Project description:The project was designed to identify genes with an altered expression in macrophages from subjects with atherosclerosis compared to macrophages from control subjects. Experiment Overall Design: We used monocyte-derived macrophages from peripheral blood cultured in the absence or presence of oxidized LDL, baseline macrophages or foam cells. The macrophages were obtained from 15 subjects with subclinical atherosclerosis and a family history of CHD. Macrophages from 15 age and sexmatched subjects with no atherosclerosis and no family history of CHD were used as control.

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease with complex pathological features and largely unknown etiologies. Identification and validation of biomarkers for this disease could facilitate earlier diagnosis, appreciation of disease subtypes and/or determination of response to therapeutic intervention. To identify gene expression markers for COPD, we performed genome-wide expression profiling of lung tissue from 56 subjects using the Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 array. Lung function measurements from these subjects ranged from normal, un-obstructed to severely obstructed. Analysis of differential expression between cases (FEV1<70%, FEV1/FVC<0.7) and controls (FEV1>80%, FEV1/FVC>0.7) identified a set of 65 probe sets representing discrete markers associated with COPD. Correlation of gene expression with quantitative measures of airflow obstruction (FEV1 or FEV1/FVC) identified a set of 220 probe sets. A total of 31 probe sets were identified that showed evidence of significant correlation with quantitative traits and differential expression between cases and controls. Experiment Overall Design: We assessed genome-wide expression patterns in lung tissue specimens derived from 56 subjects. These subjects were undergoing lobectomy for removal of a suspected tumor, and tissue for our studies was derived from histologically normal tissue distant from the tumor margin. Subjects underwent routine spirometry prior to surgery. Low values for both FEV1 and FEV1/FVC are characteristic features of COPD and associated with the severity of disease. For our studies, Cases (n=15) were defined as subjects with FEV1<70% and FEV1/FVC<0.7 and Controls (n=18) as subjects with FEV1>80% and FEV1/FVC>0.7. A majority of the subjects were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma (n=26) or squamous cell carcinoma (n=19), while other tumor types or benign lesions were found in the remaining subjects (n=11).

Project description:This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of changes in gene expression during rhinovirus infections in vivo. Subjects were experimentally infected with HRV-16 rhinovirus (RV16) or sham infected (control). Nasal epithelial scrapings collected and processed for microarray analysis. Only subjects exhibiting rhinovirus infection were analyzed. Experiment Overall Design: Randomized, parallel group study. A total of 31 subjects was analyzed: 15 infected and 16 controls. Nasal scapings were taken 14 days prior to infection (d14) and 8 hours (d0) and 2 days (d2) after infection. For each collection, alternating nostrils were used (e.g. -14d = left, 8hr = right, 2d=left) and subjects were randomized for collection (e.g. LRL, RLR).

Project description:The study has been described in the following paper: Gianni Parise, Stuart M. Phillips, Jan J. Kaczor and Mark A. Tarnopolsky (2005). Antioxidant enzyme activity is up-regulated after unilateral resistance exercise training in older adults. Free Radical Biology and Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 2, 15 July 2005, Pages 289-295 We cite the following three paragraphs from this paper: "MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects Twelve men (71.2 ± 6.5 y) volunteered to participate in a 12 week uni-lateral leg resistance training program (Table 1). All subjects underwent a thorough screening process before being admitted into the study. Subjects were first screened by telephone, and were then subject to a medical evaluation. Consent from their family physician was required, and then all potential subjects underwent a resting electrocardiogram, and a sub-maximal graded exercise test on a bicycle ergometer witih a 12-lead ECG. Exclusion criteria included: evidence of coronary hear disease; congestive heart failure; uncontrolled hypertension; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; diabetes mellitus; renal failure; major orthopaedic disability; and smoking. None of the subjects had ever participated in a structured exercise program. After subjects were advised of the benefits and risks of participation, subjects gave their written informed consent. The study was approved by the McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences Research Ethics Board and conferred to the principles of the declaration of Helsinki. Exercise Training Resistance training was performed three times weekly on non-consecutive days (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for 12 weeks, under strict supervision. Prior to and after each training session subjects were required to perform passive stretching. Resistance exercise for each session consisted of 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each of leg press and leg extension. Training progressed from one set of each exercise at 50% of the initial 1 repetition maximum (1RM) to 3 sets at 80% of 1RM over the training period. Training logs were kept to record the volume and intensity of each session. The 1RM was re-evaluated every 2 weeks, and the training load was adjusted accordingly. All exercises were performed on universal strength training equipment (Universal Gym Equipment, Inc., Cedar Rapids, Iowa). Muscle Biopsy A muscle biopsy was taken from the vastus lateralis muscle of both legs before as well as after the training period, 20 cm proximal to the knee joint using a modified Bergström needle (5 mm diameter) with suction modification. The biopsy specimen was dissected of fat and connective tissue and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. All samples were stored at -80 °C for subsequent analysis. All subjects were required to abstain from strenuous physical activity for 48 hours prior to the testing session. The non-trained leg performed an acute bout of exercise at the same relative intensity of the training leg to allow for the determination of the effect of training and the effect of acute resistance exercise." Additional Notes: 1) The samples of 8 out 12 were used in the gene expression study. 2) The 2 factors in this study are: 2.1) Leg - Left or Right 2.2) Training - Baseline: samples taken on each leg before exercise - Resistance Training: one of the legs was subject to resistance training followed by acute exercise - Acute Exercise: the other leg had only the acute exercise 3) The baseline samples will be used for right versus left leg comparison to see variance between legs for human experimentation technical issues. The samples from Resistance or Acute Exercise will be compared to corresponding baseline samples to evaluate the effect of both exercise programs on gene expression.

