Genetic defects affecting the development of severe Buruli Ulcer

ABSTRACT: Buruli ulcer (BU) is a tropical infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. BU causes profound skin ulcerations and eventually bone infections. Life-long functional sequelae are observed in more than 20% of patients, most of whom are children. Several observations, in particular the large variability in the clinical severity of the disease after infection, suggested the role of human genetic factors in the development of BU. Here, we report two children with severe BU, born of consanguineous parents. The deep genetic exploration of this family led to the identification of a small deletion on chromosome 8 in both patients. The corresponding article is in press in PloS Neglected Tropical Diseases

Genome-wide analysis of long noncoding RNA expression profile in patients with Marjolin’s ulcer

Project description:Marjolin’s Ulcer is an aggressive cutaneous malignancy that typically ensues over a period of time in the post-burned lesions and scars or any other chronic wound. Marjolin’s Ulcer makes up 1.2% of all skin cancers, it is reported that 2% of squamous cell carcinoma and 0.03% of basal cell carcinoma originate in burn scars. Recent studies have shown that long non-coding (lncRNA) plays critical roles in a myriad of biological processes and human diseases,Since the roles of lncRNA in Marjolin’s Ulcer remain unknown,they were investigated in the study.Our findings indicate that the expression profiles of lncRNAs has changed in Marjolin’s Ulcer as compared with normal skin and para-cancerous scar, and may provide novel insight into the molecular mechanism underlying the disease and potential novel diagnostic or therapeutic targets for Marjolin’s Ulcer.

Gene expression of ulcer-associated cell lineage

Project description:We applied RNA-seq analysis of total RNA isolated from laser capture microdissected intestinal epithelium. The analysis aimed at charactericing the gene expression seen in ulcer-associated cell lineage epithelial cells, and to contrast this with that of healthy control epithelium and epithelium from inflammatory bowel disease-patients with active inflammation.

Transcriptomics in whole-blood cells of Buruli ulcer patients identifies a signature of inflammation

Project description:Mycolactone, a lipid-like toxin, is the major virulence factor of Mycobacterium ulcerans, the etiological agent of Buruli ulcer. Its involvement in lesions development has been widely described in early stages of the disease, through its cytotoxic and immunosuppressive activities, but less is known about later stages. Here, we revisit the role of mycolactone in disease outcome and provide the first demonstration of the pro-inflammatory potential of this toxin. We found that the mycolactone-containing mycobacterial extracellular vesicles produced by M. ulcerans induced the production of IL-1β, a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine, in a TLR2-dependent manner, targeting NLRP3/1 inflammasomes. We showed our data to be relevant in a physiological context. The in vivo injection of these mycolactone-containing vesicles induced a strong local inflammatory response and tissue damages, which were prevented by corticosteroids. Finally, several soluble pro-inflammatory factors, including IL-1β, were detected in infected tissues from mice and Buruli ulcer patients. Our results revisit Buruli ulcer pathophysiology by giving a new insight, thus paving the way for development of new therapeutic strategies, taking account the pro-inflammatory potential of mycolactone.

Infection with Burkholderia pseudomallei – immune correlates of survival in acute melioidosis

Project description:Melioidosis is a neglected tropical disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. It is widespread in Southeast Asia and under-reported across tropical regions worldwide. Patients present with a range of clinical syndromes including sepsis, pneumonia and focal abscesses, with a mortality rate of 40% in hospitalized patients in Thailand. Up to two-thirds of patients with melioidosis have diabetes mellitus. In this experiment we sought to characterize pathways activated by whole killed B. pseudomallei bacteria and by three vaccine candidate proteins from B. pseudomallei, BPSL2520 (uncharacterized protein), BPSS1525 (BopE) and BPSL2096 (AhpC) in patients with diabetes and acute melioidosis.

Transplantation of gastric organoid-derived spasmolytic polypeptide/TFF2-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) cell lineage promotes ulcer repair in the aged stomach

Project description:Background & Aims: Spasmolytic polypeptide/TFF2-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) is known to emerge following parietal cell loss and during Helicobacter pylori infection, however its role in gastric ulcer repair is unknown. Therefore, we sought to investigate if SPEM plays a role in epithelial regeneration. Methods: Acetic acid ulcers were induced in young (2-3 months) C57BL/6 mice to determine the quality of ulcer repair. Gastric tissue was collected and analyzed to determine the expression of SPEM within the regenerating epithelium. As a comparison to native tissue the expression of SPEM was also identified within cultured gastric mouse-derived organoids. Results: Wound healing in the mice coincided with the emergence of SPEM expressing CD44v within the ulcerated region. The emergence of SPEM was also observed in cultured gastric organoids. Conclusions: These data demonstrate the SPEM may play a role in epithelial regeneration. Conclusions: These data demonstrate the SPEM may play a role in epithelial regeneration. 4 samples were used for ulcerated and uninjured tissue. 1 sample was used for intact tissue and organoid-derived RNA. The 'Ulcerated' samples represent C57BL/6 mice with ulcers and the 'Uninjured' samples represent the healthy controls (for "ulcerated" samples). The "Intact stomach tissue" and "Gastric organoids" samples are other types of samples that compared separately. "Gastric organoids" in this comparison are derived from "Intact stomach tissue".

Sarcoptes scabiei ES proteomics

Project description:Background: The parasitic mite Sarcoptes scabiei is an economically highly significant parasite of the skin of humans and animals worldwide. This mite causes a neglected tropical disease (NTD), called scabies - one of the commonest dermatological problems globally, resulting in major morbidity, disability, stigma and poverty. In hyperendemic situations, scabies is often associated with secondary opportunistic bacterial infections/diseases - a major concern in children. Although some stages of this mite can be treated with drugs, resistance against some drugs is emerging, and there is no vaccine available against scabies. Here, we report molecular resources (including a high-quality genome as well as transcriptomic and proteomic data sets) for S. scabiei to aid basic and applied research of this and related mites.
