Project description:Sarcoidosis, a systemic granulomatous syndrome invariably affecting the lung, typically spontaneously remits but in ~20% of cases progresses with severe lung dysfunction or cardiac and neurologic involvement (complicated sarcoidosis). Unfortunately, current biomarkers fail to distinguish patients with remitting (uncomplicated) sarcoidosis from other fibrotic lung disorders, and fail to identify individuals at risk for complicated sarcoidosis. We utilized genome-wide peripheral blood gene expression analysis to identify a gene signature distinguishing sarcoidosis from healthy controls, which also served as a molecular signature for complicated sarcoidosis. Total RNA was isolated from PBMCs using standard molecular biology protocols without DNA contamination or RNA degradation. Sample processing (e.g., cDNA generation, fragmentation, end labeling, hybridization to Affymetrix GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST arrays) was performed per manufacturer’s instructions. A total of 29 African descent American (AA) and 10 European descent American (EA) patients with sarcoidosis were included in the overall sarcoidosis cohort with 18 AA and 4 EA patients diagnosed with complicated sarcoidosis.

Project description:Background-The endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) plays an important role within the protein C (PC) pathway in regulating coagulation and inflammation. Recently, we described a novel mechanism of EPCR release from the surface of primary physiological cells. Induced by exogenous activated protein C (APC), EPCR is released in microparticulate form. Its bound APC retains proteolytic anticoagulant activity and we now hypothesise that this microparticulate EPCR-APC complex can also cleave endothelial protease activated receptor 1 (PAR1) to modulate inflammation and cytoprotection. Methods & Results-The gene profiling effect on human endothelial cells by 40nM APC, in free or microparticulate form, was assessed. Transcript profile results showed upregulation of anti-apoptotic and inflammatory genes by APC in either form, which were confirmed by RT-PCR. These translated into increased GM-CSF and interleukin 8 secretion and cytoprotection against staurosporine-induced apoptosis. PC or PAR1 antagonism reversed these results to demonstrate that induced effects by microparticles were APC specific and PAR1-dependent. Further analysis of human plasma from septic patients, by confocal microscopy and ELISA, showed evidence of circulating microparticle-associated EPCR during recombinant APC treatment. Functional coagulation and cellular studies demonstrate that these express APC-specific effects on anticoagulation with PAR1-mediated gene induction and anti-apoptotic function. Conclusions-APC induction of microparticle-associated EPCR release can occur in vivo. These microparticles could potentially disseminate the function of the EPCR-APC complex to PAR1 on different cells and vascular sites. Keywords: pre versus rhAPC-treatment mp in vivo MP were isolated from sepsis patients pre and during-rhAPC treatment. MP were counted by FACS using CD13 positivity and same number of mp was used in pre and during treatment comparisons. HUVEC were incubated with the in vivo mps according to mp number or apc content, and controls for both were done using non-treated patients or free-apc. The role of apc and par1 was analysed by including apc blocking antibody or par1 antaginist peptide respectively.

Project description:Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem immuno-inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that most commonly involves the lungs. We hypothesized that an unbiased approach to identify pathways activated in alveolar macrophagesâa key immuno-inflammatory cell in the lungâcan shed light on the pathogenesis of this complex disease. Methods: We recruited 15 patients with various stages of sarcoidosis and 12 healthy controls. All subjects underwent bronchoscopy with lavage. For each subject, total RNA was extracted from bronchoalveolar (BAL) cells and hybridized to an Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133A 2.0 microarray. Rigorous statistical methods were applied to identify differential gene expression between subjects with sarcoidosis vs. controls. To better elucidate pathways differentially activated between these groups, we applied gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) to the transcriptional profiles of BAL cells. We used false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.01 to designate significant enrichment. Results: Sarcoid patients were either non-smokers or ex-smokers, all had lung involvement and only 2 were on systemic prednisone. Healthy controls were all non-smokers. Comparison of BAL cell gene expression between sarcoidosis and healthy subjects revealed over 1200 differentially expressed genes at an FDR cutoff < 0.01. Several previously described immune mediators, such as interferon gamma, were up-regulated in the sarcoidosis subjects. Since genes often exert their influence through functionally coherent modules, we performed GSEA based on global expression profiles of alveolar macrophages between the subject groups. We identified more than 200 gene sets enriched in patients with sarcoidosis whereas very few pathways were over-represented in the healthy controls. Many of the sarcoidosis-associated pathways mapped to inflammatory and immune-related processes including T-cell signaling, graft vs. host disease, IL-12, IL-23, and IL-17 pathways, and oxidative phosphorylation. However, we also found and confirmed significant alteration in Proteasome-related pathways. Conclusions: BAL cells in sarcoidosis are characterized by enrichment of distinct transcriptional networks involved in immuno-inflammatory and proteasomal processes. Our findings add to the growing evidence implicating airspace resident cells in the pathogenesis of sarcoidoisis and identify specific pathways whose activation may modulate disease progression. Total RNA from BAL cells of 15 subjects with sarcoidosis and 12 healthy controls was hybridized to 27 Affymetrix Genechip Human U133A 2.0 microarrays

Project description:Endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR, PROCR) is a single-pass transmembrane glycoprotein that is detected on the surface of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and stem cells. Besides the anti-coagulation role, EPCR can mediate intracellular signaling of activated protein C (aPC)[7]. The activation of downstream protein kinase B (AKT) promotes cell growth, improves cardiac function, and favors tumor progression. However, the role of EPCR in pathological retinal neovascularization remains unclear.To investigate the role of EPCR in endothelial cell function, we knockdown EPCR with siRNA and compared with siCtrl. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 4 different samples each condition.

Keywords: free apc versus mp-apc MP were isolated from huvec after estimulation with apc; the apc content of the mp was estimated by chromogenic substrate and a standard curve. 40nM apc on mp was used for estimulation of huvec for 4 hours for study of gene expression. APC relevance was studied by blocking experiments with antibody and par1 involvement was studied by including a par1 antagonist. All experiments were done in triplicate. A basline control was obtained by looking at the profile of non-estimulated cells under the same conditions.
