Description
The endometrial perivascular microenvironment is rich in mesenchymal stem-like cells that express type 1 integral membrane protein Sushi domain containing 2 (SUSD2) but the role of these cells in the decidual transformation of this tissue in pregnancy is unknown. We used an antibody directed against SUSD2 (W5C5) to isolate perivascular (W5C5+) and non-perivascular (W5C5-) fibroblasts from mid-luteal biopsies. We show that SUSD2 expression, and hence the ratio of W5C5+ to W5C5- cells, changes in culture depending on cell-cell contact and activation of the Notch signaling pathway. RNA sequencing revealed that cultures derived from W5C5+ progenitor cells remain phenotypically distinct by the enrichment of novel and established endometrial perivascular signature genes. In an undifferentiated state, W5C5+-derived cells produced lower levels of various chemokines and inflammatory modulators when compared to their W5C5- counterparts. This divergence in secretomes became more pronounced upon decidualization, which transformed perivascular W5C5+ cells into the dominant source of a range of trophic and immunomodulatory cytokines, including leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). Our findings indicate that the decidual response is spatially organized with differentiating perivascular cells establishing distinct cytokine and chemokine gradients that could direct trophoblast towards maternal vessels and govern local immune responses in pregnancy. Overall design: Analysis of paired human endometrial stromal cultures, originating from either W5C5+ or W5C5- cells, from four biological replicates - a total of 8 samples - by Illumina RNAseq.

Description
Malignant melanoma is a common and frequently lethal disease. Current therapeutic interventions have little effect on survival, emphasizing the need for a better understanding of the genetic, epigenetic, and phenotypic changes in melanoma formation and progression. We identified genes that were not previously known to be silenced by methylation in melanoma using a microarray-based screen following treatment of melanoma cell lines with the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine.

Description
T cell dysfunction is an important feature of many chronic viral infections. In particular, it was shown that PD-1 regulates T cell dysfunction during chronic LCMV infection in mice and PD-1 high cells exhibit an intense exhausted gene signature. These findings were extended to human chronic infections such as HIV, HCV and HBV. However, it is not known if PD-1 high cells of healthy humans have the traits of exhausted cells. In this study, we provide a comprehensive description of phenotype, function and gene expression profiles of PD-1 high versus PD-1 low CD8 T cells in the peripheral blood of healthy human adults as following: 1) The percentage of naive and memory CD8 T cells varied widely in the peripheral blood cells of healthy humans and PD-1 was expressed by the memory CD8 T cells. 2) PD-1 high CD8 T cells in healthy humans did not significantly correlated with the PD-1 high exhausted gene signature of HIV specific human CD8 T cells or chronic LCMV specific CD8 T cells from mice. 3) PD-1 expression did not directly affect the ability of CD8 T cells to secrete cytokines in healthy adults. 4) PD-1 was expressed by the effector memory (TEM) compared to terminally differentiated effector (TEMRA) CD8 T cells. 5) Finally, an interesting inverse relationship between CD45RA and PD-1 expression was observed.

Description
Variable strengths of T cell receptor (TCR) signaling can produce divergent outcomes for T cell development and function. The mechanisms leading to different outcomes are incompletely understood, but may include distinct activation thresholds for different transcription factors as well as distinct sensitivities among target genes to transcription factors. IRF4 is one transcription factor implicated in responses to variable TCR signal strength. IRF4 expression increases uniformly with increasing TCR signal strength (i.e., analog), but it is unclear how IRF4 induced distinct genes at different levels, rather than different amounts of the same genes. Here, we analyzed global gene expression in TH2 cells and used ChIP-seq to define the relationship between TCR signal strength, enhancer occupancy and transcriptional activity for BATF/IRF4-dependent genes. We show that enhancers exhibit a spectrum of affinity for the BATF/IRF4 ternary complex mediate graded responsiveness of individual genes to increasing TCR signal strength. Differential gene induction by BATF and IRF4 occurs through interaction with enhancer elements of different affinity for BATF/IRF4 complexes. The increased resolution of factor binding site identified using ChIP-exo allowed the identification of a novel AICE2 motif binding BATF/IRF4 with higher affinity and that this may explain the protective role of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the CTLA-4 locus known to decrease the incidence of autoimmune diseases.
