Description
Analysis of effect of long-term cryopreservation on peripheral blood mononuclear cells at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that long-term cryopreservation has an influence on the transcriptome profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Results indicated remarkable changes in expression patterns upon cryopreservation of PBMCs, with decreasing signal intensities over time.

Description
Analysis of cryopreservation effects on peripheral blood mononuclear cells at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that cryopreservation has an influence on the transcriptome profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Results indicated remarkable changes in expression patterns upon cryopreservation of PBMCs, with a strong loss of signal intensities to background levels for several transcripts.

Description
Analysis of long-term freezing on the stability of transcriptome profiles in PAXgene stabilized whole blood samples. In the present study it was tested if long-term freezing of PAXgene RNA tubes (up to one year) has an influence on the transcriptome profile of peripheral whole blood samples. Results indicated that gene expression profiles of whole blood samples stabilized with PAXgene RNA tubes remain stable for at least 1 year.

Description
We previously demonstrated by genomic and bioinformatical approaches that human macrophage (MF) activation is best described by a spectrum model (Xue et al, Immunity, 2014). MF integrate exogenous input signals on transcriptional level in a unique fashion to generate specific functional programs, enabling the plasticity in disease-related pathophysiologies. Such versatile responsiveness requires fast changes of transcription mediated by transcriptional regulators (TRs) or epigenomic changes. To better understand the principles of this regulation during human MF activation, we assessed histone modifications including H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K27me3, and H3K27Ac by ChIP-sequencing allowing us to characterize the functional state of promoters (active, poised, repressed) and enhancers (active, inactive, intermediate). Using transcriptome data from our MF spectrum model, we generated a co-regulation network of all TRs. Next, we overlaid epigenomic information and transcriptional changes of major TRs over time onto the TR network. We observed that input signals like IFN? or TNFa induce a specific network of TRs that are transcriptionally regulated themselves, the combination of regulated TRs changes over time with a boost of transcriptional regulation of dozens of TRs 4 to 12 hrs post input signal exposure, almost all TRs within the network show active promoters, even if the TR itself is not expressed, and similar results are obtained for enhancers with open or at least intermediated states. These findings strongly suggest that in MF, the TR-defined cellular ‘switch panel’ is always accessible thereby allowing MF to quickly respond to the diverse input signal repertoire from the environment. Overall design: Epigenetic analysis of promoter and enhancer sites in primary human macrophage subtypes and correlation to RNA-seq expression data

Description
The miR-17-92 microRNA cluster is often activated in cancer cells, but the identity of its targets remains largely elusive. Here we examined the effects of activation of the entire miR-17-92 cluster on global protein expression in neuroblastoma cells.

Description
Here we investigated whether sterile triggers of inflammation induce trained immunity and thereby influence innate immune responses. Western diet (WD) feeding of Ldlr-/- mice induced systemic inflammation, which was undectable in serum soon after mice were shifted back to chow diet (CD). In contrast, myeloid cell responses towards innate stimuli remained broadly augmented. WD induced transcriptomic and epigenomic reprogramming of myeloid progenitor cells, leading to increased proliferation as well as enhanced innate immune and interferon responses towards in vivo LPS challenge. QTL analysis in human monocytes trained with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and stimulated with LPS suggested inflammasome-mediated trained immunity. Consistently, Nlrp3-/-/Ldlr-/--deficient mice lacked WD-induced systemic inflammation or myeloid progenitor proliferation and reprogramming. Hence, NLRP3 mediates trained immunity following WD and could thereby arbitrate the potentially deleterious effects of trained immunity in inflammatory diseases. Overall design: Examination of GMPs in six different conditions by RNA-seq

Description
Cancer tissue-like structures were developed by using established human tumor cell lines in perfusion-based bioreactor systems. In colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines, perfusion allowed more homogeneous scaffold seeding than tri-dimensional (3D) static cultures and significantly (13.7 fold, p<0.0001) higher proliferation. Resulting tissues exhibited morphology and phenotypes similar to xenografts generated in immunodeficient mice. Whole transcriptome analysis of 2D, 3D static and 3D perfusion cultures revealed the highest correlation between xenografts and 3D perfusion cultures (r=0.985). Clinically relevant concentrations of 5-FU, used in neo- and adjuvant CRC treatment, had no effect on numbers of HT-29 CRC cells cultured in 3D perfusion or xenografts, as compared with a 55.8% reduction in 2D cultures. Treatment induced apoptosis in 2D cultures, but only “nucleolar stress” in perfused cells and xenografts, consistent with partial responsiveness. In 3D perfusion cultures BCL-2, TRAF1, and FLIP gene expression was marginally affected, as compared with significant down-regulation in 2D cell cultures. Accordingly, ABT-199 BCL-2 inhibitor, induced cytostatic effects in 3D perfusion but not in 2D cell cultures (p=0.003). Tumor cells from partially responsive (Dworak 2) patients undergoing neo-adjuvant treatment, typically (10/11) expressed BCL-2, as compared with 0/3 highly (Dworak 3-4) responsive and 4/15 fully resistant CRC (Dworak 0/1, p=0.03), closely matching 3D perfusion cultures data. These results indicate that 3D perfusion cultures efficiently mimic phenotypic and functional features observed in xenografts and clinical specimens. These models may be of critical translational relevance to address fundamental human tumor cell biology issues and to develop predictive pre-clinical tests of novel compounds. Overall design: Expression profiles of colorectal cancer cell lines cultured in 2D, 3D static, 3D perfusion or growing as xenografts were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicates, using Illumina HiSeq2000.
