Project description:The mechanisms of inflammation in acne are not well understood. This study performed in two separate patient populations focused on the activation of adaptive and innate immunity in early inflamed acne. Biopsies were collected from lesional and non-lesional skin of acne patients. Psoriasis patients and healthy volunteers were included in the study for comparison (not included in the records). Using Affymetrix Genechips, we observed significant elevation of the signature cytokines of the Th17 lineage in acne lesions compared to non-lesional skin. The increased expression of IL-17 was confirmed with real-time qPCR (RT-PCR) in two separate patient populations. Cytokines involved in Th17 lineage differentiation (IL-1beta, IL-6, TGF-beta; IL23p19) were remarkably induced at the RNA level. In addition, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-8, TNF-α), Th1 markers (IL12p40, CXCR3, T-bet, IFN-gamma), T regulatory cell markers (Foxp3, IL-10, TGF-β) and antimicrobial peptides (S100A7, S100A9, LNC2, hBD2, hBD3, hCAP18) were induced. Importantly, immunohistochemistry revealed significantly increased numbers of IL-17A positive T cells and CD83 dendritic cells in the acne lesions. In summary our results demonstrate the presence of IL17A positive T cells and the activation of Th17-related cytokines in acne lesions, indicating that the Th17 pathway may play a pivotal role in the disease process, offering new targets of therapy.

Project description:The pathogenesis of acne has been linked to multiple factors such as increased sebum production, inflammation, follicular hyperkeratinization, and the action of Propionibacterium acnes within the follicle. In an attempt to understand the specific genes involved in inflammatory acne, we performed gene expression profiling in acne patients. Skin biopsies were obtained from an inflammatory papule and from normal skin in six patients with acne. Biopsies were also taken from normal skin of six subjects without acne. Gene array expression profiling was conducted using Affymetrix HG-U133A 2.0 arrays comparing lesional to nonlesional skin in acne patients and comparing nonlesional skin from acne patients to skin from normal subjects. Within the acne patients, 211 genes are upregulated in lesional skin compared to nonlesional skin. A significant proportion of these genes are involved in pathways that regulate inflammation and extracellular matrix remodeling, and they include matrix metalloproteinases 1 and 3, IL-8, human beta-defensin 4, and granzyme B. These data indicate a prominent role of matrix metalloproteinases, inflammatory cytokines, and antimicrobial peptides in acne lesions. These studies are the first describing the comprehensive changes in gene expression in inflammatory acne lesions and are valuable in identifying potential therapeutic targets in inflammatory acne. Experiment Overall Design: total 18 chips. 6 for acne lesion samples, 6 for normal skin samples, 6 for non-acne patient normal skin samples

Project description:Transplant rejection is a major factor limiting allograft survival. CircRNAs are reported to be strongly associated with various diseases pathogenesis. However, the potential role of circRNAs in cardiac transplant rejection are rarely reported. Here, differentially expressed mRNAs and circRNAs were determined by microarrays in allogeneic cardiac allografts. Functional analysis was then performed and a full-scale functional blueprint of the circRNA-associated-ceRNA networks was constructed. Among the circRNA networks, circ23123 expression was negatively linked with cytolytic molecules of CD8+ T cells by targeting miR155-SOCS1 axis. We illustrated a new comprehensive view of circRNAs and their potential functional impact in cardiac transplantation. It may provide a prospective for therapeutic strategy on organ transplant rejection in the future.

Project description:Increasing evidence indicates that gut microbiota plays an important role in cancer progression. We have employed RNA-seq or microarray for genome including mRNA, microRNA or circRNA profiling in an gut microbiota -dependent manner, as a discovery platform to identify target genes with the potential to involve in tumor regulation. The deep sequencing analysis reveals regulatory functions of microbiota-mediated circular RNA (circRNA)/microRNA networks that may contribute to cancer progression.

Project description:Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an acute digestive system disease with high morbidity mortality and hospitalization rate worldwide, due to various causes and unknown pathogenesis. In recent years, a large number of studies have confirmed that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play an important role in many cellular processes and disease occurrence. However, the underlying mechanisms based on the function of ncRNAs, including long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA), in SAP remain unclear. In this study, we performed high-throughput sequencing on the pancreatic tissues of 3 normal mice and 3 SAP mice for the first time to describe and analyze the expression profiles of ncRNAs, including lncRNA and circRNA. Our results identified that 49 lncRNAs, 56 circRNAs and 1194 mRNAs were differentially expressed in the SAP group, compared with the control group. Furthermore, we performed Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of differentially expressed lncRNAs and circRNAs, and found that the functions of the parental genes are enriched in the calcium-regulated signaling pathway, NF-κB signaling pathway, autophagy and protein digestion and absorption processes, which are closely related to the central events in pathogenesis of SAP. We also constructed lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks to further explore their underlying mechanism and possible relationships in SAP. We found that in the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks, differentially expressed lncRNAs and circRNAs are mainly involved in the apoptosis pathway and calcium signal transduction pathway. In conclusion, we found that lncRNAs and circRNAs play an important role in the pathogenesis of SAP, which may provide new insights in further exploring the pathogenesis of SAP and seek new targets for SAP.
