Synthetic mRNA Vaccines and Transcriptomic Dysregulation: Evidence from New-Onset Adverse Events and Cancers Post-Vaccination

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Synthetic mRNA vaccines have raised concerns regarding prolonged spike protein expression, immune activation, and potential off-target effects. This study investigates transcriptomic alterations in individuals with new-onset adverse events or cancer following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Methods: Bulk RNA sequencing was performed on peripheral blood from two patient groups: individuals with new-onset nonmalignant adverse events and individuals newly diagnosed with cancer post-vaccination. A control group of healthy individuals was used for comparison. Differential gene expression was analyzed using DESeq2, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was conducted using the MSigDB database and custom gene sets. Results: Both vaccine patient groups displayed widespread transcriptional dysregulation. In the nonmalignant adverse event group, hallmark enrichments included mitochondrial dysfunction, proteasome-mediated stress, transcriptomic instability, and systemic inflammation. The cancer group exhibited additional hallmarks of genomic instability, and epigenetic reprogramming. Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), ribosomal stress, and MYC activation were prominent in both groups, while immune signaling via TLRs and type I interferons was particularly elevated in cancer patients.

Cross-reactive antibodies enhance live attenuated virus infection for increased immunogenicity

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 30 subjects collected at day 0, day 1 and day 3 post yellow fever (YF) vaccination. Each patient sample is performed in duplicate to reduce the chance of error. Briefly, the project investigates how cross-reactive JE antibodies that are generated from prior vaccination can influence YF live-attenuated vaccine (LAV). The groups are hence segregated based on the YF antibody titers after 1 month vaccination. Group 4 refers to the control group where individuals received only the YF LAV. Enhancing group refers to the treatment group (given JE followed by YF vaccine), where individuals had YF antibody titers higher than 99% confidence interval of the YF antibody titers of the control group. Non-enhancing group, on the other hand, refers to the treatment group where individuals had YF antibody titers within or lower 99% confidence interval of the control group. Our present study provides evidence that enhancing levels of cross-reactive antibodies from prior Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccination can improve subsequent YF immunogenicity. These microarray results indicate the genes and gene signatures that are associated with the differences in YF immunogenicity.

Gene expression comparison of colorectal cancer samples from patients diagnosed at a young and elderly age

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence increases with age and early onset of the disease is an indication of genetic predisposition, estimated to cause up to 30 % of all CRC cases. To identify genes associated with an increased risk for CRC, genome-wide gene expression levels of CRCs from patients diagnosed at an early age and CRCs from patients diagnosed at higher age were investigated. Patients with known hereditary predisposition syndromes were excluded from the study. Twenty four patients were diagnosed at a young age (mean, 43 years; range, 28-53 years), referred to as the early onset group. They were excluded from the HNPCC and FAP syndromes by clinical criteria and no other cancer syndromes were recorded for these patients. The second group consisted of 17 patients with primary diagnosis at old age (mean, 79 years; range, 69-87 years), referred to as the late onset group. The samples from the late onset group were selected to reflect the composition of the early onset group with respect to gender, tumor localization and tumor stage according to The International Union Against Cancer (UICC)/American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). Microsatellite instability (MSI) status was previously analyzed in all samples to eliminate the potential risk of including patients with inherited DNA repair deficiencies.

Obese individuals exhibit distinct temporal gene expression dynamics in response to influenza vaccination

Project description:The effectiveness of the seasonal influenza vaccine varies between individuals. Specific risk groups with comorbidities, such as the obese, have an increased risk of infection even when vaccinated. It has been proposed that a heightened baseline inflammatory state and alterations in adaptive immune cell populations in obese individuals may adversely impact immune response to pathogens and vaccines. Therefore, understanding differences in vaccine response in obese individuals is critical for the development of improved influenza vaccine design and strategies. Previously, we identified a transcriptomic signature prior to seasonal influenza vaccination that is predictive of an individual’s response to the influenza vaccine. To understand the dynamics of the host response following vaccination we studied systemic gene expression from whole blood collected from 163 vaccinated individuals on days 3, 7, and 28 post-vaccination. Gene expression profiles were compared between high and low vaccine responders in both obese and non-obese groups. We detected characteristic changes in gene expression over time, with a peak at day 7 post-vaccination. A large subset of genes associated with the adaptive immune response exhibited significantly different expression in high- and non- vaccine responders. Distinct gene sets presented differing temporal patterns in different weight and response groups, indicative of molecular processes impacting the immune response to vaccination.

