Affymetrix Rat Gene 1.0 ST Array (ragene10st)
Description
Children born to diabetic and obese or overweight mothers have a higher risk of heart disease at birth and later in life. Our previous work using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing revealed that late-gestation diabetes in combination with maternal high fat diet causes a distinct fuel-mediated epigenetic reprogramming of cardiac tissue during fetal cardiogenesis.

Description
Purpose: This study was carried out to determine the consequences of the Rfx2-/- genotype on spermatogenesis in the mouse Methods: RNA was extracted from decapsulated testes of 21 day old mixed background mice of either genotype. Deep sequencing was used to determine quantitative expression of the genomes from independent replicates of each genotype Results: RNA-Seq analysis identified some 105 genes that are down regulated at least 2-fold in Rfx2-/- testes, with ~50 being reduced at least 10-fold Conclusion: Spermatogenesis undergoes complete arrest just prior to the end of the round spermatid period of sperm development in mutant mice. Sequencing results showed that approximately 105 genes were downregulated 2 fold or more in the testes of mutant mice. Comparison of similar studies of targeted mutations in genes for other transcription factor demonstrate that Rfx2 has a large and nearly unique set of genes that depend on it directly or indirectly. A large number of downregulated genes are identified with cilia function. Overall design: Testicular mRNA profiles were determined by deep sequencing using testes from 5 independent wild type and 6 independent Rfx2-/- mice

Purpose: This study was carried out to determine the consequences of the Rfx2-/- genotype on spermatogenesis in the mouse Methods: RNA was extracted from decapsulated testes of 29-30 day old mixed background mice of either genotype. Deep sequencing was used to determine quantitative expression of the genomes from independent replicates of each genotype Results: RNA-Seq analysis identified some 640 genes that are down regulated at least 2-fold in Rfx2-/- testes, with ~150 being reduced at least 10-fold Conclusion: Spermatogenesis undergoes complete arrest just prior to the end of the round spermatid period of sperm development in mutant mice. Sequencing results showed that approximately 640 genes were downregulated 2 fold or more in the testes of mutant mice.

Description
Host-environment interfaces such as the dermis comprise tissue macrophages as the most abundant resident immune cell type. Diverse tasks, i.e. to resist against invading pathogens, to attract bypassing immune cells from penetrating vessels and to aid tissue development and repair require a dynamic postnatal coordination of tissue macrophages specification. Here, we delineated the postnatal development of dermal macrophages and their differentiation into distinct subsets by adapting single cell transcriptomics, fate-mapping and tissue imaging. We thereby identified a small phenotypically and transcriptionally distinct subset of embryo-derived skin macrophages that was maintained and largely excluded from the overall postnatal exchange by monocytes. These macrophages specifically interacted with dermal sensory nerves, surveilled and trimmed the myelin sheets and regulated axon sprouting after mechanical injury. In summary, our data show long-lasting functional specification of macrophages in the dermis that is driven by step-wise adaptation to guiding structures and ensures codevelopment of ontogenetically distinct cells within the same compartment. Overall design: Single Cell Sequencing was performed on CD45+CD11b+CD64+Lin-(lineage B220, CD3, NK1.1, Siglec-F, Ly6G) CX3CR1 (low, mid, high) macrophage subsets from mouse dermis after enzymatic digestion

Description
Obesity and associated increased prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) disease is suggested to be positively modulated by a high protein (HP) diet in humans and rodents. The aim was to detect mechanisms by which a HP diet prevents hepatic lipid accumulation by means of transcriptomics. To study the acute and long term effect of a high protein ingestion on hepatic lipid accumulation under both low and high fat (HF) conditions, mice were fed combinations of high (35%) or low (10%) fat and high (50%) or normal (15%) protein diets for 1 or 12 weeks. Body composition, liver fat, VLDL production rate and gene expression were investigated. Differences in metabolic processes and functions in the liver were identified using gene set enrichment analysis on microarray data. Mice fed the HP diets developed less adiposity and decreased hepatic lipid accumulation due a combination of induced processes mainly involved in protein catabolism such as transamination, TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Feeding a HP diet can successfully prevent the development of NAFLD by using ingested energy for oxidation instead of storage.

Description
To further understand molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle hypertrophy, expression profiles of translationally and transcriptionally regulated genes were characterized following an acute bout of maximally activated eccentric contractions. Experiments demonstrated that translational mechanisms contribute to acute gene expression changes following high resistance contractions with two candidate mRNAs, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and elongation factor-1 alpha (EF1alpha), targeted to the heavier polysomal fractions after a bout of contractions. Gene profiling was performed using Affymetrix Rat U34A GeneChips with either total RNA or polysomal RNA at one and six hours following contractions. There were 18 genes that changed expression at one hour and 70 genes that were different (60 genes increased:10 genes decreased)at six hours after contractions. The model from this profiling suggests that following high resistance contractions skeletal muscle shares a common growth profile with proliferating cells exposed to serum. This cluster of genes can be classified as "growth" genes and is commonly associated with progression of the cell cycle. However, a unique aspect was that there was induction of a cluster of tumour suppressor or antigrowth genes. We propose that this cluster of "antigrowth" genes is induced by the stress of contractile activity and may act to maintain skeletal muscle in the differentiated state. From the profiling results, further experiments determined that p53 levels increased in skeletal muscle at 6 h following contractions. This novel finding of p53 induction following exercise also demonstrates the power of expression profiling for identification of novel pathways involved in the response to muscle contraction.

Description
Probiotic bacteria, specific representatives of bacterial species that are a common part of the human microbiota, are proposed to deliver health benefits to the consumer by modulation of intestinal function via largely unknown molecular mechanisms. To explore in vivo mucosal responses of healthy adults to probiotics, we obtained transcriptomes in an intervention study following a double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over design. In the mucosa of the proximal small intestine of healthy volunteers, probiotic strains from the species Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei and L. rhamnosus each induced differential gene regulatory networks and pathways in the human mucosa. Comprehensive analyses revealed that these transcriptional networks regulate major basal mucosal processes, and uncovered remarkable similarity to response profiles obtained for specific bioactive molecules and drugs. This study elucidates how intestinal mucosa of healthy humans perceive different probiotics and provides avenues for rationally designed tests of clinical applications.

Description
Molecular adaptation of the intestinal mucosa occurs during microbial conventionalization to maintain a balanced immune response. However, the genetic regulation of such adaptation is obscure. Here, combined analysis of germ free and conventionalized mice revealed that the major molecular adaptations were initiated at day 4 of conventionalization with a strong induction of innate immune functions followed by stimulation of adaptive immune functions. We identified central regulatory genes and reconstructed a common regulatory network that appeared to be sufficient to regulate the dynamic adaptation of the intestinal mucosa to the colonizing microbiota. The majority of the genes within this regulatory network play roles in mucosal inflammatory diseases in mouse and human. We propose that the identified central regulatory network may serve as a genetic signature for control of intestinal homeostasis in healthy mice and may help to unravel the genetic basis of pathway dysregulation in human intestinal inflammatory diseases.
