Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
In addition to helper and regulatory potential, CD4+T cells also acquire cytotoxic activity marked by granzyme B (GzmB) expression and the ability to promote rejection of established tumors. Here we examined the molecular and cellular mechanisms underpinning the differentiation of cytotoxic CD4+T cells following immunotherapy. CD4 transfer into lymphodepleted animals or regulatory T cell (Treg)depletion promoted GzmB expression by tumor-infiltrating CD4+which was prevented by IL-2 neutralization. Transcriptional analysis revealed a polyfunctional helper and cytotoxic phenotype characterized bythe expression of the transcription factors T-bet and Blimp-1. Whilst T-bet ablation restrictedIFN-gproduction, lossof Blimp-1preventedGzmB expressionin response to IL-2, suggesting these are two independent programs required forpolyfunctionality of tumor-reactive CD4+T cells. The data underscores the role of Treg, IL-2 and Blimp-1 controlling the differentiation of cytotoxic T cells and offers a pathway to enhancement of anti-tumor activity through their manipulation.

Description
We report here senescent changes in the structure and organization of the mucociliary pseudostratified epithelium of the mouse trachea and the main stem bronchi. We confirm previous reports of the graduate appearance of age-related, gland-like structures (ARGLS) in the submucosa, espeically in the intercartilage regions and carina. Immunohistochemistry shows these structures contain ciliated and secretory cells and Krt5+ basal cells, but not the myoepithelial cells or ciliated ducts typical of normal submucosal glands. Data suggests they arise de novo by budding from teh surface epithelium rather than by delayted growth of small or cryptic submucosal glands. In old mice the surface epithelium contains fewer cells per unit length than in young mice and the proportion of Krt5+, p63+ basal cells is reduced in both males and females. However, there appears to be no significant difference in the ability of basal stem cells isolated from individual young and old mice to form clonal tracheospheres in culture or in the ability of the pithelium to repair after damage by inhaled sulfur dioxide. Gene expression analysis by Affymetrix microarray and quantitative PCR, as well as immunohistochemistry and flow sorting studies, are consistent with low-grade chronic inflammation in the tracheas of old versus young mice. The significance of these changes for ARGL formation are not clear since several treatments that induce acute inflammation in young mice did not result in budding of the surface epithelium.

Description
The conducting airway epithelium of the rodent and human lung is made up of about equal proportions of ciliated and secretory cells. In addition, in regions where the epithelium is pseudostratfied, ~30% of the epithelium consists of undifferentiated basal cells (BCs). Evidence suggests that these BCs are multipotent stem cells that can self renew over the long term and give rise to both ciliated and secretory lineages. The goal of this project is to identify cellular and molecular mechanisms by which the basal cells normally maintain the epithelium and repair it after injury.

Description
The conducting airway epithelium of the rodent and human lung is underlaid by mesenchymal cells that include vasculature, smooth muscle, fibroblasts and cartilage. The goal of this project is to identify cellular and molecular changes in the mesenchyme after injury to the epithelium by exposure to SO2 and which may participate in repair of the epithelium

Description
We identified DCIR2+DCs but not DEC205+DCs as able to induce peripheral T cell tolerance in pre-diabetic autoimmune NOD mice. To determine what distinct genetic programs are elicited in the auto-reactive CD4 T cells early after stimulation by these two DC subsets, we utilized adoptive transfer of BDC2.5 CD4 T cells into NOD mice, which were then given chimeric antibody to deliver the beta-cell specific antigen to either DCIR2+DCs or DEC205+DCs, leading to BDC2.5 CD4 T cell specific stimulation in vivo. The analysis shows that the negative transcriptional factor Zbtb32 (ROG) is up-regulated more in BDC2.5 CD4 T cells after stimulated with a antigen via DCIR2+DCs presentation, compared with DEC205+DCs, suggesting the involvement of Zbtb32 in DCIR2+DCs-mediated auto-reactive T cell tolerance in disease ongoing NOD mice.

Description
Obesity-associated metabolic complications are generally considered to emerge from abnormalities in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, whereas the status of protein metabolism is not well studied. Here, we performed comparative polysome and associated transcriptional profiling analyses to study the dynamics and functional implications of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein synthesis in the mouse liver under conditions of obesity and nutrient deprivation.

Description
Our aim is to identify circadian transcripts that are co-regulated with [Ca2+]cyt, with the eventual goal of identifying genetic regulators and targets for circadian oscillations of [Ca2+]cyt. We have identified two conditions in which [Ca2+]cyt behaves differently to other circadian outputs. 1. Treatment of plants with nicotinamide, a metabolic inhibitor of ADPR cyclase, abolishes the circadian oscillations of [Ca 2+]cyt. However, leaf movement, CCA1, LHY, TOC1 and CAB transcript abundance and CAB promoter activity are all rhythmic albeit with a longer period (Dodd et al., 2007). 2. The toc1-1 mutant, which shortens the circadian period of all other rhythms tested, has no effect on the period of [Ca2+]cyt oscillations (Xu et al., 2007). We will measure the circadian regulation of transcript abundance in wild type (C24), toc1-1 and nicotinamide (C24)-treated plants.
