Avian coccidiosis is a major disease of poultry caused by the intestinal protozoa Eimeria. Aviagen line A and line B birds show differential susceptibility to Eimeria infection, with line B birds exhibiting higher lesion scores and mortality. The objective of this study was to examine differential intestinal gene expression between line A and B chicks in response to a challenge with Eimeria maxima. Following challenge with 1 x 10^4 oocysts/chick, greater than 40% of line A chicks had lesion scores of 0 to 1 (on 0 to 4 scale), similar to controls. In contrast, all line B challenged chicks at this same dose had lesion scores of 2 to 4.
An antimicrobial peptide is downregulated in the small intestine of Eimeria maxima-infected chickens.

View SamplesTo investigate the role of viral and host factors in HDV-associated HCC we carried out an integrated clinicopathological and gene expression study of tissue specimens and laser microdissected hepatocytes obtained at the time of liver transplantation from livers with HDV-HCC, HDV-cirrhosis without HCC, HCV-HCC and HBV-HCC. References to GSM series of HDV and HBV livers, already deposited in GEO, are included in this series. Part of data of HCV livers are a re-analysis of GSE series GSE69715 and GSE78737, the re-analyzed GSM is indicated in the 'description' column and with a link at the bottom of the page.

View SamplesThe molecular mechanisms whereby hepatitis B virus (HBV) induces hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain elusive. We used genomic and molecular techniques to investigate host-virus interactions by mapping the entire liver of patients with HCC. We compared the gene signature of whole liver tissue (WLT) versus laser capture-microdissected (LCM) hepatocytes with intrahepatic expression of HBV. Gene expression profiling was performed on up to 17 WLT specimens obtained at various distances from the tumor center in individual livers of 11 patients with HCC and on selected LCM samples. HBV biomarkers were determined by real-time PCR and confocal immunofluorescence. Analysis of 5 areas of the liver showed a sharp change in gene expression between the immediate perilesional area and tumor periphery that correlated with a significant decrease in the intrahepatic expression of HBsAg. The tumor was characterized by a large preponderance of down-regulated genes, mostly involved in the metabolism of lipid and fatty acid, glucose, amino acids and drugs, with down-regulation of pathways involved in the activation of PXR/RXR and PPARa/RXRa nuclear receptors, comprising PGC1 and FOXO1, two key regulators of the hepatic metabolic functions and HBV transcription. These findings were confirmed by gene expression of microdissected hepatocytes. However, LCM of malignant hepatocytes also revealed up-regulation of unique genes associated with cancer and signaling pathways, including two novel HCC-associated cancer testis antigen (CTA) genes, NUF2 and TTK. HCC-associated with HBV is characterized by a metabolism switch-off and by a significant reduction in HBsAg. LCM proved to be a critical tool to validate gene signatures associated with HCC and to identify genes that may play a role in hepatocarcinogenesis opening new perspectives for the discovery of novel diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets.
