Description
The innate immune system is vital to rapidly responding to pathogens and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a critical component of this response. Nanovesicular exosomes play a role in immunity, but to date their exact contribution to the dissemination of the TLR response is unknown. To understand the effect of exosomal cargo released from locally stimulated cells on distal cell expression, we collected exosomes from local ovarian adenocarcinoma (HEY) cells that were either unstimulated (control-exosomes), stimulated with pIC (pIC-exosomes), or lipopolysaccharide (LPS-exosomes) for 48 hours. The three groups of exosomes were added to nave (distal) cells and the gene expression profiles were compared between local TLR stimulation (for 6 hours) and distal stimulation mediated by exosomes at the 48-hour time point

Description
The Melanoma-associated Antigen gene family (MAGE) generally encodes for tumour antigens. We recently have identified one of the MAGE gene members, Mageb16 to be highly expressed in undifferentiated murine embryonic stem cells (mESCs). The role of Mageb16 for the differentiation of the pluripotent stem cells is completely unknown. Here we demonstrate that Mageb16 (41 kDa) is distributed in cytosol and/or in surface membrane in undifferentiated mESCs. A transcriptome study was performed with differentiated short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated Mageb16 knockdown (KD ESCs) and scrambled control (SCR) ESCs until a period of 22 days. Mageb16 KD ESCs mainly differentiated towards mesodermal derivatives such as cardiovascular lineages. Mesoderm-oriented differentiation initiated biological processes such as adipogenesis, osteogenesis, limb morphogenesis and spermatogenesis were significantly enriched in the differentiated Mageb16 KD ESCs. Cardiomyogenesis in differentiated KD mESCs was stronger when compared to differentiated SCR and wild mESCs. The expression of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) Lin28a and other epigenetic regulatory genes, nucleocytoplasmic trafficking and genes participating in spermatogenesis have also declined faster in the differentiating Mageb16 KD ESCs. We conclude that Mageb16 plays a crucial role for differentiation of ESCs, specifically to the mesodermal lineages. Regulative epigenetic networks and nucleocytoplasmic modifications induced by Mageb16 may play a role for the critical role of Mageb16 for the ESCs differentiation.

- Affymetrix Murine Genome U74A Version 2 Array (mgu74av2)
Description
The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR) regulates responses to chemical or physical stress in part by altering expression of genes involved in proteome maintenance. Many of these genes are also transcriptionally regulated by heat shock (HS) through activation by HS factor-1 (HSF1). We hypothesized that there are interactions on a genetic level between PPAR and the HS response mediated by HSF1. Wild-type and PPAR-null mice were exposed to HS, the PPAR agonist WY-14,643 (WY), or both; gene and protein expression was examined in the livers of the mice 4 or 24 hrs after HS. Gene expression profiling identified a number of Hsp family members that were altered similarly in both mouse strains. However, most of the targets of HS did not overlap between strains. A subset of genes was shown by microarray and RT-PCR to be regulated by HS in a PPAR-dependent manner. HS also down-regulated a large set of mitochondrial genes specifically in PPAR-null mice that are known targets of PPARg co-activator 1 (PGC-1) family members. Pretreatment of PPAR-null mice with WY increased expression of PGC-1b and target genes and prevented the down-regulation of the mitochondrial genes by HS. A comparison of HS genes regulated in our dataset with those identified in wild-type and HSF1-null mouse embryonic fibroblasts indicated that although many HS genes are regulated independently of both PPAR and HSF1, a number require both factors for HS responsiveness. These findings demonstrate that the PPAR genotype has a dramatic effect on the transcriptional targets of HS and support an expanded role for PPAR in the regulation of proteome maintenance genes after exposure to diverse forms of environmental stress including HS.

Description
We have previously demonstrated that bone marrow-derived DC can prevent diabetes development and halt progression of insulitis in NOD mice, the mouse model of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The DC population that was most effective in this therapy had a mature phenotype, expressed high levels of costimulatory molecules and secreted low levels of IL-12p70. The protective DC therapy induced regulatory Th2 cells that shifted the dominant Th1 environment, present in NOD mice, to a mixed Th1/Th2 milieu. Microarray analysis of therapeutic and non-therapeutic DC populations revealed several novel molecules that could play important roles in the observed DC-mediated therapy. The therapeutic DC population expressed a unique pattern of costimulatory molecules and chemokines, which were confirmed by flow cytometry and ELISA assays. We have performed in vitro chemotaxis assays that demonstrated the therapeutic DC preferentially attracted Th2 cells, as compared to Th1, Treg or nave T cells. In addition we quantified the in vivo migration of activated islet-specific T cells to the pancreas using novel cell labeling techniques and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance. A subcutaenous injection of therapeutic DC alters the migration of both Th1 and Th2 cells to the pancreas, and Th1 cells appeared in the lymph node draining the site of DC injection. These results suggest that the therapeutic function of DC is mediated in part by the chemoattractive properties of these DC for diabetogenic Th1 cells.

Illumina HiSeq 2500
Description
1 year old mice were perfused and brains were dissociated. Cells were fixed, immunolabeled and FACS sorted. RNA was extracted from neuron, astrocyte, and microglial cell populations. Typical RIN=4-5 for neurons, 6-8 for astrocytes, and 5-7 for microglia. Typical RNA yields ~100ng for neurons, ~20ng for microglia, and ~10ng for astrocytes. cDNA was generated from up to 25 ng of total RNA using Nugen’s RNA-Seq method for low-input RNA samples, Ovation RNA-Seq System V2 (NuGEN). (Per manufacturers instructions, total RNA was neither depleted of rRNA nor polyA-selected.) 1 µg of sheared cDNA was taken into further processing, starting at end repair step, using Illumina’s TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation Kit v2 (Illumina). The "SAMID" sample characteristic is a sample identifier internal to Genentech. The ID of this project in Genentech''s ExpressionPlot database is PRJ0007717 Overall design: Astrocytes, microglia and neurons were sorted from PGRN heterozygous or knockout mice.
