Description
Hydrostatic pressure and perfusion have been shown to alter the chondrogenic potential of articular chondrocytes. In order to compare the effects of hydrostatic pressure plus perfusion (HPP) and perfusion (P) we investigated the complete gene expression profiles of human chondrocytes under HPP and P. A simplified bioreactor was constructed applying loading (0.1 MPa for 2 h) and perfusion (2ml) through the same piping by pressurizing the medium directly. High-density monolayer cultures of human chondrocytes were exposed to HPP or P for 4 days. Controls were maintained in static culture. Gene expression was evaluated by sequencing (RNAseq) and quantitative real-time PCR analysis. RNAseq identified similarities between the two treatments. Specifically, HPP and P increased COL2A1 expression and decreased COL1A1 and MMP-13 expression. Despite of the similarities, RNAseq revealed a list of cartilage genes including ACAN, ITGA10 and TNC, which were differentially expressed by HPP and P. Of these candidates adhesion related molecules were found to be upregulated in HPP. Both HPP and P treatment had beneficial effects on chondrocyte differentiation and decreased catabolic enzyme expression. The study provides new insight into how hydrostatic pressure and perfusion enhance cartilage differentiation and inhibit catabolic effects Overall design: 9 samples

Description
Monocytes play a critical role during infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). They are recruited to the lung where they participate in the contention of infection. Alternatively, inflammatory monocytes may help in prolonging inflammation or serve as niches for Mtb infection. Also, monocyte response to infection may vary depending on the particularities of the clinical isolate of Mtb from which they are infected. In this pilot study, using microarrays we have examined the global mRNA profiles of circulating human monocytes from healthy individuals and patients with active tuberculosis (TB).

Description
The hippocampus is part of a brain network essential for memory function. Paradoxically, the hippocampus is also the brain structure that is most sensitive to hypoxic-ischemic episodes. Here we show that the expression of genes associated with glycolysis and glutamate metabolism in astrocytes and the coverage of excitatory synapses by astrocytic processes undergo significant decreases in the CA1 field of the monkey hippocampus during postnatal development. Given the established role of astrocytes in the regulation of glutamate concentration in the synaptic cleft, our findings indicate that a developmental decrease in astrocytic processes underlies the selective vulnerability of CA1 during hypoxic-ischemic episodes in adulthood, its decreased susceptibility to febrile seizures with age, as well as contribute to the emergence of selective, adult-like memory function.

Description
Purpose: To gain further mechanistic insight into phenotypic differences between wild type pancreatic islets and islets with loss of function of 4 Box C/D snoRNAs from the Rpl13a locus (U32a, U33, U34 and U35a). Methods:High quality total RNA (RIN = 8.5) was prepared from hand-picked islets (n = 4 mice/genotype) using TRIZOL reagent, treated with Turbo DNAse (Thermo Fisher), and used to prepare SeqPlex RNAseq libraries (Sigma). Sequencing was performed by the Washington University Genome Technology Access Center using two lanes of Illumina HiSeq 2500, 1x50. Reads were demultiplexed and trimmed, and STAR alignment and quantification analysis was carried out using the Partek Flow platform. Uniquely aligned reads were quantified to identify genes with at least a two-fold change between genotypes with p < 0.05 and FDR step-up of 0.05. Results:We observed 2-fold or greater differences in the expression of only six genes. Conclusions: Our data indicate that loss-of-function of snoRNAs from the Rpl13a locus is associated with modest changes in mRNA abundance. Overall design: Examination of murine pancreatic islet mRNA differential expression between wild type mice and mice with loss-of-function of U32a, U33, U34, and U35a snoRNAs.

Description
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with poor clinical outcome and the development of more effective therapies is urgently needed. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent attractive therapeutic targets, accounting for approximately 30% of all targets of marketed drugs. Using next-generation sequencing, we studied the expression of 772 GPCRs in 148 genetically diverse AML specimens, normal blood and bone marrow cell populations as well as cord blood-derived CD34-positive cells. Among these receptors, 30 are overexpressed and 19 are downregulated in AML samples compared with normal CD34-positive cells. Upregulated GPCRs are enriched in chemokine (CCR1, CXCR4, CCR2, CX3CR1, CCR7 and CCRL2), adhesion (CD97, EMR1, EMR2 and GPR114) and purine (including P2RY2 and P2RY13) receptor subfamilies. The downregulated receptors include adhesion GPCRs, such as LPHN1, GPR125, GPR56, CELSR3 and GPR126, protease-activated receptors (F2R and F2RL1) and the Frizzled family receptors SMO and FZD6. Interestingly, specific deregulation was observed in genetically distinct subgroups of AML, thereby identifying different potential therapeutic targets in these frequent AML subgroups. Overall design: Total healthy bone marrow was sorted to isolate distinct cell populations. RNA-Seq analysis was performed on sorted cells to determine gene expression profile of healthy bona marrow subpopulations.

Description
As regulators of protein degradation, proteasomes regulate practically all cellular functions. It is therefore logical to assume that replacement of the constitutive proteasome (CP) by its IFN- inducible homolog immunoproteasome (IP) could have far reaching effects on cell function. Accordingly, recent studies have revealed important roles for IPs in immune cells beyond MHC I-peptide processing. Moreover, the expression of IPs in non-immune cells from non-inflamed tissues suggests that the involvement of IPs is not limited to the immune system. We demonstrate here that IP-deficiency affects the transcription of 8104 genes in maturing dendritic cells (DCs). This occurs mainly through non-redundant regulation of key immune-related transcription factors by CPs and IPs. Additionally, IP-deficiency decreases DC''s efficiency to activate CD8+ T cells in vivo. Our study reveals that the broad cellular roles of IPs could rely on transcription regulation and, more importantly, illustrates how IP-deficiency could generate MHC I-peptide processing-independent phenotypes. Overall design: Examination of the transcriptome of WT and immunoproteasome-deficient cells at 4 different time points of dendritic cell maturation, in 4 experimental replicates (total of 32 samples).
