View SamplesGenomic analysis of axon pruning in Drosophila mushroom body neurons identifies the RNA-binding protein Boule as a negative regulator
Genomic analysis of Drosophila neuronal remodeling: a role for the RNA-binding protein Boule as a negative regulator of axon pruning.
Age
View SamplesDrosophila mushroom body (MB) neurons undergo axon pruning during metamorphosis through a process of localized degeneration of specific axon branches. Developmental axon degeneration is initiated at the onset of metamorphosis by the pre-pupal rise in the steroid hormone ecdysone. This study identifies genes that alter their expression in MB neurons at the onset and early steps of axon pruning.

View SamplesPulmonary vascular occlusions due to thromboemboli can result in pulmonary hypertension and right heart damage. Treatments to clear the vascular obstructions such as i.v. heparain or thrombolytics can resolve the hypertension but right ventricular damage often occurs first. Methods of protecting the right ventricle from hypertensive damage during the course of acute treatment to clear the thromboemboli are needed. Monocyte- and neutrophil-mediated inflammation and fibrosis are associated with chronic right ventricular damage but the pathways involved are not understood. A comprehesive survey of gene expression during chronic pulmonary embolism verses control rats has been conducted in this study.
Transcriptional changes in right ventricular tissues are enriched in the outflow tract compared with the apex during chronic pulmonary embolism in rats.

View SamplesSkeletal muscle possesses a remarkable capacity to regenerate when injured, but when confronted with major traumatic injury resulting in volumetric muscle loss (VML), the regenerative process consistently fails. The loss of muscle tissue and function from VML injury has prompted development of a suite of therapeutic approaches but these strategies have proceeded without a comprehensive understanding of the molecular landscape that drives the injury response. Herein, we administered a VML injury in an established rodent model and monitored the evolution of the healing phenomenology over multiple time points using muscle function testing, histology, and expression profiling by RNA sequencing. The injury response was then compared to a regenerative medicine treatment using orthotopic transplantation of autologous minced muscle grafts (~1?mm3 tissue fragments). A chronic inflammatory and fibrotic response was observed at all time points following VML. These results suggest that the pathological response to VML injury during the acute stage of the healing response overwhelms endogenous and therapeutic regenerative processes. Overall, the data presented delineate key molecular characteristics of the pathobiological response to VML injury that are critical effectors of effective regenerative treatment paradigms.

View SamplesMembers of rhinovirus C (RV-C) species are more likely to cause wheezing illnesses and asthma exacerbations compared to other rhinoviruses. The cellular receptor for these viruses was heretofore unknown. We measured gene expression (Human Gene 1.0 ST Array, Affymetrix) in two series of experiments involving cells that were either susceptible or not susceptible to RV-C infection. In one experimental series, susceptible cells included whole sinus mucosal tissue specimens (n = 5), epithelial cell suspension from sinus tissue, and nasal epithelium obtained via brushing, while non-susceptible cells included monolayers of primary undifferentiated epithelial cells and transformed cell lines (n = 5). In a second experimental series, we compared three pairs of undifferentiated and fully differentiated (ALI) sinus epithelial cell cultures. We identified a total of 12 genes upregulated in RV-C susceptible cells (represented by 14 probe sets) encoding proteins localized to plasma membrane, and/or with predicted or functionally demonstrated receptor activity, including members of the Human MHC class II, stomatin, guanine nucleotide-binding, type I cytokine and atypical chemokine receptor and cadherin protein families.
