Description
Neuronal, endocrine and exocrine cells exhibit regulated exocytosis but there is also a body of evidence for regulated exocytosis from other cell types. Myofibroblasts are a stromal cell type that secretes extracellular matrix proteins, growth factors and cytokines; they are important in wound healing and increasingly are recognised to play a role in modifying the cellular microenvironment in cancer. We have established calcium dependent regulated secretion in a subset of myofibroblasts from gastric cancers, adjacent tissue and from normal tissue. We have used microarrays to look for the expression of genes associated with the regulated secretory phenotype.

Description
The aim of this study was to establish an in vitro model to investigate the initial stages of human implantation based on co-culture of a) immortalized cells representing the receptive (Ishikawa) or non-receptive (HEC-1-A) endometrial epithelium with b) spheroids of a trophoblastic cell line (JEG-3) modified to express green fluorescent protein. After co-culturing Ishikawa cells with trophoblast spheroids, 310 and 298 genes increased or decreased their expression compared to non-co-cultured Ishikawa control cells, respectively; only 9 genes (5 increased and 4 decreased) were differentially expressed in HEC-1-A upon co-culture with trophoblast spheroids. Compared to HEC-1-A, the trophoblast challenge to Ishikawa cells differentially regulated the expression of 495 genes. In summary, upon co-culture with the trophoblast spheroids, non-receptive epithelium is characterized by a muted transcriptional response which in turn fails to activate the full transcriptional response that trophoblast spheroids undergo when co-cultured with receptive epithelium. Overall design: GFP expressing JEG-3 spheroids were co-cultured with confluent monolayers of receptive Ishikawa or non-receptive HEC-1-A epithelia. After 48 hours of co-culture, GFP+ (trophoblast JEG-3 spheroid cells) and GFP- cell fractions (receptive Ishikawa or non-receptive HEC-1-A epithelial cells) were isolated by fluorescence-activated flow cytometry (FACS). The specific transcriptional changes of the isolated cell populations were analyzed by RNA-seq profiling. Statistical significance of gene expression differences was set at an absolute log2 fold change (log2FC) =1 and an adjusted p-value <0.05.

Description
Recent genetic studies in mice have established a key role for the nuclear receptor coregulator Trim24 in liver tumor suppression and provided evidence that Trim24 suppresses hepatocarcinogenesis by inhibiting retinoic acid receptor alpha (Rara)-dependent transcription and cell proliferation. However, it is unknown which downstream targets of Rara regulated by Trim24 are critical for tumorigenesis. We report here that loss of Trim24 results in the overexpression of interferon (IFN)/STAT pathway genes in the liver, a process that occurs early in tumorigenesis and is more pronounced in tumors, despite the enhanced expression, late in the disease, of negative regulators such as Usp18, Socs1 and Socs2.

Description
The comparison of trancriptomes was part of the study by Pfender, Kuznetsov, Pasternak et al, titled: "Live imaging RNAi screen reveals genes essential for meiosis in mammalian oocytes". The goal was to check if the oocytes cultured in vitro in follicles (for RNAi studies) correspond to real gametes obtained directly from mice (in vivo). Apart from functional experiments showing that they can be fertilized and develop into an embryo, we also compared transcriptomes of those oocytes. Overall design: 3 samples of 50 oocytes were collected for both groups of in vitro and in vivo grown oocytes.

Description
Rationale: Despite shortening vasopressor use in shock, hydrocortisone administration remains controversial, with potential harm on the immune system. Few studies assessed hydrocortisone impact on the transcriptional response in shock, and we are lacking data in burns. Objectives: To assess the hydrocortisone-induced transcriptional modulation in severe burn shock, particularly on the immune response. Methods: We collected whole blood samples (n= 117) during a randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy of hydrocortisone administration on burn shock. Using whole genome microarrays, we first compared burn patients from the placebo group (n=15) to healthy volunteers (n=13) to describe the transcriptional modulation induced by burn shock over the first week. Then we compared burn patients randomized for either hydrocortisone administration (n=15) or placebo (n=15) to assess hydrocortisone-induced modulation. Measurements and Main Results: Study groups were similar in terms of severity and major outcomes, but shock duration (significantly reduced in the hydrocortisone group). Many genes (n=2250) were differentially expressed between burn patients and healthy volunteers, with 85% of them exhibiting a profound and persistent modulation over seven days. Interestingly, we showed that hydrocortisone enhanced the shock-associated repression of adaptive, but also innate immunity. Conclusions: We found that the initial host response to burn shock encompasses a wide and persistent modulation of gene expression, with profound modulation of pathways associated with metabolism and immunity. Importantly, hydrocortisone administration may worsen the immunosuppression associated with severe injury. These data should be taken into account in the risk ratio of hydrocortisone administration in patients with inflammatory shock.

Description
Using mice with targeted gene mutations, we identify (1) distinct roles for different canonical Wnt signaling components in central nervous system (CNS) vascular development and in the specification of the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers (BBB and BRB) and (2) differential sensitivities of the vasculature in various CNS regions to perturbations in canonical Wnt signaling components. We find nearly equivalent roles for Lrp5 and Lrp6 in brain vascular development and barrier maintenance but a dominant role for Lrp5 in the retinal vasculature, an especially high sensitivity of the BBB in the cerebellum and pons/interpeduncular nuclei to decrements in canonical Wnt signaling, and plasticity in the barrier properties of mature CNS vasculature. Brain and retinal vascular defects caused by loss of Norrin/Frizzled4 signaling can be fully rescued by stabilizing beta-catenin, and loss of beta-catenin’s transcriptional activation domain or expression of a dominant negative Tcf4 recapitulates the vascular development and barrier defects seen with loss of receptor, co-receptor, or ligand, indicating that Norrin/Frizzled4 signaling acts predominantly by beta-catenin-dependent transcriptional regulation. This work strongly supports a model in which identical or nearly identical canonical Wnt signaling mechanisms mediate neural tube and retinal vascularization and maintain the BBB and BRB. Overall design: Total retina RNA from P10 WT, NdpKO, Ctnnb1flex3/+;Pdgfb-CreER, and NdpKO;Ctnnb1flex3/+;Pdgfb-CreER mice was subjected to RNAseq
