Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
The Wilms tumor-suppressor gene WT1, a key player in renal development, also has a crucial role in maintenance of the glomerulus in the mature kidney. However, molecular pathways orchestrated by WT1 in podocytes, where it is highly expressed, remain unknown. Their defects are thought to modify the cross-talk between podocytes and other glomerular cells and ultimately lead to glomerular sclerosis, as observed in diffuse mesangial sclerosis (DMS) a nephropathy associated with WT1 mutations.

Description
The thorough characterization of the transcriptome of endogenous podocytes has been hampered by low yields of cell isolation procedures. Here we introduce a double fluorescent reporter mouse model combined with an optimized bead perfusion protocol and efficient single cell dissociation yielding more than 500,000 podocytes per mouse allowing for global, unbiased downstream applications. Combining mRNA transcriptional profiling revealed programs of highly specific gene regulation tightly controlling cytoskeleton, cell differentiation, endosomal transport and peroxisome function in podocytes. Strikingly, the analyses further predict that these podocyte-specific gene regulatory networks are accompanied by alternative splicing of respective genes. In summary, the presented omics approach will facilitate the discovery and integration of novel gene, protein and organelle regulatory networks that deepen our systematic understanding of podocyte biology.

Description
In this study, we used RNA-sequencing to profile the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) transcriptome in lesional skin from psoriasis patients before (PP) and after treatment (PT) with adalimumab and in normal skin from healthy individuals (NN). For this we sequenced total RNA from 18 psoriasis patients (before and after treatment) and 16 healthy controls. We created our own reference set of long non-coding RNAs by merging three long non-coding RNA reference data sets. The combined reference had 67,157 lncRNA transcripts with no overlaps. We identified differential expression of 971 lncRNAs between PP and NN, 157 between PP and PT, and 377 between PT and NN. Based on differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs between PP and NN, we identified a molecular lncRNA signature that distinguishes psoriatic skin from healthy skin . Overall design: We recruited 18 psoriatic patients in our study. We took 5 mm punch biopsies from the edge of a psoriatic plaque before treatment and after one month of treatment with adalimumab. The mean improvement in the PASI over this time period was 53.1%. We obtained sixteen normal skin samples (N=16) from healthy control surgical discard specimens.

Description
Human skin consists of multiple cell types, including epithelial, immune, and stromal cells. Transcriptomic analyses have previously been performed from bulk skin samples or from epithelial and immune cells expanded in cell culture. However, transcriptomic analysis of bulk skin tends to drown out expression signals from relatively rare cells while cell culture methods may significantly alter cellular phenotypes and gene expression profiles. To identify distinct transcriptomic profiles of multiple cell populations without substantially altering cell phenotypes, we employed a fluorescence activated cell sorting method to isolate keratinocytes, dendritic cells, CD4+ T effector cells, CD4+ Treg cells, and CD8+ T effector cells from healthy skin samples, followed by RNA-seq of each cell population. Principal components analysis revealed distinct clustering of cell types across samples, while differential expression and coexpression network analyses revealed transcriptional profiles of individual cell populations distinct from bulk skin, most strikingly in the least abundant CD8+ T effector population. Our work provides a high resolution view of cutaneous cellular gene expression and suggests that transcriptomic profiling of bulk skin may inadequately capture the contribution of less abundant cell types. Overall design: Transcriptomic profiles from keratinocyte, dendritic cell, CD4+ T cell, CD4+ Treg cells, and CD8+ T cell populations were obtained from surgical skin discards from 11 healthy adults. Cell populations from whole skin were sorted via FACS and transcripts generated using an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. RNA-seq data for the bulk control samples were originally deposited in GEO study GSE74697.

Description
Adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) is a promising therapeutic approach for cancer patients. The use of allogeneic T cell grafts will improve its applicability and versatility provided that inherent allogeneic responses are controlled. T cell activation is finely regulated by multiple signaling molecules that are transcriptionally controlled by epigenetic mechanisms. Through extensive chemical probe screening, we found that inhibiting DOT1L, a histone H3-lysine 79 methyltransferase, alleviated allogeneic T cell responses.

Description
Adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) is a promising therapeutic approach for cancer patients. The use of allogeneic T cell grafts will improve its applicability and versatility provided that inherent allogeneic responses are controlled. Through extensive chemical probe screening, we found that inhibiting DOT1L, a histone H3-lysine 79 methyltransferase, alleviated allogeneic T cell responses. DOT1L inhibition with SGC0946 selectively ameliorated low-avidity T cell responses but not high-avidity antitumor T cell responses mediated by the high-affinity T cell receptor or chimeric antigen receptor. The inhibition of DOT1L in T cells prevented the development of graft-versus-host disease while retaining potent antitumor activity in xenogeneic ACT models. These results suggest that DOT1L inhibition may enable the safe and effective use of allogeneic antitumor T cells by suppressing unwanted immunological reactions in ACT. Overall design: To investigate how DOT1L inhibition modulates the T cell activation signal, we compared gene expression profiles between SGC0946-treated or DMSO-treated (control) T cells by RNA-sequencing analysis. Human CD8+ T cells derived from three different healthy donors were cultured in the presence of SGC0946 or DMSO. Total RNA was collected from each sample and gene expression profiles were analyzed by RNA-sequencing using an Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencer.