Recurrent frameshift neoantigen vaccine elicits protective immunity with reduced tumor burden and improved overall survival in a Lynch syndrome mouse model

Project description:DNA mismatch repair deficiency (MMRD) drives microsatellite instability (MSI). Cells with MSI accumulate numerous frameshift mutations. Frameshift mutations affecting cancer-related genes may promote tumorigenesis and, therefore, are shared among independently arising MSI tumors. Consequently, such recurrent frameshift mutations can give rise to shared immunogenic frameshift peptides (FSPs) that represent ideal candidates for a vaccine against MSI cancer. Pathogenic germline variants of mismatch repair genes cause Lynch syndrome (LS), a hereditary cancer syndrome affecting approximately 20-25 million individuals worldwide. LS individuals are at high risk of developing MSI cancer. Previously, we demonstrated safety and immunogenicity of an FSP-based vaccine in a Phase I/IIa clinical trial. However, the cancer-preventive effect of FSP vaccination in the scenario of LS has not been demonstrated so far.

Transcriptional and Immunologic Correlates of Response to Pandemic Influenza Vaccine in Aviremic, HIV-Infected Children

Project description:People living with HIV (PWH) often exhibit poor responses to influenza vaccination despite effective combination anti-retroviral (ART) mediated viral suppression. There exists a paucity of data in identifying immune correlates of influenza vaccine response in context of HIV infection that would be useful in improving its efficacy in PWH, especially in younger individuals. Transcriptomic data were obtained by microarray from whole blood isolated from aviremic pediatric and adolescent HIV-infected individuals (4-25 yrs) given two doses of Novartis/H1N1 09 vaccine during the pandemic H1N1 influenza outbreak. Supervised clustering and gene set enrichment identified contrasts between individuals exhibiting high and low antibody responses to vaccination. High responders exhibited hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers >1:40 post-first dose and 4-fold increase over baseline. Baseline molecular profiles indicated increased gene expression in metabolic stress pathways in low responders compared to high responders. Inflammation-related and interferon-inducible gene expression pathways were higher in low responders 3 wks post-vaccination. The broad age range and developmental stage of participants in this study prompted additional analysis by age group (e.g. <13yrs and >13yrs). This analysis revealed differential enrichment of gene pathways before and after vaccination in the two age groups. Notably, CXCR5, a homing marker expressed on T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, was enriched in high responders (>13yrs) following vaccination which was accompanied by peripheral Tfh expansion. Our results comprise a valuable resource of immune correlates of vaccine response to pandemic influenza in HIV infected children that may be used to identify favorable targets for improved vaccine design in different age groups.

Human Immune Response Dynamics - gene expression

Project description:We investigated changes in the human immune system following vaccination against H1N1 swine flu, to define the healthy immue response to vaccination, and to correlate it to cases of non-response and adverse events. Gene expression was measured twice before and twice after vaccination (week before/on the day of vaccination/one day and week after). Responsiveness to the vaccine was defined as fourfold increase in HAI (hemagglutination inhibition) and NM (neuraminidase inhibition) titers and adverse reaction as a sum of patient reported symptoms, measured n a Likert scale.

DNA Methylation and RNA Expression Profiles in Lung Adenocarcinomas [RNA Expression]

Project description:Lung cancer occurs in never-smokers. Epigenetic changes in lung cancer potentially represent important diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic targets. We compared DNA methylation profiles of 28 adenocarcinomas of the lungs of never-smokers with paired adjacent nonmalignant lung tissue. We correlated differential methylation changes with gene expression changes from the same 28 samples. We observed a distinct separation in methylation profiles between tumor and adjacent nonmalignant lung tissue using principal component analysis. Tumors were generally hypomethylated compared with adjacent nonmalignant tissue. Of 1,906 differentially methylated CpG sites between tumor and nonmalignant tissue, 1,198 were within classically defined CpG islands where tumors were hypermethylated compared with nonmalignant tissue. A total of 708 sites were outside CpG islands where tumors were hypomethylated compared with nonmalignant tissue. There were significant differences in expression of 351 genes (23%) of the 1,522 genes matched to the differentially methylated CpG sites. Genes that were not significantly differentially expressed and were hypermethylated within CpG sites were enriched for homeobox genes. These results suggest that the methylation profiles of lung adenocarcinomas of never-smokers and adjacent nonmalignant lung tissue are significantly different. Despite the differential methylation of homeobox genes, no significant changes in expression of these genes were detected.
