Description
We have determined the whole genome sequence of an individual at high accuracy and performed an integrated analysis of omics profiles over a 1.5 year period that included healthy and two virally infected states. Omics profiling of transcriptomes, proteomes, cytokines, metabolomes and autoantibodyomes from blood components have revealed extensive, dynamic and broad changes in diverse molecular components and biological pathways that occurred during healthy and disease states. Many changes were associated with allele- and edit-specific expression at the RNA and protein levels, which may contribute to personalized responses. Importantly, genomic information was also used to predict medical risks, including Type II Diabetes (T2D), whose onset was observed during the course of our study using standard clinical tests and molecular profiles, and whose disease progression was monitored and subsequently partially managed. Our study demonstrates that longitudinal personal omics profiling can relate genomic information to global functional omics activity for physiological and medical interpretation of healthy and disease states. Overall design: Examination of blood component in 20 different time points over 1.5 years which includes 2 disease state and 18 healty state Related exome studies at: SRX083314 SRX083313 SRX083312 SRX083311

Description
We have previously demonstrated that pre-B-cell colony enhancing factor (PBEF) ais a biomarker in sepsis and sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) with genetic variants conferring ALI susceptibility118. In the current study, we explored the mechanistic participation of PBEF in ALI and ventilator-induced associated lung injury (VIALI). Initial in vitro studies and demonstrated rhPBEF aas a direct rat neutrophil chemotactic factor in vitro producing marked in vivo increases in BAL leukocytes (PMNs) in vivo following (intratracheal injection (,IT) in C57B6 mice. These latter changes were accompanied by increased BAL levels of the PMN chemoattractants (, KC and MIP2), and modest changes in lung vascular and but were not associated with significant increasesin alveolar permeability. We next explored the potential synergism between rhPBEF administration (IT) and a mechanical ventilation model of modest VILI lung injury (4 hours, 30 ml/kg tidal volume). We and observed dramatic synergistic increases in BAL PMNs, and both BAL protein and cytokine levels (IL-6, TNF-?, KC). Gene expression profiling Microarray analysis further supported a major role for PBEF in the induction of gene modules associated with ALI and VALI (NFkB pathway, leukocyte extravasation, apoptosis, toll receptor signaling). Finally, we exposed wild type and heterozygous PBEF+/- mice (targeted deletion of a single PBEF allele deletion) to a model of severe VILImechanical ventilation-induced lung injury (4 hours, 40 ml/kg tidal volume). PBEF+/- mice were significantly protected from VIALI-associated increases in BAL protein and BAL IL-6 levels and exhibited significantly reduced expression of ALI-associated gene expression modules. Together, these results indicate that PBEF is a key inflammatory mediator intimately involved in both the development and severity of ventilator-induced ALI.

Description
The perinatal period and early infancy are considered critical periods for lung development, and adversities during this period are believed to impact lung health in adulthood.The main factors affecting postnatal lung development and growth include environmental exposures, cigarette smoking, (viral) infections, allergic sensitization, and asthma.Therefore, we hypothesized that concomitant exposure in the early postnatal period in mice would cause more profound alterations in lung alveolarization and growth in adult life, quantified by stereology, and differently modulate lung inflammation and gene expression than either insult alone.Five-day-old male mice were immunized intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 10 µg of ovalbumin (OVA). This procedure was repeated at the 7th day of life, animals from the control group received i.p. injection of PBS only. Mice were exposed to either ambient PM2.5 or filtered air from the 5th to the 39th day of life, using an ambient particle concentrator developed at the Harvard School of Public Health (HAPC).Total RNA of lung samples (n=3 animals per group) was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), according to manufacturer's instructions. The microarray analysis was performed using three RNA samples for each studied group (Control, OVA, PM2.5, OVA+PM2.5), totalizing 12 samples. One hundred nanograms of total RNA was amplified with the Ambion WT Expression Kit and hybridized onto the GeneChip Mouse Gene 2.0 ST Array (Thermo Scientific, Massachusetts, USA), following manufacturer’s protocol. The comparison between the control and OVA group exhibit 32 DEGs (28 up-regulated and 4 down-regulated), between the control and PM2.5 group had 6 DEGs (4 up and 2 down) and between the control and OVA+PM2.5 group had 5 DEGs (4 up and 1 down). The comparison between OVA and PM2.5 group showed 97 DEGS (22 up and 75 down) and between OVA and OVA+PM2.5 group had 7 DEGs (4 up and 3 down). Finally, the comparison between the PM2.5 and OVA+PM2.5 group exhibit 34 DEGs (2 up and 32 down).Our experimental data provide pathological support for the hypothesis that either allergic or environmental insults in early life have permanent adverse consequences to lung growth. In addition, combined insults were associated with the development of a COPD-like phenotype in young adult mice.
