Cytokines such as TNF-alpha and IL-1beta are known for their contribution to inflammatory processes in liver . In contrast, the cytokine IL-17 has not yet been assigned a role in liver diseases. IL-17 can cooperate with TNF-alpha to induce a synergistic response on several target genes in different cell lines, but no data exist for primary hepatocytes. To enhance our knowledge on the impact of IL-17 alone and combined with TNF-alpha in primary murine hepatocytes a comprehensive microarray study was designed. IL-1beta was included as this cytokine is suggested to act in a similar manner as the combination of TNF-alpha and IL-17, especially with respect to its role in mRNA stabilization. Results: The present microarray analysis demonstrates that primary murine hepatocytes responded to IL-17 stimulation by upregulation of chemokines and genes, which are functionally responsible to increase and sustain inflammation. Cxcl2, Nfkbiz and Zc3h12a were strongly induced, whereas the majority of the genes were only very moderately upregulated.

View SamplesExosomes are small membrane vesicles (30-100 nm in diameter) secrted by numerous cells. Exosome have been shown to contain mRNA and DNA. We found at least two types of salivary exosomes (exosome I and exosome II) that are different in size and have different proteome. In previous study, we performed small RNA transcriptome analysis by next generation sequencing technology and reported that many types of small RNA, such as miRNA, piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA), small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), other small RNAs and genomic repeats were contained in exosome I, II and whole saliva. In this study, we performed whole-transcriptome analysis using cDNA libraries constructed from total RNA except small RNAs. We found that 11-32% of reads from salivary exosomes and whole saliva were mapped to pseudogene. The Data Access Committee of the National Bioscience Database Center (NBDC) approved that this personal genetic data were made published according to NBDC data sharing guidelines (http://humandbs.biosciencedbc.jp/).

View SamplesThe molecular responses of Grey poplar (Populus x canescens) following root hypoxia were studied in roots and leaves using transcript profiling. Grey poplar is a flooding tolerant tree species and analysis of the molecular response to hypoxia may indicate possible adaptation mechanisms to this stress.
