Diagnosis of acute respiratory viral infection is currentlybased on clinical symptoms and pathogen detection. Use of host peripheral blood gene expression data to classify individuals with viral respiratory infection represents a novel means of infection diagnosis.
Gene expression signatures diagnose influenza and other symptomatic respiratory viral infections in humans.

Vitamin C induces Tet-dependent DNA demethylation and a blastocyst-like state in ES cells.

View SamplesDNA methylation is a heritable epigenetic modification involved in gene silencing, imprinting, and the suppression of retrotransposons. Global DNA demethylation occurs in the early embryo and the germline and may be mediated by Tet (ten-eleven-translocation) enzymes, which convert 5-methylcytosine (mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC). Tet enzymes have been extensively studied in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, which are generally cultured in the absence of Vitamin C, a potential co-factor for Fe(II) 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase enzymes like Tets. Here we report that addition of Vitamin C to ES cells promotes Tet activity leading to a rapid and global increase in hmC. This is followed by DNA demethylation of numerous gene promoters and up-regulation of demethylated germline genes. Tet1 binding is enriched near the transcription start site (TSS) of genes affected by Vitamin C treatment. Importantly, Vitamin C, but not other antioxidants, enhances the activity of recombinant human Tet1 in a biochemical assay and the Vitamin C-induced changes in hmC and mC are entirely suppressed in Tet1/2 double knockout (Tet DKO) ES cells. Vitamin C has the strongest effects on regions that gain methylation in cultured ES cells compared to blastocysts and in vivo are methylated only after implantation. In contrast, imprinted regions and intracisternal A-particle (IAP) elements, which are resistant to demethylation in the early embryo, are resistant to Vitamin C-induced DNA demethylation. Collectively, this study establishes that Vitamin C is a direct regulator of Tet activity and DNA methylation fidelity in ES cells.

View SamplesAlthough many regulatory components of light signaling have been functionally characterized, only a few of them have been reported to cross talk with other signaling cascades. In this study, we have analyzed the expression profiles of Arabidopsis genes in wild-type, atmyc2 mutant, cop1-6 mutant, and atmyc2 cop1-6 double mutant seedlings grown under constant dark, constant blue-light, and constant blue-light along with abscisic acid (ABA) to illustrate the interplay of negative regulators, AtMYC2 and COP1, in light and ABA signaling

View SamplesArabidopsis thaliana seeds after imbibition were inoculated in ½ MS medium supplemented with 0.8% agar and 1% sucrose. Once the plant material was uniformly germinated, the experimental conditions were applied. 5d old light-grown uniformly germinated seedlings were washed seven times with sterile water with last wash given by ½ MS liquid medium without sucrose to remove residual exogenous sugar and the plant material was kept in ½ MS liquid without sucrose in the dark for all subsequent steps. Cultures were shaken at 140 rpm at 22oC for 24 h and then 3 h treatment was given with liquid ½ MS without glucose and liquid ½ MS supplemented with BR (0.1 ?M EBR), glucose (3%), glucose (3%) + BR (0.1 ?M EBR). Seedlings were harvested after 3h and preceded for RNA isolation and Microarray analysis.
