NPM1 was reported to regulate the SOD2 gene expression through regulation of NF-kB. However, the effect of NPM1 on the NF-kB-dependent transcriptome has not been exmained.

View SamplesTo recruit phagocytes, apoptotic cells characteristically release ATP, which functions as a danger signal. Here, we found that the culture supernatant of apoptotic cells activated the macrophages to express anti-inflammatory genes such as NR4A and Thbs1. A high level of AMP accumulated in the apoptotic cell supernatant in a Pannexin1-dependent manner. A nucleotidase inhibitor and A2a adenosine receptor antagonist inhibited the apoptotic supernatant-induced gene expression, suggesting AMP was metabolized to adenosine by an ecto-5-nucleotidase expressed on macrophages, to activate the macrophage A2a adenosine receptor. Intraperitoneal injection of zymosan into AdoR A2a- or Panx1-deficient mice produced high, sustained levels of inflammatory mediators in the peritoneal lavage. These results indicated that AMP from apoptotic cells suppresses inflammation as a calm down signal.

View SamplesPhytochromes are evolutionarily conserved photoreceptors in bacteria, fungi, and plants. The prototypical phytochrome comprises an N-terminal photosensory module and a C-terminal histidine kinase signaling-output module. However, the plant phytochrome has been postulated to transduce light signals by interacting with a group of nodal Phytochrome-Interacting transcription Factors (PIFs) and triggering their degradation via the N-terminal photosensory module, while its C-terminal output module, including a Histidine Kinase-Related Domain (HKRD), is thought not to participate directly in signaling. Here, we show that the C-terminal module of Arabidopsis phytochrome B (PHYB) is unexpectedly sufficient to mediate the degradation of PIF3 and to induce a distinct set of PIF-regulated photosynthetic genes. These signaling functions require the HKRD and particularly its dimerization. A D1040V mutation, which disrupts the dimerization of HKRD and the interaction between the C-terminal module and PIF3, abrogates the early light signaling functions of PHYB in nuclear accumulation, photobody biogenesis, and PIF3 degradation. In contrast, disruption of the interaction between PIF3 and PHYB's N-terminal photosensory module has little effect on PIF3 degradation. Together, this study provides novel insight into the central mechanism of early phytochrome signaling that the C-terminal signaling-output module of PHYB interacts with PIF3 in the nucleus to mediate PIF3 degradation by light. Overall design: Whole seedling mRNA profiles of 100h dark-grown phyB-9 mutant and BCY overexpression line were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina NextSeq 500

View SamplesPlants grown under a canopy recognize changes in light quality and modify their growth patterns; this modification is known as shade avoidance syndrome. In leaves, leaf blade expansion is suppressed, whereas petiole elongation is promoted under the shade. However, the mechanisms that control these responses are largely unclear. Here, we demonstrated that both auxin and brassinosteroid (BR) are required for the normal leaf responses to shade. The microarray analysis of leaf blades and petioles treated with end-of-day far-red light (EODFR) revealed that almost half of the genes induced by the treatment in both parts were previously identified as auxin-responsive genes. Likewise, BR-responsive genes were overrepresented in the EODFR-induced genes. Hence, the auxin and BR responses were elevated by EODFR treatment in both leaf blades and petioles, although opposing growth responses were observed in these two parts. The analysis of the auxin-deficient doc1/big mutant and BR-deficient rot3/cyp90c1 mutant further indicates that auxin and BR were equally required for the normal petiole elongation response to the shade stimulus. In addition, the spotlight irradiation experiment revealed that phytochrome in leaf blades but not that in petioles regulated petiole elongation, which was probably mediated through regulation of the auxin/BR responses in petioles. On the basis of these findings, we conclude that auxin and BR cooperatively promote petiole elongation in response to the shade stimulus under the control of phytochrome in the leaf blade.

View SamplesPurpose: RNA-Seq analysis can help identify large set of differentially expressed genes at a time. We performed RNA-Seq analysis to identify differentially expressed genes in the PBMCs of war veterans suffering from PTSD. Methods: Total RNA from PBMCs from PTSD +ve and -ve individuals were used for RNA-Seq analysis. Results: We obtained, on average, ~60 millions reads per sample. More than 70% of the reads were mapped to human genome. Functional analysis of the differentially expressed genes (362) revealed dysregulation in immune system network. Conclusions: Our present study provides further proof that immune system related genes and pathways are dysregulated in PTSD PBMCs. Overall design: RNA-Seq was performed with RNA from 5 each control and PTSD individuals. PBMCs collected within one hour of blood draw were used for RNA isolation. 1 ug of total RNA was used for library synthesis and sequenced in a HighSeq 2000 illumina instrument at Tufts University.
