Project description:Shunt infections lead to grave neurologic morbidity for patients especially when there is a delay in diagnosis. C. acnes is the third most common cause of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infection and is underdiagnosed due to the difficulty in culturing this fastidious, slow growing pathogen. Currently the gold standard for diagnosis of CSF shunt infections is microbiologic culture, however, in the case of C. acnes diagnostic cultures may be falsely negative. Therefore, new diagnostic methods are needed. To investigate potential CSF biomarkers of C. acnes CSF shunt infection we adapted a previously published rat model of CSF shunt infection to C. acnes. We found elevated levels of IL-1β, IL-6, CCL2 and IL-10 in the CSF and brain tissues of animals implanted with C. acnes infected catheters compared to sterile controls at day 1 post-infection. We found modest increases in neutrophils in the CSF and to a greater extend the brain tissue of animals with C. acnes infection which mirrors the clinical findings in C. acnes shunt infection. Mass spectrometry revealed that the CSF proteome is altered during C. acnes shunt infection and changes over the course of infection with an acute phase and pathogen neutralization response at day 1 post-infection to a more biosynthetic and metabolic response at day 28 post-infection relating to healing. Collectively, these results demonstrate that it is possible to distinguish C. acnes infection from sterile post-operative inflammation and CSF proteins could be useful in a diagnostic strategy for this pathogen that is difficult to diagnose.

Project description:Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infection is a common and devastating complication of the treatment of hydrocephalus. Timely and accurate diagnosis is essential as these infections can lead to long term neurologic consequences like seizures, decreased IQ and impaired school performance. Currently the diagnosis of shunt infection relies on bacterial culture, however, culture is not always accurate especially as these infections are frequently caused by bacteria capable of forming biofilms like Staphylococcus epidermidis, Cutibacterium acnes, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and may have very few planktonic bacteria in the CSF to be picked up on culture. Therefore, there is a critical need to identify a new rapid, and accurate method for diagnosis of CSF shunt infection with broad bacterial species coverage to improve the long-term outcomes of children suffering from these infections.

Project description:Molecular biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases are critical for advancing diagnosis and therapy. Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a neurological disorder characterized by progressive neurodegeneration, gait impairment, urinary incontinence and cognitive decline. In contrast to most other neurodegenerative disorders, NPH symptoms can be improved by the placement of a ventricular shunt that drains excess CSF. A major challenge in NPH management is the identification of patients who benefit from shunt surgery. Here, we perform genome-wide RNA sequencing of extracellular vesicles in CSF of 42 NPH patients, and we identify genes and pathways whose expression levels correlate with gait, urinary or cognitive symptom improvement after shunt surgery. We describe a machine learning algorithm trained on these gene expression profiles to predict shunt surgery response with high accuracy. The transcriptomic signatures we identified may have important implications for improving NPH diagnosis and treatment and for understanding disease aetiology.

Project description:Treatment for human African trypanosomiasis is dependent on the species of trypanosome causing the disease and the stage of the disease (stage 1 defined by parasites being present in blood and lymphatics whilst for stage 2, parasites are found beyond the blood-brain barrier in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)). Currently, staging relies upon detecting the very low number of parasites or elevated white blood cell numbers in CSF. Improved staging is desirable, as is the elimination of the need for lumbar puncture. Here we use metabolomics to probe samples of CSF, plasma and urine from 40 Angolan patients infected with Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, at different disease stages. Urine samples provided no robust markers indicative of infection or stage of infection due to inherent variability in urine concentrations. Biomarkers in CSF were able to distinguish patients at stage 1 or advanced stage 2 with absolute specificity. Eleven metabolites clearly distinguished the stage in most patients and two of these (neopterin and 5-hydroxytryptophan) showed 100% specificity and sensitivity between our stage 1 and advanced stage 2 samples. Neopterin is an inflammatory biomarker previously shown in CSF of stage 2 but not stage 1 patients. 5-hydroxytryptophan is an important metabolite in the serotonin synthetic pathway, the key pathway in determining somnolence, thus offering a possible link to the eponymous symptoms of “sleeping sickness”. Plasma also yielded several biomarkers clearly indicative of the presence (87% sensitivity and 95% specificity) and stage of disease (92% sensitivity and 81% specificity). A logistic regression model including these metabolites showed clear separation of patients being either at stage 1 or advanced stage 2 or indeed diseased (both stages) versus control.

