View SamplesWe report the application of Affymetrix technology for high-throughput profiling of the transcriptome of the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rat model induced by collagen type II (CIA), with acupuncture, Methotrexate, Isofluorane anesthetic and placebo treatments, as well as the healthy control.

View SamplesWe report the application of Illumina Hiseq2000 sequencing technology for high-throughput miRNA profiling of the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rat model induced by collagen type II (CIA), with acupuncture and placebo treatments. Overall design: The experiment is designed as 2 arms: epidermal needle manipulation (AP/MEC) and placebo (PLA, used as control) on CIA induced rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rats. Muscle tissue samples sampling was carried out before any therapy in RA rats (RA_T0), and after at 1 hour and 34 days of therapeutic treatments for both AP and PLA. From all the 10 blood collected samples (2 replicates for each group, for each timepoint), total RNA were extracted. Finally, purified RNA were analyzed using illumina hiseq 2000).

View SamplesWe report the application of Illumina Hiseq2000 sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of the transcriptome of the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rat model induced by collagen type II (CIA) and treated with acupuncture or not. Overall design: 2 rats in total, i.e., 2 replicates RA rat model before treatment (RA1, 2) for 3 in vitro culture conditions (standard serum FBS, blood serum from animals acupuncture treated AP+, blood serum from animals acupuncture untreated AP-).

View SamplesThe intestinal immune system must elicit robust immunity against harmful pathogens but restrain immune responses directed against commensal microbes and dietary antigens. The mechanisms that maintain this dichotomy are poorly understood. Here we describe a population of CD11b+F4/80+CD11c macrophages in the lamina propria (LP) that express several anti-inflammatory molecules including interleukin 10 (IL-10), but little or no pro-inflammatory cytokines, even upon stimulation with Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands. These macrophages induced, in a manner dependent on IL-10, retinoic acid and exogenous transforming growth factor-, differentiation of FoxP3+ regulatory T cells. In contrast, LP CD11b+ dendritic cells elicited IL-17 production. This IL-17 production was suppressed by LP macrophages, indicating that a dynamic interplay between these subsets may influence the balance between immune activation and tolerance.
Lamina propria macrophages and dendritic cells differentially induce regulatory and interleukin 17-producing T cell responses.

View SamplesWe have carried out whole-genome expression profiling of whole blood from obese subjects, defined as obese diet-sensitive and obese diet-resistant, and well matched lean individuals. The diet-sensitive or diet-resistant status refers to the different rates of weight loss observed in the two groups on a low-calorie diet regimen. Bioinformatic analysis revealed alterations in transcription in key pathways that are consistent with impaired capacity for fatty acid oxidation driven mitochondrial ATP synthesis in obese subjects who are resistant to weight loss.
Gene expression profiling in whole blood identifies distinct biological pathways associated with obesity.

View SamplesT follicular regulatory (TFR) cells are found in the germinal center (GC) response and help shape the antibody (Ab) response. Whether TFR cells have a suppressive role, a helper role or both types of roles in the GC is unclear. Here, we addressed TFR cell function using 3 different strains of TFR cell mutant mice. After immunization, GC B cells but not T follicular helper (TFH) cell positively correlated with TFR cell levels. Using a gene profiling approach, we found that TFH cells from TFR-deficient mice showed strong up-regulation of granzyme B (Gzmb) and other effector CD8 T cell genes, many of which were Stat4 dependent. This aberrant cytotoxic T cell gene profile was increased in TFR-deficient mice crossed on a pro-inflammatory background. We detected Gzmb+ and Eomesodermin+ TFH cells and a higher rate of apoptotic GC B cells in the absence of TFR cells. Klrg1+ TFH cells expressed higher Gzmb and less IL-4 and IL-21. Our data show that TFR cells repress the development of abnormal cytotoxic TFH cells that correlate with a lower GC and Ab response. This data shows a novel mode of helper function for TFR cells in the GC response. Overall design: RNA sequenced from freshly isolated TFH cells of different mice with presence or loss of TFR cells
Follicular regulatory T cells inhibit the development of granzyme B-expressing follicular helper T cells.
