Candidate Gene Case Control Study of Human African Trypanosomiasis in the Democratic Republic of Congo

ABSTRACT: Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a protozoal disease transmitted by bites of tsetse flies. Infection with trypanosomes can lead directly to active HAT or latent infection with no detectable parasites, which may progress to active HAT or to spontaneous self-cure. Genetic variation could explain these differences in the outcome of infection. To test this hypothesis, 96 polymorphisms in 17 candidate genes were tested for association with phenotype in a case control design. The genes tested were: APOL1, CFH, HLA-A, HPR, HP, IL1B, IL12B, IL12RB1, IL10, IL4R, MIF ,TNFA, IL6, IL4, IL8, IFNG, and HLA-G.

Splenic immune response to Plasmodium infection initiated by two different routes

Project description:Plasmodium chabaudi parasite obtained from recently mosquito transmitted infections give rise to an attenuated blood-stage infection when compared to serially blood passaged parasites. We compared the immune response in the spleens induced by these two types of parasites in order to determine what may cause this attenuation. Spleens were taken at several timepoints during the blood-stage infection and RNA-seq analysis was performed.

Simultaneous host parasite RNA sequencing of mosquito transmistted rodent malaria in two host backgrounds

Project description:The aim of this study is to explore the role of differences in host genetic background which will supplement our current analysis of a timecourse of P.chabaudi infection in C57BL/6 mice over the peak of parasitemia. We have also published a paper showing that infections using mosquito-transmitted parasites have a quite different effect on the host immune system (Spence et al, Nature, 2013) and using this study we can compare the effects in host and parasite of serially blood passaged parasites versus mosquito transmitted parasites. This is in collaboration with Jean Langhorne at NIMR.This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/

RNA-seq of mosquito transmitted and blood transmitted Plasmodium chabaudi

Project description:This study is a collaboration with Phil Spence and Jean Langhorne at NIMR, Mill Hill where Phil is studying the differences in aetiology of rodent malaria when mice are infected by mosquito bite versus intraperitoneal injection of blood stage parasites. The aim is to determining transcriptomic differences using RNA-Seq between parasites transmitted by mosquito and those transmitted by injection. This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/Protocol: Mice were bled out at 6 days post-infection, and RNA was extracted from purified parasite populations using Trizol reagent and DNase treated. Poly A+ mRNA was purified from total RNA using oligo dT dyna bead selection and libraries were created using a modified RNA-seq protocol, where RNA was fragmented using Covaris AFA sonication instead of metal ions. The samples were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Gene expression profile of HGPS skin fibroblasts upon treatment with JH4

Project description:To gain further insight into the biological effects of JH4, we investigated its impact on gene expression profiles. We defined a set of genes such as IL33, BRCA1, BLM, Rad51, IL6, IL8, and TNFSF18 whose expression is restored by JH4 treatment

Fibroblasts potentiate melanoma cells in vitro invasivity induced by UV-irradiated keratinocytes - transcription profiling

Project description:Melanoma represents a malignant disease with steadily increasing incidence. Despite a remarkable enrichment of therapeutic repertoire achieved in the last decade, primarily limited sensitivity to therapy or acquired resistance are common. These phenomena limit survival of patients in advanced stages of the disease. UV-irradiation is a very important factor in melanoma initiation. In this study, we tested the influence of normal dermal fibroblasts as well as cancer-associated fibroblasts isolated from melanoma on UV-irradiated keratinocytes as an inductor of melanoma cell migration in 3-D collagen gels. The introduction of normal dermal fibroblasts and mainly cancer-associated fibroblasts to such system further significantly stimulated melanoma cells invasivity. A panel of candidate gene products responsible for facilitation of melanoma cells invasion was defined with emphasis on IL6, IL8 and CXCL1.

Ctenopharyngodon idella, CIK cells, pull-down MS

Project description:IL6-STAT3 is a canonical pro-inflammatory pathway that is highly related to temperature fluctuation and viral infection. Our understanding concerning how the crosstalk between IL6-STAT3 signaling axis and environmental temperature determines viral infection remains rudimentary. Employing an aquatic reovirus infection in ectotherms as a model system, we delineated a pivotal role of IL6-STAT3-HSP90 signaling axis in temperature dependent pathogenesis through interacting with viral capsid proteins to promote viral entry.

Vector-borne Trypanosoma brucei parasites develop and persist in artificial human skin as skin tissue forms

Project description:Transmission of Trypanosoma brucei by tsetse flies involves the deposition of the infective quiescent metacyclic stage into the mammalian skin at the site of the fly’s bite. In the skin, the metacyclic parasites reactivate and differentiate into proliferative trypanosomes before colonizing the host's blood and tissues. We have generated an advanced human skin equivalent and used tsetse flies to naturally infect the artificial skin with trypanosomes. We have detailed the chronological order of the parasites' development in the skin and found a rapid activation and differentiation of the tsetse-transmitted cell cycle‑arrested metacyclic trypanosomes to proliferative parasites. Single-parasite transcriptomics documented the biological events during differentiation and host invasion at five different time points. After the establishment of a proliferative trypanosome population in the skin, the parasites entered a reversible quiescence program characterized by slow replication and a strongly reduced metabolism. We termed these quiescent trypanosomes skin tissue forms (STF), which may play an important role in maintaining the trypanosome infection in aparasitemic, asymptomatic individuals.

After three days, a maximum of 4 peptides (3 mg/each peptide), which are selected based on the results of HLA typing and peptide-specific IgG titers, are subcutaneously administrated with incomplete Freund’s adjuvant (Montanide ISA51, Seppic)once a week for consecutive 6 weeks. During the treatment, safety is evaluated.The dose of anti-IL6 receptor antibody is escalated, if the safty is confirmed in 6 independent patients at the same dose.

Influence of inflammation on the expression and activity of glycosyltransferases in human bronchial mucosa

Project description:Bronchial inflammation is common in patients suffering from Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and is commonly responsible for mortality from CF. It is known that this inflammation has an influence over glycosylation events in bronchial mucins and abnormal glycosylation has been described in CF. These abnormalities can not be directly linked to CF, as the cells that secrete bronchial mucins do not express CFTR. This study is to determine if bronchial inflammation could be responsible for abnormal glycoslylation in CF. Pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF, IL6, and IL8, as well as anti-inflammatory cytokine IL10 are present and seem to have active roles in the respiratory tree of CF patients. In this study, the effects of these cytokines on the expression of glycosyl- and sulfotransferases involved in the biosynthesis of O-glycans in the bronchial cell line Calu-3 were analyzed. Three replicates for each cytokine treated group and controls were hybridized to GLYCOv2 array.
