The aim of this study is to analyze the transcriptome of epithelial (CD326+ enriched) and immune (CD45+ enriched) fraction in Celiac Disease and controls to find differentially expressed genes.
The methylome of the celiac intestinal epithelium harbours genotype-independent alterations in the HLA region.

View SamplesTo identify genes affected by mutant huntington protein, we performed mRNA-seq experiments with Striatal STHdh Q7/Q7, Q7Q111, and Q111/Q111 cells. We also tested the effect of Sp1 overexpression on rescuing gene expression in Q111/Q111 cells. Overall design: Striatal STHdh Q7/Q7, Q7/Q111 and Q111/Q111 cells were used for the mRNA-seq in replicates. After Sp1 transient overexpression in Q111/Q111 cells, cells were collected for mRNA-seq analysis.

View SamplesNZB/WF1 female mice spontaneously develop autoimmune lupus nephritis. Expression profiling of kidney tissue from (a) 12 week NZB/W F1 female mice defined as asymptomatic for lupus nephritis, (b) 36 and 42 week NZB/W F1 female mice defined as diseased/symptomatic for lupus nephritis and (c) 36 and 42 week NZB/W F1 female mice that are diseased/symptomatic for lupus nephritis and treated with Sirolimus was carried out. The goal of the study was to identify genes associated with lupus nephritis and modulated by Sirolimus, an inhibitor of mTOR. In addition, lupus nephritis genes resistant to Sirolimus therapy were also identfied

View SamplesSynovial fibroblasts in persistent inflammatory arthritis have been suggested to have parallels with cancer growth and wound healing, both of which involve a stereotypical serum response program. We tested the hypothesis that a serum response program can be used to classify diseased tissues, and investigated the serum response program in fibroblasts from multiple anatomical sites and two diseases. To test our hypothesis we utilized a bioinformatics approach to explore a publicly available microarray dataset including RA, OA and normal synovial tissue, then extended those findings in a new microarray dataset representing matched synovial, bone marrow and skin fibroblasts cultured from RA and OA patients undergoing arthroplasty. The classical fibroblast serum response program discretely classified RA, OA and normal synovial tissues. Analysis of low and high serum treated fibroblast microarray data revealed a hierarchy of control, with anatomical site the most powerful classifier followed by response to serum and then disease. In contrast to skin and bone marrow fibroblasts, exposure of synovial fibroblasts to serum led to convergence of RA and OA expression profiles. Pathway analysis revealed three inter-linked gene networks characterising OA synovial fibroblasts: Cell remodelling through insulin-like growth factors, differentiation and angiogenesis through 3 integrin, and regulation of apoptosis through CD44. We have demonstrated that Fibroblast serum response signatures define disease at the tissue level, and that an OA specific, serum dependent repression of genes involved in cell adhesion, extracellular matrix remodelling and apoptosis is a critical discriminator between cultured OA and RA synovial fibroblasts.

View SamplesThe highly aggressive muscle cancer alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is one of the most common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood, yet the outcome for unresectable and metastatic disease is dismal and unchanged for nearly 3 decades. To better understand the pathogenesis of this disease and to facilitate novel preclinical approaches, we previously developed a conditional mouse model of ARMS by faithfully recapitulating the genetic mutations observed in the human disease, i.e. activation of Pax3:Fkhr fusion gene with either p53 or Cdkn2a inactivation. In this report we show that this model recapitulates the immunohistochemical profile and the rapid progression of the human disease. We demonstrate that Pax3:Fkhr expression increases during late preneoplasia, but that tumor cells undergoing metastasis are under apparent selection for Pax3:Fkhr expression. At a whole genome level, a cross-species gene set enrichment analysis and metagene projection study showed that our mouse model is most similar to human ARMS when compared to other pediatric cancers. We have defined an expression profile conserved between mouse and human ARMS as well as a Pax3:Fkhr signature, including the target gene, SKP2. We further identified 7 druggable kinases over-expressed across species. The data affirms the accuracy of this genetically engineered mouse model.
