Illumina HiSeq 2500
Description
Interleukin (IL)-2 is a pleiotropic cytokine that is necessary to prevent chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. The protective effects of IL-2 involve the generation, maintenance and function of regulatory T cells (Tregs), and low-dose IL-2 has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. However, the cellular and molecular pathways that control the production of IL-2 in the context of intestinal health are undefined. Here we identify that IL-2 is acutely required to maintain Tregs and immunologic homeostasis throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Strikingly, lineage-specific deletion of IL-2 in T cells could recapitulate these phenotypes in the large intestine, but not in the small intestine. Unbiased analyses revealed that group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) are the dominant cellular source of IL-2 in the small intestine, which is selectively induced by IL-1ß. Macrophages produce IL-1ß in the small intestine and activation of this pathway involves MyD88- and Nod2-dependent sensing of the microbiota. Loss-of-function studies defined that ILC3-derived IL-2 is essential to maintain Tregs, immunologic homeostasis and oral tolerance to dietary antigens uniquely in the small intestine. Furthermore, ILC3 production of IL-2 was significantly reduced in the small intestine of Crohn's disease patients, and this correlated with diminished Tregs. Collectively, these results reveal a previously unappreciated pathway whereby a microbiota- and IL-1ß-dependent axis promotes ILC3 production of IL-2 to orchestrate immune regulation in the small intestine. Overall design: RNAs of ILC3s or CD4+ T cells were respectively sorted as CD45+CD3-ROR?tGFP+CD127+ or CD45+CD3+CD4+ from 3 wild type mice.

Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical mediators of host defense against bacteria. The goal of this microarray study was to understand the global transcriptional response of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) upon exposure to live bacteria, to better understand how DCs orchestrate a host-protective immune response. We found that BMDCs upregulate a number of critical immune-related genes upon exposure to live E. coli. Most notably, the gene encoding hepcidin, a critical regulator of mammalian iron homeostasis, was significantly upregulated in BMDCs upon exposure to live bacteria.
Publication Title
Dendritic cell-derived hepcidin sequesters iron from the microbiota to promote mucosal healing.

Description
Human prostate CWR22 OT-tumor cells were prospectively purified for expression of various stem cell markers (TRA-1-60/CD151/CD166/EpCAM/CD44/2-Integrin). Unsorted total tumor cells or the additional marker positive cells that do not manifest stem-like characteristics were used as control. All these cells were subjected to molecular profiling of total RNA expression and the fold change data are tabulated according to S/TFE of the purified cells in relation to their control.

- Affymetrix Murine Genome U74A Version 2 Array (mgu74av2)
Description
Analysis of gene expression profile of B16-F10 murine melanoma cells exposed to hypoxic conditions (1% oxygen) or hypoxia mimicry (cobalt chloride) for 24 hours. Gene expression profiles were analyzed using MG-U74Av2 oligonucleotide microarrays. Data analysis revealed 2541 probesets (FDR<5%) for 1% oxygen experiment and 364 probesets (FDR<5%) for cobalt chloride, that showed differences in expression levels. Analysis of hypoxia-regulated genes (1% O2) by stringent Family-Wise Error Rate estimation indicated 454 significantly changed transcripts (p<0.05). The most upregulated genes were Lgals3, Selenbp1, Nppb (more than ten-fold increase). Both hypoxia and hypoxia-mimicry induced HIF-1 regulated genes. However, unsupervised analysis (Singular Value Decomposition) revealed distinct differences between gene expression induced by these two experimental conditions.
