Description
Heterochromatic position effect variegation (PEV) is the epigenetic disruption of genes expression near the new-formed eu-heterochromatic border. We characterized the inversion In(2)A4, demonstrating cis-acting PEV as well as trans-inactivation of the reporter transgenes on the opposite normal chromosome in combination with the inversion. Euchromatic breakpoint of In(2)A4 inversion was localized at 105 bp region (chr2L:21182214-21182318) of the second exon of the Mcm10 gene, the heterochromatic breakpoint is located at the block of dodecasatellite in 2L pericentromeric heterochromatin. In order to check the effects of heterochromatin on neighbor euchromatic genes and estimate the distance of inactivation spreading, we performed RNA-seq analysis of genes expression in larvae and adults females of genotypes A12/A12 (control) and In(2)A4/In(2)A4. Cis-influence of heterochromatin in the inversion causes not only repression, but also activation of genes, and the effects of heterochromatin are different at different developmental stages. Cis-actions affect only a few genes located near the heterochromatin Overall design: Comparison of genes expression in wild type and demonstrating PEV larvae and adults in two repeats each

Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
The cytotoxic drug edelfosine is a synthetic analog of 2-lysophosphatidylcholine. Edelfosine is incorporated by highly proliferating cells, e.g. activated immune cells. It is unknown if the described mechanisms for edelfosine action attained by in vitro approaches exclusively contribute to the observed EAE-amelioration or if edelfosine may exert additional, probably more general and possibly immunoablative effects within the setting of autoimmunity.
Publication Title
The orally available, synthetic ether lipid edelfosine inhibits T cell proliferation and induces a type I interferon response.

Description
PIWI interacting RNAs (piRNAs) provide defense against transposable element (TE) expansion in the germline of metazoans. piRNAs are processed from the transcripts encoded by specialized heterochromatic clusters enriched in damaged copies of transposons. How these regions are recognized as a source of piRNAs is still elusive. The aim of this study is to determine how transgenes that contain a fragment of the LINE-like I transposon lead to an acquired TE resistance in Drosophila. We show that such transgenes, being inserted in unique euchromatic regions which normally do not produce small RNAs, become de novo bidirectional piRNA clusters that silence I-element activity in the germline. Strikingly, small RNAs of both polarities are generated from the entire transgene and flanking genomic sequences — not only from the transposon fragment. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis shows that in ovaries the trimethylated histone 3 lysine 9 (H3K9me3) mark associates with transgenes producing piRNAs. We show that transgene-derived hsp70 piRNAs stimulate in trans cleavage of cognate endogenous transcripts with subsequent processing of the non-homologous parts of these transcripts into piRNAs. Overall design: The fractions of small RNAs (19-29 nt) from ovaries of wild type and 11 transgenic lines of Drosophila melanogaster were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Description
We identified DNAPK as one of the major proteins that physically interact with Autoimmune regulator (Aire). To establish physiological significance of DNAPK in Aire-driven expression of PTA genes in MECs, we utilized BM-reconstituted SCID mice (which express non functional DNAPK in their MECs) and RAG1 null mouse as a control.

Description
Long-lasting activation of T cells requires up-regulation of many genes, for example of transcription factors, cytoskeletal proteins and cell surface proteins encluding ion channels. An increase of ion channel density at the cell surface reflects the needs to manage increased Ca2+ influx into the activated T cell. Using oligonucleotide-based arrays we have surveyed changes in ion channel mRNA expression that occur upon T cell activation. We used Affymetrix Analysis to confirmate our data achieved by self-designed glass array analysis.

Description
Embryos were collected, aged, mock-treated/treated with 40Gy gamma radiation, and allowed to recover for 1.5 hours. Targets from 3 sets of wild type (yw, w1118) and 2 sets of mutant (Dmp53NS) biological replicates were generated and the expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Drosophila Genechip 1 arrays. Comparisons between the sample groups allow the identification of genes with radiation-responsive and Dmp53-dependent expression patterns.
