Affymetrix Rat Genome U34 Array (rgu34a)
Description
Most kidney allograft losses are caused by chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD) that is characterized by interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy and a smoldering inflammatory process. The aim of the study was to correlate changes in gene expression over time, as evidenced by effects on regulatory pathways linked to the development of fibrosis and inflammation during the development of chronic damage. Renal allografts were harvested for time points 0d, 7d, 14d and 56d (n=3-5) and examined for steady state mRNA expression using Affymetrix microarray RG-U34A. A select group of genes previously associated with chronic fibrosis was then examined in the context of progressive dysfunction. In order to verify the microarray analysis, qPCR has been performed.

Description
Acute liver injury is a critical life-threatening event. Common causes are infections, intoxication, and ischemic conditions. The cytokine Interleukin 22 (IL-22) has been implicated in this process. However, the role of IL-22 during acute liver damage is controversial, since both protective and pathogenic properties have been reported. IL-22 binding protein (IL-22BP, IL-22Ra2), a soluble endogenous inhibitor of IL-22, is able to regulate IL-22 activity, and thus might explain some of the controversial findings. Since the role of IL-22BP in liver injury is unknown, we used Il22bp deficient mice and mouse models for acute liver damage to address this point. We found that Il22bp deficient mice were more susceptible to ischemia- and acetaminophen- induced liver damage. Deficiency of Il22bp caused increased hepatic damage and delayed liver regeneration. Using an unbiased approach, we found that IL-22, if uncontrolled in Il22bp deficient mice, induced Cxcl10 expression by hepatocytes, thereby recruiting inflammatory CD11b+Ly6C+ monocytes into the liver upon liver damage. Accordingly, neutralization of Cxcl10 reversed the increased disease susceptibility of Il22bp deficient mice. In conclusion, our data suggest dual functions of IL-22 in acute liver damage, and highlight the need to control IL-22 activity via IL-22BP. Overall design: RNA sequencing of RNA isolated from liver tissue from mice that underwent liver reperfusion treatment (IR) or sham surgery, in triplicate for three genotypes (Wt, Il22-/- and Il22bp-/-).

Description
IL-10 is a prototypical anti-inflammatory cytokine, which is fundamental to the maintenance of immune homeostasis, especially in the intestine. There is an assumption that cells producing IL-10 have an immunoregulatory function. However, here we report that IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells are phenotypically and functionally heterogeneous. By combining single cell transcriptome and functional analyses, we identified a subpopulation of IL-10-producing Foxp3Neg CD4+ T cells that displays regulatory activity unlike other IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells, which are unexpectedly pro-inflammatory. The combinatorial expression of co-inhibitory receptors is sufficient to discriminate IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells with regulatory function from others and to identify them across different tissues and disease models in mice and humans. These regulatory IL-10-producing Foxp3Neg CD4+ T cells have a unique transcriptional program, which goes beyond the regulation of IL-10 expression. Finally, we found that patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), demonstrate a deficiency in this specific regulatory T-cell subpopulation. Overall design: We carried out high troughput RNA sequencing of RNA isolated from IL-10 producing Foxp3- CD4+ T-cells, which were isolated from the spleen of mice treated with anti-CD3 antibody.

Description
This study seeks to understand the mechanisms behind enhanced lymphomagenesis observed in ImHABCL6/Uchl1 mice compared with ImHABCL6 alone. As the lymphomas arise from germinal center (GC) B-cells, we reasoned that transgenic Uchl1 altered the gene expression patterns in GC B-cells from these animals. We therefore isolated pre-malignant GC B-cells and examined the gene expression patterns to identify pathways affected by the addition of Uchl1.

Description
Tendon is a hypocellular tissue that contains functional cable-like units of type I collagen responsible for the transmission of force from muscle to bone. In the setting of injury or disease, patients can develop chronic tendinopathies that are characterized by pain, loss of function and persistent inflammatory changes that are often difficult to treat. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has shown promise in the treatment of chronic tendinopathy, but little is known about the mechanisms by which PRP can improve tendon healing. PRP contains many different growth factors and cytokines, and since these proteins can both activate and inhibit various signaling pathways it has been challenging to determine precisely which signaling pathways and cellular responses are most important. Using state-of-the-art bioinformatics tools and genome wide-expression profiling, the purpose of this study was to determine the signaling pathways activated within cultured tendon fibroblasts in response to PRP treatment.
