Project description:These 40 microarray datasets represent whole blood samples from 31 primary dengue infection patients and 9 healthy volunteers from Managua, Nicaragua. The dengue infection patients include both primary dengue fever (DF) and primary dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) cases.

Project description:This study examines how aging influences the proteomic landscape of human spermatozoa. Proteomic analysis was done on sperm samples from three groups of normal, fertile men: young adults (21–30 years), late adults (31–40 years), and advanced age (41–51 years). The analysis revealed dynamic age-related alterations in human sperm proteins potentially impacting key sperm physiological functions such as motility, metabolism, and fertilization.

Project description:Testosterone deficiency afflicts approximately 30% of men aged from 40-89 years. It is associated with type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. However, the causality of the relationship between low testosterone and metabolic diseases is unclear. We have analysed plasma samples from thirty healthy male volunteers (19-32 years of age) with pharmacologically-induced testosterone deficiency. Blood samples were collected under three conditions: normal testosterone (baseline), ‘zero’ testosterone and ‘restored’ testosterone. As a proof-of-concept, a sample pooling approach was used to obtain one pool per condition, with each pool consisting of 30 individual samples. The proteomic profiles identified significant functional differences, related to the innate immune system, the regulation of insuline-like growth factors, collagen degradation, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis process, among others.

Project description:We used microarrays to perform systematic profiling of human microRNAs in serum from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients to find potential biomarkers. By comparing the serum microRNA profiles of the GBM patients and healthy volunteers, potential biomarkers for GBM were investigated. Using a custom microarray platforms containing 1843 species of miRNAs, we previously identified 19 serum miRNAs with differential expression in GBM patients.

Project description:To examine if gene expression profiles of many Behçet’s disease (BD) patients are commonly abnormal compared to those of healthy volunteers, we performed a genome-wide complementary DNA microarray analysis using an Agilent Hu44K array; RNA samples were isolated from the PBMCs of 41 individual BD patients (32 females and 9 males) and 17 normal volunteers.

Project description:Objective: Our study aimed to evaluate differences in plasma lipidome between patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia (HUA) detected < 40 years (HUA<40) and > 40 years, gout patients with disease onset < 40 years (Gout<40) and > 40 years, and normouricemic healthy controls.
Methods: Plasma samples were collected from 94 asymptomatic HUA (77% HUA<40) subjects, 196 gout patients (59% Gout<40), and 70 normouricemic controls. A comprehensive targeted lipidomic analysis was performed to semi-quantify 608 lipids in plasma. Univariate and multivariate statistics and advanced visualizations were applied.
Results: Both HUA and gout patients showed similar changes in lipid profiles with the highest upregulation of phosphatidylethanolamines (median fold-changes and p-values were 2.9/3.4 and p=1.5x10-16/p=5.5x10-21 for HUA/Gout, respectively) and downregulation of lysophosphatidylcholine plasmalogens/plasmanyls (median fold-changes and p-values were 0.3/0.5 and p=4.8x10-21/p=2.2x10-21 for HUA/Gout, respectively). More profound changes were observed in HUA<40 and Gout<40. Moreover, a shift in the lipid profile towards controls was apparent in HUA<40 and Gout<40 during urate-lowering treatment. Multivariate statistics differentiated HUA<40 and Gout<40 groups from controls with an overall accuracy of > 94%.
Conclusion: The changes in the lipidome of HUA and Gout patients show a significant impact on lipid metabolism and a severe pathobiochemical effect, with no relationship with common determinants such as body mass index, metabolic syndrome, or pathogenic variants in major urate transporter ABCG2. The most significant glycerophospholipid dysregulation was found in HUA<40 and Gout<40 patients, together with a correction of this imbalance with urate-lowering treatment.

Project description:BACKGROUND: In previous studies using candidate gene approaches, low sperm count (oligospermia) has been associated with altered sperm mRNA content and DNA methylation in both imprinted and non-imprinted genes. We performed a genome-wide analysis of sperm DNA methylation and mRNA content to test for associations with sperm function. METHODS AND RESULTS: Sperm DNA and mRNA were isolated from 21 men with a range of semen parameters presenting to a tertiary male reproductive health clinic. DNA methylation was measured with the Illumina Infinium array at 27,000 CpG loci. Unsupervised clustering of methylation data differentiated the 21 sperm samples by their motility values. Recursively partitioned mixture modeling (RPMM) of methylation data resulted in four distinct methylation profiles that were significantly associated with sperm motility (P=0.01). Linear models of microarray analysis (LIMMA) was performed based on motility and identified 9,189 CpG loci with significantly altered methylation (Q<0.05) in the low motility samples, with many loci located in genes associated with subfertility and epigenetic regulation. In the low motility samples, the majority of disrupted CpG loci (80%) were hypomethylated. Of the aberrantly methylated CpGs, 194 were associated with imprinted genes almost equally distributed into hypermethylated (predominantly paternally expressed) and hypomethylated (predominantly maternally expressed) groups. Sperm mRNA was measured with the Human Gene 1.0 ST Affymetrix GeneChip Array. LIMMA analysis based on motility identified 20 candidate transcripts as differentially expressed in low motility sperm, including HDAC1 (NCBI 3065), SIRT3 (NCBI 23410), and DNMT3A (NCBI 1788). Altered expression of these epigenetic regulatory genes was associated with RPMM DNA methylation class. CONCLUSIONS: Using integrative genome-wide approaches to study epigenetic and gene expression patterns in human sperm we identified CpG methylation profiles and mRNA alterations associated with low sperm motility, and that low motility sperm may have aberrant genome-wide hypomethylation due to excess HDAC1 activity.
