RT-PCR analysis of placental tissue with chronichistiocytic intervillositis

ABSTRACT: Chronic histiocytic intervillositis of unknown origin (CHI) is a rare placental disorder associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, frequent recurrence, and a lack of effective preventive strategies. Recent insights indicate a potential link between CHI-associated inflammatory lesions and the inflammasome pathway, suggesting innovative therapeutic avenues. Here we show a potential role of the inflammasome pathway in CHI through comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of grade 2 or 3 histopathologic CHI samples, paired with placental controls. Additionally, we present case studies of three individuals with recurrent CHI, who have undergone treatment with anakinra and colchicine throughout pregnancy, resulting in improved perinatal outcomes. Notably, all cases are characterised by the birth of healthy, full-term infants, with reduced or absent intervillositis recurrence. Placental assessment unveils heightened activation of the NLRP3-PYCARD inflammasome pathway and IL-1β processing in CHI samples, with downregulation observed in treated pregnancy samples, devoid of intervillositis. Collectively, these findings suggest a potential therapeutic role for targeting the inflammasome pathway in preventing recurrent CHI in pregnant individuals

RNA-sequencing of placenta during the second half of gestation in sows

Project description:Cholestasis of pregnancy endangers fetal and neonatal survival, however, the underlying mechanisms are largely undetermined. By RNA-sequencing analysis of developing placentas, we identified "bile acids secretion" and "complement and coagulation system" as the most affected KEGG pathway during late pregnancy. In "bile acids secretion" pathway, the downregulated placental carbonic anhydrase II (CA2) expression may in part account for the impaired placental bile acids transport in response to maternal cholestasis. In "complement and coagulation system", the activated placental C5a receptor 1(C5aR1) might provide further evidence for the potential correlation of serum C5a concentration and fetal death as previously observed in humans. Collectively, these results provide new explanation for impaired placental bile acids transport as pregnancy advances, and imply the potential role of "complement and coagulation system" activation in causing adverse fetal outcomes.

Maternal pre-pregnancy obesity is associated with altered placental transcriptome

Project description:Maternal obesity is becoming a major health consideration for successful pregnancy outcomes. There is growing proof that maternal obesity has a negative influence on placental development and function, thereby adversely influencing offspring programming and health outcomes. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes are so far poorly understood. We set out to analyse term placenta whole transcriptome in obese (n=5) and normoweight women (n=5), using Affymetrix microarray platform compromising of 50,000 probe sets. Our analysis shows that the placental transcriptome differs between normoweight and obese women. Different processes and pathways among placenta from obese women were dysregulated, including inflammation and immune responses, lipid metabolism, cell death and survival and cancer pathways, vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, and glucocorticoid receptor signaling pathway. Together, this global gene expression profiling approach demonstrates and confirms that maternal obesity creates a unique in utero environment that impairs placental transcriptome.

Placental gene expression-based cell type deconvolution: Cell proportions drive preeclampsia gene expression differences

Project description:The placenta mediates adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preeclampsia, characterized by gestational hypertension and proteinuria. Placental cell type heterogeneity in preeclampsia is not well-understood and limits mechanistic interpretation of bulk gene expression measures. We generated single-cell RNA-sequencing samples for integration with existing data to create the largest deconvolution reference of 19 fetal and 8 maternal cell types from placental villous tissue at term. We deconvoluted eight published microarray case-control studies of preeclampsia. Our findings indicate substantial placental cellular heterogeneity in preeclampsia that predict previously observed bulk gene expression differences. Our deconvolution reference lays the groundwork for cellular heterogeneity-aware investigation into placental dysfunction and adverse birth outcomes.

RNA seq analysis from the kidney neutrophils of pycard mutant adult zebrafish in Mycobacterium marinum infection

Project description:Inflammasome regulates the host response to intracellular pathogens including mycobacteria. We have previously shown that the course of M. marinum infection in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) has similar features than the course of tuberculosis in human. Here we have investigated the role of the inflammasome adaptor pycard in M. marinum infection in zebrafish with two CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis generated zebrafish line. Adult zebrafish devoid of pycard showed impaired survival and increased bacterial burden in M. marinum infection. Transcriptome analysis with RNA sequencing of a kidney derived neutrophils of M. marinum infected fish homozygous for pycardptu4 mutation revealed differentially expressed genes compared to WT controls. Differentially expressed genes were associated with neutrophil degranulation, haematopoiesis and PI3K signalling are differentially expressed in the pycard deficient neutrophils when compared to wild type controls.

