Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease that is characterized by the presence of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6). Here, we investigated the global molecular effects of Tocilizumab, an approved humanized anti-IL6 Receptor antibody, versus Methotrexate therapy, in synovial biopsy samples collected prospectively in early RA before and 12 weeks after administration of the drug. The results were compared with our previous data, generated in prospective cohorts of Adalimumab- and Rituximab-treated (Methotrexate- and anti-TNF-resistant, respectively) RA patients.

Description
Interferon-alpha Kinoid (IFN-K) is a therapeutic vaccine composed of IFN-alpha2b coupled to a carrier protein. In a phase I/II placebo-controlled trial, we observed that IFN-K significantly decreases the IFN gene signature in whole blood RNA samples from SLE patients (see GSE39088). Here, we analyzed extended follow-up data from IFN-K-treated patients, in terms of persistence of neutralizing anti-IFN Abs, gene expression profiling and safety.

Description
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus are characterized by the spontaneous over-expression of interferon(IFN)-induced genes in peripheral blood RNA samples. In the present study, we wanted to study the evolution of the IFN gene signature in the peripheral blood of patients with lupus nephritis, before and after initiation of immunosuppressive therapy.

Description
Differential gene expression was analyzed for FACS sorted Math1::Cre; ROSA-tdTomato from hand dissected cochlear nuclei of wild type and Hoxa2/Hoxb2 mutant mice Overall design: In order to investigate the role of Hoxa2 and Hoxb2 transcription factors in a subset of cells of the cochlear nucleus, we generated double conditional knock-out by crossing the deleter line Math1::Cre crossed with Rosa tdTomato; Hoxa2fl/fl; Hoxb2fl/fl and Rosa tdTomato wild type background. FACS sorted cells from hand dissected cochlear nuclei were than processed and RNA-seq performed (see extract protocol and library construction protocol).

Description
We demonstrate that PKA signalling drives zonal conversion within adult adrenocortical lineage in a sexually dimorphic manner. Our data establish that Prkar1a genetic ablation (leading to constitutive PKA activation) in the adult adrenocortical lineage leads to endocrine hyperactivity and accelerates adrenal cortex renewal. This results in increased zona fasciculata differentiation and final conversion into reticularis-like zone. This phenomenon relies partly on sex-dependent mechanisms of cortical renewal, on which the male androgenic milieu exerts a repressive action through induction of WNT signalling, which in turn antagonizes PKA signalling and cortical cell turnover.

Description
A Single Cell Analysis of Myogenic Dedifferentiation Induced by Small Molecules An important direction in chemical biology is the derivation of compounds that affect cellular differentiation or its reversal. The fragmentation of multinucleate myofibers into viable mononucleates (called cellularisation) occurs during limb regeneration in urodele amphibians and the isolation of myoseverin, a tri-substituted purine that could apparently activate this pathway of myogenic dedifferentiation in mammalian cells, generated considerable interest. We have explored the mechanism and outcome of cellularisation at a single cell level, and report findings that significantly extend the previous work with myoseverin. Using a panel of compounds, including a novel triazine compound called 109 with structural similarity and comparable activity to myoseverin, we have identified microtubule disruption as critical for activation of the response. Our analysis has included the related control triazine compound 401, and the microtubule disrupting agent nocodazole. Time-lapse microscopy has enabled us to analyse the fate of identified mononucleate progeny, and directly assess the extent of dedifferentiation.
