Description
Transcriptional regulation by Store-operated Calcium Entry (SOCE) is well studied in non-excitable cells. However, the role of SOCE has been poorly documented in neuronal cells with more complicated calcium dynamics. Previous reports demonstrated a requirement of neuronal SOCE for Drosophila flight. We identified the early pupal stage to be critical and used RNA-sequencing to identify SOCE mediated gene expression changes in the developing Drosophila pupal nervous system. We down-regulated dStim, the endoplasmic reticular calcium sensor and a principal component of SOCE in the nervous system for a 24h period during pupal development, and compared wild type and knockdown transcriptional profiles, immediately after knockdown as well as after a 36h recovery period. We found that dStim knockdown altered the expression of a number of genes. We also characterized one of the down-regulated genes, Ral for its role in flight. Thus, we identify neuronal SOCE as a mechanism that regulates expression of a number of genes during the development of the pupal nervous system. These genes can be further studied in the context of pupal nervous system development. Overall design: mRNA sequencing from two biological replicates each of wild type and dStim knockdown pupal brains at two time points - 36h APF (post 24h knockdown) and at 72h APF (Post knockdown and recovery)

Description
Leishmania major infected human dendritic cells (DCs) exhibit a marked induction of IL-12 ultimately promoting a robust Th1-mediated response associated with parasite killing and protective immunity. In this study, we utilized Affymetrix Genechips to globally assess the host cell genes and pathways associated with L. major infection during early infection (2, 4, 8, and 24 hrs) in human myeloid-derived DCs. Bioinformatic analyses of the hybridized microarray chips identified 728 genes, represented by 848 unique probe sets, which, when compared to uninfected samples were observed to be significantly differentially expressed by one-way ANOVA. Altogether, the data provide a genome-wide perspective on the transcriptional influences Leishmania species exert within human DCs during early infection, and provides a platform for further investigations toward functionally characterizing candidate genes of importance to the IL-12 based immune response to infections.
Publication Title
Human dendritic cells exhibit a pronounced type I IFN signature following Leishmania major infection that is required for IL-12 induction.

Description
Embryonic stem cells are maintained in a self-renewing and pluripotent state by multiple regulatory pathways. Pluripotent-specific transcriptional networks are sequentially reactivated as somatic cells reprogram to achieve pluripotency. How epigenetic regulators modulate this process and contribute to somatic cell reprogramming is not clear. Here we perform a functional RNAi screen to identify the earliest epigenetic regulators required for reprogramming. We identify components of the SAGA histone acetyltransferase complex, in particular Gcn5, as critical regulators of reprogramming initiation. Furthermore, we show in mouse pluripotent stem cells that Gcn5 strongly associates with Myc and that upon initiation of somatic reprogramming, Gcn5 and Myc form a positive feed forward loop that activates a distinct alternative splicing network and the early acquisition of pluripotency-associated splicing events. These studies expose a Myc-SAGA pathway that drives expression of an essential alternative splicing regulatory network during somatic cell reprogramming. Overall design: Examination of expression level changes at D0 and D2 MEFs

Description
Bio-electrospray, the direct jet-based cell handling apporach, is able to handle a wide range of cells. Studies at the genomic, genetic, and the physiological level have shown that, post-treatment, cellular integrity is unperturbed and a high percentage (>70%, compared to control) of cells remain viable. Although, these results are impressive, it may be argued that cell based systems are oversimplistic. This study utilizing a well characterised multicellular model organism, the non-parasitic nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Nematodes were subjected to bio-electrosprays to demonstrate that bio-electrosprays can be safely applied to nematodes.

Description
Management of severe asthma remains a challenge despite treatment with glucocorticosteroid therapy. The majority of studies investigating disease mechanisms in treatment-resistant severe asthma have previously focused on the large central airways, with very few utilizing transcriptomic approaches. The small peripheral airways, which comprise the majority of the airway surface area, remain an unexplored area in severe asthma and were targeted for global epithelial gene expression profiling in this study.

Description
Diverse functions of the homeodomain transcription factor BARX1 include Wnt-dependent, non-cell autonomous specification of the stomach epithelium, tracheo-bronchial septation, and Wnt-independent expansion of the spleen primordium. Tight spatio-temporal regulation of Barx1 levels in the mesentery and stomach mesenchyme suggests additional roles. To determine these functions, we forced constitutive BARX1 expression in the Bapx1 expression domain, which includes the mesentery and intestinal mesenchyme, and also examined Barx1-/- embryos in further detail. Transgenic embryos invariably showed intestinal truncation and malrotation, in part reflecting abnormal left-right patterning. Ectopic BARX1 expression did not affect intestinal epithelium, but intestinal smooth muscle developed with features typical of the stomach wall. BARX1, which is normally restricted to the developing stomach, drives robust smooth muscle expansion in this organ by promoting proliferation of myogenic progenitors at the expense of other sub-epithelial cells. Undifferentiated embryonic stomach and intestinal mesenchyme showed modest differences in mRNA expression and BARX1 was sufficient to induce much of the stomach profile in intestinal cells. However, limited binding at cis-regulatory sites implies that BARX1 may act principally through other transcription factors. Genes expressed ectopically in BARX1+ intestinal mesenchyme and reduced in Barx1-/- stomach mesenchyme include Isl1, Pitx1, Six2 and Pitx2, transcription factors known to control left-right patterning and influence smooth muscle development. The sum of evidence suggests that potent BARX1 functions in intestinal rotation and stomach myogenesis occur through this small group of intermediary transcription factors.
