Distinct mucosal and systemic immunological characteristics in transgender women potentially relating to HIV acquisition.

Project description:Transgender women (TGW) are disproportionally affected by HIV infection, with a global estimated prevalence of 19.9%, often attributed to behavioral risk factors, with less known about biological factors. We evaluated potential biological risk factors for HIV acquisition in TGW at the sites of viral entry by assessing immune parameters of the neovaginal surface and gut mucosa. The neovagina in TGW, compared with the vagina in cisgender women (CW), shows distinct cell composition and may pose a more inflammatory environment, evidenced by increased CD4+ T cell activation and higher levels of soluble markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein, soluble CD30). Increased inflammation may be driven by microbiome composition, as shown by a greater abundance of Prevotella and a higher Shannon Diversity Index. In addition, we have observed higher frequency of CD4+CCR5+ target cells and decreased DNA methylation of the CCR5 gene in the gut mucosa of TGW compared with CW and men who have sex with men, which was inversely correlated with testosterone levels. The rectal microbiome composition in TGW appears to favor a proinflammatory milieu as well as mucosal barrier disruption. Thus, it is possible that increased inflammation and higher frequencies of CCR5-expressing target cells at sites of mucosal viral entry may contribute to increased risk of HIV acquisition in TGW, with further validation in larger studies warranted.

CBLL1 is hypomethylated and correlates with cortical thickness in transgender men before gender affirming hormone treatment

Project description:We measured whole-genome DNA methylation by the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 850 array and reported its correlation with cortical thickness (CTh) in 22 transgender men (TM) experiencing GD versus 25 cisgender men (CM) and 28 cisgender women (CW). With respect to the methylation analysis, TM vs. CW showed significant differences in 35 CpGs, while 2,155 CpGs were found when TM vs. CM were compared. With respect to correlation analysis, TM showed differences in methylation of CBLL1 and DLG1 genes that correlated with global and left hemisphere CTh. Both genes were hypomethylated in TM compared to the cisgender groups. Early onset TM showed a positive correlation between CBLL1 and several cortical regions in the frontal (left caudal middle frontal), temporal (right inferior temporal, left fusiform) and parietal cortices (left supramarginal and right paracentral). This is the first study relating CBLL1 methylation with CTh in transgender persons and supports a neurodevelopmental hypothesis of gender identity

Characterization of a Distinct Rectal Mucosal Transcriptome among Transgender Women utilizing Cross-Sex Hormone Therapy

Project description:A comparison of rectal mucosal RNA transcriptome findings between transgender women using feminizing hormone therapy, men who have sex with men engaging in receptive anal intercourse, and males who had never engaged in anal intercourse demonstrates differential gene expression involving pathways critical for mucosal inflammation, suggesting the urgent need for further exploration into the immunologic effects of cross-sex hormone therapy in the rectal mucosa and the potential impact on HIV transmission risk at this site.

Six months of gender affirming hormone treatment modifies the methylome in the transgender population

Project description:The main objective was to carry out a prospective global CpG (cytosine-phosphate-guanine) methylation analysis before vs. after six months of gender affirming hormone treatment (GAHT), in a transgender population vs. a cisgender population.

RNA-seq of human Tregs from healthy cisgender and transgender individuals and patients with juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE)

Project description:Sexual dimorphisms, which vary depending on age group and pubertal status, have been described across both the innate and adaptive immune system. We explored the influence of sex hormones on Treg differential gene expression in the context of adolescent health (cisgender and transgender individuals) and autoimmunity (juvenile-onset SLE).

Immunological Genome Project data Phase 2

Project description:Gene-expression microarray datasets generated as part of the Immunological Genome Project (ImmGen) for samples that use a different set of amplification reagents (Ambion WT Expression Kit, not the Affymetrix GeneChip WT cDNA Synthesis and Amplification Kits). This Series record provides access to Immunological Genome Project data submitted to GEO.

Immunological Genome Project data Phase 1

Project description:Gene-expression microarray datasets generated as part of the Immunological Genome Project (ImmGen). Primary cells from multiple immune lineages are isolated ex-vivo, primarily from young adult B6 male mice, and double-sorted to >99% purity. RNA is extracted from cells in a centralized manner, amplified and hybridized to Affymetrix 1.0 ST MuGene arrays. Protocols are rigorously standardized for all sorting and RNA preparation. Data is released monthly in batches of cell populations. This Series record provides access to Immunological Genome Project data submitted to GEO.
