Project description:Large-scale transcriptome and methylome data analyses obtained by high-throughput technologies have been enabling the identification of novel imprinted genes. We investigated genome-wide DNA methylation patterns in multiple human tissues, using a high-resolution microarray to uncover hemimethylated CpGs located in promoters overlapping CpG islands, aiming to identify novel candidate imprinted genes. Using our approach, we recovered ~30% of the known human imprinted genes, further 168 candidates were identified, 61 of which with at least three hemimethylated CpGs shared by more than two tissue types. Thirty-four of these candidate genes are members of the protocadherins cluster on 5q31.3; in mice, protocadherin genes have non-imprinted monoallelic randomic expression, which might be the case in humans. Among the remaining 27 genes, ZNF331 was recently validated as an imprinted gene, and six of them have been reported as candidates, supporting our prediction. Five candidates (CCDC166, ARC, PLEC, TONSL and VPS28) map to 8q24.3, and might constitute a novel imprinted cluster. Additionally, we performed a comprehensive compilation of known human and mice imprinted genes from literature and databases, and a comparison among high-throughput imprinting studies in humans. The screening for hemimethylated CpGs shared by multiple human tissues, together with the extensive review, appears as a useful approach to reveal candidate imprinted genes.

Project description:To assess whether transcriptional differences exist in the epithelial tissue and the inflammatory infiltrate of invasive Aspergillus tracheobronchitis in patients with severe influenza or severe COVID-19, we performed GeoMx spatial transcriptomics on four biopsy samples in total: two of patients with influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (IAPA) and two of patients with COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA). Several regions of interest (ROIs) were delineated in each biopsy sample, and transcriptomic data was derived of each of these ROIs using GeoMx with a whole transcriptome atlas with SARS-CoV-2 spike-in.

Project description:Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a distinct clinical and pathologic entity. This condition can be cryptogenic (COP) or secondary to other known causes (secondary OP, SOP). Concomitant occurrence of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) with SOP is unusual. Here, we report a case where SOP was a presenting feature in a patient with diagnosed IPA. A previously healthy 62-year-old man presented to the hospital with a month of intermittent fever accompanied by cough and expectoration. According to computed tomography (CT), sputum culture, and transbronchial lung biopsy, he was diagnosed as IPA. Despite undergoing voriconazole and dexamethasone therapy, the patient's condition did not improve after three weeks of therapy. CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy performed in the left upper lung showed invasive airway aspergillosis with organizing pneumonia. Two months after the combination therapy of voriconazole and methylprednisolone, the CT scan indicated the pulmonary consolidations were almost entirely resolved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of successful non-surgical treatment of IPA with SOP. In a review of the literature, we aimed to highlight the possibility of invasive airway aspergillosis concurrent with secondary organizing pneumonia. Physicians should be aware of the possibility of SOP in the case of IPA.

Project description:Introduction. Hodgkin lymphoma is a highly curable lymphoid malignancy; however treatment of a significant number of patients remains challenging. Case Report. The authors present an unusually rapidly progressing case of refractory advanced stage classical nodular sclerosis subtype Hodgkin lymphoma with unfavorable prognosis. A 66-year-old male patient was refractory for first-line doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastin, dacarbazine (ABVD) treatment with persistent disease; therefore physicians changed treatment for dexamethasone, cytarabine, and cisplatin (DHAP) and later ifosfamide, gemcitabine, and vinorelbine (IGEV) regimen. Unfortunately the patient developed acute kidney and respiratory failure and died after 6 months of treatment. Current and retrospective histological examination of the patient's lymph node biopsy, skin lesion, and autopsy revealed the same aberrantly expressing CD4 positive nodular sclerosis subtype Hodgkin lymphoma. Conclusion. Aberrant expression of T-cell antigens on the Hodgkin and Reed/Sternberg cells could be associated with inferior outcome. T-cell associated antigens should be investigated more often in patients not responding sufficiently to treatment and hence treatment should be intensified or targeted therapy (brentuximab vedotin) should be considered.

Project description:A 56-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for recurrent asthma of 20 years duration. She was diagnosed as having allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis on the basis of clinical symptoms, peripheral blood eosinophilia, elevated total serum immunoglobulin E value, positive results of specific IgE and precipitating antibodies against Aspergillus sp., central bronchiectasis, and mucoid impaction. Systemic corticosteroids and anti-fungal therapy improved her symptoms, but the cessation of these treatments led to frequent exacerbations. Omalizumab improved her asthmatic symptoms to the point that corticosteroids could be stopped; however, radiological findings were not improved, and coexisting eosinophilic sinusitis and otitis media worsened. After her treatment was changed from omalizumab to mepolizumab, not only her asthmatic symptoms but also her sinusitis and otitis media became well controlled, and chest radiological findings improved.

Project description:No major predisposing gene for familial myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) has been identified. Here, we demonstrate that the autosomal dominant transmission of a 700 kb duplication in four geographically-related families predisposes to MPN rapidly progressing to acute leukemia. Using induced pluripotent stem and primary cells to explore hematopoietic differentiation, we demonstrate that overexpressed ATG2B and GSKIP enhance hematopoietic progenitor differentiation, including megakaryocytic through increasing their sensitivity to TPO. ATG2B and GSKIP cooperate with acquired JAK2, MPL and CALR mutations during MPN development. Thus, the germline duplication changes the fitness of cells harboring signaling mutations and increases the probability of disease development. 14 samples corresponding to iPSC and control cases (Cy5) where hybridized in dual color against commercial normal reference DNA (Cy3) of matched sex, except for samples with unknown gender for which male normal was used as reference.
