Gene Expression Analysis of IgM+CD27+ B Cells in HCV-Infected Individuals with Mixed Cryoglobulinemia

ABSTRACT: Analysis of IgM+CD27+ B cells in individuals with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC). We have previously shown that HCV+MC+ individuals have clonal expansions of IgM+ memory B cells. This study aims to characterize differentially expressed genes in peripheral IgM+CD27+ B cells in HCV RNA+MC+ individuals, compared to HCV RNA+MC- subjects and HCV RNA- healthy controls. IgM+ B cells were isolated form donor PBMCs by immunomagnetic negative selection, and the CD27+ subset was further purified by positive selection. 2ng RNA was isolated from cells and amplified using the Nugen WT-Ovation Amplification Kit. cDNA was synthesized, biotin labeled, and hybridized to Illumina human v2 microarrays. Data were collected and analyzed with Illumina Genome Studio. Raw data were normalized by transforming measurements less than 0.01 to 0.01, normalizing per chip to the 50th percentile, and normalizing per gene to the median. Normalized data were then filtered to remove genes with control signals <170. Genes that were significantly upregulated in HCV RNA+MC+ vs HCV RNA+MC- subjects' IgM+CD27+ B cells were identified using a Welch t-test with p-calue cutoff 0.05 and Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate of 0.05. The resulting gene list was then filtered for genes showing >2-fold differential expression.

Project description:CD8+ and CD4+ T cells from HIV infected patients with HIV-RNA viremia of >50 copies/ml and CD8+ and CD4+ T cells from healthy controls were isolated by negative selection (Miltenyi Biotech, Auburn, CA). Cell sorting of the CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets were performed based on surface staining of CD3+CD8+ or CD3+CD4+ and na ve CD45RA+CD27+CD127highHLA-DRlow, and CD3+CD8+ or CD3+CD4+ and memory CD45RA-CD27+CD127highHLA-DRlow. Sorted cell populations were spun down and stored as dry pellets at -80M-BM-0C. Samples analyzed by transcript levels of genes related to cytokine signaling were determined by the JAK/STAT Signaling Pathway microarray. CD8+ and CD4+ T cells from HIV infected patients with HIV-RNA viremia of >50 copies/ml and CD8+ and CD4+ T cells from healthy controls were isolated by negative selection (Miltenyi Biotech, Auburn, CA).

Sorted cell populations were spun down and stored as dry pellets at -80M-BM-0C. Samples analyzed by transcript levels of genes related to cytokine signaling were determined by the JAK/STAT Signaling Pathway microarray (http://www.sabiosciences.com/rt_pcr_product/HTML/PAHS-039A.html, SABiosciences Frederick, MD). Briefly, total RNA was harvested from each individual T cell subset from each patient or healthy control and contaminating DNA was digested with DNase. Messenger RNA was converted to cDNA and loaded onto PCR array plates for quantitative real-time PCR. Quantification of transcript levels was determined by normalizing to 5 housekeeping genes from each individual sample. Relative gene expression levels for each subset were averaged and compared between cell populations from the patient group and healthy controls. Because of the multiple comparisons only p values M-bM-^IM-$ 0.01 were considered significant.
