Project description:Understanding how DNA sequence variation is translated into variation for complex phenotypes has remained elusive, but is essential for predicting adaptive evolution, selecting agriculturally important animals and crops, and personalized medicine. Here, we quantified genome-wide genetic variation in gene expression in the sequenced inbred lines of the Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel. We found that a substantial fraction of the Drosophila transcriptome is genetically variable and organized into modules of genetically correlated transcripts, which provide functional context for newly identified novel transcribed regions. We identified regulatory variants for the mean and variance of gene expression, both of which showed oligogenic genetic architecture. Expression quantitative trait loci the mean, but not the variance, of gene expression were concentrated near genes. This comprehensive characterization of transcriptomic diversity and its genetic basis in the DGRP is critically important for a systems understanding of quantitative trait variation.

Project description:The comparison of Th1 vs. Th17 cell expression profile has been plagued by 1) rarely use of physiologically relevant antigen-driven T helper cell differentiation; and 2) cell lineage tracking system to enrich highly pure Th subsets. We began our attempt to produce large numbers of antigen-specific T helper subsets for expression profiling, when Foxp3GFP knockin mice were first made by our laboratory in 2005. We crossed this line with syngeneic TEa TCR transgenic mice in C57BL/6 background, and use FACS to sort optimally stimulated, highly pure GFP(Foxp3)-negative populations for Th1 vs. Th17 expression profile comparison.

Project description:Analysis of differential expression using the 3’ expression module revealed 34% probe sets showed evidence for a sex bias and alternative exon sex bias was identified for 164 genes. Intriguingly, allelic imbalance was detected for 37% of 6,579 probe sets examined which contained heterozygous SNP loci. Two different isogenic strains of D. simulans, st e and C167.4 and their male and female progeny were used as the basis for the verification study. Three replicates of RNA from female and male progeny of the cross st e x C167.4 made for a total of six RNA samples. In addition, DNA was used as a control for estimating allele imbalance. Three replicates of DNA target were prepared for female st e, femaleC167.4 and the female F1 progeny of the cross st e x C167.4, for a total of 9 gDNA samples.

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis is a prototypical autoimmune arthritis affecting nearly 1% of the world population and is a significant cause of worldwide disability. Though prior studies have demonstrated the appearance of RA-related autoantibodies years before the onset of clinical RA, the pattern of immunologic events preceding the development of RA remains unclear. To characterize the evolution of the autoantibody response in the preclinical phase of RA, we used a novel multiplex autoantigen array to evaluate development of the anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and to determine if epitope spread correlates with rise in serum cytokines and imminent onset of clinical RA. To do so, we utilized a cohort of 81 patients with clinical RA for whom stored serum was available from 1-12 years prior to disease onset. We evaluated the accumulation of ACPA subtypes over time and correlated this accumulation with elevations in serum cytokines. We then used logistic regression to identify a profile of biomarkers which predicts the imminent onset of clinical RA (defined as within 2 years of testing). We observed a time-dependent expansion of ACPA specificity with the number of ACPA subtypes. At the earliest timepoints, we found autoantibodies targeting several innate immune ligands including citrullinated histones, fibrinogen, and biglycan, thus providing insights into the earliest autoantigen targets and potential mechanisms underlying the onset and development of autoimmunity in RA. Additionally, expansion of the ACPA response strongly predicted elevations in many inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12p70, and IFN-γ. Thus, we observe that the preclinical phase of RA is characterized by an accumulation of multiple autoantibody specificities reflecting the process of epitope spread. Epitope expansion is closely correlated with the appearance of preclinical inflammation, and we identify a biomarker profile including autoantibodies and cytokines which predicts the imminent onset of clinical arthritis. A total of 559 human sera were profiled using a custom made panel of putative rheumatoid arthritis associated autoantigens. The cohort was comprised of 79 patients with clinical RA for whom stored serum was available from 1-10 years prior to disease onset and 80 control subjects without RA that were matched to cases based on age, gender, race, region of assignment, and time of serum sampling.

Project description:Objective: Aging and early degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) involves the substition of notochordal cells (NCs) in the nucleus pulposus (NP) by chondrocyte-like cells (CLCs). This study investigated the gene expression profiles involved in this process using NP tissue from both non-chondrodystrophic and chondrodystrophic dogs, a species with naturally occuring IVD degeneration. Methods: Dual channel DNA microarrays were used to compare 1) healthy NP tissue, 2) NP tissue with a mixed population of NCs and CLCs, and 3) NP tissue containing solely CLCs. Canonical Wnt-signaling was validated using qPCR of relevant Wnt target genes. Caveolin-1, a known regulator of canonical Wnt signaling, was investigated further in tissue sections using qPCR and immunohistochemistry, and in cultured NCs by qPCR and immunofluorescence. Also, the NP of 3-month-old caveolin-1 knock-out mice was histopathologically evaluated and compared with wild type mice of the same age. Results: Early IVD degeneration involved significant regulations in numerous pathways, such as extracellular matrix remodeling, Bone Morphogenetic Protein- , and Wnt/beta-catenin-signaling. With regard to Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, axin2 gene expression was significantly higher in chondrodystrophic dogs compared with non-chondrodystrophic dogs. IVD degeneration involved significant downregulation of axin2 gene expression and caveolin-1 gene and protein expression. NCs showed abundant caveolin-1 expression in vivo and in vitro, whereas CLCs did not. The NP of 3-month-old WT mice were rich in viable NCs, whereas the NPs of 3-month-old caveolin-1 knock-out mice contained chondroid-like matrix with small, rounded cells, the majority of which showed morphological signs of apoptosis. Conclusions: Aging and the onset of degeneration of the IVD involve significant downregulation of canonical Wnt signaling and caveolin-1, which appears to be essential in the physiology and preservation of NCs. DNA microarrays were used to compare nucleus palposus (NP) tissue of healthy and chondrodystrophic individuals. Furthermore, the situation of the tissue was divided into three stages: NCR: notochordal cell(NC) rich; CR: tissue containing solely chondrocyte-like-cells (CLC) and T: tissue with a mixed population of NCs and CLCs. Comparisons were analysed on a 2-color platform against a common reference sample, consisting of a multitude of canine organs, including liver, spleen, kidney, lung, hart, intestine and bone.
