Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Enhanced prenatal fatty streak formation in human fetuses has been associated with maternal hypercholesterolemia. However, the possible roles of maternal genetic background and in utero environment on development of atherosclerosis in adult life have not been unraveled. We generated genetically identical heterozygous apoE-deficient mice offspring with a different maternal background to study the intrauterine effect of maternal genotype and associated hypercholesterolemia on the developing vascular system. As read out for increased atherosclerosis development in adult life, a constrictive collar was placed around the carotid artery to induce lesion formation. A significant increase in endothelial cell activation and damage was detected in the carotid arteries of heterozygous apoE-deficient fetuses with apoE-deficient mothers compared with offspring from wild type mothers, but no fatty streak formation was observed. Postnatally, all carotid arteries revealed normal morphology. In adult offspring with maternal apoE-deficiency, the constrictive collar resulted in severe lesion (9/10) development compared with no to only minor lesions (2/10) in offspring of wild type mothers. Microarray analysis showed no effect of maternal apoE-deficiency on gene expression in adult offspring. We conclude that maternal apoE-deficiency not only affects fetal arteries, but also increases the susceptibility for development of collar-induced atherosclerosis in adult life.

Description
T lymphocytes are orchestrators of adaptive immunity. Nave T cells may differentiate into the Th1, Th2, Th17 or iTreg phenotype, depending on environmental co-stimulatory signals. In order to identify the genes and pathways involved in differentiation of Jurkat T cells towards Th1 and Th2 subtypes we performed comprehensive transcriptome analyses of Jurkat T cells stimulated with various stimuli an pathway inhibitors

- Affymetrix Murine Genome U74A Version 2 Array (mgu74av2)
Description
Processing of Immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) mRNA is a paradigm for competition between splicing and polyadenylation. In plasma cells pre-mRNA is polyadenylated mainly at the promoter-proximal secretory site while B-cells utilize a cryptic 5 splice site in the last secretory-specific exon; these are mutually exclusive events for all IgH pre-mRNAs. Transcription elongation factor ELL2, more abundant in plasma cells relative to B-cells, was down-modulated by overexpression of heterogenous ribonucleoprotein F, a condition which reduced production of secretory IgH mRNA. Transfection of B-cells with ELL2 and the IgH reporter showed an accelerated use of the secretory poly(A) site, positioned in competition with the splice to M1; a small interfering RNA to ELL2 reduced expression of IgH secretory mRNA. Co-transcription factors ELL1 and PC4 were ineffective at driving secretory-poly(A) site use. ELL2 had little effect on poly(A) site choice with reporters containing tandem-linked poly(A) sites. Shorter forms of ELL2 protein result from both internal initiation at M186 and protein processing. An alternative splicing reporter driven by IgH or non-Ig promoters revealed that ELL2 and its M186 initiated form were able to accelerate exon skipping. Therefore, ELL2 influences IgH pre-mRNA processing through facilitating skipping of the alternative splice to the membrane form.

Description
The lung alveolus is the primary site of gas exchange in mammals. Within the alveolus, the alveolar type 2 (AT2) epithelial cell population generates surfactant to maintain alveolar structure and harbors a regenerative capacity to repair the alveolus after injury. We show that a Wnt-responsive alveolar epithelial progenitor (AEP) lineage within the AT2 cell population is critical for regenerating the alveolar niche. AEPs are a stable lineage during alveolar homeostasis but expand rapidly to regenerate a majority of the alveolar epithelium after acute lung injury. AEPs exhibit a distinct transcriptome, epigenome, and functional phenotype with specific responsiveness to Wnt and FGF signaling that modulates differentiation and self-renewal, respectively. Importantly, human AEPs (hAEPs) can be isolated and characterized through a conserved surface marker and are required for human alveolar self-renewal and differentiation using alveolar organoid assays. Together, our findings show that AEPs are an evolutionarily conserved alveolar progenitor lineage essential for regenerating the alveolar niche in the mammalian lung.
