Project description:Liver transplantation is the solution for acute or chronic liver failure. There is an unmet demand for liver transplantation, as not all donated organs are transplanted. The clinical selection criteria for donated livers depends on histopathological evaluation and liver function tests. A fraction of the donor livers are rejected for transplantation due to the variability in applying the selection criteria. We applied an integrated transcriptomics and histopathological approach to characterize the donor livers evaluated for transplantation. We obtained liver biopsies from deceased donors during organ collection (n=10 accepted and n= 21 rejected for transplantation). We performed RNA sequencing to characterize the global gene expression profiles. We assessed steatosis, fibrosis, and necrosis via manual histopathological evaluation and a custom artificial intelligence-based image analysis. We identified two transcriptomically distinct subsets in the rejected donor liver group (termed rejected-1 and rejected-2), where the rejected-2 subset had a near complete transcriptomic overlap with the accepted livers, suggesting the potential for acceptability from a molecular standpoint. The liver metabolic functional genes were similarly upregulated in the accepted and rejected-2 groups compared to the rejected-1 subset. Expression levels of several extracellular matrix genes were similarly low in the accepted and rejected-2 groups compared to the rejected-1 subset. Filtering the rejected-2 subset based on histopathological evaluation identified the cases with borderline scores and extensive molecular overlap with the accepted group. Our integrated molecular and histopathological approach identified a subset of rejected donor livers that may be suitable for transplantation, thereby expanding the pool of transplantable livers.

Project description:Health care systems primarily focus on patients after they present with disease, not before. The emerging field of precision health encourages disease prevention and earlier detection by monitoring health and disease based on an individual's risk. Active participation in health care can be encouraged with continuous health-monitoring devices, providing a higher-resolution picture of human health and disease. However, the development of monitoring technologies must prioritize the collection of actionable data and long-term user engagement.

Project description:Purpose: The 10x Genomics Visium platform allows us to define the spatial topography of gene expression and provides detailed molecular maps that overcome limitations associated with sn/scRNA-seq and microscopy-based spatial transcriptomics methods. The goals of this study are to compare and identify unique transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) signature between unfavorable and favorable Wilms Tumors and against human fetal kidney. Methods: Human fetal kidney and Wilms tumor spatial topography of gene expression were generated using the 10X Visium platform Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped the reads to the hg38 genome build and grouped the spots into 9 clusters based on gene expression profiles. Conclusion: Our study represents the first implement of Visium technology in human fetal kidney and Wilms Tumor tissue, providing a number of important functional insights about the spatial and molecular definitions of cell populations across human fetal kidney and different subtypes of Wilms Tumor through analyzing gene expression within the intact spatial organization of the human samples.

Project description:There is a paucity of data on the histopathological response of peritoneal tumor deposits from colorectal cancer to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Particularly, no prospective assessment of chemotherapy-associated histopathological response within the peritoneum has been performed so far. Therefore, there is an urgent need to conduct a clinical trial aimed at prospectively assessing the histopathological response within the peritoneum in patients with peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer.
Recently, Loupakis et al. reported that the triplet regimen of 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) in combination with bevacizumab significantly improved median progression-free survival in metastatic colorectal cancer patients from 9.7 to 12.1 months as compared with fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) + bevacizumab. In view of these data, it is likely that FOLFOXIRI + bevacizumab will also lead to a significant improvement of the histopathological response within the peritoneum of patients with peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer (pcCRC) as compared with previous standard chemotherapy.
The investigators hypothesize that FOLFOXIRI + bevacizumab will induce a pCR or major response in peritoneal tumor deposits in >30% of patients (taking the response rate to FOLFOX- or FOLFIRI-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy from the published literature as a reference).

Project description:PurposeThis paper reports on a novel measure, attitudes toward genomics and precision medicine (AGPM), which evaluates attitudes toward activities such as genetic testing, collecting information on lifestyle, and genome editing - activities necessary to achieve the goals of precision medicine.DiscussionThe AGPM will be useful for researchers who want to explore attitudes toward genomics and precision medicine. The association of concerns about precision medicine activities with demographic variables such as religion and politics, as well as higher levels of education, suggests that further education on genomic and precision activities alone is unlikely to shift AGPM scores significantly.MethodsWe wrote items to represent psychological and health benefits of precision medicine activities, and concerns about privacy, social justice, harm to embryos, and interfering with nature. We validated the measure through factor analysis of its structure, and testing associations with trust in the health information system and demographic variables such as age, sex, education, and religion.ResultsThe AGPM had excellent alpha reliability (.92) and demonstrated good convergent validity with existing measures. Variables most strongly associated with higher levels of concern with precision medicine activities included: regular religious practice, republican political leanings, and higher levels of education.

Project description:We investigated an acute kidney injury (AKI) model in rats induced by cisplatin (Cp) administration. The cisplatin is widely used since its biochemical and histopathological characteristics are representative of drug-induced AKI in humans. Male Wistar rats were dosed once ip with 0, 1 and 3 mg/kg cisplatin. Tubular necorsis was observed histopathologically in all treated rats and war recovery on day 26. Gene expression profiling of the kidney cortex with microarrays 3, 5, 8, and 26 days after single administration of 3mg/kg Cp revealed a major profile pattern characterized by maximally increased and decreased mRNA levels on day 8, with clear changes already found 3 days after treatment for about half of the mRNAs. The mRNA expression pattern after administration of 1mg/kg Cp was overall similar, yet with a dose-dependent smaller fold-change. In summary we found 274 mRNAs showing significantly altered levels in the kidney of which 162 were increased and 112 decreased, respectively. Functional interpretation of the proteins encoded by these mRNAs revealed induction of a DNA damage response likely caused by the known molecular activity of Cp as DNA alkylating agent. Increased mRNAs associated with apoptosis (encoded by the corresponding genes like B-cell lymphoma 3-encoded protein, Bcl3; mouse double minute 2 homolog, Mdm2; p21/WAF1 also known as cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1), cell cycle regulation (encoded by the corresponding genes like Cyclin-G1, Ccng1; B-cell translocation gene 2, Btg2) and stress response may have partly been induced by the DNA damage, but also by the kidney damage associated with Cp administration. Increased levels of mRNAs indicating regeneration (encoded by the corresponding genes like SPARC- related modular calcium-binding protein 2, Smoc2; Tenascin C, Tnc) and decreased levels of mRNAs coding for proteins related to kidney function, indicating dedifferentiation, are likely related to the observed kidney injury. Male Han Wistar rats (8 weeks old) were randomly grouped (n = 6) and dosed once i.p. with 0, 1 or 3 mg/kg body weight cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin; Sigma Aldrich, Germany) diluted in 0.9% saline. For histopathological examination of the kidney and for kidney RNA isolation animals were euthanized on days 3, 5, 8 and 26.

Project description:Based on the findings of increased IEL in duodenal biopsies in CVID, an overlap with celiac disease has been suggested. In the present study, increased IEL, in particular in the pars descendens of the duodenum, was one of the most frequent histopathological finding. We therefore examined the gene expression profile in pars descendens of duodenum in CVID patients with increased IEL (n=13, IEL mean 34 [range 22-56] IEL/100 EC), CVID with normal levels of IEL (n=7), celiac disease (n=10, Marsh grade 3a or above) and healthy controls (n=17) by gene expression microarray GI histopathological findings in 53 CVID patients that underwent upper and lower endoscopic examination were addressed. For the microarray analysis 20 CVID (7 CVID_normal and 13 CVID with incresed IEL), 10 patients with celiac diseases and 17 healthy controls were included.
