Project description:Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) will be assessed for immunologic response to pneumococcal vaccination. Patients with IBD meet criteria as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for pneumococcal vaccination, yet the investigators have found that pneumococcal vaccination in this population is under-utilized. It is unknown whether or not IBD or IBD-related medications impact the immune response to this recommended vaccine.
Three groups of 25 patients each will be recruited. The first group will consist of outpatients with IBD who are receiving infliximab (Remicade TM) while on concommitant immunosuppressive therapy (with either 6MP, azathioprine, or methotrexate). This group is intended to represent a common ‘heavily immunosuppressed’ patient group with IBD.
The second group will consist of patients with IBD seen in our outpatient clinic who are not on any immune-suppressive medications. These patients meet CDC criteria for vaccination by virtue of having a chronic medical illness. The third group will consist of healthy age-matched (to the first group) controls.
After obtaining informed consent, patients will be screened with baseline lab tests including testing for antibodies against pneumococcus. At the baseline visit, patients will also undergo a brief medical history, physical examination, and assessment of their IBD disease activity.
Included patients will then undergo a one-time intramuscular vaccination with 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (Pneumovax TM). One month later, subjects will return for a blood draw to assess for response to pneumococcal vaccination.

Project description:Infinium Methylation 450 K was used to profile the epigenetic differences in 24 children between two timepoints: 12 months (baseline group) and 24 months and to elucidate the methylation differences between 12 high and 12 low PCV-13 booster vaccine responders, in order to identify pathways that show significant changes over time and those that are associated with a more robust immune response.

Project description:BackgroundPneumococcal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in young children and immaturity of the immune system partly underlies poor vaccine responses seen in the young. Emerging evidence suggests a key role for epigenetics in the maturation and regulation of the immune system in health and disease. The study aimed to investigate epigenetic changes in early life and to understand the relationship between the epigenome and antigen-specific antibody responses to pneumococcal vaccination.MethodsThe epigenetic profiles from 24 healthy children were analyzed at 12 months prior to a booster dose of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV-13), and at 24 months of age, using the Illumina Methylation 450 K assay and assessed for differences over time and between high and low vaccine responders.ResultsOur analysis revealed 721 significantly differentially methylated positions between 12 and 24 months (FDR < 0.01), with significant enrichment in pathways involved in the regulation of cell-cell adhesion and T cell activation. Comparing high and low vaccine responders, we identified differentially methylated CpG sites (P value < 0.01) associated with HLA-DPB1 and IL6.ConclusionThese data imply that epigenetic changes that occur during early childhood may be associated with antigen-specific antibody responses to pneumococcal vaccines.

Project description:Purpose: Influenza virus infections affect millions of people annually. Current available vaccines provide varying rates of protection. There is a knowledge gap on how the nasal microbiota, particularly established pneumococcal colonization, shapes the response to influenza vaccination. Methods: In this study, we inoculated healthy adults with live S. pneumoniae and vaccinated them three days later with either TIV or LAIV. Vaccine-induced immune responses were assessed in nose, blood and lung. Results: Nasal pneumococcal colonization had no impact upon TIV-induced antibody responses to influenza, which manifested in all compartments. However, pre-existing pneumococcal colonization dampened LAIV-mediated mucosal antibody responses, primarily IgA in the nose and IgG in the lung. Pulmonary influenza-specific cellular responses were more apparent in the LAIV group compared to either TIV or an unvaccinated group. Conclusions: These results indicate that TIV and LAIV elicit differential immunity to adults and that LAIV immunogenicity is diminished by the nasal presence of S. pneumoniae. This important confounder should be considered when assessing LAIV efficacy.

Project description:The objective of this study is to: 1) Characterize the cellular origin of transciptional signatures observed on day 1 after vaccination with 2009/10 seasonal influenza and pneumococcal vaccine discovered by transcriptional profiling of whole blood samples in data set “WholeBlood_SysVax”. 2) Discover potential biomarkers for immune-responsiveness to non-live vaccines. In this Series, a total of 72 samples of leukocyte subsets (neutrophils, monocytes, CD4+ T and CD8+ T lymphocytes) were isolated before and 24 hours after vaccination from 6 healthy adult individuals receiving seasonal influenza and 4 healthy adult individuals receiving pneumococcal vaccine. From each subject, neutrophils and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained by Ficoll gradient separation and then CD14+ monocytes, CD4+ T and CD8+ T cells were purified by sequential positive bead selection. Cells were transferred into RLT buffer and stored at -80ºC until mRNA extraction.

Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) predisposes individuals to secondary infections with the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus). Infections may manifest as pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis or otitis media (OM). It remains controversial as to whether secondary pneumococcal disease is due to the induction of an aberrant immune response or IAV induced immunosuppression. Moreover, as the majority of studies have been performed in the context of pneumococcal pneumonia, it remains unclear how far these findings can be extrapolated to other pneumococcal disease phenotypes. Here, we demonstrate that the viral hemagglutinin (HA) mediates bacterial OM by inducing a pro-inflammatory response in the middle ear cavity in a replication-dependent manner. Importantly, our findings show that it is the inflammatory response that mediates pneumococcal replication; not viral suppression of the immune system or epithelial damage. This study provide the first evidence that HA induced inflammation drives pneumococcal replication in the middle ear cavity, which has important consequences to the treatment of pneumococcal OM.

Project description:The objective of this study is to: 1) Characterize the immune responsiveness to administration of non-live vaccines in three cohorts of healthy adult subjects through the analysis of blood leukocytes transcriptional profiles. 2) Validate whole blood transcriptional profiles generated from standard 3mL blood draws versus 200uL blood draws obtained by finger stick. 3) Discover potential biomarkers for immune-responsiveness to non-live vaccines. A total of 621 blood samples were collected either by venipuncture (387) or finger prick (234) from four groups of healthy adults receiving either, 2009/10 seasonal influenza or 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine or placebo (saline) injections. Subjects were recruited in 3 cohorts with 4-7 individuals per group; cohort 3 was recruited for validation of the systemic day 1 immune signature in response to seasonal influenza and pneumococcal vaccination. From each subject, peripheral blood was drawn into Tempus tubes (Applied Biosystems) or obtained by finger prick into micro capillaries and then transferred into tempus reagent to lyse blood cells and stabilize RNA before storing at -80ºC until mRNA extraction. The training set for transcriptional profiling of blood obtained by venipuncture was performed in cohort 1 which included 6 healthy adult individuals receiving seasonal influenza vaccine, 6 healthy adult individuals receiving pneumococcal vaccine, and 6 healthy adult individuals receiving placebo (saline injections). The test set for transcriptional profiling of blood obtained by venipuncture was performed in cohort 2 which included 6 healthy adult individuals receiving seasonal influenza vaccine, 6 healthy adult individuals receiving pneumococcal vaccine, and 6 healthy adult individuals receiving placebo (saline injections). The validation set for confirming systemic day 1 transcriptome immune signature in response to seasonal influenza and pneumococcal vaccination was performed in cohort 3 which included 6 healthy adult individuals receiving seasonal influenza vaccine and 4 healthy adult individuals receiving pneumococcal vaccine. The training set for transcriptional profiling of blood obtained by finger prick was performed in cohort 2 and the test set in cohort 1.
