Project description:Illumina HT-12 v4 microarrays were used to measure genome-wide gene expression in peripheral blood from occupational offshore divers, all male and fulfilling the criteria for diving personnel set in the NORSOK U-100 standard for manned underwater operations. Saturation dives lasted 13 - 20 days, with maximal diving depths 100 - 125 mws. Elevated oxygen during deep saturation dives triggers oxidative stress. To test the effects of oral antioxidants on post-dive gene expression, the divers were divided into two groups: one group (13 divers) received daily supplementation of antioxidant vitamins C (500mg/day) and E (200mg/day) during their dives, the other (7 divers) was not.

Project description:Exposure to Persistant Organic Pollutants (POPs) is known to cause serious health effects in human but the gene expression profiles leading to development of differnet diseases and disorders are not fully understood. The knowledge of global gene expression will help us to devlop early disease or disorder biomarkers for POP induced health effects. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression profile underlying the effects of high POP exposure to Slovak 45 month children leading to identification of distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes and cellular processes. High POP Exposed 45 month Slovak Children: Extraction of total RNA was performed by using Qiagen PAXgene Blood RNA Kit IVD according to the manufacturer's instructions. Biotinylated cRNA were prepared according to the standard Affymetrix protocol from 6 microgram of total RNA (Expression Analysis Technical Manual, 2001, Affymetrix). Following fragmentation, 10 microgram of cRNA were hybridized for 16 hr at 45C on GeneChip Human Genome Array (HGU133 plus 2.0). GeneChips were washed and stained in the Affymetrix Fluidics Station 450 and scanned using the Affymetrix GeneArray Scanner 3000. The data were analyzed with Microarray Suite version 5.0 (MAS 5.0) using Affymetrix default analysis settings and global scaling as normalization method. The trimmed mean target intensity of each array was arbitrarily set to 150.

Project description:Readily accessible samples such as peripheral blood or cell lines are increasingly being used in large cohorts to characterise gene expression differences between a patient group and healthy controls. However, cell and RNA isolation procedures and the variety of cell types that make up whole blood can affect gene expression measurements. We therefore systematically investigated global gene expression profiles in peripheral blood from six individuals collected during two visits by comparing five of the following cell and RNA isolation methods: whole blood (PAXgene), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs), CD19 and CD20 specific B-cell subsets. Gene expression measurements were clearly discriminated by isolation method although the reproducibility was high for all methods (range ρ = 0.90-1.00). The PAXgene samples showed a decrease in the number of expressed genes (P<1*10-16) with higher variability (P<1*10-16) compared to the other methods. Differentially expressed probes between PAXgene and PBMCs were correlated with the number of monocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils or erythrocytes. The correlations (ρ =0.83; ρ =0.79) between the expression levels of detected probes were much lower compared to the two B-cell isolation methods (ρ =0.98). Gene ontology analysis of detected genes showed that genes involved in inflammatory responses are enriched in B-cells CD19 and CD20 whereas genes involved in alcohol metabolic process and the cell cycle were enriched in LCLs. Gene expression profiles in blood-based samples are strongly dependent on the predominant constituent cell type(s) and RNA isolation method. It is crucial to understand the differences and variability of gene expression measurements between cell and RNA isolation procedures, and their relevance to disease processes before application in large clinical studies. In the present study, we investigated variability and consistency in gene expression profiles between five of the most common post venipuncture methods of cell and RNA isolation: whole blood (PAXgene (PAX)), PBMCs, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformed LCLs, CD19-specific B-cells subsets (B-cell CD19), CD20-specific B-cells subsets (B-cell CD20). Using samples from six individuals collected during two visits, we evaluated the differences and concordances of global gene expression profiles, the biological and technical variability seen in these approaches, cell-type specific gene expression signatures and their relevance to large-scale biobanking initiatives.

Project description:Exposure to polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) is known to cause serious health effects in human but the gene expression profiles leading to development of different diseases and disorders are not fully understood. The knowledge of global gene expression will help us to develop early disease or disorder biomarkers for PCB-induced health effects. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression profile underlying the effects of high PCB exposure to Slovak 45-month-old children leading to identification of distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes and cellular processes. Extraction of total RNA was performed by using Qiagen PAXgene Blood RNA Kit IVD according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Project description:Decompression sickness (DCS) is a potentially fatal condition usually observed after scuba diving. It involves bubble formation in blood and tissues from dissolved inert gas (usually nitrogen or helium), secondary to decreases in ambient pressure (decompression).To the best of our knowledge, no study has evaluated a DCS-induced transcriptomic signature in humans. In this study, we aim to explore the evolution of leukocyte gene expression in human subjects with DCS compared to closely matched divers after uneventful diving using a hypothesis-free RNA sequencing approach .Recruitment of DCS cases (n = 7) and controls (n = 6) was carried out using specific criteria. For both DCS cases and controls, whole blood was sampled at two time points, T1 - within 8 hours of surfacing from diving and T2 - at 40-44 hours after surfacing. Prior to sampling at T2, subjects were fasted for 10 hours. Specific exclusion criteria included a) age < 18 years b) self-reported consumption of alcohol and/or strenuous physical activity before T2 c) symptoms suggestive of delayed DCS presentation in controls at T2 d) acute life-threatening clinical complications or death within 72 hours of surfacing. All cases received emergency HBO as per United States Navy Treatment Table Six between T1 and T2.For RNA isolation, 2.5mL of whole blood was collected in a PAXgene® Blood RNA Tube (PreAnalytiX, Qiagen/BD) from DCS cases and controls at both T1 and T2. The quality of RNA was evaluated by RNA Integrity Number (RIN) determination using the RNA6000 Nano protocol on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer system (Agilent, USA). The RIN values for samples undergoing transcriptome analysis ranged from 7.8 to 9.3. Depletion of alpha and beta globin mRNA was carried out using the GLOBINclear™ kit (ThermoFisher Scientific). To minimize batch effects, all samples were processed simultaneously by the same investigator. RNA samples were submitted for library generation and sequencing by the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI-Shenzhen). Briefly, poly(A) mRNA was enriched using poly(T) oligo-attached magnetic beads, followed by fragmentation. First strand cDNA synthesis was carried out using random hexamer N6 primers and reverse transcriptase. Following adaptor ligation to cDNA fragments, PCR amplification and purification, single stranded DNA circles were generated in a final library. DNA nanoballs (DNBs) were subsequently generated by rolling circle replication, which underwent paired end sequencing (100bp) on the BGI DNBseq platform.

