View SamplesLyme disease is challenging to diagnose, as clinical manifestations are variable and current tools to detect nucleic acid or antibody responses from Borrelia burgdorferi infection have low sensitivity. Here we conducted the first study of the global transcriptome of patients with Lyme disease to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers. Twenty-nine patients were enrolled and compared to 13 healthy controls at three time points after infection. Fifteen publicly available transcriptome datasets from patients in vivo or infection models in vitro were used to assess specificity of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). We found that Lyme disease results in profound and sustained changes in the patient transcriptomes, with a specific signature that shares =44% DEGs with other infections. Overall design: Gene expression profile from peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMC) of Lyme disease patients against healthy controls was undertaken. A total of 29 Lyme disease patients were sampled at 3 time points: acute Lyme pre-treatment (V1), 3 weeks later, immediately following completion of a standard course of antibiotics (V2), and 6 months following treatment completion (V5). 13 healthy controls were also sampled at one time point. Total RNA was extracted from 10e7 PBMC, followed by mRNA purification, paired-end barcode library preparation and sequencing on an Illumina Hiseq 2000.

View SamplesMany questions about the regulation, functional specialization, computational prediction, and evolution of genomic imprinting would be better addressed by having an exhaustive genome-wide catalog of genes that display parent-of-origin differential expression. As a first-pass scan for novel imprinted genes, we performed mRNA-seq experiments on E17.5 mouse placenta cDNA samples from reciprocal cross F1 progeny of AKR and PWD mouse strains, and quantified the allele-specific expression and the degree of parent-of-origin effect transcriptome-wide. We confirmed the imprinting status of 23 known imprinted genes in the placenta, and found that 12 genes reported previously to be imprinted in other tissues are also imprinted in mouse placenta. Through a well-replicated design using an orthogonal technology, we verified five novel imprinted genes that are not known to be imprinted in mouse. It appears that most of the strongly imprinted genes have already been identified, at least in the placenta, and that evidence supports perhaps 100 additional weakly imprinted genes. Despite previous appearance that the placenta tends to display an excess of maternally-expressed imprinted genes, when the full set of genes is uniformly scored as in this study, this maternal bias disappeared. Overall design: Examine allelic expression in E17.5 placenta tissues from two individual samples, one from each of the two reciprocal crosses.

View SamplesWe studied changes in a whole transcriptome during dsDNA virus infection. Overall design: Fibroblasts (MRC5 & HFF) and epithelial cells (ARPE19) were infected with HCMV, HSV1 or Ad5 and total RNA was isolated at 48, 9, or 24 hpi, respectively. Total 15 treatments were used. There were 2 biological replicates analyzed per each treatment.

View SamplesWe performed microarray to compare gene expression patterns of PBMC treated with rATG or hATG. Fold changes were compared using 2-way ANOVA tests for untreated, rATG- and hATG-treated PBMC. In PBMC treated with 10 ug/mL rATG, compared with untreated PBMC, 478 genes showed up-regulation, and 341 genes showed down-regulation at 24 hours using 10% FDR and 2-fold change cutoff. Immediately striking was that 10 ug/mL hATG had affected many fewer genes than did rATG: only 3 genes were up-regulated and 6 genes were down-regulated at 24 hours in hATG-treated PBMC. When we compared rATG with hATG, rATG induced up-regulation of 268 genes and down-regulation of 95 genes. These genes belong to the categories of immune response (64 genes), cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction (36 genes), regulation of cell proliferation (24 genes), cell cycle (23 genes), cell growth (8 genes), apoptosis (7 genes), and others.
