Description
Purpose: Guided by an in silico combination of microRNA (miRNA) target prediction, analysis of transcriptomic changes in 137 human diseases, and advanced gene network modeling, we predicted the miR-130/301 family of miRNAs as a shared regulator of a fibrotic gene network across human diseases, thus orchestrating broad control over disease manifestation. The goals of this study are to compare the lung mRNA profile of mouse model of Pulmonary hypertension, one of the most fibrotic pathology uncovered by our in silico prediction, treated with an inhibitor of miR-130/301 (Short-130) to mice treated with a control inhibitor (Short-NC). Methods: Eight-week-old mice (C57BL/6) were injected with SU5416 (20 mg/kg/dose; Sigma-Aldrich), followed by exposure to normobaric hypoxia (10% O2; OxyCycler chamber, Biospherix Ltd.) for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks and confirmation of PH development in 5 mice (right heart catheterization), mice were further treated with 3 intrapharyngeal injections (every 4 days) of control or miR-130/301 shortmer oligonucleotides, designed as fully modified antisense oligonucleotides complementary to the seed sequence of the miR-130/301 miRNA family (10 mg/kg/dose; Regulus). Specifically, the control and miR-130/301 shortmer oligonucleotides were nontoxic, lipid-permeable, high-affinity oligonucleotides. The miR-130/301 shortmer carried a sequence complementary to the active site of the miR-130/301 miRNA family, containing a phosphorothioate backbone and modifications (fluoro-, methoxyethyl, and bicyclic sugar) at the sugar 2' position. Three days after the last injection, right heart catheterization was performed followed by harvesting of lung tissue for RNA extraction. Lung mRNA profiles of those mice or control mice (Normoxia+SU5416) were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the gene-level count. The gene level counts were then normalized with the R/Bioconductor package limma using the voom /variance stabilization method. The data were quality controlled for outliers using principal component analysis (PCA). Differential expression analysis between transcriptome profiles of experimental groups was performed using the R / Bioconductor package limma. Results: Transcriptomic analyses of whole lung from mice with hypoxia+SU5416-induced PH revealed a generalized de-repression of miR-130/301 targets by Short-130 treatment. Importantly, although whole lung transcriptomics likely captured only a subset of the miR-130/301 targets affecting the diseased pulmonary vasculature, pathway enrichment nonetheless revealed pronounced representation of several pathways known to be involved in fibrosis. Thus, the miR-130/301 family indeed induces a programmatic shift at the molecular level toward the fibrotic pathophenotype in vivo Overall design: Whole lung mRNA profiles of Normoxia (Control) and hypoxia+SU5416-induced PH mice treated with Short-NC or Short-130 were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Affymetrix Murine Genome U74A Version 2 Array (mgu74av2)
Description
We have investigated the effects of cigarette smoke exposure in three different strains of mice. DBA/2 and C57Bl/6J are susceptible to smoke and develop different lung changes in response to chronic exposure, while ICR mice are resistant to smoke and do not develop emphysema. The present study was carried out to determine early changes in the gene expression profile of mice exposed to cigarette smoke with either a susceptible or resistant phenotype.
Publication Title
Early response of gene clusters is associated with mouse lung resistance or sensitivity to cigarette smoke.

Description
CTNNB1 is the most frequently mutated gene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its clinical relevance remains controversial. We determined an evolutionarily conserved -catenin signature by comparative analysis of gene expression data from human HCC and a mouse model (GSE43628). We generated gene expression data from the tumors of 88 HCC patients who underwent surgical resection as the primary treatment. We used these gene expression data to develop a new prognostification model for prognosis of HCC after surgery.

Description
In this placebo-controlled randomized controlled trial, we tested whether remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) elicited by four 5-minute cycles of 300 mmHg of cuff inflation/deflation of the lower limb would reduce myocardial necrosis in isoflurane-anesthetized patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Secondary outcomes were the perioperative release of the biomarkers NTproBNP, hsCRP, S100, atrial transcriptional profiles, and short- and long-term clinical outcomes. RIPC with concomitantly applied isoflurane did not affect the release of biomarkers or clinical outcome. NTproBNP release correlated with isoflurane- but not RIPC-induced transcriptional changes.
Publication Title
Remote ischemic preconditioning applied during isoflurane inhalation provides no benefit to the myocardium of patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery: lack of synergy or evidence of antagonism in cardioprotection?

Description
Expression profiling of hepatocytes-derived ductal cells with properties intermediate between mature hepatocytes and cholangiocytes Overall design: Chimeric adult mice were generated where mature hepatocytes were marked with a fluorescent red marker. Chronic injury was induced for ~6weeks and three cell types were isolated by FACS (Influx, BD) for expression analysis by RNAseq based on cell surface phenotype and origin: hepatocytes (n=3), hepatocyte-derived oval cells (1c3+, n=5), and cholangiocyte-derived oval cells (1c3+, n=5).

Description
Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (Fah), the last enzyme of the tyrosine degradation pathway, is specifically expressed in hepatocytes in the liver. Loss of Fah leads to liver failure in mice within 6-8 weeks. This can be prevented by blocking tyrosine degradation upstream of Fah with 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-1,3-cyclohexanedione (NTBC). Here, we investigate the impact of p21 on global gene expression in Fah deficiency.

Description
Observational studies in human suggest involvement of vitamin A/retinoic acid (RA) signaling in the regulation of airway smooth muscle (ASM) function, but the precise mechanisms by which RA impacts ASM phenotype is not clear. Here, we generated trascriptional profiles from two different models of RA-sufficient and RA-deficient mouse ASM in order to determine the molecular targets of RA in ASM (VAS/VAD, CTR/BMS)
Publication Title
Retinoic acid signaling is essential for airway smooth muscle homeostasis.
