Description
To understand the the effect of antagomir-17 treatment on human endothelial cells derived from human umbilical cord blood (UCB) CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells, we have employed mRNA sequencing. The antagomiR-17 used in this study was purchased from Dharmacon and cell transfection was performed using Lipofectamine RNAiMAx from Life Technologies. Scramble antagomiR from Ambion was used as control. Cells were transfected with antagomiR-17 or scrambled antagomiR for 48 hours. After 48 h, the cells were collected, RNA was isolated and RNA samples were shipped to Exiqon Services, Denmark for mRNA sequencing. All sequencing experiments (RNA integrity measurements, library preparation and next generation sequencing) were conducted at Exiqon Services, Denmark. Overall design: CD34+ endothelial cells differentiated from umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (CD34+) were treated with 50 nM antagomiR-17 (Dharmacon) or scrambled antagomiR (Ambion) using Lipofectamine RNAiMAx (Life Technologies) for 48 h. Three replicates were used for each condition (i.e. antagomiR-17 and scramble antagomiR conditions).

Description
In an accompanying paper we found specific localization of diabetogenic T cells only to islets of Langerhans bearing the specific antigen. Instrumental in the specific localization was the presence of intra-islet dendritic cells bearing the -cell-peptide-MHC complex. Here we report that the entry of diabetogenic CD4 T cells very rapidly triggered inflammatory gene expression changes in islets and vessels by up-regulating chemokines and adhesion molecules. VCAM-1 expression was notable in blood vessels and so was ICAM-1. ICAM-1 was also found on -cells. These expression changes induced the entry of non-specific T cells that otherwise did not localize to the islets. In contrast to the entry of diabetogenic CD4 T cells, the entrance of non-specific T cells required a chemokine response and VCAM-1 expression by the islets. Interferon-gamma was important for the early gene expression changes in the islets. By microarray analysis we detected up-regulation of a group of interferon-inducible genes as early as 8 hours post T cell transfer. These studies provide a baseline to examine the development of therapeutics that can modulate islet localization of diabetogenic T cells to control this autoimmune disease.

Description
p63 is critical for epithelial development yet little is known about the transcriptional programmes it regulates. The p63 transactivating (TA) isoforms contain an amino-terminal exon that encodes a p53-like transactivation domain, whereas N-isoforms lack this domain but contain the common DNA binding domain (DBD), suggesting that TAp63 and Np63 isoforms may have opposing functions. By characterising transcriptional changes and cellular effects following modulation of p63 expression, we have defined a vital role for p63 in cellular adhesion. Knockdown of p63 expression caused downregulation of cell adhesion-associated genes, cell detachment and anoikis in mammary epithelial cells and keratinocytes. Conversely, overexpression of the TAp63 or Np63 isoforms of p63 upregulated cell adhesion molecules, increased cellular adhesion and conferred resistance to anoikis.

Description
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease triggered by T cell reactivity to protein antigens produced by the -cells. Here we present a chronological compendium of transcriptional profiles from islets of Langerhans isolated from non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice ranging from 2 wks up to diabetes and compared to controls. Parallel analysis was made of cellular components of the islets. Myeloid cells populated the islets early during development in all mouse strains. This was followed by a type I interferon signature detectable at 4-6 wks of age only in diabetes susceptible mice. Concurrently, CD4 T cells were found within islets, many in contact with intra-islet antigen presenting cells. Early cellular signs of islet reactivity were detected by six wks. By 8 wks, NOD islets contained all major leukocytes populations and an inflammatory gene signature. This work establishes the natural transcriptional signature of T1D and provides a resource for future research.

Description
Numerous studies have shown the potential of spermatozoal RNAs to delineate failures of spermatogenic pathways in infertile samples. However, the RNA contribution of normal fertile samples still needs to be established in relation to transcripts consistently present in human spermatozoa. We report here the spermatozoal transcript profiles characteristic of 24 normally fertile individuals. RNA was extracted from the purified sperm cells of ejaculate and hybridized to Illumina Human-8 BeadChip Microarrays

Description
NOD mice deficient in the transcription factor Batf3 never develop diabetes. The goal of this study was to determine if NOD.Batf3-/- mice islets had any inflammatory signature associated with type 1 diabetes. Islets of Langerhans were isolated from NOD, NOD.Batf3-/-, and NOD.Rag1-/- and then compared to determine inflammatory gene profiles. At 6 and 8 weeks of age, NOD.Batf3-/- islets had an absence of inflammatory gene expression and were almost identical to uninflamed NOD.Rag1-/- islets. This work shows that absence of the Batf3 transcription factor is sufficient to prevent all the inflammatory sequelae of autoimmune diabetes.

A minor subset of Batf3-dependent antigen-presenting cells in islets of Langerhans is essential for the development of autoimmune diabetes.

Description
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are fibrous particulates made up of elemental carbon and a novel nanomaterial known for its variety of industrial applications. It has been shown that lung exposure to CNTs may cause adverse effects inclunding lung inflammation and remodeling in experimental models. We investigated the impact of genetic background on the development of adverse outcomes by comparing several common inbred mouse strains and found that C57Bl/6 and DBA/2 strains were polarized in their sensitivity to adverse changes at 4 weeks following an exposure to 4 mg/kg CNT. Here we compare underlying gene expression profiles which may inform the understanding of lung biology underpinning genetic susceptibility to adverse outcomes following environmental or occupational exposure to CNTs. Overall design: Changes in mRNA profiles were compared between CNT-exposed animals and vehicle-treated controls (n=3/group) of either C57Bl/6 or DBA/2 strains.
