Description
Heart failure (HF) is a major health and economic burden in developed countries. It has been proposed that the pathogenesis of HF may involve the action of mitochondria. Here we evaluate three different models of HF: tachycardiomyopathy, HF with preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, and LV myocardial ischemia and hypertrophy. Regardless of whether LVEF is preserved or reduced, our results indicate that the three models share common molecular features: an increase in mitochondrial ROS, followed by ultrastructural alterations in the mitochondrial cristae and loss of mitochondrial integrity that lead to cardiomyocyte death. We show that the ablation of the mitochondrial protease OMA1 averts cardiomyocyte death in all three experimental HF models, and thus, plays a direct role in cardiomyocyte protection. This finding identifies OMA1 as a potential target for preventing the progression of myocardial damage in HF associated to a variety of etiologies. Overall design: Transcriptome analysis of 12-week-old wild type mice versus OMA1 KO mice under control (non-treated) or treated with Isoproterenol chronically (implanted minipumps) for 7 days in heart tissue. The nuclear genetic background for both genotypes is C57BL/6JOlaHsd.

Description
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) or scleroderma is a chronic multiorgan autoimmune disease of unknown etiology characterized by vascular, immunological and fibrotic abnormalities. Several lines of evidence have shown that the endocannabinoid system (ECS) may play a role in the pathophysiology of SSc. VCE-004.8, a CBD aminoquinone derivative, is a dual PPAR?/CB2 that alleviates bleomycin (BLM)-induced skin fibrosis. Herein we report that EHP-101, an oral lipidic formulation of VCE-004.8, prevents skin and lung fibrosis and collagen accumulation in BLM challenged mice. Immunohistochemistry analysis of the skin demonstrate that EHP-101 prevents macrophage infiltration, and the expression of Tenascin C (TNC), VCAM, and the a-smooth muscle actin (SMA). In addition, a reduced expression of vascular CD31, paralleling skin fibrosis, was also prevented by EHP-101. RNAseq analysis in skin biopsies showed a clear effect of EHP-101 in the inflammatory and epithelial-mesenchymal transition transcriptomic signatures. TGF-beta regulated genes such as matrix metalloproteinase-3 (Mmp3), cytochrome b-245 heavy chain (Cybb), lymphocyte antigen 6E (Ly6e), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (Vcam1) and the Integrin alpha-5 (Itga5) were induced in BLM mice and repressed by EHP-101 treatment. We also intersected differentially expressed genes in EHP-101-treated mice with dataset of human scleroderma intrinsic genes and found 53 overlapped genes, including the C-C motif chemokine 2 (Ccl2) and the interleukin 13 receptor subunit alpha 1 (IL-13Ra1) genes, which have been studied as biomarkers of SSc. Altogether the results indicate that this synthetic cannabinoid qualifies as a novel compound for the management and possible treatment of scleroderma and, potentially, other fibrotic diseases. Overall design: RNA-Seq profiles were generated for six- to eight-week-old female BALB/c mice in three conditions: Control, Bleomycin and Bleomycin + EHP-101 treatment (N=2).

Description
Our study aims to analyze time-dependent changes in neutrophil phenotype, compare them with included neutrophil-specific mutants, and indentify common signatures among the 5 groups Overall design: Blood neutrophils from wild-type and mutants were isolated based on Ly6G staining, then standard RNA extraction procedures were performed. Wild-type samples were extracted at ZT5 and ZT13, all other samples at ZT5.

We profiled total mRNA of pancreas and kidney tissues of 3 different strains (p53-null; In4a/Arf-null and WT) of reprogrammable mouse lines (they all express OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, C-MYC under the control of a tetracycline promoter, activated by doxycycline) Overall design: 5 mice of each genotype were treated with doxycycline to induce the expression of the reprogramming factors, they were sacrificed and total mRNA was extracted from pancreas and kidney tissues (we mapped >24M reads per sample)

Description
Senescence is a cellular phenotype present in health and disease, characterized by a stable cell cycle arrest and an inflammatory response, denominated senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The SASP is important in influencing the behaviour of neighbouring cells and altering the microenvironment; yet, this role has been mainly attributed to soluble factors. Here, we show that both the soluble factors in addition to small extracellular vesicles (sEV) are capable of transmitting paracrine senescence to nearby cells. Analysis of individual cells internalizing sEV, using a Cre-reporter system, show a positive correlation between sEV uptake and senescence activation. Interestingly, we find an increase in the number of multivesicular bodies during senescence in vivo. sEV protein characterization by mass spectrometry (MS) followed by a functional siRNA screen identify the Interferon Induced Transmembrane Protein 3 (IFITM3) as partially responsible for transmitting senescence to normal cells. Altogether, we found that sEV contribute to paracrine senescence. Overall design: SASP related mRNA transcripts in HFFF2 treated with sEV from iRAS cells in comparison with HFFF2 treated with sEV from iC cells

Description
Senescent cells accumulate in many ageing-associated diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, and targeting these cells has recently emerged as a promising therapeutic approach. Here, we take advantage of the high ß-galactosidase activity of senescent cells to design a targeted drug delivery system based on the encapsulation of drugs with galacto-oligosaccharides (GalNP beads). In this experiment we show that gal-encapsulated rhodamine target senescent cells in the context of pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Overall design: 8- to 10-week-old C57BL/6 wild-type mice were intratracheally inoculated with bleomycin at 1.5 U/kg of body weight. Two weeks later mice were i.v. injected with 200 µl of a solution of GalNP beads loaded with rhodamine [GalNP(rho)] at 4 mg/ml, equivalent to 1 mg/kg of deliverable rhodamine. 6 hours later mice were sacrificed and lung cells were analysed by flow cytometry and sorted into Rho+ or Rho- cells, all CD45-CD31-.

Description
Brucella suis infects macrophages and dendritic cells. Wild boars act as reservoirs and carriers of Brucella suis biovar 2, and there is evidence that wild boar can be the main source of infection for domestic pigs through the venereal route. Transmission through this route could be an important path for disesease dissemination. The result from this study will contribute to the overall understanding of the molecular pathogenic mechanisms involved during Brucella suis infection in European wild boar.
