Bone marrow derived macrophages were infected with Listeria monocytogenes for 4 hours. We investigated differently expressed genes in the absence of DDX3X upon infection and also in steady state conditions. Overall design: Investigation of gene expression in wt and Ddx3x deficient bone marrow derived macrophages in response to Listeria monocytogenes infection.
The RNA helicase DDX3X is an essential mediator of innate antimicrobial immunity.

View SamplesThe Eol1 cell line has been derived from a patient with chronic eosiniphilic leukemia. Eol1 cells express the FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha oncogene. Inhibition of FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha with imatinib mesylate (Glivec) blocks proliferation and survival of the cells. We performed microarray expression analysis to identify genes specifically regulated by FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha using imatinib-treated cells as baseline. The list of regulated genes was consistent with the activation of STAT trancription factors by FIP1L1-PDGFRA.
Transcription factor regulation can be accurately predicted from the presence of target gene signatures in microarray gene expression data.

View SamplesDuring chronic stimulation T cells acquire an exhausted phenotype characterized by expression of multiple inhibitory receptors and down-modulation of effector function. While this is required for the protection of the organism from excessive immunopathology, it also prevents successful immunity against persistent viruses or tumor cells. Here we demonstrate that CD8+ T cell exhaustion is characterized by a progressive decline in cellular metabolism. Exhausted T cells exhibit reduced metabolic reserve, impaired fatty acid oxidation and production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). Blockade of inhibitory PD-1/PD-L1 signaling rescued mitochondrial biogenesis, oxidative phosphorylation and ROS production, which was required for efficient restoration of cellular expansion and effector function. Expression of inhibitory receptors and impaired metabolic function was fuled by high amounts of IRF4, BATF and NFAT, which formed a TCR-responsive transcriptional circuit that sustained the transcriptional network responsible for T cell exhaustion.

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 SamplesHere we explored how the human macrophage response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is regulated by human synovial fibroblasts, the representative stromal cell type in the synovial lining of joints that become activated during inflammatory arthritis. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis (RNAseq) showed that co-cultured synovial fibroblasts modulate the expression of approximately one third of TNF-inducible genes in macrophages, including expression of target genes in pathways important for macrophage survival and polarization towards an alternatively activated phenotype. This work furthers our understanding of the interplay between innate immune and stromal cells during an inflammatory response, one that is particularly relevant to inflammatory arthritis. Our findings also identify modulation of macrophage phenotype as a new function for synovial fibroblasts that may prove to be a contributing factor in arthritis pathogenesis. Overall design: Human CD14+ MCSF-differentiated macrophages were cultured with or without synovial fibroblasts in transwell chambers. TNF was added at Day 0, macrophages were harvested at Day 2. Total of 4 samples: (1) macrophages alone (2) macrophages with fibroblasts (3) macrophages with TNF (4) macrophages with fibroblasts and TNF. Macrophage RNA was purified using RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen). Tru-seq sample preparation kits (Illumina) were used to purify poly-A transcripts and generate libraries with multiplexed barcode adaptors. All samples passed quality control on a Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent). Paired-end reads (50 x 2 cycles, ~75x106 reads per sample) were obtained on an Illumina HiSeq 2500. The TopHat program was used to align the reads to the UCSC Hg19 human reference genome, while the Cufflinks program allowed for measurements of transcript abundance (represented by Fragments Per Kilobase of exon model per Million mapped reads (FPKM)).
