“…Because treatment of ischemic stroke must be done quickly, development of a rapid, inexpensive and accurate blood test would be valuable. Previous work aimed at developing a stroke blood test focused either on proteins or on coding mRNAs 6, 29, 40, 41 . The current findings that lncRNA are differentially expressed in stroke vs controls, and that expression of selected lncRNA change over time following ischemic stroke, could be considered in development of future biomarker panels to differentiate ischemic stroke from intracerebral hemorrhage and stroke mimics.…”

Background and Purpose Though peripheral blood mRNA and microRNA change following ischemic stroke, any role for long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), which comprise most of the genome and have been implicated in various diseases, is unknown. Thus, we hypothesized that lncRNA expression also changes following stroke. Methods lncRNA expression was assessed in 266 whole-blood RNA samples drawn once per individual from ischemic stroke patients and matched vascular risk factor controls. Differential lncRNA expression was assessed by Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA, p-value < 0.005; fold change > |1.2|), principal components analysis and hierarchical clustering on a derivation set (n=176) and confirmed on a validation set (n=90). Post-stroke temporal lncRNA expression changes were assessed using ANCOVA with confounding factor correction (p<0.005; partial correlation with time since event >|0.4|). Because sexual dimorphism exists in stroke, analyses were performed for each sex separately. Results 299 lncRNAs were differentially expressed between stroke and control males, whereas 97 lncRNAs were differentially expressed between stroke and control females. Significant changes of lncRNA expression with time after stroke were detected for 49 lncRNAs in males and 31 lncRNAs in females. Some differentially expressed lncRNAs mapped close to genomic locations of previously identified putative stroke-risk genes, including Lipoprotein, Lp(A)-Like 2, ABO blood group, Prostaglandin 12 Synthase, and α-Adducins. Conclusions This study provides evidence of altered and sexually dimorphic lncRNA expression in peripheral blood of stroke patients compared to controls and suggests lncRNAs have potential for stroke biomarker development. Some regulated lncRNA could regulate some previously identified putative stroke-risk genes.

First translational ‘Think Tank’ on cerebrovascular disease, cognitive impairment and dementia

et al. 2016

and introduction to the workshopAs the human population continues to age, an increasing number of people will exhibit significant deficits in cognitive function and dementia. It is now recognized that cerebrovascular, metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases all play major roles in the evolution of cognitive impairment and dementia. Thus with our more recent recognition of these relationships and our need to understand and more positively impact on this world health problem, “The Leo and Anne Albert Charitable Trust” (Gene Pranzo, Trustee with significant support from Susan Brogan, Meeting Planner) provided generous support for this inaugural international workshop that was held from April 13–16, 2015 at the beautiful Ritz Carlton Golf Resort in North Naples, Florida. Researchers from SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY organized the event by selecting the present group of translationally inclined preclinical, clinical and population scientists focused on cerebrovascular disease (CVD) risk and its progression to vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and dementia. Participants at the workshop addressed important issues related to aging, cognition and dementia by: (1) sharing new data, information and perspectives that intersect vascular, metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases, (2) discussing gaps in translating population risk, clinical and preclinical information to the progression of cognitive loss, and (3) debating new approaches and methods to fill these gaps that can translate into future therapeutic interventions. Participants agreed on topics for group discussion prior to the meeting and focused on specific translational goals that included promoting better understanding of dementia mechanisms, the identification of potential therapeutic targets for intervention, and discussed/debated the potential utility of diagnostic/prognostic markers. Below summarizes the new data-presentations, concepts, novel directions and specific discussion topics addressed by this international translational team at our “First Leo and Anne Albert Charitable Trust ‘Think Tank’ VCI workshop”.

“…In this context, blood is a potentially dynamic tissue that reflects the physiological status of the animal [ 20 ]. Moreover, blood transcriptomic markers have been used to characterize vascular diseases [ 21 ], immune system responses [ 22 ], obesity status [ 23 ] and aging effects [ 24 ].…”

Environmental heat stress triggers a series of compensatory mechanisms in sheep that are dependent on their genetic regulation of thermotolerance. Our objective was to identify genes and regulatory pathways associated with thermotolerance in ewes exposed to heat stress. We performed next-generation RNA sequencing on blood collected from 16 pregnant ewes, which were grouped as tolerant and non-tolerant to heat stress according to a physiological indicator. Additional samples were collected to measure complete blood count. A total of 358 differentially expressed genes were identified after applying selection criteria. Gene expression analysis detected 46 GO terms and 52 KEGG functional pathways. The top-three signaling pathways were p53, RIG-I-like receptor and FoxO, which suggested gene participation in biological processes such as apoptosis, cell signaling and immune response to external stressors. Network analysis revealed ATM, ISG15, IRF7, MDM4, DHX58 and TGFβR1 as over-expressed genes with high regulatory potential. A co-expression network involving the immune-related genes ISG15, IRF7 and DXH58 was detected in lymphocytes and monocytes, which was consistent with hematological findings. In conclusion, transcriptomic analysis revealed a non-viral immune mechanism involving apoptosis, which is induced by external stressors and appears to play an important role in the molecular regulation of heat stress tolerance in ewes.
