The adenosine 2A receptor (A2AR) is expressed on regulatory T cells (Tregs), but the functional significance is currently unknown. We compared the gene expression between wild-type (WT) and A2AR knockout (KO) Tregs and between WT Tregs treated with vehicle or a selective A2AR agonist.
Autocrine adenosine signaling promotes regulatory T cell-mediated renal protection.

View SamplesPurpose: The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) links the nervous and immune systems and modulates innate and adaptive immunity. The goals of this study are to identify the new downstream signaling of a7nAChR in macrophages. Methods: Peritoneal macrophages isolated from a7nAChR+/+ and a7nAChR-/- mice were treated with nicotine (10 µM) and/or LPS (100 ng/ml), then RNA-seq was performed. Results: Genes were selected that had more than 4-fold relative gene expression in nicotine-treated cells compared to the control group (vehicle-treated). The same calculation was applied to nicotine+LPS-treated cells and LPS-treated cells and 264 genes were identified as genes commonly induced by nicotine based on these two comparisons. Then relative gene expression was compared between a7nAChR+/+- and a7nAChR-/- -derived cells. 18 genes were finally selected whose expressions are suppressed (<1/2) in a7nAChR-/- -derived peritoneal macrophages. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis focused on the new downstream signaling of a7nAChR in macrophages, generated by RNA-seq technology. We newly revealed the important anti-inflammatory role of Hes1 in the CAP using some functional experiments. Overall design: Peritoneal macrophage's mRNA profiles of wild type (WT) and a7nAChR-/- mice treated with Nicotine and/or LPS were generated by deep sequencing.
Non-canonical cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway-mediated activation of peritoneal macrophages induces Hes1 and blocks ischemia/reperfusion injury in the kidney.

View SamplesMicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA species, some of which are playing important roles in cell differentiation. However, the level of participations of microRNAs in epithelial cell differentiation is largely unknown. Here, we found that expression levels of four microRNAs (miR-210, miR-338-3p, miR-33a and miR-451) were significantly increased in differentiated stage of T84 cells, compared with undifferentiated stage. Additionally, we demonstrate that miR-338-3p and miR-451 contribute to the formation of epithelial basolateral polarity by facilitating translocalization of beta1 integrin to the basolateral membrane. However, candidate target mRNAs of miR-338-3p and miR-451 and the mechanism behind observed phenomena is uncertain. Then, we performed comprehensive gene expression analysis to identify candidate target mRNAs and understand their mechanisms.

View SamplesIn murine large intestinal lamina propria, CX3CR1high resident Mfs possess anti-inflammatory properties and thereby support intestinal homeostasis. Unlike other tissue-resident Ms, transcription factors that regulate differentiation and function of CX3CR1high Ms in the large intestine are poorly understood. Thus, to identify transcription factors specifically expressed in CX3CR1high Ms among large intestinal lamina propria innate myeloid cells, we comprehensively analyzed the genes expression profiles in CX3CR1high Ms, CX3CR1- CD11b+ CD11c+ cells, CD11b- CD11chigh DCs, and CD11b+CD11c- cells.
