Project description:Chronic Otitis Media (OM) develops after sustained inflammation and is characterized by secretory middle ear epithelial metaplasia and effusion, most frequently mucoid. Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), the most common acute OM pathogen, is known to activate inflammation and mucin expression in vitro and in animal models of OM. The goals of this study were to: examine expression profiling epithelial effects of NTHi challenge in murine middle ears. We used microarrays to detail examine the global programme of gene expression underlying epithelial effects of NTHi challenge in murine middle ears during this study.

Project description:The presence of tumor cells in effusions within serosal cavities is a clinical manifestation of advanced-stage cancer and is generally associated with poor survival. Identifying molecular targets may help to design efficient treatments to eradicate these aggressive cancer cells and improve patient survival. Using a state-of-the-art Taqman-based qRT-PCR assay, we investigated the multidrug resistance (MDR) transcriptome of 32 unpaired ovarian serous carcinoma effusion samples obtained at diagnosis or at disease recurrence following chemotherapy. MDR genes were selected a priori based on an extensive curation of the literature published during the last three decades. We found three gene signatures with a statistically significant correlation with overall survival (OS), response to treatment (complete response - CR vs. other), and progression free survival (PFS). The median log-rank p-values for the signatures were 0.023, 0.034, and 0.008, respectively. No correlation was found with residual tumor status after cytoreductive surgery, treatment (with or without chemotherapy) and stage defined according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Further analyses demonstrated that gene expression alone can effectively predict the survival outcome of women with ovarian serous carcinoma (OS: log-rank p=0.0000 and PFS: log-rank p=0.002). Interestingly, the signature for overall survival is the same in patients at first presentation and those who had chemotherapy and relapsed. This pilot study highlights two new gene signatures that may help in optimizing the treatment for ovarian carcinoma patients with effusions. In the study presented here, effusion samples were obtained from 32 patients diagnosed with serous ovarian carcinoma (n=25), primary peritoneal serous carcinoma (n=6) or tubal serous carcinoma (n=1). They were accrued at the Division of Pathology in the Norwegian Radium Hospital from 2000-2006. RNA was used to study the expression profile of 381 multidrug resistant-related genes.

Project description:Objective: Otitis media is known to alter expression of cytokine and other genes in the mouse middle ear and inner ear. However, whole mouse genome studies of gene expression in otitis media have not previously been undertaken. Ninety-nine percent of mouse genes are shared in the human, so these studies are relevant to the human condition. Methods: To assess inflammation-driven processes in the mouse ear, gene chip analyses were conducted on mice treated with trans-tympanic heat-killed Hemophilus influenza using untreated mice as controls. Middle and inner ear tissues were separately harvested at 6 hours, RNA extracted, and samples for each treatment processed on the Affymetrix 430 2.0 Gene Chip for expression of its 34,000 genes. Results: Statistical analysis of gene expression compared to control mice showed significant alteration of gene expression in 2,355 genes, 11% of the genes tested and 8% of the mouse genome. Significant middle and inner ear upregulation (fold change >1.5, p<0.05) was seen in 1,081 and 599 genes respectively. Significant middle and inner ear downregulation (fold change <0.67, p<0.05) was seen in 978 and 287 genes respectively. While otitis media is widely believed to be an exclusively middle ear process with little impact on the inner ear, the inner ear changes noted in this study were numerous and discrete from the middle ear responses. This suggests that the inner ear does indeed respond to otitis media and that its response is a distinctive process. Numerous new genes, previously not studied, are found to be affected by inflammation in the ear. Conclusion: Whole genome analysis via gene chip allows simultaneous examination of expression of hundreds of gene families influenced by inflammation in the middle ear. Discovery of new gene families affected by inflammation may lead to new approaches to the study and treatment of otitis media.

