Description
Intravesical BCG Immunotherapy is the standard of care in treating non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, yet its mechanism of action remains elusive. Both innate and adaptive immune responses have been implicated in BCG activity. While prior research has indirectly demonstrated the importance of T cells and shown a rise in CD4+ T cells in bladder tissue after BCG, T cell subpopulations have not been fully characterized. We investigated the relationship between effector and regulatory T cells in an immune competent, clinically relevant rodent model of bladder cancer. Our data demonstrate that cancer progression in the MNU rat model of bladder cancer is characterized by a decline in the CD8/FoxP3 ratio, consistent with decreased adaptive immunity. By contrast, treatment with intravesical BCG leads to a large, transient rise in the CD4+ T cell population in the urothelium, and is both more effective and immunogenic compared to intravesical chemotherapy. Interestingly, whole transcriptome expression profiling of post-treatment intravesical CD4+ and CD8+ T cells revealed minimal differences in gene expression after BCG treatment. Together, our results suggest that while BCG induces T cell recruitment to the bladder, the T cell phenotype does not markedly change, implying that combining T cell activating agents with BCG might improve clinical activity.

- Affymetrix Rice Genome Array (rice)
Description
Senescence is a developmental process and chlorophyll is an indicator of leaf senescene. In plants cytokinin plays a role in delaying leaf senescence. Chlorophyll degradation is tightly regulated during senescence and cytokinin might interplay in the chrorophyll degradation pathway to regulate leaf greening.
Publication Title
Cytokinin delays dark-induced senescence in rice by maintaining the chlorophyll cycle and photosynthetic complexes.

Description
Homeostatic programs maintain equilibrium between immune protection, and selftolerance. Such mechanisms impact autoimmunity and tumor formation, respectively. How tissue homeostasis is maintained, and impacts tumor surveillance is unknown. Here we identify that mononuclear phagocytes share conserved programming during homeostatic differentiation, and entry into tissue. IFN is necessary and sufficient to induce these transcripts, revealing a key instructive role. Remarkably, homeostatic and IFN-dependent programs enrich across primary human tumors, including melanoma, and stratify metastatic melanoma survival. Single-cell RNA-sequencing reveals enrichment of these modules in monocytes and DCs in human metastatic melanoma. Suppressor-of-cytokine-2 (SOCS2), a highly conserved transcript in this program is induced by IFN, and expressed in mononuclear phagocytes infiltrating primary melanoma. SOCS2 limits DC adaptive anti-tumoral immunity and T cell priming in vivo, indicating a critical regulatory role. Our findings link homeostasis in peripheral tissue to anti-tumoral immunity and escape, revealing coopting of tissue-specific immune development in the tumor microenvironment.

Description
Signalling via the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) controls the survival, differentiation and proliferation of macrophages which are a source of the somatic growth factor insulin growth factor 1 (IGF1). Treatment of newborn mice with CSF1 has previously been shown to produce an increase in somatic growth rate and we hypothesised that treatment of neonatal low birth weight (LBW) rats with CSF1 would do the same. Growth rates were not affected, yet CSF1 treatment caused an unexpectedly large, but reversible increase in liver size and hepatic fat deposition in both normal and LBW rats. By transcriptional profiling, we have highlighted numerous CSF1-regulated genes known to be involved in lipid droplet formation in the liver and novel candidate genes for further investigation. In contrast to mice and weaner pigs, CSF1 treatment did not increase hepatocyte proliferation in neonatal rats, rather the data were consistent with increased macrophage proliferation instead. This suggests that Kupffer cells promote lipid accumulation in neonates and treatment to ablate CSF1R signalling may reverse lipid accumulation in the liver.

Description
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant modification on mRNA, and is implicated in critical roles in development, physiology and disease. A major challenge in the field has been the inability to quantify m6A stoichiometry and the lack of antibody-independent methodologies for interrogating m6A. Here, we develop MASTER-seq for systematic quantitative profiling of m6A at single nucleotide resolution, building on differential cleavage by an RNAse at methylated sites. MASTER-seq permitted validation and de novo discovery of m6A sites, calibration of the performance of antibody based approaches, and quantitative tracking of m6A dynamics in yeast gametogenesis and mammalian differentiation. We discover that m6A stoichiometry is 'hard-coded' in cis via a simple and predictable code. This code accounts for ~50% of the variability in methylation levels and allows accurate prediction of m6A loss/acquisition events across evolution. MASTER-seq will allow quantitative investigation of m6A regulation in diverse cell types and disease states. Overall design: 10 samples were analyzed: EBS WT and Metll3 -/- with two replicates each and ESC WT and Mettld -/- with three replicates
