View SamplesIn a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer disease (AD), cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the -secretase ADAM10 prevented amyloid plaque formation and alleviated cognitive deficits. Furthermore, there was a positive influence of ADAM10 over-expression on neurotransmitter-specific formation of synapses and on synaptic plasticity.

View SamplesObjective: Homozygous loss-of-function mutations in the gene coding for the homeobox transcription factor (TF) PDX1 leads to pancreatic agenesis, whereas heterozygous mutations can cause Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young 4 (MODY4). Although the function of Pdx1 is well studied in pre-clinical models during insulin-producing -cell development and homeostasis, it remains elusive how this TF controls human pancreas development by regulating a downstream transcriptional program. Furthermore, many studies reported the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and T2DM and it has been shown that islet enhancers are enriched in T2DM-associated SNPs. Whether regions, harboring T2DM-associated SNPs are PDX1 bound and active at the pancreatic progenitor stage has not been reported so far.

View SamplesPancreas organogenesis is a highly dynamic process where neighbouring tissue interactions lead to dynamic changes in gene regulatory networks that orchestrates endocrine, exocrine and ductal lineage formation. To understand the spatio-temporal regulatory logic we have used the Forkhead transcription factor Foxa2-Venus fusion (FVF) knock-in reporter mouse to separate the FVF+ pancreatic epithelium from the FVF- surrounding mesenchyme and blood vessels to perform a whole genome-wide mRNA expression profiling at embryonic day (E)12.5-15.5. This allowed us to annotate genes and molecular processes differentially regulated in these cell types and compartments of the pancreas to generate a dynamic transcriptional landscape.

View SamplesLMP2A of Epstein-Barr virus is a receptor that mimics an activated B cell receptor, BCR. K1 and K15, related receptors of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus, KSHV, are expressed in virus-associated tumors but their functions are less obvious. We addressed this uncertainty with mutant EBVs encoding the KSHV genes K1 or K15 in lieu of LMP2A and infected primary human B cells with them. K1 and K15 encoded proteins appear to have noncomplementing redundant functions in this model but our findings suggest that both KSHV proteins can replace LMP2As key activities contributing to the survival, activation and proliferation of B cells.

View SamplesHuman and mouse blood each contain two monocyte subsets. Here, we investigated the extent of their similarity using a microarray approach. Approximately 300 genes in human and 550 genes in mouse were differentially expressed between subsets. More than 130 of these gene expression differences were conserved between mouse and human monocyte subsets. We confirmed numerous differences at the cell surface protein level. Despite overall conservation, some molecules were conversely expressed between the two species subsets, including CD36, CD9, and TREM-1. Furthermore, other differences existed, including a prominent PPAR signature in mouse monocytes absent in human. Overall, human and mouse monocyte subsets are far more broadly conserved than currently recognized. Thus, studies in mice may indeed yield relevant information regarding the biology of human monocyte subsets. However, differences between the species deserve consideration in models of human disease studied in the mouse.
