Although extensive studies have demonstrated the gene expression patterns of antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells during chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, the transcriptional profiles of global CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells remains unclear. In this report, we recruited 10 long-term (~20 years) treatment-nave chronic HCV (CHC) patients and 5 healthy donors (HDs) to investigate differences in global CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells gene expression profile.
T lymphocytes from chronic HCV-infected patients are primed for activation-induced apoptosis and express unique pro-apoptotic gene signature.

View SamplesThe type II transmembrane serine protease, TMPRSS2, which is expressed in the epithelia of the respiratory tract and can activate varieties of respiratory viruses. We have generated TMPRSS2 knockout (KO) mice. These mice showed normal development, growth, and fertility phenotypes, compared with wild-type mice.

View SamplesThe zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a prominent vertebrate development model, has been extensively utilized as the pathogen-host interaction to be studied in recent years. However, the mechanisms involved in the immune response of the zebrafish to vaccine are not fully understood. For clarify the high immune relative protection in zebrafish following the immunization of the putative Edwardsiella tarda (E. tarda) live attenuate vaccine, we performed a comparative gene expression analysis of mocked and immunized zebrafish using the RNA-seq technology and DEGseq to identify differential expressed genes, chiefly for gaining deep insight into the liver immunogenetics after WEDplas vaccinated zebrafish.

View SamplesIn 2014 Western Africa experienced an unanticipated explosion of infections with Ebola virus (EBOV). What distinguishes fatal from non-fatal outcomes remains largely unknown, yet is key to optimising personalised treatment strategies. Here transcriptome data for peripheral blood taken from infected and convalescent, recovering patients, was used to identify early stage host factors that were associated with acutely ill patients that ultimately either survived or succumbed to the disease.

View SamplesELABELA (ELA) is a peptide hormone required for heart development that signals via the Apelin Receptor (APLNR, APJ). ELA is also abundantly secreted by human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), which do not express APLNR. Here we show that ELA signals in a paracrine fashion in hESCs to maintain self-renewal. ELA inhibition by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion, shRNA or neutralizing antibodies causes reduced hESC growth, cell death and loss of pluripotency. Global phosphoproteomic and transcriptomic analyses of ELA-pulsed hESCs show that it activates PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 signaling required for cell survival. ELA promotes hESC cell cycle progression and protein translation, and blocks stress-induced apoptosis. INSULIN and ELA have partially overlapping functions in hESC medium, but only ELA can potentiate the TGF pathway to prime hESCs towards the endoderm lineage. We propose that ELA, acting through an alternate cell-surface receptor, is an endogenous secreted growth factor in human embryos and hESCs that promotes growth and pluripotency.

View SamplesING1b and GADD45a are nuclear proteins involved in the regulation of cell growth, apoptosis and DNA repair. We found that ING1b and GADD45a physically and functionally interact in the epigenetic regulation of specific target genes. In order to characterise the functional ING1b-GADD45a interaction, we performed a gain-of-function experiment in HEK293T cells by individual and combinatorial plasmid transfections and then analysed the transcriptional response via expression microarray profiling.