Project description:The brain is a site of persistent infected cells during HIV infection. However, the dynamics of central nervous system (CNS) infection and T cell trafficking in people living with HIV (PWH) are incompletely understood. We profiled the single cell T cell repertoire and host transcriptome from paired blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from PWH and uninfected controls. We detected HIV RNA-producing cells in 8/11 (72.7 %) CSF samples and 6/11 (54.5 %) blood samples, with a higher frequency of infected single CD4 T cells in CSF than in blood. Infected CSF T cells displayed a unique transcriptional profile compared to uninfected CSF T cells. Most infected T cell clones were not shared across tissue; however, in a subset of participants we detected identical T cell clones that were infected in both CSF and blood. Longitudinally following one PWH before and at three time points after initiating ART, we found infected T cell clones that persisted after ART initiation, in both CSF and blood, including a T cell clone that expanded in the CSF several months after ART initiation. Our findings suggest that infected T cells traffic to the CNS where they undergo clonal expansion despite ART, contributing to the CNS reservoir.

Project description:A porcine microarray study of right ventricular failure due to coronary artery ligation of the right ventricular free wall and subsequent treatment of right ventricular failure by volume unloading using a shunt between superior vena cava and the pulmonary artery (Glenn-shunt) 1. Surgical preparation with a 12 mm graft between superior vena cava and pulmonary artery, the graft is then clamped - Baseline sample using a biopsy needle. 2. After surgical preparation the coronary arteries of the right ventricular free wall are ligated, then heart failure develops over 120 minutes - Failure sample using a biopsy needle. 3. The shunt is then opened and the superior vena cava closed between the shunt and right atrium, diverting the blood from superior vena cava through the shunt for a period of 15 minutes partially unloading the right ventricle - Shunt sample using a biopsy needle. A series of six pigs, three samples from each animal: baseline, failure and shunt/treatment.

Project description:Neurologic manifestations are among the most frequently reported complications of COVID-19. However, given the paucity of tissue samples and highly infectious nature of the etiologic agent of COVID-19, we have limited information to understand the neuropathogenesis of COVID-19. Therefore to better understand the impact of COVID-19 in brain, we employed mass-spectrometry-based proteomics using data-independent acquisition mode (DIA) to investigate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins collected from two different non-human primates, Rhesus Macaque and African Green Monkeys for the neurologic effects of the infection. These monkeys exhibited minimal to mild pulmonary pathology but moderate to severe CNS pathology. Our results indicate that CSF proteome changes after infection resolution correspond with bronchial virus abundance during early infection and revealed substantial differences between the infected NHPs and their age-matched uninfected controls, suggesting these differences could reflect altered secretion of CNS factors in response to SARS-CoV-2-induced neuropathology. We also observed the infected animals to exhibit much scattered data distributions as compared to the tightly clustered corresponding controls which suggest the heterogeneity of the CSF proteome change and the host response to the viral infection. In addition, dysregulated CSF proteins were preferentially enriched in functional pathways associated with progressive neurodegenerative disorders, hemostasis and innate immune responses that could influence neuroinflammatory responses following COVID-19. Mapping dysregulated proteins to the Human Brain Protein Atlas found that these proteins tended to be enriched in brain regions that exhibit more frequent injury following COVID-19. It therefore appears reasonable to speculate that such CSF protein changes could serve as signatures for neurologic injury, identify important regulatory pathways in this process, and potentially reveal therapeutic targets to prevent or attenuate the development of neurologic injuries following COVID-19.
