Genome-wide screening of mRNA expression in leprosy patients

ABSTRACT: In this study, a comprehensive assessment of human mRNA was performed on leprosy skin lesions using DNA chip microarrays, which included the entire spectrum of the disease along with its reactional states. Sixty-six samples from leprotic lesions (10TT, 10BT, 10BB, 10BL, 4LL, 14R1, and 10R2) and nine skin biopsies from healthy individuals were used as controls (CC) (ages ranged from 06 to 83 years, 48 were male and 29 female). The evaluation identified differentially expressed mRNAs [Fold Change (FC)â¥2.0, p<0.05] in disease lesions versus healthy controls or between them. Some of these genes were validated by RT-PCR and/or immunohistochemistry. The sequence of events for this study followed the order below. Patients who were treated for leprosy were examined by leprologists and submitted to two biopsy procedures. One biopsy was processed for histopathological analysis, bacilloscopy and immunohistochemistry (IHC), the other was immediately stored in RNAlaterÂ® solution (Ambion) for further RNA extraction. Sixty-eight samples from leprotic lesions (10TT, 10BT, 10BB, 10BL, 4LL, 14R1, and 10R2) were selected for analysis. In addition, nine skin biopsies from healthy individuals were usedas controls (CC). Differentially expressed genes identified in the cDNA microarray assay were validated by quantitative RT-PCR and IHC.

Differential Expression of MicroRNAs in Leprosy Skin Lesions

Project description:In this study, a comprehensive assessment of human miRNA was performed on leprosy skin lesions using DNA chip microarrays, which included the entire spectrum of the disease along with its reactional states. Sixty-eight samples from leprotic lesions (10TT, 10BT, 10BB, 10BL, 4LL, 14R1, and 10R2) and nine skin biopsies from healthy individuals were used as controls (CC) (ages ranged from 06 to 83 years, 48 were male and 29 female).

miRNA expression profile in leprosy skin biopsy specimens

Project description:Skin biopsy specimens of skin lesions were profiled for miRNA expression. In this study, we indentified miRNA species that were differentially expressed in the skin lesions of either the lepromatous or tuberculoid forms of leprosy. One miRNA species, hsa-mir-21, found in the lepromatous lesions was capable of downregulating the vitamin D-dependent antimicrobial pathway. Scalpel or punch skin biopsy specimens were obtained after informed consent from patients with tuberculoid leprosy and patients with lepromatous leprosy at the time of diagnosis. Specimens were embedded in OCT medium, snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at 80°C until sectioning.

Genome-wide expression profiling of leprosy and granuloma annulare skin lesions

Project description:Here we report the data generated by short-read sequencing of mRNA (polyA) isolated from granuloma annulare and leprosy skin lesions. Our main aim was to identify putative mRNA biomarkers for distinguishing leprosy from other differential diagnoses. Additionally, we also explored the distinction between MB and PB by using differential expression analysis as well as training a penalized logistic regression to select important features. Our results showed that few genes are enough to differentiate leprosy lesions, including paucibacillary cases, from other morphological and histopathological similar skin diseases. Some of these genes have been replicated in a larger and more heterogeneous sample with RT-qPCR, validating their classification potential. We also suggest important novel gene candidates to improve our understanding of molecular differences between MB and PB lesions, which could either pinpoint new pathways and targets for host-based specialized adjuvant treatment for leprosy. Finally, this dataset has been used to explore the relationship between cornification and keratinocyte-related genes and TGFB-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which could indicate that in skin, M. leprae could be de-differentiating, directly or indirectly, other cell types into a progenitor/stem-like phenotype, facilitating mycobacterial survival and migration within the host. Alternatively, this could highlight which pathways are activated during granuloma formation and/or skin barrier assembly/disassembly.

Integrated pathways for neutrophil recruitment and inflammation in leprosy

Project description:Neutrophil recruitment is pivotal to host defense against microbial infection, but also contributes to the immunopathology of disease. We investigated the mechanism of neutrophil recruitment in human infectious disease by bioinformatic pathways analysis of the gene expression profiles in the skin lesions of leprosy. In erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), which occurs in patients with lepromatous leprosy (L-lep), and is characterized by neutrophil infiltration in lesions, the most overrepresented biologic functional group was “cell movement” including E-selectin, which was coordinately regulated with IL-1. In vitro activation of TLR2, upregulated in ENL lesions, triggered induction of IL-1, which together with IFN-, induced E-selectin expression on, and neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells. Thalidomide, an effective treatment for ENL, inhibited this neutrophil recruitment pathway. The gene expression profile of ENL lesions comprised an integrated pathway of TLR2/FcR activation, neutrophil migration and inflammation, providing insight into mechanisms of neutrophil recruitment in human infectious disease. 6 ENL skin lesions and 7 Lepromatous leprosy skin lesions

Development of gene expression signatures in whole spectrum of leprosy

Project description:To further development of our gene expression approach in different groups of leprosy, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to distinguish leprosy reactions and relapse cases from healthy controls. Human biopsy and skin slit were collected from reaction cases, PB cases, MB cases, relapse cases and healthy contacts. Total 1891,1384, 1134, 475 and 762 no of genes were overexpressed in PB, T1R, T2R, LL and relapse cases respectively. Expression of seven genes (glcB, infB, ftsH, ppgk,relA, rpsR and atpB) from relapse cases was quantified in the same RNA samples by real-time PCR confirming role of theses genes in relapse cases.

SPECIFIC BIOMARKERS ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC RENAL LESIONS IN IGA NEPHROPATHY PATIENTS. A MULTICENTER STUDY

Project description:The histologic diagnosis of idiopathic IgA Nephopathy (IgAN) is based o renal lesions scores. Aim of our study was to identify specific gene expression changes that characterize active renal lesions that may be more responsive to immunosuppressive therapy than chronic lesions. Total RNA was extracted from archival FFPE renal tissue samples of 55 IgAN patients, 31 non-IgAN patients. IgAN patients were accurately stratified based on the LUMPED classifications. Genome-wide gene expression profiles were generated and Oneway ANOVA with tukeyHSD post hoc testing was used to identify specific transcripts associated with active and chronic renal lesions in IgAN. RT-PCR was used to validate selected transcripts. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to evaluate specific protein expression in biopsy specimens. Bioinfomatic analysis identified 183 genes with a Fold Change > 1.5 exclusively modulated in IgAN biopsies with active lesions and 162 genes with Fold Change > 1.5 exclusively modulated in IgAN biopsies with chronic lesions. These genes belonged to renal cellular damage and immune system regulatory pathways. To establish the validity of gene expression determined by microarray analysis, we performed RT-PCR on genes that were putatively involved in generating active and chronic lesions that may be involved in activating local inflammatory response and contributing to renal damage. Validated transcripts were also confirmed at protein level with IHC on kidney biopsy specimens. Transcriptomics on FFPE renal biopsies integrates histomorphologic renal lesions. Our study identifies specific gene expression changes involved in active and chronic lesions at the time of renal biopsy. This novel information may be used for personalized therapy through a system pharmacology approach to identify targeted molecules able to revert aberrant expression networks characterizing active and chronic lesions.

Transcriptome of human monocyte-derived macrophages infected with live-Mycobacterium leprae

Project description:To this date, host transcriptome studies in leprosy have focused on Schwann cells, as well as mouse-footpad and skin biopsies. Despite macrophages being the most infected cell types in leprosy lesions, there is no genome-wide experiments with this model. Here, we aimed at identifying host macrophages transcriptional changes induced by live-Mycobacterium leprae infection for 48 hours.
