View SamplesType I interferon (IFN) is a family of 15 cytokines (in human 13, 1,1) which exert several cellular functions through the binding to a common receptor. Despite the initial activation of the same Jak/Stat signalling pathway, the cellular response may be different depending on the type I IFN subtype. We investigated the activity of different type I IFN subtypes - IFN1, 2, 8, 21, and - on the differentiation of DC. Transcriptome analyses identified two distinct groups, the IFN/-DC and the IFN-DC. 78 genes, 7 chemokines and expression levels of cell surface markers characteristic of DC distinguished IFN-DC and IFN-DC. These differences are unlikely to impact the efficacy of T cell functional response since IFN2-DC and IFN-DC were equipotent in inducing the proliferation and the polarization of allogenic nave CD4 T cells into Th1 cells and in stimulating autologous memory CD4 or CD8 T cells. In contrast, IFN2-DC were found to be more efficient than IFN-DC in the phagocytic uptake of dead cells.

View SamplesHigh-protein diets are known to reduce adiposity in the context of high carbohydrate and Western diets. However, few studies have investigated the specific high-protein effect on lipogenesis induced by a high-sucrose (HS) diet or fat deposition induced by high-fat feeding. We aimed to determine the effects of high protein intake on the development of fat deposition and partitioning in response to high-fat and/or HS feeding. A total of thirty adult male Wistar rats were assigned to one of the six dietary regimens with low and high protein, sucrose and fat contents for 5 weeks. Body weight (BW) and food intake were measured weekly. Oral glucose tolerance tests and meal tolerance tests were performed after 4th and 5th weeks of the regimen, respectively. At the end of the study, the rats were killed 2 h after ingestion of a calibrated meal. Blood, tissues and organs were collected for analysis of circulating metabolites and hormones, body composition and mRNA expression in the liver and adipose tissues. No changes were observed in cumulative energy intake and BW gain after 5 weeks of dietary treatment. However, high-protein diets reduced by 20 % the adiposity gain induced by HS and high-sucrose high-fat (HS-HF) diets. Gene expression and transcriptomic analysis suggested that high protein intake reduced liver capacity for lipogenesis by reducing mRNA expressions of fatty acid synthase (fasn), acetyl-CoA carboxylase a and b (Acaca and Acacb) and sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1c (Srebf-1c). Moreover, ketogenesis, as indicated by plasma -hydroxybutyrate levels, was higher in HS-HF-fed mice that were also fed high protein levels. Taken together, these results suggest that high-protein diets may reduce adiposity by inhibiting lipogenesis and stimulating ketogenesis in the liver.

However, changes in mRNA splicing have not been systematically examined in heart disease. We hypothesized that mRNA splicing is changed in diseased hearts.
