Description
Vascular permeability reflects changes in the function of the endothelium, its interendothelial junctions and transcellular delivery. Here, we show that common molecular mechanisms exist between VEGF and histamine in regulating vascular hyperpermeability. Crosstalk between downstream signaling of VEGF and histamine receptors are involved in calcium signaling and cell proliferation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of vascular permeability is crucial in order to reduce vascular hyperpermeability and oedema in various pathological conditions and in VEGF therapy. Overall design: In despite of the substantial knowledge of VEGF and histamine signal transduction and their physiological responses, molecular mechanisms inducing endothelial cell permeability and proliferation have remained inconclusive. To monitor the transcriptional alteration of proteins known to regulate the endothelial permeability, next-generation RNA sequencing was used. Fold changes of several genes known to regulate calcium signaling, cell adhesion, cell proliferation, ion flux and immune response were compared between the permeabilizing agents.

Description
The 14-week experiment included three groups: 1) the Acute Cpn group, with one C. pneumoniae inoculation at the age of 9 wks; 2) the Chronic Cpn group, with three C. pneumoniae inoculations at the age of 9, 11, and 13 wks; and 3) the control group, with three SPG inoculations at the age of 9, 11, and 13 wks. The mice were sacrificed at the age of 14 wks. The 24-week experiment included four groups: 1) the recurrent A. actinomycetemcomitans infection group, with ten A. actinomycetemcomitans inoculations once a week from the age of 14 to 23 wks; 2) the chronic C. pneumoniae infection group, with three C. pneumoniae inoculations at the age of 9, 11, and 13 wks; 3) the combined chronic C. pneumoniae and recurrent A. actinomycetemcomitans infection group, with three C. pneumoniae inoculations at the age of 9, 11, and 13 wks, and ten A. actinomycetemcomitans inoculations once a week from the age of 14 to 23 wks; and 4) the control group, with three SPG inoculations at the age of 9, 11, and 13 wks, and ten 0.9% NaCl inoculations once a week from the age of 14 to 23 wks. The mice were sacrificed at the age of 24 wks.Epididymal and inguinal AT gene expression was analyzed using an Illumina Mouse WG-6 v2.0 platform.

Description
Objective: Dyslipidemia is one of the key factors behind coronary heart disease. Blood and lymphatic vessels play pivotal roles in both lipoprotein metabolism and development of atherosclerotic plaques. Recent studies have linked members of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) family to lipid metabolism but the function of VEGF-D has remained unexplored. Here we investigated how the deletion of VEGF-D affects lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in atherogenic LDLR-/-ApoB100/100 mice. Approach and Results: Deletion of VEGF-D (Vegfd-/-LDLR-/-ApoB100/100) led to markedly elevated plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels without an increase in atherogenesis. Size distribution and hepatic lipid uptake studies confirmed a delayed clearance of large chylomicron remnant particles that cannot easily penetrate through the vascular endothelium. Mechanistically, the inhibition of VEGF-D signaling significantly decreased the hepatic expression of syndecan 1 (SDC1), which is one of the main receptors for chylomicron remnant uptake when LDLR is absent. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed reduced expression of SDC1 in the sinusoidal surface of hepatocytes in VEGF-D deficient mice. Furthermore, hepatic RNA sequencing revealed that VEGF-D is also an important regulator of genes related to lipid metabolism and inflammation. The lack of VEGF-D signaling via VEGF receptor 3 led to lowered expression of genes regulating triglyceride and cholesterol production as well as downregulation of peroxisomal ß-oxidation pathway. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that VEGF-D, a powerful lymphangiogenic and angiogenic growth factor, is also a major regulator of chylomicron metabolism in mice. Overall design: Gene expression profiling of mouse liver tissue from control and VEGF-D knock-out mice. Control and VEGF-D KO mice were both in C57Bl/6 and atherosclerotic background, i.e., deficient of LDLR and expressing only apolipoprotein B100.

Description
Using a mouse model overexpressing human SNCA and profiling the striatal transcriptome, we assessed gene-environment interactions to reveal perturbations in gene expression and their modulation through chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) exposure. Overall design: Using a 2x2 factorial design, we cross-compared a line of transgenic mice overexpressing human SNCA with wildtype animals, and the effects of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) with standard housing conditions. Employing RNA-seq, we profiled gene expression in the striatum of 6-month-old female animals.
