Description
Pericytes derived from skin dermis can substantially enhance the short-term tissue-regenerative capacity of human epidermal cells already committed to differentiation; they also display both phenotypic and functional properties of mesenchymal stem cells. In this microarray analysis, we compared the gene expression profile of dermal pericytes to that of the remaining dermal cells of neonatal human foreskin.

Description
CD47 is a ubiquitous cell surface receptor that limits cell clearance by phagocytes that express its counter-receptor signal-regulatory protein-a and directly regulates T cell immunity by interacting with its inhibitory ligand thrombospondin-1. Murine natural killer (NK) cells express higher levels of CD47 than other lymphocytes, but the role of CD47 in regulating NK cell homeostasis and immune function remains unclear. Cd47-/- mice exhibited depletion of NK precursors in bone marrow, but antisense Cd47 knockdown or gene disruption resulted in a dose dependent accumulation of immature and mature NK cells in spleen. Cd47-/- mice were impaired in controlling chronic Clone-13 lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection, which was associated with depletion of splenic NK cells and loss of effector cytokine and interferon response gene expression in Cd47-/- NK cells. These data identify CD47 as a cell-intrinsic and systemic regulator of NK cell homeostasis and NK cell responses to viral infection. Overall design: Examining natural killer (NK) cell intrinsic role of CD47 during viral infection.

Description
Sustained spermatogenesis in adult males and recovery of fertility following germ cell depletion are dependent on undifferentiated spermatogonia with self-renewal potential. We have previously demonstrated a critical cell-autonomous role for Gilz in spermatogonial stem cell maintainance and spermatogenesis. To identify genes regulated by Gilz in the male germline, we have isolated undifferentiated spermatogonial cells from tamoxifen treated Gilzflox/flox (Control) and Gilzflox/flox UBC-CreER (TAM-KO) mice that will allow identification of genes mis-expressed upon loss of GILZ. Overall design: 4 independent sets of Gilzflox/flox (Control) and Gilzflox/flox UBC-CreER (TAM-KO) undifferentiated spermatogonia were isolated by flow sorting from adult mouse testes 7 days after treatment with tamoxifen.

Description
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a cardinal role in the immune system by suppressing detrimental autoimmune responses, but their role in acute and chronic infectious diseases remains unclear. We recently demonstrated that IFN-??? receptor (IFNAR) signaling promotes Treg function in autoimmunity. To dissect the functional role of IFNAR-signaling in Tregs during acute and chronic viral infection, we infected Treg-specific IFNAR deficient (IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre) mice with LCMV Armstrong and Clone-13. In both models, IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice Tregs expressed enhanced expression of Treg associated activation antigens. The enhanced activated phenotype was also seen when we compared the transcriptomes of IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre and wild type (WT) Tregs by RNA-Seq on day 25-post Clone-13 infection. LCMV-specific CD8+ T cells from IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice produced less antiviral IFN? and TNF? in both acute and chronic LCMV. In the chronic model, the numbers of anti-viral effector and memory CD8+ T cells were decreased in IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice and the effector CD4+ and CD8+ T cells exhibited a phenotype compatible with enhanced exhaustion. IFNARfl/flxFoxp3YFP-Cre mice cleared Armstrong infection normally, but had higher viral titers in sera, kidneys and lungs than WT mice during chronic infection. Thus, type I IFN signaling in Tregs is context-dependent, resulting in enhanced suppressor function in some models of autoimmunity, but decreased suppressor function in acute and chronic viral infection. Overall design: mRNA from Treg cells from 5 WT and 5 IFNAR deficient mice were analyzied by RNA-seq using Illumina HiSeq

The conditioned media from Bifidobacterium infantis (BCM) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (LCM) were reported to promote maturation of innate immune response gene expression, which explained the protective effects of probiotics in clinical necrotizing enterocolitis. We used microarray analysis to investigate the expression of genes involved in regulation of BCM and LCM in IL-1 stimulated immature human enterocytes.

Description
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is driven by somatic mutations and genomic rearrangements affecting >20 genes. Many of these are recent discoveries and how this molecular heterogeneity dictates AML pathophysiology and clinical outcome remains unclear. Methods: We sequenced 111 leukemia genes for driver mutations in 1540 AML patients with cytogenetic and clinical data. We modeled AMLs genomic structure, defining genetic interactions, patterns of temporal evolution and clinical correlations. Results: We identified 5,236 driver mutations involving 77 loci, including hotspot mutations in MYC. We found 1 driver mutation in 96% patients, and 2 in 85%. Gene mutations implicated in age related clonal hematopoiesis (DNMT3A, ASXL1, TET2) were the earliest in AML evolution, followed by highly specific and ordered patterns of co-mutation in chromatin, transcription and splicing regulators, NPM1 and signaling genes. The patterns of co-mutation compartmentalize AML into 12 discrete molecular classes, each presenting with distinct clinical manifestation. Amongst these, mutations in chromatin and spliceosome genes demarcate a molecularly heterogeneous subgroup enriched for older AML patients currently classified as intermediate risk and results in adverse prognosis. Two- and three-way genetic interactions often implicating rare genes/mutation-hotspots, markedly redefined clinical response and long-term curability, with the NPM1:DNMT3A:FLT3ITD genotype (6% patients) identifying poor prognosis disease, whereas within the same class NPM1:DNMT3A:NRASG12/13 (3%) associated with favorable outlooks. Conclusions: 79% of AML is molecularly classified in 12 genomic subgroups. These represent distinct molecular phylogenies, implicating complex genotypes. Delineation of higher-order genomic relationships, guide the development of personally tailored classification, prognostication and clinical protocols. Similar studies across cancer types are warranted.

Description
Uveal melanoma is an aggressive cancer that metastasizes to the liver in about half of patients, being at that time almost always fatal. Identification of patients at high risk of metastases may provide indication for a frequent follow-up for early detection of metastases and treatment. The analysis of the gene expression profiling of primary human uveal melanomas showed high expression of SDCBP (encoding for syndecan-binding protein-1 or syntenin-1), which appeared higher in patients with recurrence, whereas expression of syndecans was lower and unrelated to progression. Moreover, we found that high expression of SDCBP gene was related to metastatic progression in two additional independent dataset of uveal melanoma patients. More importantly, immunohistochemistry showed that high expression of syntenin-1 protein in primary tumours was significantly related to metastatic recurrence in our cohort of patients. Syntenin-1 expression was confirmed by RT-PCR, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry in cultured uveal melanoma cells or primary tumours. A pseudo-metastatic model of uveal melanoma to the liver was developed in NOD/SCID/IL2R null mice and the study of syntenin-1 expression in primary and metastatic lesions revealed higher syntenin-1 expression in metastases. The inhibition of SDCBP expression by siRNA impaired the ability of uveal melanoma cells to migrate in a woundhealing assay. These results suggest that SDCBP is involved in uveal melanoma progression and that it represents a candidate molecular marker of metastases and a potential therapeutic target.
