geoCancerPrognosticDatasetsRetriever: a bioinformatics tool to easily identify cancer prognostic datasets on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO)

Abbas Alameer et al.

Summary: Having multiple datasets is crucial for robust bioinformatics analyses, and using GEO to collect prognostic datasets of a specific cancer type can be time-consuming. Our tool, geoCancerPrognosticDatasetsRetriever, simplifies this process and can generate lists of cancer prognostic datasets quickly, facilitating oncology research.

Association of bacterial community types, functional microbial processes and lung disease in cystic fibrosis airways

Stefanie Widder et al.

Summary: In this study, bacterial communities in the airways of cystic fibrosis patients were analyzed, leading to the identification of different pulmotypes which show temporal sequence patterns and significant correlations with patient clinical status. By constructing pulmotype-specific metabolic activity profiles, it was found that microbial communities within pulmotypes drive distinct community functions.

Bacterial low-abundant taxa are key determinants of a healthy airway metagenome in the early years of human life

Marie-Madlen Pust et al.

Summary: The removal of low-abundance taxa from microbial community analyses may hinder the understanding of the taxonomic and functional potential of microorganisms within the human habitat. A study using shotgun metagenomics data revealed the importance of rare species in determining the health status and the development of cystic fibrosis in children.

Sustained Coinfections with Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Cystic Fibrosis

Anthony J. Fischer et al.

Summary: Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are both abundant in sputum cultures of cystic fibrosis patients. Contrary to common assumption, there is no rapid replacement of S. aureus by P. aeruginosa. Many CF patients have long-term coinfection with these organisms.

Non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary diseases in France: an 8 years nationwide study

Nicolas Veziris et al.

Summary: The study in France found that patients with NTM-PD have many comorbidities, high mortality risk mainly driven by NTM-PD, and costly management. Only a minority of patients received antibiotic treatment, and many of those who were treated stopped their therapy prematurely. These results highlight the significant burden associated with NTM-PD and the need for improvement in NTM-PD management in France.

Entering the era of highly effective modulator therapies

Kavita Dave et al.

Summary: CFTR modulators are oral drugs that improve the function of the CFTR protein to treat cystic fibrosis, with ivacaftor as a highly effective potentiator that is available clinically worldwide. However, for common CFTR mutations like F508del, combination therapy of correctors and potentiators is required for clinical efficacy.

Multi-Omics Study of Keystone Species in a Cystic Fibrosis Microbiome

Cynthia B. Silveira et al.

Summary: Anaerobic, mucus-degrading bacteria are key species in CF microbiomes, promoting the growth of pathogens like P. aeruginosa. Targeting these bacteria with clindamycin can suppress their growth and indirectly limit the growth of P. aeruginosa by disrupting fermentation product cross-feeding. This personalized multi-omics approach improved lung function and respiratory health of the patient, supporting its potential for routine clinical diagnostics.

How Bacterial Adaptation to Cystic Fibrosis Environment Shapes Interactions Between Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus

Laura Camus et al.

Summary: Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are the two most prevalent bacteria species in the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Co-infection by the two species is common, and recent studies have shown that they are able to coexist, with this change in relationship linked to bacterial strain evolution.

Combining Ivacaftor and Intensive Antibiotics Achieves Limited Clearance of Cystic Fibrosis Infections

Samantha L. Durfey et al.

Summary: Studies show that chronic CF infections may persist despite improvements induced by CFTR modulators and aggressive antibiotic treatment. Combining CFTR modulators with intensive antibiotics may be most effective for patients with higher CFTR activity. Challenges remain in improving the health of people with CF.

Epigenetic reprogramming of airway macrophages promotes polarization and inflammation in muco-obstructive lung disease

Joschka Hey et al.

Summary: Muco-obstructive lung diseases are characterized by epigenetic alterations of airway macrophages, leading to changes in inflammatory responses and impaired phagocytosis and efferocytosis. Targeting these altered macrophages may provide therapeutic approaches to improve the condition of patients with muco-obstructive lung diseases.

One versus Many: Polymicrobial Communities and the Cystic Fibrosis Airway

Fabrice Jean-Pierre et al.

Summary: Culture-independent studies have shown that chronic lung infections in persons with cystic fibrosis involve diverse microbial communities. Interactions among these communities influence clinical outcomes, and a single community cannot fully explain the diversity of outcomes. Combining computational and experimental approaches can help enhance our understanding of microbial community function and lead to the identification of new therapeutics for polymicrobial infections.

GAUGE-Annotated Microbial Transcriptomic Data Facilitate Parallel Mining and High-Throughput Reanalysis To Form Data-Driven Hypotheses

Zhongyou Li et al.

Summary: Researchers developed an algorithm called GAUGE, which automatically annotates GEO microbial data sets, increasing the percentage of analyzable data sets from 4% to 33%. The annotations provide valuable insights and facilitate the identification of consistent patterns of differential gene expression. Additionally, they created a web interface called GAPE for reanalyzing P. aeruginosa and E. coli transcriptomic data.
