Description
Purpose: The goal of this study was to identify differential splicing events in the Drosophila eye during aging. Overall design: Method: RNA extracted from dissected eye tissue of flies aged 10 and 40 days post-eclosion was used to generate cDNA libraries using NuGen Ovation Drosophila RNA seq system. Samples were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq2500 next generation sequencer (three biological replicates per time point).

Description
Background: Influenza A virus (IAV) infections periodically cause substantial morbidity and mortality in the human population. In the lung, the primary targets for IAV replication are type II alveolar epithelial cells (AECII), which are increasingly recognized for their immunological potential. However, our knowledge of the role of AECII in anti-IAV immunity is incomplete and their in vivo response to infection has not been evaluated. To increase our understanding of their role in host-response to IAV-infection, we analyzed transcriptional regulation in primary AECII isolated from infected mice. Results: Microarray analyses of AECII isolated on the first three days following IAV-infection revealed extensive transcriptional regulation. A multitude of differentially expressed transcripts was identified and in comparison to whole-lung tissue revealed a strong contribution of AECII to respiratory anti-IAV responses. Type I interferon played a major role in the detected gene expression profile and functional pathway analyses showed AECII to be highly active in pathogen recognition, cell recruitment and antigen-presentation. Analysis of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) deficient mice indicated AECII to rely on the hosts expression of this innate IAV-sensor to elicit their full response. Importantly, the AECII transcriptional profiles correlated to cell recruitment and type I interferon levels detected in the lungs of infected animals. Conclusions: Ex vivo analysis of primary murine AECII proved as a powerful tool to increase our understanding of AECII biology in infection. Our analysis revealed an exceptionally strong contribution of AECII to local host defenses by integrating signals provided by surrounding cells and direct pathogen recognition.

Description
Noncommunicable chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma affect hundreds of millions of people and are associated with increasing morbidity and mortality. CRDs are multifactorial disorders and despite different etiologies they commonly manifest in pulmonary structural (airway remodeling, emphysema) and/or functional changes. In this study we used mice intrinsically developing autoimmune-mediated lung inflammation associated with lung pathology and immune imprinting partly comparable to hallmarks of CRD. The so called SPC-HAxTCR-HA transgenic mice (BALB/c genetic background), express a neo-self antigen (influenza A virus hemagglutinin, HA) on lung alveolar epithelial type II cells in the presence of HA-specific CD4+ T cells leading to the establishment of chronic lung inflammation. In order to characterize the inflammatory lung milieu of SPC-HAxTCR-HA mice in comparison to SPC-HA control mice (lacking HA-specific CD4+ T cells), we performed whole lung tissue transcriptional analyses (n = 3 / group). 378 transcripts were found to be differentially expressed in SPC-HAxTCR-HA lungs. 326 of those were up-regulated and 52 were down-regulated compared to SPC-HA control mice.

Description
Rosiglitazone (rosi) is a powerful insulin sensitizer, but serious toxicities have curtailed its widespread clinical use. Rosi functions as a high-affinity ligand for PPARg, the adipocyte-predominant nuclear receptor (NR). The classic model, involving binding of ligand to the NR on DNA, explains positive regulation of gene expression, but ligand-dependent repression is not well understood. We have now addressed this issue by studying the direct effects of rosiglitazone on gene transcription, using global run-on sequencing (GRO-seq). Rosi-induced changes in gene body transcription were pronounced after 10 minutes and correlated with steady-state mRNA levels as well as with transcription at nearby enhancers (eRNAs). Upregulated eRNAs occurred almost exclusively at PPARg binding sites, to which rosi treatment recruited the coactivator MED1. By contrast, transcriptional repression by rosi involved a loss of MED1 from eRNA sites devoid of PPARg and enriched for other TFs including AP-1 factors and C/EBPs. Thus, rosi activates and represses transcription by fundamentally different mechanisms that could inform the future development of antidiabetic drugs.

Description
To identify novel genes and adaptations induced by resveratrol preconditioning that could promote long-term cerebral ischemic tolerance. After analyzing the results, we identified only 155 differentially expressed genes among which the majority of genes consisting of 126 were downregulated and only 29 genes were upregulated. The downregulated genes clustered into biological processes involved in regulating the memebrane potential, gene expression regulation, and neurotrasmitter transport secrection. While the upregulated gene included immediate early genes and genes involved in antioxidant defense. Overall design: Mice were subject to an intraperitoneal injection of vehicle or resveratrol (10mg/kg) (n=3 per group), two weeks later their cerebral cortex was collected, RNA was extracted and then sent for sequencing
