These experiments were designed as a benchmark tool for deconvolution methods. 5 immune cell populations were sorted from 3 healthy donors' peripheral bloods. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBCMs) and PolymorphoNuclear Cells (PMN) were separated using gradient centrifugation. T cells (DAPI-/CD3+/CD14-/CD19-/CD56-), monocytes (DAPI-/CD3-/CD14+/CD19-/CD56-), B cells (DAPI-/CD3-/CD14-/CD19+/CD56-) and NK cells (DAPI-/CD3-/CD14-/CD19-/CD56+) were FACS-sorted from PBMCs and neutrophils (DAPI-/CD66b+/CD19-/CD3-/CD56-/CD14-) were sorted from PMNs. RNA was extracted from the purified cell population, as well as from the HCT116 colon cancer cell line. RNAs from pure populations were then mixed in various proportions.

View SamplesKnockdowns of c-JUN and JUND had opposite effects on PC3 prostate cell migration. We predicted that c-JUN and JUND control the same set of cell migration genes, but in opposite directions. To test this hypothesis, mRNA with expression changes in c-JUN and JUND knockdown PC3 cell lines were compared to mRNA levels in control (luciferase knockdown) PC3 cells by RNA-seq. Overall design: mRNA profiles of luciferase knockdown (WT), c-Jun knockdown, and Jun-D knockdown in PC3 cells were generated using deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq. Knockdowns were stable shRNA expression from a lentiviral construct selected with puromycin.

View SamplesSporadic early onset colorectal carcinoma (EOCRC) is a growing problem that remains poorly understood. Clinical specificities and mechanisms of tumorigenesis might be relevant to both diagnosis and treatment. In this prospective study, clinicopathological features, genomic and gene expression profiles of sporadic EOCRC were compared to other well defined groups of CRC.

View SamplesWe report that previously described molecular subtypes of colorectal cancer are associated with the response to therapy in patients with metastatic disease. We also identified a patient population with high FOLFIRI sensitivity, as indicated by their 2.7-fold longer overall survival when treated with FOLFIRI, as first-line regimen, instead of FOLFOX. Our results demonstrate the interest of molecular classifications to develop tailored therapies for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

View SamplesWe found that amino acid transporter LHT1 was required for negatively regulating plant defence responses in addition to its physiological role in development and growth. In order to identify which defense pathways were involved in this process, we compared the expression profiles between wild type and lht1 mutant leaves without or with infection by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst). In the lht1 mutant, except the changes in nitrogen metabolism-, cellular redox-, and photorespiration-associated gene expressions, the most drastic upregulations were found in the salicylic acid pathway-associated defense genes.

View SamplesTranslocator protein (TSPO), previously known as the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor is a protein of unclear function in the outer mitochondrial membrane. Using TSPO gene-deleted mice, we recently demonstrated that the dogma surrounding mammalian TSPO as a cholesterol transporter essential for steroid hormone production is highly inaccurate. TSPO global knockout mice are apparently healthy and do not have any deficits in steroid hormone production. We present whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing data comparing adrenal gene expression between Tspo floxed (Tspofl/fl) and Tspo knockout (Tspo-/-) mice.
Peripheral benzodiazepine receptor/translocator protein global knock-out mice are viable with no effects on steroid hormone biosynthesis.

View SamplesDiclofenac (DCL) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Its use can be associated with serious adverse drug reactions most notable myocardial infarction and drug-induced liver injury (DILI). The molecular causes leading to DILI remains unclear and it seems to be multifactorial. The aims of this study is to identify the molecular mechanisms involving immune mediated inflammatory reactions and its link to DILI through whole genome gene expression profiling. Diclofenac was given to mice at 30 mg/kg for 1, 3 and 14 days. Microarray experiments were performed with RNA extracts from liver samples. The performed gene expression studies showed >600 significantly regulated genes after single and repeated dosing for 3 and 14 days. The functional annotation revealed several genes were regulated in common coding for inflammatory, immune, stress and acute-phase responses. Immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR as well as Western blotting were performed to evidence the regulation of key molecules in affected livers. In conclusion, the present study provides evidence for a mechanism of diclofenac induced liver injury that involves pro-inflammatory cytokine and acute phase responses.
