Description
During T cell development, multipotent progenitors relinquish competence for other fates and commit to the T cell lineage by turning on Bcl11b, which encodes a transcription factor. To clarify lineage commitment mechanisms, we followed developing T cells at the single-cell level using Bcl11b knock-in fluorescent reporter mice. Notch signaling and Notch activated transcription factors collaborate to activate Bcl11b expression irrespectively of Notch-dependent proliferation. These inputs work via three distinct, asynchronous mechanisms: an early locus ‘poising’ function dependent on TCF-1 and GATA-3, a stochastic-permissivity function dependent on Notch signaling, and a separate amplitude-control function dependent on Runx1, a factor already present in multipotent progenitors. Despite their necessity for Bcl11b activation, these inputs act in a stage specific manner, providing a multitiered mechanism for developmental gene regulation. Overall design: Two sets of samples were generated from DN T-cell sub-populations derived from culture of bone marrow progenitors from mice containing a knock-in Bcl11b-YFP reporter

Description
Macrophages polarize to divergent functional phenotypes depending on their microenvironment in a highly coordinated process of metabolic and transcriptional rewiring that is still poorly understood. We developed an Integrated Metabolomics and Gene Expression (IMAGE) profiling and analysis pipeline and applied it to extensively characterize global metabolic programs of macrophage polarization. IMAGE analysis identified 7 major (novel and known) regulatory modules responsible for metabolic rewiring during polarization, which we validated through extensive carbon and nitrogen labeling experiments. M1-specific modules included: inflammatory variant of the aspartate-arginosuccinate shunt; TCA cycle break at Idh expression accompanied by citrate accumulation and production of itaconate and fatty acid synthesis. In M2 macrophages we discovered significant role of glutamine in polarization, providing nitrogen for UDP-GlcNAc synthesis. Consistently, glutamine deprivation results in significant M2-specific defect in polarization. Our data provide, for the first time, a global view of the integrated transcriptional and metabolic changes that result in M1 and M2 polarization. Overall design: Bone-marrow derived macrophages were generated from C57BL/6 mice were plated at ~100k cells per well in 96-well plate and stimulated with either Il4 or combination of LPS&IFNg or left unstimulated for 24 h mRNA was derived from lysates using Invitrogen oligo-dT beads

Description
Recently a new neonatal diabetes syndrome, Mitchell-Riley syndrome, was discovered. To identify the genetic cause of the syndrome homozygosity mapping was used, several chromosomal regions were linked to Mitchell-Riley syndrome. In situ hybridization of genes from one such region using model organism Xenopus laevis identified RFX6 as a potential candidate gene; mutant forms of RFX6 were subsequently found in Mitchell-Riley patients. Analysis of the expression pattern of RFX6 in Xenopus development shows it is expressed broadly in the endoderm early in development, and later RFX6 becomes restricted to the endocrine cells of the gut and pancreas. Morpholino knockdown of RFX6 in Xenopus caused a loss of pancreas marker gene expression. Injection of exogenous wild type RFX6 rescued the morpholino phenotype in Xenopus tadpoles. Attempts to rescue the loss-of-function phenotype using mutant forms of RFX6 found in Mitchell-Riley patients were unsuccessful suggesting the changes lead to loss-of-function and could be the cause of Mitchell-Riley syndrome. Microarray analysis of gene expression in knockdown tissue suggested a downregulation in marker genes for lung, stomach and heart, ambiguous results for the liver, and an upregulation in kidney marker gene expression. RT-PCR and in situ hybridization confirms a loss of lung, stomach and heart gene expression, no change in liver marker hex and an upregulation in kidney marker KcnJ1. The fact that the morpholino phenotype affects multiple organs suggests that RFX6 has a broad role early in endoderm development.

Description
Systemic administration of -adrenoceptor (-AR) agonists has been found to induce skeletal muscle hypertrophy and significant metabolic changes. In the context of energy homeostasis, the importance of -AR signaling has been highlighted by the inability of 13-AR-deficient mice to regulate energy expenditure and susceptibility to diet induced obesity. However, the molecular pathways and gene expression changes that initiate and maintain these phenotypic modulations are poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify differential changes in gene expression in murine skeletal muscle associated with systemic acute administration of the 2-AR agonist formoterol. Skeletal muscle gene expression (from murine tibialis anterior) was profiled at both 1 and 4 hours following systemic administration of the 2-AR agonist formoterol, using 46K Illumina(R) Sentrix BeadArrays. Illumina expression profiling revealed significant expression changes in genes associated with skeletal muscle hypertrophy, myoblast differentiation, metabolism, circadian rhythm, transcription, histones, and oxidative stress.

Description
Survival of insects on a substrate containing toxic substances such as plant secondary metabolites or insecticides is dependent on the metabolism or excretion of those xenobiotics. The primary sites of xenobiotic metabolism are the midgut, Malpighian tubules and fat body. In general, these organs are treated as single tissues by online databases, but several studies have shown that gene expression within subsections of the midgut is compartmentalized. In this article, RNA sequencing analysis was used to investigate whole-genome expression in subsections of the third-instar larval midgut. The results support functional diversification in subsections of the midgut. Analysis of the expression of gene families that are implicated in the metabolism of xenobiotics suggests that metabolism may not be uniform along the midgut. These data provide a starting point for investigating gene expression and xenobiotic metabolism in the larval midgut. Overall design: Examination of expression in eight samples corresponding to compartments of gene expression in the midgut

Description
Epimorphic regeneration is the process by which complete regeneration of a complex structure such as a limb occurs through production of a proliferating blastema. This type of regeneration is rare among vertebrates but does occur in the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis, traditionally a model organism for the study of early development. Xenopus tadpoles can regenerate tails, limb buds and the lens of the eye, although the ability of the latter two organs to regenerate diminishes with advancing developmental stage. Using a heat shock inducible transgene that remains silent unless activated, we have established a stable line of transgenic Xenopus in which the BMP inhibitor Noggin can be over-expressed at any time during development. We have previously shown that activation of this transgene blocks regeneration of the tail and limb of Xenopus tadpoles. In the current study, we have taken advantage of this transgenic line to directly compare gene expression in same stage regenerating vs. non-regenerating hind limb buds. Using Affymetrix gene chip analysis, we have identified genes whose expression levels are linked to regenerative success. These include the BMP inhibitor Gremlin and the stress protein Hsp60 (no blastema in zebrafish). Analysis of overrepresented Gene Ontology functional groupings suggests that successful regeneration in the Xenopus hind limb depends on induction of stress response pathways. Furthermore, as expected, genes involved in embryonic development and growth are also significantly over-represented in regenerating early hind limb buds.

Description
Our earlier study demonstrated that when CFSE-labeled LCMV-or Pichinde virus-immune spleen leukocytes were transferred into T cell-deficient hosts, the bona fide virus-specific memory cells underwent relatively limited cell division and were substantially diluted in frequency by other more extensively proliferating cells originating from that donor cell population. We questioned how the slowly dividing population, which contained bona fide memory cells, differed from the rapidly dividing cells, which contained memory-like cells. As a preliminary screen we performed a comparative genome-wide microarray analysis of genes expressed on sorted rapidly proliferating (CFSE-low) and slowly proliferating (CFSE-high) CD8 cell populations
