Lyme • Hot topic on Long Island with many outstanding issues in both adults and children • Open study: Profiling The Humoral Response To B Burgdorferi Infection And Development Of A Serodiagnostic Test • have sequenced the genomes of 22 strains of Borreliaburgdorferi • we have cloned, expressed and purified over 500 recombinant proteins that have certain characteristics indicative of their antigenicity. • need to identify antigens that may be useful in the development of a highly sensitive and specific test • Bioengineering multiprotein polypeptides utilizing sequences from 30 important proteins in order to make such a test feasible.
Epigenetic Link Between PTSD & Respiratory Disease • Objective is to explicate the genetic mechanisms linking PTSD and lower respiratory symptoms • NIOSH/CDC: U01 OH010416-01 • Started September 2012 • PI: Benjamin J. Luft, MD • Co-I: Evelyn Bromet, PhD, Adam Gonzalez, PhD, Roman Kotov, PhD • Collaborators: S. Galea, K. Koenen, G. Guffanti, S. Southwick, W.R. McCombie
Background & Rationale • PTSD and respiratory disease are comorbid in WTC responders (Luft et al., 2012) • Our prospective work indicates PTSD at V1 predicts onset and remission of respiratory sxs at V2 • Epigenetics is a promising technique to examine mechanisms • Uddin et al. 2010: Community residents with a hx of PTSD had a distinct biosignature reflecting immune activation and markers indicating a compromised immune system compared to trauma-exposed residents without PTSD • Results replicated by Smith et al. 2011
Specific Aims • To determine and compare the methylation pattern of the peripheral blood DNA of patients with WTC-PTSD, patients who never developed PTSD, and a non-traumatized healthy control group. • To determine whether the methylation patterns observed in the WTC cohort are similar for patients with chronic WTC-PTSD and those with PTSD in remission. • To examine differences in methylation patterns among WTC responders with • comorbid WTC-PTSD and respiratory illness, • only respiratory illness, • only WTC-PTSD, and • neither respiratory illness nor WTC-PTSD.
Progress • Ongoing clinical interviews and blood sample collection at Stony Brook University WTC Health Program • Database creation • Quality assurance checks for phenotypic data • Data analysis of 239 cases
