To try to identify the mechanism of STAT3s indirect action we have used a genomic approach to map the binding sites of STAT3 within the genome and also used RNA-seq technology to map the changes in RNA expression and transcript isoform abundance in response to IL-10. Overall design: Examination of transcriptome changes in peritoneal macrophages when treated with IL-10 for 4 hours. RNA was extracted and sequenced.
Genome-wide analysis of STAT3 binding in vivo predicts effectors of the anti-inflammatory response in macrophages.

View SamplesEvaluation of transcriptional changes in the striatum may be an effective approach to understanding the natural history of changes in expression contributing to the pathogenesis of Huntington disease (HD). We have performed genome-wide expression profiling of the YAC128 transgenic mouse model of HD at 12 and 24 months of age using two platforms in parallel; Affymetrix and Illumina. We performed gene expression profiling on the same striatal mRNA across both platforms.

View SamplesNSAIDs and ACE that affect prostaglandin synthesis are widely used by pregnant women. Epidemiological studies have hypothesized a potential relation of testis dysgenesis syndromes such as cryptorchidism and hypospadias to exposure to these molecules during both the first and the second trimesters of gestation. To decipher whether the embryonic gonads themselves are targets for these molecules, we analysed the impact of precocious in utero exposure to NSAIDs and ACE alone or in combination on the early development of the testis during sex determination, using therapeutic doses similar to those administrated in human medications. We found that in utero exposure to ACE, aspirin or ibuprofen affects the germ cell proliferation in embryonic testis. The whole transcriptome of 13.5 dpc (days post coïtum) treated testis suggests different mechanisms of action of these drugs and a functional interaction between both molecules used in combination, in accelerating the germ cell differentiation. We identified that ACE and ibuprofen exposure through the up-regulation of Dnmt3L expression induces advanced epigenetic reprograming of the germline and enhanced glycogen storage within the testis cords through the activation of extracellular matrix genes expression. In addition, we identified for the first time the prostaglandin production pattern in the embryonic gonad and showed that PGD2, PGE2 and PGI2 were the targets of ACE and NSAIDs drugs. These features might affect the formation and maturation of postnatal testis and secondary reproductive organs leading to male infertility in adult age. Overall design: examination of the impact of in utero exposure to NSAIDs and ACE on testis organogenesis

View SamplesAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease with underlying defects in epidermal function and immune responses. The goal of this study was to investigate differences in gene expression in lesional skin from patients with mild extrinsic or intrinsic AD compared to skin from healthy controls and from lesional psoriasis skin. The aim was to identify differentially expressed genes involved in skin barrier formation and inflammation, and to compare our results with those reported for patients with moderate and severe AD.

View SamplesPurpose: To identify transcriptional changes by RNA-seq in tumor samples, before bevacizumab combination treatment and after bevacizumab combination treatment in both responding and non-responding recurrent glioblastoma patients Overall design: Three comparison analyses were further performed: 1.) Paired analysis of pre- and post-treated samples from responding patients; 2.) Comparison of pre-treated samples of responders vs. non-responders; 3.) Paired analysis of pre- and post-treated samples from non-responding patients The sample ''characteristics: batch'' represents a combination of the RNA-extraction date and the library-preparation date for each sample.
