Description
Previously we had shown in a mouse model of bronchial asthma that thrombomodulin (TM; CD141; BDCA3) can convert immunogenic conventional dendritic cells into tolerogenic dendritic cells while inducing its own expression on the cell surface. Thrombomodulin+ dendritic cells are tolerogenic while thrombomodulin- dendritic cells are pro-inflammatory and immunogenic. Here we hypothesized that thrombomodulin treatment of dendritic cells would modulate inflammatory gene expression. Murine bone marrow derived dendritic cells were treated with soluble thrombomodulin and expression of surface markers was determined. Treatment with thrombomodulin reduces the expression of maturation markers and increases the expression of TM on the DC surface. Thrombomodulin treated and control dendritic cells were sorted into thrombomodulin+ and thrombomodulin- dendritic cells before their mRNA was analyzed by microarray. mRNAs encoding pro-inflammatory genes and dendritic cells maturation markers were reduced while cell cycle genes were increased in thrombomodulin-treated and thrombomodulin+ dendritic cells compared to control dendritic cells and thrombomodulin- dendritic cells.

Description
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a sphingolipid metabolite that regulates basic cell functions through metabolic and signaling pathways. Intracellular metabolism of S1P is controlled, in part, by two homologous S1P phosphatases, 1 and 2, which are encoded by Sgpp1 and Sgpp2, respectively. S1P phosphatase activity is needed for efficient recycling of sphingosine into the sphingolipid synthesis pathway. S1P phosphatase 1 is important for skin homeostasis, but little is known about the functional role of S1P phosphatase 2. To identify the functions of S1P phosphatase 2 in vivo, we studied mice with the Sgpp2 gene deleted. In contrast to Sgpp1-/- mice, Sgpp2-/- mice had normal skin and were viable into adulthood. Unexpectedly, WT mice expressed Sgpp2 mRNA at high levels in pancreatic islets when compared with other tissues. Sgpp2-/- mice had normal blood insulin levels and pancreatic islet size; however, Sgpp2-/- mice treated with a high-fat diet (HFD) had significantly lower blood insulin levels and smaller pancreatic islets compared with WT mice. The smaller islets in the HFD-treated Sgpp2-/- mice had a significantly lower adaptive -cell proliferation rate in response to the diet compared with HFD-treated WT mice. Importantly, -cells from Sgpp2-/- mice fed a normal diet showed significantly increased expression of proteins characteristic of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response compared with -cells from WT mice. Our results suggest that Sgpp2 deletion causes -cell ER stress, which is a known cause of -cell dysfunction, and reveal a novel juncture in the sphingolipid recycling pathway that could impact the development of diabetes.

Description
We have examined the biological effect of EWS/ETS in human MPCs using UET-13 cells that are obtained by prolonging the lifespan of human bone marrow stromal cells using the retroviral transgenes hTERT and E7. By exploiting tetracycline-inducible systems for expressing EWS/ETS (EWS/FLI1 and EWS/ERG), we investigated candidates for genes whose expression is regulated by EWS/ETS in human MPCs.

Description
Because injured mitochondria can accelerate cell death through the elaboration of oxidative free radicals and other mediators, it is somewhat paradoxical that proliferator gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1a), a stimulator of increased mitochondrial abundance, protects stressed renal cells instead of potentiating injury. Here we report that PGC1a's induction of lysosomes via transcription factor EB (TFEB) may be pivotal for kidney protection. CRISPR and stable gene transfer showed that PGC1a knockout tubular cells were sensitized to the genotoxic stressor cisplatin whereas transgenic cells were protected. The biosensor mtKeima unexpectedly revealed that cisplatin blunts mitophagy both in cells and mice. PGC1a not only counteracted this effect but also raised basal mitophagy, as did the downstream mediator nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). PGC1a did not consistent affect known autophagy pathways modulated by cisplatin. Instead RNA sequencing identified coordinated regulation of lysosomal biogenesis via TFEB. This effector pathway was sufficiently important that inhibition of TFEB or lysosomes unveiled a striking harmful effect of excess PGC1a in cells and conditional mice. These results uncover an unexpected effect of cisplatin on mitophagy and PGC1a's exquisite reliance on lysosomes for kidney protection. Finally, the data illuminate TFEB as a novel target for renal tubular stress resistance. Overall design: 12 samples in total = 3 replicates each from 4 groups

TFEB-driven lysosomal biogenesis is pivotal for PGC1α-dependent renal stress resistance.

Description
Many neural progenitor cells present in the fetus, but also in adult brain, which play a major role for the reproduction for healingin regeneration of neuronal cells, when differentiated cells are damaged. However, effects of radiation effect on undifferentiated neural progenitor cells remained unclear. The radiation doses of medical exposure, pollution by nuclear power plant accidents, and other exposure of workers; medical workers, airline crews, and astronaut have been focused. In this study, we report the effects of low- to middle- dose doses of radiation on cultured human neural progenitor cells (hNPC) differentiated derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells, which are partially compared with those of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC).

Description
Single-stranded DNA or RNA sequences rich in guanine (G) can adopt non-canonical structures known as G-quadruplexes (G4). G4 in the mitochondrial genome are heavy-strand enriched and have been associated with the formation of deletion breakpoints that cause mitochondrial diseases. However, the functional role of G4 structures in mitochondria remains unclear. Here, we have identified RHPS4 as a G4-specific ligand that localizes to mitochondria and causes replication pausing, with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion occurring at higher dosage. We further show that RHPS4 interferes with mitochondrial transcript elongation at low doses, leading to respiratory complex depletion. These unprecedented observations suggest that G4 motifs modulate mitochondrial transcription and replication efficiency. Using the differential effects of high vs low RHPS4 dosing, we characterized gene expression pathway responses to mitochondrial transcription inhibition or mitochondrial genome depletion. Importantly, a human mtDNA mutation that increases G4 formation potential strongly enhanced the RHPS4-mediated mitochondrial respiratory defect. We propose that abnormal G4 dynamics may contribute to mtDNA instability and gene expression defects, particularly in the presence of mitochondrial mutations that enhance the G4 formation. Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from the mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) stimulated with 0um (n=3), 2um (n=3), and 10um (n=2) RHPS4. Total stranded RNA libraries (ribo-depleted) were generated and sequenced on the Illumina NextSeq 500 NGS platform. RNA-seq data was analyzed for differentially expressed genes between groups of samples.
