Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Recognition and response to gram-positive bacteria by macrophages and dendritic cells is mediated in part through TLR2. We found that that Streptococcus pneumoniae cell wall fragments, containing primarily peptidoglycan and teichoic acids, induced prodigious secretion of IL-10 from macrophages and dendritic cells and was dependent on TLR2 and NOD2, a cytoplasmic CARD-NACHT-LRR protein encoded by Card15. IL-10 secretion in response to cell walls was also dependent on RICK/RIP2, a kinase associated with NOD2, and MYD88 but independent of the ERK/p38 pathway. The reduction of IL-10 secretion by cell wall-activated NOD2-deficient myeloidderived cells translated into downstream effects on IL-10 target gene expression and elevations in subsets of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression normally restrained by autocrine/paracrine effects of IL-10. Since NOD2 is linked to aberrant immune responses in Crohns Disease patients bearing mutations in CARD15, the temporal and quantitative effects of the TLR2/NOD/RICK pathway on IL-10 secretion may affect homeostatic control of immune responses to gram-positive bacteria.

Description
We perform microarray analysis of HUVECs upon stimulation with virulent wildtype C. albicans strain SC5314 or its efg1/efg1 cph1/cph1 hyphal-deficient derivative strain CAN34 to compare the gene expression profiles elicited from HUVECs in response to these strains. In addition, these responses are compared to that of TNF-alpha induced responses to determine which responses are Candida-specific.

Description
Aims/hypothesis Due to their ability to regulate various signalling pathways (cytokines, hormones, growth factors), the suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) proteins are thought to be promising therapeutic targets for metabolic and inflammatory disorders. Hence, their role in vivo has to be precisely determined.

Description
Extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP) is widely used to treat cutaneous T cell lymphoma, graft versus host disease and allografted organ rejection. Its clinical and experimental efficacy in both cancer immunotherapy and autoreactive disorders suggests a novel mechanism. This study reveals that ECP induces a high percentage of processed monocytes to enter the dendritic antigen presenting cell (DC) differentiation pathway, as determined by expression of relevant genes. The resulting DC are capable of processing and presentation of exogenous antigen and are largely maturationally synchronized, as assessed by the level of expression of co-stimulatory surface molecules. Principal component analysis of the ECP-induced monocyte transcriptome indicates that activation or suppression of more than 3500 genes produces a reproducible distinctive molecular signature. Pathway analysis suggests that DC maturation may be triggered by transient adherence of passaged monocytes to plasma proteins coating the ECP plastic ultraviolet exposure plate. Co-incubation with lymphocytes, simultaneously induced by ECP to undergo apoptosis, may accelerate conversion of monocytes to DC. The efficiency with which ECP induces new functional DC supports the possibility that these cells participate prominently in the clinical successes of the treatment. ECP may offer a practical source of DC for use in a spectrum of immunotherapeutic trials.

Description
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can enter different pathways in mammalian cells, including sequence-specific RNA interference, sequence-independent interferon response and editing by adenosine deaminases. To assess the potential of expressed dsRNA to induce interferon stimulated genes in somatic cells, we performed microarray analysis of HEK293 and HeLa cells transfected with a MosIR plasmid expressing an mRNA with a long inverted repeat structure in its 3UTR (MosIR) or with a parental MosIR plasmid (without inverted repeat) as a control.
