Project description:INTRODUCTION Ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI)-elicited tissue injury contributes to morbidity and mortality in a wide range of pathologies, including myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, acute kidney injury, trauma, circulatory arrest 1. Ischemia-reperfusion injury is also a major challenge during organ transplantation and cardiothoracic, vascular and general surgery 1. IRI, one of the biggest challenges for organ transplantation, continues to be a vital source of morbidity among recipients, especially in liver transplantation 2. With the enlarging shortage of available donor livers, the increased use of extended criteria donor grafts further increases IRI, adversely affecting both short-term and long-term outcomes of graft and patient survival 3. Numerous studies have investigated the benefits of pharmacological, heat shock, and ischemic preconditioning interventions aimed at decreasing liver IRI 4. However, the benefit was limited. Our center has been making great effort in conquering IRI and have developed a novel surgical technique called ischemia-free liver transplantation 5. It is an ultimate method to overcome IRI in liver transplantation, but there is still a long way to popularize it. As a result, it is still of great significance to study IRI and identify the core genes in the process and the underlying mechanism. Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis has been increasingly important as a method to study various pathological and physiological condition 6. By enrolling multiple omics or combining different types of omics, comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was able to recognize key factors that could have potentially pathogenic impact such as gene expression, protein function, and downstream pathways. With the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technologies, several transcriptomic datasets on IRI of liver transplantation have become available in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Herein, we recruited 3 GEO datasets to conduct comprehensive analysis with the GEO dataset from our center. Moreover, we performed the first proteome of liver tissues to study liver IRI. Then the transcriptome and proteome were used for combined analysis to reveal key factors in liver IRI.

Project description:Nearly one third of patients with colorectal cancer develop liver metastases. It is well known that the achievement of a R0-situation is one of the most important factors for a positive long-term outcome. Despite further advantages in multimodal treatment concepts, only 20 - 30 % of the patients with metastases can be resected in curative intention.
Recent studies, especially from Norway, have shown that liver transplantation might be a feasible option in well selected patients since the complete hepatectomy with subsequent liver transplantation can be an option for the achievement of a R0 situation.
In this study, we pursue the strategy of two-stage hepatectomy combined with a left-lateral living donor liver transplantation.
Inclusion criteria are as follows: non-resectable liver metastases of a primary colorectal carcinoma with an assumed portal-venous drainage of the tumor and at least a "stable disease" after a period of eight weeks systemic chemotherapy. Patients are excluded from the study if there is an extrahepatic tumor burden (with the exception of resectable lung metastases) or if the patient is not suitable for liver transplantation due to co-morbidities.
The transplantation itself will be undertaken as a living donor liver transplantation where the left lateral liver lobe (liver segments 2 & 3) from a healthy volunteer donor will serve as graft. Prior transplantation, a left hemihepatectomy in the recipient is performed and the left lateral graft will be transplanted in this position. At the end of the transplantation procedure, the right portal vein will be closed to induce a rapid growth of the graft. The second step, and therefore the completion of the operation is performed after a growth period of the transplanted left-lateral lobe: in this procedure, the right hemi-liver of the recipient will be removed and the patient is supposed to be free of tumor at this point in time.

Project description:The purpose of this study is to demonstrate efficacy of the Avantis Third Eye Retroscope auxiliary imaging system.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the degree to which incorporating the Third Eye Retroscope auxiliary imaging system in a screening colonoscopy setting results in the detection of additional polyps.
Specifically, the primary goals are to estimate (1) the proportion of polyps detected under this protocol that would have been missed without the Third Eye Retroscope, and (2) the proportion of patients found under this protocol to have polyps who would have incorrectly been classified as polyp-free had the Third Eye Retroscope not been used.

Project description:The RecBCD helicase initiates double-stranded break repair in bacteria by processively unwinding DNA with a rate approaching ~1,600 bp·second, but the mechanism enabling such a fast rate is unknown. By using crosslinking followed by mass spectrometry, we revealed evidence for the existence of auxiliary binding sites in the RecC subunit. This was validated by equilibrium and time-resolved binding experiments, ensemble, and single-molecule unwinding assays. The essentiality and functionality of these sites are further demonstrated by their impact on the survival of E.coli after exposure to damage-inducing radiation.

Project description:In response to osmolarity, Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (S. Typhi) regulates genes required for Vi capsular antigen expression oppositely to those required for motility and invasion. Previous studies suggest that osmoregulation of motility, invasion and capsule expression is mediated through the RcsC/RcsD/RcsB phosphorelay system. Here we performed gene expression profiling and functional studies to determine the role of TviA, an auxiliary protein of the RcsB response regulator, in controlling virulence gene expression in S. Typhi. TviA repressed expression of genes encoding flagella and the invasion associated type III secretion system (T3SS-1) through repression of the flagellar regulators flhDC and fliZ, resulting in reduced invasion and reduced expression of FliC. Both RcsB and TviA reduced expression of flhDC, but only TviA altered flhDC expression in response to osmolarity. These data suggest that the auxiliary TviA protein integrates a new regulatory input into the RcsB regulon of S. Typhi, thereby altering expression of genes encoding flagella, the Vi antigen and T3SS-1 in response to osmolarity.

Project description:The opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans is a common cause of life-threatening nosocomial bloodstream infections. In the murine model of systemic candidiasis the kidney is the primary target organ while the fungal load declines over time in liver and spleen. To get a better understanding of the organ-specific differences in host-pathogen interaction during systemic murine candidiasis, we performed a time-course gene expression profiling to investigate the differential responses of murine kidney, liver and spleen and determined the fungal transcriptome in liver and kidney. We clearly demonstrate a delayed immune response on the transcriptional level in kidney accompanied by late induction of fungal stress response genes in this organ. In contrast, early upregulation of the proinflammatory response in the liver was associated with a fungal transcriptional profile resembling that of phagocytosed cells, suggesting that the resident phagocytic system contributes significantly to fungal control in the liver. Although no visible filamentation occurred in the liver, C. albicans hypha-associated genes were upregulated, indicating an uncoupling of gene expression and morphology during infection of this organ. In vitro the induction of hypha-associated gene expression in yeast cells led to altered interaction with macrophages, suggesting that the observed transcriptional changes affect host-pathogen interaction in vivo. Consistently, the combination of host and pathogen transcriptional data in an inference network model implied that C. albicans cell wall remodeling and metabolism were connected to the immune responses in kidney and liver. Furthermore, the network suggested links between fungal iron acquisition and amino acid metabolism in the kidney and host organ homeostasis. Thus, this work provides novel insights into the organ-specific host-pathogen interactions during systemic C. albicans infection.

Project description:Solid organ transplantation in the mouse is a powerful research tool that has provided a pathway to find important mechanistic insights into the regulation of allograft injury, allograft immunopathology, and transplant rejection/tolerance, and that has unique advantages over transplantation in larger species, due to the well characterization of mouse genome and availability of genetically modified animals. However, setup of mouse liver, heart and kidney transplantation is a technically demanding surgical procedure, especially the orthotopic liver transplantation in mouse. Here, we performed Microwell-based single cell RNA-seq of three mouse organ transplantation models (liver, heart and kidney). Comparison of lymphocytes, parenchyma cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in liver, heart and kidney revealed distinct immune microenvironment at acute rejection and tolerance state respectively. Single-cell transcriptome analysis of mouse allograft without immunosuppressive drugs provided rich resources to help understand functioning solid-organ transplantation in human.
