Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Gene Expression Profiles May Predict Poor Outcome in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis [Agilent]

ABSTRACT: Background: In this study we aimed to identify peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) gene expression profiles predictive of poor outcomes in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) Methods: Microarray analyses of PBMC were performed in 120 patients from discovery (n=45) and replication cohorts (n=75). Genes and pathways associated with transplant-free survival (TFS) were identified and confirmed by qRT-PCR. Findings: 52 genes were predictive of TFS in a discovery cohort (FDR<5%, Cox score above 2.5 or below -2.5). Clustering the replication cohort samples using these genes distinguished two patient groups with significantly different TFS (hazard ratio 1.96, 95%CI 1.01-3.8, P=0.018). Decreased expression of M-bM-^@M-^\The co-stimulatory signaling during T cell activationM-bM-^@M-^] Biocarta pathway and in particular CD28, ICOS, LCK and ITK was associated with shorter TFS times in each cohort (FDR<5%). qRT-PCR expression of CD28, ICOS, LCK and ITK correlated with the microarray results in the discovery cohort (P<0.05) and their decreased expression was predictive of shorter TFS in the replication cohort (P<0.05). A genomic and clinical model demonstrated an area under the ROC curve of 78.5% at 2.4 months for death and lung transplant prediction. Interpretation: Our results suggest that CD28, ICOS, LCK and ITK are outcome biomarkers in IPF. PBMC from 75 patients with the diagnosis of IPF were obtained within 30 minutes from blood draw. Total RNA was extracted, labeled and hybridized to Agilent Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray, 4 x 44K. Patients were followed from blood draw until death, transplant or last follow up. Hierarchical clustering and gene-set analysis with censored outcome data were used to study the association of gene expression and outcome in this cohort (replication cohort)

We aimed to identify peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) gene expression profiles predictive of poor outcomes in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) by performing microarray experiments of PBMCs in discovery and replication cohorts of IPF patients. Microarray analyses identified 52 genes associated with transplant-free survival (TFS) in the discovery cohort. Clustering the microarray samples of the replication cohort using the 52-gene outcome-predictive signature distinguished two patient g ...[more]

Project description:The Tec-family kinase Itk plays an important role during T-cell activation and function, and controls also conventional versus innate-like T-cell development. We have characterized the transcriptome of Itk-deficient CD3+ T-cells, including CD4+ and CD8+ subsets, using Affymetrix microarrays. The largest difference between Itk-/- and Wt CD3+ T-cells was found in unstimulated cells, e.g. for killer cell lectin-like receptors. Compared to anti-CD3-stimulation, anti-CD3/CD28 significantly decreased the number of transcripts suggesting that the CD28 co-stimulatory pathway is mainly independent of Itk. The signatures of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subsets identified a greater differential expression than in total CD3+ cells. Cyclosporin (CsA)-treatment had a stronger effect on transcriptional regulation than Itk-deficiency, suggesting that only a fraction of TCR-mediated calcineurin/NFAT-activation is dependent on Itk. Bioinformatic analysis of NFAT-sites of the group of transcripts similarly regulated by Itk-deficiency and CsA-treatment, followed by chromatin-immunoprecipitation, revealed NFATc1-binding to the Bub1, IL7R, Ctla2a, Ctla2b, and Schlafen1 genes. Finally, to identify transcripts that are regulated by Tec-family kinases in general, we compared the expression profile of Itk-deficient T-cells with that of Btk-deficient B-cells and a common set of transcripts was found. Taken together, our study provides a general overview about the global transcriptional changes in the absence of Itk. Experiment Overall Design: CD3+ CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells from pooled suspensions of spleen and lymph nodes of Wt and Itk knockout mice on C57BL/6 background were isolated after negative depletion. Unstimulated as well as stimulated T-cells were studied. Stimulations were done with anti-CD3 (1 mg/ml) for 24 hrs. For the CD4+ T-cells we collected triplicates from the Itk knockout mice and duplicates from the Wt group. For the CD8+ T-cells, we got duplicates from Itk knockout , while we obtained a single sample from Wt owing to the low cell yield for resting Wt CD8+ T-cells. After CD3-stimulation we got a single sample from the CD8+ subset of both Wt and Itk knockout, while for the CD4+ subsets we collected duplicates.
