Description
Interleukin-31 (IL-31), a T cells derived cytokine which is mainly produced by CD4+ T cells skewed towards Th2 phenotypes. It signals via a heterodimeric receptors composed of IL-31RA and OSMR that is expressed constitutively in epithelial cells and keratinocytes. IL-31 is shown to play a pathogenic role in allergic and inflammatory diseases. Transgenic mice overexpressing IL-31 have a phenotype similar to atopic dermatitis. Here, we studied the role of IL-31 in skin damage by intradermal administration of recombinant IL-31. Notably, IL-31 was sufficient to increase epidermal basal cell proliferation and thickening of the epidermal layer of skin in mice. Analysis of skin transcriptome indicates a significant increase in the transcripts involved in epidermal cell proliferation and pathological skin remodeling. Thus, our study revealed an important role of IL-31 signaling in activating transcriptional programs involved in the pathophysiology of skin diseases. Overall design: mRNA profiles of C57BL/6 mice skin injected with saline and rIL-31 (20µg) via i.d.

Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array (celegans)
Description
In vertebrate muscle, loss of Dysferlin results in the activation of compensatory muscle gene expression, even at pre-pathological stages. We hypothesized that if C. elegans fer-1 is also expressed in muscle, then fer-1 mutant worms might also exhibit compensatory muscle gene expression.
Publication Title
C. elegans dysferlin homolog fer-1 is expressed in muscle, and fer-1 mutations initiate altered gene expression of muscle enriched genes.

Description
Some infectious agents are associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma development. Here we have used p53-deficient mice chronically injected with Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) with the aim to develop an animal model of infection-associated lymphomagenesis. We show that repeated stimulations with heat-killed Spn significantly enhanced the incidence of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in these mice. Phenotypic studies and gene expression profile analyses indicate that these PTCL arose from chronically stimulated natural killer T (NKT) cells, a T cell lineage that exhibits unique properties. Furthermore, lymphoma development was blocked when these PTCL were transferred to recipients lacking CD1d expression or treated with blocking CD1d mAbs, thus demonstrating that in vivo TCR/CD1d interactions are required for these PTCL survival. In conclusion, we have identified a new entity of peripheral T-cell lymphoma that originates from CD1d-restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells. Our results could refine the classification of PTCL and pave the way for the development of new immunotherapeutic approaches.

Description
Non-nutritive sweeteners like sucralose are consumed by billions of people. While animal and human studies have demonstrated a link between synthetic sweetener consumption and metabolic dysregulation, the mechanisms responsible remain unknown. Here we use a diet supplemented with sucralose to investigate the long-term effects of sweet/energy imbalance. In flies, chronic sweet/energy imbalance promoted hyperactivity, insomnia, glucose intolerance, enhanced sweet taste perception and a sustained increase in food and calories consumed, effects that are reversed upon sucralose removal. Mechanistically, this response was mapped to the ancient insulin, catecholamine, and NPF/NPY systems and the energy sensor AMPK, which together comprise a novel neuronal starvation response pathway. Interestingly, chronic sweet/energy imbalance promoted increased food intake in mammals as well, and this also occurs through an NPY-dependent mechanism. Together our data show that chronic consumption of a sweet/energy imbalanced diet triggers a conserved neuronal fasting response and increases the motivation to eat. Overall design: RNA-seq on Drosophila head samples fed control and sucralose diet

Description
Abiotic stresses like drought, salinity, high and low temperature, and submergence are major factors that limit the crop productivity. Hence, identification of genes associated with stress response in crops is a prerequisite for improving their tolerance to adverse environmental conditions. In this study, we have analyzed the expression profiles of three genotypes WT, TaVAP mutant and TaVAPOE plants in Arabidopsis thaliana in col-0 background using microarray technology to identify the genes differentially expressed under control conditions.

Description
Rice transgenic plants of the F-box encoding gene, OsFBK1, in the Pusa Basmati 1 (PB1) variety have been found to display differences in the anther and root phenotypes. In order to elucidate changes at the transcriptome level, microarray of the roots of 14-day-old seedlings of over-expresseion (OE) and knock-down (KD) lines along with vector control (VC) and wild type (WT) were carried out.

Description
Indica rice seedlings of IR64 variety were grown hydroponically for 7-days in a culture room with a daily photoperiodic cycle of 14h light and 10h dark. Seedlings were incubated in 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide (control) or 50 micromolar solutions of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA treatment) and benzyl aminopurine (BAP treatment) for 1h and 3h. Equal amounts of 1h and 3h samoles were pooled for each treatment before RNA isolation. The 5 micrograms of each total RNA sample was processed for microarray analysis according to Affymetrix protocol.
