Affymetrix Murine Genome U74A Version 2 Array (mgu74av2)
Description
The aim of this study is to identify genes implicated in the early steps of the autoimmune process, prior to inflammation in type 1 diabetes. Early Insulin AutoAntibodies (E-IAA) have been used as subphenotypic marker to select individual animals as type 1 diabetes prone and to compare gene expression patterns with insulin autoantibody negative NOD.

Description
In mammals, resident dermal macrophages (Ms) are subverted by Leishmania (L.) amazonensis amastigotes as host cells permissive for parasite multiplication. These Leishmania are living within a communal parasitophorous vacuole (PV) and are expected to trigger unique M transcriptional signatures. We performed a transcription profiling of mouse Ms harboring amastigotes to get insights into their reprogramming as host cells for parasite multiplication. BALB/c mouse bone marrow-derived Ms were either loaded or not with four amastigotes on average. Twenty four hours later, when amastigotes multiply, total RNA from M cultures was prepared, amplified and hybridized onto Affymetrix Mouse430_2 GeneChips. The outcome recorded a total of 1,248 probe-sets showing significant differential expression. Comparable fold-change values for a handful of genes were obtained between Affymetrix technology and the more sensitive RTqPCR method. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software pinpointed the up-regulation of the sterol biosynthesis pathway (P-value = 1.31e-02) involving several genes (1.95 to 4.30 fold-change values), and the modulation of various genes involved in polyamine synthesis and in pro/counter-inflammatory signaling. Our findings suggest that amastigotes exploit the M lipid and polyamine pathways to multiply efficiently, and induce a counter-inflammatory environment to expand their dermis niche.

Xbp1 is a major transcription factor in the unfolded protein response. To uncover its function in DCs we generated a conditional KO for Xbp1 in dendritic cells. We here compare the expression of mRNAs in two different splenic DC subpopulations, CD8a and CD11b DCs in both WT and KO mice.

Description
Defining the aging-cancer relationship is a challenging task. Mice deficient in Zmpste24, a metalloproteinase mutated in human progeria and involved in nuclear prelamin A maturation, recapitulate many features of aging. However, their short lifespan and cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic alterations restrict the application and interpretation of carcinogenesis protocols. To circumvent these limitations we have generated Zmpste24 mosaic mice. Interestingly, these mice develop normally - revealing cell-extrinsic mechanisms are preeminent in progeria- and display decreased incidence of infiltrating oral carcinomas. Moreover, ZMPSTE24 knock-down reduces human cancer cell invasiveness. Our results disclose the ZMPSTE24-prelamin A system as an example of antagonistic pleiotropy on cancer and aging, support the potential of cell-based and systemic therapies for progeria, and highlight ZMPSTE24 as a new anticancer target.

Abstract: Drought is the primary cause of global agricultural losses and represents a major threat to worldwide food security. Currently, plant biotechnology stands out as the most promising strategy to increase crop growth in rain-fed conditions. The main mechanisms underlying drought resistance have been uncovered by studies of plant physiology and by engineering crops with drought-resistant genes. However, plants with enhanced drought resistance usually display lower levels of growth, highlighting the need to search for novel strategies capable of uncoupling drought resistance from growth. Here, we show that the brassinosteroid family of receptors, in addition to promoting growth, guides phenotypic adaptation to a great variety of drought stress traits analyzed herein. Whilst mutations in the ubiquitously localized BRI1 receptor pathway show an enhanced drought resistance at the expense of plant growth, we found that vascular-enriched BRL3 receptors confer drought tolerance without penalizing overall growth. Systematic analyses reveal that upon drought stress the BRL3 receptor pathway triggers the synthesis and mobilization of osmoprotectant metabolites, mainly proline and sugars. This preferentially occurs in the vascular tissues of the roots and favors overall plant growth. Altogether, our results uncover a new role for the spatial control of BR signaling in drought tolerance, and offer a novel strategy to address food security issues in an increasingly water-limited climate. Overall design: 28 days old root system were collected from soil, quickly washed in water and flash-frozen. Experiment with a bifactorial design. Factor one is the genotype, which include WT (Col-0) and 35S:BRL3. Factor two is the condition, which include control (Properly watered) and 5 days of drought (water-hold) conditions. 3 Biological replicates were collected per each genotype and condition.

Description
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is caused by a point mutation in the LMNA gene that activates a cryptic donor splice site and yields a truncated form of prelamin A called progerin. Small amounts of progerin are also produced during normal aging. Studies with mouse models of HGPS have allowed the recent development of the first therapeutic approaches for this disease. However, none of these earlier works have addressed the aberrant and pathogenic LMNA splicing observed in HGPS patients because of the lack of an appropriate mouse model. We report herein a genetically modified mouse strain that carries the HGPS mutation. These mice accumulate progerin, present histological and transcriptional alterations characteristic of progeroid models, and phenocopy the main clinical manifestations of human HGPS, including shortened life span and bone and cardiovascular aberrations. By using this animal model, we have developed an antisense morpholinobased therapy that prevents the pathogenic Lmna splicing, dramatically reducing the accumulation of progerin and its associated nuclear defects. Treatment of mutant mice with these morpholinos led to a marked amelioration of their progeroid phenotype and substantially extended their life span, supporting the effectiveness of antisense oligonucleotidebased therapies for treating human diseases of accelerated aging.
