Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Oxidative injury and inflammation have been implicated in the genesis of hypertension but the mechanisms involved are not fully understood. We describe a new pathway in which angiotensin II promotes dendritic cell (DC) activation of T cells and ultimately hypertension. NADPH oxidase-dependent superoxide production is increased 5-fold in DCs isolated from hypertensive mice as compared to sham-treated mice. This is associated with DC accumulation of protein-isoketal adducts and production of IL-6, IL-1 and IL-23. DCs from hypertensive mice but not sham mice promote survival and proliferation of CD8+ T cells in culture. Chemically diverse isoketal scavengers not only prevent activation and immunogenicity of DCs, but also attenuate angiotensin II-induced hypertension. Moreover, adaptive transfer of DCs from hypertensive mice prime development of hypertension in response to a subpressor dose of angiotensin II. Exposure of DCs to tert butyl hypdroperoxide promoted isoketal formation, DC stimulation of CD8+ T cell proliferation and primed hypertension in response to low dose angiotensin II. Serum isoprostanes, precursors to isoketals, were found to be elevated in humans with treated hypertension and were markedly elevated in patients with resistant hypertension. These studies show that angiotensin II-induced hypertension activates DCs, in large part by causing superoxide production and formation of isoketals. They define a new mechanism of hypertension and identify a potential new therapeutic approach for this disease.

Illumina HiSeq 2500
Description
Our goal was to transcriptionally profile Prdm1+ cell lineages of maternal and embryonic origin in mid-gestation mouse placenta in order to study vascular mimicry and additional processes in the placenta. Overall design: Profiling of 61 single cells and 17 clusters of 2 or 3 cells chosen based on expression of Prdm1, a paternally inherited Prdm1-Venus fluorescent reporter, progenitor trophoblast marker Gjb3 and spiral artery trophoblast giant cell marker Prl7b1.

- Illumina MouseWG-6 v2.0 expression beadchip
Description
Epiblast cells in the early post-implantation stage mammalian embryo undergo a transition described as lineage priming before cell fate allocation, but signaling pathways acting upstream remain ill defined. Genetic studies demonstrate that Smad2/3 double-mutant mouse embryos die shortly after implantation. To learn more about the molecular disturbances underlying this abrupt failure, here we characterised Smad2/3-deificient embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We found that Smad2/3 double-knockout ESCs induced to form epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs) display changes in nave and primed pluripotency marker gene expression, associated with the disruption of Oct4-bound distal regulatory element. In the absence of Smad2/3, we observed enhanced Bmp target gene expression and de-repression of extra-embryonic gene expression. Cell fate allocation into all three embryonic germ lakers is disrupted. Collectively, these experiments demonstrate that combinatorial Smad2/3 functional activities are required to maintain distinct embryonic and/or extra-embryonic cell identity during lineage priming in the epiblast before gastrulation.

- Affymetrix Chicken Genome Array (chicken)
Description
Modern functional genomic approaches may help to better understand the molecular events involved in tissue morphogenesis and to identify molecular signatures and pathways. We have recently applied transcriptomic profiling to evidence molecular signatures in the development of the normal chicken chorioallantoic membrane and in tumor engrafted on the CAM. We have now extended our studies by performing a transcriptome analysis in the wound model of the chicken CAM which is another relevant model of tissue morphogenesis. To induce granulation tissue formation, we performed wounding of the chicken CAM and compared gene expression to normal CAM at the same stage of development. Matched control samples from the same individual were used. We observed a total of 282 genes up-regulated and 44 genes downregulated assuming a false-discovery rate at 5 % and a fold change > 2. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis lead to the identification of several categories that are associated to organismal injury, tissue morphology, cellular movement, inflammatory disease, development and immune system. Endothelial cell data filtering leads to the identification of several new genes with an endothelial cell signature. In summary, the chick chorioallantoic wound model allows the identification of gene signatures involved in granulation tissue formation and neoangiogenesis. This may constitute a fertile ground for further studies.

Description
A prospective study was conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the University Children's hospital between September 1, 2008 and November 30, 2010. The entry criteria were (1) preterm birth below 32 weeks gestational age, (2) birthweight<1500g (VLBW). During the follow-up period, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was diagnosed in 68 (61%) infants, including 40 (36%) children with mild disease, 13 (12%) with moderate and 15 (13%) with severe BPD. Forty-three babies served as a control group (no BPD).
