Currently, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is utilized in hospitals for VAP 42 diagnosis and guiding treatment options. While BAL collection procedures are invasive, 43 alternatives such as endotracheal aspirates (ETA) may be of diagnostic value, however, their utility 44 has not been thoroughly explored. Longitudinal ETA and BAL were collected from 16 intubated 45 patients up to 15 days, of which 11 developed VAP. We conducted a comprehensive LC-MS/MS 46 based proteome and metabolome characterization of longitudinal ETA and BAL to detect host and 47 pathogen responses to VAP infection. We discovered a diverse ETA proteome of the upper airways 48 reflective of a rich and dynamic host-microbe interface. Prior to VAP diagnosis by microbial 49 cultures from BAL, patient ETA presented characteristic signatures of reactive oxygen species and 50 neutrophil degranulation, indicative of neutrophil mediated pathogen processing as a key host 51 response to the VAP infection. Along with an increase in amino acids, this is suggestive of 52 extracellular membrane degradation resulting from proteolytic activity of neutrophil proteases. 53 Days prior to VAP diagnosis, detection of pathogen peptides with species level specificity in ETA 54 may increase specificity over culture-based diagnosis. Our findings suggest that ETA may provide 55 early mechanistic insights into host-pathogen interactions associated with VAP infection and 56 therefore facilitate its diagnosis and treatment. 57 3 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.01.08.899294; this version posted January 9, 2020.

It occurs 48 hours after mechanical ventilation and accounts for more than 62 300,000 cases annually in the US. (1, 2). Mechanical ventilation can injure tracheal epithelia, and 63 promote environmental microbial colonization and migration from the upper to lower airways (3). 64 All ICU patients with prolonged hospitalization are at high risk of developing VAP, increasing the 65 cost of hospital stay by $40,000 to $50,000 per patient (3-5). VAP diagnosis is largely based on 66 clinical criteria such as fever, infiltrate on chest radiograph, leukocyte counts, and positive cultures 67 from bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL) (2, 6). With trauma patients, these symptoms are often non- 68 specific and lead to overestimation of true VAP episodes resulting in the prescription of inadequate 69 broad-spectrum antibiotics (6, 7). A study involving 300 U.S. hospitals showed a 52% increase in 70 antibiotic consumption rate in intensive care unit (ICU) compared to non-critical care (8). In 71 addition, VAP accounts for over half of the antibiotics used in the ICU which may lead to multi- 72 drug resistance (9). Culture-based testing can reduce antibiotic misuse, but it is time-consuming 73 and can delay diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, careful investigation of VAP pathogenesis is 74 required to better understand host response to microbial dysbiosis and provide insights into the 75 molecular mechanisms underlying the progression of infection. 76 Previous studies have proposed several candidate biomarkers (interleukin-1β, interleukin-8, 77 soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells type 1, C-reactive protein (CRP), 78 procalcitonin, and the mid-region fragment of pro-adrenomedullin) to assist VAP diagnosis in 79 serum, plasma or BAL (10-13). Of these, interleukin-1β and interleukin-8 have been successfully 80 validated in VAP diagnosis (13). Also, most of these proteins are inflammation markers and have 4 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.01.08.899294; this version posted January 9, 2020.

This raises potential 82 issues of misdiagnosis and emphasizes the need for further research on specific VAP biomarkers. 83 BAL has been a widely accepted matrix to study pulmonary infections (15, 16). Many studies have 84 demonstrated the utility of BAL for microbial culture, 16S rDNA analysis and determining host- 85 response against VAP infection (16-19). Endotracheal aspirate (ETA) is regarded as a source for 86 non-invasive respiratory sampling and recently has been recommended for semi quantitative 87 cultures in VAP diagnosis (20). However, the molecular composition of ETA has not been 88 explored as extensively as BAL to understand host responses to infection. We hypothesize that 89 reduced invasiveness involved in ETA sampling is permissive to more frequent longitudinal 90 molecular snapshots of host immune response and changes to microbial flora during early 91 infection. We anticipate that this enhanced granularity provides valuable mechanistic insights into 92 VAP pathogenesis. We used a multi-disciplinary approach integrating proteomics and quantitative 93 metabolomics on longitudinal ETA and matched BAL collected from intubated patients for this 94 study. 95 Experimental Procedures 96 Chemicals 97 Chemicals and solvents were procured from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Lois, MO) or Fisher Scientific 98 (San Jose, CA) unless otherwise stated.

No large-scale survey on HPFH/δβ-thalassemia in southern China has been reported to date. The purpose of this study was to examine the molecular epidemiology and hematologic characteristics of these disorders in Guangzhou, the largest city in Southern China, to offer advice for thalassemia screening programs and genetic counseling. Methods: A total of 125,661 couples participated in pregestational thalassemia screening. 654 subjects with fetal hemoglobin (HbF) level ≥ 5% were selected for further investigation. Gap-PCR combined with Multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was used to screen for β-globin gene cluster deletions. Gene sequencing for the promoter region of HBG1 /HBG2 gene was performed for all those subjects. Results: A total of 654 individuals had hemoglobin (HbF) levels≥5, and 0.12% of the couples were found to be heterozygous for HPFH/δβ-thalassemia, including Chinese Gγ (Aγδβ)0-thal, Southeast Asia HPFH (SEA-HPFH), Taiwanese deletion and Hb Lepore–Boston–Washington. The highest prevalence was observed in the Huadu district and the lowest in the Nansha district. Three cases were identified as carrying β-globin gene cluster deletions, which had not been previously reported.

In recent years, several studies have linked oxidative stress Recent evidence suggests that lower expression of PRDXs (OS) to thyroid cancer (1-3). The thyroid gland itself gener- correlates with cancer progression in colorectal cancer (CRC) ates reactive radical molecules, through the process of iodine or in esophageal squamous carcinoma. In the thyroid, increased metabolism and thyroid hormone synthesis. During this process, levels of PRDX1 has been described in follicular adenomas TSH stimulates H2O2 production, which is the substrate of and carcinomas, as well as in thyroiditis, while reduced levels thyroperoxidase (TPO) on the apical membrane of the thyroid of PRDX6 has been found in follicular adenomas. We studied follicular cells (4). Therefore, thyrocytes need protective the expression of PRDX1 and PRDX6, in a series of thyroid mechanisms that limit the oxidative damage of H2O2 produc- tissue samples, covering different thyroid diseases, including tion by catalase, gluthatione peroxidases and peroxiredoxins 13 papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs).

Received 2 June 2017; Revised 1 August 2017; Accepted 11 September 2017 Abstract Cellular response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) includes both reversible redox signaling and irreversible nonenzymatic reactions which depend on the nature and concentration of the ROS involved. Changes in thiol/disulfide pairs affect protein conformation, enzymatic activity, ligand binding, and protein–protein interactions. During spermatogenesis and epididymal maturation, there are ROS-dependent modifications of the sperm chromatin and flagellar proteins.The sperma- tozoon is regulated by redox mechanisms to acquire fertilizing ability. For this purpose, controlled amounts of ROS are necessary to assure sperm activation (motility and capacitation).
