Project description:Ground water Arsenic (As) toxicity is a global problem and millions of people are exposed to elevated levels (more than WHO advised maximum limit of 10µg/L) through drinking water. The exposure is associated with various cancerous and non-cancerous diseases. It may alter DNA methylation profiles of inviduals and suppress the activity of various genes giving rise to different diseases. Pakistan, a developing country in South Asian region, also has reported elevated ground water As levels in various investigations since 2005. However, a very limited biomonitoring studies have been conducted in this context while no study reports molecular changes associated with drinking water As exposure in Pakistan. Within this context, the present study aimed to investigate genome-wide DNA methylation profiles of the exposed subjects in two districts of Punjab Province Pakistan, i.e Lahore and Kasur. The population was stratified into three exposure groups comprising Low, Medium and High exposure based on their urinary arsenic levels. Genome-wide DNA methylation profiles were obtained using MeDIP in combination with NimbleGen 2.1M Deluxe Promotor arrays.

Project description:Ground water Arsenic toxicity is the global problem and millions of people are exposed to elevated levels through drinking water than WHO permiscible limit of 10µg/L. The exposure is associated with various cancerous and non-cancerous diseases. It may alter the gene expression profile of invidual and suppress the activity of various genes giving rise to different diseases. Pakistan, a developing country in South Asian region, also have different areas reported to have elevated Ground water As. levels since 2005. The Present Study aimed to investigate Transcriptome profile of the exposed subjects in two districts of Punjab Province Pakistan. i.e Lahore and Kasur. The population was stratified into three exposure groups comprising Low, Medium and High exposure based on their urinary arsenic levels. We used Agilent Microarrays platform for Transcriptomics analysis and Linear mixed model was used to find differential gene expression associated with Arsenic exposure

Project description:The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues to expand globally, with case numbers rising in many areas of the world, including the Indian sub-continent. Pakistan has one of the world's largest populations, of over 200 million people and is experiencing a severe third wave of infections caused by SARS-CoV-2 that began in March 2021. In Pakistan, during the third wave until now only 12 SARS-CoV-2 genomes have been collected and among these nine are from Islamabad. This highlights the need for more genome sequencing to allow surveillance of variants in circulation. In fact, more genomes are available among travellers with a travel history from Pakistan, than from within the country itself. We thus aimed to provide a snapshot assessment of circulating lineages in Lahore and surrounding areas with a combined population of 11.1 million. Within a week of April 2021, 102 samples were sequenced. The samples were randomly collected from two hospitals with a diagnostic PCR cutoff value of less than 25 cycles. Analysis of the lineages shows that the Alpha variant of concern (first identified in the UK) dominates, accounting for 97.9 % (97/99) of cases, with the Beta variant of concern (first identified in South Africa) accounting for 2.0 % (2/99) of cases. No other lineages were observed. In depth analysis of the Alpha lineages indicated multiple separate introductions and subsequent establishment within the region. Eight samples were identical to genomes observed in Europe (seven UK, one Switzerland), indicating recent transmission. Genomes of other samples show evidence that these have evolved, indicating sustained transmission over a period of time either within Pakistan or other countries with low-density genome sequencing. Vaccines remain effective against Alpha, however, the low level of Beta against which some vaccines are less effective demonstrates the requirement for continued prospective genomic surveillance.

Project description:Here we show that TACI-S increases its expression with maturation and colocalizes in the intracellular compartment with the ligand APRIL. APRIL downregulation in human B cells, eliminated class switch. These studies suggest the importance of intracellular APRIL together with TACI-S in maintaining humoral immunity.

Project description:APRIL is involved in the development of B-cell lymphomas. However, in tumors the source of APRIL is paracrine while one signaling receptor, BCMA, is intracellular, raising the question on how APRIL may signal. In fact, tumor cells internalized APRIL via their surface HSPG. Then, APRIL trafficked into endosomes to finally interact with Golgic BCMA, whose sequence harbors strong identities with sorting nexins. Intracellular APRIL/BCMA interactions activated the canonical NF-kB pathway, and mediated from tumor cells an immunosuppressive response including IL-10 upregulation. Absence of APRIL/BCMA interactions impaired tumor growth in mice, and APRIL internalization by tumor cells correlated with a reduced survival for patients. Taken together, the present study elucidates a fully intracellular signaling pathway, key to B-cell lymphoma development.

Project description:Emerging clinical evidence points to a function for B cell activating factor (BAFF) in pregnancy. However, a direct role for BAFF-axis members including BAFF, the closely related a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), and their respective receptors in pregnancy has not been examined. This study demonstrates that loss of BAFF results in decreased inflammatory responsiveness and decreased susceptibility to inflammation-induced preterm birth (PTB). In contrast, loss of APRIL increases inflammatory responsiveness and susceptibility to PTB. Consistent with overlapping receptor utilization by BAFF and APRIL, deletion of BAFF-axis receptors is not sufficient to modify susceptibility to PTB. Critically, therapeutic administration of BAFF/APRIL monoclonal antibodies or recombinant proteins is sufficient to manipulate susceptibility to inflammation-induced PTB. Further, macrophages are identified as the principle BAFF producing immune cells at the maternal-fetal interface and BAFF and APRIL divergently manipulate macrophage gene expression and inflammatory function. Genes linked to labor initiation are upregulated in WT and APRIL deficient macrophages while downregulated in BAFF deficient macrophages and correlate with myeloid gene expression in human placental samples during labor. Thus, BAFF and APRIL play important, but divergent, counterregulatory inflammatory roles in pregnancy and provide new therapeutic targets for mitigating the risk of PTB.

Project description:APRIL (TNFSF13) is a ligand of the TNF superfamily which binds to two receptors, BCMA and TACI. We have found that APRIL and its receptor BCMA are specifically enhanced in hepatocellular carcinoma, as compared to non-cancerous liver tissue. We further identified that HepG2 cells present the same ligand/receptor pattern as human hepatocellular carcinomas. We investigated the role of APRIL in HepG2 gene expression in a time course study.

Project description:Antibody secreting cells (ASCs) survive in niche microenvironments, but cellular responses driven by particular niche signals are incompletely defined. The TNF superfamily (TNFSF) member A proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) can support the maturation of transitory plasmablasts into long-lived plasma cells. Here we explore the biological programs established by APRIL in human plasmablast. Under conditions allowing the maturation of ex vivo or in vitro generated plasmablasts, we find that APRIL drives activation of ERK, p38 and JNK, accompanied by a classical NFκB response and activation of the AKT/FOXO1 pathway. Time course gene expression data resolve co-ordinated transcriptional responses propagated via immediate early genes and NFκB targets and converging onto modules of genes enriched for MYC-targets and metabolism and cell growth related pathways. This response is shared between APRIL and an alternate TNFSF member CD40L but is not a feature of alternative niche signals delivered by IFNα or SDF1. However, APRIL and CD40L responses also diverge. CD40L drives expression of genes related to the activated B-cell state while APRIL does not. Thus, APRIL establishes a broad foundation for plasma cell longevity with features of cellular refuelling, while being uncoupled from support of the B-cell state.
