Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Cidofovir is an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate with strong antiviral activity against a broad spectrum of DNA viruses. Although it has previously been shown that cidofovir exerts an antiproliferative effect on HPV positive cells by the induction of apoptosis, the exact mechanism of action remains to be unraveled. In order to study the activity of cidofovir against HPV, gene expression profiling was performed in cidofovir-treated and cidofovir-resistant HeLa, HaCaT, and PHK cells by means of microarrays (HG-U133 Plus 2, Affymetrix).
Publication Title
Cidofovir selectivity is based on the different response of normal and cancer cells to DNA damage.

Description
Two populations of Nkx2-1+ progenitors in the developing foregut endoderm give rise to the entire post-natal lung and thyroid epithelium, but little is known about these cells, as they are difficult to isolate in a pure form. We demonstrate here the purification and directed differentiation of primordial lung and thyroid progenitors derived from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Inhibition of TGF and BMP signaling, followed by combinatorial stimulation of BMP and FGF signaling can specify these cells efficiently from definitive endodermal precursors. When derived using Nkx2-1GFP knock-in reporter ESCs, these progenitors can be purified for expansion in culture and have a transcriptome that overlaps with developing lung epithelium. Upon induction, they can express a broad repertoire of markers indicative of lung and thyroid lineages and can recellularize a 3D lung tissue scaffold. Thus, we have derived a pure population of progenitors able to recapitulate the developmental milestones of lung/thyroid development.

Description
Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a late-onset progressive muscle disorder caused by a poly-alanine expansion mutation in PABPN1. The hallmark of OPMD is the accumulation of the mutant protein in insoluble nuclear inclusions. The molecular mechanisms associated with disease onset and progression are unknown. We performed a high-throughput cross-species transcriptome study of affected muscles from two OPMD animal models and from patients at pre-symptomatic and symptomatic stages. The most consistently and significantly OPMD-deregulated pathway across species is the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). By analyzing expression profiles, we found that the majority of OPMD-deregulated genes are age-associated. Based on expression trends, disease onset can be separated from progression; the expression profiles of the proteasome-encoding genes are associated with onset but not with progression. In a muscle cell model, proteasome inhibition and the stimulation of immunoproteasome specifically affect the accumulation and aggregation of mutant PABPN1. We suggest that proteasome down-regulation during muscle aging triggers the accumulation of expPABPN1 that in turn enhances proteasome deregulation and leads to intranuclear inclusions (INI) formation.

Deregulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system is the predominant molecular pathology in OPMD animal models and patients.

Description
Despite the scientific and applied interest in anaerobic metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, not all genes whose transcription is up-regulated under anaerobic conditions have yet been linked to known transcription factors. Experiments with a reporter construct in which the promoter of the anaerobically up-regulated TIR1 gene was fused to LacZ revealed a complete loss of anaerobic up-regulation in a snf7 mutant. Anaerobic up-regulation was restored by expression of a truncated allele of RIM101 that encodes for a constitutively active Rim101p transcription factor. Analysis of LacZ expression in several deletion mutants confirmed that the effect of Snf7p on anaerobic up-regulation of TIR1 involved Rim101p and did not require a functional multi-vesicular body sorting pathway (in which Snf7p also participates). Transcriptome analysis in anaerobic chemostat cultures revealed that 26 additional genes exhibited a Snf7p/Rim101p dependent anaerobic up-regulation. Since, in its activated form, Rim101p is generally known as a transcriptional repressor, its role in anaerobic up regulation of TIR1 and other anaerobic yeast genes must involve additional factors. Further studies with deletion mutants in NRG1, NRG2 and SMP1, which were previously shown to be regulated by Rim101p, showed that these genes were not involved in the regulation of TIR1. However, the aerobic repression mechanism of TIR1 involved the general repressor Ssn6p-Tup1p complex. The physiological relevance of Snf7p/Rim101p-mediated transcriptional up-regulation of several genes in anaerobic yeast cultures was evident from reduced growth of a snf7 under anaerobic conditions.

Description
Trascriptional analysis of CD2 hi and CD25 lo CD4+ effector T cells during acute viral infection. SMARTA cells were transferred into B6 mice, followed by infection with LCMV. At day 5 post-infection, CD25 hi and CD25 lo SMARTA cells were isolated from the spleen by FACS. Consistent with our prior studies showing that CD25 lo early effector cells give rise to both Tfh effector cells and memory T cells, we observed gene expression in the CD25 lo population consistent with Tfh differentiation. Conversely, CD25 hi effector cells expressed markers consistent with Th1 differentiation and short-term survival. Overall design: mRNA profiles of monoclonal transgenic CD4+ T cells with divergent CD25 surface expression 5 days post LCMV infection in mice

Description
HSF1 is a major transcriptional regulator of heat shock responses. Many cells activate HSF1 in response to heat shock temperatures (>42oC) and other cellular stress causing agents. Unlike other cell types, T cells activate HSF1 in response to T cell activation or when exposed to febrile (40oC) temperatures, suggesting a role for HSF1 beyond the heat-shock response.
Publication Title
Heat shock transcription factor 1 is activated as a consequence of lymphocyte activation and regulates a major proteostasis network in T cells critical for cell division during stress.

Description
Epigenetic changes are crucial for the generation of immunological memory1-4. Failure to generate or maintain these changes will result in poor memory responses. Similarly, augmenting or stabilizing the correct epigenetic states offers a potential method of enhancing immune memory. Yet the transcription factors that regulate these processes are poorly defined, as are the chromatin modifying complexes they recruit and the chromatin modifications they control. Using pathogen infection models and three different mouse models, including a new conditional allele, we find that the widely expressed transcription factor Oct15, and its cofactor OCA-B6,7, are selectively required the in vivo generation of functional CD4 memory. In vitro, both proteins are also required to maintain a poised state at the Il2 target locus in resting but previously stimulated CD4 T cells, and to generate robust Il2 expression upon restimulation. OCA-B is also required for the robust re-expression of other known targets including Il17a, and Ifng. We identify an underlying mechanism involving OCA-B recruitment of the histone lysine demethylase Jmjd1a8 to targets such as Il2 and Ifng. The findings pinpoint Oct1 and OCA-B as unanticipated mediators of CD4 T cell memory. Overall design: Examination of 4 different conditions in 2 genotypes
Publication Title
Oct1 and OCA-B are selectively required for CD4 memory T cell function.
