Description
In this study, a genetically repressed VEGF mouse model was used to analyze uterus transcriptome at G2.5 (gestation day 2.5) by Solexa/ Illumina’s digital gene expression (DGE) system. 831 uterus-specific and 2398 VEGF regulated genes were identified. Gene ontology analysis indicated that genes actively involved in uterus development were members of collagen biosynthesis, cell proliferation and cell apoptosis. Uterus-specific genes were enriched in activities of phosphatidyl inositol phosphate kinase, histone H3-K36 demethylation and protein acetylation. Among VEGF regulated genes, up-regulated genes were associated with RNA polymerase III activity while down-regulated genes were strongly associated with muscle development.Comparable numbers of antisense RNA transcripts were also identified. Expression levels of the antisense RNAs were found tightly correlated with their sense expression levels, an indication of possibly non-specific transcripts generated around the active promoters and enhancers. The antisense RNAs with exceptionally high or low expression levels and the antisense RNAs under VEGF regulation were also identified. These transcripts may be important candidates in regulation of uterus development. This study provides a global survey on genes and antisense transcripts regulated by VEGF in the pre-implantation stage. Results will contribute to the further studies of candidate genes and pathways in regulating implantation process and related diseases. Overall design: Uteri mRNA profiles of G2.5 VEGF-normal (Dox+) and VEGF-repression (Dox-) were generated by Solexa/ Illumina’s digital gene expression (DGE) system.

Description
Macrophage polarization between the M2 (repair, pro-tumorigenic) and M1 (inflammatory) phenotypes is seen as a continuum of states. The detailed transcriptional events and signals downstream of CSF-1R that contribute to amplification of the M2 phenotype and suppression of the M1 phenotype are largely unknown. Macrophage CSF-1R pTyr-721 signaling promotes cell motility and enhancement of tumor cell invasion in vitro. Combining analysis of cellular systems for CSF-1R gain-of-function and loss-of-function with bioinformatic analysis of the macrophage CSF-1R pTyr-721-regulated transcriptome, we uncovered miR-21 as a downstream molecular switch controlling macrophage activation and identified ERK1/2 and NF-B as CSF-1R pTyr-721-regulated signaling nodes. We show that CSF-1R pTyr-721 signaling suppresses the proinflammatory phenotype, predominantly by induction of miR-21. Profiling of the miR-21-regulated mRNAs revealed that 80% of the CSF-1-regulated canonical miR-21 targets are pro-inflammatory molecules. Additionally, miR-21 positively regulates M2 marker expression. Moreover, miR-21 feeds back to positively regulate its own expression and to limit CSF-1R-mediated activation of ERK1/2 and NF-B. Consistent with an anti-inflammatory role of miRNA-21, intraperitoneal injection of mice with a miRNA-21 inhibitor increases the recruitment of inflammatory monocytes and enhances the peritoneal monocyte/macrophage response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Description
Acute lung inflammation can alter the pulmonary function of susceptible individuals and exacerbate the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory lung diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis and asthma. Exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or endotoxin, a constituent of outer cell membrane of gram negative bacteria, induces airway inflammation that is primarily characterized by increased polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) at early time points. Because LPS is present in variety of occupational and home environments and is an active constituent of cigarette smoke it is a risk factor for increasing prevalence and severity of non-occupational COPD, for adult onset of asthma and for wheezing in children. In airway epithelial cells, LPS stimulation increases mucin gene expression and mucous production. Hypersecretion of mucus overwhelms the ciliary clearance and obstructs airways, causing morbidity and mortality in chronic inflammatory respiratory lung diseases. In addition, acute bacterial infection contributes to the exacerbation of chronic airway diseases, specifically in advanced COPD and CF subjects, leading to increased healthcare burden and higher mortality. Bcl-2, a prosurvival protein that inhibits cell death plays a key role in normal cellular homeostasis and regulates the integrity of the mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Gain- and loss-of-function studies showed that Bcl-2 expression sustains hyperplastic epithelial cells, and Bcl-2 expression is elevated in airway epithelial cells of subjects with cystic fibrosis and asthma. The present study investigated which inflammatory mediators induce mucous cell metaplasia and Bcl-2 expression following LPS exposure. Microarray analyses of mRNA from airway epithelial cells captured by laser microdissection from rat lungs snap-frozen at day 0 and 2 post LPS exposure were analyzed.
