View SamplesTranscriptional profiles are increasingly used to investigate the severity, subtype and pathogenesis of disease. We now describe whole blood RNA signatures and local and systemic immune mediator levels in a large cohort of adults hospitalised with influenza from which extensive clinical and investigational data was obtained. Signatures reflecting interferon-related antiviral pathways were common up to day 4 of symptoms in cases not requiring mechanical ventilatory support; in those needing mechanical ventilation, an inflammatory, activated neutrophil and cell stress/death (bacterial) pattern was seen, even early after disease onset. Identifiable bacterial co-infection was not necessary for this bacterial signature but could enhance its development while attenuating the early viral signature. Our findings emphasise the importance of timing and severity in the interpretation of transcriptomic profiles and soluble mediator levels, and identify specific patterns of immune activation that may enable the development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics

View SamplesChanges in the respiratory microbiome are associated with disease progression in Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The role of the host response to the respiratory microbiome however remains unknown. The role of this study is to explore the host-microbial interaction in IPF. Network analysis of gene expression data identified two gene modules that strongly associate with a diagnosis of IPF, BAL bacterial burden (determined by 16S quantitative PCR) and specific microbial OTUs, as well as lavage and peripheral blood neutrophilia. Genes within these modules that are involved in the host defence response include NLRC4, PGLYRP1, MMP9, DEFA4. The modules also contain two genes encoding specific antimicrobial peptides (SLPI and CAMP). Many of these particular transcripts were associated with survival and showed longitudinal over expression in subjects experiencing disease progression, further strengthening their relationship with disease. Integrated analysis of the host transcriptome and microbial signatures demonstrates an apparent host response to the presence of an altered or more abundant microbiome. These responses remain elevated on longitudinal follow up, suggesting that the bacterial communities of the lower airways may be acting as persistent stimuli for repetitive alveolar injury in IPF.
