Project description:A pressing clinical challenge is identifying the etiologic basis of acute respiratory illness. Without reliable diagnostics, the uncertainty associated with this clinical entity leads to a significant, inappropriate use of antibacterials. Use of host peripheral blood gene expression data to classify individuals with bacterial infection, viral infection, or non-infection represents a complementary diagnostic approach. Patients with respiratory tract infection along with ill, non-infected controls were enrolled through the emergency department or undergraduate student health services. Whole blood was obtained to generate gene expression profiles. These profiles were then used to generate signatures of bacterial acute respiratory infection, viral acute respiratory infection, and non-infectious illness. 273 subjects were ascertained for this analysis. This included 88 patients with non-infectious illness, 115 with viral acute respiratory infection, and 70 with bacterial acute respiratory infection. Samples were obtained at the time of enrollment, which was at initial clinical presentation. Total RNA was extracted from human blood using the PAXgene Blood RNA Kit. Microarray data were generated using the GeneChip Human Genome U133A 2.0 Array. Microarrays were generated in two microarray batches with seven overlapping samples giving rise to 280 total microarray experiments.

Project description:Abstract<br>BACKGROUND: Gene expression profiling (GEP) in cells obtained from peripheral blood has demonstrated to be a very useful approach for biomarker discovery and for studying molecular pathogenesis of prevalent diseases. While there is limited literature availble on gene expression markers associated to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), the transcriptomic picture associated to critical respiratory illness in this disease is not known to the present moment. <br>RESULTS: By using Agilent microarray chips, we have profiled gene expression signatures in whole blood of 28 COPD patients hospitalized with distinct degree of respiratory compromise.12 of them needed of admission to the ICU, while 16 were admitted to the Respiratory Medicine Service. GeneSpring GX 11.0 software was used for performing statistical comparison of transcript levels between ICU and non ICU patients. Ingenuity pathway analysis 8.5 (IPA) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were employed to select, annotate and visualize genes by function and pathway (gene ontology). T-test evidenced 1501 genes differentially expressed between ICU and non ICU patients. IPA and KEGG analysis of the most representative biological functions revealed that ICU patients showed increased levels of neutrohil gene transcripts, being [cathepsin G (CTSG)], [elastase, neutrophil expressed (ELANE)], [proteinase 3 (PRTN3)], [myeloperoxidase (MPO)], [cathepsin D (CTSD)], [defensin, alpha 3, neutrophil-specific (DEFA3)], azurocidin 1 (AZU1)], [bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI)] the most representative ones. Proteins codified by these genes form part of the azurophilic granules of neutrophils and are involved in both antimicrobial defence and tissue damage. This ?neutrophil signature? was paralleled by necessity of advanced respiratory and vital support, and presence of bacterial infection.<br>CONCLUSION: study of transcriptomic signatures in blood suggests a central role of neutrophil proteases in COPD patients with critical respiratory illness. Measurement / modulation of the expression of these genes could represent an option for clinical monitoring and treatment of severe COPD exacerbations. <br><br>Keywords: COPD, critical, expression, gene, microarray, neutrophil, proteases.<br><br>

Project description:Acute respiratory illness (ARI) is the leading cause of asthma exacerbations yet the mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. To address the deficiencies in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving ARI-induced asthma exacerbations, we undertook a transcriptional profiling study of the nasal mucosa over the course of ARI amongst individuals with a history of asthma, allergic rhinitis and no underlying respiratory disease. We found that ARI is characterized by dynamic, time-specific transcriptional profiles whose magnitudes of expression are influenced by underlying respiratory disease and the mucosal repair signature evoked during ARI. Most strikingly, we report that asthmatics that experience ARI-induced exacerbations are characterized by a reduced but prolonged inflammatory immune response, inadequate activation of mucosal repair and the expression of a newly described exacerbation-specific signature. Findings from our study represent a significant contribution towards clarifying the complex molecular interactions which typify ARI-induced asthma exacerbations. Upon the onset of ‘common cold’, volunteers were instructed to attend the first of three required visits to the study clinic. The first and second visits were designed to obtain samples and clinical data during the early and late stages of symptomatic illness respectively, whereas the third visit would occur when volunteers were asymptomatic and serve as a prospective baseline (BL) for the study.
