Description
Activation of telomerase often endows cancer cells, but rarely normal somatic cells, with immortality. Especially, fetal lung fibroblasts are known to be hardly immortalized by TERT overexpression. We here established an immortal non-transformed lung fibroblast cell line only by TERT transfection, as well as an immortal transformed cell line by transfection of TERT and SV40 early antigens. Comparing the expression profiles of these cell lines with those of mortal cell strains with elongated lifespan after TERT transfection, 51 genes, including 19 upregulated and 32 downregulated, were explored to be the candidates responsible for regulation of cellular proliferation of lung fibroblasts. These included the genes previously reported to be involved in cellular proliferation, transformation, or self-renewal capacity, and those highly expressed in lung tissues obtained from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or hypersensitivity pneumonitis. This set of lung fibrobrast cell lines/strains of identical genetic background with different proliferative capacity, mortal and immortal non-transformed fibroblasts may become useful model cells for research on lung fibroblast growth regulation and the candidate genes explored in this study may provide promising biomarkers or molecular targets of pulmonary fibrosis.

Description
Chloroplast-nuclear retrograde signaling is viewed as a mechanism for inter-organelle communication. Here we show the SAL1-PAP (3-phosphoadenosine 5- phosphate) retrograde pathway functions more broadly in guard cells, interacting with abscisic acid (ABA) signaling at least in part via exoribonucleases. Unexpectedly, PAP bypasses the canonical signaling components ABA Insensitive 1 (ABI1) and Open Stomata 1 (OST1) by priming an alternative pathway that restores ABA-responsive gene expression, ROS bursts, ion channel function and stomatal closure in ost1-2. This alternative pathway up-regulates lowly expressed Calcium Dependent Protein Kinases (CDPKs) which have the capacity to activate the key slow anion channel SLAC1 in response to ABA-mediated and ost1-2 independent calcium release. The role of PAP in priming an alternative pathway to bypass components previously considered essential for stomatal closure demonstrates how a chloroplast signal can have broader roles as a secondary messenger to directly intersect with and tune hormone signaling.

Description
Utilizing C. elegans as a model of mitochondrial dysfunction provides insight into cellular adaptations which occur as a consequence of genetic alterations causative of human disease. We characterized genome-wide expression profiles of hypomorhpic C. elegans mutants in nuclear-encoded subunits of respiratory chain complexes I, II and III.

Description
Deregulated retinal angiogenesis directly cause vision loss in many ocular diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity. To identify endothelial-specific genes expressed in angiogenic retinal vessels, we purified genetically labeled endothelial cells from Tie2-GFP transgenic mice and performed gene expression profiling using DNA microarray. To find out genes associated with angiogenesis, comparisons of microarray data were carried out between GFP-negative non-endothelial retinal cells and GFP-positive retinal endothelial cells in angiogenic P8 retina.
