Systems analysis of the female genital tract reveals differential expression of inflammatory and epithelial barrier genes in South African adolescents randomized to injectable, oral or vaginal ring contraception

Project description:Use of hormonal contraceptives (HC) could alter the bacterial community, immune response and epithelial barrier integrity of the female genital tract (FGT) mucosal environment, leading to increased susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. Here, we tested whether use of three types of HCs, injectable Net-En, combined oral contraceptives (COC) and NuvaRing, a combined contraceptive vaginal ring (CCVR), led to distinct patterns in FGT host transcriptomics transcriptome in South African adolescent females. In an intention-to-treat analysis, we observed few changes in endocervical gene expression in the Net-En and COC groups. Relative to the COC and Net-En arms, samples from the CCVR arm had significant elevation of transcriptional networks driven by IL-6, IL-1 and NFKB, and lower expression of genes supporting epithelial barrier integrity. An integrated multivariate analysis of the cervicovaginal microbiome, transcriptome and cytokines demonstrated that networks of microbial dysbiosis and inflammation accurately discriminated the CCVR arm from the other contraceptive groups, while genes involved in epithelial cell differentiation were predictive of the Net-En and COC arms.

Exploring the female genital tract mycobiome in young South African women using metaproteomics

Project description:Female genital tract (FGT) diseases such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and sexually transmitted infections are prevalent in South Africa, with young women being at an increased risk. Since imbalances in the FGT microbiome are associated with FGT diseases, it is vital to investigate the factors that influence FGT health. The mycobiome plays an important role in regulating mucosal health, especially when the bacterial component is disturbed. However, we have a limited understanding of the FGT mycobiome since many studies have focused on bacterial communities and have neglected low abundance taxonomic groups, such as fungi. To reduce this knowledge deficit, we present the first large-scale metaproteomic study to define the taxonomic composition and potential functional processes of the FGT mycobiome in South African reproductive-age women. We examined FGT fungal communities present in 123 women by collecting lateral vaginal wall swabs for liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

RNA-seq analysis of two genealogically linked South African Diuraphis noxia biotypes

Project description:RNA was extracted from all instar (insect developmental) stages for both D. noxia biotypes SA1 and SAM with the purpose to capture as many expressed transcripts as possible. South African D. noxia biotype SA1 is known to be the least virulent aphid, while its offspring, the South African D. noxia biotype SAM is the most virulent. The overall purpose of the experiment was to establish a baseline availability of transcripts to the aphids as well as help improve on current genome assemblies. Three biological replicates of 100 aphids each was collected from both biotypes SA1 and SAM that were respectively reared on preference host cultivars. Whole aphids were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, ground to a powder with micro pistils and RNA was extracted making use of a Qiagen RNeasy kit. Library preparation for sequencing was performed using an Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA LT Sample Prep Kit following the TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample Preparation Guide, Part # 15031047 Rev. E protocol. The replicate samples from the SAM biotype yielded between 120 – 140 million 100bp PE reads and the replicate samples from the SA1 biotype yielded between 113 – 137 million 100bp PE reads (with a Q20 phred score above 98% for all replicates) after sequencing on the NovaSeq6000 system. De novoassembly was performed making use of the Trinity package.
