example 1

[0207] Example 1: Materials and methods

[0208] Briefly, gene expression profiles were measured at 18 time points (0.5 hours to 72 days) under Th17 conditions (IL-6, TGF-β1) or control (Th0) using the Affymetrix microarray HT_MG-430A . Differentially expressed genes were detected using the common parts of the four inference methods, and the genes were clustered using k-means with automatically derived k. By looking for a significant (p-5 and fold enrichment >1.5) overlap to infer temporal regulatory interactions. Candidates for perturbation are lexicographically ranked using network-based and expression-based features. Perturbation for siRNA delivery using SiNWs. These methods are described in more detail below.

[0312] Example 2: Transcriptional time course of Th17 differentiation

[0313] Differentiation of naive CD4+ T-cells into Th17 cells was induced using TGF-β1 and IL-6, and at eighteen time points along a 72-hour time course during the differentiation of naive CD4+ T-cells into Th17 cells Using microarrays to measure transcriptional profiles, this differentiation was induced by combining the anti-inflammatory cytokine TGF-β1 and the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 (Fig. Figure 6A , Figure 6B and Figure 6C , see method in Example 1). As a control, the mRNA profile (Th0) of cells activated without addition of differentiation cytokines was measured. 1,291 genes specifically differentially expressed during Th17 differentiation were identified by comparing these Th17 differentiated cells with control cells (see method in Example 1) and divided into 20 gene clusters showing different time profiles. Expression clusters (k-means clustering, see method in example 1, Fig. 1b and ...

[0322] Example 3: Inference of Dynamic Regulatory Interactions

[0323] It was hypothesized that each of these clusters (Fig. 1b) encompassed genes sharing regulators that were active at the relevant time point. To predict these regulators, general networks of regulator-target associations from published genome profiles were assembled (Linhart, C., Halperin, Y. & Shamir, R. .Transcription factor and microRNA motif discovery: the Amadeus platform and a compendium of metazoan target sets Zheng (Zheng), G. et al.

Abstract

This invention relates generally to compositions and methods for identifying the regulatory network that modulates, controls or otherwise influences T cell balance, for example, Thl7 cell differentiation, maintenance and / or function, as well compositions and methods for exploiting the regulatory network that modulates, controls or otherwise influences T cell balance in a variety of therapeutic and / or diagnostic indications. This invention also relates generally to identifying and exploiting target genes and / or target gene products that modulate, control or otherwise influence T cell balance in a variety of therapeutic and / or diagnostic indications.
