Description
To investigate the role of DNA topoisomerases in transcription, we have studied global gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells deficient for topoisomerases I and II and performed single-gene analyses to support our findings. The genome-wide studies show a general transcriptional down-regulation upon lack of the enzymes, which correlates with gene activity but not gene length. Furthermore, our data reveal a distinct subclass of genes with a strong requirement for topoisomerases. These genes are characterized by high transcriptional plasticity, chromatin regulation, TATA box presence, and enrichment of a nucleosome at a critical position in the promoter region, in line with a repressible/inducible mode of regulation. Single-gene studies with a range of genes belonging to this group demonstrate that topoisomerases play an important role during activation of these genes. Subsequent in-depth analysis of the inducible PHO5 gene reveals that topoisomerases are essential for binding of the Pho4p transcription factor to the PHO5 promoter, which is required for promoter nucleosome removal during activation. In contrast, topoisomerases are dispensable for constitutive transcription initiation and elongation of PHO5, as well as the nuclear entrance of Pho4p. Finally, we provide evidence that topoisomerases are required to maintain the PHO5 promoter in a superhelical state, which is competent for proper activation. In conclusion, our results reveal a hitherto unknown function of topoisomerases during transcriptional activation of genes with a repressible/inducible mode of regulation

- Illumina human-6 v2.0 expression beadchip
Description
Whole genome microarrays were probed with total mRNA from PTD-DRBD GAPDH siRNA treated H1299 cells at 12 h and 24 h. Using a 1.6x fold increase/decrease filter of cellular mRNAs, we detected a dramatic reduction in the target GAPDH mRNA along with a limited number of both up and down regulated genes. The up regulated genes were reduced in numbers and to nearly background 1.6x levels at 24 h, while the down regulated genes increased slightly in numbers and maintained a similar magnitude at 24 h. In contrast, lipofection treated cells showed both a dramatic increase in both the total number of genes altered and the magnitude of the increase. In addition, the numbers of genes affected increased between 12 h and 24 h, suggesting that lipofection of siRNAs into cells results in a substantial alteration to the transcriptome and may thereby confound interpretation of experimental outcomes. Moreover, the GAPDH specific knockdown was significantly smaller than PTD-DRBD mediated knockdown.

Description
Objective: Conflicting evidence exists regarding the suppressive capacity of Tregs from the peripheral blood (PB) of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our aim was to determine whether Tregs are intrinsically defective in RA using a wide range of read-out assays. Methods: CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs from CD45RO+ and CD45RA+ compartments of PB from patients with RA and healthy controls (HC) were analysed for phenotype, cytokine expression profile (ex vivo and after in vitro stimulation), suppression of effector T-cell proliferation and cytokine production, suppression of monocyte-derived cytokine/chemokine production, and gene expression profiling. Results: No differences were observed between patients with RA and HC regarding Treg frequency, ex vivo phenotype (CD4, CD25, CD127, CD39, CD161) or pro-inflammatory cytokine profile (IL-17, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha). FOXP3 expression was increased in Tregs from RA blood. The ability of Tregs to suppress T-cell proliferation or cytokine (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha) production upon co-culture with autologous CD45RO+ effector T-cells and monocytes was not significantly different between patients with RA and HC. CD45RO+ Tregs from RA blood showed a slightly impaired ability to suppress production of some cytokines/chemokines by autologous LPS-activated monocytes (IL-1-beta, IL-1Ra, IL-7, CCL3, CCL4), but this was not true for all patients and other cytokines/chemokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IL-15, CCL5) were suppressed in the majority of patients similarly to HC. Finally, gene expression profiling of CD45RA+ or CD45RO+ Tregs from PB revealed no statistically significant differences between patients with RA and HC. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that Tregs isolated from PB of patients with RA are not intrinsically defective.

Description
Platelet-derived growth factor-C (PDGF-C) is one of three known ligands for the tyrosine kinase receptor PDGFR. Analysis of Pdgfc null mice has demonstrated roles for PDGF-C in palate closure and the formation of cerebral ventricles, but redundancy with other PDGFR ligands might hide additional functions. In search of further developmental roles for PDGF-C, we generated mice that were double mutants for Pdgfc -/- and Pdgfra GFP/+. These mice display a range of severe phenotypes including cerebellar malformation, neuronal over-migration in the cerebral cortex, spina bifida and lung emphysema. We focused our analysis on the central nervous system (CNS), where PDGF-C was identified as a critical factor for the formation of meninges and assembly of the glia limitans basement membrane.