Project description:We study the global gene expression profiles of BKV viremia and nephropathy patients using microarrays in order to better understand the immunologic response to polyomavirus BK (BKV). BKV has become increasingly prevalent since the introduction of more potent immunosuppressive agents. It has been shown that as many as 30% of renal transplant recipients develop asymptomatic viral shedding in the urine shortly after transplant, 10-20% have viremia, and as many as 1-10% can go on to develop overt nephropathy (BKVN) that might lead to graft loss. To date, the genomics of BKV viremia and BKVN have not been investigated thoroughly by microarray. Patients who were enrolled in the IRB-approved Immune Monitoring Study had blood PAXGene samples taken at post-transplant visits and had clinically indicated biopsy samples were used for analysis. A total of 17 biopsy samples were used for gene expression profiling microarrays, three with histopathologic diagnosis of BKVN, 3 patients with evidence of BK viral replication in peripheral blood, but normal biopsy and 11 patients with normal biopsies or mild IFTA, and stable graft function. Blood PAXGene samples from 40 patients were used for gene expression profiling by microarrays, 14 patients with stable graft function and without BK viremia, 19 patients' blood samples at the time of BKV viremia, and 7 patients blood samples taken 1-2 months prior to development of BK viremia.

Project description:Analysis of long-term freezing on the stability of transcriptome profiles in PAXgene stabilized whole blood samples. In the present study it was tested if long-term freezing of PAXgene RNA tubes (up to one year) has an influence on the transcriptome profile of peripheral whole blood samples. Results indicated that gene expression profiles of whole blood samples stabilized with PAXgene RNA tubes remain stable for at least 1 year. Total RNA was obtained from peripheral whole blood samples collected in PAXgene RNA tubes of healthy human subjects. RNA was either isolated after 24h storage at room temperature or after freezing of PAXgene RNA tubes for up to 1 year (6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months).

Project description:Background: We aimed to investigate the effects of intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) and rituximab desensitization treatment on kidney transplant rate and blood gene expression profiles by microrarrays. Methods: We enrolled patients with PRA levels >50% and on the deceased-donor waiting list for >5 years. Patients received IVIG (2.0 g/kg) on day 0 and 30; and rituximab (375 mg/m2) on day 15. The antibodies with mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) values > 5,000 were reported to UNET as unacceptable antigens. The gene expression profiles of blood samples collected in PAXGene tube were studied by Affymetrix HuGene 1.0 ST expression arrays. Results: 40 of the 415 patients (10%) on the waiting list were eligible for desensitization treatment and 11 completed the treatment. While 15 of the remaining 29 patients (52%) received a transplant without therapy, only 2 of the 11 desensitized patients (18%) received transplant during a median follow-up of 217 days. While there were no statistically significant difference in demographics, desensitized patients had higher cPRA values (97% vs. 77%, p=0.0005) and more number of unacceptable antigens (39 vs. 10, p=0.0001). There was no significant change in the mean number of unacceptable antigens (39 ± 22 versus 39 ± 23) or reduction in the mean MFI values (11,333 ± 3,133 vs 11,289 ± 3,386). Analysis of genes chosen as significantly differentially expressed revealed downregulation of genes involved in B cells and immune system (CD79a, B and T lymphocyte associated transcript, B cell scaffold protein, CD22, CXCR5, fas apoptotic inhibitory protein). Gene set enrichment analysis using Pathogenesis Based Transcripts created by Edmonton Group demonstrated significant downregulation of B cell associated (p=0.04) and immunoglobulin transcripts (p=0.03). Conclusion: Although, desensitization with IVIG and rituximab decreases the expression of B cell and immunoglobulin associated transcripts, it was not successful in increasing kidney transplant rate or in decreasing the number of unacceptable antigens. Total of 28 arrays included in this study, which corresponding to 9 individuals with paired pre/post treatment samples and an additional 10 untreated control individuals. pair_analysis_normData.txt for paired analysis of pre/post treatment; ordinary_analysis_normData.txt for non-paired analysis include all samples, except for 38 Pax V0 and 56 Pax V1, which shows technicial bias and lowest array quality, hence removed from analysis.
