Project description:More humans have died of tuberculosis (TB) than any other infectious disease and millions still die each year. Experts advocate for blood-based, protein biomarkers to help diagnosis TB, which is critical in high-burden countries. However, the protein biomarker pipeline is small. Here, we used the Diversity Outbred (DO) mouse population to address this gap, identifying five protein biomarker candidates. One biomarker, serum CXCL1, met the World Health Organization’s Targeted Product Profile for a triage test to diagnose active TB from latent M.tb infection (LTBI), non-TB lung disease, and normal sera in HIV-negative, adults from South Africa and Vietnam. To find the biomarker candidates, we quantified seven immune mediators and four proteins corresponding to a subset of highly expressed genes unique to progressor DO mice. Next, we applied statistical and machine learning methods to the data, i.e., 11 proteins in lungs from 453 infected and 29 non-infected mice. After searching all combinations of five algorithms and 239 protein subsets, validating, and testing the findings on independent data, two combinations accurately diagnosed progressor DO mice: Logistic Regression using MMP8; and Gradient Tree Boosting using a panel of 4: CXCL1, CXCL2, TNF, IL-10. Of those five protein biomarker candidates, two (MMP8 and CXCL1) were crucial for classifying DO mice; were above the limit of detection in most human serum samples; and had not been widely assessed for diagnostic performance in humans before. In patient sera, CXCL1 exceeded the triage diagnostic test criteria (>90% sensitivity; >70% specificity), while MMP8 did not. Using Area Under the Curve analyses, CXCL1 averaged 94.5% sensitivity and 88.8% specificity for active pulmonary TB (ATB) vs LTBI; 90.9% sensitivity and 71.4% specificity for ATB vs non-TB; and 100.0% sensitivity and 98.4% specificity for ATB vs normal sera. Our findings overall show that the DO mouse population can discover diagnostic-quality, serum protein biomarkers of human TB.

Project description:This study aimed to elucidate the role of microRNA miR-92a-3p in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. We focused on understanding how miR-92a-3p in exosomes derived from ectopic lesions influences the behavior of endometrial cells, DRG neurons, and Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs), and its potential as a non-invasive diagnostic biomarker. Our findings revealed that MiR-92a-3p is significantly upregulated in exosomes derived from ectopic lesions of adenomyosis. This upregulation was associated with enhanced migration and invasion capabilities in eutopic endometrial cells, DRG neurons, and HUVECs. Furthermore, the study demonstrated a significant correlation between the levels of MiR-92a-3p in urinary exosomes and the clinical symptoms of adenomyosis, suggesting its potential as a non-invasive biomarker for the disease. This study elucidates an exosomal signaling process via miR-92a-3p that drives pathological infiltration and angiogenesis to promote adenomyosis progression. Upregulated miR-92a-3p in biofluid exosomes shows promising non-invasive biomarker potential for diagnosis and monitoring of this disease. Our findings unveil novel targets and tools for improved clinical management.

Project description:Despite the uniform mortality in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), clinical disease heterogeneity exists with limited genomic differences. A highly aggressive tumor subtype termed basal-like was identified to show worse outcomes and higher inflammatory responses. Here, we focus on the microbial effect in PDAC progression and present a comprehensive analysis of the tumor microbiome in different PDAC subtypes. Tumors from 62 resectable PDAC patients were subjected to metagenomic sequencing and RNA-seq.

Project description:Myeloma bone disease is a devastating complication of multiple myeloma (MM) and is caused by dysregulation of bone remodeling processes in the bone marrow microenvironment. Previous studies showed that microRNA-138 (miR-138) is a negative regulator of osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and that inhibiting its function enhances bone formation in vitro. In this study, we explored the role of miR-138 in myeloma bone disease and evaluated the potential of systemically delivered locked nucleic acid (LNA)-modified anti-miR-138 oligonucleotides in suppressing myeloma bone disease. We showed that expression of miR-138 was significantly increased in MSCs from MM patients (MM-MSCs) and myeloma cells compared to those from healthy subjects. Furthermore, inhibition of miR-138 resulted in enhanced osteogenic differentiation of MM-MSCs in vitro and increased number of endosteal osteoblastic lineage cells (OBCs) and bone formation rate in mouse models of myeloma bone disease. RNA sequencing of the OBCs identified TRPS1 and SULF2 as potential miR-138 targets that were de-repressed in anti-miR-138 treated mice. In summary, these data indicate that inhibition of miR-138 enhances bone formation in MM and that pharmacological inhibition of miR-138 could represent a new therapeutic strategy for treatment of myeloma bone disease.

Project description:Our data showed that EIF4EBP1, NINJ1, CLIC3, STMN3, SPINK4, CD44, GSN, PRSS23 et al. were strongly downregulated by miR-138-mimics in gastric cancer (GC) cell lines. Besides, miR-138-5p has a profound effect on EMT signaling and proliferation signaling. In the EMT signaling, miR-138-5p negatively regulates the expression of SOX4, VIM, TGFB1, BMP1, ECM1 and CXCL8; In the cell proliferation signaling, miR-138-5p could negatively regulates the expression of PCNA, RHOC and CCND3.

Project description:Right heart failure results from advanced pulmonary hypertension (PH) and has a poor prognosis. There are few available treatments for right heart failure. Pulmonary artery remodeling, including changes in pulmonary artery endothelial cells to endothelial-mesenchymal cells, and aberrant fibroblast and pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) proliferation, are characteristics of the pathophysiological process of PH. As a result, the clinical situation requires novel PH diagnostic and treatment targets.
