Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
Cell adhesion in plants is mediated predominantly by pectins, a group of complex cell wall associated polysaccharides. An Arabidopsis mutant, friable1 (frb1), was identified through a screen of T-DNA insertion lines that exhibited defective cell adhesion. Interestingly, the frb1 plants displayed both cell and organ dissociations and also ectopic organ fusions. The FRB1 gene encodes a Golgi-localized, plant specific protein with only weak sequence similarities to known proteins (DUF246). Unlike other cell adhesion deficient mutants, frb1 mutants do not have reduced levels of adhesion related cell wall polymers, such as pectins. Instead, FRB1 affects the abundance of galactose- and arabinose-containing oligosaccharides in the Golgi. Furthermore, frb1 mutants displayed alteration in pectin methylesterification, cell wall associated extensins and xyloglucan microstructure. We propose that abnormal FRB1 action has pleiotropic consequences on wall architecture, affecting both the extensin and pectin matrices, with consequent changes to the biomechanical properties of the wall and middle lamella, thereby influencing cell-cell adhesion.

Description
We analyzed the role of the histone lysine methyltransferase Set7/9 in the differentiation of human embryonic stem (ES) cells. Human ES cell lines expressing a control short hairpin and a short hairpin against Set7/9 were established and the genome wide expression profile was compared between both cell lines at different days during differentiation. Analysis of both profiles indicates that in the absence of Set7/9 there is a delay in the silencing of self-renewal factors as well as in the induction of differentiation markers. These results indicate that Set7/9 plays an active role in the differentiation of human ES cells.

Description
Dystonia is characterized by involuntary muscle contractions. Its many forms are genetically, phenotypically and etiologically diverse and it is unknown whether their pathogenesis converges on shared pathways. Mutations in THAP1, a zinc-finger transcription factor, cause DYT6, but its neuronal targets and functions are unknown. We used RNA-Seq to assay the in vivo effect of a heterozygote Thap1C54Y or ?Exon2 allele on the gene transcription signatures in neonatal mouse striatum and cerebellum. Enriched pathways and gene ontology terms include eIF2a Signaling, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Neuron Projection Development, Axonal Guidance Signaling, and Synaptic Long Term Depression pathways, which are dysregulated in a genotype and tissue-dependent manner. Electrophysiological and neurite outgrowth assays confirmed the functional significance of those findings. Notably, several of these pathways were recently implicated in other forms of inherited dystonia, including DYT1. We conclude that dysfunction of these pathways may represent a point of convergence on the pathogenesis of unrelated forms of inherited dystonia. Overall design: We used RNA-Seq to assay the in vivo effect of a heterozygote Thap1C54Y or deltaExon2 allele on the gene transcription signatures in neonatal mouse striatum and cerebellum

Description
IL-17-producing CD8+ (Tc17)T cells are implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), thereby representing a promising target for therapy. We found that dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a first-line medication for MS upregulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) by glutathione depletion in murine Tc17 cells, which limited IL-17 and diverted Tc17 cells towards cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) signature. DMF enhanced PI3K-AKT-FOXO1-T-bet- as well as STAT5-signaling leading to restricted permissive histone state at the Il17 locus. T-bet-deficiency, inhibiting PI3K-AKT, STAT5 or histone deacetylases prevented DMF-ROS-mediated IL-17 suppression. In MS patients with stable response, DMF suppressed IL-17 production by CD8+ T-cells and triggered diversion from Tc17 towards CTL signature along with enriched ROS-, PI3K-AKT-FOXO1-signaling, demonstrating comparable regulation across species. Accordingly, in the mouse model for MS, DMF limited Tc17-encephalitogenicity. Our findings disclose DMF-ROS-AKT-driven pathway, which selectively modulates Tc17 fate to ameliorate MS, thus opening avenue to develop markers and targets for specific therapy. Overall design: Examination of DMF-induced expression changes in 3 conditions, 3 samples each: murine TC17 cells without treatment as control group, murine Tc17 cells treated with DMF and murine Tc17 cells treated with DMF and Glutathione(GSH)
