Project description:Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder for which a definitive cure is still missing. This is characterized by an overwhelming inflammatory milieu in the colonic tract where a composite set of immune and non-immune cells orchestrate its pathogenesis. Over the last years, a growing body of evidence has been pinpointing gut virome dysbiosis as underlying its progression. Nonetheless, its role during the early phases of chronic inflammation is far from being fully defined. Here we show the gut virome-associated Hepatitis B virus protein X, most likely acquired after an event of zoonotic spillover, to be associated with the early stages of ulcerative colitis and to induce colonic inflammation in mice. It acts as a transcriptional regulator in epithelial cells, provoking barrier leakage and altering mucosal immunity at the level of both innate and adaptive immunity. This study paves the way to the comprehension of the aetiopathogenesis of intestinal inflammation and encourages further investigations of the virome as a trigger also in other scenarios. Moreover, it provides a brand-new standpoint that looks at the virome as a target for tailored treatments, blocking the early phases of chronic inflammation and possibly leading to better disease management.

Project description:Although forensic proteomics is an emerging field, it remains underutilized as a tool for criminal investigations. Here we present its use in providing key evidence in an involuntary manslaughter case. The defendant was known to be a keeper of exotic snakes, including several venomous species, which led to a probe of potential snake venom components in the blood of the deceased. One major challenge of the investigation was the overwhelming presence of several blood proteins, such as albumin and immunoglobulins, which obscures the detection of less abundant ones. To mitigate this problem, proteins from the blood were processed in four different ways involving a combination of immunodepletion and fractionation methods, then prepared for peptide identification by mass spectrometry. We were able to sequence ~15,000 peptides, but another challenge was to differentiate between human and snake proteins, given the genetic similarities that are shared by the two species. After a thorough bioinformatics search and manual inspection, we found that <1% of the sequenced peptides were matched unequivocally to snake proteins, including a well-known venom component, phospholipase A2. This led to a court-issued search warrant of the defendant’s home, followed by his arrest and an eventual guilty plea with formal sentencing to 18 months in prison. The work outlined here is an example of proteomics technology that can help to expand the scope of forensic genetics.

Project description:Forensic body fluid identification is important for crime scene reconstruction. We used Illumina HumanMethylation 450K bead array containing over the 450,000 CpG sites in 16 body fluid samples to find novel DNA methylation marker for forensic body fluid identification.

Project description:Purpose: RNA analysis of post-mortem tissues, or thanathotranscriptomics, has become a topic of interest in forensic science due to the essential information it can provide in forensic case investigations. Several studies have previously investigated the effect of death on gene transcription, but it has never been conducted with samples of the same individual. Methods: For the first time, a longitudinal mRNA expression analysis study was performed with post-mortem human blood samples from individuals with a known time of death. Results: The results reveal that, after death, two clearly differentiated groups of up- and down-regulated genes can be detected. Pathway analysis suggests active processes, rather than passive degradation, are the source of early post-mortem changes of gene expression in blood. In addition, a generalised linear model with an elastic net restriction predicted post-mortem interval with an RMSE of 4.88 hours. Conclusions: Although promising, the forensic relevance of the model is currently limited and should be further improved in more extended studies.
