Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array (rat2302)
Description
Puberty unmasks or accelerates nephropathies, including the nephropathy of diabetes mellitus (DM). A number of cellular systems implicated in the kidney disease of DM interweave, forming an interdependent functional web. We performed focused microarray analysis to test the hypothesis that one or more genes in the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-) signaling system would be differentially regulated in male rats depending on the age of onset of DM.

Description
Autophagy is critical for protecting HSCs from metabolic stress. Here, we used a genetic approach to inactivate autophagy in adult HSCs by deleting the Atg12 gene. We show that loss of autophagy causes accumulation of mitochondria and an oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS)-activated metabolic state, which drives accelerated myeloid differentiation likely through epigenetic deregulations rather than transcriptional changes, and impairs HSC self-renewal activity and regenerative potential.

Description
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) are involved in cachexia associated with chronic kidney disease and cancer respectively. Tumor-derived PTHrP triggers adipose tissue browning and thereby leads to wasting of fat tissue in tumor-bearing mice. Similarly, elevated in 5/6 nephrectomized mice, PTH stimulates adipose tissue browning and wasting. Mice lacking the PTH/PTHrP receptor in their fat tissue are resistant to wasting of both adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. Therefore, the PTH/PTHrP signaling in adipocytes should activate various pathways that contribute to hypermetabolism and muscle wasting.

Description
We demonstrate that transcriptomic profiling of the NER mutant ercc-1 offers better understanding of the complex phenotypes of ercc-1 deficiency in C. elegans, as it does in mammalian models. There is a transcriptomic shift in ercc-1 mutants that suggests a stochastic impairment of growth and development, with a shift towards a higher proportion of males in the population. Extensive phenotypic analyses confirm that NER deficiency in C. elegans leads to severe developmental and growth defects and a reduced replicative lifespan, although post-mitotic lifespan is not affected. Results suggest that these defects are caused by an inability to cope with randomly occurring DNA damage, which may interfere with transcription and replication.
Publication Title
DNA damage leads to progressive replicative decline but extends the life span of long-lived mutant animals.

Description
Cytokine-induced signal transduction is executed by natural biological switches, which among many others control immune related processes. To construct a biological device, that simulates cytokine signaling, we utilized nanobodies to generate synthetic cytokine receptors (SyCyR). High affinity GFP- and mCherry-nanobodies were selected and extracellularly fused to trans-membrane and intracellular domains of IL-23 cytokine receptors. Soluble homo- and heterodimeric GFP:mCherry fusion proteins served as SyCyR ligands. Heterodimeric GFP-mCherry and homodimeric GFP fusion proteins efficiently phenocopied IL-23 signal transduction, respectively, as demonstrated by STAT3-, ERK- and Akt-activation, SOCS3 expression and transcriptome profiling. Interestingly, the homodimeric GFP fusion protein induced IL-23 receptor homo-dimerization and activation of IL-23-like signal transduction

Description
The generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and the direct conversion approach provide an invaluable resource of cells for disease modeling, drug screening, and patient-specific cell-based therapy. However, while iPSCs are stable and resemble ESCs in their transcriptome, methylome and function, the vast majority of the directly converted cells represent an incomplete reprogramming state as evident by their aberrant transcriptome and transgene dependency. This raises the question of whether complete and stable nuclear reprogramming can be achieved only in pluripotent cells. Here we demonstrate the generation of stable and fully functional induced trophoblast stem cells (iTSCs) by transient expression of Gata3, Tfap2c and Eomes. Similarly to iPSCs, iTSCs underwent a complete and stable reprogramming process as assessed by transcriptome and methylome analyses and functional assays such as the formation of hemorrhagic lesion and placenta contribution. Careful examination of the conversion process indicated that the cells did not go through a transient pluripotent state. These results suggest that complete nuclear reprograming can be attained in non-pluripotent cells. Overall design: Technical duplicates of 10 samples

Description
Previous studies have reported that microglia depletion leads to impairment of synapse formation and these cells rapidly repopulate from CNS progenitors. However, the impact of microglia depletion and repopulation on the long-term state of the CNS environment has not been characterized. Here, we found by RNA-seq analysis that acute and synchronous microglia depletion results in a type 1-interferon inflammatory signature in degenerating somatosensory cortex in microglia-depleted mice. Transcriptomic and mass cytometry analysis of repopulated microglia demonstrates an interferon regulatory factor 7-driven activation state. Minocycline and anti-IFNAR1 antibody treatment attenuate the CNS type-1 interferon-driven inflammation and restore microglia homeostasis. Together, we found that acute microglia ablation induces a type-1 interferon activation state of grey matter microglia associated with acute neurodegeneration. Overall design: RNAseq analysis of brain cortical tissue from control and microglia-depleted mice.
