Diagnostic Host Gene Expression Analysis by Quantitative Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification to Discriminate between Bacterial and Viral Infections.

BACKGROUND: Early and accurate diagnosis of acute infections can help minimize the overprescription of antibiotics and improve patient outcomes. Discrimination between bacterial and viral etiologies in acute infection based on changes in host gene expression has been described. Unfortunately, establ...

      ab: BACKGROUND: Early and accurate diagnosis of acute infections can help minimize the overprescription of antibiotics and improve patient outcomes. Discrimination between bacterial and viral etiologies in acute infection based on changes in host gene expression has been described. Unfortunately, established technologies used for gene expression profiling are typically expensive and slow, confounding integration into clinical workflows. Here we report the development of an ultra-rapid test system for host gene expression profiling from blood based on quantitative reverse transcription followed by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (qRT-LAMP). METHODS: We developed 10 messenger ribonucleic acidspecific assays based on qRT-LAMP targeting 7 informative biomarkers to discriminate viral from bacterial infections and 3 housekeeping reference genes. We optimized qRTLAMP formulations to achieve a turnaround time of 12 min without sacrificing specificity or precision. The accuracy of the test system was verified utilizing blood samples from 57 patients and comparing qRT-LAMP results to profiles obtained using an orthogonal reference technology. RESULTS: We observed a Pearson coefficient of 0.90 between bacterial/viral metascores generated by qRT-LAMP and the reference technology. CONCLUSIONS: qRT-LAMP assays can provide sufficiently accurate gene expression profiling data to enable discrimination between bacterial and viral etiologies using an established set of biomarkers and a classification algorithm.