Project description:Soluble HLA (sHLA) molecules released to the plasma, carry their original peptide cargo and provide insight into the protein synthesis and degradation schemes of their source cells and tissues. Other body fluids, such as pleural effusions, may also contain sHLA-peptide complexes, and can potentially serve as a source of tumor antigens since these fluids are drained from the tumor microenvironment. Thus, we developed a methodology for purifying and analysing large pleural effusion sHLA class I peptidomes of patients inflicted with malignancies or benign diseases. The cleared pleural fluids, the cell pellets present in the pleural effusions, and the primary tumor cells cultured from cancer patients’ effusions, were used for immunoaffinity purification of the HLA molecules. The recovered HLA peptides were analyzed by capillary chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry and the resulting LC-MS/MS data was analyzed with the MaxQuant software tool. Large HLA peptidomes were obtained by the analysis of the pleural effusions. The majority of peptides identified from the pleural effusions were defined as HLA ligands that fit the patients’ HLA consensus sequence motifs. The membranal and soluble HLA peptidomes of each individual patient were somewhat similar to each other. Many of the HLA peptides were derived from known tumor-associated antigens, lung-related proteins, and VEGF pathway proteins. Thus, the pleural effusion HLA peptidome of patients with malignant tumors can serve as a rich source of biomarkers for tumor diagnosis and personalized immunotherapy.

Project description:Primary effusion lymphomas (PELs) are specifically associated with KSHV/HHV-8 infection, and most frequently occur in HIV-positive individuals as lymphomatous effusions in the serous cavities without a detectable solid tumor mass. Most PELs have concomitant EBV infection, suggesting that EBV is an important pathogenetic co-factor, although other as yet unidentified cofactors, such as cellular genetic alterations, are also likely to play a role. Lymphomatous effusions that lack KSHV also occur; these are frequently EBV-associated in the setting of HIV infection. Here we used gene expression profile analysis to determine the viral impact on cellular gene expression and the pathogenesis of these lymphomatous effusions. We used the Affymetrix HG-U133A microarray to analyze the gene expression profile of these effusion lymphomas (three virologic groups: KSHV-positive EBV-positive PELs, KSHV-positive EBV-negative PELs and KSHV-negative EBV-positive lymphomatous effusions). Nine cell lines derived from patients with lymphomatous effusions (three from each virologic group and each cell line was done in duplicates.) and three PEL patient samples were used in the study. Our results suggest that KSHV-positive PELs are very different from KSHV-negative lymphomatous effusions, and the genes that are differentially expressed include apoptosis regulators, cell cycle regulators, transcriptional factors and signal transduction regulators. KSHV clearly plays a dominant role in the phenotype of PEL. Within the KSHV-positive PELs, two subgroups can be identified, which were correlated with their EBV viral status. Among these genes (45 gene probes), four were regulators of the MAP kinase pathway that were up-regulated in the KSHV-positive, EBV-negative PELs, suggesting that in the absence of EBV, events that lead to the activation of the MAP kinase pathway may act as a cofactor for the development of PEL. Next we determined whether we could predict the viral status of the three primary patient cases of PEL based on the 45 gene probes that were differentially expressed in KSHV-positive cell lines according to EBV status (pt. 1: KSHV-positive, EBV-positive; Pt. 2: KSHV-positive, low proportion of EBV-positive; pt. 3: KSHV-positive EBV-negative), and we could.<br><br>Samples:<br>KSHV-positive EBV-positive cell lines: BC-1, BC-2, BC-5 <br>KSHV-positive EBV-negative cell lines: BC-3, BCBL-1, PEL-5 <br>KSHV-negative EBV-positive cell lines: IBL4, SM1, BCKN-1 <br>Patient 1: KSHV-positive, EBV-positive <br>Patient 2: KSHV-positive, EBV-positive (low number of positive cells) <br>Patient 3: KSHV-positive, EBV-negative.

Project description:Recurrent otitis (ROM) is a pathological conditions in which a children have at least three episodes of acute otitis media over a course of 6 months. In this study we focused in proteins dysregulated between ROM and adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH). Tissue sample of seven ROM and seven ATH were obtained and submitted to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry (MS) for protein identification and western-blotting for data validation. We identified 23 significantly (p<0.05) protein spots. The expression of two proteins were validated by western-blotting. The 2-DE coupled with MS approach identified several proteins involved in cellular and metabolic processes. Further study are needed to better understanding the role of this proteins in ROM.
