Project description:Colchicine is an alkaloid found in the plant Colchicum, which is currently used for the treatment of acute gout and familial Mediterranean fever, and is being considered for the treatment of a variety of cardiovascular diseases such as pericarditis, atrial fibrillation, and coronary syndromes due to its significant anti-inflammatory effects. Aortic dissection is a cardiovascular disease characterised by a tear in the intima and congestion of the vessel wall leading to vessel wall delamination, with a rapid onset and high lethality. This study investigated the role of colchicine in BAPN-induced aortic dissection in mice. Gavage administration of colchicine along with BAPN modelling for three weeks showed a significant decrease in morbidity and mortality, indicating that colchicine can inhibit the occurrence of aortic dissection in mice.

Project description:Objective. Colchicine is an alkaloid that is used to alleviate acute gout and to prevent acute attacks of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). However, it is not beneficial when given during the occurrence of an acute episode of FMF. It is believed that colchicine exerts its anti-inflammatory effect through direct interaction with microtubules. We aim to study the molecular basis of colchicine action by analysing the effect of this drug on global gene expression of HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cell line) cells. Methods. HUVEC cells were exposed to various concentrations of colchicine and were harvested at different time points. Ribonucleic acid was extracted, amplified, reverse transcribed and hybridized to complementary deoxyribonucleic acid microarrrays containing more than 40,000 probes to human expressed sequence tags. This approach enabled us to have a global look at the transcriptional response induced by colchicine treatment. Results. Colchicine changed the expression of many genes in HUVEC cells following exposure to a concentration of 100 ng/ml or higher. Following short exposure (30 or 120 min), colchicine affected genes known to be involved in the cell cycle and its regulation. However, change in expression of genes involved in neutrophil migration or other inflammatory processes were observed mainly after 12 to 24 h. Conclusions. The anti-inflammatory effect of colchicine may be mediated not only through direct interaction with microtubules but also through changes at the transcriptional level. This latter effect apparently requires a higher concentration and a longer time to occur. This can explain the observation that colchicine does not have an immediate effect when given during an acute attack of FMF.

Project description:Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inflammatory genetic disease characterized by elevated systemic reactivity against commensal gut microbiota and high levels of gut Candida albicans. The current study investigated the effects of Lactobacillus acidophillus INMIA 9602 Er 317/402 strain (probiotic “Narine”) on the relative abundance of gut enteric bacteria, lactobacilli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enteroccocus faecalis in Candida albicans-carrier and non-carrier FMF patients in remission with the main MEFV mutation patterns M694V/V726A- the prevalent MEFV gene mutation within FMF patients in the Armenian cohort. Our data revealed that M694V/V726A mutations in PURIN inflammasome leading to FMF disease brought to gender specific differences in microbial community structure in FMF patients. Possibly, long-term colchicine use suppresses the PURIN inflammasome/inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent IL-1β release influencing on overgrowth of C. albicans in gut microbiota of FMF patients. The comparison of Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) of enteric bacteria in C. albicans-carrier and non-carrier female patients revealed the statistically significant increase in OTUs of enterobacteria in C. albicans-carriers. In contrast to this, there were no differences in abundance of Enteroccocus faecalis between female FMF C. albicans-carriers compared with non-carriers, while male FMF C. albicans-carriers have increased abundance of E. faecalis in their gut microbiota compared with that of male patients with none carriers. The gut microbiota of FMF patients (both male and female) with C. albicans below baseline level contains high abundance of lactobacilli compared with C. albicans-carriers. The adoption of Lactobacillus acidophilus INMIA 9602 Er 317/402 leads to changes in gut microbiota composition of FMF patients. It reduces, in particularly, the abundance of enterobacteria in females, and Enteroccocus faecalis in men parallel with reducing the numbers of yeast in gut microbiota of FMF patients. We hypothesize that colchicine treatment changes the already-altered gut microbiota of FMF patients, thereby affecting the regulation of immune system by inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome. Colchicine could lead to overgrowth of C. albicans in gut microbiota of FMF patients, whereas the Lactobacillus acidophilus INMIA 9602 Er 317/402 works on activation of inflammasome by new changes in gut microbiota of patients.

Project description:PFAPA, the syndrome of periodic fever associated with aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and/or cervical adenitis, is the most common periodic fever disease in children. Cases are mostly sporadic; the etiopathogenesis is unknown. In order to shed more insights into pathogenesis, we performed microarray expression analysis on samples from patients with PFAPA during and between flares, healthy controls and patients with hereditary autoinflammatory diseases during flares. RNA was extracted from whole peripheral blood from six patients with PFAPA syndrome during flares and asymptomatic intervals, six healthy controls and six patients with hereditary autoinflammatory diseases (2 familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), 1 TNF-receptor-asociated periodic fever syndrome (TRAPS) and 3 cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS)).

Project description:We knocked down the Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene by RNA interference (siRNA) in human myelomonocytic cells that express endogenous pyrin, aiming to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) that are differentially expressed in siMEFV treated cells. The purpose of this study was to better understand the pathophysiology of FMF, through the identification of novel miRNAs involved in the regulation of MEFV.

Project description:Intratumor heterogeneity fosters the evolution of the genome leading to metastatic progress and therapy resistance. Here, we investigate the relative contribution of genomic heterogeneity involving mutations and CNAs as prognostic and predictive determinants for disease recurrence in early-stage colon cancer. We combined targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) and SNP arrays on a retrospective cohort of untreated stage II colon cancer patients to assess the association of genomic subclonality with time to recurrence (TTR).
