Project description:The obligate intracellular bacterium, Ehrlichia ruminantium (ER) is the causal agent of Heartwater, a fatal disease in ruminants. It is transmitted by ticks of the genus Amblyomma. Here, we report the genomic comparative and the global transcriptional profile of 4 strains of ER, Gardel and Senegal, two distant virulent strains with their corresponding attenuated strains. Our results showed a higher metabolic activity in attenuated strains compared to virulent strains, suggesting a better adaptation in vitro of attenuated strains to the host cells. There was a strong modification of membrane protein encoding genes expression for the 4 strains. A major over-expression of map1-related genes was observed for virulent strains, whereas attenuated strains over-expressed genes encoding for hypothetical membrane proteins. This result suggests that in vivo, MAP-1 related proteins could induce non-protective immune responses for virulent strains. For the attenuated strains, the lack of expression of map1-related genes and over-expression of other membrane proteins encoding genes could be important in induction of efficient immune responses.The diminution of expression of many genes in attenuated Senegal was caused by severe mutation. One of them, the gene recO is involved in DNA repair and its mutation could explain the higher proportion of mutated genes in attenuated Senegal, inducing the faster attenuation of Senegal compared to Gardel.

Project description:In this study, a whole-genome CombiMatrix Custom oligonucleotide tiling microarray with 90000 probes covering six sequenced Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) genomes was designed and utilized for comparative genomic profiling of eight unsequenced strains isolated from patients with different gastroduodenal diseases in Heilongjiang province of China. Since significant genomic variation were found among these strains, an additional 76 H. pylori stains with different clinical outcomes isolated from various provinces of China were further tested by PCR to demonstrate this distinction. We observed several highly variable regions among strains of gastritis, gastric ulceration and gastric cancer. They are involved in genes associated with bacterial type I, type II and type III R-M system as well as in a virB gene neighboring the well studied cag pathogenic island. Previous studies have reported the diverse genetic characterization of this pathogenic island, but it is conserved in the strains tested by microarray in this study. Moreover, a number of genes involved in the type IV secretion system related to DNA horizontal transfer between H. pylori strains were identified based on the comparative analysis of the strain specific genes. These findings may provide new insights for discovering biomarkers for prediction of gastric diseases.

Project description:Background: Distinguishing between bacterial and viral lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in hospitalized patients remains challenging. Transcriptional profiling is a promising tool for improving diagnosis in LRTI. Methods: We performed whole blood transcriptional analysis in a cohort of 118 adult patients (median [IQR] age, 61 [50-76] years) hospitalized with bacterial, viral or viral-bacterial LRTI, and 40 age-matched healthy controls (60 [46-70] years). We applied class comparisons, modular analysis and class prediction algorithms to identify distinct biosignatures for bacterial and viral LRTI, which were validated in an independent group of patients. Results: Patients were classified as bacterial (B, n=22), viral (V, n=71) and bacterial-viral LRTI (BV, n=25) based on comprehensive microbiologic testing. Compared with healthy controls statistical group comparisons (p<0.01; with multiple test corrections) identified 3,376 differentially expressed genes in patients with B-LRTI; 2,391 in V-LRTI, and 2,628 in BV-LRTI. Independent of etiologic pathogen, patients with LRTI demonstrated overexpression of innate immunity and underexpression of adaptive immunity genes. Patients with B-LRTI showed significant overexpression of inflammation (B>BV>V) and neutrophils (B>BV>V) while those with V-LRTI displayed significantly greater overexpression of interferon genes (V>BV>B). The K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) algorithm identified 10 classifier genes that discriminated patients with bacterial vs viral LRTI with 97% [95%CI: 84-100] sensitivity and 92% [77-98] specificity. In comparison, procalcitonin classified bacterial vs viral LRTI with 38% [18-62] sensitivity and 91% [76-98] specificity. Conclusions: Transcriptional profiling can be used as a helpful tool for the diagnosis of adults hospitalized with LRTI. 158 samples, no replicates; bacterial LRTI n=22, viral LRTI n=71, bacterial-viral coinfections n=25, and healthy controls n=40

Since significant genomic variation were found among these strains, an additional 76 H. pylori stains with different clinical outcomes isolated from various provinces of China were further tested by PCR to demonstrate this distinction. We observed several highly variable regions among strains of gastritis, gastric ulceration and gastric cancer.

Previous studies have reported the diverse genetic characterization of this pathogenic island, but it is conserved in the strains tested by microarray in this study. Moreover, a number of genes involved in the type IV secretion system related to DNA horizontal transfer between H. pylori strains were identified based on the comparative analysis of the strain specific genes. These findings may provide new insights for discovering biomarkers for prediction of gastric diseases. Here we describe the design and use of a high-density oligonucleotide microarray covering six sequenced H. pylori genomes as well as several sequenced plasmids. The performance of this microarray is evaluated, and its utility is illustrated for the hybridization of genomic DNA in order to compare eight uncharacterized H. pylori strains which have not been sequenced with the six known, sequenced strains. We utilize this microarray to identify variable genomic region among H. pylori strains isolated from patients with different gastroduodenal diseases in a Chinese patient population. H. pylori isolates from 2 patients with chronic superficial gastritis, 2 patients with atrophic gastritis, 2 patients with gastric ulcer, and 2 patients with gastric cancer were studied. All eight strains were isolated from Heilongjiang province of China. A number of variable regions with high genetic diversity was identified. 26 selected genes were validated by large scale PCR in both microarray tested strains while an additional 76 strains were isolated from eight provinces.
