View SamplesSickle cell disease is characterized by hemolysis, vaso-occlusion and ischemia reperfusion injury. These events cause endothelial dysfunction and vasculopathies in multiple systems
Global gene expression profiling of endothelium exposed to heme reveals an organ-specific induction of cytoprotective enzymes in sickle cell disease.

View SamplesVolunteers were assessed at study entry, the day of the third vaccination and 24, 72 hours, two weeks after vaccination, and 5 days after challenge. 13/39 vaccinees were protected and 26/39 were not protected. Eleven vaccinees exhibited delayed onset of parasitemia. All infectivity controls developed parasitemia. Prediction Analysis of Microarrays (PAM-R) identified genes corresponding with protection. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) identified sets of genes associated with protection after the third immunization, before challenge.
Expression of genes associated with immunoproteasome processing of major histocompatibility complex peptides is indicative of protection with adjuvanted RTS,S malaria vaccine.
