Description
Transcriptional profiles of Escherichia coli MG1655 in mixed culture with Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 showed a number of E. coli genes to be upregulated including purA-F and other genes associated with purine synthesis. In contrast, genes associated with pyrimidine synthesis were unaffected. Competition experiments in both planktonic and biofilm cultures, using three purine synthesis mutants, purD, purH, and purT showed little difference in E. coli survival from the parent strain. As purines are components of the cell signals, cAMP and c-di-GMP, we conducted competition experiments with E. coli mutants lacking adenylate cyclase (cyaA), cAMP phosphodiesterase (cpdA), and the catabolite receptor protein (crp), as well as ydeH, an uncharacterized gene that has been associated with c-di-GMP synthesis. Survival of the cyaA and crp mutants during co-culture were significantly less than the parent strain. Supplementation of the media with 1mM cAMP could restore survival of the cyaA mutant but not the crp mutant. In contrast, survival of the cpdA mutant was similar to the parent strain. Survival of the ydeH mutant was moderately less than the parent, suggesting that cAMP has more impact on E. coli mixed culture growth than c-di-GMP. Addition of 1 mM indole restored the survival of both the cyaA and crp mutations. Mutants in genes for tryptophan synthesis (trpE) and indole production (tnaA) showed a loss of competition and recovery through indole supplementation, comparable to the cyaA and crp mutants. Overall, these results suggest indole and cAMP as major contributing factors to E. coli growth in mixed culture.

Description
The adult heart contains macrophages derived from both embryonic and adult bone-marrow derived precursors. Such population diversity raises the possibility that macrophages of distinct origins occupy differing biological roles or anatomical niches within the heart. Here, we provide evidence for the latter, showing that bone-marrow derived macrophages express the chemokine receptor Ccr2 and preferentially localise to the aortic root of the heart. This targeted migration occurs via a Ccr2-Ccl7 axis, whereby Ccl7-producing cardiac fibroblasts populating the aortic root, recruit Ccr2pos macrophages. Notably, the selective recruitment of Ccr2pos macrophages renders the aortic root sensitive to inflammatory disease. In a mouse model of Kawasaki Disease, acute inflammation drives a numerical increase in bone-marrow derived Ccr2pos macrophages, which accumulate at the aorta and trigger local inflammation at this site. We propose that cardiac fibroblasts recruit Ccr2pos macrophages to the aortic root, and that this process targets inflammatory disease to the heart's major vessels. Overall design: Mice were either naïve or challenged with a Candida albicans water-soluble complex (CAWS) to induce a mouse model of Kawasaki Disease. Cardiac macrophages were extracted from three independent pools of naive mice and three independent pools of CAWS challenged mice. Splenic monocytes were extracted from three independent pools of naive mice. In each case, cardiac macrophages were divided into three subpopulations (R1, R2 and R3) based on Ccr2 and MHC-II expression.

Description
The aim of this study was to identify differential gene and protein expression associated with GBV-C that may be of importance in reduction of HCV-related liver disease. GB virus C (GBV-C) infection leads to improved outcomes in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Furthermore, GBV-C has been shown to reduce hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver disease in HCV/HIV co-infection.

Description
Introduction: Sepsis is a complex immunological response to infection characterized by early hyperinflammation followed by severe and protracted immunosuppression, suggesting that a multi-marker approach has the greatest clinical utility for early detection, within a clinical environment focused on SIRS differentiation. Pre-clinical research using an equine sepsis model identified a panel of gene expression biomarkers that define the early aberrant immune activation. Thus, the primary objective was to apply these gene expression biomarkers to distinguish patients with sepsis from those who had undergone major open surgery and had clinical outcomes consistent with systemic inflammation due to physical trauma and wound healing.

Description
Antigen receptor gene recombination requires stochastic, monoallelic choice of a single variable gene in each lymphocyte progenitor. However, how this occurs remains unknown. Herein, we report that prior to V? to J? gene recombination, Ig? alleles reside within spatially different nuclear niches defined by elongating RNA Polymerase II (e-Pol II) and cyclin D3 complexes assembled on the nuclear matrix. Upon cell cycle exit, and cyclin D3 downregulation, only the V? allele in the more constrained e-Pol II niche was transcribed. Chromatin modeling and single cell RNA-seq revealed that the nuclear niche favored V? flanking CTCF sites, thus shaping the transcribed repertoire. Furthermore, multiple contiguous V?s oriented away from CTCF sites were preferentially transcribed. Cyclin D3 also repressed monoallelic protocadherin and olfactory genes. These studies of Ig? reveal a general mechanism by which regulated, stochastic chromatin loop capture by fixed e-Pol II complexes generates diversity and couples cell cycle exit to monogenic choice. Overall design: Bulk and Single Cell RNA-seq of B6 x CAST F1 hybrid small pre-B cells and bulk RNA-seq of Ccnd3-/- pro-B cells

Description
Cigarette smoking is associated with reduced risk of developing Parkinsons disease (PD). To identify genes that interact with nicotine/smoking, we performed hypothesis-free genome-wide experiments in a paraquat-induced Drosophila model and in a case-control study of PD. We demonstrated that nicotine extends life-span in paraquat-treated Drosophila (P=4E-30). Brain tissue from flies treated with combinations of paraquat and nicotine revealed elevated expression of CG14691 with paraquat which was restored with nicotine co-treatment (P(interaction)=2E-11, P(FDR-adjusted)=4E-7). Independently, variants in the 5 region of SV2C, a human ortholog of CG14691, gave the strongest signal for interaction with smoking (P(interaction)=9E-8). The effect of smoking on PD risk varied six-fold by SV2C genotype (P(heterogeneity)=4E-10). Moreover, SV2C variants identified here were associated with SVC2 gene-expression in the HapMap data. Present results suggest synaptic vesicle protein SV2C plays a role in PD pathogenesis, and that the SV2C genotype may be useful for clinical trials of nicotine for treating PD.
