This study demonstrates that arthritis and heart valve stenosis comorbidity, the most common condition among RA and SpA patients, share common mesenchymal requirements converging in the pathogenic activation of resident mesenchymal origin fibroblasts in the Tnf?ARE mouse model. TNFR2 signaling, in this context, orchestrates the molecular mechanisms underlying arthritis and heart valve stenosis manifestation by regulating fibroblasts pathogenic activation status, cell proliferation and pro-inflammatory milieu. Finally this work highlights the complexity of TNFR2 functions since mesenchymal signaling is detrimental, whereas systemic TNFR2 provides protective signals that contain both pathologies Overall design: 3' RNA-Seq (QuantSeq) profiling of 2 cell types (SFs,VICs) in two different genotypes (TNF-DeltaARE, ColVIp75f/f-TNF-DeltaARE) and Wild type as control. 3 replicates per group.

View SamplesCharacterization of the underlying genetic defects in patients with a rare and peculiar phenotype is challenging. Here we have utilized whole genome expression profiling, and identified a homozygous germline mutation in the DDB2 gene in a patient with several facial tumors. The feasibility of using blood derived RNA, diminishing costs of the technology, and the limited number of samples needed provide this approach a powerful new tool that may substantially aid in such gene identification efforts.

View SamplesPlant hormones interact with each other and regulate gene expression to control plant growth and development. To understand the complex network, accumulation of comprehensive and integrative data of gene expression and hormone concentration is important. Using microarray, global gene expression profile was analyzed to compare with plant hormone concentration in 14 parts of rice at reproductive stage.

View SamplesThe epiblast (foremost embryonic ectoderm) generates all three germ layers and therefore has crucial roles in the formation of all mammalian body cells. Regulation of epiblast gene expression is poorly understood due to the difficulty of manipulating epiblast tissues in vivo. In the present study, using the self-organizing properties of embryonic stem cells (ESCs), we generated and characterized epiblast-like tissue in three-dimensional (3D) culture. We identified significant genome-wide expression changes in this epiblast-like tissue. Additionally, we identified the significance of the Fgf/Erk and ectoderm formation pathways, using the bioinformatics resource IPA and DAVID. We first focused on Fgf5, which ranked in the top 10 among discovered genes. Toward functional analysis of Fgf5, we developed efficient methods of genome engineering (CRISPR/Cas9) and RNA interference (RNAi). Notably, we show one-step generation of an Fgf5 reporter line, null and in/del mutants. Furthermore, mutation types correlated well with CRISPR/Cas9 activity. For time- and dose-dependent depletion of Fgf5 over the course of development, we generated an ESC line harboring a drug-inducible short hairpin RNA cassette integrated by the Tol2 transposon system (pRNAi). Our methods provide a framework for a broad array of applications in the areas of mammalian genetics and molecular biology to understand development and to improve future therapeutics.
