Project description:NGS survey of asymptomatic individuals with H. pylori stomach infections

Project description:Helicobacter pylori colonization of the gastric niche can persist for years in asymptomatic individuals. To deeply characterize the host-microbiota environment in H. pylori-infected (HPI) stomachs, we collected human gastric tissues and performed metagenomic sequencing, single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq), flow cytometry, and fluorescent microscopy. HPI asymptomatic individuals had dramatic changes in the composition of gastric microbiome and immune cells compared with noninfected individuals. Metagenomic analysis uncovered pathway alterations related to metabolism and immune response. scRNA-Seq and flow cytometry data revealed that, in contrast to murine stomachs, ILC2s are virtually absent in the human gastric mucosa, whereas ILC3s are the dominant population. Specifically, proportion of NKp44+ ILC3s out of total ILCs were highly increased in the gastric mucosa of asymptomatic HPI individuals, and correlated with the abundance of selected microbial taxa. In addition, CD11c+ myeloid cells and activated CD4+ T cells and B cells were expanded in HPI individuals. B cells of HPI individuals acquired an activated phenotype and progressed into a highly proliferating germinal-center stage and plasmablast maturation, which correlated with the presence of tertiary lymphoid structures within the gastric lamina propria. Our study provides a comprehensive atlas of the gastric mucosa-associated microbiome and immune cell landscape when comparing asymptomatic HPI and uninfected individuals.

Project description:Chronic infection of the human stomach with Helicobacter pylori leads to a variety of pathologic sequelae including peptic ulcer and gastric cancer, resulting in significant human morbidity and mortality. Several genes have been implicated in disease related to H. pylori infection including the vacuolating cytotoxin and the cag pathogenicity island. Other factors important for establishment and maintenance of infection include urease enzyme production, motility, iron uptake and stress response. We utilized a C57BL/6 mouse infection model to query a collection of 2400 transposon mutants in two different bacterial strain backgrounds for H. pylori genetic loci contributing to colonization of the stomach. Microarray based tracking of transposon mutants allowed us to monitor the behavior of transposon insertions in 758 different gene loci. Of the loci measured 223 (29%) had a predicted colonization defect. These include previously described H. pylori virulence genes, genes implicated in virulence in other pathogenic bacteria and 81 hypothetical proteins. We have retested 10 previously uncharacterized candidate colonization gene loci by making independent null alleles and confirmed their colonization phenotype using competition experiments and determination of the dose required for 50% infection. Of the genetic loci retested, 60% have strain specific colonization defects while 40% had phenotypes in both strain backgrounds for infection, highlighting the profound effect of H. pylori strain variation on the pathogenic potential of this organism. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 infection ranges from asymptomatic to severe with lingering symptomatology in some. This prompted investigation of whether or not asymptomatic disease results in measurable immune activation post-infection. Immune activation following asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection was characterized through a comparative investigation of the immune cell transcriptomes from 43 asymptomatic seropositive and 52 highly exposed seronegative individuals from the same community four to six weeks following a superspreading event. Few of the 95 individuals had underlying health issues. One seropositive individual reported Cystic Fibrosis and one individual reported Incontinentia pigmenti. No evidence of immune activation was found in asymptomatic seropositive individuals with the exception of the Cystic Fibrosis patient. There were no statistically significant differences in immune transcriptomes between asymptomatic seropositive and highly exposed seronegative individuals. Four positive controls, mildly symptomatic seropositive individuals whose blood was examined three weeks following infection, showed immune activation. Negative controls were four seronegative individuals from neighboring communities without COVID19. All individuals remained in their usual state of health through a five-month follow-up after sample collection. In summary, whole blood transcriptomes identified individual immune profiles within a community population and showed that asymptomatic infection within a super-spreading event was not associated with enduring immunological activation.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori colonizes the stomach of half of the world's population, causing a wide spectrum of disease ranging from asymptomatic gastritis to ulcers to gastric cancer. Although the basis for these diverse clinical outcomes is not understood, more severe disease is associated with strains harboring a pathogenicity island. To characterize the genetic diversity of more and less virulent strains, we examined the genomic content of 15 H. pylori clinical isolates by using a whole genome H. pylori DNA microarray. We found that a full 22% of H. pylori genes are dispensable in one or more strains, thus defining a minimal functional core of 1281 H. pylori genes. While the core genes encode most metabolic and cellular processes, the strain-specific genes include genes unique to H. pylori, restriction modification genes, transposases, and genes encoding cell surface proteins, which may aid the bacteria under specific circumstances during their long-term infection of genetically diverse hosts. We observed distinct patterns of the strain-specific gene distribution along the chromosome, which may result from different mechanisms of gene acquisition and loss. Among the strain-specific genes, we have found a class of candidate virulence genes identified by their coinheritance with the pathogenicity island. Keywords: other

Project description:Dengue represents one of the most serious life-threatening vector-borne infectious diseases that afflict ~50 million people across the globe annually. Whilst symptomatic infections are frequently reported, asymptomatic dengue largely remain unnoticed. The immune correlates conferring protection to individuals that remain clinically asymptomatic have seldom been investigated. We determined the gene expression profiles of host immune factors in individuals with asymptomatic infections, and whose cognate household members showed symptoms and signs consistent to clinical dengue infection. Results provide insight in association of certain host genes to protection against clinical dengue.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of pathogen in humans that has infected nearly half of the population worldwide. Infections with H. pylori are typically associated with chronic gastritis and may even lead to gastric and duodenal ulcers and stomach cancer. While the mechanisms behind persistent colonization by H. pylori and the development of gastritis associated with it remain unclear, it is generally believed that the gastric epithelial cells (GECs) modulated by H. pylori in the gastric mucosa play a crucial role. We extensively studied the global gene expression patterns in H. pylori-infected AGS cells, a line of gastric epithelial cells, and identified genes that show increased expression upon infection with H. pylori.

Whilst symptomatic infections are frequently reported, asymptomatic dengue largely remain unnoticed. The immune correlates conferring protection to individuals that remain clinically asymptomatic have seldom been investigated. We determined the gene expression profiles of host immune factors in individuals with asymptomatic infections, and whose cognate household members showed symptoms and signs consistent to clinical dengue infection. Results provide insight in association of certain host genes to protection against clinical dengue. Blood samples were collected from Dengue Fever (DF) and Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) patients in Malaysia who were admitted to university of Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Ampang Hospital (AmpangHospital), and Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah (HTAR) Klang. Blood from their asymptomatic household members were also collected. Their peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated. 29 sample pairs (SP) of dengue patients and their accompanying asymptomatic household members were chosen on the following basis for two-channel microarray experiments: patients who have shown positive results for DENV infection with at least 2 diagnostics tests indicating positivity. Positive results for the IgM-captured ELISA were P/N ratio more than 2.0, while total antibody titer of more than 1:2560 or 4 fold increase from acute to convalescence phase was considered positive in HI assay. PRNT, a neutralization test, was used as a measure for levels of neutralizing antibodies and was considered high when it was more than 1:640, based on a reduction neutralization of 50%.
