Project description:This study characterizes the effects of chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection on gene expression by analyzing blood samples from 10 treatment-naive HCV patients and 6 healthy volunteers. Differential expression analysis of microarray data from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) identified a 136 gene signature, including 66 genes elevated in infected individuals. Most of the up-regulated genes were associated with interferon (IFN) activity (including members of the OAS and MX families, ISG15 and IRF7), suggesting an ongoing immune response. This HCV signature was also found to be consistently enriched in many other viral infection and vaccination datasets. Validation of these genes was carried out using a second cohort composed of 5 HCV patients and 5 healthy volunteers, confirming the up-regulation of the IFN signature. In summary, this is the first study to directly compare blood transcriptional profiles from HCV patients with healthy controls. The results show that chronic HCV infection has a pronounced effect on gene expression in PBMCs of infected individuals, and significantly elevates the expression of a subset of interferon-stimulated genes.

Whole blood was collected from a group of 10 patients who were infected with genotype 1 hepatitis C, before initiation of treatment at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Control blood samples were harvested from healthy student volunteers. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from the whole blood samples of the cohort using centrifugation through a 10-ml Ficoll-Hypaque gradient (Amersham/Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ), and RNA was isolated within a few hours. RNA was then processed according to the protocols recommended by Affymetrix (Santa Clara, CA), and run on an Affymextrix Human Genome U133 array.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a significant public health threat as new 1.75 million HCV infections emerged worldwide. The majority of these infections become persistently infected, while around 30 % spontaneously eliminate the virus. Clinical factors for viral clarification are related to HCV interaction with host immune system, but little is known about the consequences after HCV spontaneous resolution. These individuals are difficult to recruit and study as acute infection is usually asymptomatic, and they will not be identified unless it progress to chronic infection. The study of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of these patients is crucial, as PBMCs are one of the main HCV extrahepatic reservoirs, and its transcriptional profile provide us information of innate and adaptive immune response against HCV infection. Our research shows novel insight on molecular consequences of spontaneous resolution after an acute HCV infection. 96 Individuals with different HCV exposure status were recruited: spontaneous resolved, chronic infected and healthy controls; and the microRNA profile of their PBMCs were analyzed. Our results indicate similar disruption of miRNA expression on HCV chronic patients and those who spontaneously clarified the infection, compared to control patients. The disrupted miRNAs formed a signature of 21 miRNAs that mainly regulate lipid metabolism. This is the first report showing miRNA profile similarities between chronic HCV patients and spontaneous resolved individuals. Thus, our results suggest that HCV infection promotes molecular alterations in PBMCs that will last longer after HCV spontaneous eradication. This evidences open up new prospects in the management of individuals who spontaneously clarified infection, as they should be monitored and followed to dismiss future HCV-related complications, such us liver diseases complications. The identified miRNA signature could be used as biomarker to monitor HCV fingerprint on HCV-exposed patients.

Project description:Circulating microRNAs show great promise as novel noninvasive markers for the state of disease progression in chronic hepatitis C (CHC). We performed circulating miRNA expression analysis to identify circulating miRNAs associated with disease progression in the natural course of chronic HCV infection using a prospectively followed and well-characterized HCV-infected blood donor cohort.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Homo sapiens inflammatory skin diseases (whole skin biospies): Psoriasis (Pso), vs Atopic Dermatitis (AD) vs Lichen planus (Li), vs Contact Eczema (KE), vs Healthy control (KO) In recent years, different genes and proteins have been highlighted as potential biomarkers for psoriasis, one of the most common inflammatory skin diseases worldwide. However, most of these markers are not psoriasis-specific but also found in other inflammatory disorders. We performed an unsupervised cluster analysis of gene expression profiles in 150 psoriasis patients and other inflammatory skin diseases (atopic dermatitis, lichen planus, contact eczema, and healthy controls). We identified a cluster of IL-17/TNFα-associated genes specifically expressed in psoriasis, among which IL-36γ was the most outstanding marker. In subsequent immunohistological analyses IL-36γ was confirmed to be expressed in psoriasis lesions only. IL-36γ peripheral blood serum levels were found to be closely associated with disease activity, and they decreased after anti-TNFα-treatment. Furthermore, IL-36γ immunohistochemistry was found to be a helpful marker in the histological differential diagnosis between psoriasis and eczema in diagnostically challenging cases. These features highlight IL-36γ as a valuable biomarker in psoriasis patients, both for diagnostic purposes and measurement of disease activity during the clinical course. Furthermore, IL-36γ might also provide a future drug target, due to its potential amplifier role in TNFα- and IL-17 pathways in psoriatic skin inflammation.
