Affymetrix Human Genome U133A Array (hgu133a)
Description
Antibody-independent effector functions of B cells, such as antigen presentation and cytokine production, have been shown to play an important role in a variety of immune-mediated conditions such as autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection and graft-versus-host disease. Therapeutic strategies, which interfere with B cell activation could therefore be a useful addition to the current immunosuppressive armamentarium. CD40 is one of the strongest activation stimuli for B cells. The aim of this study was to characterise the gene expression changes that occurr after B cell activation via CD40.
Publication Title
Inhibition of protein geranylgeranylation specifically interferes with CD40-dependent B cell activation, resulting in a reduced capacity to induce T cell immunity.

Description
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) miR-130a, miR-203 and miR-205 are jointly downregulated in prostate cancer and act as repressors of AR-signaling. MiRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of specific mRNA targets mainly by translational repression, mRNA deadenylation or cleavage. Reconstitution of these lost miRNAs in the LNCaP PCa cell line cause morphology changes, growth arrest, and apoptosis, increasing when the miRNAs were co-expressed. This series identifies direct targets of miR-130a, miR-203, and miR-205 by AGO2-RNA co-immunoprecipitation as described by (Beitzinger et al. 2007) upon miRNA reconstitution in LNCaP cells and analyzing AGO2-bound mRNAs using Affymetrix Genechips. Relative levels of AGO2 bound versus total RNA expression were compared between miRNA reconstituted and miR-scr transfected samples.

Description
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) miR-130a, miR-203 and miR-205 are jointly downregulated in prostate cancer and act as repressors of AR-signaling. MiRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of specific mRNA targets mainly by translational repression, mRNA deadenylation or cleavage. Reconstitution of these lost miRNAs in the LNCaP PCa cell line cause morphology changes, growth arrest, and apoptosis, increasing when the miRNAs were co-expressed. Bioinformatic target prediction, mRNA expression and protein expression analysis upon overexpression of these miRNAs congruently identified targets known to be overexpressed in PCa and to be involved in AR trans-activation. This series profiles loss in mRNA expression in LNCaP cells transfected with one of the three miRNAs miR-130a, miR-203 and miR-205 compared to LNCaP cells transfected with a scramble miRNA.

Description
CD4 T cells can differentiate into a hetergenous population of effector T cells. A population of cytotoxic CD4 T cells can be generated against influenza challenge, however identifying these cells have been challenging. The expression of NKG2A/C/E on CD4 T cells identifies CD4 T cells with cytotoxic potential thus allowing further characterization of this subset of CD4 effector cells.
Publication Title
NKG2C/E Marks the Unique Cytotoxic CD4 T Cell Subset, ThCTL, Generated by Influenza Infection.

Description
Asthma is caused by a combination of poorly understood genetic and environmental factors. We found multiple markers on chromosome 17q21 to be strongly and reproducibly associated with childhood onset asthma in family and case-referent panels with a combined P < 10-12. In independent replication studies the 17q21 locus showed strong association with diagnosis of childhood asthma in 2,320 subjects from a cohort of German children (P = 0.0003) and in 3,301 subjects from the British 1958 Birth Cohort (P = 0.0005). We systematically evaluated the relationships between markers of the 17q21 locus and transcript levels of genes in EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines from children in the asthma family panel used in our association study. The SNPs associated with childhood asthma were consistently and strongly associated (P <10-22) in cis with transcript levels of ORMDL3, a member of a gene family that encode transmembrane proteins anchored in the endoplasmic reticulum. The results indicate that genetic variants regulating ORMDL3 expression are determinants of susceptibility to childhood asthma.
Publication Title
Genetic variants regulating ORMDL3 expression contribute to the risk of childhood asthma.

Description
Blood consists of different cell populations with distinct functions and correspondingly, distinct gene expression profiles. In this study, global miRNA expression profiling was performed across a panel of nine human immune cell subsets (neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, B cells, NK cells, CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, mDCs and pDCs) to identify cell-type specific miRNAs. mRNA expression profiling was performed on the same samples, to determine if miRNAs specific to certain cell types down-regulated expression levels of their target genes. Six cell-type specific miRNAs (miR-143; neutrophil specific, miR-125; T cells and neutrophil specific, miR-500; monocytes and pDC specific, miR-150; lymphoid cells specific, miR-652 and miR-223; both myeloid cells specific) were negatively correlated with expression of their predicted target genes. These results were further validated using an independent cohort where similar immune cell subsets were isolated and profiled for both miRNA and mRNA expression. miRNAs negatively correlated with target gene expression in both cohorts were identified as candidates for miRNA-mRNA regulatory pairs and were used to construct a cell-type specific regulatory network. miRNA-mRNA pairs formed two distinct clusters in the network corresponding to myeloid (nine miRNAs) and lymphoid lineages (two miRNAs). Several myeloid specific miRNAs targeted common genes including ABL2, EIF4A2, EPC1 and INO80D; these common targets were enriched for genes involved in the regulation of gene expression (p < 9.0E-7). Those miRNA might therefore have significant further effect on gene expression by repressing the expression of genes involved in transcriptional regulation. The miRNA and mRNA expression profiles reported in this study form a comprehensive transcriptome database of various human blood cells and serve as a valuable resource for elucidating the role of miRNA mediated regulation in the establishment of immune cell identity.
