View SamplesThis experiment aims to identify the biological pathways and diseases associated with the cytokine Interleukin 13 (IL-13) using gene expression measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Overall design: The experiment comprised of samples obtained from 3 healthy donors. The expression profiles of in vitro IL-13 stimulation were generated using RNA-seq technology for 3 PBMC samples at 24 hours. The transcriptional profiles of PBMCs without IL-13 stimulation were also generated to be used as controls. An IL-13R-alpha antagonist (Redpath et al. Biochemical Journal, 2013) was introduced into IL-13 stimulated PBMCs and the gene expression levels after 24h were profiled to examine the neutralization of IL-13 signaling by the antagonist.
Combining multiple tools outperforms individual methods in gene set enrichment analyses.

View SamplesG-CSF is a hemopoietic growth factor that has a role in steady state granulopoiesis, as well as in mature neutrophil activation and function. We developed a neutralizing monoclonal antibody to the murine G-CSF receptor (G-CSFR), which antagonizes binding of murine G-CSF and inhibits G-CSFR signalling. Anti-G-CSFR rapidly halts the progression of established disease in collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAbIA). Neutrophil accumulation in joints is inhibited, without rendering animals neutropenic, suggesting an effect on homing to inflammatory sites. Neutrophils in the blood and arthritic joints of anti-G-CSFR treated mice show alterations in cell adhesion receptors, while anti-G-CSFR suppresses local production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines known to drive tissue damage. Our aim in this study was to use differential gene expression analysis of joint and blood neutrophils to more thoroughly understand the effect of G-CSFR blockade on the inflammatory response following anti-G-CSFR therapy in CAbIA.

View SamplesC. elegans GLD-2 forms an active PAP with multiple RNA-binding partners to regulate diverse aspects of germline and early embryonic development. One GLD-2 partner, RNP-8, was previously shown to influence oocyte fate specification. To identify transcripts selectively associated with both GLD-2 and RNP-8, we employ a genomic approach using the method of RNA immunoprecipitation followed by microarray analysis (RIP-chip).
GLD-2/RNP-8 cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase is a broad-spectrum regulator of the oogenesis program.

View SamplesIKK kinase is essential for the B cell maturation and secondary lymphoid organ development. In the current study, we evaluated the role of IKK in the marginal zone and follicular B lymphocyte development by genetically deleting IKK from the B cell lineage using CD19-Cre mice. The loss of IKK did not affect the normal development of early B cell progenitors. However, a significant decline was observed in the percentage of immature B lymphocytes, mature marginal zone and follicular B cells along with a severe disruption of splenic marginal and follicular B cell zones. A gene expression analysis performed on the RNA extracted from the newly formed B cells (B220+IgMhi) revealed that IKK deficiency produces significant changes in the expression of genes involved in MZ and FO B lymphocyte survival, homing and migration. And several among those genes identified belong to G protein family. Specifically, we validated the upregulated expression of regulator of G protein signaling 13 (RGS13), which is a GTPase activating protein (GAP) that negatively regulates G protein signaling and impede B cell migration. Likewise, promigratory B lymphocyte receptor, the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 3 (SIPR3) that couple to Gi showed significantly reduced expression. In addition, an in silico analysis of gene product interactions revealed NF-B signaling pathways to be a major gene regulating networks perturbed with IKK deletion. Taken together, this study reveals IKKNF-B and G protein signaling axis to be central for the MZ and FO B cells survival, maintenance, homing and migration.
IKKα deficiency disrupts the development of marginal zone and follicular B cells.
