Project description:Cumulative malaria parasite exposure in endemic regions often results in the acquisition of partial immunity and asymptomatic infections. There is limited information on how host-parasite interactions mediate maintenance of chronic symptomless infections that sustain malaria transmission. Here, we have determined the gene expression profiles of the parasite population and the corresponding host peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 21 children (<15 years). We compared children who were defined as uninfected, asymptomatic and those with febrile malaria. Children with asymptomatic infections had a parasite transcriptional profile characterized by a bias toward trophozoite stage (~12 hours-post invasion) parasites and low parasite levels, while earlier ring stage parasites were characteristic of febrile malaria. The host response of asymptomatic children was characterized by downregulated transcription of genes associated with inflammatory responses, compared with children with febrile malaria, which may lead to less cytoadherence of more mature parasite stages. Interestingly, the host responses during febrile infections that followed an asymptomatic infection featured stronger inflammatory responses, whereas the febrile host responses from previously uninfected children featured increased humoral immune responses. The priming effect of prior asymptomatic infection may explain the blunted acquisition of antibody responses seen to malaria antigens following natural exposure or vaccination in malaria endemic areas.

Project description:Cumulative malaria parasite exposure in endemic regions often results in the acquisition of partial immunity and asymptomatic infections. However, there is limited information on how host-parasite interactions mediate maintenance of chronic symptomless infections that sustain malaria transmission. In this study, we identified uninfected and asymptomatic individuals and followed them until they manifested with symptoms of fever in the presence of malaria parasites and compared the gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The host response of asymptomatic children was characterized by downregulation of genes associated with inflammatory responses, compared to uninfected children and children with febrile malaria. They did show greater expression of some genes associated with the humoral response compared to uninfected children. Interestingly, the host responses during febrile infections that followed an asymptomatic infection featured stronger inflammatory responses, whereas the febrile host responses from previously uninfected children featured increased humoral immune responses.

Project description:In this study, whole blood samples were used to determine the gene expression of febrile culture confirmed enteric fever cases (ST = S. Typhi; SPT = S. Paratyphi), febrile culture negative individuals presenting to hospital in Kathamandu (sEF = suspected enteric fever), and healthy community controls (CTRL).

Project description:Viral infections are among the most common causes for fever without an apparent source (FWS) in young children; however, many febrile children are treated with antibiotics despite the absence of bacterial infection. Adenovirus, human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and enterovirus are detected in children with FWS more often than other viral species. Virus and bacteria interact with pattern recognition receptors in circulating blood leukocytes and trigger specific host transcriptional programs that mediate immune response, and unique transcriptional signatures may be ascertained to discriminate between viral and bacterial causes for children with FWS. Microarray analyses were conducted on peripheral blood samples obtained from 51 pediatric patients with confirmed adenovirus, human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), enterovirus or bacterial infection. Whole blood transcriptional profiles could clearly distinguish febrile children from healthy controls, and febrile children with viral infections from afebrile children carrying the same virus. Molecular pathways regulating host immune response were the most affected in febrile children with infection. Pattern recognition programs were prominently activated in all febrile children with infection, while differential activation of transcriptional programs was observed among viral species. Interferon signaling pathway was uniquely activated in children with febrile viral infection, while a different set of pathways was uniquely activated in children with bacterial infection. Transcriptional signatures were identified and classified febrile children with viral or bacterial infection with 87% overall accuracy, an improvement from the current clinical practice of deducing from white blood cell (WBC) count status. Similar degree of accuracy was observed when we validated the signature probes on data sets from an independent study with different microarray platforms. The current study confirms the clinical utility of blood transcriptional analysis, suggests the composition of transcriptional signatures which can be used to ascertain the infectious etiology of febrile young children without an apparent source, thus limit the overuse of antibiotics on febrile children presenting with this common clinical complaint.

Project description:Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has provoked, up to date, more than 5 million deaths worldwide. While asymptomatic individuals are responsible of many potential transmissions, the difficulty to identify and isolate them at the high peak of infection constitutes still a real challenge in the actual pandemic. Moreover, apart from the effect over the respiratory system, SARS-CoV-2 provokes severe vascular damage and thromboembolic events in critical COVID-19 patients, deriving in many related deaths and long-hauler symptoms. Understanding how these processes are triggered in response to the virus as well as the potential sequelae at the long term, even in asymptomatic donors, becomes essential. Methods: We have evaluated, by application of a proteomics-based quantitative approach, the effect of serum of COVID-19 asymptomatic individuals over circulating angiogenic cells (CACs). Thus, healthy CACs were incubated ex-vivo with the serum of either COVID-19 negative (PCR-/IgG-, n:8) or COVID-19 positive asymptomatic donors, at different infective stages: PCR+/ IgG- (n:8) and PCR-/IgG+ (n:8). Also, a label free quantitative approach was applied to identify and quantify protein differences between these serums. Results: Our results confirmed that SARS-CoV-2 promotes changes at the protein level in the serum of infected asymptomatic individuals, mainly correlated with altered coagulation and inflammatory processes (Fibrinogen, Von Willebrand Factor, Thrombospondin-1). At the cellular level, proteins like ICAM-1, TLR2 or Ezrin/Radixin were only up-regulated in CACs treated with the serum of asymptomatic patients at the highest peak of infection (PCR+/IgG-), but not with the serum of PCR-/IgG+ individuals. Many of these proteins correlate with the initial response of the endothelium against the virus. Conclusions: The incubation ex vivo of CACs with the serum of asymptomatic COVID-19 donors at different stages of infection promoted protein changes representative of the endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory response that occur after viral infection, together with activation of the coagulation process. The current approach constitutes an optimal model to study the response of vascular cells to SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as an alternative to test potential inhibitors targeting either the virus entry pathway or molecules involved in the immune responses following SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Project description:We established a bacteria infective intestinal inflammation in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). And found that β-glucan could significantly alleviate the phenotype of turbot intestinal inflammation. We performed single cell transcriptome analysis to study bacteria infective intestinal inflammation and the effects of β-glucan. Furthermore, we revealed that β-glucan through activates Th17 cells to alleviate intestinal inflammation in turbot.
