Project description:Synovial biopsies from rheumatoid arthritis patients were obtained and profiled using RNA-seq. Patients were stratified according to the number of swollen joints they had (SJC, swollen joint count) and divided in three groups for the differential expression analysis: None (SJC = 0), Low (1<= SJC <= 8), High (SJC > 8).

Project description:Enucleated oocytes have the remarkable ability to reprogram somatic nuclei back to totipotency. Here we investigate genome-scale DNA methylation patterns after nuclear transfer and identify specific targets for DNA demethylation as well as NT specific limitations. We find that the ooplasm can confer similar demethylation patterns in both processes except at some repetitive element classes and that germ-line associated promoters are specifically targeted in NT.

Project description:In osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), many pathological alterations result from aberrant macrophage hyperactivation in the inflamed synovial membrane, and inhibition of macrophage effector functions is a therapeutic strategy in both diseases. Little is known, about the specific genetic circuits that are differentially deregulated in RA and OA macrophages. microRNA (miR) are short single stranded non-coding RNAs involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Altered expression of miRs has been described under various pathological conditions, including rheumatic and other autoimmune diseases. Here we compared the miR expression profile in macrophages isolated from OA and RA patients miR expression in OA and RA macrophages was analyzed using Exiqon miRCURY microarrays. Three biological replicates (patients) were analyzed. Two samples (RA vs OA) were hybridized per microarray.

Project description:We present genome-scale maps of DNA methylation in early human development and perform comparative analysis to mouse that confirm a conserved global erasure of the paternal genome. We find that while many global features of the early embryo are consistent between the two species, the target sequences in which DNA methylation is maintained are distinct. Repetitive elements show a broader range of class specific behaviors in the human embryo and a larger degree of methylation escape in human sperm. We identify thousands of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) that are likely of maternal origin and found that these gamete contributed DMRs are far more species-specific than expected given the conservation of canonical imprint control regions (ICRs). Finally, we extended our studies to the derivation of new human embryonic stem cell (ESC) lines and found notable divergences in DNA methylation signatures from those found in the human embryo and different mouse ESC derivation conditions.

Project description:Analysis of neutrophil proteomic alterations induced by migration towards inflamed joints in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). In this experiment neutrophil proteomes were investigated after migration towards JIA synovial fluid in an in vitro model of a synovial membrane, compared to neutrophils incubated in synovial fluid without migration. The migration model consisted of transwell inserts with human knee synoviocytes on the undersides and HMEC endothelial cells on the insides, placed in wells containing medium with 10 % JIA synovial fluid.

Project description:After the injection of human synovial mesenchymal stem cells into the rat (Lewis strain) knee joint, synovium was investigated using species specific microarray analyses of human and rat transcripts to investigate the gene expression change after injection. Human synovial mesenchymal stem cells were injected into the rat anterior cruciate ligament transected knee. After harvesting the synovium and extraction of RNA, species specific microarray analyses were performed uisng Affymetrix microarrays to investigate the gene expression change of human and rat transcripts after injection.

Project description:Here we explored how the human macrophage response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is regulated by human synovial fibroblasts, the representative stromal cell type in the synovial lining of joints that become activated during inflammatory arthritis. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis (RNAseq) showed that co-cultured synovial fibroblasts modulate the expression of approximately one third of TNF-inducible genes in macrophages, including expression of target genes in pathways important for macrophage survival and polarization towards an alternatively activated phenotype. This work furthers our understanding of the interplay between innate immune and stromal cells during an inflammatory response, one that is particularly relevant to inflammatory arthritis. Our findings also identify modulation of macrophage phenotype as a new function for synovial fibroblasts that may prove to be a contributing factor in arthritis pathogenesis. Human CD14+ MCSF-differentiated macrophages were cultured with or without synovial fibroblasts in transwell chambers. TNF was added at Day 0, macrophages were harvested at Day 2. Total of 4 samples: (1) macrophages alone (2) macrophages with fibroblasts (3) macrophages with TNF (4) macrophages with fibroblasts and TNF. Macrophage RNA was purified using RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen). Tru-seq sample preparation kits (Illumina) were used to purify poly-A transcripts and generate libraries with multiplexed barcode adaptors. All samples passed quality control on a Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent). Paired-end reads (50 x 2 cycles, ~75x106 reads per sample) were obtained on an Illumina HiSeq 2500. The TopHat program was used to align the reads to the UCSC Hg19 human reference genome, while the Cufflinks program allowed for measurements of transcript abundance (represented by Fragments Per Kilobase of exon model per Million mapped reads (FPKM)).

Project description:The parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis is an emerging genetic model for functional analysis of DNA methylation. Here, we characterize genome-wide methylation at a base-pair resolution, and compare these results to gene expression across five developmental stages and to methylation patterns reported in other insects. An accurate assessment of DNA methylation across the genome is accomplished using bisulfite sequencing of adult females from a highly inbred line. One-third of genes show extensive methylation over the gene body, yet methylated DNA is not found in non-coding regions and rarely in transposons. Methylated genes occur in small clusters across the genome. Methylation demarcates exon-intron boundaries, with elevated levels over exons, primarily in the 5’ regions of genes. It is also elevated near the sites of translational initiation and termination, with reduced levels in 5’ and 3’ UTRs. Methylated genes have higher median expression levels and lower expression variation across development stages than non-methylated genes. There is no difference in frequency of differential splicing between methylated and non-methylated genes, and as yet no established role for methylation in regulating alternative splicing in Nasonia. Phylogenetic comparisons indicate that many genes maintain methylation status across long evolutionary time scales. Nasonia methylated genes are more likely to be conserved in insects, but even those that are not conserved show broader expression across development than comparable non-methylated genes. Finally, examination of duplicated genes shows that those paralogs that have lost methylation in the Nasonia lineage following gene duplication evolve more rapidly, show decreased median expression levels, and increased specialization in expression across development. Methylation of Nasonia genes signals constitutive transcription across developmental stages, whereas non-methylated genes show more dynamic developmental expression patterns. We speculate that loss of methylation may result in increased developmental specialization in evolution and acquisition of methylation may lead to broader constitutive expression.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human synovial tissue from thirteen individuals with arthralgia who were IgM rheumatoid factor (RF) and/or anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) positive and without any evidence of arthritis. Survival analysis was used to identify transcripts associated with arthritis after follow up. This study was performed to investigate the molecular changes in synovium preceding arthritis development in at risk individuals.
