Description
Chronic, low-grade adipose tissue inflammation associated with adipocyte hypertrophy is an important link in the relationship between obesity and insulin resistance. Although ubiquitin ligases are essential regulators of inflammatory processes, the role of these enzymes in metabolically driven adipose tissue inflammation is relatively unexplored. In this study, we found that the ubiquitin ligase Siah2 is a central factor in obesity-related adipose tissue inflammation. When challenged with chronic excess energy intake, Siah2-null mice become obese with enlarged adipocytes, but do not develop obesity-induced insulin resistance. Proinflammatory gene expression is substantially reduced in the Siah2-null epididymal adipose tissue of the obese Siah2KO mice.

Description
Pediatric GIST commonly harbors a disabled succinate dehydrogenase complex (SDH), which yields tumors with highly conserved genomes but characteristic epigenomic signatures. Mysteriously, nearly half of such SDH-deficient GIST, including tumors from Carney Triad patients, lack identifiable mutations in SDH component genes and genes required for complex assembly (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF, termed SDHx). Genomic sequencing coupled with DNA methylation and transcriptional profiling have exposed SDHC promoter-specific CpG island epimutation and concomitant gene silencing in the majority of SDHx-WT GIST.

Description
The OCT4 transcription factor is involved in many cellular processes, including development, reprogramming, maintaining pluripotency and differentiation. Synthetic OCT4 mRNA was recently used (in conjunction with other reprogramming factors) to generate human induced pluripotent stem cells. Here, we discovered that BAY 11-7082 (BAY11) could significantly increase the expression of OCT4 following transfection of synthetic mRNA (synRNA) into adult human skin cells. Importantly, the increased levels of OCT4 resulted in significantly increased expression of genes downstream of OCT4, including the previously identified SPP1, DUSP4 and GADD45G. We also identified a novel OCT4 downstream target gene SLC16A9 which demonstrated significantly increased expression following elevation of OCT4 levels. This small molecule-based stabilization of synthetic mRNA expression may have multiple applications for future cell-based research and therapeutics.

Description
In both beef and dairy cattle, the majority of embryo loss occurs in the first 14-16 days following insemination. During this period, the embryo is completely dependent on its maternal uterine environment for development, growth and ultimately survival, therefore an optimum uterine environment is critical to embryo survival.

Description
The Dcp2 and Nudt16 Nudix hydrolases, are mRNA decapping enzymes that preferentially modulate stability of a subset of mRNAs. Here we report Nudt3 is a third Nudix protein that possess mRNA decapping activity in cells and is a modulator of cell migration in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Genome-wide analysis of Nudt3 compromised cells identified increases in mRNAs involved in cell motility including integrin ß6, lipocalin-2 and fibronectin. The increase in mRNA levels was dependent on Nudt3 decapping activity where integrin ß6 and lipocalin-2 were modulated directly through mRNA stability, while fibronectin was indirectly controlled. Moreover, increased cell migration observed in Nudt3 depleted cells was mediated through the extracellular integrin ß6 and fibronectin protein nexus. We conclude, Nudt3 is an mRNA decapping enzyme that orchestrates expression of a subset of mRNAs to modulate cell migration and further substantiates the existence of multiple decapping enzymes functioning in distinct cellular pathways in mammals. Overall design: Stably transformed MCF-7 cell lines constitutively expressing either a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) directed against Nudt3 (Nudt3KD) or a non-targeted control shRNA (ConKD) were used, with three replicate cultures used per group (n=3).

Description
Natural killer (NK) cells induce apoptosis in infected and transformed cells and produce immunoregulatory cytokines. At this, NK cells operate in inflammatory and tumor environments low in oxygen (hypoxic) and with immunosuppressive properties. In vitro studies of NK cells are, however, commonly performed in ambient air (normoxia).

Description
Volatiles of certain rhizobacteria can cause growth inhibitory effects on plants/ Arabidopsis thaliana. How these effects are initiated and which mechanisms are enrolled is not yet understood. Obviously the plant can survive/live with the bacteria in the soil, which suggest the existance of a regulatory mechanism/network that provide the possibility for coexistance with the bacteria. To shed light on this regulatory mechanism/network we performed a microarray anlaysis of Arabidopsis thaliana co-cultivated with two different rhizobacteria strains.

Description
Caryopses of barley (Hordeum vulgare), like all other cereal seeds, are complex sink organs optimized for storage starch accumulation and embryo development. Their development from early stages after pollination to late stages of seed ripening has been studied in great detail. However, information on the caryopses diurnal adaptation to changes in light, temperature and alterations in phloem-supplied carbon and nitrogen remained unknown.
