Description
The mucosa that lines the gastrointestinal (GI) tracts is an important portal of entry for pathogens and provides the frontline of immune defense against HIV infection. Epithelial barrier dysfunction during HIV infection has largely been attributed to the rapid and severe depletion of CD4 T cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In this study, the poential role of small non-coding microRNA (miRNA) to contribute to epithelial dysfunction was investigated in the non-human primate SIV model and microarrays were utilized to determine changes in mucosal gene expression (non-miRNA) that could be correlated to miRNA modulatiolns.

Description
Loss of organelle homeostasis is a hallmark of aging. However, it remains elusive how this occurs at transcriptional levels. Here, we report that human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) aging is associated with dysfunction of double-membrane organelles and downregulation of transcription factor ATF6. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated inactivation of ATF6 in hMSCs, not in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), resulted in premature cellular aging, characteristic of loss of endomembrane homeostasis. Comparative transcriptomic analyses in hMSCs identify 145 constitutive and 112 tunicamycin-induced ATF6-regulated genes implicated in different layers of cellular homeostasis regulation. Notably, FOS was identified as one of the constitutive ATF6 responsive genes, downregulation of which contributes to accelerated hMSC senescence. Our study identifies a novel transcriptional program related to homeostatic regulation of membrane organelles, and provides mechanistic insights into aging-associated attrition of human stem cells. Overall design: RNA Seq and ChIP-Seq

Description
b-Oxidative enzymes for fatty acid degradation (Fad) of long-chain fatty acid (LCFA), a component of lung surfactant phosphatidylcholine, are induced in vivo during lung infection in cystic fibrosis patients, which could contribute to nutrient acquisition and pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In addition, fatty acid biosynthesis (Fab) is essential for the syntheses of two virulence controlling acylated-homoserine-lactone molecules in this organism. We mapped the promoter regions of the fadBA5-operon (PA3014 and PA3013) and a fadE homologue (PA2815) involved in Fad and the fabAB-operon involved in Fab. Focusing on the transposon mutagenesis of strain PAO1 carrying the PfadBA5-lacZ fusion, we identified a regulator for the fadBA5-operon to be PsrA (PA3006). Transcriptome analysis of the DpsrA mutant indicates its importance in regulating b-oxidative enzymes, which confirms a previous proteomic study. We further showed that induction of the fadBA-operon responds to LCFA signals, and this induction requires the presence of PsrA, suggesting that PsrA binds to LCFA to derepress fadBA5. Electrophoresis mobility shift assay indicate specific binding of PsrA to the fadBA5-promoter region. This binding is disrupted by specific LCFA (C18:1D9, C16:0, and to a lesser extent C14:0), but not by the first intermediate of b-oxidation, acyl-CoA. We proposed that PsrA is a Fad-regulator that binds and responds to LCFA signals in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Description
Cancer incidence increases in the elderly, although the underlying reasons for this association are unknown. We show that B-progenitors in old mice exhibit profound signaling and metabolic defects, and that expression of BCR-ABL, NRASV12 and MYC reverses these fitness defects, leading to selection of oncogenically-initiated cells and leukemogenesis in old hematopoietic backgrounds. Aging is associated with increased inflammation in the BM microenvironment, and inducing inflammation in young mice phenocopies aging B-lymphopoiesis. Importantly, reducing inflammation in aged mice preserves the function of B-progenitors and prevents NRasV12-mediated oncogenesis. We conclude that chronic microenvironments in old age lead to reductions in the fitness of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell populations. This reduced progenitor pool fitness leads to selection for cells harboring oncogenic mutations in part due to their ability to correct aging-associated functional defects.

Description
One of the hallmarks of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cystic fibrosis (CF) infection is very high-cell-density (HCD) replication in the lung, allowing this bacterium to induce virulence controlled by HCD quorum-sensing systems. However, the nutrient sources sustaining HCD replication in this chronic infection is largely unknown. Hence, understanding the nutrient factors contributing to HCD in the CF lung will yield new insights into the 'metabolic pathogenicity' and potential treatment of CF infections caused by P. aeruginosa. Herein, we performed microarray studies of P. aeruginosa directly isolated from the CF lung to demonstrate its metabolic capability and virulence in vivo. Our in vivo microarray data, confirmed by real-time reverse-transcription-PCR, indicated P. aeruginosa expressed several genes for virulence, drug-resistance, and utilization of multiple nutrient sources (lung surfactant lipids and amino acids) contributing to HCD replication. The data also indicates deregulation of several pathways, suggesting in vivo evolution by deregulation of a large portion of the transcriptome during chronic CF infection. To our knowledge, this is the first in vivo transcriptome of P. aeruginosa in a natural CF infection, and it indicates several important aspects of pathogenesis, drug-resistance, and nutrient-utilization never before observed in vivo.

Description
Purpose: 1. Bulk-RNA-Seq was performed to identify tancytye-enriched genes. 2. scRNA-Seq was performed to profile hypothalamic cells following leptin treatment Conclusions: Leptin receptor expression in tanycytes is either absent or undetectably low, that tanycytes do not directly regulate hypothalamic leptin signaling, and that leptin regulates gene expression in diverse hypothalamic cell types through both direct and indirect mechanisms. Overall design: Methods 1 (Bulk-RNA-Seq). Flow-sorted RNA samples from Rax-EGFP BAC transgenic mice were sent to the Deep Sequencing and Microarray Core (Johns Hopkins University) for library preparation and sequencing. Briefly, polyadenylated RNA was purified from the total RNA samples using Oligo dT conjugated magnetic beads and prepared for single-end sequencing according to the Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation Kit v2 (# RS-122-2001, Illumina). The libraries were sequenced for paired-end 75 cycles using the TruSeq SBS kit on NextSeq 500 system. Filtered sequencing reads were mapped to the mouse reference genome (mm10) using TopHat. FPKM value for each gene was estimated using Cufflink. Methods 2 (scRNA-Seq). Mice brain coronal slices (aCSF- or leptin-infused) were dissociated using Act-Seq protocol and re-suspended cells were loaded into V2 10x Genomics Chromium Single Cell system, and libraries were sequenced on Illumina NextSeq with ~150 million reads per library. Sequencing results were processed 10x Genomics pipeline. Seurat V2 was used to perform downstream analysis following the standard pipeline using cells with more than 500 genes and 1000 UMI counts.
