View SamplesTo find regulated genes during peak inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we have collected synovium from mouse Serum Transfer Arthtitis (STA) model at day 0 (Non Arthritic) and day 10 (Peak Inflammation).

View SamplesRegulatory T cells (Treg) represent a critical immunoregulatory component of the immune system. The signals that maintain Treg stability and potentiate their function remain obscure. Here we show that the immune cell surface ligand semaphorin-4a (Sema4a)
Stability and function of regulatory T cells is maintained by a neuropilin-1-semaphorin-4a axis.

View SamplesOur goal was to identify early genetic changes in the development of autoimmune dysfunction. WT and IL-2-KO CD8 T cells were sorted from the lymph node and spleen of 12-day old mice. Total RNA was isolated by Expression Analysis Inc. using Illumina TrueSeq Stranded Total RNA Sample Preparation Kit. Eight samples were sequenced (four biological replicates of IL-2-KO and WT/HET mice), producing 2X50 paired-end reads using the Illumine HiSeq 2500 platform. Raw reads were provided by Expression Analysis. We identified several genetic signatures within the bulk data including a cytolyic pattern and a novel gene expression pattern indicating a helper-like function.

View SamplesAPRIL (TNFSF13) is a ligand of the TNF superfamily which binds to two receptors, BCMA and TACI. We have found that APRIL and its receptor BCMA are specifically enhanced in hepatocellular carcinoma, as compared to non-cancerous liver tissue. We further identified that HepG2 cells present the same ligand/receptor pattern as human hepatocellular carcinomas. We investigated the role of APRIL in HepG2 gene expression in a time course study.
APRIL binding to BCMA activates a JNK2-FOXO3-GADD45 pathway and induces a G2/M cell growth arrest in liver cells.

View SamplesQuiescent and dividing hemopoietic stem cells (HSC) display marked differences in their ability to move between the peripheral circulation and the bone marrow. Specifically, long-term engraftment potential predominantly resides in the quiescent HSC subfraction, and G-CSF mobilization results in the preferential accumulation of quiescent HSC in the periphery. In contrast, stem cells from chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients display a constitutive presence in the circulation. To understand the molecular basis for this, we have used microarray technology to analyze the transcriptional differences between dividing and quiescent, normal, and CML-derived CD34+ cells.

View SamplesWe have used deep sequencing to explore the repertoire of both poly(A)+ and poly(A)- RNAs from two standard cell lines, HeLa cells and human embryonic stem cell (hESC) H9 cells. Overall design: Examination of nonpolyadenylated and polyadenylated in 2 cell types.
Genomewide characterization of non-polyadenylated RNAs.

View SamplesNitric oxide (NO) regulated pulmonary vascular function and structure, in part, via its effect on gene expression. We used microarrays to determine the up- and downregulated genes in rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells exposed to the NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) for 1, 2, and 4 hours.
