Project description:HIV-infected long-term non-progressors (LTNPs) are a special group of people who can naturally control HIV and maintain good host immunity. Their mechanism is related to viruses, host genetic characteristics, immune response and other factors, but the relationship between the activation level of innate immunity and long-term non-progression is not clear. Therefore,we hypothesize that LTNPs may have some founction to control the HIV replication in vivo.In this study, we used RNA-seq to investigate the transcription（lncRNA, miRNA and mRNA) profiles of LTNPs and typical progressors (TPs).This study is showing expression spectrum of mRNA and non-coding RNA between HIV-infected long-term non-progressors and typical progressors, and analyze the role of mRNA,IncRNA and miRNA in the HIV infected long-term non-progression based on whole transcriptome level.This study reveals the mechanism of different disease progression between LTNPs and TPs through functional enrichment analysis and differentially expressed genes(DEGs) analysis.
Project description:Homo sapiens fresh whole blood was infected with Candida parapsilosis. RNA-pool of both species extracted at 0min (control), 15, 30, 60, 120, 240 min. Samples are rRNA depleted. Measurement of Homo sapiens gene expression.
Project description:Homo sapiens fresh whole blood was infected with Candida glabrata. RNA-pool of both species extracted at 0min (control), 15, 30, 60, 120, 240 min. Samples are rRNA depleted. Measurement of Candida glabrata gene expression.
Project description:Homo sapiens fresh whole blood was infected with Candida tropicalis. RNA-pool of both species extracted at 0min (control), 15, 30, 60, 120, 240 min. Samples are rRNA depleted. Measurement of Candida tropicalis gene expression.
Project description:Here we studied the transcriptional profile of virus specific CD8 T cells to gain molecular insights in CD8 T cell functionality in HIV infection. HIV- and CMV-specific CD8 T cells were isolated from HIV infected individuals participating in the Amsterdam Cohort Studies (HIV progressors, long-term non-progressors (LTNP; HLA-B*57 and non-HLA-B*57) and individuals carrying the MAVS minor genotype) and CMV seropositive blood donors (BD). The transcription profile of HIV-specific CD8 T cells of LTNP groups was associated with increased protein/RNA metabolism pathways, indicating that immune control of HIV infection in these individuals is associated with increased functionality. In contrast, CMV-specific CD8 T cells from progressors showed increased expression of genes related to effector functions and suggests recent CMV reactivation. Our study provides novel insights into molecular mechanisms involved in HIV and CMV control in chronic HIV infection.
