Description
Chemokine signaling is important for the seeding of different sites by hematopoietic stem cells during development. Serum Response Factor (SRF) controls multiple genes governing adhesion and migration, mainly by recruiting members of the Myocardin-Related Transcription Factor (MRTF) family of G-actin regulated cofactors. We used vav-iCre to inactivate MRTF-SRF signaling early during hematopoietic development. In both Srf- and Mrtf-deleted animals, hematopoiesis in fetal liver and spleen is intact, but does not become established in fetal bone marrow. Srf-null HSC/Ps (hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells) fail to effectively engraft in transplantation experiments, exhibiting normal proximal signaling responses to SDF-1, but reduced adhesiveness, F-actin assembly, and reduced motility. Srf-null HSC/Ps fail to polarise in response to SDF-1, and cannot migrate through restrictive membrane pores to SDF-1 or Scf in vitro. Mrtf-null HSC/Ps were also defective in chemotactic responses to SDF-1. MRTF-SRF signaling is thus critical for the response to chemokine signaling during hematopoietic development. Overall design: Strand specific RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in sorted WT and SRF deleted LSK cells with or without a 30 minute SDF stimulation and validation by qRT-PCR

Description
HSF1 is a major transcriptional regulator of heat shock responses. Many cells activate HSF1 in response to heat shock temperatures (>42oC) and other cellular stress causing agents. Unlike other cell types, T cells activate HSF1 in response to T cell activation or when exposed to febrile (40oC) temperatures, suggesting a role for HSF1 beyond the heat-shock response.

The etiology of autoimmune hepatitis is poorly understood but likely involves Th1 cells producing IFN-. BALB/c background TGF-1-/- mice rapidly develop fulminant Th1-mediated autoimmune hepatitis. Our aims are to profile liver gene expression in TGF-1-/- mice, to identify gene expression pathways dependent on IFN- as possible targets for rational therapy, and to test potential targets directly in vivo in mice.

Description
Autophagy is a homeostatic cellular process involved in the degradation of long-lived/damaged cellular components. The role of autophagy in adipogenesis is well recognized, but its role in mature adipocyte function is largely unknown. We show that the autophagy proteins Atg3 and Atg16L1 are required for proper mitochondrial function in mature adipocytes. In contrast to previous studies, we found that post-developmental ablation of autophagy causes peripheral insulin resistance independently of diet or adiposity. Finally, lack of adipocyte autophagy reveals a - cross talk between fat and liver mediated by lipid peroxide-induced Nrf2 signaling. Our data reveal a - role for autophagy in preventing lipid peroxide formation and their transfer in insulin-sensitive peripheral tissues Overall design: Epididymal adipose tissue from 4 WT and 4 Adiponectin-Cre Atg3f/f male mice fed chow diet

Description
Inflammation is highly associated with colon carcinogenesis. Epigenetic mechanisms play an important role in the initiation and progression of colon cancer. Curcumin is a dietary cancer preventive phytochemical with promising effect in suppressing colitis-associated colon cancer (CAC) in azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) mouse model. In the present study, we confirmed the effect of curcumin in suppressing colon cancer. Using Agilent SureSelect Methyl-seq and RNA-seq, we obtained single-base methylation profile and transcriptome analyses of epithelial cells from control group, AOM and DSS induced group (AOM+DSS), and AOM and DSS induced plus curcumin treated group (AOM+DSS+Curcumin) in a 18 weeks long-term colon cancer mouse model. We observed differentially expressed genes in pair-wise comparison and identified several pathways of small set of genes involved in the potential preventive effect of curcumin. These pathways include LPS/IL-1 mediated inhibition of RXR function, NRF2-mediated oxidative stress response, aldosterone signaling in epithelial cells, production of NO and ROS in macrophages, and IL-6 signaling. The average DNA methylation levels of the three groups are significantly different also. Based on differential methylation patterns of three groups, several pathways of genes were identified including IL-8 signaling, LPS-stimulated MAPK signaling and colorectal cancer metastasis signaling. Among these methylated pathways and genes, Tnf, an inflammatory gene stood out with decreased DNA CpG methylation in the AOM-DSS as compared to the control group and interestingly curcumin reversed the CpG methylation (validated by pyrosequencing). These observations correlated with decreased, and increased with curcumin, Tnf expression in RNA-seq (validated by qPCR), respectively. The functional role of DNA methylation of Tnf was confirmed by in vitro luciferase transcriptional activity assay. In addition, we found that a group of genes associated with the inflammatory responses and their methylation level was decreased in AOM+DSS group but restored in the curcumin treated group. Taken together, in this study, aberrant DNA CpG methylation of the inflammatory response was found in colitis-associated colon cancer and curcumin restored their CpG methlyation, which could potentially explain the inflammatory and cancer protective effects of curcumin. (Note this GEO/dataset is the RNA-seq part of the study.) Overall design: mRNA profiles of colon epithelial cells from 18 weeks old C57BL6 mice of 3 groups (1, Contro; 2, AOM and DSS induced; 3, AOM and DSS induced,and curcumin treated.

Description
Multiple sclerosis involves an aberrant autoimmune response and progressive failure of remyelination in the central nervous system. Prevention of neural degeneration and subsequent disability requires remyelination through the generation of new oligodendrocytes, but current treatments exclusively target the immune system. Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells are stem cells in the central nervous system and the principal source of myelinating oligodendrocytes. These cells are abundant in demyelinated regions of patients with multiple sclerosis, yet fail to differentiate, thereby representing a cellular target for pharmacological intervention. To discover therapeutic compounds for enhancing myelination from endogenous oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, we screened a library of bioactive small molecules on mouse pluripotent epiblast stem-cell-derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. Here we show seven drugs function at nanomolar doses selectively to enhance the generation of mature oligodendrocytes from progenitor cells in vitro. Two drugs, miconazole and clobetasol, are effective in promoting precocious myelination in organotypic cerebellar slice cultures, and in vivo in early postnatal mouse pups. Systemic delivery of each of the two drugs significantly increases the number of new oligodendrocytes and enhances remyelination in a lysolecithin-induced mouse model of focal demyelination. Administering each of the two drugs at the peak of disease in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mouse model of chronic progressive multiple sclerosis results in striking reversal of disease severity. Immune response assays show that miconazole functions directly as a remyelinating drug with no effect on the immune system, whereas clobetasol is a potent immunosuppressant as well as a remyelinating agent. Mechanistic studies show that miconazole and clobetasol function in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells through mitogen-activated protein kinase and glucocorticoid receptor signalling, respectively. Furthermore, both drugs enhance the generation of human oligodendrocytes from human oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in vitro. Collectively, our results provide a rationale for testing miconazole and clobetasol, or structurally modified derivatives, to enhance remyelination in patients. Overall design: RNA sequencing of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells treated with vehicle, miconazole or clobetasol for 0, 2, 6, or 12 hours. Cells were plated 1.5 hours prior to addition of drug.

Description
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive neoplasm with poor outcome. However, some patients have an indolent disease (iMCL) and may not require intensive treatment at initial diagnosis. Diagnostic criteria to recognize these patients are not available. We hypothesized that the analysis of the genetic and expression features of the tumors may help to identify patients with an indolent clinical evolution and provide biomarkers that could be used in the clinical setting.
