Affymetrix Rat Expression 230A Array (rae230a), Affymetrix Rat Genome U34 Array (rgu34a)
Description
The purpose of this study was to determine 1) the transcriptional program elicited by exposure to three estrogen receptor (ER) agonists: 17 a-ethynyl estradiol (EE), genistein (Ges) and bisphenol A (BPA) during fetal development of the rat testis and epididymis; and 2) whether very low dosages of estrogens (evaluated over five orders of magnitude of dosage) produce unexpected changes in gene expression (i.e., a non-monotonic dose-response curve). In three independently conducted experiments, Sprague-Dawley rats were dosed (s.c.) with 0.001-10mg EE/kg/day, 0.001-100 mg Ges/kg/day or 0.002-400mg BPA/kg/day. While morphological changes in the developing reproductive system were not observed, the gene expression profile of target tissues were modified in a dose-responsive manner. Independent dose-response analyses of the three studies identified 56 genes that are significantly modified by EE, 28 genes by Ges and 15 genes by BPA (out of 8740). Even more genes were observed to be significantly changed when only the high dose is compared with all lower doses: 141, 46 and 67 genes, respectively. Global analyses aimed at detecting genes consistently modified by all of the chemicals identified 52 genes whose expression changed in the same direction across the three chemicals. The dose-response curve for gene expression changes was monotonic for each chemical, with both the number of genes significantly changed and the magnitude of change, for each gene, decreasing with decreasing dose. Using the available annotation of the gene expression changes induced by ER-agonist, our data suggest that a variety of cellular pathways are affected by estrogen exposure. These results indicate that gene expression data are diagnostic of mode of action and, if they are evaluated in the context of traditional toxicological end-points, can be used to elucidate dose-response characteristics.

Description
Critically short telomeres activate cellular senescence or apoptosis, as mediated by the tumor suppressor p53, but in the absence of this checkpoint response, telomere dysfunction engenders chromosomal aberrations and cancer. Here, analysis of p53-regulated genes activated in the setting of telomere dysfunction identified Zfp365 (ZNF365 in humans) as a direct p53 target that promotes genome stability. Germline polymorphisms in the ZNF365 locus are associated with increased cancer risk, including those associated with telomere dysfunction. On the mechanistic level, ZNF365 suppresses expression of a subset of common fragile sites (CFS) including telomeres. In the absence of ZNF365, defective telomeres engage in aberrant recombination of telomere ends, leading to increased telomere sister chromatid exchange (T-SCE) and formation of anaphase DNA bridges, including ultra-fine DNA bridges (UFB), and ultimately increased cytokinesis failure and aneuploidy. Thus, the p53-ZNF365 axis contributes to genomic stability in the setting of telomere dysfunction.

Description
The homeostasis of circulating B cell subsets in the peripheral blood of healthy adults is well regulated, but in disease it can be severely disturbed. Thus, a subgroup of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) presents with an extraordinary expansion of an unusual B cell population characterized by the low expression of CD21. Since these circulating atypical B cells in the blood of CVID patients could not be assigned to any certain B cell differentiation stage in the periphery, they were designated as CD21low B cells. Although, CD21low B cells are polyclonal and unmutated IgM+IgD+ B cells like naive B cells in the peripheral blood, they reveal several distinct phenotypic and functional features.
Publication Title
Circulating CD21low B cells in common variable immunodeficiency resemble tissue homing, innate-like B cells.

Description
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) activation by tryptophan (Trp) catabolites enhances tumor malignancy and suppresses anti-tumor immunity. Hitherto, indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) or tryptophan- 2, 3-dioxygenase (TDO2) are recognized as the main Trp-catabolizing enzymes (TCEs) responsible for the generation of AHR agonists. Here, the ability of the aromatic L-amino acid oxidase, interleukin 4 induced 1 (IL4I1), to activate the AHR was investigated using IL4I1 knockout CAS-1 glioblastoma cells.

Description
Indole-3-pyruvate (I3P), an endogenous metabolite derived from tryptophan by gut microbiota and IL4I1 enzyme in humans can potentially activate the transcriptional activity of the Aryl Hydrocarbon receptor. Here we test this by stimulating AHR proficient U-87MG cells with I3P alone or in combination with the AHR antagonist SR1.

PURPOSE: Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a degenerative eye disorder affecting 4% of Americans older than 40. It is the leading indication for corneal endothelial (CE) transplantation for which there is a global donor shortage. This study aimed to gain further insight into the pathophysiology of FECD and identify targets for nonsurgical therapy.
