Project description:Circulating nucleic acids (CNAs) are under investigation as a liquid biopsy in cancer. However there is wide variation in blood processing and methods for isolation of circulating free DNA (cfDNA) and microRNAs (miRNAs). Here we compare the extraction efficiency and reproducibility of 4 commercially available kits for cfDNA and 3 for miRNA using spike-in of reference templates. We also compare the effects of increasing time between venepuncture and centrifugation and differential centrifugation force on recovery of CNAs. cfDNA was quantified by TaqMan qPCR and targeted deep sequencing. miRNA profiles were assessed with TaqMan low-density arrays and assays. The QIAamp(®) DNA Blood Mini and Circulating nucleic acid kits gave the highest recovery of cfDNA and efficient recovery (>90%) of a 564bp spike-in. Moreover, targeted sequencing revealed overlapping cfDNA profiles and variant depth, including detection of HER2 gene amplification, using the Ion AmpliSeq™Cancer Hotspot Panel v2. Highest yields of miRNA and the synthetic Arabidopsis thaliana miR-159a spike-in were obtained using the miRNeasy Serum/Plasma kit, with saturation above 200 µl of plasma. miRNA profiles showed significant variation with increasing time before centrifugation (p<0.001) and increasing centrifugation force, with depletion of platelet associated miRNAs, whereas cfDNA was unaffected. However, sample replicates showed excellent reproducibility on TaqMan low density arrays (ρ = 0.96, p<0.0001). We also successfully generated miRNA profiles for plasma samples stored > 12 years, highlighting the potential for analysis of stored sample biobanks. In the era of the liquid biopsy, standardisation of methods is required to minimise variation, particularly for miRNA.

Project description:We found the transpeptidase Sortase A also binds nucleic acids and mediates mammalian cell labeling. We confiremed the labeling reaction using . Furthermore, a variety of additional classes of wild-type sortase and engineered mutants of sortase A exhibited the ability to label the surface of mammalian cells with nucleic acids. Heparin on the cell surface appears to be involved, and sortase might serve as an anchor for the nucleic acids. Interestingly, the bacterial sortases of Staphylococcus aureus spontaneously bind extracellular oligonucleotides, which seems to be related to the involvement of sortase and the participation of extracellular nucleic acids in the formation of bacterial biofilms. Finally, we utilized the cell-labeling capability of mgSrtA to enable highly efficient and ready-to-use multiplexed cell labeling for single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq).

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease with multifactorial ethiopathogenesis. The complement system is involved in both the early and late stages of disease development and organ damage. To better understand autoantibody mediated complement consumption the GAPAID consortium examined ex vivo immune complex formation on autoantigen arrays. We recruited patients with SLE (n=211), with other systemic autoimmune diseases (n=65) and non-autoimmune control subjects (n=149) in two rheumatology tertiary care centers. Standard clinical and laboratory data were collected from all subjects and serum complement levels were determined in SLE patients. The genotype of SNP rs1143679 in the ITGAM gene was also determined. On-chip formation of immune complexes was examined using a functional immunoassay on autoantigen microarray. The amount of antigen-bound IgM, IgG and complement C4 and C3 was quantified on autoantigens comprising nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. Our results show that the relatively high complement consumption of nucleic acids is further increased upon binding of IgM and IgG. This is true even when serum complement levels are decreased due to complement consumption in SLE patients. A negative correlation between serum complement levels and ex vivo complement deposition on nucleic acid autoantigens is demonstrated. On the contrary, most protein and lipid autoantigens show positive correlation with C4 and C3 levels. Genetic analysis reveals that the non-synonymous variant rs1143679 in complement receptor type 3 is associated with an increased production of anti-dsDNA IgG antibodies. Notwithstanding, homozygous carriers of the previously reported susceptible allele (AA) have lower levels of dsDNA specific IgM among SLE patients. Regarding organ involvement we find that besides anti-C1q IgG, low levels of dsDNA specific IgM and low complement C4 binding to C1q are also associated with renal injury. In summary, nucleic acids maintain a skewed complement deposition balance when bound by IgG and IgM, depleting the early classical complement pathway from other physiological processes. Dysfunction of the receptor responsible for complement-mediated apoptotic debris removal promotes the development of autoantibodies targeting nucleic acids. These observations provide serological and genetic evidence for complement-mediated clearance deficiency of apoptotic debris in lupus.

Project description:We developed a new method to extract cfNA (containing cfDNA, cfRNA and viral RNA) from serum/plasma based on the adsorption of nucleic acids by MOF materials (Co-IRMOF-74-IV), and compared the extraction capability with commercial kit method. We conducted a comprehensive characterization of the cell-free RNA in a small number of clinical samples, including patients with HCC (n=14), CHB (n=17) and normal individuals (n=8). And then we build a model with 6 cfRNA signature to diagnose liver cancer, and indicated high diagnostic efficiency (AUC=0.905) in the independent validation cohort (HCC n=7, CHB n=4 and normal individuals n=8)
