Description
Adenosine, prostaglandin E2, or increased intracellular cyclic AMP concentration each elicit potent anti-inflammatory events in human neutrophils by inhibiting functions such as phagocytosis, superoxide production, adhesion and cytokine release. However, the endogenous molecular pathways mediating these actions are poorly understood. In the present study, we examined their impact on the gene expression profile of stimulated neutrophils. We have identified a set of genes that may be part of important resolution pathways that interfere with cell activation. Identification of these pathways will improve understanding of the capacity of tissues to terminate inflammatory responses and contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies based on endogenous resolution

- Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Ubiquitylation plays an important role in the control of Na+ homeostasis by the kidney. It is well established that the epithelial Na+ channel ENaC is regulated by the ubiquitin-protein ligase NEDD4-2, limiting ENaC cell surface expression and activity. Ubiquitylation can be reversed by the action of deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs). One such DUB, USP2-45, was identified previously as an aldosterone-induced protein in the kidney, and is also a circadian output gene. In heterologous expression systems USP2-45 binds to ENaC, deubiquitylates it and enhances channel density and activity at the cell surface. Because the role of USP2-45 in renal Na+ transport had not been studied in vivo, we investigated here the effect of Usp2 gene inactivation in this process. We demonstrate first that the USP2-45 protein has a rhythmic expression with a peak at ZT12. Usp2-KO mice did not show any differences to wild-type littermates with respect to the diurnal control of Na+ or K+ urinary excretion and plasma levels neither on standard diet, nor after acute and chronic changes to low and high Na+ diets, respectively. Moreover, they had similar aldosterone levels either at low or high Na+ diet. Blood pressure measurements using telemetry did not reveal variations as compared to control mice. Usp2-KO did neither display alternations in ENaC or Na+,Cl--cotransporter (NCC) expression, nor were there any changes in regulatory protein levels, as evidenced by immunoblotting and transcriptome analysis. We conclude that USP2-45 is not crucial for the regulation of Na+ balance or maintenance of blood pressure in vivo.

Description
Atopic 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.

Description
Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells were treated with three newly synthesized compounds and DMSO as vehicle. Total RNA was isolated 6 and 24h after treatment and gene expression analysis was performed. Three independent experiments were performed, corresponding to rep1, rep2 and rep3. Experiment 1 (rep1) contained all substances at both time points tested. Experiment 2 (rep2) contained two of the compounds and control DMSO at both time points. Experiment 3 (rep3) contained the third compound and control DMSO at both time points.

Description
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition driven by loss of homeostasis between the mucosal immune system, the commensal gut microbiota, and the intestinal epithelium. Our overarching goal is to understand how these components of the intestinal ecosystem cooperate to control homeostasis and to identify novel signal transduction pathways that become dysregulated in IBD. METHODS: We have applied a multi-scale systems biology approach to a mouse model of chronic colitis. We combined quantitative measures of epithelial hyperplasia and immune infiltration with multivariate analysis of inter- and intra-cellular signaling molecules in order to generate a tissue level model of the inflamed disease state. We utilized the computational model to identify signaling pathways that were dysregulated in the context of colitis and then validated model predictions by measuring the effect of small molecule pathway inhibitors on colitis. RESULTS: Our data-driven computational model identified mTOR signaling as a potential driver of inflammation and mTOR inhibition reversed the molecular, immunological, and epithelial manifestations of colitis. Inhibition of Notch signaling, which induces epithelial differentiation, had the same effect, suggesting that the epithelial proliferation/differentiation state plays a key role in maintaining homeostasis of the colon. Confirming this, we found that colonic organoids grown ex vivo showed a similar relationship between proliferation and cytokine expression, even in the absence of gut bacteria and immune cells. CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides a tissue-level systems biology perspective of murine colitis and suggests that mTOR plays a key role in regulating colonic homeostasis by controlling epithelial proliferation/differentiation state.
