Project description:The immune response to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) is complex and varies across individuals. A controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) study using Pf sporozoites (PfSPZ) was conducted to optimize administration methods and investigate early immune responses. Naïve volunteers were infected via intramuscular (IM) or direct venous inoculation (DVI), with varying parasitemia rates and pre-patent periods. Blood transcriptional profiling identified two distinct immune response profiles: high responders, with stronger and faster transcriptomic activation, and low responders, with weaker responses. These profiles correlated with differences in antibody levels, cytokine/chemokine responses, and dendritic cell phenotyping. High responders exhibited lower innate immune activation but stronger baseline T and B cell signatures. Understanding these early immune mechanisms may help identify pathways to enhance effective and lasting malaria immunity.

Project description:Five year survival rates for pancreatic cancer remain low, around 11%. We assessed differential gene expression between SBRT responders and non-responders as well as expression pre and post SBRT. Samples were obtained from the University of Colorado biorepository. All patients had borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by restaging, and treatment with 30–33.6 Gy SBRT to pancreatic tumors, followed by pancreaticoduodenectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. We observed increases in PDL1, PD1, CD25, and a decrease in CD122 expression following RT. Furthermore, we found that responders to SBRT exhibit decrased CD25 expression with increased CD122 and CD132 expression compared to non-responders. Using GSEA of responders vs. non-responders, we found responders to SBRT exhibit enrichment of inflammatory response, IFN signaling, and IL2/STAT5 signaling.

Project description:Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors. Asia has a high incidence of gastric cancer globally. South Korea, Mongolia, Japan and China are the four countries with the highest incidence of gastric cancer in the world. Gansu province in China has the estimated age-standardized incidence rates and mortality rates by Chinese standard population of 62.34/100,000 and 36.94/100,000, respectively, in 2012, which are much higher than the average level of China (22.06/100,000 and 15.16/100,000) in the same year. As a high incidence area of gastric cancer in China, Wuwei city in Gansu province has the prevalence of gastric cancer almost 5 times higher than the average level nationwide. In this study, the cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal mucosa tissues of 5 patients with early gastric cancers who were treated with ESD in Gansu Wuwei Tumor Hospital and the First Hospital of Lanzhou University were collected. All of the patients are from Gansu, China. MicroRNA array was used to find the differences in microRNAs expression profile between the early gastric cancer tissues and the para-cancer normal tissues. It is expected to explore the reasons of the abnormal high incidence of gastric cancer in Gansu Province, China, from the aspect of microRNAs expression profile characteristics.

Project description:To gain a better understanding of the mechanisms associated with the differences in the individual response to METH and thereby, further develop a list of candidate genes and pathways of possible relevance to human stimulant dependence, mania and psychosis, we conducted the present study. Rats were treated acutely with either METH or saline and their behavior measured for 3 hours after drug administration. METH treated rats were divided into high responders (HR) and low responders (LR) based on their stereotypy response. We compared gene expression between HR and LR and between these two groups and saline control.

Project description:With poor prognosis and low-survival rates, Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) has been associated with increased angiogenesis, which is known to aid tumour growth and metastasis. Anti-angiogenic therapies that were developed to address this have mostly generated disappointing clinical results. Further research into targeted approaches is limited by the lack of understanding of molecular profile of cancer-associated vasculature. Here, we have applied unbiased whole transcriptome spatial profiling of in situ gene expressions of endothelial cells localized in full-face patient TNBC tissues and adjacent normal breast tissues. Our comparative analysis showed that 2412 genes were differentially expressed (padj<0.05) between the tumour endothelial cells and normal adjacent endothelial cells. Pathway enrichment showed the enrichment of gene sets related to cell-cell, cell-ECM adhesion, chromatin organization and remodeling, and protein-DNA complex subunit organization. Overall, the results have revealed unique molecular profiles and signalling pathways of tumour vasculature which can potentially enable the detection of potential targets for TNBC prognosis and anti-angiogenic treatments and provide a greater understanding of metastasis . The results of this pilot study need validation in larger independent cohorts.

