Description
Gender dimorphism exists in the physiological response to diet and other environmental factors. Trans-hydrogenated fatty acid (TFA) intake is associated with an increase in coronary heart disease (CHD), and gender differences in the incidence of CHD are well documented. Neonatal administration of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) causes stunted heart growth and hypoplasticity; and gender dimorphism at the growth hormone axis has been demonstrated in MSG-treated rodents. The identification of gender dimorphism in cardiac nutrigenomics may provide the basis for gender-specific medicine in the future.

Description
Non-nutritive sweeteners like sucralose are consumed by billions of people. While animal and human studies have demonstrated a link between synthetic sweetener consumption and metabolic dysregulation, the mechanisms responsible remain unknown. Here we use a diet supplemented with sucralose to investigate the long-term effects of sweet/energy imbalance. In flies, chronic sweet/energy imbalance promoted hyperactivity, insomnia, glucose intolerance, enhanced sweet taste perception and a sustained increase in food and calories consumed, effects that are reversed upon sucralose removal. Mechanistically, this response was mapped to the ancient insulin, catecholamine, and NPF/NPY systems and the energy sensor AMPK, which together comprise a novel neuronal starvation response pathway. Interestingly, chronic sweet/energy imbalance promoted increased food intake in mammals as well, and this also occurs through an NPY-dependent mechanism. Together our data show that chronic consumption of a sweet/energy imbalanced diet triggers a conserved neuronal fasting response and increases the motivation to eat. Overall design: RNA-seq on Drosophila head samples fed control and sucralose diet

Description
Transcriptomic analysis of primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). HUVEC were treated in vitro with CoCl2 to induce hypoxia, high glucose and high glucose plus hypoxia in different intervals (1, 3, 12 hours). Subsequently, the effect of metformin (anti-diabetic drug) on all conditions was studied to take advantage of transcriptomics to prospectively explore the mechanism of this drug to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases in type II diabetic patients.

Description
Cilia are ubiquitous cell surface projections that modulate various sensory- and motility based processes and are implicated in a growing number of multi-organ genetic disorders termed ciliopathies. As new components required for cilium biogenesis and function remain unidentified, we sought to further define and validate the transcriptional targets of the ciliogenic C. elegans RFX transcription factor DAF-19. To this end, transcriptional profiling of daf-19 mutants (which do not form cilia) and wild-type animals was performed using selectively staged embryos where ciliogenesis occurs in most ciliated sensory neurons
Publication Title
Transcriptional profiling of C. elegans DAF-19 uncovers a ciliary base-associated protein and a CDK/CCRK/LF2p-related kinase required for intraflagellar transport.

Description
P. falciparum NF54 proliferates under micro-aerophilic conditions in an environment of 3% O2, 4% CO2, 93% N2. This strain was gradually adapted to proliferate under standard tissue culture conditions of 5% CO2/95% air (~19% O2) to generate P. falciparum HOX. We compared global gene expression profiles of the two strains to identify differences, if any.

Description
Timothy grass (TG) pollen is a common seasonal airborne allergen associated with symptoms ranging from mild rhinitis to severe asthma. The aim of this study was to characterize changes in TG-specific T cell responses as a function of seasonality. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained either during the pollen season or out of season, from allergic individuals and non-allergic controls were stimulated either with TG extract or a pool of previously identified immunodominant antigenic regions. PBMC from in season allergic subjects exhibit higher IL-5 and IL-10 responses compared to out of season donors. In the case of non-allergic subjects, as expected we observed lower IL-5 responses and robust production of IFN? compared to allergic individuals. Strikingly, non-atopic donors exhibited an opposing pattern with decreased immune reactivity in-season. The broad downregulation in non-allergic donors indicates that healthy individuals are not oblivious to allergen exposure but rather react with an active modulation of the responses following the antigenic stimulus provided during the pollen season. Transcriptomic analysis of allergen-specific T cells defined genes modulated in concomitance with allergen exposure and inhibition of responses in non-allergic donors. Magnitude and functionality of T-helper cell responses differ substantially for in season versus out of season in allergic and non-allergic subjects. The results indicate specific and opposing modulation of immune responses following the antigenic stimulation during the pollen season. This seasonal modulation reflects the enactment of specific molecular programs associated with health and allergic disease. Overall design: 11 allergen-specific T cell RNA samples were analyzed: 5 isolated from PBMC of allergic individuals and 6 from non-allergic individuals (considered as the control group).
Publication Title
Lack of allergy to timothy grass pollen is not a passive phenomenon but associated with the allergen-specific modulation of immune reactivity.
