    Abstract RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become the widely preferred choice for surveying the genome-wide transcriptome complexity in many organisms. However, the broad adaptation of this methodology into the clinic still needs further evaluation of potential effect of sample preparation factors on its analytical reliability using patient samples. In this study, we examined the impact of three major sample preparation factors (i.e., cDNA library storage time, the quantity of input RNA, and cryopreservation of cell samples) on sequence biases, gene expression profiles, and enriched biological functions using RNAs isolated from primary B cell and CD4+ cell blood samples of healthy subjects. Our comprehensive comparison results suggested that different cDNA library storage time, quantity of input RNA, and cryopreservation of cell samples did not significantly alter gene transcriptional expression profiles generated by RNA-seq experiments. These findings shed new lights on the potential applications of RNA-seq technique to patient samples in a regular clinical setting.

    Abstract Background: Deleterious mutations in PRF1 result in lethal, childhood disease, familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis type 2 (FHL 2). However, not all mutations in PRF1 are deleterious and result in FHL 2. Currently, these nondeleterious mutations are being investigated in the onset of numerous disorders, such as lymphomas and diabetes. Yet, there is still an overwhelmingly large amount of PRF1 mutations that are not associated with disease.
    Methods: We conducted a post hoc analysis of the PRF1 mutations in the coding region using the recently published Exome Aggregation Consortium genomes, Leiden Open Variation Database, NCBI SNP database, and primary literature to better understand PRF1 variation in the human population.
    Results: This study catalogs 460 PRF1 mutations in the coding region, and demonstrates PRF1 is more variant then previously predicted. We identify key PRF1 mutations with high allelic frequency and are only found in certain populations. Additionally, we define PRF1 SNVs are geographically distributed.
    Conclusions: This study concludes with a novel hypothesis that nondeleterious mutation in PRF1, which decreases perforin expression and/or activity, may be an example of selective advantage in the context of environmental stressors prevalent near the equator. Our studies illustrate how perforin deficiency can be protective from injuries resulting in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption.

    Abstract Cells within tumors vary in phenotype as a result of changes in gene expression caused by a variety of mechanisms, permitting cancers to evolve under selective pressures from immune and other homeostatic processes. Earlier, we traced apparent losses in heterozygosity (LOH) of spontaneous breast tumors from first generation (F1) intercrossed mice to atypical epigenetic modifications in the structure of DNA across the tumor genomes. Here, we describe a parallel pattern of LOH in gene expression, revealed through quantitation of parental alleles across a population of clonal tumors. We found variegated patterns of LOH, based on allelic ratio outliers in hundreds of genes, enriched in regulatory pathways typically co-opted by tumors. The frequency of outliers was correlated with transcriptional repression of a large set of homozygous genes. These findings suggest stochastic losses in gene expression across the genome of tumors generate phenotypic variation among cells, allowing clonal selection during tumor development.

    Abstract Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) induces long-lasting T-cell immune responses that control but do not clear infection. Typical responses involve private T-cell clones, expressing T-cell antigen receptors (TCRs) unique to a person, and public T-cell clones with identical TCRs active in different people. Here, we report the development of a pretherapeutic immunostimulation modality against HCMV for human T cells, CD3 copotentiation, and the clonal analysis of its effects in recall assays at single-cell resolution. CD3 copotentiation of human T cells required identification of an intrinsically inert anti-CD3 Fab fragment that conditionally augmented signaling only when TCR was coengaged with antigen. When applied in recall assays, CD3 copotentiation enhanced the expansion of both public and private T-cell clones responding to autologous HLA-A2(+) antigen-presenting cells and immunodominant NLVPMVATV (NLV) peptide from HCMV pp65 protein. Interestingly, public vs private TCR expression was associated with distinct clonal expansion signatures in response to recall stimulus. This implied that besides possible differences in their generation and selection in an immune response, public and private T cells may respond differently to pharmacoimmunomodulation. Furthermore, a third clonal expansion profile was observed upon CD3 copotentiation of T-cell clones from HLA-A2(-) donors and 1 HLA-A2(+) presumed-uninfected donor, where NLV was of low intrinsic potency. We conclude that human T-cell copotentiation can increase the expansion of different classes of T-cell clones responding to recall antigens of different strengths, and this may be exploitable for therapeutic development against chronic, persistent infections such as HCMV.

    Abstract Extension of overlapping gene segments by PCR is a simple, versatile technique for site-directed mutagenesis and gene splicing. Initial PCRs generate overlapping gene segments that are then used as template DNA for another PCR to create a full-length product. Internal primers generate overlapping, complementary 3' ends on the intermediate segments and introduce nucleotide substitutions, insertions or deletions for site-directed mutagenesis, or for gene splicing, encode the nucleotides found at the junction of adjoining gene segments. Overlapping strands of these intermediate products hybridize at this 3' region in a subsequent PCR and are extended to generate the full-length product amplified by flanking primers that can include restriction enzyme sites for inserting the product into an expression vector for cloning purposes. The highly efficient generation of mutant or chimeric genes by this method can easily be accomplished with standard laboratory reagents in approximately 1 week.
