Abstrakt: | Purpose: Orbital inflammatory disease (OID) is a heterogeneous group of immunologic disorders whose etiology is often non-specific despite routine investigation. In this proof-of-concept study, metagenomic deep sequencing (MDS) is applied to examine host gene expression in two subtypes of OID. Methods: Prospectively collected lacrimal gland tissue from patients with OID was processed for MDS. Differential gene expression analysis was performed to evaluate for host transcriptome signatures. Proof-of-concept comparison was made between histologically confirmed samples of idiopathic dacryoadenitis and IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). Results: Twelve genes were identified to be differentially expressed between idiopathic dacryoadenitis and IgG4-RD. Differences in innate humoral immunity gene expression were observed. Several additional genes of interests were also found to be upregulated in idiopathic dacryoadenitis. Conclusions: A unique transcriptome signature was found when comparing idiopathic dacryoadenitis to IgG4-RD. This suggests that MDS can identify differentially expressed genes in OID. Such insight could potentially provide a better understanding of host gene expression and the inflammatory pathways involved in OID. |
