Affymetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 Array (yeast2)
Description
To explore putative connections between genetic methionine restriction and the retrograde response, we asked whether the altered transcriptional program of methionine-restricted cells required RTG3 (which is indispensible for retrograde signaling in yeast).
Publication Title
Methionine restriction activates the retrograde response and confers both stress tolerance and lifespan extension to yeast, mouse and human cells.

Description
Glioblastoma HSR-GBM1 cells have low mitochondrial DNA copy numbers which is associated with the abnormal DNA methylation patterns. By inducing DNA demthylation using 5azacytidine and vitamin C, HSR-GBM1 cells modulate their mitochondrial copy number and capability of differentiation. Overall design: HSR-GBM1 cell line with three conditions: untreated control group, treated with 5 azacitidine and treated with vitamin C. 3 biological replicates of each condition.
Publication Title
Global DNA methylation synergistically regulates the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes in glioblastoma cells.

Description
The human Werner and Bloom syndromes (WS and BS) are caused by deficiencies in the WRN and BLM RecQ helicases, respectively. WRN, BLM and their S. cerevisiae homologue Sgs1, are particularly active in vitro in unwinding G-quadruplex DNA (G4-DNA), a family of non-canonical nucleic acid structures formed by certain G-rich sequences. Recently, mRNA levels from loci containing potential G-quadruplex-forming sequences (PQS) were found to be preferentially altered in sgs1 mutants, suggesting that G4-DNA targeting by Sgs1 directly affects gene expression. Here, we extend these findings to human cells. Using microarrays to measure mRNAs obtained from human fibroblasts deficient for various RecQ family helicases, we observe significant associations between loci that are upregulated in WS or BS cells and loci that have PQS. No such PQS associations were observed for control expression datasets, however. Furthermore, upregulated genes in WS and BS showed no or dramatically reduced associations with sequences similar to PQS but that have considerably reduced potential to form intramolecular G4-DNA. These findings indicate that, like Sgs1, WRN and BLM can regulate transcription globally by targeting G4-DNA.
Publication Title
Altered gene expression in the Werner and Bloom syndromes is associated with sequences having G-quadruplex forming potential.

Description
Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) has transformed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection from a fatal illness to a chronic condition by controlling viral replication and restoring immune function. However, chronic T-cell activation can be observed in 20-35% of individuals on ART, resulting in an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) [1-3]. IRIS involving the CNS can result in permanent disability and death [4]. Tat is a viral protein produced in HIV-infected cells and released into the extracellular space [5]. We show that the secreted-Tat protein activated uninfected T-cells in an antigen-independent manner without inducing proliferation. Notably, Tat induced the secretion of IL-17 from T-cells and increased the percentage of T-cells with a Th17 phenotype. T-cell activation was independent of the T-cell receptor but dependent on endocytosis of Tat and activation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). Tat induced global changes in histone acetylation and increased HIV infection in non-replicating T-cells. Furthermore, in an individual with CNS IRIS, Tat expressing infiltrates and secretion of IL-17 was detected in the absence of viral replication in the brain. Thus Tat can induce T-cell activation in a paracrine and autocrine manner resulting in propagation of inflammation and increased virulence.

Description
Live antigen-specific CD4 T cells are identified typically by tetramer staining or by staining of cytokines captured on the cell surface by bi-functional antibodies. We attempted identification of mycobacteria specific CD4 T cells using CD154 staining. In this method, splenocytes were stimulated with appropriate antigens in the presence of monensin and fluorochrome-conjugated anti-CD154 antibody. Antigen-specific cells will be stained positive for CD154. We performed microarrays with CD154 positive and negative CD4 T cells.
