Description
Extrarenal viral infections commonly trigger glomerulonephritis mostly in association with immune complex disease. The immunoglobulin component of immune complexes can activate glomerular cell Fc receptors but whether complexed viral nucleic acids contribute to glomerular inflammation remains unknown. Glomerular mesangial cells express TLR3 but lack TLR7-9, hence, it is unclear whether mesangial cells can recognize and respond to viral ssRNA or DNA. Here we studied the immune responses activated by 3P-RNA (5'Triphosphate RNA) and Non-CpG DNA (Double stranded DNA) in primary mesangial cells (PMC).

Description
PU.1 is a key transcription factor for macrophage differentiation. Novel PU.1 target genes were identified by mRNA profiling of PU.1-deficient progenitor cells (PUER) before and after PU.1 activation. We used two different types of Affymetrix DNA-microarrays (430 2.0 arrays and ST 1.0 exon arrays) to characterize the global PU.1-regulated transcriptional program underlying the early processes of macrophage differentiation.

Description
Silver nanoparticles are used in consumer products like food contact materials, drinking water technologies and supplements, due to their antimicrobial properties. This leads to an oral uptake and exposure of intestinal cells. In contrast to other studies we found no apoptosis induction by surfactant coated silver nanoparticles in the intestinal cell model Caco-2 in a previous study, although the particles induced oxidative stress, morphological changes and cell death. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the molecular mechanism of silver nanoparticles in Caco-2 cells. We used global gene expression profiling in differentiated Caco-2 cells, supported by verification of the microarray data by quantitative real time RT-PCR and microscopic analysis, impedance measurements and assays for apoptosis and oxidative stress. Our results revealed that the majority of surfactant coated silver nanoparticles are not taken up into differentiated Caco-2 cells. and probably affect the cells by outside-in signaling. They induce oxidative stress and have an influence on canonical pathways related to FAK, ILK, ERK, MAPK, integrins and adherence and tight junctions, thereby inducing transcription factors like AP1, NFB and NRF2, which mediate cellular reactions in response to oxidative stress and metal ions and induce changes in the cytoskeleton and cell-cell and cell-matrix contacts. The present data confirm the absence of apoptotic cell death. Non-apoptotic, necrotic cell death, especially in the intestine, can cause inflammation and influence the mucosal immune response.

Description
The specification of hematopoietic cells in the developing embryo occurs in specific stages and is regulated by the successive establishment of specific transcriptional networks. However, the molecular mechanisms of how the different stages switch from one to another are still not well understood. Hematopoietic cells arise from endothelial cells within the dorsal aorta which transit into hematopoietic cells by a process called the endothelial-hematopoietic transition (EHT) which does not involve DNA replication. The transcription factor RUNX1 is essential for this process. Using the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells carrying an inducible version of RUNX1, we have previously shown that hematopoietic genes are primed prior to the EHT by the binding of transcription factors required to form both endothelial and hematopoietic cells (FLI-1 and SCL/TAL1). We demonstrated that after induction RUNX1 reshapes the transcription factor binding landscape by causing a relocation of these factors and pulling them towards its binding sites. In the study presented here, we employed the same system to globally dissect the transcriptional processes that underlay the EHT. We demonstrate that the RUNX1-mediated movement of FLI-1 involves the recruitment of the basal transcription components CDK9 and BRD4 to promoters. The looping factor LDB1 to binds to distal elements and after induction relocates towards RUNX1/FLI-1 to form a co-localizing complex in chromatin. This entire process is blocked by treatment with the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1. Our study constitutes a paradigm for transcriptional processes driving transitions in cellular shape and function which are widely observed in development and disease. Overall design: RNA-seq expreiments have been used to study RUNX1 transcription factor during Hematopoietic specification

Description
The Wnt/alpha-catenin pathway plays a central role in epidermal homeostasis and regeneration but how it affects fibroblast fate decisions is unknown. Here, we investigated the effect of targeted alpha-catenin stabilization in dermal fibroblasts. Comparative gene expression profiling of Sca1- and Sca1+ neonatal fibroblasts, from upper and lower dermis respectively, confirmed that Sca1+ cells had a pre-adipocyte signature and revealed differential expression of Wnt/alphacatenin-associated genes. By targeting all fibroblasts or selectively targeting Dlk1+ lower dermal fibroblasts, we found that -catenin stabilization between E16.5 and P2 resulted in a reduction in the dermal adipocyte layer with a corresponding increase in dermal fibrosis and an altered hair cycle. The fibrotic phenotype correlated with a reduction in the potential of Sca1+ fibroblasts to undergo adipogenic differentiation ex vivo. Our findings indicate that Wnt/alpha-catenin signaling controls adipogenic cell fate within the lower dermis, which potentially contributes to the pathogenesis of fibrotic skin diseases.

Description
PRDM proteins belong to the SET domain protein family, which is involved in the regulation of gene expression. Although few PRDM members possess histone methyltransferase activity, the molecular mechanisms by which the other members exert transcriptional regulation remain to be delineated. In this study, we find that Prdm5 is highly expressed in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells and exploit this cellular system to characterize molecular functions of Prdm5. By combining proteomics and next-generation sequencing technologies, we identify Prdm5 interaction partners and genomic occupancy. We demonstrate that although Prdm5 is dispensable for mES cell maintenance, it directly targets genomic regions involved in early embryonic development and affects the expression of a subset of developmental regulators during cell differentiation. Importantly, Prdm5 interacts with Ctcf, cohesin, and TFIIIC and cooccupies genomic loci. In summary, our data indicate how Prdm5 modulates transcription by interacting with factors involved in genome organization in mouse embryonic stem cells. Overall design: For each condition (ATRA-induced differentiation model and LIF cytokine deprivation) three replicate are available for both Prdm5 wt mES cells and Prdm5 KO mES cells, for a total of 12 samples

Description
We used high density oligonucleotide arrays to identify molecular correlates of genetically and clinically distinct subgroups of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Gene expression profiling was used to profile the five most frequent genomic aberrations, namely deletions affecting chromosome bands 13q14, 11q22-q23, 17p13 and 6q21, and gains of genomic material affecting chromosome band 12q13. A strikingly high degree of correlation between loss or gain of genomic material and the amount of transcripts from the affected regions leads to the hypothesis of gene dosage as a significant pathogenic factor. Furthermore, the influence of the immunoglobulin variable heavy chain (VH) mutation status was determined. A clear distinction in the expression profiles of unmutated and mutated VH samples exists, which can be discovered using unsupervised learning methods. However, when samples were separated by gender, this separation could only be detected in samples from male patients.
