Affymetrix Mouse Gene 2.1 ST Array (mogene21st)
Description
Pulmonary exposure to multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) induces an inflammatory and rapid fibrotic response, although the long-term signaling mechanisms are unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of 1, 10, 40, or 80 g MWCNT administered by pharyngeal aspiration on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid for polymorphonuclear cell (PMN) infiltration, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, and lung histopathology for inflammatory and fibrotic responses in mouse lungs 1 mo, 6 mo, and 1 yr postexposure. Further, a 120-g crocidolite asbestos group was incorporated as a positive control for comparative purposes. Results showed that MWCNT increased BAL fluid LDH activity and PMN infiltration in a dose-dependent manner at all three postexposure times. Asbestos exposure elevated LDH activity at all 3 postexposure times and PMN infiltration at 1 mo and 6 mo postexposure. Pathological changes in the lung, the presence of MWCNT or asbestos, and fibrosis were noted at 40 and 80 g MWCNT and in asbestos-exposed mice at 1 yr postexposure. To determine potential signaling pathways involved with MWCNT-associated pathological changes in comparison to asbestos, up- and down-regulated gene expression was determined in lung tissue at 1 yr postexposure. Exposure to MWCNT tended to favor those pathways involved in immune responses, specifically T-cell responses, whereas exposure to asbestos tended to favor pathways involved in oxygen species production, electron transport, and cancer. Data indicate that MWCNT are biopersistent in the lung and induce inflammatory and fibrotic pathological alterations similar to those of crocidolite asbestos, but may reach these endpoints by different mechanisms.

Description
The STOX1 transcription factor has been involved in a complex human disease of pregnancy, preeclampsia, in human families, and mouse models. However, its mode of action is still largely unknown. Overexpression of either the long (STOX1A) or the short (STOX1B) isoform was obtained in the BeWo villous trophoblast model, a cell line able to fuse in syncytiotrophoblast following induction by forskolin treatment. The effects at the transcriptional level are evaluated in every condition.

Description
A Single Cell Analysis of Myogenic Dedifferentiation Induced by Small Molecules An important direction in chemical biology is the derivation of compounds that affect cellular differentiation or its reversal. The fragmentation of multinucleate myofibers into viable mononucleates (called cellularisation) occurs during limb regeneration in urodele amphibians and the isolation of myoseverin, a tri-substituted purine that could apparently activate this pathway of myogenic dedifferentiation in mammalian cells, generated considerable interest. We have explored the mechanism and outcome of cellularisation at a single cell level, and report findings that significantly extend the previous work with myoseverin. Using a panel of compounds, including a novel triazine compound called 109 with structural similarity and comparable activity to myoseverin, we have identified microtubule disruption as critical for activation of the response. Our analysis has included the related control triazine compound 401, and the microtubule disrupting agent nocodazole. Time-lapse microscopy has enabled us to analyse the fate of identified mononucleate progeny, and directly assess the extent of dedifferentiation.

Description
Years after the discovery that Dicer is a key enzyme in gene-silencing, the role of its helicase domain remains enigmatic. Here we show that this domain is critical for accumulation of certain endogenous small interfering RNAs (endo-siRNAs) in C. elegans. The domain is required for the production of the direct products of Dicer, or primary endo-siRNAs, and consequently, affects levels of downstream intermediates, the secondary endo-siRNAs. Consistent with the role of endo-siRNAs in silencing, their loss correlates with an increase in cognate mRNA levels. We find that the helicase domain of Dicer is not required for microRNA (miRNA) processing, or RNA interference following exposure to exogenous double-stranded RNA. Comparisons of wildtype and helicase-defective strains using deep-sequencing analyses show that the helicase domain is required by a subset of annotated endo-siRNAs, in particular, those associated with the slightly longer 26 nucleotide small RNA species containing a 5' guanosine. Overall design: We reintroduced either wildtype Dicer, or Dicer harboring a mutation (K39A) in it''s helicase domain, into dcr-1(ok247) mutant worms via transgene rescue. We then used high-throughput sequencing to compare levels of small RNAs present in each of these strains.

Description
We describe here an interrupted reprogramming strategy to generate "induced Progenitor-Like (iPL) cells" from Alveolar Epithelial Type II (AEC-II) cells. A carefully defined period of transient expression of reprogramming factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc; OSKM) is able to rescue the limited in vitro clonogenic capacity of AEC-II cells, potentially by activation of a bipotential progenitor-like state.

Description
Chickens divergently selected for either high growth (HG genotype) or low growth (LG genotype) at SRA-INRA, France were used to profile abdominal adipose gene expression at 7 wk of age. The HG and LG chickens are different in various phenotypic and metabolic measurements, including growth rate, abdominal fat, plasma glycemia, insulinemia, T4, T3, triglyceride and NEFA. The HG and LG chickens are valuable as a model for biomedical and agricultural traits. Massively parallel RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) was completed on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 System for transcription analysis of HG and LG abdominal fat. Need information on data processing, statistical analysis, and differential expression. Keywords: abdominal fat, divergently selected chickens, growth, transcriptional profiling, differentially expressed genes Overall design: Abdominal fat mRNA profiles of high growth (HG genotype) or low growth (LG genotype) chickens at 7 weeks of age were generated by deep sequencing (on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 system).
