Description
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are transforming growth factor (TGF) family members that regulate the post-implantation and mid-gestation stages of pregnancy. In this study we discovered that signaling via activin-like kinase 3 (ALK3/BMPR1A), a BMP type 1 receptor, is necessary for blastocyst attachment. To understand the role of ALK3 in the luminal uterine epithelium, we obtained the gene expression profiles of isolated luminal uterine epithelium from 3.5dpc control and Alk3 cKO mice.

Description
In an ongoing translational research program involving microarray-based expression profiles in pediatric septic shock, we have now conducted longitudinal studies focused on the temporal expression profiles of canonical signaling pathways and gene networks. Genome-level expression profiles were generated from whole blood-derived RNA samples of children with septic shock (n = 30 individual patients) corresponding to days 1 and 3 of admission to the pediatric intensive care unit. Based on sequential statistical and expression filters, day 1 and day 3 of septic shock were characterized by differential regulation of 2,142 and 2,504 gene probes, respectively, relative to normal control patients. Venn analysis demonstrated 239 unique genes in the day 1 data set, 598 unique genes in the day 3 data set, and 1,906 genes common to both data sets. Analyses targeted toward derivation of biological function from these data sets demonstrated time-dependent, differential regulation of genes involved in multiple canonical signaling pathways and gene networks primarily related to immunity and inflammation. Notably, multiple and distinct gene networks involving T cell- and MHC antigen-related biological processes were persistently downregulated from day 1 to day 3. Further analyses demonstrated large scale and persistent downregulation of genes corresponding to functional annotations related to zinc homeostasis. These data represent the largest reported cohort of patients with septic shock, which has undergone longitudinal genome-level expression profiling. The data further advance our genome-level understanding of pediatric septic shock and support novel hypotheses that can be readily tested at both the experimental and translational levels.

Description
The rapid development in septic patients of features of marked immunosuppression associated with increased risk of nosocomial infections and mortality represents the rational for the initiation of immune targeted treatments in sepsis. However, as there is no clinical sign of immune dysfunctions, the current challenge is to develop biomarkers that will help clinicians identify the patients that would benefit from immunotherapy and monitor its efficacy. Using an in vitro model of endotoxin tolerance (ET), a pivotal feature of sepsis-induced immunosuppression in monocytes, we identified using gene expression profiling by microarray a panel of transcripts associated with the development of ET which expression was restored after immunostimulation with interferon-gamma (IFN-). These results were confirmed by qRT-PCR. Importantly, this short-list of markers was further evaluated in patients. Of these transcripts, six (TNFAIP6, FCN1, CXCL10, GBP1, CXCL5 and PID1) were differentially expressed in septic shock patients blood compared to healthy blood upon ex vivo LPS stimulation and were restored by IFN-. In this study, by combining a microarray approach in an in vitro model and a validation in clinical samples, we identified a panel of six transcripts that could be used for the identification of septic patients eligible for IFNg therapy. The potential value of these markers should now be evaluated in a larger cohort of patients. Upon favorable results, they could serve as stratification tools prior to immunostimulatory treatment and to monitor drug efficacy.

Description
Dioxygenases of the TET family impact genome functions by converting 5-methylcytosine in DNA to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, but the individual contribution of the three family members to differentiation and function of myeloid cells is still incompletely understood. Using cells with a deletion in the Tet2 gene, we show that TET2 contributes to the regulation of mast cell differentiation, proliferation and effector functions. The differentiation defect observed in absence of TET2 could be however completely rescued or further exacerbated by modulating TET3 activity, and it was primarily linked to dysregulated expression of the C/EBP family of transcription factors. In contrast, hyper-proliferation induced by the lack of TET2 could not be modified by TET3. Together, our data indicate the existence of both overlapping and unique roles of individual TET proteins in regulating myeloid cell gene expression, proliferation and function. Overall design: Total mRNA of FACS-sorted Kit+ FceRIa+ populations of primary bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) from Tet2-/- and Tet2+/+ animals was extracted and subjected to multiparallel sequencing.

Description
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have generated interest for regenerative medicine as they allow for producing patient-specific progenitors in vitro with potential value for cell therapy. In many instances, however, an off-the-shelf approach would be desirable, such as for cell therapy of acute conditions or when the patient's somatic cells are altered as a consequence of chronic disease or aging. Cord blood (CB) stem cells appear ideally suited for this purpose as they are newborn, immunologically immature cells with minimal genetic and epigenetic alterations, and several hundred thousand immunotyped CB units are readily available through a worldwide network of CB banks. Here, we show that CB stem cells can be reprogrammed to pluripotency by retroviral transduction with OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC, in a process that is extremely efficient and fast. The resulting CB-derived iPS (CBiPS) cells are phenotypically and molecularly indistinguishable from human embryonic stem (hES) cells. Furthermore, we show that generation of CBiPS can be efficiently achieved without the use of the c-MYC and KLF4 oncogenes and just by overexpression of OCT4 and SOX2. Our studies set the basis for the creation of a comprehensive bank of HLA-matched CBiPS cells for off-the-shelf applications.

Description
Septic shock is the most severe complication of sepsis, associated with high mortality. The patient's response to supportive therapy is very heterogeneous and the underlying mechanisms are still elusive. In order to identify which are the actors (genes and pathways) that play a role in establishing the response, we investigate the whole blood transcriptome in septic shock patients with positive and negative responses to early supportive hemodynamic therapy, assessed by changes in SOFA scores within the first 48 hours from ICU admission. We pinpointed genes and pathways that are differently modulated and enriched respectively within 48hrs between responders and non-responders. Overall design: We analyzed 31 patients (17 Responders and 14 Not Responders to early therapy). For each patient, 2 samples were collected. In particular the first sample (T1) collected within 16 hours from ICU admission whereas the second (T2) collected within 48 hours from ICU admission. Experimental groups (Responders and Not Responders) are defined accordingly with SOFA scores improvements within 48 hours.

Description
IL-4/GFP- enhanced transcript (4Get) reporter mice were infected with 200 PFU of Influenza A virus PR8 strain. At day 3 of infection, mediastinal lymph nodes were harvested and GFP+ cells sorted and separated by their ability to bind a CD1d-tetramer (Tet+ n=133 , Tet- n=109 ). Single-cell RNA-Seq was used to identify subpopulations of IL-4 producing cells. Single-cell transcriptomes were clustered using Seurat and differentially expressed genes within each cluster were used to resolve IL-4+ subpopulations and aid in defining their role in initiating B cell immunity during influenza infection. Overall design: Examine cells involved in accute viral response in the lymph node after influenza infection
