Affymetrix Pseudomonas aeruginosa Array (paeg1a)
Description
Here we examined virulence activation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa in response to the synthetic kappa opioid agonist U-50, 488 in nutrient poor media where growth conditions are limited and density dependent quorum sensing is not activated.
Publication Title
Pseudomonas aeruginosa overrides the virulence inducing effect of opioids when it senses an abundance of phosphate.

Description
During extreme physiological stress, the intestinal tract can be transformed into a harsh environment characterized by regio- spatial alterations in oxygen, pH, and phosphate concentration. When the human intestine is exposed to extreme medical interventions, the normal flora becomes replaced by pathogenic species whose virulence can be triggered by various physico-chemical cues leading to lethal sepsis. We previously demonstrated that phosphate depletion develops in the mouse intestine following surgical injury and triggers intestinal P. aeruginosa to express a lethal phenotype that can be prevented by oral phosphate ([Pi]) supplementation.
Publication Title
Prevention of siderophore- mediated gut-derived sepsis due to P. aeruginosa can be achieved without iron provision by maintaining local phosphate abundance: role of pH.

Description
The transcription factor Evi1 is essential for the formation and maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells, and induces clonal dominance with malignant progression upon constitutive activation by chromosomal rearrangements or transgene integration events. To understand the immediate and adaptive response of primary murine hematopoietic cells to the transcriptional upregulation of Evi1, we developed an inducible lentiviral vector system with a robust expression switch. We found that Evi1 delays differentiation and promotes survival in myeloid culture conditions, orchestrating a battery of genes involved in stemness (Aldh1a1, Ly6a [Sca1], Abca1, Epcam, among others). Importantly, Evi1 suppresses Cyclins and Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk), while it upregulates Cdk inhibitors, inducing quiescence in various proliferation-inducing cytokine conditions and operating in a strictly dose-dependent manner. Hematopoietic cells with persisting Evi1-induction tend to adopt a relatively low expression level. We thus classify Evi1 as a dormancy-inducing oncogene, likely requiring epigenetic and genetic compensation for cell expansion and malignant progression.

Activation of Evi1 inhibits cell cycle progression and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Description
Thymic antigen-presenting cells (APCs), including thymic dendritic cells (t-DCs) and medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) have been described to play a critical role in thymic Treg generation. Our findings could show that both these thymic APCs can induce a more pronounced demethylation of Foxp3 and other Treg-specific epigenetic signature genes in developing Tregs when compared to splenic DCs. In order to elucidate the unique properties of thymic APCs, gene expression profiling was performed in comparison to splenic DCs. Transcriptome analysis of thymic APCs revealed differential expression of costimulatory molecules that could be involved in stable Treg generation. Importantly, both mTEC- and t-DC- induced alloantigen-specific Tregs displayed significantly higher efficacy in prolonging skin allograft acceptance when compared to alloantigen-specific Tregs generated by splenic DCs. Overall design: Thymic APCs, including mTECs and t-DCs and splenic DCs were isolated ex vivo from thymus as CD45-EpCAM+Ly51- (mTECs) and CD45+EpCAM-CD11chiLin- (t-DCs) and from spleen as CD11chiLin- (splenic DCs) (Lin is defined as CD90, CD49b, F4/80 and CD19), respectively.

Description
The samples are a part of a study aiming at diagnosing ulcerative colitis from genome-wide gene expression analysis of the colonic mucosa. Colonic mucosal samples were collected as endoscopic pinch biopsies from ulcerative colitis patients and from control subjects. Samples with and without macroscopic signs of inflammation were collected from the patients.
