Description
Memory helper T cells provide long-lasting host defeMemory helper T cells provide long-lasting host defense against microbial pathogens, while distinct subpopulations of memory T cells drive chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma. Asthma is a chronic allergic inflammatory disease with airway remodeling including fibrotic changes. The immunological mechanisms that induce airway fibrotic changes in allergic inflammation remain unknown. We found that Interleukin-33 (IL-33) enhanced Amphiregulin production by the IL-33 receptor, ST2hi memory T helper-2 (Th2) cells. Amphiregulin-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mediated signaling directly reprogramed eosinophils to an inflammatory state with enhanced production of Osteopontin, a key profibrotic immunomodulatory protein. IL-5-producing memory Th2 cells and Amphiregulin-producing memory Th2 cells appeared to cooperate to establish lung fibrosis. The analysis of polyps from patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis revealed fibrosis with accumulation of Amphiregulin-producing CRTH2hiCD161hiCD45RO+CD4+ Th2 cells and Osteopontin-producing eosinophils. Thus, the IL-33-Amphiregulin-Osteopontin axis directs fibrotic responses in eosinophilic airway inflammation and is a potential target for the treatment of fibrosis induced by chronic allergic disorders. against microbial pathogens, while distinct subpopulations of memory T cells drive chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma.

Description
Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived skin transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to determine pathways and networks dependent on retinoic acid during skin development. Methods: Skin mRNA profiles of embryonic day E16.5 wild-type (WT) and Cyp26b1 knockout (Cyp26b1-/-), and of control and of dermal and epidermal skin fractions of Engrailed1cre;Cyp26b1f/- (En1cre;Cyp26b1f/-) conditional knockout mice were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assay. Results: RNA-Seq data were generated with Illumina’s HiSeq 2000 system. Raw sequencing data were processed with CASAVA 1.8.2 to generate fastq files. Reads of 50 bases were mapped to the mouse transcriptome and genome mm9 using TopHat 1.3.2. Gene expression values (RPKM) were calculated with Partek Genomics Suite 6.6, which was also used for the ANOVA analysis to determine significantly differentially expressed genes. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of Cyp26b1-/- skin and En1cre;Cyp26b1f/- dermis/epidermic transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions. Overall design: Skin mRNA profiles of embryonic-day 16.5 wild type (WT) and Cyp26b1-/- mice and of dermis and epidermis of embryonic day 18.5 control and En1cre;Cyp26b1f/- were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000.

Description
During embryogenesis, many key transcription factors are used repeatedly, achieving different outcomes depending on cell type and developmental stage. The epigenetic modification of the genome functions as a memory of a cells developmental history, and it has been proposed that such modification shapes the cellular response to transcription factors. To investigate the role of DNA methylation in the response to transcription factor Gata4, we examined expression profiles of Dnmt3a-/-Dnmt3b-/- ES cell-derived mesoderm cells cultured for 4 days with or without Gata4 activation, as well as the wild-type counterparts, using Affymetrix microarrays.

Description
Several groups have reported the existence of a form of pluripotency that resembles that of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), i.e., a naïve state, in human pluripotent stem cells; however, the characteristics vary between reports. The nuclear receptor ESRRB is expressed in mESCs and plays a significant role in their self-renewal, but its expression has not been observed in most naïve-like human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). In this study, we modified several methods for converting hiPSCs into a naïve state through the transgenic expression of several reprogramming factors. The resulting cells express the components of the core transcriptional network of mESCs, including ESRRB, at high levels, which suggests the existence of naïve-state hiPSCs that are similar to mESCs. We also demonstrate that these cells differentiate more readily into neural cells than do conventional hiPSCs. These features may be beneficial for their use in disease modeling and regenerative medicine. Overall design: RNA-seq of primed and naïve-like hiPSCs in 3 biological replicates respectively.

Description
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells give rise to neural stem cells, which are applicable for therapeutic transplantation in treatment of neural diseases. However, generation of neural stem cells from iPS cells requires a careful selection of safe iPS clones. We sought to determine whether direct induction of neural stem cells from partially reprogrammed somatic cells is able to generate safer cells rapidly. We have successfully established direct induction system from fibroblast to neural stem cells. To characterize these directly induced neural stem cells, Gene expression profiles were compared with iPS cell or ES cell-derived neurosphere. We used affymetrix microarrays to compare the global gene expression of neurospheres prepared several method.

Description
Recent reports have emphasized the pitfalls of iPSC technology including the potential for immunogenicity of transplanted cells. It is serious safety-related concern for iPSC-based cell therapy. However, preclinical data supporting the safety and efficacy of iPSCs are also accumulating. To address the concern of immunogenicity of ESCs/iPSCs or ESCs/iPSCs-derived neurospheres, global gene expression profiles were compared between undifferentiated mouse ESCs (EB3 line), mouse iPSCs (38C2 line), and ESC/iPSC-derived neurosphere and mouse primary culture of neurosphere obtained from fetal mouse ganglionic eminence. Mouse adult sklin fibroblast was used as a control.

Description
piRNAs direct Piwi to repress transposons to maintain genome integrity in Drosophila ovarian somatic cells. piRNA maturation and association with Piwi occur at perinuclear Yb bodies, the centers of piRNA biogenesis. Here, we show that piRNA intermediates arising from the piRNA cluster flamenco (flam) concentrate into perinuclear foci adjacent to Yb bodies, termed Flam bodies. Although flam expression is not required for Yb body formation, Yb, the core component of Yb bodies, is required for Flam body formation. Abolishment of the RNA-binding activity of Yb disrupts both Yb bodies and Flam bodies. Loss of Zucchini, an endoribonuclease necessary for piRNA maturation, enlarges Flam bodies, which now superimpose with Yb bodies. Yb directly binds flam, but not neighboring protein-coding gene, transcripts. Thus, Yb integrates piRNA processing factors and piRNA intermediates into Yb bodies and Flam bodies, respectively, through direct binding to enhance piRNA biogenesis and formation of piRNA-inducing silencing complexes. Overall design: HITS-CLIP was performed using OSC (Ovarian Somatic Cells). The antibody for Drosophila Yb, which was generated in this study, was used. Obtained CLIP tags were analyzed using illumina HiSeq200.
