The conjunctival transcriptome in scarring trachoma for Tanzanians


ABSTRACT: Trachoma is a poorly understood immuno-fibrogenic disease process, initiated by Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct). Differences in conjunctival gene expression profiles between Tanzanians with trachomatous conjunctival scarring (with (TSI) and without (TS) inflammation) and controls (C) were investigated to identify relevant host responses. Tarsal conjunctival swab samples were collected for RNA isolation and Ct PCR. Transcriptome-wide microarray experiments were conducted on 41 samples (TSI 13, TS 15, C14). Cases had enrichment in proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines (IL1B, IL8, CXCL5, CCL20); Matrix metalloprotienases (MMP7, MMP9, MMP12); components of the cornified envelope / squamous metaplasia (SPRR2a, SPRR2F).
