We performed a transcriptomic analysis to identify genes differentially transcribed in the maize stem upon corn borer feeding and treatment with insects regurgitates by using the MACE (Massive Analysis of cDNA Ends) technology. Overall design: Two comparisons were performed: Insect chewing vs control and Regurgitate+wounding vs wounding in three biological replicates per treatment

View SamplesPathogen-associated molecular patterns decisively influence antiviral immune responses, whereas the contribution of endogenous signals of tissue damage, also known as damage-associated molecular patterns or alarmins, remains ill-defined. We show that interleukin-33 (IL-33), an alarmin released from necrotic cells, is necessary for potent CD8+ T cell (CTL) responses to replicating, prototypic RNA and DNA viruses in mice. IL-33 signaled through its receptor on activated CTLs, enhanced clonal expansion in a MyD88-dependent, CTL-intrinsic fashion, determined polyfunctional effector cell differentiation and was necessary for virus control. Moreover, recombinant IL-33 augmented vaccine-induced CTL responses. Radio-resistant cells of the splenic T cell zone produced IL-33, and efficient CTL responses required IL-33 from radio-resistant cells but not from hematopoietic cells. Thus, alarmin release by radio-resistant cells orchestrates protective antiviral CTL responses.
The alarmin interleukin-33 drives protective antiviral CD8⁺ T cell responses.

View SamplesIn order to comprehensively identify RNA-expression changes after p53-activation, total RNA was isolated and subjected to next generation seqencing (RNA-Seq) after activation of a conditional p53 allele in SW480 cells. Overall design: SW480/pRTR-p53-VSV cells were subjected to RNA-Seq analysis after 48 hours doxycycline-treatment.

View SamplesIn order to identify genes regulated by long noncoding RNA H19 in the ovary, we performed RNA-Seq with WT and H19KO ovaries from 8-week old mice. Among the differentially expressed genes, we found anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), which potentially plays an important role in regulating ovarian follicular development, might be a target of H19 mediated regulation. Overall design: Ovaries were harvested from 8-week old WT and H19KO mice, followed by total RNA extraction, library preparation and RNA-seq analysis to compare gene expression profiles between WT and H19KO conditions.

View SamplesPrimary Sjgrens syndrome (pSS) is a chronic autoimmune disease with complex etiopathogenesis. Here we use Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 microarray gene expression data from human parotid tissue. Parotid gland tissues were harvested from 17 pSS and 14 14 non-pSS sicca patients and 18 controls. The data were used in the following article: Nazmul-Hossain ANM, Pollard RPE, Kroese FGM, Vissink A, Kallenberg CGM, Spijkervet FKL, Bootsma H, Michie SA, Gorr SU, Peck AB, Cai C, Zhou H, Horvath S, Wong DTW (2012) Systems Analysis of Primary Sjgrens Syndrome Pathogenesis in Salivary Glands: Comparative Pathways and Molecular Events in Humans and a Mouse Model.

View SamplesWe devised a novel insertional mutagenesis approach based on lentiviral vectors to induce hepatocellular carcinoma in three mouse models and identified four novel cancer initiating genes. Two genes are the well characterized Braf and Sos1, while the other two are Fign, encoding an AAA ATPase whose functions are poorly understood, and the complex Dlk1-Dio3 imprinted region which has been recently implicated in cancer and stemness. Activation of Fign or Braf and upregulation of the Dlk1-Dio3 imprinted region are functionally interconnected and may altogether control cell transformation, stemness and energy metabolism. Moreover, all the genes identified play a relevant role in human hepatocarcinogenesis as their expression levels and/or transcriptional signatures induced by their deregulation predict a different clinical outcome in hepatocellular carcinoma patients. These series consists of mRNA expression microarray data (The GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array, Affymetrix) from 8 non-tumoral liver and 21 hepatocellular carcinoma induced by insertional mutagenesis.
Lentiviral vector-based insertional mutagenesis identifies genes associated with liver cancer.
