Project description:Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most frequent complaints among breast cancer survivors, with a major negative impact on general life. However, the etiology behind this syndrome is still unraveled. Gene expression analysis was performed on whole blood samples from breast cancer survivors classified as either fatigued or non-fatigued at two consecutive time points. The analysis identified several gene sets concerning plasma and B cell pathways as different between the fatigue and non-fatigue groups, suggesting that a deregulation in these pathways might underlie the fatigue syndrome. The fatigue group also showed a higher mean level of leucocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophiles compared with the non-fatigue group, thus further implicating the immune system in the biology behind the fatigue syndrome. Keywords: Blood RNA and late side effects Breast cancer survivors treated with adjuvant radiotherapy at The Norwegian Radium Hospital between 1998 and 2002 were invited to participate in a study assessing late treatment effects in breast cancer survivors. In the present study, gene expression analysis was performed on whole blood samples from breast cancer survivors with and without persistent fatigue, to look for different expression patterns that might shed light on the biology behind cancer-related fatigue.

Project description:ICU acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a complication of critical illness characterized by structural and functional impairment of skeletal muscle that may persist for years after ICU discharge with many survivors developing protracted courses with few regaining functional independence. Elucidating molecular mechanisms underscoring sustained ICUAW is crucial to understanding outcomes linked to different morbidity trajectories as well as for the development of novel therapies. Quadriceps muscle biopsies and functional measures of muscle strength and mass were obtained at 7 days and 6 months post-ICU discharge from a cohort of ICUAW patients. Unsupervised co-expression network analysis of transcriptomic profiles identified discrete modules of co-expressed genes associated with the degree of muscle weakness and atrophy in early and sustained ICUAW. Modules were enriched for genes involved in skeletal muscle regeneration and extracellular matrix deposition. Collagen deposition in persistent ICUAW was confirmed by histochemical stain. Modules were further validated in an independent cohort of critically ill patients with sepsis-induced multi-organ failure and a porcine model of ICUAW, demonstrating disease-associated conservation across species and peripheral muscle type. Our findings provide a pathomolecular basis for sustained ICUAW, implicating aberrant expression of distinct skeletal muscle structural and regenerative genes in early and persistent ICUAW. Total RNA was extracted from approximately 200mg of quadriceps muscle (vastus lateralis) tissue in patients with Intensive care unit (ICU) acquired weakness (ICUAW) at day 7 post-ICU discharge (D7) and month 6 post-ICU discharge (M6), and from healthy controls (C)

Project description:Millions of sepsis survivors annually face long-term neuropsychiatric sequelae of their illness. Corticosteroids are frequently administered in sepsis, and their use affects neuropsychiatric outcomes, but the mechanisms are unknown. We used the cecal ligation and puncture method to induce acute infection in mice and test the hypothesis that corticosteroid treatment during illness has long-term effects on hippocampal function. Functional phenotyping and hippocampal RNA-sequencing were performed in the same survivor mice to identify underlying mechanisms of behavioral and neuroendocrine outcomes. Long-term CLP survivors exhibited anxiety-like behavior, increased central hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, and persistent systemic and neuro-inflammation. The relationship between gene expression and behavior suggested a protective role for inflammation and oxidative metabolism after CLP. Corticosterone treatment during illness had distinct effects on hippocampal function in survivors, including object memory impairment. The long-term behavioral effects of corticosterone treatment were associated with persistent downregulation of activity-dependent gene expression in the hippocampus. The results suggest that corticosteroid treatment for sepsis influences hippocampal function in survivors via long-lasting changes to basal hippocampal activity. Neural activity, inflammation, and oxidative metabolism should be explored as future treatment targets to modify neuropsychiatric outcomes in sepsis survivors.

Project description:The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has gradually become a global public health crisis. Some patients who have recovered from COVID-19 subsequently tested positive again for SARS-CoV-2 after discharge (retesting-positive, RTP). However, the underlying mechanism is unknown. Here, 10 RTP patients, 6 convalescent patients, and 10 healthy controls were enrolled for analysis of the immunological characteristics of their peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). We sought to comprehensively characterize the transcriptional changes in the three groups by transcriptome sequencing. Our findings provide insights into the impaired immune function and pathogenesis of RTP occurrence in COVID-19, which may contribute to the development of immunotherapy for RTP patients.

