Project description:The genes had different expression between healthy people and acute myocardial infarction.We aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes involved in acute myocardial infarction in Northeast Chinese Han people. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression to identify the differentially gene between the patients with acute myocardial infarction and healthy people in Northeast Chinese Han people

Project description:The temporal evolution of sepsis was monitored by transcriptional profiling of five critically ill children with meningococcal sepsis and sepsis-induced multiple organ failure. Blood was sampled at 6 time points during the first 48 hours of their admission to pediatric intensive care, where the children received standard clinical treatment including organ support and antimicrobial therapy. Striking transcript instability was observed over the 48 hours, with increasing numbers of regulated genes over time. Most notably, proposed biomarkers for sepsis risk stratification also showed expression instability, with varied expression levels over 48 hours. This study demonstrates the extent of the complexity of temporal changes in gene expression that occur during the evolution of sepsis-induced multiple organ failure. Importantly, stratification tools that propose expression of biomarkers must take into account the temporal changes, over the use of single snapshots that may be less informative.
Project description:Haptoglobin (Hp) scavenges cell-free hemoglobin and correlates with the prognosis of human sepsis, a life-threatening systemic inflammatory condition. Despite extensive research on Hp glycosylation as a glyco-biomarker for cancers, understanding glycosylated modifications of Hp in sepsis patients (SPs) remains limited. Our study reveals elevated levels of terminal fucosylation at Asn207 and Asn211 of Hp in SP plasma, along with heightened inflammatory responses, compared to healthy controls (trial registration NCT05911711). Fucosylated (Fu)-Hp purified from SPs upregulates inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, along with NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Single-cell RNA sequencing identifies a distinct macrophage-like cell population with increased expressions of inflammatory mediators and FUT4 in response to Fu-Hp. Additionally, Mincle, a C-type lectin receptor, interacts with Fu-Hp to amplify the inflammatory responses and signaling. Moreover, the Hp fucosylation (AAL) level significantly correlates with the levels of inflammatory cytokines in sepsis patients, suggesting that Fu-Hp is clinically relevant. Finally, Fu-Hp treatment significantly enhances the levels of inflammatory cytokines in the plasma and various tissues of mice. Together, our findings reveal a role of Fu-Hp, derived from sepsis patients, in driving inflammation, and suggest that targeting Fu-Hp could serve as a promising intervention for combating sepsis.
