Description
Innate and adaptive immune cells modulate heart failure pathogenesis during viral myocarditis, yet their identity and functions remain poorly defined. In this study we characterized the phenotype, life-cycle and function of different conventional dendritic cells (cDC) populations in the heart, with focus on the 2 major subsets (CD103+ and CD11b+), which differentially rely on local proliferation and precursor recruitment to maintain tissue residency. Following viral infection of the myocardium, cDCs accumulate in the heart coincident with monocyte infiltration and loss of resident reparative embryonic-derived cardiac macrophages. cDC depletion abrogates antigen-specific CD8+ T cell proliferative expansion, transforming subclinical cardiac injury to overt heart failure. Importantly, these effects are mediated by BATF3-dependent CD103+ cDCs. Collectively, our findings definitively identify resident cardiac cDC subsets, define their origins, and implicate an essential role for CD103+ cDCs in antigen-specific T cell responses during viral myocarditis.

Description
The activation profiles of macrophages under different immune and inflammatory conditions have generated great interest. LPS, in particular, is a commonly used in vitro model of infection and inflammation studies in macrophages. We have used gene expression microarrays to define the effects of each of three variables; LPS dose, LPS vs. interferons beta and gamma, and genetic background on the transcriptional response of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages

Description
The leaf extract of T. indica had been reported to posses high phenolic content and showed high antioxidant activities. However, scientific data on the molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial properties of the leaf extract are still lacking. In this study, the effects of the leaf extract on the expression of genes in cultured HepG2 cells were investigated using microarray technology. The leaf extract significantly regulated the expression of genes involved with consequential impact on the coagulation system, cholesterol biosynthesis, xenobiotic metabolism signaling and antimicrobial response.

Description
Endogenous pancreatic multipotent progenitors (PMPs) are ideal candidates for regenerative approaches to compensate for b-cell loss since their b-cell–producing capacities as well as strategic location would eliminate unnecessary invasive manipulations. However, little is known about the status and potentials of PMPs under diabetic conditions. Here we show that b-cell metabolic stress and hyperglycemia enhance the proliferation capacities of adult PMP cells and bias their production of progeny toward b-cells in mouse and human. These effects are dynamic and correlate with functional b-cell regeneration when conditions allow. Overall design: Insulin-positive Glut2-low cell population of adult pancreatic tissue is enriched for PMP cells. Streptozocin (STZ) can enter beta-cells via Glut2 , induce cell death and consequently diabetes. Insulin-positive cells from two groups (STZ-injected experiment and vehicle-injected control, n=3/group) of MIP-GFP transgenic male mice were sorted to Glut2-low (Glut2L) and Glut2-high (Glut2H) by FACS. Total RNA from these samples were extracted for transcriptome analysis.

Description
SRSF2 is an RNA binding protein that plays important roles in splicing of mRNA precursors. Mutations in SRSF2 are frequently found in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and certain leukemias, but how they affect SRSF2 function has only begun to be examined. Here we used CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce the P95H mutation to SRSF2 in K562 leukemia cells, generating an isogenic model so that splicing alterations can be attributed solely to mutant SRSF2. We found that SRSF2 (P95H) misregulates 548 splicing events (<1% of total). Of these, 374 involve the inclusion of cassette exons, and the inclusion was either increased (206) or decreased (168). We detected a specific motif (UCCA/UG) enriched in the more included exons and a distinct motif (UGGA/UG) in the more excluded exons. RNA gel shift assays showed that a mutant SRSF2 derivative bound more tightly than its wild-type counterpart to RNA sites containing UCCAG, but less tightly to UGGAG sites. The pattern of exon inclusion or exclusion thus correlated in most cases with stronger or weaker RNA binding, respectively. We further show that the P95H mutation does not affect other functions of SRSF2, i.e., protein-protein interactions with key splicing factors. Our results thus demonstrate that the P95H mutation positively or negatively alters the binding affinity of SRSF2 for cognate RNA sites in target transcripts, leading to misregulation of exon inclusion. Our findings not only shed light on the mechanism of the disease-associated SRSF2 mutation in splicing regulation, but also reveal a group of mis-spliced mRNA isoforms for potential therapeutic targeting. Overall design: Examination of differentially spliced events in K562 CRISPR cell clones (with wild-type or mutant SRSF2) by RNA sequencing

Description
Synovial fibroblasts in persistent inflammatory arthritis have been suggested to have parallels with cancer growth and wound healing, both of which involve a stereotypical serum response program. We tested the hypothesis that a serum response program can be used to classify diseased tissues, and investigated the serum response program in fibroblasts from multiple anatomical sites and two diseases. To test our hypothesis we utilized a bioinformatics approach to explore a publicly available microarray dataset including RA, OA and normal synovial tissue, then extended those findings in a new microarray dataset representing matched synovial, bone marrow and skin fibroblasts cultured from RA and OA patients undergoing arthroplasty. The classical fibroblast serum response program discretely classified RA, OA and normal synovial tissues. Analysis of low and high serum treated fibroblast microarray data revealed a hierarchy of control, with anatomical site the most powerful classifier followed by response to serum and then disease. In contrast to skin and bone marrow fibroblasts, exposure of synovial fibroblasts to serum led to convergence of RA and OA expression profiles. Pathway analysis revealed three inter-linked gene networks characterising OA synovial fibroblasts: Cell remodelling through insulin-like growth factors, differentiation and angiogenesis through 3 integrin, and regulation of apoptosis through CD44. We have demonstrated that Fibroblast serum response signatures define disease at the tissue level, and that an OA specific, serum dependent repression of genes involved in cell adhesion, extracellular matrix remodelling and apoptosis is a critical discriminator between cultured OA and RA synovial fibroblasts.
