Project description:An opportunistic intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis, a member of the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) cluster, causes respiratory disease in immunosuppressed hosts. In particular, infected companion dogs are a potential role to transmit the agent to children or immunosuppressed people. The purpose of this study is to investigate a host-M. avium hominissuis interactome in canine PBMCs during the infection.

Project description:We sought to elucidate the differentially expressed host factors in bronchoalveolar lavage cells (BALc) from nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)-infected subjects by studying the host transcriptome in during infection. A heatmap was created from the normalized expression of selected genes that showed statistically significant differential expression between NTM-infected and uninfected subjects. Genes with similar expression patterns were grouped and the most highly expressed genes are shown. One of the most differentially expressed gene in the NTM-infected group was the CFD (complement factor D) gene. Of note, a statistically significant three-fold increase in expression of the CAMP gene, encoding the LL-37 peptide was observed in the NTM-infected subject group (padj=0.05).

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is still a major global health challenge, killing over 1.5 million people each year, and hence, there is a need to identify and develop novel treatments for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). The prevalence of infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is also increasing and has overtaken TB cases in the United States and much of the developed world. Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) is one of the most frequently encountered NTM and is difficult to treat. We describe the use of drug-disease association using a semantic knowledge graph approach combined with machine learning models that has enabled the identification of several molecules for testing anti-mycobacterial activity. We established that niclosamide (M. tuberculosis IC90 2.95 μM; M. abscessus IC90 59.1 μM) and tribromsalan (M. tuberculosis IC90 76.92 μM; M. abscessus IC90 147.4 μM) inhibit M. tuberculosis and M. abscessus in vitro. To investigate the mode of action, we determined the transcriptional response of M. tuberculosis and M. abscessus to both compounds in axenic log phase, demonstrating a broad effect on gene expression that differed from known M. tuberculosis inhibitors. Both compounds elicited transcriptional responses indicative of respiratory pathway stress and the dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism. Further testing against drug-resistant isolates and other NTM is warranted to clarify the usefulness of these repurposed drugs for mycobacteria.

Project description:Background: Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have an elevated lifetime risk of infection and disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Currently, there is no method to predict whether patients with cystic fibrosis will develop disease related to non-tuberculous mycobacteria. In non cystic fibrosis populations, several genetic susceptibility factors have been described. In this study, we examined whether patients with cystic fibrosis demonstrate a similar pattern of genetic susceptibility and explored host immune-related biomarkers predictive of NTM pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). Methods: We evaluated whole blood gene expression using bulk RNA-seq in a cohort of CF patients at the time of first isolation of NTM. Differential gene expression was compared in patients who did (n = 12) vs. did not (n= 30) develop NTM-PD following first NTM growth. Results: No differences in demographics or composition of white blood cell sample populations at the time of sample collection were identified between groups. There were no significant differences in the expression of genes previously reported to confer susceptibility to NTM-PD in non-CF populations. However, CF patients who went on to develop NTM-PD had higher expression of genes involved in the interferon ( and ), tumor necrosis factor, and IL6 STAT3 JAK pathways. Conclusion: Patients with CF who develop NTM-PD have increased expression of genes involved in innate immunity, in contrast to non-CF populations where these responses seem to be suppressed.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of lymphoma samples were performed to assess EGFR and PLAUR/uPAR expression profiles and compare to human tumors from TCGA. Abstract Sarcomas differ from carcinomas in their mesenchymal origin. Therapeutic advancements have come slowly so alternative drugs and models are urgently needed. These studies report a new drug for sarcomas that simultaneously targets both tumor and tumor neovasculature. eBAT is a bispecific angiotoxin consisting of truncated, deimmunized Pseudomonas exotoxin fused to epidermal growth factor (EGF) and the amino terminal fragment (ATF) of urokinase. Here, we study the drug in an in vivo “ontarget” companion dog trial since eBAT effectively kills canine hemangiosarcoma (HSA) and human sarcoma cells in vitro. We reasoned the model has value due to the common occurrence of spontaneous sarcomas in dogs and a limited lifespan allowing for rapid accrual and data collection. Splenectomized dogs with minimal residual disease were given one cycle of eBAT followed by adjuvant doxorubicin in an adaptive dose-finding, phase I- II study of 23 dogs with spontaneous, stage I-II, splenic HSA. eBAT improved 6-month survival from <40% in a comparison population to ~70% in dogs treated at a biologically active dose (50 μg/kg). Six dogs were long-term survivors, living >450 days. eBAT abated expected toxicity associated with EGFR-targeting, a finding supported by mouse studies. Urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) and EGFR are targets for human sarcomas, so thorough evaluation is crucial for validation of the dog model. Thus, we validated these markers for human sarcoma targeting in the study of 212 human and 97 canine sarcoma samples. Our results support further translation of eBAT for human patients with sarcomas and perhaps other EGFR-expressing malignancies.

Project description:Pet dogs may provide a useful large-animal model of spontaneously occuring non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but complete molecular characterization is lacking. We used gene expression microarrays to molecularly characterize canine lymphoma, and found similarities between canine B-cell lymphoma and human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. We isolated RNA from pre-treatment biopsies from dogs with B-cell lymphoma and performed gene expression profiling.
