Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem immuno-inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that most commonly involves the lungs. We hypothesized that an unbiased approach to identify pathways activated in alveolar macrophagesa key immuno-inflammatory cell in the lungcan shed light on the pathogenesis of this complex disease.
Sarcoidosis activates diverse transcriptional programs in bronchoalveolar lavage cells.

View SamplesWe use RNAseq analysis as an un-biased and highly sensitive measurement of global transcriptomic changes upon the loss of HPX-2. The RNAseq result provided insights into the potential physiological processes HPX-2 is involved in. Overall design: L4 stage worms were exposed to E. faecalis or E. coli for 16 hours and total RNA was extracted for 5 biological replicates. Illumina Hiseq 4000 sequencer with 75 nt pair-ended read format was used to conduct the sequencing.

View SamplesTo assess the importance of the Wnt pathway during T cell develoment, we generated a mouse line (R26-cat) in which high levels of active -catenin are maintained throughout T cell development. Young R26-cat mice (6-week-old) show a differentiation block at the CD4+CD8+ DP stage. All R26-cat mice develop T cell leukemias with a DP phenotype at 5-6 months of age.

View SamplesAddition of CO2 to the inspired gas can ameliorate lung injury during high tidal volume mechanical ventilation in animal models. Although some effects of hypercapnia on physiology and cell signaling have been characterized, we hypothesized that assessment of genome-wide gene expression patterns would reveal novel pathways of protection.

View SamplesThe study demontrates differences in the transcriptome ( both of protein coding transcripts and long non-coding RNAs) in the unilateral ureteric obstruction model of renal fibrosis. Overall design: Renal tissue was studied from animals undergoing sham operation (as controls) or right ureteric ligation. Animals were sacrificed 2 and 8 days following ligation and the right kidney tissue was examined.

View SamplesThe goal of the present study was to compare hepatic toxicogenomic signatures across in vitro and in vivo mouse models following exposure to acetaminophen (APAP) or its relatively nontoxic regioisomer 3'-hydroxyacetanilide (AMAP). Two different Affymetrix microarray platforms and one Agilent Oligonucleotide microarray were utilized. APAP and AMAP treatments resulted in significant and large changes in gene expression that were quite disparate, and likely related to their different toxicologic profiles. Ten transcripts, all of which have been implicated in p53 signaling, were identified as differentially regulated at all time-points following APAP and AMAP treatments across multiple microarray platforms. Protein-level quantification of p53 activity aligned with results from the transcriptomic analysis, thus supporting the implicated mechanism of APAP-induced toxicity. Therefore, the results of this study provide good evidence that APAP-induced p53 phosphorylation and an altered p53-driven transcriptional response are fundamental steps in APAP-induced toxicity.

View SamplesOligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) reduce triglycerides in the nematode C. elegans. Lipase was strongly inhibited in vitro accompanied by the reduction of total triglyceride storage capacity in vivo; Lipophilic staining was also attenuated in wild type worms and high-fat mutants exposed to OPCs. Apart from biochemical analyses, lipid metabolism was also genetically regulated, emphasizing the necessity to study underlying regulation mechanisms in intact animals. To gain a deeper insight into the potential gene targets of purified oligomeric proanthocyanidin trimer gallate (pOPC7), a binary microarray assay was carried out with wild type N2 populations continuously exposed to a bacterial diet with or without pOPC7.
