Description
We profiled genome-wide gene expression of 170 individual mid-gestation (embryonic day 11.5) whole mouse embryos derived from a 2-generation interspecies mouse cross and asked to what extent genetic variation drives four important parameters of regulatory architecture: allele-specific expression (ASE), imprinting, trans-regulatory effects, and maternal effect. The inbred strain C57BL/6J and wild-derived inbred strain CAST/EiJ were used in reciprocal crosses to generate F1 embryos. F1 progeny were backcrossed to C57BL/6J in reciprocal crosses to generate 154 N2 embryos. We employed a backcross design, in which N2 offspring have genotypically distinct parents, to enable comparison of gene expression for offspring from each side of the reciprocal cross. Our findings demonstrate that genetic variation contributes to widespread gene expression differences during mammalian embryogenesis. Overall design: Transcriptome analysis of E11.5 mouse embryos: 16 F1 embryos from reciprocally crossed C57BL/6J and CastEi/J parents; and 154 N2 embryos from reciprocal backcross of F1s to the C57BL/6J parent.

Description
Purpose: The goal of this study is to identify host genes whose expression is perturbed in primary CD4+ T cells by histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (HDACi) SAHA and RMD, which have different potencies and specificities for various HDACs. The study aims to evaluate the effects of SAHA and RMD that may promote or inhibit reactivation of HIV provirus out of latency. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected from 4 HIV-seronegative donors. CD4+ T cells were isolated and utilized to generate an in vitro model of latent HIV infection (model developed in the Spina laboratory and previously described in Spina et al., 2013). Mock-infected cells were cultured in parallel to evaluate effects of SAHA and RMD that may be dependent on the exposure of cells to virus. Following generation of the model, cells were treated with SAHA, RMD or their solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for 24 hours. Mock-infected cells were treated in parallel. The experiment had 4 biological replicates, 6 conditions for each, for a total of 24 samples. ERCC spikes (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) were added to cell lysates based on cell number in each sample (10 ul of 1:800 dilution per million cells). Mix 1 was used for DMSO- and mix 2 for SAHA- and RMD-treated cells. After all samples were collected, RNA was extracted and subjected to deep sequencing by Expression Analysis, Inc. Sequence reads that passed quality filters were mapped using Tophat (human genome) or Bowtie (ERCC spikes and HIV) and counted using HTSeq. ERCC spikes with the same concentration in mixes 1 and 2 were utilized to remove unwanted technical variation. Any human gene which did not achieve at least 1 count per million reads in at least 4 samples or any ERCC that did not achieve at least 5 reads in at least 4 samples was discarded. Differential gene expression analysis was performed using library EdgeR in Bioconductor R. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) HIV-1 Human Interaction Database was then searched for genes that have been implicated in controlling HIV latency. EdgeR output was used to extract expression information of the genes of interest from the NCBI database to identify genes implicated in HIV latency that were modulated by SAHA and RMD. The resulting lists were manually curated to verify relevance to HIV latency, using the Description column of the NCBI database, as well as available PubMed references. Results: Using a custom built data analysis pipeline, ~100 million reads per sample were mapped to the human genome (build hg38). After applying filtering criteria, 16058 human transcripts, 19 ERCC spikes transcripts, and HIV NL4-3 transcripts were identified with the Tophat/Bowtie and HTSeq workflow. Differential expression analysis was performed between SAHA or RMD-treated and DMSO-treated cells. In addition, differential modulation of gene expression by SAHA and RMD in the model of HIV latency and mock-infected cells was assessed using EdgeR. In mock-infected cells, SAHA upregulated 3,971 genes and downregulated 2,940 genes; RMD upregulated 5,068 genes and downregulated 4,050 genes. In the model of HIV latency, SAHA upregulated 3,498 genes and downregulated 2,904 genes; RMD upregulated 5,116 genes and downregulated 4,053 genes (FDR < 0.05). SAHA modulated 6, and RMD 11 genes differentially between mock-infected cells and the model of HIV latency. Following search of the NCBI HIV-1 Human Interaction Database, 27 genes upregulated and 29 downregulated in common between SAHA and RMD were found to be relevant to regulation of HIV latency; 31 were up- and 32 downregulated by RMD only; and 6 were up- and 2 were downregulated by SAHA only. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that SAHA and RMD, which have different potencies and specificities for HDACs, modulate a set of overlapping genes implicated in regulation of HIV latency. Some of these genes may be explored as additional host targets for improving the outcomes of “shock and kill” strategies. Overall design: Transcriptomic profiling of the in vitro model of HIV latency and mock-infected cells treated with SAHA, RMD or the solvent DMSO (N=4 donors) by deep sequencing at Expression Analysis, Inc.

Description
Metal tolerance is often a result of metal storage or distribution. Thus, with the goal of advancing the molecular understanding of such metal homeostatic mechanisms, natural variation of metal tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana was investigated. Substantial variation exists in tolerance of excess copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd). Two accessions, Col-0 and Bur-0, and a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from these parents were chosen for further analysis of Cd and Zn tolerance variation, which is evident at different plant ages in various experimental systems and appears to be genetically linked. Three QTLs, explaining in total nearly 50 % of the variation in Cd tolerance, were mapped. The one obvious candidate gene in the mapped intervals, HMA3, is unlikely to contribute to the variation. In order to identify additional candidate genes the Cd responses of Col-0 and Bur-0 were compared at the transcriptome level. The sustained common Cd response of the two accessions was dominated by processes implicated in plant pathogen defense. Accession-specific differences suggested a more efficient activation of acclimative responses as underlying the higher Cd tolerance of Bur-0. The second hypothesis derived from the physiological characterization of the accessions is a reduced Cd accumulation in Bur-0.

Description
Brown adipose tissue dissipates energy through heat and functions as a defense against cold and obesity. PPAR ligands have been shown to induce the browning of white adipocytes; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show that PPAR ligands require full agonism to induce a brown fat gene program preferentially in subcutaneous white adipose. These effects require expression of PRDM16, a factor that controls the development of classical brown fat. Depletion of PRDM16 blunts the effects of the PPAR agonist rosiglitazone on the induced brown fat gene program. Conversely, PRDM16 and rosiglitazone synergistically activate the brown fat gene program in vivo. This synergy is tightly associated with an increased accumulation of PRDM16 protein, due in large measure to an increase in the half-life of the protein in agonist treated cells. Identifying compounds that stabilize PRDM16 protein may represent a novel therapeutic pathway for the treatment of obesity and diabetes.
