Stromal cells rapidly reorganize cell composition during would healing. Resident stromal cells secrete systemic ligands and mobilize immune cells from bone marrow. Subsequently resident cells and mobilized immune cells cooperate together for efficient wound healing.

View SamplesEstrogens are well known steroid hormones necessary to maintain bone health. In addition, mechanical loading, which estrogen signaling may intersect with the Wnt/-catenin pathway, is also essential for bone health. As osteocytes are known as the major mechanosensory cells embedded in mineralized bone matrix, osteocyte ER deletion mice (EROcy/Ocy) were generated by mating ER floxed mice with Dmp1-Cre mice to determine functions of ER in osteocytes. Trabecular bone mineral density of female, but not male EROcy/Ocy mice was significantly decreased. Bone formation parameters in EROcy/Ocy were significantly decreased while osteoclast parameters were unchanged. This suggests that ER in osteocytes exerts osteoprotective function by positively controlling bone formation. To identify potential targets of ER, gene array analysis of Dmp1-GFP osteocytes FACS sorted from EROcy/Ocy and control mice was performed. Expression of Mdk and Sostdc1, both known inhibitors of Wnt, were significantly increased without alteration of the mature osteocyte marker Sost or -catenin. Hindlimb unloading exacerbated the trabecular bone loss, but surprisingly cortical bone was resistant. These studies show that ER in osteocytes has osteoprotective effects in trabecular bone through regulating expression of Wnt antagonists, but conversely plays a negative role in cortical bone loss due to unloading.

View SamplesTo clarify inflammatory genes whose expression is suppressed at high temperatures, we performed comprehensive analysis of gene expression by using a DNA microarray. Two independent primary cultures of mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEF1 and MEF2) were treated with LPS for 4 hours, or treated with LPS for 4 hours after the pretreatment with heat shock at 42C for 1 hour, and we identified 100 genes that undergo more than a 3-fold increase with LPS treatment. Remarkably, 86 genes (86%) underwent less than a 2-fold increase after combined treatments with heat shock and LPS in MEF1 and MEF2 cells.
Heat shock transcription factor 1 inhibits expression of IL-6 through activating transcription factor 3.

View SamplesTissue resident memory T cells (TRM) provide superior protection against infection localised to extra-lymphoid compartments in the body. Here we show that CD103+CD8+ TRM cells develop in skin from killer cell lectin-like receptor (KLR)G1-negative precursors that selectively infiltrate the epithelial layer. In the skin, a combination of chemokine-guided epithelial entry, local interleukin (IL)-15 and transforming growth factor (TGF)- signalling is required for formation and survival of these long-lived memory cells. Importantly, TRM differentiation results in the gradual acquisition of a unique transcriptional profile that differs from that expressed by memory cells in the circulation and other types of skin-resident intra-epithelial T cells, such as the dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC). We provide a comprehensive molecular and developmental framework for the local differentiation of a distinct type of peripheral memory T cell that contributes to an important first-line of immune defence in barrier tissues such as skin and mucosa.

View SamplesWith the exception of imprinted genes and certain repeats, DNA methylation is globally erased during pre-implantation development. Recent studies have suggested that Tet3-mediated oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and DNA replication-dependent dilution both contribute to global paternal DNA demethylation, but demethylation of the maternal genome occurs via replication. Here we present genome-scale DNA methylation maps for both the paternal and maternal genomes of Tet3-depleted and/or DNA replication-inhibited zygotes. In both genomes, we found that inhibition of DNA replication blocks DNA demethylation independently from Tet3 function, and that Tet3 facilitates DNA demethylation by coupling with DNA replication. For both, our data indicate that replication-dependent dilution is the major contributor to demethylation, but Tet3 plays an important role, particularly at certain loci. Our study therefore both defines the respective functions of Tet3 and DNA replication in paternal DNA demethylation and reveals an unexpected contribution of Tet3 to demethylation of the maternal genome. Overall design: In this data set, we include RNA-Seq data of mouse 2-cell embryos and blastocysts derived from both wildtype and Tet3-null oocytes
