Description
Despite accepted health benefits of dietary fiber, little is known about the mechanisms by which fiber deprivation impacts the gut microbiota and alters disease risk. Using a gnotobiotic model, in which mice were colonized with a synthetic human gut microbiota, we elucidated the functional interactions between dietary fiber, the gut microbiota and the colonic mucus barrier, which serves as a primary defence against pathogens. We show that during chronic or intermittent dietary fiber deficiency, the gut microbiota resorts to host-secreted mucus glycoproteins as a nutrient source, leading to erosion of the colonic mucus barrier. Dietary fiber deprivation promoted greater epithelial access and lethal colitis by the mucosal pathogen, Citrobacter rodentium, but only in the presence of a fiber-deprived microbiota that is pushed to degrade the mucus layer. Our work reveals intricate pathways linking diet, gut microbiome and intestinal barrier dysfunction, which could be exploited to improve health using dietary therapeutics.

Description
ß1-integrin is the major ß-integrin subunit expressed in both lens epithelial and fiber cells. Our previous research indicated that ß1-integrin is essential for the maintenance of lens epithelial integrity and survival in late embryonic lens development (Simirskii et al, 2009). Lack of ß1-integrin in the lens will lead to severe micropthalmia and lack of lens in adult mice. In order to study the mechanisms involved, high throughput RNA sequencing (RNAseq) was performed to determine the genes that are differentially expressed between E15.5 wild type (WT) lenses and lenses that lack ß1-integrin expression due to the action of MLR10 CRE (ß1-cKO). The methodology used here is similar to the other RNAseq experiments that were previously performed in our lab (Manthey et al., 2014a and Audette et al, 2015) (Geo accession: GSE 49949 and GSE69940) . Meanwhile, the filtering criteria and processing procedures were also published (Manthey et al., 2014b). Compared to WT, 120 genes were found to be differentially expressed in ß1-cKO lenses. Moreover, bioinformatics tools (DAVID (the database for Annotation, Visulization and Integrated Discovery), and PANTHER (Protein Analysis through Evolutionary Relationship) classification system) as well as manual literature searching was applied for further data analysis. It showed that genes involved in EMT and stress-responses were differentially expressed in ß1-cKO compared to that of WT. Description of filtering criteria: To identify the differentially expressed genes, pair-wise qCML method exact tests with a Benjamini Hochberg false discovery rate correction greater than the threshold of P<0.05 was applied, which identified 5120 genes. As previously described (Manthey et al., 2014b), most of the genes differentially expressed between inbred C57Bl/6 <har> and mice with a mixed background were below a threshold of 2.5 fold change. Therefore, all differentially expressed genes with a less than 2.5 fold change were filtered out. Further, genes whose expression level were not high enough to be biologically significant were also filtered out, based on the RPMK (Reads per Kilobase per million reads) value. Any gene in the final list has RPKM greater that 2 in either WT or ß1-cKO samples, a value that corresponds to approximately 1 mRNA molecule per cell. By applying a combination of these filtering criteria, 120 differentially expressed genes were found, which could potentially elucidate the molecular connections between conditional deletion of ß1-intergrin from the lens and the observed phenotypic abnormalities.

Description
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. The current standard therapy for chronic hepatitis C (CHC) consists of a combination of pegylated IFN alpha (pegIFN-alpha) and ribavirin. It achieves a sustained viral clearance in only 5060% of patients. To learn more about molecular mechanisms underlying treatment failure, we investigated IFN-induced signaling in paired liver biopsies collected from CHC patients before and after administration of pegIFN-alpha. In patients with a rapid virological response to treatment, pegIFN-alpha induced a strong up-regulation of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). As shown previously, nonresponders had high expression levels of ISGs before therapy. Analysis of posttreatment biopsies of these patients revealed that pegIFN-alpha did not induce expression of ISGs above the pretreatment levels. In accordance with ISG expression data, phosphorylation, DNA binding, and nuclear localization of STAT1 indicated that the IFN signaling pathway in nonresponsive patients is preactivated and refractory to further stimulation. Some features characteristic of nonresponders were more accentuated in patients infected with HCV genotypes 1 and 4 compared with genotypes 2 and 3, providing a possible explanation for the poor response of the former group to therapy. Taken together with previous findings, our data support the concept that activation of the endogenous IFN system in CHC not only is ineffective in clearing the infection but also may impede the response to therapy, most likely by inducing a refractory state of the IFN signaling pathway.
