View SamplesBisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), is a well-known, ubiquitous estrogenic chemical. To investigate the effects of fetal exposure to low-dose BPA on the development of the prostate, we first examined the alterations of in situ sex steroid hormonal environment in the mouse urogenital sinus (UGS).
Endocrine disrupter bisphenol A increases in situ estrogen production in the mouse urogenital sinus.

View SamplesWe analyzed publicly available mucosal gene expression data from Crohn''s disease (CD) patients pre- and post-infliximab therapy and found that a series of gene expression signature that remains abnormal even if patients achieve clinical remission. Using CMap approach to discover novel therapeutic target for untreatable mechanism of anti-TNFa mAb therapy, we have identified MEK inhibitor exhibiting negatively-correlated effects on reference signature match infliximab therapy untreatable signature. Our findings provide the rationale for testing MEK inhibitor to identify a novel mechanism of action for CD. Gene expression profile was performed to analyze the gene modulation induced by a highly selective MEK inhibitor, and to evaluate whether it normalized reference residual CD signature in vitro. Overall design: LoVo, a human colorectal cancer cell line, was treated with MEK inhibitor for 24 hours across ten dose response conditions (0.03–1,000 nM), and amplicon sequencing was performed on the Ion Torrent platform. Effects of MEK inhibitor were compared with that of DMSO-treated control. MEK inhibitor (compound 33 in Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 22 (2012) 2411 2414))

Our findings provide the rationale for testing MEK inhibitor to identify a novel mechanism of action for CD. Using an activated T cell trasnfer colitis model, a highly selective MEK inhibitor showed therapeutic efficacy and improved the histological changes. To dissect molecular mechanisms, we performed global gene expression profile by RNA-sequencing on the Ion Torrent platform to identify broad scale changes in gene expression treated with MEK inhibitor compared to anti-TNFa mAb. Overall design: Splenocytes from BALB/c female mice were activated with Concanavalin A (4 µg/mL), and recombinant human IL-2 (10 ng/mL, R&D systems) for 3 days. CD4+ T cells were isolated by MACS separation systems, and then 2 x105 activated CD4+ T cells were intravenously injected into female SCID mice (day 0). At day 17, diarrhea score for stool consistency was graded and equally divided into 5 groups as follows: vehicle control, enteric MEK inhibitor microparticles (MPs) at 0.3 mg/kg and at 1 mg/kg, isotype antibody (Isotype mAb) and anti-TNFa antibody (Anti-TNFa mAb). Enteric MEK inhibitor MPs were orally administered once a day from day 17 to day 27. Isotype mAb and anti-TNFa mAb were intraperitoneally injected every 4 days from day 17 at 0.1 mg/mouse. Total RNA from individual cohorts were extracted from the distal part of the colon at day 28, and whole transcriptome sequencing was performed on the Ion Torrent platform.

View SamplesAnalysis of Foxp3(+)epigenetics(-) T cells, Foxp3(-)epigenetics(+) T cells, and Foxp3(+)epigenetics(+) T cells. Results indicate regulatory T cell (Treg) ontogenesis requires two independent processes, expression of the transcription factor Foxp3 and establishment of Treg epigenetic programs induced by T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation.
T cell receptor stimulation-induced epigenetic changes and Foxp3 expression are independent and complementary events required for Treg cell development.

View SamplesWe performed morphogen-directed differentiation of human PSCs into HE followed by combinatorial screening of 26 candidate HSC-specifying TFs for the potential to promote hematopoietic engraftment in irradiated immune deficient murine hosts. We recovered seven TFs (ERG, HOXA5, HOXA9, HOXA10, LCOR, RUNX1, SPI1) that together were sufficient to convert HE into hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) that engraft primary and secondary murine recipients Overall design: Examination of expression pattern in hematopoietic cells.
