Description
Mouse skin fibroblasts (MSFs) were obtained from a FASST (Fibroblasts Accelerate Stromal-Supported Tumorigenesis) mouse. This mouse model allows for spatial and temporal control for senescence induction by using a stromal specific Cre-recombinase driven by the pro-collagen-alpha II promoter. The stromal specific Cre activates expression of the p27IRESGFP transgene that is expressed from the ROSA locus. We cultured the MSFs in vitro, induced senescence using 10uM tamoxifen added to the media. Non-senescent cells were treated with equal volume of vehicle alone (ethanol). Upon tamoxifen treatment, cells were moved to a modular incubation chamber and maintained at 3% oxygen at 37 degrees celcius for 12 days total before collection. At the time of collection, cells were trypsynized and pelleted by centrifugation. The cells were lysed using Trysol reagent and RNA was isolated using a RiboPure RNA isolation kit (Ambion). Overall design: For this study, 2 treatment groups were analyzed (non-senescent, EtOH samples and senescent, TAM samples). Each treatment group was performed 3 times for a total of 6 samples for analysis. The gene expression analysis is a comparison of expression in senescent (TAM) vs non-senescent (EtOH) mouse skin fibroblasts.

Description
Both immunodeficient and wild type NOD mice exhibit defects in control of early T-cell development in the thymus. We show that Rag1-deficient NOD mice fail to enforce both the b-selection checkpoint and an earlier T-cell commitment checkpoint, based on genome-wide genetic and transcriptome analyses. A major QTL peak for the checkpoint breakthrough phenotype mapped to the diabetes susceptibility Idd9/11 region, as confirmed by congenic mouse analysis. Genome-wide RNA deep-sequencing revealed two classes of differences between NOD and B6 Rag1-deficient thymocytes: first, effects of genetic background prior to breakthrough, and second, effects of the breakthrough itself. These genotypes differentially express numerous signal transduction genes, prominently tyrosine kinase and actin-binding genes, some located within QTL regions. Emerging NOD breakthrough cells depart from the expected DN3 phenotype by expressing many stem cell-associated proto-oncogenes, such as Lmo2, Hhex, Lyl1, and Kit which are normally repressed earlier, and by illegitimate activation of post-b-selection genes like Cd2, Cd5, and Cd4. Co-expression of stem cell and T-cell genes persists in thymic lymphoma cells that emerge with high penetrance in these mice. These results imply that NOD thymocytes have defects that can collapse regulatory boundaries at two early T-cell checkpoints, which may predispose them to leukemia and autoimmunity.

Description
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that participate in immune responses through their cytotoxic activity and secretion of cytokines and chemokines. They can be activated by interaction with ligands on target cells or by soluble mediators such as cytokines. In addition, soluble HLA-G, a major histocompatibility complex molecule secreted by fetal trophoblast cells during early pregnancy, stimulates resting NK cells to secrete proinflammatory and proangiogenic factors. Human NK cells are abundant in uterus, where they remain after implantation. Soluble HLA-G is endocytosed into early endosomes of NK cells where its receptor, CD158d, initiates a signaling cascade through DNA-PKcs, Akt and NF-kB3. The physiological relevance of this endosomal signaling pathway, and how the fate and function of NK cells during early pregnancy is regulated, is unknown. Here we show that soluble agonists of CD158d trigger DNA damage response signaling and p21 (CIP1/WAF1) expression to promote senescence in primary NK cells. CD158d engagement resulted in morphological alterations in cell size and shape, chromatin remodeling, and survival in the absence of proliferation, all hallmarks of senescence. Microarray analysis revealed a senescence signature of upregulated genes upon sustained activation through CD158d. The proinflammatory and proangiogenic factors secreted by these metabolically active NK cells are part of a senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that promoted tissue remodeling and angiogenesis as assessed by functional readouts of vascular permeability and endothelial cell tube formation. We propose that ligand-induced senescence is a molecular switch for the sustained activation of NK cells in response to soluble HLA-G for the purpose of remodeling the maternal vasculature in early pregnancy.

Description
The directed differentiation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) and embryonic stem (ES) cells into definitive endoderm (DE) would allow the derivation of otherwise inaccessible progenitors for endodermal tissues. However, a global comparison of the relative equivalency of DE derived from iPS and ES populations has not been performed. Recent reports of molecular differences between iPS and ES cells have raised uncertainty as to whether iPS cells could generate autologous endodermal lineages in vitro. Here, we have shown that both mouse iPS and parental ES cells exhibited highly similar in vitro capacity to undergo directed differentiation into DE progenitors. With few exceptions, both cell types displayed similar surges in gene expression of specific master transcriptional regulators and global transcriptomes that define the developmental milestones of DE differentiation. Microarray analysis showed considerable overlap between the genetic programs of DE derived from ES/iPS cells in vitro and authentic DE from mouse embryos in vivo. Intriguingly, iPS cells exhibited aberrant silencing of imprinted genes known to participate in endoderm differentiation, yet retained a robust ability to differentiate into DE. Our results show that, despite some molecular differences, iPS cells can be efficiently differentiated into DE precursors, reinforcing their potential for development of cell-based therapies for diseased endodermal-derived tissues.

Description
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) results from a dysregulated interaction between the microbiota and a genetically susceptible host. Genetic studies have linked TNFSF15 polymorphisms and its protein TNF-like ligand 1A (TL1A) with IBD, but the functional role of TL1A in linking tissue homeostasis and intestinal inflammation is not known. Here, using cell-specific genetic deletion models, we report an essential role for CX3CR1+ mononuclear phagocyte (MNP)-derived TL1A, which is induced by adherent IBD-associated microbiota, in regulating group 3 innate lymphoid cell (ILC3) production of IL-22 and mucosal healing in acute colitis. However, in contrast to this protective role in acute colitis, TL1A-dependent expression of OX40L in MHCII+ ILC3 during colitis leads to co-stimulation of antigen-specific T cells and is required for chronic T cell colitis. These results identify a new role for ILC3 in regulating intestinal T cells and reveal a central role for TL1A in regulating ILC3 barrier immunity during colitis. Overall design: RNA from media- or TL1A-stimulated sorted Lin-CD127+IL23R-GFP+ ILC3s from IL23R-GFP/WT mice
