Description
Patients with febrile malaria were recruited in order to determine Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) gene expression during malaria. Blood was harvested from patients during the acute phase of the illness, and then patients were given a curative regimen of antimalarials. Three to four weeks after treatment, patients returned to the malaria clinic and blood was collected again, in order that each patient could serve as his or her own control. PBMC were isolated at the time of blood collection and forzen in RNA extraction buffer. At the end of the study, each patient was arrayed for ~47,000 transcripts, comparing gene expression at the end of therapy to that at the beginning. The goal was to determine which genes were altered as a result of disease at least 2 fold in a statistically significant manner and to assess if the genes involved could be related to Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. Approximately 60 genes involved in inflammation were confirmed by qPCR.

Description
Excessive consumption of beverages sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is associated with obesity and with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Whether HFCS contributes directly to tumorigenesis is unclear. We investigated the effects of daily oral administration of HFCS in APC mutant mice, which are predisposed to develop intestinal tumors. The HFCS-treated mice showed a dramatic increase in tumor size and tumor grade in the absence of obesity or metabolic syndrome. HFCS increased the levels of fructose and glucose in the intestinal lumen and serum, respectively, and the tumors absorbed both sugars. Within the tumors, fructose was converted to fructose-1-phosphate, leading to activation of glycolysis and increased synthesis of fatty acids that support tumor growth. These mouse studies support the hypothesis that the combination of dietary glucose and fructose, even at a moderate dose, can enhance tumorigenesis. Overall design: We investigated tumor and small intestines in APC mutant mice, which are predisposed to develop intestinal tumors.

Description
Little is known about how pro-obesity diets regulate tissue stem and progenitor cell function. Here we find that high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity augments the numbers and function of Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells (ISCs) of the mammalian intestine. Like HFD, ex vivo treatment of intestinal organoid cultures with palmitic acid (PA), a constituent of the HFD, enhances the self-renewal potential of these organoid bodies. Mechanistically, HFD induces a robust peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPAR-delta signature in intestinal stem and progenitor cells and pharmacologic activation of PPAR-delta recapitulates the effects that HFD has on these cells. Interestingly, HFD- and agonist-activated PPAR-delta signaling endows organoid-initiating capacity to non-stem cells and enforced PPAR-delta signaling permits these non-stem cells to form in vivo tumors upon loss of the tumor suppressor Apc. These findings highlight how diet-modulated PPAR-delta activation alters not only the function of intestinal stem and progenitor cells but also their capacity to initiate tumors. Overall design: mRNA profiles of intestinal stem cells (GFP-Hi) and progenitors (GFP-Low) from WT or HFD fed mice were generated by deep sequencing using HiSeq 2000.

Description
The Polymerase Associated Factor (PAFc) complex is an epigenetic regulating complex that has been shown to to be important for Acute Myeloid Leukemias harboring an MLL chromosomal translocations, such as MLL-AF9 leukemias. This study describes the transcriptomic profiling of AML cells following genetic deletion of the PAFc subunit Cdc73. Overall design: Cdc73floxed cells were transformed to an AML using MLL-AF9 oncogene transduction. The cells were also transduced with a 4OHT inducible CreER. The cells were then treated for 24 or 48 hours with 4OHT to induce genetic excision of Cdc73 and polyA mRNA was isolated for sequencing of the transcriptome. Biological duplicates are labelled _1 and _2.

Description
The root cap-specific conversion of the auxin precursor indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) into the main auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) generates a local auxin source which subsequently modulates both the periodicity and intensity of auxin response oscillations in the root tip of Arabidopsis, and consequently fine-tunes the spatiotemporal patterning of lateral roots. To explore downstream components of this signaling process, we investigated the early transcriptional regulations happening in the root tip during IBA-to-IAA conversion in Col-0 and ibr1 ibr3 ibr10 triple mutant after 6 hours of IBA treatment.
