Description
We found that the previously published Fmr1 knockout rat model of FXS expresses an Fmr1 transcript with an in-frame deletion of exon 8, which encodes for the K-homology (KH) RNA-binding domain, KH1. We observed that the deletion of exon 8 in 10 male rats within the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) led to transcriptional alterations compared to 12 WT rats using RNAseq. Additionally, we used weighted gene co-expression network analysis to generate 23 modules specific to the mPFC with tissue from 35 WT rat samples. Overall design: RNAseq using WT and Fmr1 delta exon 8 mPFC samples

Description
The chemokine decoy receptor D6 internalises and degrades inflammatory CC chemokines enabling resolution of inflammation. In D6 deficient mice (D6 KO), otherwise innocuous cutaneous inflammatory stimuli induce a grossly exaggerated inflammatory response that bears many similarities to human psoriasis. In the present study we have used transcriptomic approaches to define the molecular make up of this response.

Description
We describe a function of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in driving anti-tumor immune evasion. The kinase activity of nuclear-targeted FAK in squamous cancer cells drives exhaustion of CD8+ T-cells and recruitment of regulatory T-cells by transcriptionally regulating chemokine/cytokine and ligand-receptor networks, including transcription of Ccl5 that is crucial. These changes inhibit antigen-primed cytotoxic CD8+ T-cell activity, permitting growth of FAK-expressing tumors.

Description
Liver injury results in rapid regeneration through hepatocyte proliferation and hypertrophy. However, after acute severe injury, such as acetaminophen poisoning, effective regeneration may fail. We investigated how senescence underlies this regenerative failure. In human acute liver disease, and murine models, p21-dependent hepatocellular senescence was proportionate to disease severity and was associated with impaired regeneration. In an acetaminophen injury model a transcriptional signature associated with the induction of paracrine senescence is observed within twenty four hours, and is followed by one of impaired proliferation. In genetic models of hepatocyte injury and senescence we observed transmission of senescence to local uninjured hepatocytes. Spread of senescence depended upon macrophage derived TGFß1 ligand. In acetaminophen poisoning inhibition of TGFß receptor 1 (TGFßR1) improved survival. TGFßR1 inhibition reduced senescence and enhanced liver regeneration even when delivered after the current therapeutic window. This mechanism, in which injury induced senescence impairs regeneration, is an attractive therapeutic target for acute liver failure. Overall design: RNA-seq analysis was performed on a total of 24 samples extracted from murine liver, post hepatic injury induced by acetaminophen administration. Transcriptional profiles were from replicate samples generated at defined timepoints - 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours post injury. Replicate samples were generated from 4 individual animals sacrificed at each timepoint, and compared to a control cohort of 4 animals not subjected to acetaminophen treatment.
