In addition, EVs were isolated by a combination of density cushion and density gradient or by bead immune capturing (anti-CD63, anti-CD9, and anti-CD81 beads). The subpopulations of EVs were analysed by nanoparticle tracking analysis, Western blot, single particle interferometric reflectance imaging sensing, conventional and nano flow cytometry, magnetic bead enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and mass spectrometry.This study shows that a larger number of CD9+ EVs are present in EDTA-plasma compared to ACD-plasma and serum, and the presence of CD41a on theses EVs suggests that they are released from platelets. Furthermore, only a small number of EVs in blood were double positive for CD63 and CD81. The CD63+ EVs were enriched in serum, while CD81+ vesicles were the rarest subpopulation in both plasma and serum. Together, these findings show that multiple subpopulations of EVs are present in blood including CD9+/CD41a+, CD9+/CD63+/CD41+, CD63+/CD41a+, CD63+/CD9+/CD81−, CD81+/CD9+/CD63−, and CD9+/CD63+/CD81+ and that their presence is dissimilar in EDTA-plasma, ACD-plasma and serum.

Project description:Blood samples were collected from all participants in 10-mL EDTA-coated Vacutainer tubes. Plasma was separated by centrifugation at 3,000 rpm for 10 min at room temperature (25°C) within 2 h after blood collection and then centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C to remove debris. Isolated plasma samples were stored at -80°C until use. EV RNA were isolated by affinity-based binding to spin columns using an exoRNeasy Serum/Plasma kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). RNA libraries were prepared for sequencing using SMARTer® Stranded Total RNA-Seq Kit - Pico Input Mammalian. RNA-seq was performed by the Illumina sequencing platform on a 150-bp paired-end run.

Project description:Genetic factors contribute to the development of ischemic stroke but their identity remains largely unknown. We tested the association with ischemic stroke of 210 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with pathways functionally related to stroke. We observed an association between the rs7956957 SNP in LRP1 and next performed microarrays analysis in healthy individuals to investigate possible associations of LRP genotypes with the expression of other genes. Twelve blood samples were obtained from twelve different healthy subjects carrying different genotypes for the rs7956957 SNP of the LRP1 gene (GG, CG or CC). Blood was extracted from 12 subjects. EDTA tubes were centrifuged at 3500rpm for 15 min to obtain the white blood cell fraction and the samples were stored at -80ºC until RNA isolation. RiboPureTM -Blood kit from Ambion (Ambion, Woodward st. Austin, USA) was used to extract total RNA following manufacturer’s instructions. Globin RNA from erythrocytes that causes interference was extracted using the Globin-Clear kit (Ambion, Woodward st. Austin, USA).

Project description:Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) from blood are increasingly recognized as biomarker candidates for human diseases. Clinical routine settings frequently include blood sampling in tubes with EDTA as anticoagulant without considering the influence of phlebotomy on the overall miRNA expression pattern. We collected blood samples from six healthy individuals each in an EDTA blood collection tube. Subsequently, the blood was transferred into PAXgeneTM tubes at three different time points, i.e. directly (0 min), 10 min, and 2 h after phlebotomy. As control blood was also directly collected in PAXgeneTM blood RNA tubes that contain a reagent to directly lyse blood cells and stabilize their content. For all six blood donors at the four conditions (24 samples) we analyzed the abundance of 1,205 miRNAs by human Agilent miRNA V16 microarrays.
