ERG (Ets Related Gene) is an ETS transcription factor that was originally described for its role in a number of human cancers. Our preliminary data demonstrate that ERG exhibits a highly EC restricted pattern of expression in cultured primary cells and several adult tissues including the heart, lung, and brain. In response to inflammatory stimuli, such as TNF-alpha, we observed a marked reduction of ERG expression in EC.
Antiinflammatory effects of the ETS factor ERG in endothelial cells are mediated through transcriptional repression of the interleukin-8 gene.

View SamplesPolymorphisms in the interleukin-4 receptor chain (IL-4R) have been linked to asthma incidence and severity, but a causal relationship has remained uncertain. In particular, a glutamine to arginine substitution at position 576 (Q576R) of IL-4R has been associated with severe asthma, especially in African Americans. We show that mice carrying the Q576R polymorphism exhibited intense allergen-induced airway inflammation and remodeling. The Q576R polymorphism did not affect proximal signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 6 activation, but synergized with STAT6 in a gene target and tissue-specific manner to mediate heightened expression of a subset of IL-4 and IL-13responsive genes involved in allergic inflammation. Our findings indicate that the Q576R polymorphism directly promotes asthma in carrier populations by selectively augmenting IL-4Rdependent signaling.

View SamplesBulk RNA Sequencing of Healthy Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells Overall design: Using standard operating procedures, mononuclear cells from bone marrow aspirates were isolated using Ficoll density gradient separation and cryopreserved in 90% FBS/ 10% DMSO for storage in liquid nitrogen. RNA was harvested from thawed cell vials of BMMCs using AllPrep kits (QIAGEN). Libraries were prepared using TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Sample Preparation Kit (Illumina) with 1ug of RNA input. Sequencing was performed by paired-end 75 nt on Illumina HiSeq 3000.