Project description:Up to 80% of patients surviving acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection present persistent anomalies in pulmonary function after hospital discharge. There is a limited understanding of the mechanistic pathways linked to post-acute pulmonary sequelae. Our main goal was to identify the molecular underpinnings associated with severe lung diffusion involvement in survivors of SARS-CoV-2-induced ARDS. Survivors attended to a complete pulmonary evaluation 3 months after hospital discharge. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed using Illumina technology in whole-blood samples from 50 patients with moderate to severe diffusion impairment (DLCO<60%) and age- and sex-matched individuals with mild-normal lung function (DLCO≥60%). A transcriptomic signature for optimal classification was constructed using random forest. Transcriptomic data were analyzed for biological pathway enrichment, cellular deconvolution, cell/tissue-specific gene expression and candidate drugs. RNA-seq identified 1357 differentially expressed transcripts. A model composed of 14 mRNAs allowed the optimal discrimination of survivors with severe diffusion impairment (AUC=0.979). Hallmarks of lung sequelae involved cell death signaling, cytoskeleton reorganization, cell growth and differentiation and the immune response. Resting natural killer (NK) cells were the most important immune cell subtype for the prediction of severe diffusion impairment. Components of the signature correlated with neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte counts. A variable expression profile of the transcripts was observed in lung cell subtypes and bodily tissues. One upregulated gene, TUBB4A, constitutes a target for FDA-approved drugs. This work defines the transcriptional programme associated with post-acute pulmonary sequelae and provides novel insights for targeted interventions and biomarker development.

Project description:Background: Increased epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) in survivors of childhood cancer is associated with specific treatment exposures, unfavorable health behaviors, and presence of certain chronic health conditions. To better understand inter-individual variability, we investigated the genetic basis underlying EAA. Methods: Genome-wide association studies of EAA based on multiple epigenetic clocks (Hannum, Horvath, PhenoAge, and GrimAge) were performed. MethylationEPIC BeadChip array and whole-genome sequencing data were generated with blood-derived DNA from participants in the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study (discovery: 2,138 pre-existing and 502 newly generated data, all survivors; exploratory: 282 community controls). Linear regression models were fit for each epigenetic age against allelic dose of each genetic variant, adjusting for age at sampling, sex, and cancer treatment exposures. Fixed-effects meta-analysis was used to combine summary statistics from two discovery data sets. LD (Linkage disequilibrium) score regression was used to estimate single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability. Results: For EAA-Horvath, a genome-wide significant association was mapped to SELP gene with the strongest SNP rs732314 (meta-GWAS: β=0.57, P=3.30×10-11). Moreover, the stratified analysis of the association between rs732314 and EAA-Horvath showed substantial heterogeneity between children and adults (meta-GWAS: β=0.97 vs. 0.51, I2=73.1%) as well as between survivors with and without chest/abdominal/pelvic-RT exposure (β=0.64 vs. 0.31, I2=66.3%). For EAA-Hannum, an association was mapped to HLA locus with the strongest SNP rs28366133 (meta-GWAS: β=0.78, P=3.78×10-11). There was no genome-wide significant hit for EAA-PhenoAge or EAA-GrimAge. Interestingly, among community controls, rs732314 was associated with EAA-Horvath (β=1.09, P=5.43×10-5), whereas rs28366133 was not associated with EAA-Hannum (β=0.21, P=0.49). The estimated heritability was 0.33 (SE=0.20) for EAA-Horvath and 0.17 (SE=0.23) for EAA-Hannum, but close to zero for EAA-PhenoAge and EAA-GrimAge. Conclusions: We identified novel genetic variants in SELP gene and HLA region associated with EAA-Horvath and EAA-Hannum, respectively, among survivors of childhood cancer. The new genetic variants in combination with other replicated known variants can facilitate identification of survivors at higher risk in developing accelerated aging, and potentially inform drug targets for future intervention strategies among vulnerable survivors.
