Brochu, H. N., Smith, E., Jeong, S., Carlson, M., Hansen, S. G., Tisoncik-Go, J., … Peng, X. (2024, February 28).

By: H. Brochu n, E. Smith*, S. Jeong n, M. Carlson*, S. Hansen*, J. Tisoncik-Go*, L. Law*, L. Picker*, M. Gale*, X. Peng n

TL;DR: Findings indicate that changes in gut microbiomes are associated with RhCMV/SIV vaccine-induced protection and early host response to vaccination in rhesus macaques. (via Semantic Scholar)

Alternative splicing and genetic variation of mhc-e: implications for rhesus cytomegalovirus-based vaccines

COMMUNICATIONS BIOLOGY, 5(1).

By: H. Brochu n, R. Wang*, T. Tollison n, C. Pyo*, A. Thomas*, E. Tseng*, L. Law*, L. Picker* ...

MeSH headings : Animals; Humans; Alternative Splicing; Cytomegalovirus; Cytomegalovirus Vaccines; Genetic Variation; Macaca mulatta; Simian Immunodeficiency Virus; Histocompatibility Antigens Class I / genetics
TL;DR: Using long-read sequencing, 16 Mamu-E isoforms were identified and all MamU-E splicing junctions were detected among HLA-Eisoforms in humans and the presence of G2_LTR alleles was significantly associated with the lack of RhCMV/SIV vaccine protection. (via Semantic Scholar)

Phylogeny-guided microbiome OTU-specific association test (POST)

MICROBIOME, 10(1).

By: C. Huang n, B. Callahan n, M. Wu*, S. Holloway n, H. Brochu n, W. Lu n, X. Peng n, J. Tzeng n

author keywords: Association test; Phylogenetic tree; Kernel machine regression
MeSH headings : Computational Biology / methods; Computer Simulation; Female; Humans; Infant, Newborn; Microbiota / genetics; Phylogeny; Premature Birth
TL;DR: This work proposes a local collapsing test called phylogeny-guided microbiome OTU-specific association test (POST), and develops a user friendly R package POSTm, which can enhance the selection performance of associated microbiome features by improving the overall true-positive and false-positive detection.

Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha-Induced Interleukin-1 Alpha Synthesis and Cell Death Is Increased in Mouse Epithelial Cells Infected With Chlamydia muridarum

JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES, 224, S47–S55.

By: U. Nagarajan*, C. Cho*, C. Gyorke*, S. Nagarajan*, J. Ezzell*, H. Brochu n, I. Huntress n, E. Harrell n, X. Peng n

author keywords: Chlamydia muridarum; IL-1 alpha; mouse epithelial cells; mouse model; TNF alpha
MeSH headings : Animals; Cell Death; Chlamydia Infections / immunology; Chlamydia Infections / metabolism; Chlamydia muridarum / immunology; Epithelial Cells; Female; Interleukin-1alpha / immunology; Interleukin-1alpha / metabolism; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha / immunology; Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha / metabolism
TL;DR: The results suggest TNFα and IL-1α enhance each other's downstream effects resulting in a hyperinflammatory response to chlamydial infection and propose that biologics targeting TNF-induced IL- 1α synthesis could be used to mitigate tissue damage during chlamYDial infection.
