Illumina HumanHT-12 V4.0 expression beadchip
Description
The activated B-cell (ABC) to plasmablast transition is the cusp of antibody secreting cell (ASC) differentiation but is incompletely defined. We apply expression time-courses, parsimonious gene correlation network analysis, and ChIP-seq to explore this in human cells. The transition initiates with input signal loss leading within hours from cell growth dominant programs to enhanced proliferation, accompanied from 24h by ER-stress response, secretory optimization and upregulation of ASC features. Clustering of genomic occupancy for ASC transcription factors (TFs) IRF4, BLIMP1 and XBP1 with CTCF and histone marks defines distinct patterns for each factor in plasmablasts. Integrating TF-associated clusters and modular gene expression identifies a dichotomy: XBP1 and IRF4 significantly link to gene modules induced in plasmablasts, but not to modules of repressed genes, while BLIMP1 links to modules of ABC genes repressed in plasmablasts but is not significantly associated with modules induced in plasmablasts. Pharmacological inhibition of the G9A (EHMT2) histone-methytransferase, a BLIMP1 co-factor that catalyzes repressive H3K9me2 marks, leaves functional ASC differentiation intact but de-represses ABC-state genes. Thus, in human plasmablasts IRF4 and XBP1 emerge as the dominant association with ASC gene expression, while BLIMP1 links to repressed modules with particular focus in repression of the B-cell activation state.

Description
The unfolded protein response (UPR) and activation of XBP1 is necessary for high secretory efficiency and functional differentiation of antibody secreting cells (ASCs). The UPR additionally includes a branch in which membrane-bound transcription factors, exemplified by ATF6, undergo intramembrane-proteolysis by the sequential action of site-1 (MBTPS1/S1P) and site-2 proteases (MBTPS2/S2P) and release of the cytoplasmic domain as an active transcription factor. Such regulation is shared with a family of CREB3-related transcription factors and sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs). Of these, we identify that the CREB3 family member CREB3L2 is strongly induced and activated during the transition from B-cell to plasma cell state. Inhibition of site-1 protease leads to a profound reduction in plasmablast number linked to induction of autophagy. Plasmablasts generated in the presence of site-1 protease inhibitor segregated into CD38high and CD38low populations, the latter characterized by a marked reduction in the capacity to secrete IgG. Site-1 protease inhibition is accompanied by a distinctive change in gene expression associated with amino acid synthesis, steroid and fatty acid synthesis pathways. These result demonstrate that transcriptional control of metabolic programs necessary for secretory activity can be targeted via site-1 protease inhibition during ASC differentiation.

Site-1 protease function is essential for the generation of antibody secreting cells and reprogramming for secretory activity.

Description
Transcriptomic analysis of primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). HUVEC were treated in vitro with CoCl2 to induce hypoxia, high glucose and high glucose plus hypoxia in different intervals (1, 3, 12 hours). Subsequently, the effect of metformin (anti-diabetic drug) on all conditions was studied to take advantage of transcriptomics to prospectively explore the mechanism of this drug to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases in type II diabetic patients.

Illumina Genome Analyzer II
Description
Cumulus cells are biologically distinct from other follicular cells and perform specialized roles, transmitting signals within the ovary and supporting oocyte maturation during follicular development. The bi-directional communication between the oocyte and the surrounding cumulus cells is crucial for the acquisition of oocyte competence. Using Illumina/deep-sequencing technology, we dissected the small RNAome of pooled human mature MII oocytes and cumulus cells. Overall design: Cumulus cells and MII mature oocytes small RNA profiles were generated by deep-sequencing, using Illumina 1G sequencer

- Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array (rat2302)
Description
Salt loading (SL) and water deprivation (WD) are experimental challenges that are often used to study the osmotic circuitry of the brain. Central to this circuit is the supraoptic nucleus (SON) of the hypothalamus, which is responsible for the biosynthesis of the hormones, vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXT), and their transport to terminals that reside in the posterior lobe of the pituitary. Upon osmotic challenge evoked by a change in blood volume or osmolality, the SON undergoes a function related plasticity that creates an environment that allows for an appropriate hormone response. Here, we have described the impact of SL and WD compared to euhydrated (EU) controls in terms of drinking and eating behaviour, body weight and recorded physiological data including circulating hormone data and plasma and urine osmolality. We have also used microarrays to profile the transcriptome of the SON following SL
