Project description:Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common mucosal infection caused by Candida albicans, characterized by inflammation and disruption of epithelial immunity. Probiotic therapy has emerged as a promising approach for managing VVC by modulating host immune responses and enhancing mucosal defenses. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of Lactobacillus salivarius HHuMin-U (HMU) against VVC using in vitro and in vivo models. HMU treatment enhanced the expression of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) such as DEFB1 and S100A8 and modulated cytokine production (e.g., IL-6, IL-8) in vaginal epithelial cells. Furthermore, RNA sequencing of HMU-treated VK2/E6E7 cells revealed significant transcriptional changes, including upregulation of epithelial barrier function and immune-enhancing pathways. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) identified the NF-κB pathway as a critical regulator of HMU-induced immunity. In vivo, HMU administration significantly reduced fungal burden, mitigated tissue inflammation, and improved epithelial integrity in a murine model of VVC. The sequencing data presented in this report provide a comprehensive transcriptomic landscape of HMU-treated vaginal epithelial cells and offer insights into its underlying mechanisms. These findings support the therapeutic potential of HMU as a probiotic agent for VVC management.

Project description:During sexual transmission of HIV-1 from male to female partners, the vagina is the initial site of contact with HIV infected semen. The mechanism of HIV traversing the CD4 negative multi-layered stratified squamous epithelial barrier of the vagina to infect sub-epithelial susceptible immune cells, is hitherto unknown. HIV gp120 binds to several host proteins on vaginal epithelial cells. To gain an insight into the physiologic changes that may occur in vaginal epithelial cells in response to interactions with HIV gp120, and obtain an understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which HIV breaches the vaginal epithelium, a global snap shot of gene expression profiles in the vaginal epithelial cell line Vk2/E6E7, treated with HIV gp120 was determined. The vaginal epithelial cell line Vk2/E6E7 was treated with HIV gp120 (83nM) for 24 hr, and Agilent one colour, microarrays were performed.

Project description:In MTN-007, a phase 1, randomized, double-blinded rectal microbicide trial, we used systems genomics/proteomics to determine the effect of tenofovir 1% gel, nonoxynol-9 2% gel, placebo gel or no treatment on rectal biopsies taken at baseline, after one application or after seven daily applications (15 subjects/arm). Experiments were repeated using primary vaginal epithelial cells from four healthy women. 36 Arrays (3 primary vaginal epithelial cell lines from healthy women donors, cultured with or without 50uM or 500 uM Tenofovir for 1,4,7, or 14 days per donor cell line. A no treatment, culture media only control was included for each donor cell line and for each time point.

Project description:The onset of menopause is accompanied by a dramatic increase in reported symptoms of vaginal dryness, soreness, irritation or itching, pain with intercourse and bleeding after intercourse. Collectively these affect 25-50% of women of post-menopausal age and significantly impact their quality of life. To examine how gene expression differs between these groups, surface vaginal epithelial cells were collected from postmenopausal women suffering from vaginal dryness and appropriate controls not suffering from dryness. Affymetrix GeneChip Human 1.0 ST microarrays were performed on RNA isolated from ten participants.

Project description:Inflammation and immune activation of the cervicovaginal mucosa are considered factors that increase susceptibility to HIV infection. It is essential to screen candidate anti-HIV microbicides for potential mucosal immunomodulatory/inflammatory effects prior to further clinical development. The goal of this study was to develop an in vitro method for preclinical evaluation of the inflammatory potential of new candidate microbicides. We compared transcriptomes of human vaginal cells (Vk2/E6E7) treated with well-characterized pro-inflammatory (PIC) and non-inflammatory (NIC) compounds. Microarraray comparative analysis allowed us to generate a panel of 20 genes that were consistently deregulated by all PICs compared to NICs, thus distinguishing between these two groups.

Suitable RNA was extracted from ten participants which were classified into two groups, the dryness and control groups, based on diagnosis of dryness by a nurse during gynecoligical examination.
