Description
C1q suppresses JAK-STAT signal transduction and activates PPAR-mediated transcription in macrophages during clearance of modified forms of LDL leading to a reduction in inflammatory response. Overall design: Human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM) were incubated with either oxidized (oxLDL) or acetylated low-density lipoprotein (acLDL) in the presence or absence of C1q for 3 hours. Total RNA was extracted using the Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit. RNA libraries were constructed using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample Preparation Kit. Sequences were aligned to a reference genome (hg38), RPKM and raw counts were determined using CASAVA version 1.8.2.

Description
In this study, we developed a unique system using primary human autologous lymphocytes and HMDMs to characterize the effect of C1q on macrophage gene expression profiles during the uptake of apoptotic cells. Our results showed that C1q bound to autologous apoptotic lymphocytes (AL) significantly modulated the response of HMDMs to LPS by increasing expression of cytokines, chemokines and effector molecules associated with immunoregulation and by directly suppressing caspase-1 dependent cleavage of IL-1beta.

Description
The mammalian innate immune system senses many bacterial stimuli through the toll-like receptor (TLR) family. Activation of the TLR4 receptor by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the most widely studied TLR pathway due to its central role in host responses to gram-negative bacterial infection and its contribution to endotoxemia and sepsis. Here we describe a genome-wide siRNA screen to identify genes regulating the human macrophage TNF- response to LPS. We include a secondary validation screen conducted with six independent siRNAs per gene to facilitate removal of off-target screen hits. We also provide microarray data from the same LPS-treated macrophage cells to facilitate downstream data analysis. These data provide a resource for analyzing gene function in the predominant pathway driving inflammatory cytokine expression in human macrophages.

Description
The bacterial product lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulates nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) signaling, which results in the production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), as part of the immune response. NF-kB target genes also include those encoding proteins that inhibit NF-kB signaling through negative feedback loops. By simultaneously studying the dynamics of the nuclear translocation of the NF-kB subunit RelA and the activity of a Tnf-driven reporter in a mouse macrophage cell line, Sung et al. found that the gene encoding RelA was also a target of NF-kB. Synthesis of RelA occurred only at higher concentrations of LPS and constituted a positive feedback loop that dominated over existing negative feedback mechanisms. Genes expressed in response to a high concentration of LPS were enriched for those involved in innate immune responses. Together, these data suggest that the RelA-dependent positive feedback loop enables macrophages to mount an effective immune only above a critical concentration of LPS.

Description
While the genome sequence of many animals is now complete, their transcriptomes are less well characterised. Both genome-scale tiling arrays and massively parallel sequencing now allow transcriptomes to be mapped at unprecedented depth. We used both technologies to map the C. elegans transcriptome across development. This unbiased overview can serve as a framework for assessing transcriptome changes in a mutant animal and we compared the wild-type data with that of animals that have lost the nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway. Results We find that while the great majority of detectable transcripts map to known gene structures, over 5% of transcribed regions are novel, falling outside current gene annotations. We show that at least 40% of these are novel exons. We also used both technologies to assess isoform complexity and estimate that at least 17% of genes change their major isoform across development. Having mapped the wild-type transcriptome, we examined how this is perturbed in animals lacking nonsense -mediated decay (NMD). NMD prevents expression of prematurely truncated proteins by degrading transcripts containing premature termination codons (PTCs). We find that ~20% of all genes produce transcripts that appear to be targets for NMD. While most of these arise from splicing errors, NMD targets are also enriched for transcripts that contain short open reading frames upstream of the predicted translational start (uORFs). We find an intriguing relationship between the strength of Kozak consensus surrounding the true start codon and the degree to which these uORF containing transcripts are targeted by NMD, suggesting that translational efficiency may be coupled to transcript turnover via the NMD pathway for many transcripts. Conclusions We have generated a high-resolution map of the C. elegans transcriptome and have used it to identify transcripts that are endogenous targets of the NMD machinery. We find that these targets arise principally through splicing errors and suggest that splicing and NMD are highly interlinked processes.

Description
Glucocorticoids remain the most widely used class of anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents. They act primarily by binding to the glucocorticoid receptor, resulting in direct and indirect effects on gene expression. The current understanding of glucocorticoid effects on transcription in human cells is based mostly on studies of cancer cell lines, immortalized cell lines, or highly mixed populations of primary cells (such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells). To advance the understanding of the transcriptome-wide effects of glucocorticoids on highly pure populations of primary human cells, we performed RNA-seq on nine such cell populations at two time points after in vitro exposure to methylprednisolone or vehicle. Overall design: Nine cell types were studied: four hematopoietic (circulating B cells, CD4+ T cells, monocytes, and neutrophils) and five non-hematopoietic (endothelial cells, fibroblasts, myoblasts, osteoblasts, and preadipocytes). Each cell type was obtained from a separate cohort of 4 unrelated healthy human donors (4 biological replicates per cell type: BR1 - BR4). Cells form each donor were independently cultured and exposed in vitro to glucocorticoid or vehicle. Non-hematopoietic cells were incubated until the early plateau phase of growth, then exposed to methylprednisolone or vehicle. Hematopoietic cells were collected from peripheral blood, purified by magnetic selection (negative selection for B cells, CD4+ T cells and neutrophils; positive selection for monocytes). Purified B cells, CD4+ T cells, and monocytes were incubated overnight, then exposed to methylprednisolone or vehicle. Purified neutrophils were cultured for 4 hours, then exposed to methylprednisolone or vehicle. Ethanol was used as a vehicle for methylprednisolone. Estimated final concentrations were 8500 mcg/L (22.7 mcM) for methylprednisolone and 0.07% (15.57 mM) for ethanol (vehicle). For each cell type, samples were collected at two time points after treatment with methylprednisolone or vehicle: 2 hours and 6 hours. Samples were collected into TRIzol reagent and frozen at -80°C prior to RNA extraction. RNA-seq data for all samples is made available in this GEO Series.
