Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) control gene transcription by binding to and repressing the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA). Their role in the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is undefined. Blood leukocytes from 51 patients enrolled in a prior randomized trial of corticosteroids for ARDS were analyzed. After screening eight patients with microarrays for increased miRNA expression, 25 miRNAs were selected for further analysis using RT-PCR in all 51 patients on days 0, 3 and 7.
Project description:In this study, we used blood samples of nine patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection either with or without acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and analyzed them on the Illumina EPIC methylation microarray.
Project description:The Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)/Acute Lung Injury (ALI) was described 30 years ago, yet the interaction between specific sets of genes involved in this syndrome remains incompletely understood. Experiment Overall Design: 13 patients with ALI + sepsis and 21 patients with sepsis alone were recruited from the Medical Intensive Care Unit of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center between February 2005 and June 2007. Whole blood was obtained from each patient within 48 hours of admission, and RNA was extracted for gene expression profiling, and comparison analysis.
Project description:To in-depth analyze the anti-SARS-CoV-2 humoral response and find elements that can lead or prevent acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), we dissected the multiple layers of B cell responses by NGS immunoglobulin repertoires on RNA template from peripheral blood cell of severe COVID-19 patients.
Project description:We aimed to identify endotypes of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) using whole blood transcriptomics collected within 24 hours of Berlin ARDS onset in intubated children from CHOP Affy microarray and cluster analysis
Project description:Rationale: The acute respiratory distress syndrome is refractory to pharmacological intervention. Inappropriate activation of alveolar neutrophils is believed to underpin this disease’s complex pathophysiology, yet these cells have been little studied. Objectives: To examine the functional and transcriptional profiles of patient blood and alveolar neutrophils compared to healthy volunteer cells, and define their sensitivity to phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibition. Methods: Twenty three ventilated patients underwent bronchoalveolar lavage. Alveolar and blood neutrophil apoptosis, phagocytosis and adhesion molecules were quantified by flow cytometry, and oxidase responses by chemiluminescence. Cytokine and transcriptional profiling utilized multiplex and GeneChip arrays. Measurements and Main Results: Patient blood and alveolar neutrophils were distinct from healthy circulating cells, with increased CD11b and reduced CD62L expression, delayed apoptosis and constitutively primed oxidase responses. Incubating control cells with disease bronchoalveolar lavage recapitulated the aberrant functional phenotype and this could be reversed by phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors. In contrast, the pro-survival phenotype of patient cells was recalcitrant to phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibition. RNA transcriptomic analysis revealed modified immune, cytoskeletal and cell death pathways in patient cells, aligning closely to sepsis and burns data sets but not with phosphoinositide 3-kinase signatures. Conclusions: Acute respiratory distress syndrome blood and alveolar neutrophils display a distinct primed, pro-survival profile and transcriptional signature. The enhanced respiratory burst was phosphoinositide 3-kinase-dependent, but delayed apoptosis and the altered transcriptional profile were not. These unexpected findings cast doubt over the utility of phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibition in acute respiratory distress syndrome and highlight the importance of evaluating novel therapeutic strategies in patient-derived cells.
