Description
This experiment aims to identify the biological pathways and diseases associated with the cytokine Interleukin 13 (IL-13) using gene expression measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Overall design: The experiment comprised of samples obtained from 3 healthy donors. The expression profiles of in vitro IL-13 stimulation were generated using RNA-seq technology for 3 PBMC samples at 24 hours. The transcriptional profiles of PBMCs without IL-13 stimulation were also generated to be used as controls. An IL-13R-alpha antagonist (Redpath et al. Biochemical Journal, 2013) was introduced into IL-13 stimulated PBMCs and the gene expression levels after 24h were profiled to examine the neutralization of IL-13 signaling by the antagonist.

Description
Rhomboid family protein RHBDF2, an upstream regulator of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor signaling, has been implicated in cutaneous wound healing. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still emerging. Using a gain-of-function mutation in the mouse Rhbdf2 gene (Rhbdf2cub/cub), which shows a regenerative phenotype, we sought to identify the underlying mechanism.

Description
Purpose: Single-cell RNA sequencing has revolutionized cell-type specific gene expression analysis. The goals of this study are to compare cell specific gene expression patterns between retinal cell types originating from the fovea and the periphery of human eyes. Methods: Independent libraries were prepared for foveal and peripheral samples of neural retina from three donors using the 10x Chromium system. Libraries were sequenced on a HiSeq4000. Sequenced reads were mapped to the human genome build hg19 will CellRanger(v3.0.1) and filters removed cells likely to be doublets or cells with a high proportion of mitochondrial reads. Clustering of cells with similar expression profiles was performed with Seurat (v2.3.4). Results: Independent libraries were prepared for foveal and peripheral samples of neural retina from three donors using the 10x Chromium system. Libraries were sequenced on a HiSeq4000. Sequenced reads were mapped to the human genome build hg19 will CellRanger(v3.0.1) and filters removed cells likely to be doublets or cells with a high proportion of mitochondrial reads. Clustering of cells with similar expression profiles was performed with Seurat (v2.3.4). Conclusions: Our study generates a large atlas of human retinal transcriptomes at the single cell level. We identified the majority of expected neural and supportive cell types, and describe regional differences in gene expression between the fovea and the periphery. Our results show that that single-cell RNA sequencing can be performed on human retina after cryopreservation, and that cone photoreceptors and Muller cells demonstrate region-specific patterns of gene expression. Overall design: mRNA profiles for thousands of cells from foveal and peripheral retinal isolates were generated from three human donor eyes using 10X Genomics Chromium single-cell system followed by sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 4000.

Description
G-CSF is a hemopoietic growth factor that has a role in steady state granulopoiesis, as well as in mature neutrophil activation and function. We developed a neutralizing monoclonal antibody to the murine G-CSF receptor (G-CSFR), which antagonizes binding of murine G-CSF and inhibits G-CSFR signalling. Anti-G-CSFR rapidly halts the progression of established disease in collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAbIA). Neutrophil accumulation in joints is inhibited, without rendering animals neutropenic, suggesting an effect on homing to inflammatory sites. Neutrophils in the blood and arthritic joints of anti-G-CSFR treated mice show alterations in cell adhesion receptors, while anti-G-CSFR suppresses local production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines known to drive tissue damage. Our aim in this study was to use differential gene expression analysis of joint and blood neutrophils to more thoroughly understand the effect of G-CSFR blockade on the inflammatory response following anti-G-CSFR therapy in CAbIA.

Description
In order to define the genes responsible for the growth and survival of a human castration-resistant prostate cancer cell line, a short term (doxycycline inducible) knockdown system was developed and utilized. Three independent 22Rv1 cell isolates were derived for each of the following doxycycline-inducible shRNAs (shGFP, shAR3, and shVav3) (AR3 = AR-V7). The cells were grown in androgen depleted conditions, plus or minus doxycycline, for three days. RNA from the 18 samples was then sent to the University of Miami Genetics Core for RNA Integrity Number (RIN) evaluation and microarray analysis. Genes differentially regulated by AR-V7 knock-down or VAV3 knock-down were explored as downstream targets of AR-V7 or VAV3, respectively.

Description
D122p53 mice (a model of D133p53 isoform) are tumour prone, have extensive inflammation and elevated serum IL-6. To investigate the role of IL-6 we crossed 122p53 mice with IL-6 deficient mice. Here we show that loss of IL-6 reduced JAK-STAT signalling, tumour incidence, and metastasis. We also show that D122p53 activates RhoA-ROCK signalling leading to tumour cell invasion which is IL-6 dependent and can be reduced by inhibition of JAK-STAT and RhoA-ROCK pathways. Similarly, we show that 133p53 activates the these pathways, resulting in invasive and migratory phenotypes, in colorectal cancer cells. Gene expression analysis of colorectal tumours showed enrichment of GPCR signalling associated with D133TP53 mRNA. Patients with elevated D133TP53 mRNA levels had a shorter disease free survival. Our results suggest that D133p53 promotes tumour invasion by activation of the JAK-STAT and RhoA-ROCK pathways and that patients whose tumours have high D133p53 may benefit from therapies targeting these pathways.

Description
C. elegans GLD-2 forms an active PAP with multiple RNA-binding partners to regulate diverse aspects of germline and early embryonic development. One GLD-2 partner, RNP-8, was previously shown to influence oocyte fate specification. To identify transcripts selectively associated with both GLD-2 and RNP-8, we employ a genomic approach using the method of RNA immunoprecipitation followed by microarray analysis (RIP-chip).
