Refining brucellosis diagnosis by blood transcriptional profiling

ABSTRACT: Diagnosis of brucellosis remains challenging for several reasons, including lack of culture sensitivity, nonspecific symptomatology, and high prevalence of positive serology in endemic areas. The main objectives of this study were to identify blood biomarkers specific to brucellosis compared to other endemic infections and to monitor changes in blood biomarkers during treatment. To obtain a global profile of the disease, we employed RNA sequencing (RNAseq) of whole blood RNA to measure host response against brucellosis infection in patients from Macedonia and Spain. Long-term follow up of patients was used to classify patients as having acute or chronic/reinfection brucellosis and as treatment responders and non-responders. We observed distinct gene expression differences between samples from acute brucellosis and control donors. The magnitude of gene expression changes was associated with antibody titers determined by standard serological tests for brucellosis, including the rose Bengal and standard agglutination tests. The expression signature characteristic of acute brucellosis was also different from that of subjects with leishmaniasis. In depth integration of clinical data and serological findings with our gene expression data will be performed to provide insight into cellular and molecular mechanisms of brucellosis infection. Whole blood from 169 subjects including 105 patients with suspected brucellosis, 17 patients with leishmaniasis, and 47 healthy controls.

Dysregulated TLR7 signaling drives anemia via development of hemophagocytic macrophages

Project description:The debilitating autoimmune disease Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is closely associated with Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 and type I interferon (IFN) activity in humans and in murine SLE-like disease. Two central manifestations of SLE affect the myeloid lineage of the immune system, myeloid expansion and anemia. Yet, whether these symptoms are linked and the role of TLR7 and/or type I IFN in these processes is unclear. Here we show that TLR7 signaling promotes cell-autonomous, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)- and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-dependent macrophage development from the common myeloid progenitor (CMP). Strikingly, this TLR7-driven macrophage development requires and is enhanced by type I IFN. Genome-wide transcriptional profiling and functional studies demonstrated that TLR7 promoted the expression of Spic, the master regulator of splenic red pulp macrophages (RPM) and preferential development of hemophagocytic RPM-like cells from CMP in vitro. We found increased incidence of RPM-like cells in vivo in a mouse model of SLE caused by TLR7 overexpression, which correlated with decreased red blood cell (RBC) count and anemia. These findings demonstrate a mechanism by which TLR7 signaling promotes anemia that is of clinical significance in SLE, other rheumatological diseases and chronic viral infections. This work also identifies a previously unknown molecular pathway by which TLR signaling and type I IFN synergize to promote myeloid development from hematopoietic progenitors. CMP were sorted from the bone marrow of wild-type C57BL/6 mice, cultured with SCF+R848 or SCFr+MCSF, and CD11b+F4/80+ macrophages sorted after 5 days, n=3 per group

Elucidating the etiology and molecular pathogenicity of infectious diarrhea by high throughput RNA sequencing

Project description:Diarrhea remains a major cause of death in children. Current diagnostic methods largely rely on stool culture and suffer from low sensitivity and inadequate specificity, often leading to inappropriate treatment. The objective of the present study was to use RNA sequencing (RNAseq) analysis to determine blood transcriptional profiles specific for several common pathogenic bacteria and viruses that cause diarrhea in children. We collected whole blood samples from children in Mexico having diarrhea associated with a single pathogen and without systemic complications. Our RNAseq data suggested that the blood signatures can differentiate children with diarrhea from healthy children either with or without bacterial colonization. Moreover, we detected different expression profiles from bacterial and viral infection, demonstrating for the first time the use of RNAseq to identify the etiology of infectious diarrhea. Whole blood from 207 children including children with diarrhea caused by rotavirus (n=55), E.coli (n=55), Salmonella (n=36), Shigella (n=37) and control children (n=24).

Reduction of PRC2 activity supports survival of TNBC cancer cells to cytotoxic treatments

Project description:Basal-like breast cancer generally shows a good response to conventional cytotoxic but rapidly develops a resistant phenotype. To better understand the epigenetic changes underlying the acquisition of resistant properties, we treated the murine basal-like mammary carcinoma cell line G-2 for 48 hours with sublethal combination chemotherapy (Cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, 5-Fluorouracil) and subsequently subjected them to RNA- and ChIP-sequencing.

Axon Guidance Receptor ROBO3 Modulates Subtype Identity and Prognosis via AXL-associated Inflammatory Network in Pancreatic Cancer

Project description:Recently, genome-wide molecular analyses have identified an altered axon guidance SLIT-ROBO signaling pathway in Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). To examine whether ROBO3 signaling is involved in the transcriptional determination of basal-like PDAC-subtype specification and functions, we performed RNA-seq analysis following ROBO3 silencing in the basal-like cell line PANC1.

ROBO3s: a novel ROBO3 shot isoform promoting breast cancer aggressiveness

Project description:We treated the murine WAP-T cell line H8N8 with either vehicle or a sublethal dose CAF chemotherapy (Cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, 5-Fluorouracil) for 48 hours. The surviving cells were then subjected to mRNA-sequencing.

ROBO3s: a novel ROBO3 shot isoform promoting breast cancer aggressiveness

Project description:We identified a novel uncharacterized short isoform of the Roundabout Guidance Receptor 3 (ROBO3) encoding for the C-terminal domain of the protein and lacking transmembrane region. We established an important role for the so-called ROBO3s isoform, mediating cancer stem cell properties by stimulating the Hippo-YAP signaling pathway, and thus driving the resistance of Basal-like breast cancer cells to cytotoxic drugs.

Drug-resistant breast cancer stem cells enriched through one-dose chemo-therapy convey drug tolerance.

Project description:The murine basal-like mammary carcinoma cell line H8N8 was transplanted into syngeneic WAP-T mice and growing tumors were subjected to a single dose of combination chemotherapy (100 mg/kg body weight cyclophosphamide, 5 mg/kg BW doxorubicin and 100 mg/kg BW 5-FU, short CAF). Mice of the control group were treated with one injection vehicle solution. Three cohorts of animals were generated: control, remission, and regrowth group. Tumor cells were isolated from lesions of each group, purified by flow cytometry to remove non-tumor cells and debris, and finally subjected to whole transcriptome analysis by mRNA-sequencing.

Gene expression analysis of CD4+ and CD4- ILC1 subsets by RNAseq

Project description:Innate lymphoid cell (ILC) subsets that mirror helper T cells in their effector cytokine profiles have recently emerged as central players in both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. Like their Th1, Th2 and Th17/Th22 helper T cell counterparts, ILC subsets are categorized based on their expression of specific transcription factors and effector cytokines: group 1 ILC (ILC1) express T-bet and IFN-Î³; group 2 ILC (ILC2) express GATA-3 and type 2 effector cytokines such as IL-13 and IL-5; and group 3 ILC (ILC3) express RORgt and the cytokines IL-22 and/or IL-17. Under this nomenclature, natural killer (NK) cells and lymphoid tissue inducers (LTi) are considered ILC1 and ILC3, respectively. ILC1 contain both CD4+ and CD4- populations, but whether this phenotypic characteristic reflects functional differences between these two populations is unknown. These studies examine the gene expression profiles of CD4+ vs CD4- ILC1 in a cohort of healthy control subjects. ILC subsets were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy control subjects. cDNA was isolated and amplified from sorted populations, and gene expression was analyzed by RNAseq
