Description
This study is part of previous epidemiologic project, including a population-based survey (Sao Paulo Ageing & Health study (SPAH Study). The data from this study was collected between 2015 to 2016 and involved elderly women (ages ≥65 yeas) living in the Butanta district, Sao Paulo. The purpose of the study was identification of association between transcriptome and the osteo metabolism diseases phenotype, like osteoporosis, vertebral fracture and coronary calcification.

Description
Plant drought stress response and resistance are complex biological processes that merit systems-level analyses to dissect drought stress encountered by crops in the field. We have used gene expression profiling of Arabidopsis plants subjected to a controlled, sublethal, moderate drought (mDr) treatment to characterize early and late response to drought. We have also compared these profiles to those from plants treated with soil water deficit (progressive) drought (pDr) to reveal acclimation responses in plants.

Description
Inadequate extracellular conditions can adversely affect the environment of the ER and impinge on the maturation of nascent proteins. The resultant accumulation of unfolded proteins activates a signal transduction pathway, known as the unfolded protein response, which serves primarily to protect the cell during stress and helps restore homeostasis to the ER. Microarray analysis of the unfolded protein response in a human medulloblastoma cell line treated with thapsigargin revealed that, in addition to known targets, a large number of proangiogenic factors were up-regulated. Real-time PCR analyses confirmed that four of these factors, VEGF, FGF2, angiogenin and IL-8, were transcriptionally up-regulated in multiple cell lines by various ER stress inducers. Our studies on VEGF regulation revealed that XBP-1(S), a UPR-inducible transcription factor, bound to two regions on the VEGF promoter, and analysis of XBP-1 null mouse embryonic fibroblasts revealed that it contributes to VEGF expression in response to ER stress. ATF4, another UPR-inducible transcription factor, also binds to the VEGF gene, although its contribution to VEGF transcription appeared to be fairly modest. We also found that VEGF mRNA stability is increased in response to UPR activation, via activation of the AMP and p38MAP kinases, demonstrating that increased mRNA levels occur at two regulatory points. In keeping with the mRNA levels, we found that VEGF protein is secreted at levels as high as or higher than that achieved in response to hypoxia. Our results indicate that the UPR plays a significant role in inducing positive regulators of angiogenesis. It also regulates VEGF expression at multiple levels and is likely to have widespread implications for promoting angiogenesis in response to normal physiological cues as well as in pathological conditions like cancer.

Description
The observation that Tcf3 (MGI name: Tcf7l1) bound the same genes as core stem cell transcription factors, Oct4 (MGI name:Pou5f1), Sox2 and Nanog, revealed a potentially important aspect of the poorly understood mechanism whereby Wnts stimulate self renewal of pluripotent mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. Although the conventional view of Tcf proteins as the -catenin-binding effectors of Wnt signaling suggested Tcf3 should activate target genes in response to Wnts, here we show that Wnt3a and Tcf3 effectively antagonize each others effects on gene expression. Genetic ablation of Tcf3 caused similar effects as treating cells with recombinant Wnt3a.

Description
Alternative splicing of pre-mRNA is a prominent mechanism to generate protein diversity, yet its regulation is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate a direct role for histone modifications in alternative splicing. We find distinctive histone modification signatures which correlate with splicing outcome in a set of human genes. Modulation of histone modifications causes splice site switching. The mechanism for histone-mediated splice site selection involves a histone mark which is read by a chromatin protein, which in turn recruits a splicing regulator. These results outline an adaptor system for reading of histone marks by the pre-mRNA splicing machinery. Overall design: To obtain an estimate of how many PTB-dependent alternative splicing events are regulated by SET2/MRG15-mediated recruitment of PTB, we carried out a genomewide comparative analysis of alternative splicing in hMSC cells depleted of either SETD2, MRG15 or PTB using specific siRNAs, or mock-depleted using a control siRNA.

Description
SIRT1 deacetylase functions in a variety of cells and tissues to mitigate age- and disease-induced damages. However, it remains unknown if SIRT1 also acts to prevent pathological changes that accrue in motor units, and specifically alpha-motor neurons, with advancing age and during the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here, we show that SIRT1 expression decreases in the spinal cord of wild type mice with advancing age. Using mouse models that overexpress or inactivate SIRT1 in motor neurons, we discovered that SIRT1 prevents age-related degeneration of motor neurons' presynaptic sites at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). We also found that increasing SIRT1 in motor neurons delays degeneration of presynaptic sites at NMJs and extends the lifespan of SOD1G93A mice. Thus, SIRT1 has a similar effect on aging and ALS-affected motor neurons, two conditions in which a remarkable number of transcripts are similarly altered in the spinal cord. These include genes involved in inflammatory and immune responses and genes with known function at synapses. These findings show that SIRT1 functions to mitigate pathological changes induced by aging and ALS, two conditions with a surprising degree of overlap in the spinal cord. Overall design: Eight replicates spinal cords from mice aged 18-24 months, eight replicates of spinal cords from mice aged 3-4 months, 3 replicates of spinal cords from ALS symptomatic mice aged 5-6 months and 3 replicates of spinal cords from wt controls aged 5-6 months.

Description
Reprogramming resident glia into functional and subtype-specific neurons in vivo by delivering reprogramming genes directly to the brain provides a step forward towards the possibility of treating brain injuries or diseases. Here, we show that neurons reprogrammed using Ascl1, Lmx1a and Nurr1 functionally mature and integrate into existing brain circuitry, and that the majority of the reprogrammed neurons have properties of fast spiking, parvalbumin-containing interneurons. Overall design: A total of 6 samples were analyzed. Each sample is consists of approximately 33 laser-captured reprogrammed-neurons identified by nuclear GFP and expressing the transcription factors Ascl1, Lmx1a and Nurr1 (ALN).
