Project description:Differential DNA methylation (DNAm) in the brain is associated with many psychiatric diseases, but access to brain tissues is essentially limited to post-mortem samples. The use of surrogate tissues has become common in identifying methylation changes associated with psychiatric disease. In this study, we determined the extent to which peripheral tissues can be used as surrogates for DNAm in the brain. Blood, saliva, buccal, and live brain tissue samples from 27 medically intractable epilepsy patients undergoing brain resection were collected. Genome-wide methylation was assessed with the Infinium HumanMethylation450 (n=12) and HumanMethylationEPIC BeadChip arrays (n=21). For each CpG and each gene, levels of brain-peripheral tissue correlation varied widely. This indicates that to determine the most useful surrogate tissue for representing brain DNAm, the patterns specific to the genomic region of interest must be considered. To assist in that objective, we have developed a website, IMAGE-CpG, that allows researchers to interrogate DNAm levels and degree of cross-tissue correlation in user-defined locations across the genome.

Project description:Recently, several neutralizing anti-HIV antibodies have been isolated from memory B cells of HIV-infected individuals. However, despite extensive evidence of B-cell dysfunction in HIV disease, little is known about the cells from which these rare HIV-specific antibodies originate. Accordingly, HIV envelope gp140 and CD4 or co-receptor (CoR) binding site (bs) mutant probes were used to evaluate HIV-specific responses in the peripheral blood B cells of individuals at various stages of infection. In contrast to non-HIV responses, HIV-specific responses against gp140 were enriched within abnormal B cells, namely activated and exhausted memory subsets, which are largely absent in the blood of uninfected individuals. Responses against the CoRbs (a poorly-neutralizing epitope) arose early whereas those against the CD4bs (a well-characterized neutralizing epitope) were delayed and infrequent. Enrichment of the HIV-specific response within resting memory B cells, the predominant subset in uninfected individuals, did occur in certain infected individuals who maintained low levels of plasma viremia and immune activation with or without antiretroviral therapy. These findings were corroborated by transcriptional profiles. Taken together, our findings provide valuable insight into virus-specific B-cell responses in HIV infection and demonstrate that memory B-cell abnormalities may contribute to the ineffectiveness of the antibody response in infected individuals. HIV-specific responses against gp140 were enriched within abnormal B cells, namely activated (AM) and exhausted (tissue-like; TLM) memory subsets, which are largely absent in the blood of uninfected individuals. These responses are highest during the early stage of HIV infection, significantly decreased following the initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART), and most importantly, enriched in normal resting memory B cells (RM) when HIV viremia and immune activation are controlled either naturally or as a result of ART. These HIV-specific B cells (AM and TLM) and resting memory B cells (RM) were sorted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 6 HIV infected individuals. In addition, gp140-specific IgG+ B cells were sorted from individuals with either a strong (n= 6) or weak (n= 6) pro-resting memory profile. TaqMan gene expression assay was performed on these HIV-specific B cells and B cell subset. The array consisted of 29 genes.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and normal peripheral blood samples. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip v1.1 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across 482,421 CpGs in peripheral blood samples. Samples came from 17 Crohn's disease affected, 11 ulcerative colitis affected, and 20 normal individuals. Within these samples were three twin sets discordant for Crohn's disease and three twin sets discordant for ulcerative colitis.

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.

Project description:Immense phenotypic variability exists among healthy individuals which is a consequence of both genetic and environmental effects. Genome wide expression variability is a powerful tool for capturing these expression variations and hence can give insights into genotype phenotype correlations. In the ancient Indian system of medicine, of Ayurveda, the basic tenet for treatment relies on phenotypic assessment In this system, assessment of predisposition, susceptibility or prognosis for disease is based on the phenotypic assessment of the individual. Each individuals has a basic constitution which is termed as Prakriti, majorly decided by the relative concentration of three constituents called doshas - Vata (kinetic) Pitta (metabolic) and Kapha (structural) at the time of fertilization. Phenotypically, depending on the concentration the normal individuals can be classified onto 7 basic types of which 3 are more distinct and are called as Pure Prakriti and the rest of the 4 groups are of mixed types. Pure Prakriti individuals have one of the doshas in more prominence than the other. In this study individuals of Pure Prakrities have been selected for elucidation of the transcriptomic variation in peripheral whole blood cells. Keywords: Gene expression variability within healthy individuals, subgrouped on the basis of Prakriti (basic constitution of an individual based on Ayurveda)
