Description
We hypothesized that gene expression in lungs of Fra-1+/+ and Fra-1-/- mice are divergent thus contributing fibrosis. More specifically, Fra-1-/- mice are increased susceptible to fibrosis. In order to test these hypotheses at the gene expression level, we utilized microarray analysis to examine transcriptional differences between Fra-1+/+ and Fra-1-/- mice at early time point.

Description
Human prostate CWR22 OT-tumor cells were prospectively purified for expression of various stem cell markers (TRA-1-60/CD151/CD166/EpCAM/CD44/2-Integrin). Unsorted total tumor cells or the additional marker positive cells that do not manifest stem-like characteristics were used as control. All these cells were subjected to molecular profiling of total RNA expression and the fold change data are tabulated according to S/TFE of the purified cells in relation to their control.

Description
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is a disease characterized by ventricular hypertrophy, fibrosis, and aberrant systolic and/or diastolic function. Our laboratories have previously developed 2 mouse models that affect cardiac performance. One transgenic mouse model encodes an FHC-associated mutation in -tropomyosin (Tm180) that displays severe cardiac hypertrophy with fibrosis and impaired physiological performance. The other model was a gene knockout of phospholamban (PLB), a regulator of calcium uptake in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of cardiomyocytes; the hearts of these mice exhibit hypercontractility with no pathological abnormalities. Previous work in our laboratories show that the hearts of mice that were genetically crossed between the Tm180 and PLB KO mice rescues the hypertrophic phenotype and improves their cardiac morphology and function.

Description
Inhibin knockout (Inha-/-) female mice develop sex cord-stromal ovarian cancer with complete penetrance and previous studies demonstrate that the pituitary gonadotropins [follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)] are influential modifiers of granulosa cell tumor development and progression in inhibin-deficient females. Recent studies have demonstrated that Inha-/- ovarian follicles develop precociously to the early antral stage in prepubertal mice without any increase in serum FSH and these studies suggested that in the absence of inhibins, granulosa cells differentiate abnormally, and thus at sexual maturity may undergo an abnormal response to gonadotropin signaling. To test this hypothesis, we stimulated immature WT and Inha-/- female mice prior to gross tumor formation with gonadotropin analogs, and subsequently examined post-gonadotropin induced ovarian follicle development, as well as preovulatory and hCG-induced gene expression changes in granulosa cells. We find that at three weeks of age, inhibin-deficient ovaries do not show further antral development nor undergo cumulus expansion. Widespread alterations in the transcriptome of gonadotropin-treated Inha-/- granulosa cells suggest that gonadotropins initiate an improper program of cell differentiation in Inha-/- cells. Overall, our experiments reveal that inhibins are essential for the normal gonadotropin-dependent response of granulosa cells.

Description
To test the effect of silencing Rae1 on expression on RNA polymerase II transcripts, host mRNAs were analysed by cDNA microarrays. We hypothesized that if silencing Rae1 expression increases cellular resistance to inhibition of transcription in VSV infected cells, mRNA characteristic of host antiviral response would be increased than compared to cells transfected with control siRNA.

Description
Objective: Conflicting evidence exists regarding the suppressive capacity of Tregs from the peripheral blood (PB) of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our aim was to determine whether Tregs are intrinsically defective in RA using a wide range of read-out assays. Methods: CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs from CD45RO+ and CD45RA+ compartments of PB from patients with RA and healthy controls (HC) were analysed for phenotype, cytokine expression profile (ex vivo and after in vitro stimulation), suppression of effector T-cell proliferation and cytokine production, suppression of monocyte-derived cytokine/chemokine production, and gene expression profiling. Results: No differences were observed between patients with RA and HC regarding Treg frequency, ex vivo phenotype (CD4, CD25, CD127, CD39, CD161) or pro-inflammatory cytokine profile (IL-17, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha). FOXP3 expression was increased in Tregs from RA blood. The ability of Tregs to suppress T-cell proliferation or cytokine (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha) production upon co-culture with autologous CD45RO+ effector T-cells and monocytes was not significantly different between patients with RA and HC. CD45RO+ Tregs from RA blood showed a slightly impaired ability to suppress production of some cytokines/chemokines by autologous LPS-activated monocytes (IL-1-beta, IL-1Ra, IL-7, CCL3, CCL4), but this was not true for all patients and other cytokines/chemokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IL-15, CCL5) were suppressed in the majority of patients similarly to HC. Finally, gene expression profiling of CD45RA+ or CD45RO+ Tregs from PB revealed no statistically significant differences between patients with RA and HC. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that Tregs isolated from PB of patients with RA are not intrinsically defective.

Description
Immune responses in hemophilia A patients to replacement factor VIII can be either tolerogenic or immunogenic, the latter resulting in induction of non-neutralizing anti-factor VIII antibodies or neutralizing antibodies called inhibitors. Since these inhibitors render replacement FVIII treatment essentially ineffective, preventing or eliminating them are of top priority in disease management. The extended half-life recombinant factor VIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc) is an approved therapy for hemophilia A patients. In addition, it has been reported that rFVIIIFc can induce tolerance to FVIII in hemophilia A patients that have developed inhibitors. Given that the IgG1 Fc region has the potential to interact with immune cells expressing Fc receptors and thereby affect the immune response to rFVIII, we investigated how human macrophages, expressing both Fc receptors and receptors reported to bind FVIII, respond to rFVIIIFc. We show herein that rFVIIIFc, but not rFVIII, uniquely skews macrophages towards an alternatively activated regulatory phenotype. rFVIIIFc initiates signaling events that result in morphological changes, as well as a specific gene expression and metabolic profile that is characteristic of the regulatory type Mox/M2-like macrophages. Further, these changes are dependent on rFVIIIFc-Fc receptor interactions. Our findings elucidate mechanisms of potential immunomodulatory properties of rFVIIIFc. Overall design: Human monocyte-derived macrophages (n=3) were treated with hIgG1, rFVIII or rFVIIIFc for 6h