Transcription profiling of human ependymoma tumors with known clinical outcomes

Project description:Ependymoma, the 3rd most common brain tumor in children, recurs in approximately 50% of patients. There is currently no robust marker that predicts for recurrence, which is a significant clinical problem; We used global gene expression profiling of 19 patient surgical samples obtained at initial diagnosis and with known clinical outcomes to discover novel prognostic markers. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression profiles were generated from surgical tumor samples using Affymetrix HG-U133plus2 chips. Profiles were divided into recurrent and non-recurrent groups in order to identify differentially expressed genes that were associated with risk of recurrence. In addition, time to progression was correlated with gene expression as a continuous variable in the recurrent group.

RNA seq analysis from the kidney of pycard mutant adult zebrafish in Mycobacterium marinum infection

Project description:Zebrafish / Mycobacterium marinum model is useful in modeling human tuberculosis, as zebrafish recapitulate several aspects of the disease. We generated a mutant line for the inflammasome adaptor gene pycard to study the loss of inflammasome signaling in adult zebrafish M. marinum infection. We discovered a number of immunity related genes up- or downregulated in mutant pycard zebrafish in comparison to WT control siblings. The RNA-seq was conducted using a low dose infection (approximately 30 CFU) at 4 weeks post infection, from the kidney of adult male fish. Mock injected controls received PBS instead of bacteria.

EGFR pathway expression persists in recurrent glioblastoma independent of amplification status

Project description:Background: Glioblastoma mortality is driven by tumour progression or recurrence despite administering a therapeutic arsenal consisting of surgical resection, radiation, and alkylating chemotherapy. The genetic changes underlying tumour progression and chemotherapy resistance are poorly understood. Methods: In this work, we sought to define the relationship between EGFR amplification status, EGFR mRNA expression, and EGFR pathway activity. We compared RNA-sequencing data from matched primary and recurrent tumour samples (N = 40 patients, 20 with EGFR amplification). Results: In the setting of glioblastoma recurrence, the EGFR pathway was overexpressed regardless of EGFR amplification status, suggesting a common genomic endpoint in recurrent glioblastoma, although EGFR amplification did associate with higher EGFR mRNA expression. Three of forty patients in the study cohort had EGFR-amplified tumours and received targeted EGFR therapy. Their molecular subtypes and clinical outcomes did not significantly differ from patients who received conventional chemotherapy. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that while the EGFR amplification may confer a unique molecular profile in primary glioblastoma, pathway analysis reveals upregulation of the EGFR pathway in recurrence, regardless of amplification status. As such, the EGFR pathway may be a key mediator of glioblastoma progression.

Gestational diabetes in mice induces hematopoietic memory that impacts the long-term health of the offspring.

Project description:Gestational diabetes is a common medical complication of pregnancy that is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes and an increased risk of metabolic diseases and atherosclerosis in adult offspring. The mechanisms responsible for this delayed pathological transmission remain unknown. In mouse models, we found that the development of atherosclerosis in adult offspring born to diabetic pregnancy can be in part linked to hematopoietic alterations. Although they do not show any gross metabolic disruptions, the adult offspring maintain hematopoietic features associated with diabetes, indicating the acquisition of a lasting diabetic hematopoietic memory. We show that the induction of this hematopoietic memory during gestation relies on the activity of the pattern recognition receptor AGER and the NLRP3 inflammasome, which leads to increased placental inflammation. In adult offspring, we find that this memory is associated with DNMT1 upregulation and epigenetic changes in hematopoietic progenitors. Altogether, our results demonstrate that the hematopoietic system can acquire a lasting memory of gestational diabetes, and that this memory constitutes a new pathway connecting gestational health to adult pathologies.
