Affymetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 Array (yeast2)
Description
The eukaryotic cytoplasmic chaperonin-containing TCP-1 (CCT) is a complex formed by two back-to-back stacked hetero-octameric rings that assists the folding of actins, tubulins and other proteins in an ATP-dependent manner. Here, we decided to test the significance of the hetero-oligomeric nature of CCT for its function by introducing, in each of the eight subunits in turn, an identical mutation at a position involved in ATP binding and conserved in all the subunits, in order to establish the extent of individuality of the various subunits. Our results show that these identical mutations lead to dramatically different phenotypes. For example, cells with the mutation in CCT2 have an excess of actin patches and are the only pseudo-diploid strain. By contrast, cells with the mutation in CCT7 are the only ones to accumulate juxta-nuclear protein aggregates that may reflect the absence of stress response in this strain. System-level analysis of the strains using RNA microarrays reveals connections between CCT and several cellular networks including ribosome biogenesis and TOR2 that help to explain the phenotypic variability observed

Description
mDC and pDC exhibit distinct TLR expression pattern and differ in their responses to various TLR ligands. The goal of this study was to identify genes, that were differentally expressed between mDC and pDC as a means to determine how TLR signaling pathways operate. Suprisingly, expression of TLR-assoociated signaling proteins were found to be present at equivalent levels between mDC and pDC, despite differential expression of TLRs, and thus revealing insight into use of adaptor proteins that function as general regulators of TLR signaling pathways in both cell types.

Description
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are used extensively in clinical trials; however, the potential for malignant transformation of MSCs has been raised. We examined the genomic stability versus the tumor forming capacity of multiple mouse MSCs. Murine MSCs have been shown to be less stable and more prone to malignant transformation than their human counterparts. A large series of independently isolated MSC populations exhibited low tumorigenic potential under syngeneic conditions, which increased in immune-compromised animals. Unexpectedly, higher ploidy correlated with reduced tumor forming capacity. Furthermore, in both cultured MSCs and primary hepatocytes, polyploidization was associated with a dramatic decrease in the expression of the long non-coding RNA H19. Direct knockdown of H19 expression in diploid cells resulted in acquisition of polyploid cell traits. Moreover, artificial tetraploidization of diploid cancer cells led to a reduction of H19 levels, as well as to an attenuation of the tumorigenic potential. Polyploidy might therefore serve as a protective mechanism aimed at reducing malignant transformation through the involvement of the H19 regulatory long non-coding RNA.

Description
Mutations in the gene encoding the transcription factor AutoImmune REgulator (AIRE) are responsible for the Autoimmune PolyEndocrinopathy Candidiasis Ecodermal Dystrophy syndrome. AIRE directs expression of tissue restricted antigens in the thymic medulla and in lymph node stromal cells and thereby substantially contributes to induction of immunological tolerance to self-antigens. Data from experimental mouse models showed that AIRE-deficiency leads to impaired deletion of autospecific T cell precursors. However, a potential role for AIRE in the function of regulatory T cell populations, which are known to play a central role in prevention of immunopathology, has remained elusive. Regulatory T cells of CD8+CD28low phenotype efficiently control immune responses in experimental autoimmune and colitis models in mice. We here show that CD8+CD28low Treg from AIRE-deficient mice are transcriptionally and phenotypically normal, exert efficient suppression of in vitro immune responses, but completely fail to prevent experimental colitis in vivo. Our data therefore demonstrate that AIRE plays an important role in the in vivo function of a naturally occurring regulatory T cell population.

Description
The forced expression of Yamanaka factors (Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc) reprograms cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) through a series of sequential cell fate conversions. The order and robustness of gene expression changes are highly depended on the Yamanaka factor stoichiometry. We specifically focused on two different reprogramming paths induced by high- and low-Klf4 stoichiometry, which were accomplished by introducing OK+9MS or OKMS polycistronic cassettes, respectively, into mouse embryonic fibroblasts. By comparing these reprograming intermediates with embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and primary keratinocytes, we identified high-Klf4 specific, transiently up-regulated epithelial genes. We found that expression of these epithelial genes was enriched in a TROP2-positive cell population. Moreover, we identified a set of transcription factors which are candidates for the regulation of transiently expressed epithelial genes, and revealed their connection to high-Klf4-specific reprogramming hallmarks.

Description
During seed maturation, the embryo accumulates nutrition storage compounds such as oil and reservve proteins, and acquires dormancy and desiccation tolerance. Arabidopsis transcription factors LEC1, LEC2, FUS3 and ABI3 are known as the master regulators of seed maturation because all these events during the seed maturation are severely affected by the respective mutants. In addition, the lec1, lec2 and fus3 mutants exhibit some heterochronic characteristics, as exemplified by the development of true leaf-like cotyledons during embryogenesis. To characterize these mutants at the whole genome expression level, microarray experiments were performed.
