Description
Our understanding of how mesodermal tissue is formed, has been limited by the absence of specific and reliable markers of early mesoderm commitment. We report that mesoderm commitment from human embryonic stem cells (hESC) is initiated by Epithelial to Mesenchymal transition (EMT) as shown by gene expression profiling and by reciprocal changes in expression of the cell surface proteins, EpCAM/CD326 and NCAM/CD56. Molecular and functional assays reveal that CD326negCD56+ cells, generated from hESC in the presence of activin A, BMP4, VEGF and FGF2, represent a novel, multi-potent mesoderm-committed progenitor population. CD326negCD56+ progenitors are unique in their ability to generate all mesodermal lineages including hematopoietic, endothelial, mesenchymal (bone, cartilage, fat, fibroblast), smooth muscle and cardiomyocytes, while lacking the pluripotency of hESC. CD326negCD56+ cells are the precursors of previously reported, more lineage-restricted mesodermal progenitors. These findings present a novel approach to study how germ layer specification is regulated, and offer a unique target for tissue engineering.

Description
We identified two isoforms of human MKL1 that differ in their N-terminal domains. Since MKL1 is a transcriptional coactivator of SRF and regulates many SRF target genes, we wanted to analyze if transcription is differentially regulated by the two isoforms upon stimulation of the Rho-actin-MKL1-SRF pathway.

Description
This study examines the extent to which memory CD4+ T cells share immunosurveillance strategies with CD8+ resident memory T cells (TRM). After acute viral infection, memory CD4+ T cells predominantly utilized residence to survey nonlymphoid tissues, albeit not as stringently as observed for CD8+ T cells. In contrast, memory CD4+ T cells were more likely to be resident within lymphoid organs than CD8+ T cells. Migration properties of memory-phenotype CD4+ T cells in non-SPF parabionts were similar, generalizing these results to diverse infections and conditions. CD4+ and CD8+ TRM shared overlapping transcriptional signatures and location-specific features, such as granzyme B expression in the small intestine, revealing tissue-specific and migration property-specific, in addition to lineage-specific, differentiation programs. Functionally, mucosal CD4+ TRM reactivation locally triggered both chemokine expression and broad immune cell activation. Thus, residence provides a dominant mechanism for regionalizing CD4+ T cell immunity, and location enforces shared transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional properties with CD8+ T cells. Overall design: 17 samples were analyzed by RNA-Sequencing: 3 replicates of resident memory SMARTA CD4 cells (CD62L- CD69+) from the female reproductive tract (FRT) , 2 replicates of resident memory SMARTA CD4 cells (CD62L- CD69+) from the small intestine epithelium (IEL), 3 replicates of resident memory SMARTA CD4 cells (CD62L- CD69+) small intestine lamina propria (LP), 3 replicates of resident memory SMARTA CD4 cells (CD62L- CD69+) from the spleen (SLO), 3 replicates of SMARTA CD4 cells (CD62L+ CD69- or TCM) from the spleen of mice, and 3 replicates of SMARTA CD4 cells (CD62L- CD69- or TEM) from the spleen of mice infected with LCMV-Armstrong 54 days prior.

Description
mRNA sequencing was used to identify genome wide transcriptional changes occuring in fly heads in response to spermidine feeding. This study shed light on the molecular mechanisms through wich spermidine can protect against age-dependent memory impairment. Overall design: mRNA profiles from 3 and 10 day old Drosophila melanogaster heads were generated in duplicate by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx. mRNA profiles from flies that were fed food with 5mM spermidine were compared to profiles from flies that had no spermidine in thier food.

Description
Immunosurveillance of secondary lymphoid organs (SLO) is performed by central memory T cells that recirculate through blood. Resident memory T cells (TRM) remain parked in nonlymphoid tissues and often stably express CD69. We recently identified TRM within SLO, and this study addresses knowledge gaps in their origin and phenotype. Parabiosis of dirty mice revealed that CD69 expression is insufficient to infer stable residence. Using selective depletion strategies, parabiosis, imaging, tissue grafting, and photoactivatable T cells, we report that restimulation of TRM within the skin or mucosa results in a substantial increase in TRM that patrol all regions of draining lymph nodes. SLO TRM were derived from nonlymphoid tissue residents. Transcriptional profiling and flow cytometry revealed a refined phenotype shared between both nonlymphoid and SLO TRM. These data demonstrate the nonlymphoid origin of SLO TRM and suggest vaccination strategies by which memory CD8 T cell immunosurveillance can be regionalized to specific lymph nodes.

Description
The Mediator complex is an evolutionary conserved multiprotein complex that plays an essential role in initiating and regulating transcription. Its function is to act as a universal adaptor between RNA Polymerase II and DNA-bound transcription factors to translate regulatory information from activators and repressors to the transcriptional machinery. We have found that the PFT1 gene (which encodes the MED25 subunit of the Mediator complex) is required for the uncompromised expression of both salicylic acid- and jasmonate-dependent defense genes as well as resistance to the leaf-infecting fungal pathogens, Alternaria brassicicola and Botrytis cinerea in Arabidopsis. Surprisingly, we found that the pft1/med25 mutant showed increased resistance to the root infecting pathogen Fusarium oxysporum and that this resistance was independent of classical defense genes. In addition, the over-expression of PFT1 led to increased susceptibility to F. oxysporum. Therefore, to explore this phenomenon further, we wished to use whole genome transcript profiling to identify which genes may be playing a role in pft1/med25-mediated resistance to F. oxysporum.

Description
Integration of multiple signals shapes cell adaptation to their microenvironment through synergistic and antagonistic interactions. The combinatorial complexity governing signal integration for multiple cellular output responses has not been resolved. For outputs measured in the conditions 0 (control), signals X, Y, X+Y, combinatorial analysis revealed 82 possible interaction profiles, which we biologically assimilated to 5 positive, and 5 negative interaction modes. To experimentally validate their use in living cells, we designed an original computational workflow, and applied it to transcriptomics data of innate immune cells integrating physiopathological signal combinations. Up to 9 of the 10 defined modes coexisted in context-dependent proportions. Each integration mode was enriched in specific molecular pathways, suggesting a coupling between genes involved in particular functions, and the corresponding mode of integration. We propose that multimodality and functional coupling are general principles underlying the systems level integration of physiopathological and pharmacological stimuli by mammalian cells.
