The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived whole transcriptome profiles (RNA-seq) of H5N1 infected A549 cells overexpressing either negative control mimic or miR-324-5p mimic Overall design: A549 cells were either mock transfected or transfected with either negative control or mir-324-5p mimic. After 12 hours cells were either mock infected (mock transfected cells) or infected with A/duck/India/02CA10/2011 - H5N1 virus (negative control and miR-324-5p overexpressing cells)

View SamplesWe previously identified TLR-independent expression of 4933430F08Rik, encoding Batf2, in T. cruzi-infected bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) (Kayama et al., 2009). To determine the functions of Batf2 in innate immune responses, we performed a comprehensive gene expression analysis in wild-type and Batf2-/- bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMf). RNA-seq analysis showed that 98 genes are upregulated in Batf2-/- BMMf stimulated with LPS following IFN-? treatment, when compared with that in wild-type cells. Among these genes, we focused on Il23a, encoding IL-23p19, because IL-23 is able to promote expression of Il17a in Th17 cells. Overall design: mRNA of wild-type and Batf2-/- BMMf were subjected to deep sequencing profiling using Illumina HiSeq 2000.
BATF2 inhibits immunopathological Th17 responses by suppressing <i>Il23a</i> expression during <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> infection.

View SamplesPurpose: The goal of this study is to compare downstream genes of Sema6D signaling in LPS plus IFNg stimulated macrophages. Methods: Bone marrow derived macrophage mRNA profiles of 7 weeks of wild type (WT) and Sema6D-/- mice were stimulated by LPS for 4 hrs. Results: According to this comparison, we found that 550 genes were downregulated in Sema6D-/- macrophages than WT macrophages in response to LPS. Conclusions: Our study represents 62 genes were supressed in both M1 and M2 Sema6D-/- macrophage than WT macrophages, suggesting of Sema6D reverse sigaling genes. Overall design: Bone marrow derived macrophage mRNA profiles of 7 weeks of wild type (WT) and Sema6D-/- mice were stimulated by LPS for 4 hrs, then isolated total RNA by RNeasy kit.

View SamplesCotton is one of the most commercially important Fiber crops in the world and used as a source for natural textile Fiber and cottonseed oil. The fuzzless-lintless ovules of cotton mutants are ideal source for identifying genes involved in Fiber development by comparing with Fiber bearing ovules of wild-type. To decipher molecular mechanisms involved in Fiber cell development, transcriptome analysis has been carried out by comparing G. hirsutum cv. MCU5 (wild-type) with its fuzzless-lintless mutant (MUT). Cotton bolls were collected at Fiber initiation (0 dpa/days post anthesis), elongation (5, 10 and 15 dpa) and secondary cell wall synthesis stage (20 dpa) and gene expression profiles were analyzed in wild-type and MUT using Affymetrix cotton GeneChip Genome array.
Functional genomics of fuzzless-lintless mutant of Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. MCU5 reveal key genes and pathways involved in cotton fibre initiation and elongation.

View SamplesBackground: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating autoimmune disease of the central nervous system and the leading cause of lasting neurological disabilities in young adults. Increasing evidence suggests that early treatment prevents the development of disability. However, there have been no reliable serum markers to assist the early diagnosis. In addition, interferon (IFN)-, which is the major treatment for MS, is not always effective. Therefore, the development of simple serological test to help the early diagnosis and predict responsiveness to IFN- is of clinical importance. On the other hand, a transmembrane-type semaphorin, Sema4A, has been implicated in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) by regulating helper T (Th) cell differentiation. Thus, we aimed to identify the implications of Sema4A in diagnosis and pathogenesis of MS. Methods: We assayed serum Sema4A in 59 patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), 22 patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and 126 patients with other neurological diseases (OND) by developing a sandwich ELISA. To identify a source of soluble Sema4A and characteristics of MS patients with high levels of Sema4A, we analyzed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from MS patients and healthy controls by flow cytometry (FACS) and gene chip analysis. The effect of Sema4A was examined in vitro and in vivo using an EAE model. Findings: Sema4A was significantly increased in sera of patients with MS and CIS compared to controls. Sema4A expression was increased on the surface of DCs in MS patients and shed from these cells in a metalloproteinase-dependent manner, affecting the Th17skewing. In addition, patients with high Sema4A levels exhibited more severe disabilities, and IFN- treatment was not beneficial to those patients. Interpretation: Measuring Sema4A is a practical laboratory test to help diagnose MS and to predict responsiveness to IFN- therapy.
Elevation of Sema4A implicates Th cell skewing and the efficacy of IFN-β therapy in multiple sclerosis.
