Description
Identification of intrathymic Eomes+ natural Th1 cells creates a novel idea that there is more than one way for the generation of innate CD4 T cells. To more deeply characterize this type of innate T cells, we compared the gene expression profile between nTh1 cells generated in CIITAtg mice and classic Th1 cells differentiated from naive CD4 T cells in Th1-polarizing condition.

Description
TCPOBOP (1,4-Bis [2-(3,5-Dichloropyridyloxy)] benzene) is a constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) agonist that induces robust hepatocyte proliferation and hepatomegaly without any liver injury or tissue loss. TCPOBOP-induced direct hyperplasia has been considered to be CAR-dependent with no evidence of involvement of cytokines or growth factor signaling. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), MET and EGFR, are known to play a critical role in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy, but their role in TCPOBOP-induced direct hyperplasia, not yet explored, is investigated in the current study. Disruption of the RTK-mediated signaling was achieved utilizing MET KO mice along with Canertinib treatment for EGFR inhibition. Combined elimination of MET and EGFR signaling [MET KO + EGFRi], but not individual disruption, dramatically reduced TCPOBOP-induced hepatomegaly and hepatocyte proliferation. TCPOBOP-driven CAR activation was not altered in [MET KO + EGFRi] mice, as measured by nuclear CAR translocation and analysis of typical CAR target genes. However, TCPOBOP induced cell cycle activation was impaired in [MET KO + EGFRi] mice due to defective induction of cyclins, which regulate cell cycle initiation and progression. TCPOBOP-driven induction of FOXM1, a key transcriptional regulator of cell cycle progression during TCPOBOP-mediated hepatocyte proliferation, was greatly attenuated in [MET KO + EGFRi] mice. Interestingly, TCPOBOP treatment caused transient decline in HNF4 expression concomitant to proliferative response; this was not seen in [MET KO + EGFRi] mice. Transcriptomic profiling revealed vast majority (~40%) of TCPOBOP-dependent genes mainly related to proliferative response, but not to drug metabolism, were differentially expressed in [MET KO + EGFRi] mice. Conclusion: Taken together, combined disruption of EGFR and MET signaling lead to dramatic impairment of TCPOBOP-induced proliferative response without altering CAR activation.

Description
Receptor tyrosine kinases MET and EGFR are critically involved in initiation of liver regeneration. Other cytokines and signaling molecules also help in the early part of the process. Regeneration employs effective redundancy schemes to compensate for missing signals. Elimination of any single signaling pathway only delays but does not abolish the process. Our present study, however, shows that combined systemic elimination of MET and EGFR signaling abolishes liver regeneration, prevents restoration of liver mass and leads to liver decompensation. Our results demonstrate that liver function is dependent on synchronous availability of signaling from these two pathways. The study shows that MET and EGFR separately control many non-overlapping signaling endpoints, allowing for compensation when only one of the signals is blocked. The combined elimination of the signals however was not tolerated. The results provide critical new information on interactive MET and EGFR signaling and the contribution of their combined absence to regeneration arrest and liver decompensation.

Description
MET and EGFR receptor tyrosine kinases are crucial for liver regeneration and normal hepatocyte function. Recently we demonstrated that in mice, combined inhibition of these two signaling pathways abolished liver regeneration following hepatectomy, with subsequent hepatic failure and death at 15-18 days post-resection. Morbidity was associated with distinct and specific alterations in important downstream signaling pathways that led to a decrease in hepatocyte volume, reduced proliferation, and shutdown of many essential hepatocyte functions such as fatty acid synthesis, urea cycle, and mitochondrial functions. In the present study we explore the role of MET and EGFR signaling in resting mouse livers that are not subjected to hepatectomy. Mice with combined disruption of MET and EGFR signaling (Delta MET + EGFRi) were noticeably sick by 10 day and died at 12-14 days. Delta MET + EGFRi mice showed decreased liver to body weight ratios, increased apoptosis in non-parenchymal cells, impaired liver metabolic functions, and activation of distinct, downstream signaling pathways related to inflammation, cell death, and survival. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that in addition to controlling the regenerative response, MET and EGFR synergistically control baseline liver homeostasis in normal mice in such a way that their combined disruption leads to liver failure and death.

It is unknown if gene expression profiles from primary RCC tumors differ from patient-matched metastatic tumors. Thus, we sought to identify differentially expressed genes between patient-matched primary and metastatic RCC tumors in order to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of RCC metastases.

Description
Terahertz (THz) technology has emerged for biomedical applications such as scanning, molecular spectroscopy, and medical imaging. However, the biological effect of THz radiation is not fully understood. Non-thermal effects of THz radiation were investigated by applying a femtosecond-terahertz (fs-THz) pulse to mouse skin. Analysis of the genome-wide expression profile in fs-THz-irradiated skin indicated that wound responses were predominantly through NFB1- and Smad3/4-mediated transcriptional activation. Repeated fs-THz radiation delayed the closure of mouse skin punch wounds due to up-regulation of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-). These findings suggest that fs-THz radiation provokes a wound-like signal in skin with increased expression of TGF- and activation of its downstream target genes, which perturbs the wound healing process in vivo.

Description
The overall goal of this project is to investigate the role of Erk2-mediated signaling in regulating the cellular metabolism of cranial neural crest (CNC) cells during palate development. Here, we conducted gene expression profiling of palate tissue from wild type mice as well as those with a neural crest specific conditional inactivation of the Erk2 gene. The latter mice exhibit micrognathia, tongue defects and cleft palate, which is among the most common congenital birth defects and observed in many syndromic conditions.
