View SamplesThe lack of mouse models permitting the specific ablation of tissue-resident macrophages and monocyte-derived cells complicates understanding of their contribution to tissue integrity and to immune responses. Here we use a new model permitting diphtheria-toxin (DT)-mediated depletion of those cells and in which dendritic cells are spared. We showed that the myeloid cells of the mouse ear skin dermis are dominated by a population of melanin-laden macrophages, called melanophages, that has been missed in most previous studies. By using gene expression profiling, DT-mediated ablation and parabiosis, we determined their identity including their similarity to other skin macrophages, their origin and their dynamics. Limited information exist on the identity of the skin cells responsible for long-term tattoo persistence. Benefiting of our knowledge on melanophages, we showed that they are responsible for retaining tattoo pigment particles through a dynamic process which characterization has direct implications for improving strategies aiming at removing tattoos.
Unveiling skin macrophage dynamics explains both tattoo persistence and strenuous removal.

View SamplesIn this study, we used the Affymetrix HG-U133A 2.0 GeneChip for deriving a multigenic classifier capable of predicting HCV+cirrhosis with vs without concomitant HCC.

View SamplesThe aim of the dataset was to study on a genome-wide level the impact of Lat deficiency on gene expression in resting and activated CD4+ T cells
Quantitative proteomics analysis of signalosome dynamics in primary T cells identifies the surface receptor CD6 as a Lat adaptor-independent TCR signaling hub.

View SamplesIntroduction: 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 SamplesThe goal of this experiment is to analyze global gene expression profiles during the cell cycle after acute depletion of E2F7. Overall design: RNA was isolated at three time-points following exit from cell cycle arrest, which represent G1/S transition (0h), S phase (3h) and G2/M boundary (12h) of the cell cycle in cells transfected with siRNAs specific for E2F7 (siE2F7) or with non-target control siRNAs (siNT)
An E2F7-dependent transcriptional program modulates DNA damage repair and genomic stability.

View SamplesThe molecular basis of calcineurin inhibitor toxicity (CNIT) in kidney transplantation (KT) and its contribution to chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD) with interstitial fibrosis (IF) and tubular atrophy (TA) were evaluated.
Evaluation of molecular profiles in calcineurin inhibitor toxicity post-kidney transplant: input to chronic allograft dysfunction.
