Description
Continuous stress caused by smoking induces changes in the cell population of small airway epithelium, with basal cell hyperplasia and goblet cell metaplasia at the expense of ciliated cells, and there is now compiling evidence that basal cells play a key role in the early pathogenesis of Chronic Obtructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Description
Dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (MPs) are important for immunological homeostasis in the colon. We found that F4/80hi CX3CR1hi (CD11b+CD103-) cells account for 80% of mouse colonic lamina propria (cLP) MHC-IIhi cells. Both CD11c+ and CD11c- cells within this population were identified as MPs based on multiple criteria, including a MP transcriptome revealed by microarray analysis. These MPs constitutively released high levels of IL-10 at least partially in response to the microbiota via an MyD88-independent mechanism. In contrast, cells expressing low to intermediate levels of F4/80 and CX3CR1 were identified as DCs, based on phenotypic and functional analysis and comprise three separate CD11chi cell populations: CD103+CX3CR1-CD11b- DCs, CD103+CX3CR1-CD11b+ DCs and CD103-CX3CR1intCD11b+ DCs. In non-inflammatory conditions, Ly6Chi monocytes differentiated primarily into CD11c+, but not CD11c- MPs. In contrast, during colitis, Ly6Chi monocytes massively invaded the colon and differentiated into pro-inflammatory CD103-CX3CR1intCD11b+ DCs, which produced high levels of IL-12, IL-23, iNOS and TNF. These findings demonstrate the dual capacity of Ly6Chi blood monocytes to differentiate into either regulatory MPs or inflammatory DCs in the colon, and that the balance of these immunologically antagonistic cell types is dictated by microenvironmental conditions.

Description
Crossing plants of the same species but different ploidies can have dramatic effects on seed growth, but little is known about the alterations to transcriptional programmes responsible for this. Parental genomic imbalance particularly affects proliferation of the endosperm, with an increased ratio of paternally to maternally contributed genomes (paternal excess) associated with overproliferation, while maternal excess inhibits endosperm growth. One interpretation is that interploidy crosses disrupt the balance in the seed of active copies of parentally imprinted genes. This is supported by the observation that mutations in imprinted FIS-class genes of Arabidopsis thaliana share many features of the paternal excess phenotype. Here we investigated gene expression underlying parent-of-origin effects in Arabidopsis through transcriptional profiling of siliques generated by interploidy crosses and FIS-class mutants.

Description
We performed RNA-seq and ChIP-seq on clones of human cell lines carrying an inducible XIST transgene on 1p, 8p, or 12q to study the effects of allelic silencing in cis Overall design: Total gene expression and allelic changes were examined in HT1080 clones carrying an inducible XIST transgene on 1p, 8p, or 12q after induction by doxycycline. A replicate was done for the 8p clone treated with DOX. An additional 1p clone integrated with an empty vector, and an 1p, 8p, and 12q clone without induction were included as controls. ChIP was performed on the 8p clone to investigate the changes in H3K27 acetylation and trimethylation.

Description
Interleukin (IL)-2 is a pleiotropic cytokine that is necessary to prevent chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. The protective effects of IL-2 involve the generation, maintenance and function of regulatory T cells (Tregs), and low-dose IL-2 has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. However, the cellular and molecular pathways that control the production of IL-2 in the context of intestinal health are undefined. Here we identify that IL-2 is acutely required to maintain Tregs and immunologic homeostasis throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Strikingly, lineage-specific deletion of IL-2 in T cells could recapitulate these phenotypes in the large intestine, but not in the small intestine. Unbiased analyses revealed that group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) are the dominant cellular source of IL-2 in the small intestine, which is selectively induced by IL-1ß. Macrophages produce IL-1ß in the small intestine and activation of this pathway involves MyD88- and Nod2-dependent sensing of the microbiota. Loss-of-function studies defined that ILC3-derived IL-2 is essential to maintain Tregs, immunologic homeostasis and oral tolerance to dietary antigens uniquely in the small intestine. Furthermore, ILC3 production of IL-2 was significantly reduced in the small intestine of Crohn's disease patients, and this correlated with diminished Tregs. Collectively, these results reveal a previously unappreciated pathway whereby a microbiota- and IL-1ß-dependent axis promotes ILC3 production of IL-2 to orchestrate immune regulation in the small intestine. Overall design: RNAs of ILC3s or CD4+ T cells were respectively sorted as CD45+CD3-ROR?tGFP+CD127+ or CD45+CD3+CD4+ from 3 wild type mice.

Description
Our understanding of cellular mechanisms by which animals regulate their response to starvation is limited despite the close relevance of the problem to major human health issues. L1 diapause of Caenorhabditis elegans, where newly hatched first stage larval arrested in response to food-less environment, is an excellent system to study the problem. We found through genetic manipulation and lipid analysis that ceramide biosynthesis, particularly those with longer fatty acid side chains, critically impacts animal survival during L1 diapause. Genetic and expression analyses indicate that ceramide likely regulate this response by affecting gene expression and activity in multiple regulatory pathways known to regulate starvation-induced stress, including the insulin-IGF-1 signaling (IIS) pathway, Rb and other pathways that mediate pathogen/toxin/oxidative stress responses. These findings provide an important insight into the roles of sphingolipid metabolism in not only starvation response but also aging and food-response related human health problems.