Project description:Myelodysplastic syndromes and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) are characterized by mutations in epigenetic modifiers and aberrant DNA methylation. DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DMTis) are used to treat these disorders, but response is highly variable with few means to predict which patients will benefit. To develop a molecular means of predicting response at diagnosis, we examined baseline differences in mutations, DNA methylation, and gene expression in 40 CMML patients responsive and resistant to decitabine (DAC). While somatic mutations did not differentiate responders and non-responders, we were able to identify for the first time 158 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) at baseline between responders and non-responders using next-generation sequencing. These DMRs were primarily localized to non-promoter regions and overlapped with distal regulatory enhancers. Using the methylation profiles, we developed an epigenetic classifier that accurately predicted DAC response at the time of diagnosis. We also found 53 differentially expressed genes between responders and non-responders. Genes up-regulated in responders were enriched in the cell cycle, potentially contributing to effective DAC incorporation. Two chemokines overexpressed in non-responders -- CXCL4 and CXCL7 -- were able to block the effect of DAC on normal CD34+ and primary CMML cells in vitro, suggesting their up-regulation contributes to primary DAC resistance. DNA methylation profiling in bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM MNC) from 39 CMML patients (19 decitabine responders vs. 20 non-responders).

Project description:Resistance training (RT) promotes muscle protein accretion and myofiber hypertrophy, driven by dynamic processes of protein synthesis and degradation. While molecular studies have focused on acute signalling or long-term hypertrophy and strength gains, a critical gap remains in understanding the intermediate processes of muscle adaptation. Acute signalling does not always correlate directly with long-term outcomes, highlighting the need for a time-course analysis of protein abundance and turnover rates. To address this, we utilised deuterium oxide labelling and peptide mass spectrometry to quantify absolute protein content and synthesis rates in skeletal muscle. A daily programmed resistance training regimen was applied to the rat tibialis anterior (TA) via electrical stimulation of the left hind limb for 10, 20, and 30 days (5 sets of 10 repetitions daily). Muscle samples from stimulated (Stim) and contralateral control (Ctrl) limbs were analysed, quantifying 658 protein abundances and 215 protein synthesis rates.

Project description:The significant economic burden and high mortality rates resulting from seasonal influenza outbreaks, especially in high risk groups such as the elderly, represent an important public health problem. The prevailing inadequate efficacy of seasonal vaccines, both conventional and elderly-tailored, is a crucial bottleneck. Consequentially, understanding immunological and molecular mechanisms resulting in differential influenza vaccine responsiveness is a prerequisite for the development of new or improved vaccination strategies. To assess differences within the specific risk group of the elderly, randomly selected individuals (≥ 65 years) were immunized with the adjuvanted influenza vaccine Fluad®. Samples were subjected to single cell transcriptome analysis. The analyses revealed profound features segregating vaccine responders from nonresponders as classified according to their vaccine-induced sero-conversion. Non-responders are characterized by a poorly functional, suppressive phenotype, showing a weaker humoral and cellular immune activation and more suppressive regulatory T and B cells. Triple responders display an efficient immune functionality characterized by the activation of humoral and cellular immunity and the up-regulation of genes related to signaling pathways, including those for anti-viral responses, protein processing and B cell activation. The generated comprehensive high dimensional dataset enables the identification of putative mechanisms and nodes responsible for vaccine non-responsiveness regardless of confounding age-dependent effects.

Project description:Prostate cancer is characterized by heterogeneity in the clinical course that often does not to correlate with morphologic features of the tumor. Metastasis reflects the most adverse outcome of prostate cancer, and to date there are no reliable morphologic features or serum biomarkers that can reliably predict which patients are at higher risk of developing metastatic disease. Understanding the differences in the biology of metastatic and organ confined primary tumors is essential for developing new prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. Using Affymetrix oligonucleotide arrays, we analyzed gene expression profiles of 24 androgen-ablation resistant metastatic samples obtained from 4 patients and a previously published dataset of 64 primary prostate tumor samples. Differential gene expression was analyzed after removing potentially uninformative stromal genes, addressing the differences in cellular content between primary and metastatic tumors. The metastatic samples are highly heterogeneous in expression; however, differential expression analysis shows that 415 genes are upregulated and 364 genes are downregulated at least 2 fold in every patient with metastasis. The expression profile of metastatic samples reveals changes in expression of a unique set of genes representing both the androgen ablation related pathways and other metastasis related gene networks such as cell adhesion, bone remodeling and cell cycle. The differentially expressed genes include metabolic enzymes, transcription factors such as Forkhead Box M1 (FoxM1) and cell adhesion molecules such as Osteopontin (SPP1). We hypothesize that these genes have a role in the biology of metastatic disease and that they represent potential therapeutic targets for prostate cancer. Experiment Overall Design: Using Affymetrix oligonucleotide arrays, we analyzed gene expression profiles of 24 androgen-ablation resistant metastatic samples obtained from 4 patients and a previously published dataset of 64 primary prostate tumor samples. Differential gene expression was analyzed after removing potentially uninformative stromal genes, addressing the differences in cellular content between primary and metastatic tumors.
