Description
Potassium is one of the essential macronutrients required for plant growth and development. It plays a major role in different physiological processes like cell elongation, stomatal movement, turgor regulation, osmotic adjustment, and signal transduction by acting as a major osmolyte and component of the ionic environment in the cytosol and subcellular organelles.

Description
Interleukin 9 (IL-9) producing helper T (Th9) cells play a crucial role in allergic inflammation, autoimmunity, immunity to extracellular pathogens and anti-tumor immune response. In addition to Th9, Th2, Th17 and Foxp3+ Treg cells produce IL-9. Transcription factor that is critical for IL-9 induction in Th2, Th9 and Th17 cells has not been identified. Here we show that Foxo1, a forkhead family transcription factor, requires for IL-9 induction in Th9 and Th17 cells. We further show that inhibition of AKT enhances IL-9 induction in Th9 cells while it reciprocally regulates IL-9 and IL-17 in Th17 cells via Foxo1. Mechanistically, Foxo1 binds and transactivates IL-9 and IRF4 promoters in Th9, Th17 and iTregs. Furthermore, loss of Foxo1 attenuates IL-9 in mouse and human Th9 and Th17 cells, and ameliorates allergic inflammation in asthma. Our findings thus identify that Foxo1 is essential for IL-9 induction in Th9 and Th17 cells. Overall design: Transcriptional analysis of Th0 and TGF-beta 1 + IL-4 induced Th9 cells

Description
Ataxin 1 (Atxn1) is a protein of unknown function associated with cerebellar neurodegeneration in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1). SCA1 is caused by an expanded polyglutamine within Atxn1 by gain-of-function mechanisms. Lack of Atxn1 in mice triggers motor deficits in the absence of neurodegeneration or apparent neuropathological abnormalities.We extracted RNA from cerebellum of 5 Atxn1-null mice and 5 WT. Cerebellar gene expression profiles at 15 weeks of age were generated usSCA1 ing Affymetrix MOE430A arrays. Identifying the molecular pathways regulated by Atxn1 can provide insights into the early molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal dysfunction.

Description
Male Wistar rats weighing 90-120 g were acclimatized for one week and fed standard laboratory chow, at which time the animals were divided into two groups. Animals were then pair-fed for 8 weeks a regular laboratory chow and water ad libitum or Lieber-DeCarli diet (36% calories from ethanol). Control animals received the iso-caloric amount of dextrose to replace ethanol. After 8 weeks of differential feeding rats were euthanized, the pancreas immediately dissected and stored at -80?C until RNA isolation. RNA expression was analyzed using Affymetrix RAE230A gene chips

Description
Background: Friedreich ataxia, an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative and cardiac disease, is caused by abnormally low levels of frataxin, an essential mitochondrial protein. All Friedreich ataxia patients carry a GAA/TTC repeat expansion in the first intron of the frataxin gene, either in the homozygous state or in compound heterozygosity with other loss-of-function mutations. The GAA expansion inhibits frataxin expression through a heterochromatin-mediated repression mechanism. Histone modifications that are characteristic of silenced genes in heterochromatic regions occur at expanded alleles in cells from Friedreich ataxia patients, including increased trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 and hypoacetylation of histones H3 and H4.

HDAC inhibitors correct frataxin deficiency in a Friedreich ataxia mouse model.

Description
Gb5 is a divergent, evolutionarily-conserved, member of the heterotrimeric G protein b subunit family that is expressed principally in brain and neuronal tissue. Among Gb isoforms, Gb5 is unique in its ability to heterodimerize with members of the R7 subfamily of the regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins that contain G protein-g like (GGL) domains. Previous studies employing Gb5 knockout mice have shown that Gb5 is an essential stabilizer of GGL domain-containing RGS proteins and regulates the deactivation of retinal phototransduction and the proper functioning of retinal bipolar cells. The purpose of this study is to better understand the functions of Gb5 in the brain outside the visual system by employing molecular biology, immunohistochemistry and confocal imaging technologies. We show here that mice lacking Gb5 have a markedly abnormal neurologic phenotype that includes neurobehavioral developmental delay, wide-based gait, motor learning and coordination deficiencies, and hyperactivity. Using immunohistochemical analysis and a green fluorescent reporter of Purkinje cell maturation we show that the phenotype of Gb5-deficient mice includes, in part, delayed development of the cerebellar cortex, an abnormality that likely contributes to the neurobehavioral phenotype. Multiple neuronally-expressed genes are dysregulated in non-cerebellar portion of Gb5 KO mice.

Description
The proinflammatory cytokine, TNFalpha is critical in maintaining liver homeostasis since it is a major determiner of hepatocyte life and death. Considering this, gene transcription profiling was examined in control and TNFalpha treated HepG2 cells. Results indicated that TNFalpha could significantly alter the expression of a significant number of genes; most of them were functionally distributed among molecular functions like catalytic activity, binding, molecular transducer activity, transporter activity, translation and transcription regulator activities or enzyme regulator activity. Also, within genes up-regulated by TNFalpha, several GO terms related to lipid and fat metabolism were significantly overrepresented indicating global dysregulation of fat metabolism within the hepatocyte and those within the down-regulated dataset included genes involved in immunoglobulin receptor activity and IgE binding thereby indicating a compromise in immune defense mechanism(s) apart from those involved the DNA binding and protein binding categories. The interacting network of lipid metabolism, small molecule biochemistry was derived to be significantly affected that correlated well with the top canonical pathway of biosynthesis of steroids and molecular and cellular function of lipid metabolism. All these indicate TNFalpha to be significantly altering the transcriptome profiling within HepG2 cells with genes involved in lipid and steroid metabolism being the most favoured. This study suitably addresses the genes that determine TNFalpha mediated alterations within the hepatocyte mainly the phenotypes of hepatic steatosis and fatty liver that are associated with several hepatic pathological states.

Description
The identification of cell types and marker genes is critical for dissecting neural development and function, but the size and complexity of the brain has hindered the comprehensive discovery of cell types. We combined single-cell RNA-seq with anatomical brain registration to create a comprehensive map of the zebrafish habenula, a conserved forebrain hub involved in pain processing and learning. Single-cell transcriptomes of ~13000 habenular cells (>4x coverage) identified 18 neuronal types and dozens of marker genes. Registration of marker genes onto a common reference atlas created a rich resource for anatomical and functional studies and enabled the mapping of active neurons onto neuronal types following aversive stimuli. Strikingly, despite brain growth and functional maturation, cell types were retained between the larval and adult habenula. This study provides a gene expression atlas to dissect habenular development and function and offers a general framework for the comprehensive characterization of other brain regions. Overall design: gng8-GFP zebrafish heads were dissected, dissociated and FAC sorted into 96 well plates. Single cell libraries were generated in batches of 384 cells using Smart-seq2. A total of 22 gng8-GFP fish were dissected in 3 batches and 384 cells were processed from each using Smart-seq2.
