Affymetrix Xenopus laevis Genome Array (xenopuslaevis)
Description
ADAMs are transmembrane metalloproteases that control cell behavior by cleaving both cell adhesion and signaling molecules. The cytoplasmic domain of ADAMs can regulate the proteolytic activity by controlling the subcellular localization and/or the activation of the protease domain. Here we show that the cytoplasmic domain of ADAM13 is cleaved and translocates into the nucleus. Preventing this translocation renders the protein incapable of promoting cranial neural crest (CNC) cell migration in vivo, without affecting its proteolytic activity. In addition, the cytoplasmic domain of ADAM13 regulates the expression of multiple genes in the CNC. This study shows that the cytoplasmic domain of ADAM metalloproteases can perform essential functions in the nucleus of cells and may contribute substantially to the overall function of the protein.

Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
The maize Rough endosperm3 (Rgh3) gene encodes an ortholog of the human essential splicing factor, ZRSR2. To test whether a mutation in Rgh3 affects mRNA splicing, we compared rgh3 mutants and wild-type sibling transcriptomes in an RNA-seq experiment. Twelve libraries were constructed with mRNA extracted from the roots and shoots of three seedlings of each genotype. The libraries were multiplexed and sequenced on one lane of the HiSeq 2000 platform. The run produced 149 million paired-end 100 bp reads that mapped to 35,028 genes. Two approaches were used to analyze the dataset. In the first approach, Mosaik2, FreeBayes, GSNAP, and Cufflinks were used to identify differences in transcript isoform abundance in a SNP-tolerant fashion. During reverse-transcription PCR validation, six examples of intron retention were found to occur more frequently in rgh3 seedlings, and all six introns were members of a rare class of introns called U12-type introns. The second approach utilized a t-test to determine whether more reads were mapped to U12-type introns in rgh3 libraries relative to wild-type libraries. Out of all U12-type introns within genes that are expressed at a early seedling stage, 43% exhibit splicing defects in rgh3 mutants. These U12-type intron splicing defects include intron retention and cryptic splice site activation. We report that the rgh3 mutation specifically impairs the U12-type intron splicing. Overall design: Libraries were built from three replicates of each: wild-type roots, wild-type shoots, rgh3 roots, and rgh3 shoots

Description
Human regulatory T cells (TR) cells have potential for the treatment of immune mediated diseases, such as graft versus host disease, but the anergic phenotype of these cells makes them difficult to expand in vitro. We have examined the requirements for growth and cytokine expression from highly purified human TR cells, and correlated these findings with the signal transduction events of these cells. We demonstrate that these cells do not proliferate or secrete IL-10 even in the presence of high doses of IL-2. Stimulation with a superagonistic anti-CD28 antibody (clone 9D4) and IL-2 partially reversed the proliferative defect, and this correlated with reversal of the defective calcium mobilization in these cells. Dendritic cells were effective at promoting TR cell proliferation, and under these conditions the proliferative capacity of TR cells was comparable to conventional CD4 lymphocytes. Blocking TGF-beta activity abrogated IL-10 expression from these cells, while addition of TGF-beta resulted in IL-10 production. These data demonstrate the ability of dendritic cells to provide proper costimulation to overcome the anergic phenotype of TR cells. In addition, these data demonstrate for the first time that TGF-beta is critical to enable TR cells to express IL-10.

Description
The mucosa that lines the gastrointestinal (GI) tracts is an important portal of entry for pathogens and provides the frontline of immune defense against HIV infection. Epithelial barrier dysfunction during HIV infection has largely been attributed to the rapid and severe depletion of CD4 T cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In this study, the poential role of small non-coding microRNA (miRNA) to contribute to epithelial dysfunction was investigated in the non-human primate SIV model and microarrays were utilized to determine changes in mucosal gene expression (non-miRNA) that could be correlated to miRNA modulatiolns.

Description
We used the ileal loop model to assess the effects of enteric bacteria organisms on host gene expression in intestinal tissue independent of and following early SIV infection. SIV infection in the gut causes rapid and severe immune dysfunction and damage to the intestinal structure, this may alter the intimate interaction with lumenal organisms. This study was performed to determine whether early SIV infection, prior to the depletion of CD4+ T cells, can alter interaction of the host with pathogenic Salmonella serovar Typhimurium (ST) or commensal Lactobacillus plantarum (LP), and to further understand the earliest changes to the intestinal mucosa following SIV infection.
Publication Title
Early mucosal sensing of SIV infection by paneth cells induces IL-1β production and initiates gut epithelial disruption.
