Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by increased vascular risk due to premature atherosclerosis independent of traditional risk factors. We previously proposed that interferon- plays a crucial role in premature vascular damage in SLE. IFN- alters the balance between endothelial cell apoptosis and vascular repair mediated by endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and myeloid circulating angiogenic cells (CACs). Here we demonstrate that IFN- promotes an antiangiogenic signature in SLE and control EPCs/CACs, characterized by transcriptional repression of IL-1 and , IL-1 receptor 1 and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and upregulation of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) and the decoy receptor IL1-R2. IL-1 promotes significant improvement in the functional capacity of lupus EPCs/CACs, therefore abrogating the deleterious effects of IFN-.
The detrimental effects of IFN-α on vasculogenesis in lupus are mediated by repression of IL-1 pathways: potential role in atherogenesis and renal vascular rarefaction.

View SamplesGlomerular diseases account for the majority of cases with chronic renal failure. Several genes have been identified with key relevance for glomerular function. Quite a few of these genes show a specific or preferential mRNA expression in the renal glomerulus. To identify additional candidate genes involved in glomerular function in humans we generated a human renal glomerulus-specific transcript dataset (GTD) by comparing gene expression profiles from human glomeruli and tubulointerstitium obtained from six transplant living donors using Affymetrix HG-U133A arrays. This analysis resulted in 677 genes with prominent overrepresentation in the glomerulus. Genes with a priori established known prominent glomerular expression served for validation and were all found in the novel expression library (e.g. CDKN1, DAG1, DDN, EHD3, MYH9, NES, NPHS1, NPHS2, PDPN, PLA2R1, PLCE1, PODXL, PTPRO, SYNPO, TCF21, TJP1, WT1). The mRNA expression for several novel glomerulus-enriched genes identified in REGGEL was validated by qRT-PCR. Gene ontology and pathway analysis identified biological processes previously not reported to be of relevance in glomeruli including among others axon guidance. This finding was further validated by assessing the expression of the axon guidance molecules neuritin (NRN1) and roundabout receptor ROBO1 and -2. Glomerular disease associated differential mRNA regulation of ROBO2 was found in diabetic nephropathy.

View SamplesSequencing libraries were generated from total RNA samples following the mRNAseq protocol for the generation of single end (16-36 hpf, 5 day larvae, adult head and adult tail) or paired end (24 hpf) libraries (Illumina). Single end reads of 36 nucleotides and paired end reads (2 x 76 nucleotides) were obtained with a GAIIx (Illumina). Gene expression at the different stages/tissu was assessed by cufflinks and HTseq. Overall design: RNAseq on 5 differents samples: 24hpf embryos, pool of 16 hour to 36 hour embryos, 5 days old larvea, adult head and adult tail
Genome-wide, whole mount in situ analysis of transcriptional regulators in zebrafish embryos.
