View SamplesFibroblast activation protein-a (FAP) identifies stromal cells of mesenchymal origin in human cancers and chronic inflammatory lesions. In mouse models of cancer, they have been shown to be immune suppressive, but studies of their occurrence and function in normal tissues have been limited. With a transgenic mouse line permitting the bioluminescent imaging of FAP(+) cells, we find that they reside in most tissues of the adult mouse. FAP(+) cells from three sites, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and pancreas, have highly similar transcriptomes, suggesting a shared lineage. FAP(+) cells of skeletal muscle are the major local source of follistatin, and in bone marrow they express Cxcl12 and KitL. Experimental ablation of these cells causes loss of muscle mass and a reduction of B-lymphopoiesis and erythropoiesis, revealing their essential functions in maintaining normal muscle mass and hematopoiesis, respectively. Remarkably, these cells are altered at these sites in transplantable and spontaneous mouse models of cancer-induced cachexia and anemia. Thus, the FAP(+) stromal cell may have roles in two adverse consequences of cancer: their acquisition by tumors may cause failure of immunosurveillance, and their alteration in normal tissues contributes to the paraneoplastic syndromes of cachexia and anemia. Overall design: FAP+ cells were sorted from two mesenchymal tissues, visceral adipose and skeletal muscle, and from an epithelial organ, the pancreas. These were compared to MEFs. Cells were isolated in duplicate experiments and these were analysed separately. These were compared to previously published publically available CD4+ T-cell subset data.
Depletion of stromal cells expressing fibroblast activation protein-α from skeletal muscle and bone marrow results in cachexia and anemia.

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).
