Ninety percent of patients with scrub typhus (SC) with vasculitis-like syndrome recover after mild symptoms; however, 10% can suffer serious complications, such as acute respiratory failure (ARF) and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Predictors for the progression of SC have not yet been established, and conventional scoring systems for ICU patients are insufficient to predict severity. We aimed to identify simple and robust indicators to predict aggressive behaviors of SC. We evaluated 91 patients with SC and 81 non-SC patients who were admitted to the ICU, and 32 cases from the public functional genomics data repository for gene expression analysis. We analyzed the relationships between several predictors and clinicopathological characteristics in patients with SC. We performed gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) to identify SC-specific gene sets. The acid-base imbalance (ABI), measured 24 h before serious complications, was higher in patients with SC than in non-SC patients. A high ABI was associated with an increased incidence of ARF, leading to mechanical ventilation and worse survival. GSEA revealed that SC correlated to gene sets reflecting inflammation/apoptotic response and airway inflammation. ABI can be used to indicate ARF in patients with SC and assist with early detection.

Abstract Background In this study, we demonstrate that our modified Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) method, drug perturbation GSEA (dpGSEA), can detect phenotypically relevant drug targets through a unique transcriptomic enrichment that emphasizes biological directionality of drug-derived gene sets. Results We detail our dpGSEA method and show its effectiveness in detecting specific perturbation of drugs in independent public datasets by confirming fluvastatin, paclitaxel, and rosiglitazone perturbation in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor cells. In drug discovery experiments, we found that dpGSEA was able to detect phenotypically relevant drug targets in previously published differentially expressed genes of CD4+T regulatory cells from immune responders and non-responders to antiviral therapy in HIV-infected individuals, such as those involved with virion replication, cell cycle dysfunction, and mitochondrial dysfunction. dpGSEA is publicly available at https://github.com/sxf296/drug_targeting. Conclusions dpGSEA is an approach that uniquely enriches on drug-defined gene sets while considering directionality of gene modulation. We recommend dpGSEA as an exploratory tool to screen for possible drug targeting molecules.

Abstract Objective: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most malignant tumors. Cytosolic DNA sensing have been found to play an essential role in tumor. In this study, a cytosolic DNA sensing-related genes (CDSRGs) signature was constructed and the potential mechanisms also been discussed.Methods: The RNA expression and clinical data of PC were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Subsequently, univariate (UCR) and multivariate Cox regression (MCR) analyses were conducted to establish a prognostic model in the TCGA patients, which was verified by GEO patients. Cancer immune infiltrates were investigated via single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) and Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER). Finally, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was used to investigate the related signaling pathways.Results: A prognostic model comprising four genes (POLR2E,IL18, MAVS, and FADD) was established. The survival rate of patients in the low-risk group was significantly higher than that of patients in the high-risk group. In addition, CDSRGs-risk score was proved as an independent prognostic factor in PC. Immune infiltrates and drug sensitivity are associated with POLR2E,IL18, MAVS, and FADD expression.Conclusions: In summary, we present and validated a CDSRGs risk model that is an independent prognostic factor and indicates the immune characteristics of PC. This prognostic model may facilitate the personalized treatment and monitoring.
