Project description:Since live West Nile Virus (WNV) has rarely been detected in the autopsy brain tissue, plasma or CSF of WNV patients, our objective is study the early repsonses of astrocytes, which could get primed by viral particles. The long-term goal of this project is to determine the neuropathologic basis of WNV infection with a hope to develop specific treatments, treatments that will have a broader impact, and help design innovative strategies to treat WNV as well as other forms of neuroinvasive viral infections

Project description:Central nervous system B cells have several potential roles in multiple sclerosis (MS): secretors of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, presenters of autoantigens to T cells, producers of pathogenic antibodies, and reservoirs for viruses that trigger demyelination. To interrogate these roles, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) was performed on paired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood from subjects with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS; n = 12), other neurologic diseases (ONDs; n = 1), and healthy controls (HCs; n = 3). Single-cell immunoglobulin sequencing (scIg-Seq) was performed on a subset of these subjects and additional RRMS (n = 4), clinically isolated syndrome (n = 2), and OND (n = 2) subjects. Further, paired CSF and blood B cell subsets (RRMS; n = 7) were isolated using fluorescence activated cell sorting for bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Independent analyses across technologies demonstrated that nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B) and cholesterol biosynthesis pathways were activated, and specific cytokine and chemokine receptors were up-regulated in CSF memory B cells. Further, SMAD/TGF-ß1 signaling was down-regulated in CSF plasmablasts/plasma cells. Clonally expanded, somatically hypermutated IgM+ and IgG1+ CSF B cells were associated with inflammation, blood–brain barrier breakdown, and intrathecal Ig synthesis. While we identified memory B cells and plasmablast/plasma cells with highly similar Ig heavy-chain sequences across MS subjects, similarities were also identified with ONDs and HCs. No viral transcripts, including from Epstein–Barr virus, were detected. Our findings support the hypothesis that in MS, CSF B cells are driven to an inflammatory and clonally expanded memory and plasmablast/plasma cell phenotype.

ABSTRACT
Combined virotherapy and immunotherapy has been emergingas a promising and effective cancer treatment for some time.Intratumoural injections of an oncolytic virus instigate an immunereaction in the host, resulting in an influx of immune cells tothe tumour site. Through combining an oncolytic viral vector withimmunostimulatory cytokines an additional antitumour immuneresponse can be initiated, whereby immune cells induce apoptosisin both uninfected and virus infected tumour cells. We developa mathematical model to reproduce the experimental results fortumour growth under treatment with an oncolytic adenovirus co-expressing the immunostimulatory cytokines interleukin 12 (IL-12)and granulocyte-monocyte colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Byexploring heterogeneity in the immune cell stimulation by thetreatment, we find a subset of the parameter space for the immunecell induced apoptosis rate, in which the treatment will be lesseffective in a short time period. Therefore, we believe the bivariatenature of treatment outcome, whereby tumours are either completelyeradicated or grow unbounded, can be explained by heterogeneity inthis immune characteristic. Furthermore, the model highlights theapparent presence of negative feedback in the helper T cell and APCstimulation dynamics, when IL-12 and GM-CSF are co-expressed asopposed to individually expressed by the viral vector.

Project description:We performed shallow whole genome sequencing (WGS) on circulating free (cf)DNA extracted from plasma or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and shallow WGS on the tissue DNA extracted from the biopsy in order to evaluate the correlation between the two biomaterials. After library construction and sequencing (Hiseq3000 or Ion Proton), copy number variations were called with WisecondorX.

Project description:Aging is associated with declining immunity and inflammation as well as alterations in the gut microbiome with a decrease of beneficial microbes and increase in pathogenic ones. The aim of this study was to investigate aging associated gut microbiome in relation to immunologic and metabolic profile in a non-human primate (NHP) model. 12 old (age>18 years) and 4 young (age 3-6 years) Rhesus macaques were included in this study. Immune cell subsets were characterized in PBMC by flow cytometry and plasma cytokines levels were determined by bead based multiplex cytokine analysis. Stool samples were collected by ileal loop and investigated for microbiome analysis by shotgun metagenomics. Serum, gut microbial lysate and microbe-free fecal extract were subjected to metabolomic analysis by mass-spectrometry. Our results showed that the old animals exhibited higher inflammatory biomarkers in plasma and lower CD4 T cells with altered distribution of naïve and memory T cell maturation subsets. The gut microbiome in old animals had higher abundance of Archaeal and Proteobacterial species and lower Firmicutes than the young. Significant enrichment of metabolites that contribute to inflammatory and cytotoxic pathways was observed in serum and feces of old animals compared to the young. We conclude that aging NHP undergo immunosenescence and age associated alterations in the gut microbiome that has a distinct metabolic profile.
