Abstract: Background: Publicly available datasets of microarray gene expression signals represent an unprecedented opportunity for extracting genomic relevant information and validating biological hypotheses. However, the exploitation of this exceptionally rich mine of information is still hampered by the lack of appropriate computational tools, able to overcome the critical issues raised by meta-analysis. Results: This work presents A-MADMAN, an open source web application which allows the retrieval, annotation, organization and meta-analysis of gene expression datasets obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus. A-MADMAN addresses and resolves several open issues in the metaanalysis of gene expression data. Conclusion: A-MADMAN allows i) the batch retrieval from Gene Expression Omnibus and the local organization of raw data files and of any related meta-information, ii) the re-annotation of samples to fix incomplete, or otherwise inadequate, metadata and to create user-defined batches of data, iii) the integrative analysis of data obtained from different Affymetrix platforms through custom chip definition files and meta-normalization. Software and documentation are available online at http://compgen.bio.unipd.it/bioinfo/amadman/.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase is a signaling protein in long-term tolerance by dendritic cells
Maria Teresa Pallotta,Ciriana Orabona,Claudia Volpi,Carmine Vacca,Maria Laura Belladonna,Roberta Bianchi,Giuseppe Servillo,Cinzia Brunacci,Mario Calvitti,Silvio Bicciato,Emilia Maria Cristina Mazza,Louis Boon,Fabio Grassi,Maria C. Fioretti,Francesca Fallarino,Paolo Puccetti,Ursula Grohmann +16 more
TL;DR: It is found that IDO was involved in intracellular signaling events responsible for the self-amplification and maintenance of a stably regulatory phenotype in pDCs and has a tonic, nonenzymic function that contributes to TGF-β-driven tolerance in noninflammatory contexts.
Comprehensive literature review and statistical considerations for GWAS meta-analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic search from PubMed and manual collection to obtain 620 genomic meta-analysis papers, of which 333 microarray metaanalysis papers are summarized as the basis of this paper and the other 249 GWAS meta analysis papers are discussed in the next companion paper.

TL;DR: This article systematically reviews the GWAS meta-analysis literature, highlighting methodology and software options and reviewing methods that have been used in real studies, and illustrating differences among methods using a case study.
Metabotropic glutamate receptor-4 modulates adaptive immunity and restrains neuroinflammation
Francesca Fallarino,Claudia Volpi,Francesco Fazio,Serena Notartomaso,Carmine Vacca,Carla L. Busceti,Silvio Bicciato,Giuseppe Battaglia,Valeria Bruno,Paolo Puccetti,Maria C. Fioretti,Ferdinando Nicoletti,Ursula Grohmann,Roberto Di Marco +13 more
TL;DR: The high amounts of glutamate in neuroinflammation might reflect a counterregulatory mechanism that is protective in nature and might be harnessed therapeutically for restricting immunopathology in multiple sclerosis.

Transcriptomic profiling of the development of the inflammatory response in human monocytes in vitro.
Paola Italiani,Emilia Maria Cristina Mazza,Davide Lucchesi,Ingrid Cifola,Claudia Gemelli,Alexis Grande,Cristina Battaglia,Silvio Bicciato,Diana Boraschi +8 more
TL;DR: An in vitro model that recapitulates the different phases of the reaction (recruitment, initiation, development, and resolution), based on human primary blood monocytes exposed to sequential changes in microenvironmental conditions can help in identifying regulatory mechanisms in physiological conditions and during pathological derangements.

TL;DR: There is no obvious downside to using RMA and attaching a standard error (SE) to this quantity using a linear model which removes probe-specific affinities, and the exploratory data analyses of the probe level data motivate a new summary measure that is a robust multi-array average (RMA) of background-adjusted, normalized, and log-transformed PM values.