Project description:CD3-positive T cells were negatively isolated from 10 SLE patients and 9 healthy controls without SLE. All of the SLE samples and control samples were compared with one another to identify baseline differences in expression due to the disease. Next, T cell preparations from 4 of the control subjects were stimulated with either Nitric Oxide (NOC-18) 600 uM for 24hr or stimulated through CD3/CD28 for 24hr to determine which genes were responsive to these signaling mechanisms. Here, we show that activity of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which is a sensor of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential, is increased in SLE T cells. Activation of mTOR was inducible by NO, a key trigger of MHP which in turn enhanced the expression of HRES-1/Rab4, a small GTPase that regulates recycling of surface receptors through early endosomes. Expression of HRES-1/Rab4 was increased in SLE T cells and, in accordance with its dominant impact on the endocytic recycling of CD4, it was inversely correlated with diminished CD4 expression. HRES-1/Rab4 over-expression was also inversely correlated with diminished TCRζ protein levels. Combined with follow up studies, these results suggest that activation of mTOR causes the loss of TCRζ in lupus T cells through HRES-1/Rab4-dependent lysosomal degradation. Experiment Overall Design: 10 replicate T cell samples from SLE (Lupus) patients Experiment Overall Design: 9 replicate T cell samples from healthy control (BC) subjects Experiment Overall Design: 4 replicate Nitric Oxide (NOC-18) stimulated T cell samples from 4 of the control subjects Experiment Overall Design: 4 replicate CD3/CD28 stimulated T cell samples from 4 of the control subjects

Project description:Hyper IgE Recurrent Infection Syndrome (HIES or Jobâs syndrome), is a rare disorder of immunity and connective tissue, typically manifest with boils, cyst-forming pneumonias, and extremely elevated serum IgE as well as retained primary dentition and bone abnormalities. Inheritance can be autosomal dominant. In order to identify a specific defect or gene of interest, we performed microarray expression analysis on samples from patients with Job's syndrome and from healthy control subjects. Experiment Overall Design: Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from whole blood from patients with Job's syndrome and healthy control subjects. PMNs and PBMCs were incubated with or without IgG- and C3bi-coated latex beads for 3 and 6 hours.

Project description:The gene expression profile of blood drawn from healthy individuals was studied over a period of six months, at five time points. The gene expression profiles appeared to be constant over one month and to slightly vary over three months. A small proportion of genes were found to be differentially regulated according to gender. Differential gene regulation by age (in subjects 25â??55 years of age versus subjects > 55 years of age) was not observed. Experiment Overall Design: Healthy subjects were enrolled at a single site, their health status was determined by medical history, physical examination, and standard laboratory test values. Venous blood was drawn in the morning, from fasted subjects at five time points (Day1, Day14, Day28, Day 90 and Day 180). Blood was collected into PAXgene tubes (Becton-Dickinson Diagnostics; Hombrechtikon, Switzerland).

Project description:For these data, we analyzed hippocampal gene expression of nine control and 22 AD subjects of varying severity on 31 separate microarrays. We then tested the correlation of each gene's expression with MiniMental Status Examination (MMSE) and neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) scores across all 31 subjects regardless of diagnosis. These tests revealed a major transcriptional response comprising thousands of genes significantly correlated with AD markers. Several hundred of these genes were also correlated with AD markers across only control and incipient AD subjects (MMSE > 20).
