Project description:Fibroblast were isolated from either back or forearm punch biopsies taken by Dr. Kari Connolly(UCSF) from either normal control patients, patients with a diagnosis of Systemic Sclerosis with Diffuse Scleroderma and patients with a diagnosis of morphea. Scleroderma fibroblast were grown to confluence, media was changed and the RNA prepared from the cells 48 hrs later (to avoid serum responsive genes). A disease state experiment design type is where the state of some disease such as infection, pathology, syndrome, etc is studied. User Defined

Project description:Localized scleroderma (LoS), or morphea, refers to a group of rare autoimmune connective tissue diseases. Autologous fat grafting was able to correct volume loss in patients with LoS to improve facial disfigurement.However, whether it could exert a positive effect on reversing skin sclerosis remains unclear.

Project description:We have analyzed the genome-wide patterns of gene expression with DNA microarrays in skin biopsies from 34 subjects: 17 patients with SSc with diffuse scleroderma (dSSc), 7 patients with SSc with limited scleroderma (lSSc), 3 patients with morphea and 6 healthy controls. In total, 61 skin biopsies were analyzed. The addition of 14 technical replicates resulted in a total of 75 microarray hybridizations. The Intrinsic_scleroderma_genes.txt supplementary file lists the 995 genes with the most consistent expression between each forearm-back pair and technical replicates, but with the highest variance across all samples analyzed. An intrinsic gene identifier algorithm was used to select a set of intrinsic scleroderma genes. A total of 34 experimental groups were defined, each representing the 34 different subjects in our study. Replicate hybridizations for a given patient were assigned to the same experimental group. Each gene was analyzed and assigned a score that is inversely related to how intrinsic the gene's expression is across the samples analyzed. The analysis was repeated on randomized data in order to estimate a False Discovery Rate (FDR). An intrinsic score of 0.3 selected 995 genes with an FDR of 4% (39 ± 7 genes) while retaining reproducible clustering of technical replicates.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE3886: Scleroderma Morphea Normal Fibroblasts GSE3887: Scleroderma Architecture Cell Lines Abstract: We used DNA microarrays representing >12,000 human genes to characterize gene expression patterns in skin biopsies from individuals with a diagnosis of systemic sclerosis with diffuse scleroderma. We found consistent differences in the patterns of gene expression between skin biopsies from individuals with scleroderma and those from normal, unaffected individuals. The biopsies from affected individuals showed nearly indistinguishable patterns of gene expression in clinically affected and clinically unaffected tissue, even though these were clearly distinguishable from the patterns found in similar tissue from unaffected individuals. Genes characteristically expressed in endothelial cells, B lymphocytes, and fibroblasts showed differential expression between scleroderma and normal biopsies. Analysis of lymphocyte populations in scleroderma skin biopsies by immunohistochemistry suggest the B lymphocyte signature observed on our arrays is from CD20+ B cells. These results provide evidence that scleroderma has systemic manifestations that affect multiple cell types and suggests genes that could be used as potential markers for the disease Refer to individual Series

Project description:The data from these cell lines is described in figure 2 of the mansucript "Systemic and cell-type specific gene expression patterns in scleroderam skin" by Whitfield et al. (2003) PNAS. Aortic smooth muscle cells and microvascular endothelial cells were obtained from Clonetics and cultured in the recommended media; Hs578T myofibroblast-like cells were grown in RPMI-1640 supplemented with phenol red, glutamine (2 mM) and 5% fetal calf serum; HeLa S3 epithelial cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and cultured as described in Whitfield et al., MBC, (2002). Normal, morphea and scleroderma fibroblasts were derived from normal, morphea and scleroderma skin biopsies taken by Dr. Kari Connolly at UCSF. In all cases, RNA was prepared from cells 48 hrs after changing the culture media to avoid the induction of serum responsive genes. Poly(A) RNA from each cell line was reverse-transcribed into Cy5-dUTP (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway NJ) labeled cDNA and reference RNA reverse-transcribed into Cy3-dUTP (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway NJ) labeled cDNA using standard methods. Cells grown in culture were analyzed on cDNA microarrays containing 40,512 elements representing 28,384 UniGene clusters (UniGene Build No. 155, released 9-28-2002) manufactured in the Stanford Microarray Facility (http://www.microarray.org). Equal amounts of Cy5- and Cy3-labeled cDNA were hybridized to spotted cDNA microarrays and scanned using a GenePix 4000A Scanner (Axon Instruments, Union City CA). Detailed protocols are available at http://brownlab.stanford.edu/protocols.html/. Data were extracted by superimposing a grid over each array using GenePix 3.0 software (Axon Instruments, Union City CA). Spots of poor quality, determined by visual inspection, were excluded from further analysis. A cell type comparison design experiment design type compares cells of different type for example different cell lines. Computed

Project description:Fibrosis is regulated by interactions between immune and mesenchymal cells. However, the capacity of cell types to modulate human fibrosis pathology is poorly understood due to lack of a fully humanized model system. MISTRG6 mice were engineered by homologous mouse/human gene replacement to develop an immune system like humans when engrafted with human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) (1, 2). We utilized MISTRG6 mice to model scleroderma by transplantation of healthy or scleroderma skin from a patient with pansclerotic morphea to humanized mice engrafted with unmatched allogeneic HSC. We discovered that scleroderma skin grafts contained both skin and bone marrow derived human CD4 and CD8 T cells along with human endothelial cells and pericytes. Unlike healthy skin, fibroblasts in scleroderma skin were depleted and replaced by mouse fibroblasts. Furthermore, HSC engraftment alleviated multiple signatures of fibrosis, including expression of collagen and interferon genes, and proliferation and activation of human T cells. Fibrosis improvement correlated with reduced markers of T cell activation and expression of human IL-6 by mesenchymal cells. Mechanistic studies supported a model whereby IL-6 trans-signaling driven by CD4 T cell derived soluble IL-6 receptor complexed with fibroblast derived IL-6 promoted excess ECM gene expression. Thus, MISTRG6 mice transplanted with scleroderma skin demonstrated multiple fibrotic responses centered around human IL-6 signaling, which was improved by the presence of healthy bone marrow derived immune cells. Our results highlight the importance of IL-6 trans-signaling in pathogenesis of scleroderma and the ability of healthy bone marrow derived immune cells to mitigate disease.
