View SamplesStaphylococcus aureus enterotoxins cause debilitating systemic inflammatory responses, but how they spread systemically and trigger cascading inflammation is unclear. Here, we showed in mice that after inhalation, Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A rapidly entered the bloodstream and induced T cells to orchestrate systemic recruitment of inflammatory monocytes and neutrophils. To study the mechanism used by specific T cells that mediate this process, a systems approach revealed inducible and non-inducible pathways as potential targets. It was found that TNF induced neutrophil entry into the peripheral blood, while CD28 signaling, but not TNF, was needed for chemotaxis of inflammatory monocytes into blood and lymphoid tissue. However, both pathways triggered local recruitment of neutrophils into lymph nodes. Thus, our findings revealed a dual mechanism of monocyte and neutrophil recruitment by T cells relying on overlapping and non-overlapping roles for the non-inducible costimulatory receptor CD28 and the inflammatory cytokine TNF. During sepsis, there might be clinical value in inhibiting CD28 signaling to decrease T cell-mediated inflammation and recruitment of innate cells while retaining bioactive TNF to foster neutrophil circulation. Overall design: The purpose of this analysis was to determine changes in gene expression in SEA-specific Vß3+ T cells and bystander T Vß14+ cells 40 min after SEA or vehicle inhalation.The samples were collected from three independent experiments with total n=3 per group. Three groups of samples were prepared: vehicle Vß3+ T cells, SEA Vß3+ T cells, and SEA Vß14+ T cells.

View SamplesMutations in the RUNX1 gene (RUNX1mut) have been established in myelodysplasia (MDS), de novo and secondary acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), and are in general associated with an unfavourable clinical outcome. Familial RUNX1 mutations are associated with familial thrombocytopenia and these patients have a predisposition to AML development. However, a number of studies have been performed so far in mice which might be distinct from the human hematopoietic system. Therefore we studied the cellular phenotypes, the RUNX1 binding pattern and expression profile induced by RUNX1mut in cord blood (CB) CD34+ cells and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) and compared these findings to primary RUNX1mut AML's. Overall design: A total of nine samples were subject to RNA-Seq including RUNX1mut-transduced cord blood CD34 cells and time-course iPSCs.

View SamplesPurpose: Utilized Next-generation sequencing (NGS) to profile transcriptional differences between two populations, carriers (CC) of rs10846744 SNP associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and non-carriers (GG) who are disease free. Methods: Total RNA was isolated from three subjects homozygous for the rs10846744 reference (GG) allele and three subjects homozygous for the rs10846744 risk (CC) allele and then subjected to full transcriptome sequencing using the Perkin Elmer next gen sequencing platform (Perkin Elmer, Branford, CT). Bioinformatics was performed using Perkin Elmer GeneSifter software program. The data was adjusted by selecting total map reads, quality reads >20, log transformation, and using Benjamini Hochberg to correct for multiple testing. RNA targets of interest were validated by qRT–PCR using TaqMan assays and western blotting using standard methodologies. Results: Using Perkin Elmer''s Genesifter Analysis Edition Software, we mapped about 100 million sequence reads per sample to the human genome (build 37.2), normalized the raw read count by total mapped million reads and identified 937 upregulated and 587 downregulated transcripts in the EBV (Epstein Barr Virus)-transformed B lymphocyte cells isolated from 3 carriers of the risk (CC) allele and 3 non-carriers of the (GG) reference allele with BWA workflow. RNA-seq data confirmed differential expression of LAG3 and this was validated with qRT–PCR. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of differential LAG3 expression, contributing to CVD, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. Overall design: mRNA transcriptional profiles from EBV (Epstein Barr Virus)-transformed B lymphocyte cells, isolated from 3 carriers of the risk (CC) allele and 3 non-carriers of the (GG) reference allele, were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina platform technology.

View SamplesO-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc ) transferase (OGT) activity is essential for embryonic stem (ES) cell viability and mouse development. OGT is present in both cytoplasm and nucleus of different cell types and mediates serine or threonine glycosylation. The Ogt gene locus resides on the X-chromosome and its activity is required for the viability of male ES cells. Using Ogt conditional knock out (KO) ES cells it was shown the failure of establishing stable KO ES clones further suggesting that Ogt activity is required for ES cell self-renewal and pluripotency. For understanding these changes, we performed global gene expression upon silencing of Ogt mediated by esiRNA in mouse Embryonic Stem Cells.
