Description
Purpose: To ensure that ABX464 acted specifically on HIV splicing and did not significantly or globally affect the splicing events of human genes, we used an assembly approach of HIV (YU2 strain) putative transcripts and human long non-coding sequences from paired-reads (2x75bp) captured on a NimbleGen SeqCap® EZ Developer Library (Roche/NimbleGen). Methods: Cells were infected with 80 ng of p24/106 cells of the YU-2 strain for 4 to 6 hours and then rinsed with PBS before medium renewal, followed by high-throughput RNAseq from custom SeqCap EZ capture libraries. Each raw dataset of the samples contained between 5 and 30 million paired-end reads (75 bp), with an average of approximately 12 million raw reads per sample. Results: The raw reads were then cleaned and assembled per library to generate contigs, giving an average of 930 contigs per sample for further analyses. Conclusions: Our results show that high-throughput analyses coupled with bioinformatics-specific tools offers a comprehensive and more accurate view of mRNA splicing within a cell. Overall design: We used buffy coats from HIV-negative individuals were obtained from the local blood donation center, then human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by Ficoll (Histopaque, Sigma) gradient centrifugation. Cells were infected with 80 ng of p24/106 cells of the YU-2 strain for 4 to 6 hours and then rinsed with PBS before medium renewal.

Description
Adenosine binds to 4 G protein-coupled receptors located on the cardiomyocyte (A1-R, A2a-R, A2b-R and A3-R) and modulates cardiac function during both ischemia and load-induced stress. While the role of adenosine receptor-subtypes has been well defined in the setting of ischemia-reperfusion, far less is known regarding their roles in protecting the heart during other forms of cardiac stress.

- Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
Plant BZR1-BAM transcription factors contain a -amylase (BAM)-like domain, characteristic of proteins involved in starch breakdown. The enzyme-derived domains appear to be non-catalytic, but determine the function of the Arabidopsis thaliana BZR1-BAMs (BAM7 and BAM8) during transcriptional initiation. Microarray experiments with plants overexpressing different mutant versions of the proteins show that only functional BZR1-BAM variants deregulate gene expression and cause leaf developmental abnormalities. Transcriptional changes caused by overexpression of the BZR1 domain alone indicate that the BAM domain increases selectivity for the preferred cis-regulatory element BBRE (BZR1-BAM Responsive Element).

Description
PIWI interacting RNAs (piRNAs) provide defense against transposable element (TE) expansion in the germline of metazoans. piRNAs are processed from the transcripts encoded by specialized heterochromatic clusters enriched in damaged copies of transposons. How these regions are recognized as a source of piRNAs is still elusive. The aim of this study is to determine how transgenes that contain a fragment of the LINE-like I transposon lead to an acquired TE resistance in Drosophila. We show that such transgenes, being inserted in unique euchromatic regions which normally do not produce small RNAs, become de novo bidirectional piRNA clusters that silence I-element activity in the germline. Strikingly, small RNAs of both polarities are generated from the entire transgene and flanking genomic sequences — not only from the transposon fragment. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis shows that in ovaries the trimethylated histone 3 lysine 9 (H3K9me3) mark associates with transgenes producing piRNAs. We show that transgene-derived hsp70 piRNAs stimulate in trans cleavage of cognate endogenous transcripts with subsequent processing of the non-homologous parts of these transcripts into piRNAs. Overall design: The fractions of small RNAs (19-29 nt) from ovaries of wild type and 11 transgenic lines of Drosophila melanogaster were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Description
Human adult mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) have the potential to differentiate into chondrogenic, adipogenic or osteogenic lineages, providing a potential source for tissue regeneration. An important issue for efficient bone regeneration is to identify factors that can be targeted to promote the osteogenic potential of hMSCs. Using transcriptomic analysis, we found that integrin alpha5 (ITGA5) expression is upregulated during dexamethasone-induced hMSCs osteoblast differentiation. Gain-of-function studies showed that ITGA5 promotes the expression of osteoblast phenotypic markers as well as in vitro osteogenesis in hMSCs. Downregulation of endogenous ITGA5 using shRNA blunted osteoblast marker expression and osteogenic differentiation. Pharmacological and molecular analyses showed that the enhanced hMSCs osteoblast differentiation induced by ITGA5 was mediated by activation of FAK/ERK1/2-MAPKs and PI3K signaling pathways. Remarkably, activation of ITGA5 using a specific antibody that primes the integrin or a peptide that specifically activates ITGA5 was sufficient to enhance ERK1/2-MAPKs and PI3K signaling and to promote osteoblast differentiation and osteogenic capacity of hMSCs. We also demonstrate that hMSCs engineered to over-express ITGA5 exhibited a marked increase in their osteogenic potential in vivo. These findings not only reveal that ITGA5 is required for osteoblast differentiation of adult human MSCs but also provide a novel targeted strategy using ITGA5 agonists to promote the osteogenic capacity of hMSCs, which may be used for tissue regeneration in bone disorders where the recruitment or capacity of MSCs is compromised.
