Project description:The CA-MRSA- or MSSA-infected pus samples of breast abscess were collected for the followed dual-omics studies. For label-free analysis, five CAMRSA and five MSSA samples were used, followed by PRM validation of candidate biomarkers.

Project description:Perianal Fistulizing Crohn’s Disease (perianal-CD) is a debilitating form of CD typically associated with prolonged periods of morbidity. Leveraging single-cell RNA sequencing, rectal mucosal tissue was sequenced from individuals following anti-TNF biologic therapy having either active perianal-CD and inflamed rectal mucosa or healed perianal-CD but non-inflamed mucosa. Single cell transcriptomic profiles of the inflamed and non-inflamed tissue were contrasted to test for specific cellular subsets of rectal epithelial and immune cell compartments associated with inflamed perianal disease. We identified eight broad classes of epithelial, six of immune, and a small population of stromal cells in the rectal mucosa. There was an increase in colonocytes in the non-inflamed tissue compared to the inflamed tissue, and an increase of naïve b cells and plasma cells associated with inflamed tissue. The cell type proportions of immune cells, highlighted patient heterogeneity of cell type abundance and potential dysregulation of both the immune and epithelial compartment. We also note enrichment of IgG plasma cells in inflamed tissue of two donors and expansion of IgA plasma cells of non-inflamed tissue in two donors. Differential gene expression analysis of goblet cells revealed enrichment of inflammatory pathways, such as IL6 and interferon gamma signaling, in inflamed tissue. These inflammatory pathways might affect tight junctions between epithelial cells leading to increased permeability and potentially affect fistula formation. Our findings suggest dysregulation of crypt maturation during persistent inflammation and over-abundance of goblet cells and colonocyte precursors in inflamed tissue of perianal-CD.
Project description:Neutrophil abscess formation is critical in innate immunity against many pathogens. Here, the mechanism of neutrophil abscess formation was investigated using a mouse model of Staphylococcus aureus cutaneous infection. Gene expression analysis of S. aureus-infected skin revealed that induction of neutrophil recruitment genes was largely dependent upon IL-1beta/IL-1R activation. Unexpectedly, using IL 1beta reporter mice, neutrophils were identified as the primary source of IL-1beta at the site of infection. Furthermore, IL-1beta-producing neutrophils were necessary and sufficient for abscess formation and bacterial clearance. S. aureus-induced IL 1beta production by neutrophils required TLR2, NOD2, FPRs and the ASC/NLRP3 inflammasome. Taken together, IL-1beta and neutrophil abscess formation during an infection are functionally, spatially and temporally linked as a consequence of direct IL-1beta production by neutrophils.
