    Abstract Diseases caused by henipaviruses feature incubation periods of up to 16 days, during which infected animals may show no apparent signs of disease yet be capable of transmitting the virus to humans. This risk has prompted research into host-derived biomarkers for early disease detection. Here, we describe a methodology for the assaying of host microRNAs (miRs), small non-coding RNAs that show promise as biomarkers for several human diseases and are responsive during early-stage henipavirus infection. In addition to their potential as disease biomarkers, miRNA profiling of henipavirus infections provides insight into cellular and immune pathways associated with disease pathogenesis.

    Abstract Host biomarkers are increasingly being considered as tools for improved COVID-19 detection and prognosis. We recently profiled circulating host-encoded microRNA (miRNAs) during SARS-CoV-2 infection, revealing a signature that classified COVID-19 cases with 99.9% accuracy. Here we sought to develop a signature suited for clinical application by analyzing specimens collected using minimally invasive procedures. Eight miRNAs displayed altered expression in anterior nasal tissues from COVID-19 patients, with miR-142-3p, a negative regulator of interleukin-6 (IL-6) production, the most strongly upregulated. Supervised machine learning analysis revealed that a three-miRNA signature (miR-30c-2-3p, miR-628-3p and miR-93-5p) independently classifies COVID-19 cases with 100% accuracy. This study further defines the host miRNA response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and identifies candidate biomarkers for improved COVID-19 detection.

    Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a vascular complication of diabetes that can lead to partial or complete loss of vision. Early detection and treatment of DR can prevent blindness. Regular clinical examination is recommended for DR diagnosis; however, it is not always possible or feasible due to limited resources, expertise, time, and infrastructure. Several clinical and molecular biomarkers are proposed for the prediction of DR including microRNAs. MicroRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs that are found in biofluids and can be measured using reliable and sensitive methods. The most commonly used biofluid for microRNA profiling is plasma or serum; however, tear fluid (tears) is also demonstrated to contain microRNAs. MicroRNAs isolated from tears present a non-invasive source for DR detection. Different methods of microRNA profiling are available including digital PCR-based methods that can detect up to a single copy of microRNA in the biofluids. Here, we describe microRNA isolation from tears using manual method as well as using a high-throughput automated platform followed by microRNA profiling using digital PCR system.

    Abstract Vibrio cholerae, the cause of human cholera, is an aquatic bacterium found in association with a variety of animals in the environment, including many teleost fish species. V. cholerae infection induces a proinflammatory response followed by a noninflammatory convalescent phase. Neutrophils are integral to this early immune response. However, the relationship between the neutrophil-associated protein calprotectin and V. cholerae has not been investigated, nor have the effects of limiting transition metals on V. cholerae growth. Zebrafish are useful as a natural V. cholerae model as the entire infectious cycle can be recapitulated in the presence of an intact intestinal microbiome and mature immune responses. Here, we demonstrate that zebrafish produce a significant neutrophil, interleukin 8 (IL-8), and calprotectin response following V. cholerae infection. Bacterial growth was completely inhibited by purified calprotectin protein or the chemical chelator

This neurotropic virus is deft at avoiding the immune system while travelling through neurons to the brain.

    Abstract Despite increasing efforts to better understand sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY), asexual youth remain understudied. This study examines differences in health, family support, and school safety among asexual youth (n = 938) from a national study of SGMY (N = 17,112) ages 13-17. Compared to non-asexual youth, asexual youth were more likely to identify as transgender and report a disability, and less likely to identify as Black or Hispanic/Latino. Transgender (versus cisgender) asexual youth fared worse on most study outcomes. Cisgender asexual (versus cisgender non-asexual) youth fared worse on all study outcomes. Transgender asexual (versus transgender non-asexual) youth reported lower sexuality-related family support. These findings underscore the role of gender identity in understanding the experiences of asexual youth.

    Abstract In the pursuit of improved diagnostic tests for infectious diseases, several classes of molecules have been scrutinized as prospective biomarkers. Small (18-22 nucleotide), non-coding RNA transcripts called microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising candidates with extensive diagnostic potential, due to their role in numerous diseases, previously established methods for quantitation and their stability within biofluids. Despite efforts to identify, characterize and apply miRNA signatures as diagnostic markers in a range of non-infectious diseases, their application in infectious disease has advanced relatively slowly. Here, we outline the benefits that miRNA biomarkers offer to the diagnosis, management, and treatment of infectious diseases. Investigation of these novel biomarkers could advance the use of personalized medicine in infectious disease treatment, which raises important considerations for validating their use as diagnostic or prognostic markers. Finally, we discuss new and emerging miRNA detection platforms, with a focus on rapid, point-of-care testing, to evaluate the benefits and obstacles of miRNA biomarkers for infectious disease.

    Abstract Rabies is a zoonotic neurological infection caused by lyssavirus that continues to result in devastating loss of human life. Many aspects of rabies pathogenesis in human neurons are not well understood. Lack of appropriate ex-vivo models for studying rabies infection in human neurons has contributed to this knowledge gap. In this study, we utilize advances in stem cell technology to characterize rabies infection in human stem cell-derived neurons. We show key cellular features of rabies infection in our human neural cultures, including upregulation of inflammatory chemokines, lack of neuronal apoptosis, and axonal transmission of viruses in neuronal networks. In addition, we highlight specific differences in cellular pathogenesis between laboratory-adapted and field strain lyssavirus. This study therefore defines the first stem cell-derived ex-vivo model system to study rabies pathogenesis in human neurons. This new model system demonstrates the potential for enabling an increased understanding of molecular mechanisms in human rabies, which could lead to improved control methods.
