Analyses of a Mutant Foxp3 Allele Reveal BATF as a Critical Transcription Factor in the Differentiation and Accumulation of Tissue Regulatory T Cells.

View SamplesFoxP3 is a central regulator of immunological tolerance, controlling the development and function of regulatory T (Treg) cells. To dissect the complex processes orchestrated by FoxP3, we investigated impacts of three autoimmune disease-associated missense FoxP3 mutations (i.e., I363V, A384T, R397W) through knock-in mutagenesis in mice.

View SamplesFoxP3 is a central regulator of immunological tolerance, controlling the development and function of regulatory T (Treg) cells. To dissect the complex processes orchestrated by FoxP3, we investigated impacts of three autoimmune disease-associated missense FoxP3 mutations in mice. The I363V and R397W mutations were loss-of-function mutations, causing multi-organ inflammation by globally compromising Treg cell physiology. By contrast, the A384T mutation induced a distinctive tissue-restricted inflammation by specifically impairing the ability of Treg cells to compete with pathogenic T cells in certain non-lymphoid tissues.

View SamplesIn current study, we performed 12-weeks time-course mRNA expression analysis on the biological sextuplicate samples of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive MCF-7 breast cancer cells in presence or absence of tamoxifen to capture cellular state changes associated with acquisition of tamoxifen resistance. mRNA (1 mg) obtained from the MCF-7 cells was used for Poly A+ mRNA-sequence using the Illumina TruSeq RNA Library Prep Kit v2 according to the manufacturer protocol. 100 base pair-end reads or 36 base single-end-reads were obtained using Hiseq2500 (Illumina) and analyzed by analysis software provided by Illumina. To ensure the validity of the experiment, expression of representative genes (such as EGFR, ErbB2 (HER2), IGF-IR, NCOA3 (AIB1), MYC, CCND1 (cyclin D1) and CCNE1) known for tamoxifen resistance in vitro and clinical setting (Musgrove 2009) were confirmed.

View SamplesOne of the central issues in evolutionary developmental biology is how we can formulate the relationships between evolutionary and developmental processes. Two major models have been proposed: the 'funnel-like' model, in which the earliest embryo shows the most conserved morphological pattern, followed by diversifying later stages, and the 'hourglass' model, in which constraints are imposed to conserve organogenesis stages, which is called the phylotypic period. Here we perform a quantitative comparative transcriptome analysis of several model vertebrate embryos and show that the pharyngula stage is most conserved, whereas earlier and later stages are rather divergent. These results allow us to predict approximate developmental timetables between different species, and indicate that pharyngula embryos have the most conserved gene expression profiles, which may be the source of the basic body plan of vertebrates.

View SamplesA major role of yolk sac endoderm is the uptake of lipids and other constituents from the yolk and transfer of these components into the embryonic circulation. The molecular basis of the initial step of this regionalization has largely remained unclear. Using chick as a model system, we generated high-quality transcriptomic datasets of different stages of the yolksac endoderm and analyzed their molecular heterogeneity.
