Description
Autoantibodies that arise in autoimmunity can be present years to decades prior to the onset of disease manifestations. This suggests that the initial autoimmune trigger involves a peripheral lymphoid component, which then drives disease pathology in local tissues later in life. To explore the impact of early peripheral immune dysregulation on the progression of Sjgrens Syndrome, we blocked the CD40-CD40L pathway in young female NOD.H-2h4 mice at 4 weeks of age with a single injection of anti-CD40L antibody, and collected total salivary gland at the age of week 8, 16 and 24. RNA was extracted and submitted to transcriptome profiling using Affymetrix microarray.

Description
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic ß cells. Mounting evidence supports a central role for ß-cell alterations in triggering the activation of self-reactive T-cells in T1D. However, the early deleterious events that occur in ß cells, underpinning islet autoimmunity are not known. We hypothesized that epigenetic modifications induced in ß cells by inflammatory mediators play a key role in initiating the autoimmune response. We analyzed DNA methylation (DNAm) patterns and gene expression in human islets exposed to IFNa, a cytokine associated with T1D development. We found that IFNa triggers DNA demethylation and increases expression of genes controlling inflammatory and immune pathways. We then demonstrated that DNA demethylation was caused by up-regulation of the exoribonuclease, PNPase Old-35 (PNPT1), which caused degradation of miR-26a. This in turn promoted the up-regulation of ten-eleven translocation TET2 enzyme and increased 5-hydoxymethylcytosine levels in human islets and pancreatic ß-cells. Moreover, we showed that specific IFNa expression in the ß cells of IFNa-INS1CreERT2 transgenic mice, led to development of T1D that was preceded by increased islet DNA hydroxymethylation through a PNPT1/TET2-dependent mechanism. Our results suggest a new mechanism through which IFNa regulates DNAm in ß cells, leading to changes in expression of genes in inflammatory and immune pathways that can initiate islet autoimmunity in T1D. Overall design: We exposed human pancreatic islets from three donors to 2000 IU IFNa and assessed gene expression by RNAseq. The cDNA library was prepared using Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kits. Next generation sequencing was performed on Illumina HiSeq2000 using the Single-Read Cluster Generation kit v2 and SBS Sequencing kit v3. Image analysis and base calling were conducted using the SDS 2.5/RTA1.5 software.

Description
Deletion of the Ikaros DNA-binding domain generates dominant-negative isoforms that interfere with Ikaros family activity and correlate with poor prognosis in human precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (B-ALL). Here, we show that conditional inactivation of the Ikaros DNA binding domain in early pre-B cells arrests their differentiation at a stage where integrin-dependent niche adhesion augments mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, proliferation, and self-renewal, and attenuates pre-B cell receptor signaling and differentiation. Transplantation of polyclonal Ikzf1 mutant pre-B cells results in long-latency oligoclonal pre-B-ALL, demonstrating that loss of Ikaros contributes to multistep B-leukemogenesis. These results explain how normal pre-B cells transit from a highly proliferative and stromal-dependent to a stromal-independent phase where differentiation is enabled, providing potential therapeutic strategies for IKZF1 mutant B-ALL. Overall design: One of the analyses described in this manuscript is the differential gene expression of large preB cells sorted from the bone marrow of WT and IKDN mice. The RNASeq method and Deseq analysis algorithm were employed

Description
Human mucosal surfaces contain a wide range of microorganisms. The biological effects of these organisms are largely unknown. Large-scale metagenomic sequencing is emerging as a method to identify novel microbes. Unexpectedly, we identified DNA sequences homologous to virus ATCV-1, an algal virus not previously known to infect humans, in oropharyngeal samples obtained from healthy adults. The presence of ATCV-1 was associated with a modest but measurable decrease in cognitive functioning. A relationship between ATCV-1 and cognitive functioning was confirmed in a mouse model, which also indicated that exposure to ATCV-1 resulted in changes in gene expression within the brain. Our study indicates that viruses in the environment not thought to infect humans can have biological effects.

Description
In this study, we examined transcriptional profiles from 3 different microarray platforms, across 103 peripheral blood samples with and without acute rejection, to find a critical gene-set for the diagnosis of acute renal rejection that matched biopsy diagnosis, irrespective of patient demographics, clinical confounders, concomitant infection, immunosuppression usage or sample processing methods. We hypothesized that changes in peripheral blood expression profiles correlate with biopsy-proven rejection, and that these changes could be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prediction of acute rejection.
