Our previous investigation indicated that high-virulence C. gattii (C. gattii R265) tend to reside in the alveoli, whereas low-virulence C. gattii (C. gattii 5815) tend to be washed out from the alveoli and move into the central side of the respiratory system of the mice. Furthermore, C. gattii R265 and 5815 infected mice showed much lesser macrophage response than C. neoformans H99 infected mice. To elucidate the mechanism of this phenomenon from the viewpoint of genetic analysis, we performed this microarray assay.

View SamplesOur previous investigation indicated that high-virulence C. gattii (C. gattii TIMM 4097) tend to reside in the alveoli, whereas low-virulence C. gattii (C. gattii TIMM 4903) tend to be washed out from the alveoli and move into the central side of the respiratory system. To test this hypothesis, we performed microarray assay.

View SamplesMesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which have immunosuppressive and trophic abilities that are induced by inflammatory cytokines, have emerged as a promising option for cell-based therapy. The cytokine profiles vary substantially across different diseases and stages of disease progression, which has been shown to influence the curative properties of MSCs. Our knowledge about how MSCs respond systemically to cytokines is still limited. Here, we individually stimulated MSCs in vitro with IFN-?and used RNA-Seq to analyze their expression profiles.

View SamplesVAAM stands for an amino acid mixture simulating the composition of Vespa, a hornet larval saliva. We conducted a comparative study on metabolism-regulatory roles of VAAM, casein-simulating amino acid mixture (CAAM), and pure water on murine hepatic and adipose tissue transcriptomes. Mice were orally fed VAAM solution ( 0.675 g/ kg BW = 2% of food-derived amino acids = 0.38% of total food energy/ day), CAAM solution ( 0.675 g / kg BW/ day) or water under ad libitum for five days. Hepatic transcriptome comparison of VAAM, CAAM and water-treated groups revealed a VAAM-specific regulation of the metabolic pathway, i.e., the down-regulation of glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation, and up-regulation of poly unsaturated fatty acid synthesis and glycogenic amino acids utilization in TCA cycle. Similar transcriptomic analysis of white and brown adipose tissues (WAT and BAT) suggested the up-regulation of phospholipid synthesis in WAT and the negative regulation of cellular processes in BAT. Because these coordinated regulations of tissue transcriptomes implicated the presence of upstream signaling common to these tissues, we conducted Ingenuity Pathways Analysis of these transcriptomes with the results that estrogenic and glucagon signals seemed to be activated in liver and WAT as well as beta-adrenergic signaling did in the three tissues by administration of VAAM. Our data provide a clue to understanding the role of VAAM in metabolic regulation of multiple tissues.
