Monocyte Transmigration

ABSTRACT: We investigated the hypothesis that transmigration drives monocyte transcriptional changes. Using Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarrays, we identified over 600 differentially expressed genes (2x, p<0.05) in freshly isolated human monocytes following 1.5 h of transmigration across IL1beta-stimulated ECs compared to untreated monocytes. Genes up-regulated by monocyte transmigration belong to a number of overrepresented functional groups including immune response, and inhibition of apoptosis. qRT-PCR confirmed increased expression of monocyte chemotactic proteins 1 and 3 and of NLR family apoptosis inhibitory protein (NAIP) following monocyte transmigration. In addition, quantification of annexin V binding revealed a reduction in apoptosis following monocyte transmigration. Comparison of gene expression in transmigrated monocytes to additional controls (monocytes which failed to transmigrate and monocytes incubated beneath stimulated ECs) revealed 89 differentially expressed genes which were controlled by the physical process of diapedesis. Functional annotation of these genes showed down-regulation of antimicrobial genes (e.g. alpha-defensin down 50x, cathelicidin down 9x, and cathepsin G down 3x). qRT-PCR confirmed down-regulation of these genes. Immunoblots confirmed that monocyte transmigration down-regulates alpha-defensin protein expression. Overall, these data indicate that exposure of monocytes to stimulated ECs promotes further monocyte recruitment and inhibits monocyte apoptosis. Unexpectedly, following transmigration monocytes displayed reduced anti-microbial expression. Monocytes were allowed to transmigrate across IL1b stimulated HUVEC. Monocytes which transmigrated and monocytes which failed to transmigrate were collected after 1.5 hours from 3 experimental replicates of different human donors. Untreated monocytes were collected as a control from 4 human donors. Monocytes incubated beneath stimulated HUVEC for 1.5 hours were also collected from four human donors as a control.

We investigated the hypothesis that transmigration drives monocyte transcriptional changes. Using Agilent whole human genome microarrays, we identified over 692 differentially expressed genes (2x, P<0.05) in freshly isolated human monocytes following 1.5 h of transmigration across IL-1beta-stimulated ECs compared with untreated monocytes. Genes up-regulated by monocyte transmigration belong to a number of over-represented functional groups including immune response and inhibition of apoptosis. q ...[more]

Project description:The role and essentiality of silicon (Si) in plant biology has been debated for over 150 years in spite of numerous reports describing its beneficial properties. To obtain unique insights regarding the effect of Si on plants, we performed a complete transcriptome analysis of both control and powdery mildew-stressed Arabidopsis plants, with or without Si application, using a 44K microarray. Surprisingly, the expression of all but two genes was unaffected by Si in control plants, a result contradicting reports of possible direct effect of Si as a fertilizer. In contrast, inoculation of plants, treated or not with Si, altered the expression of a set of nearly 4,000 genes. Following functional categorization, many of the up-regulated genes were defense-related whereas a large proportion of down-regulated genes were involved in primary metabolism. Regulated defense genes included R genes, stress-related transcription factors, genes involved in signal transduction, the biosynthesis of stress hormones (SA, JA, ethylene), and the metabolism of reactive oxygen species. In inoculated plants treated with Si, the magnitude of down-regulation was attenuated by over 25%, an indication of stress alleviation. Our results demonstrate that Si treatment had no effect on the metabolism of unstressed plants suggesting a non essential role for the element, but that it has beneficial properties attributable to modulation of a more efficient response to pathogen stress. Experiment Overall Design: A loop design with complete dye-swap was used as experimental design for comparing plants submitted to four treatments and three biological replicates for a total of 24 Agilent Arabidopsis 3 microarrays. Two factors experimental factors : response to a compound (Silicon, treated or not treated) and disease state (Erysiphe cichoracearum, normal vs. diseased). Each factor had two levels. For each of the four combinations of factors, three plants were randomly selected. Thus a total of 12 plants were used for the experiment. RNA was extracted from rosette leaves.
