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).
Proper splicing contributes to visual function in the aging Drosophila eye.

View SamplesIL-2 production defines precursors fated to become T Follicular Helper cells Overall design: Sorted naïve IL-2.eGFP CD4 T cells were activvated in vitro or in vivo. Total RNA was isolated from CD69+ IL-2.eGFP+ and CD69+ IL-2.eGFP– CD4 T cells 18-24 hours after activation.
Differential IL-2 expression defines developmental fates of follicular versus nonfollicular helper T cells.

View SamplesMutations in the gene encoding surfactant protein C (SFTPC) have been linked to interstitial lung disease in children and adults. Expression of the index mutation, SP-Cdeltaexon4, in transiently transfected cells and type II cells of transgenic mice resulted in misfolding of the proprotein, activation of ER stress pathways and cytotoxicity. In the current study we show that stably transfected cells adapted to chronic ER stress imposed by constitutive expression of SP-Cdeltaexon4 via an NF-kB-dependent pathway. However, infection of cells expressing SP-Cdeltaexon4 with respiratory syncytial virus resulted in significantly enhanced cytotoxicity associated with accumulation of the mutant proprotein, pronounced activation of the unfolded protein response and cell death. Adaptation to chronic ER stress imposed by misfolded SP-C was associated with increased susceptibility to viral-induced cell death. The wide variability in the age of onset of ILD in patients with SFTPC mutations may be related to exposure to an environmental insult that ultimately overwhelms the homeostatic, cytoprotective response.

View SamplesEribulin mesylate is a synthetic macrocyclic ketone analog of the marine sponge natural product halichondrin B. Eribulin is a mechanistically unique inhibitor of microtubule dynamics, leading to inhibition of microtubule growth in the absence of effects on microtubule shortening at microtubule plus ends, and formation of nonproductive tubulin aggregates. In this study, we investigated whether selective signal pathways were associated with eribulin activity compared to paclitaxel, which stabilizes microtubules, based on gene expression profiling of cell line panels of breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancer in vitro.
