Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
The instrinsic regenerative capacity of human fetal cardiac mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) has not been fully characterised. Here we demonstrate that we can expand cells with characteristics of cardiovascular progenitor cells from the MSC population of human fetal hearts with only minor fluctuations over time in culture (from day 15 to day 48).

Description
The objective was to study the time-course effects of interleukin-1 (IL-1) on equine articular cartilage, with the aim to identify genes of relevance for cartilage pathology in osteoarthritis. Changes in gene expression related to inflammation, extracellular matrix, and phenotypic alterations was studied.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Early onset sepsis due to Group B streptococcus (GBS) leads to neonatal morbidity, increased mortality and long term neurological deficencies. Interaction between septicemic GBS and confluent monlayers of human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) was analyzed by a genome wide expression profiling. Regulation of selected genes and proteins identified in the gene array analysis was confirmed by Real Time RT-PCR assay (Granulocyte chemotactic protein 2 (CXCL6)), ELISA (Urokinase, Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), Granulocyte chemotactic protein 1 (IL8)) and Western Blotting (Heme oxygenase1, BCL2 interacting protein (BIM)) at various time points between 4 and 24 hours. In total, 124 genes were differentially regulated (89 upregulated, 35 downregulated) based on a more than 3-fold difference to unstimulated HCAEC. Regulated genes are involved in apoptosis, hemostasis, oxidative stress response, infection and inflammation. We confirmed upregulation of urokinase (UPA), COX2, HMOX1 and BCL2 interacting protein and downregulation of CXCL6 and IL8. These results indicate that GBS infection might lead to impaired function of the innate immune system and might contribute to hemorrhagic and inflammatory complications during GBS sepsis.

Description
Gene expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) was investigated by microarray analysis after 4 h infection with S. aureus isolated from healthy nasal carriers (n=5) and from blood (n=5) of septic patients. All bacterial isolates were spa-typed and characterized with a DNA microarray to determine the presence of virulence genes.

Description
This experiment series addresses the role of coactivator SRC-1/NcoA-1 for the induction of interleukin-6 (IL-6) target genes in HepG2 cells. For that purpose, HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells were manipulated to stably express an shRNA that knocks down SRC-1 expression yielding the HepG2-Src1 cells. Either unmanipulated HepG2 or HepG2-Src1 cells were then treated for various periods with IL-6.
Publication Title
Co-activator SRC-1 is dispensable for transcriptional control by STAT3.

Description
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a devastating opportunistic infection and its treatment constitutes a considerable burden for the health care system. Immunocompromised patients are at an increased risk for IA, which is mainly caused by the species Aspergillus fumigatus. An early and reliable diagnosis is required to initiate the appropriate antifungal therapy. However, diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy still needs to be improved, which can be achieved at least partly by the definition of new biomarkers. Besides the direct detection of the pathogen by the current diagnostic methods, the analysis of the host response is a promising strategy towards this aim. Following this approach, we sought to identify new biomarkers for IA. For this purpose, we analyzed gene expression profiles of haematological patients and compared profiles of patients suffering from IA with non-IA patients. Based on microarray data, we applied a comprehensive feature selection using a random forest classifier. We identified the transcript coding for the S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) as a potential new biomarker for the diagnosis of IA. Considering the expression of this gene, we were able to classify samples from patients with IA with 82.3% sensitivity and 74.6% specificity. Moreover, we validated the expression of S100B in a real-time RT-PCR assay and we also found a down-regulation of S100B in A.fumigatus stimulated DCs. An influence on the IL1B and CXCL1 downstream levels was demonstrated by this S100B knockdown. In conclusion, this study covers an effective feature selection revealing a key regulator of the human immune response during IA. S100B may represent an additional diagnostic marker that in combination with the established techniques may improve the accuracy of IA diagnosis.

Description
In a whole-transcriptome study, cellular responses of DCs confronted with the fungi A. fumigatus, C. albicans or the bacterial cell wall component lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were investigated. Therefore, DCs of four independent donors were harvested after 12 hours co-culture with A. fumigatus, C. albicans and LPS and analyzed with Affymetrix whole genome expression arrays. In general, transcriptomic analysis revealed a clustering of the A. fumigatus- and C. albicans-stimulated DCs. However, LPS and fungi-dependent gene expression showed more common similarities compared to the untreated control.
