Description
We report that the HF/HS-mediated functional enrichment of genes of immunity and inflammation is driven toward normal by the AOF supplementation Obesity may not constantly associate with metabolic disorders and mortality later in life, raising the challenging concept of healthy obesity. Here, high fat-high sucrose (HF/HS) feeding produces hyperglycaemia and hypercholesterolemia, increases oxidative stress, elevates endotoxemia, expands adipose tissue (with enlarged adipocytes, macrophage infiltration and accumulation of cholesterol and oxysterols), and reduces lifespan of obese mice. Despite persistence of obesity, supplementation with an antioxidant formulation normalizes plasma lipids and endotoxemia, prevents macrophage recruitment in adipose tissue, reduces adipose accumulation of cholesterol and cholesterol oxides, and extends lifespan. The HF/HS-mediated functional enrichment of genes of immunity and inflammation (in particular response to lipopolysaccharides) is driven towards normal by the antioxidant formulation. It is concluded that the limitation of immune cell infiltration in adipose tissue on the long term by an antioxidant formulation can increase lifespan independently of body weight and fat storage. It constitutes the hallmark of a healthy adiposity trait. Overall design: Examination of the expression profile of mice adipose tissues fed either standard (Std), High-fat/high-sucrose (HF/HS) or HF/HS + antioxidant formulation (AOF) for 180 days

Description
MicroRNAs have been demonstrated to be deregulated in multiple myeloma (MM). We have previously reported the downregulation of miR-214 in MM compared to normal plasma cells. In the present study, we have explored the functional role of miR-214 in myeloma pathogenesis. Ectopic expression of miR-214 reduced cell growth and induced apoptosis of myeloma cells. In order to identify the potential direct target genes of miR-214 which could be involved in the biological pathways regulated by this miRNA, gene expression profiling of H929 myeloma cell line transfected with precursor miR-214 was carried out. Functional analysis revealed significant enrichment for DNA replication, cell cycle phase and DNA binding. We show that miR-214 directly down-regulates the expression of PSMD10, which encodes the oncoprotein gankyrin, and ASF1B, a histone chaperone required for DNA replication, by binding to their 3'-UTR. In addition, gankyrin inhibition induced an increase of P53 mRNA levels and subsequent up-regulation in CDKN1A (p21Waf1/Cip1) and BAX transcripts, which are direct transcriptional targets of p53. In conclusion, we demonstrate that miR-214 function as a tumor suppressor in myeloma by a positive regulation of p53 and inhibition of DNA replication.

Description
Rationale: Slit2 is a possible modulator of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) - induced angiogenesis, but its effects have not been tested in large animal models. Objective: We studied the effect of Slit2 on therapeutic angiogenesis induced by VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) ligands Vammin and VEGF-D?N?C in vivo in rabbit skeletal muscles. The Slit2 target genes were also studied by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) in endothelial cells. Methods and Results: Adenoviral intramuscular gene transfers were performed into rabbit hindlimbs. Confocal and multiphoton microscopy were used for blood vessel imaging. Signaling experiments and gene expression analyses were performed to study mechanisms of Slit2 action. Slit2 decreased VEGFR2-mediated vascular permeability. It also reduced VEGFR2-mediated increase in blood perfusion and capillary enlargement, whereas sprouting of the capillaries was increased. Slit2 gene transfer alone did not have any effects on vascular functions or morphology. VEGFR2 activation was not affected by Slit2, but eNOS phosphorylation was diminished. The transcriptome profiling showed Slit2 downregulating angiogenesis-related genes such as nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1) and Stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) as well as genes related to endothelial cell migration and vascular permeability. Conclusions: Combining Slit2 with VEGFs adjusts VEGFR2-mediated angiogenic effects into a more physiological direction. This possibly allows the use of higher VEGF vector doses to achieve a more widespread vector and VEGF distribution in the target tissues leading to a better therapeutic outcome while reducing excess vascular permeability. Overall design: HUVEC mRNA profiles after adenoviral vector gene transfers in duplicate.

Description
Although information on the molecular pathogenesis of Waldenstrms Macroglobulinemia (WM) has greatly improved in recent years, the exact cellular origin and the mechanisms behind WM transformation from IgM MGUS remain undetermined. Here, we undertook an integrative phenotypic, molecular and genomic approach to study clonal B-cells from newly-diagnosed patients with IgM MGUS (n=22), smoldering (n=17), and symptomatic WM (n=10). Through principal-component-analysis of multidimensional flow cytometry data, we demonstrated overlapping phenotypic profiles between clonal B-cells from IgM MGUS, smoldering and symptomatic WM patients. Similarly, virtually no genes were significantly deregulated between FACS-sorted clonal B-cells from the three disease stages. Interestingly, while the transcriptome of the Waldenstrms clone was highly deregulated as compared to CD25-CD22+ normal B-cells, significantly less genes were differentially expressed and specific WM pathways down-regulated while comparing the transcriptome of the Waldenstrms clone vs. its normal phenotypic counterpart: CD25+CD22+dim B-cells. The frequency of specific copy number abnormalities [+4, del(6q23.3-6q25.3), +12, and +18q11-18q23] progressively increased from IgM MGUS and smoldering WM vs. symptomatic WM (18% vs. 20% and 73%, respectively; P =.008), suggesting a multistep transformation of clonal B-cells that albeit benign (i.e.: IgM MGUS and smoldering WM), already harbor the phenotypic and molecular signatures of the malignant Waldenstrms clone.

Description
Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has substantial unmet medical need and its pathogenesis is incompletely understood. This study characterized baseline gene expression and pharmacodynamic (PD)-induced changes in whole blood gene expression from two phase III, 52-week (W), randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind studies of 1,760 SLE patients treated with the B cell activating factor (BAFF)-blocking IgG4 monoclonal antibody, tabalumab. Methods: Patient samples were obtained from ILLUMINATE-1 and -2 while control samples were from healthy donors. Blood was collected in TempusTM tubes at baseline, W16 and W52. RNA was analyzed using the Affymetrix Human Transcriptome Array 2.0 and NanoStringTM. Results: At baseline there was elevation of interferon responsive genes (IRG) in patients compared to controls, with 75% positive for this IRG signature. There was, however, substantial heterogeneity of IRG expression and complex relationships among gene networks. The interferon signature was a predictor of future time to flare, independent of anti-double stranded DNA antibody (dsDNA), C3 and C4 levels, and overall disease activity. PD changes in gene expression following tabalumab treatment were extensive, occurring predominantly in B cell-related and immunoglobulin (Ig) genes, and were consistent with other PD-induced changes including dsDNA, C3, and Ig levels. Conclusions: SLE patients demonstrated elevated expression of an IRG signature, detected in 75% of the patients at baseline in ILLUMINATE-1 and -2. There was substantial heterogeneity of gene expression detected among individual patients and in gene networks. The interferon signature was an independent risk factor for future flares. PD changes in gene expression were consistent with the mechanism of BAFF blockade by tabalumab.
