Description
In addition to gaining knowledge on in vivo miRNA responses to formaldehyde, we set out to relate these miRNA responses to transcriptional profiles modified by formaldehyde. Rats were exposed by inhalation to either 0 or 2 ppm formaldehyde (6 hours/day) for 28 days. Genome-wide transcriptional profiles and associated signaling pathways were assessed within the nasal respiratory mucosa and circulating mononuclear white blood cells (WBC).

Description
CD4+ cells from Foxp3.eGFP mice containing Foxp3- Teff and Foxp3+ Treg cells were treated with anti-CD3/CD28 monoclonal antibodies or soluble OX40L and JAG1 for 3 days to induce TCR-dependent vs TCR-independent Treg proliferation. Untreated fresh CD4+ T-cells used as control. Post treatment T-cell proliferation was confirmed by Cell Trace violet dilution and Foxp3+ (Treg) and Foxp3-(Teff) were sorted. Differential gene expression profiling between Tregs and Teff cells among control, anti-CD3/CD28 and OX40L-JAG1 treated cultured was performed using affymetrix mouse gene 2.0 ST micro array.

Description
Several studies indicate that SMN-containing mRNP complexes could be involved in the axonal localization of a large number of mRNAs. We have used murine motor neuron-like NSC-34 cells and RNA Immuno-Precipitation experiments coupled to microarray analyses to perform a genome-wide analysis of RNA species present in mRNP complexes containing the full length SMN protein (flSMN). In situ hybridization and immuno-fluorescence experiments performed on several candidates indicate that these mRNAs colocalize with the SMN protein in neurites and axons of differentiated NSC-34 cells. Moreover, they localize in cell processes in a SMN-dependent manner. Thus, low SMN levels might result in localization deficiencies of mRNAs required for axonogenesis.

Genome-wide identification of mRNAs associated with the protein SMN whose depletion decreases their axonal localization.

Description
The Biomarkers of Exposure to ARsenic (BEAR) pregnancy cohort in Gmez Palacio, Mexico was recently established to better understand the impacts of prenatal exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs). In this study, we examined a subset (n=40) of newborn cord blood samples for microRNA (miRNA) expression changes associated with in utero arsenic exposure. Levels of iAs in maternal drinking water (DW-iAs) and maternal urine were assessed. Levels of DW-iAs ranged from below detectable values to 236 g/L (mean=51.7 g/L). Total arsenic in maternal urine (U-tAs) was defined as the sum of iAs and its monomethylated and dimethylated metabolites (MMAs and DMAs, respectively) and ranged from 6.2 to 319.7 g/L (mean=64.5 g/L). Genome-wide miRNA expression analysis of cord blood revealed 12 miRNAs with increasing expression associated with U-tAs. Transcriptional targets of the miRNAs were computationally predicted and subsequently assessed using transcriptional profiling. Pathway analysis demonstrated that the U-tAs-associated miRNAs are involved in signaling pathways related to known health outcomes of iAs exposure including cancer and diabetes mellitus. Immune response-related mRNAs were also identified with decreased expression levels associated with U-tAs, and predicted to be mediated in part by the arsenic-responsive miRNAs. Results of this study highlight miRNAs as novel responders to prenatal arsenic exposure that may contribute to associated immune response perturbations.

Description
Room temperature whole blood mRNA stabilization procedures, such as the PAX gene system, are critical for the application of transcriptional analysis to population-based clinical studies. Global transcriptome analysis of whole blood RNA using microarrays has proven to be challenging due to the high abundance of globin transcripts that constitute 70% of whole blood mRNA in the blood. This is a particular problem in patients with sickle-cell disease, secondary to the high abundance of globin-expressing nucleated red blood cells and reticulocytes in the circulation . In order to more accurately measure the steady state whole blood transcriptome in sickle-cell patients, we evaluated the efficacy of reducing globin transcripts in PAXgene stabilized RNA samples for genome-wide transcriptome analyses using oligonucleotide arrays. We demonstrate here by both microarrays and Q-PCR that the globin mRNA depletion method resulted in 55-65 fold reduction in globin transcripts in whole blood collected from healthy volunteers and sickle-cell disease patients. This led to an improvement in microarray data quality with increased detection rate of expressed genes and improved overlap with the expression signatures of isolated peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMC) preparations. The differentially modulated genes from the globin depleted samples had a higher correlation coefficient to the 112 genes identified to be significantly altered in our previous study on sickle-cell disease using PBMC preparations. Additionally, the analysis of differences between the whole blood transcriptome and PBMC transcriptome reveals important erythrocyte genes that participate in sickle-cell pathogenesis and compensation. The combination of globin mRNA reduction after whole-blood RNA stabilization represents a robust clinical research methodology for the discovery of biomarkers for hematologic diseases and in multicenter clinical trials investigating a wide range of nonhematologic disorders where fractionation of cell types is impracticable.
