Description
Objective: Adult Stills disease (ASD) is a systemic disorder of unknown etiology characterized by high spiking fever, rash and arthritis. The purpose of this study was to determine the pathogenic roles of specific genes in ASD. Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were examined by DNA microarray and validated by quantitative PCR using monocytes isolated from patients with active-ASD, inactive-ASD and healthy controls. The correlation between validated DEGs and ASD activity was analyzed. After inflammasome activation with LPS and Nigericin, the production of IL-1, IL-18, inflammasome and autophagy related proteins in DEGs-overexpressing THP-1 cells was carried out by ELISA or western blotting. DEGs-overexpressing THP-1 cells were treated with an inhibitor of autophagy followed by assessment of IL-1 and IL-18 production by ELISA and western blotting method.Conclusions: The overexpression of PLAC8 in monocytes might play a regulatory role in the production of IL-1 and IL-18 by the enhancement of autophagy, resulting in the suppression of ASD. Results:A total of 68 genes were highly expressed in monocytes isolated from active-ASD patients, relative to their expression in inactive-ASD patients and healthy controls. After validation of expression of 13 genes (CLU, FCGR1B, PLAC8, TLR1, S100A12, CD55, PIM1, BCL2A1, SOD2, PLSCR1, CYP1B1, STEAP4, IL1RN), the expression of PLAC8 was significantly higher in active-ASD patients than the other groups. In ASD, PLAC8 expression level correlated with serum levels of CRP, ferritin and IL-18. Stimulation of monocytes with lipopolysaccharide resulted in PLAC8 upregulation. LPS or Nigericin stimulation of PLAC8-overexpressing THP-1, but not THP-1 cells< was associated with significant decrease in IL-1 and IL-18 production. PLAC8 overexpressing in THP-1 cells was associated with enhanced autophagy and suppression of IL-1 and IL-18 production. Conclusions: PLAC8 upregulation in monocytes seemed to play a regulatory role in the production of IL-1 and IL-18 through enhanced autophagy, resulting in suppression of ASD. The results highlight the role of PLAC8 in the pathogenesis of ASD and suggest its potential suitability as a therapeutic target in ASD.

Description
Fus is the gene for a member of the FET family of RNA-binding proteins often involved in chromosomal translocations to generate oncogenic fusion genes in human cancers. Fus participates in multiple cellular functions, including RNA processing and transport, transcriptional regulation, and genome integrity. We uncovered its critical role in the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Fus-/- fetal livers developed normally except for a mild reduction in numbers of colony-forming cells compared to the wild type. The proliferation and differentiation of Fus-/- hematopoietic progenitors were normal in vitro. However, the number of colony-forming cells present in long-term cocultures of Fus-/- hematopoietic progenitors and stromal cells was significantly reduced. Fus-/- HSCs had an impaired long-term repopulating capacity and failed to repopulate in tertiary recipient mice. Fus-/- HSCs were highly susceptible to radiation both in vitro and in vivo and showed retardation of radiation-induced DNA damage repair. These findings define Fus as a novel regulator of HSCs and implicate it in stress-resistance and maintenance of the genomic integrity of HSCs. Therefore, it would be of importance to analyze the gene expression profiles of Fus-knockout hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells to understand its role in HSCs.

Description
Chemo-resistance to platinum such as cisplatin is critical in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Recent evidences have linked epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) with the drug resistance as a contributing mechanism. The current study explored the connection between cellular responses to cisplatin with EMT in ovarian cancer.

Description
The overall goal of this project is to investigate the role of TGF-beta signaling in epithelial cells as it pertains to the orientation of muscle fibers in the soft palate during embryogenesis. Here, we first conducted gene expression profiling of the anterior and posterior portions of the palate from wild-type mice. In addition, we also conducted gene expression profiling of the posterior palate in mutant mice with an epithelium-specific conditional inactivation of the Tgfbr2 gene. The latter mice provide a model of submucosal cleft palate, which is a congenital birth defect commonly observed in many syndromic conditions.
Publication Title
TGFβ regulates epithelial-mesenchymal interactions through WNT signaling activity to control muscle development in the soft palate.
