Description
Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are driven by alternate type 2 and type 17 immune responses, but some proteins might be critical to both diseases. We show that a deficiency of the TNF superfamily molecule TWEAK (TNFSF12) in mice results in defective maintenance of atopic dermatitis-specific Th2 and psoriasis-specific Th17 cells in the skin, and impaired expression of disease-characteristic chemokines and cytokines, such as CCL17 and TSLP in atopic dermatitis, and CCL20 and IL-19 in psoriasis. The TWEAK receptor, Fn14, is upregulated in keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, and TWEAK induces these cytokines and chemokines alone and in synergy with the signature T helper cytokines of either disease, IL-13 and IL-17. Furthermore, subcutaneous injection of recombinant TWEAK into naïve mice induces cutaneous inflammation with histological and molecular signs of both diseases. TWEAK is therefore a critical contributor to skin inflammation and a possible therapeutic target in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Overall design: Eight- to 12-week old male mice were used. TWEAK-deficient animals were bred in house on the C57BL/6 background, and Fn14-deficient animals on a BALB/c. Atopic Dermatitis-like disease was induced by epicutaneous treatment with HDM extract (10 µg/mouse and treatment) and SEB (500 ng/mouse and treatment) given in 2 cycles on days 1 and 4, and 14 and 17, on the shaved and tape-stripped back skin over a 23 day period.

Description
HOX genes encode a family of homeodomain-containing transcription factors involved in the determination of cell fate and identity during embryonic development. They also behave as oncogenes in some malignancies. In this study, we found high expression of the HOXD9 gene transcript in glioma cell lines and human glioma tissues by quantitative real-time PCR. Using immunocytochemistry, we observed HOXD9 protein expression in human brain tumor tissues, including astrocytomas and glioblastomas. To investigate the role of HOXD9 in gliomas, we silenced its expression in the glioma cell line U87 using HOXD9-specific siRNA, and observed decreased cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest, and induction of apoptosis. It was suggested that HOXD9 contributes to both cell proliferation and/or cell survival. The HOXD9 gene was highly expressed in a side population (SP) of SK-MG-1 cells that was previously identified as an enriched-cell fraction of glioma cancer stem-like cells. HOXD9 siRNA treatment of SK-MG-1 SP cells resulted in reduced cell proliferation. Finally, we cultured human glioma cancer stem cells (GCSCs) from patient specimens found with high expression of HOXD9 in GCSCs compared with normal astrocyte cells and neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs). Our results suggest that HOXD9 may be a novel marker of GCSCs and cell proliferation and/or survival factor in gliomas and glioma cancer stem-like cells, and a potential therapeutic target.

Description
Tumors consist of heterogeneous cell population, containing cancer cell subpopulations with anticancer drug-resistant property, called “persister” cells. To reveal the character of the persister cells, we analyzed gene expression profile of patient-derived gastric cells and residual cancer cells after treatment with 5-FU or SN38, an active metabolite of irinotecan. In our study, we identified ALDH1A3 as a marker and a cell proliferation factor of persister cells. To examine molecular pathways regulated by ALDH1A3, we analyzed gene expression profile of patient-derived gastric JSC15-3 in which ALDH1A3 was knocked down by using shRNAs.

Description
Consumption of a protein containing meal by a fasted animal promotes protein accretion in skeletal muscle, in part through leucine stimulation of protein synthesis and indirectly through repression of protein degradation mediated by its metabolite, a-ketoisocaproate. Mice lacking the mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase (BCATm/Bcat2), that interconverts leucine and a-ketoisocaproate, exhibit elevated protein turnover. Here, the transcriptomes of gastrocnemius muscle from BCATm knockout (KO) and wildtype mice were compared using Next Generation RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) to identify potential adaptations associated with their persistently altered nutrient signaling. Statistically significant changes in the abundance of 1486/~39,010 genes were identified. Bioinformatics analysis of the RNA-Seq data indicated that pathways involved in protein synthesis (eIF2, mTOR, eIF4 and p70S6K pathways including 40S and 60S ribosomal proteins), protein breakdown (e.g., ubiquitin mediated), and muscle degeneration (apoptosis, atrophy, myopathy and cell death) were up-regulated. Also in agreement with our previous observations, the abundance of mRNAs associated with reduced body size, glycemia, plasma insulin, and lipid signaling pathways were observed in BCATm KO mice. Consistently, genes encoding anaerobic and/or oxidative metabolism of carbohydrate, fatty acids and BCAAs were modestly but systematically reduced. Although there was no indication that muscle fiber type was different between KO and wildtype mice, a difference in the abundance of mRNAs associated with a muscular dystrophy phenotype was observed, consistent with the published exercise intolerance of these mice. The results suggest transcriptional adaptations occur in BCATm KO mice that along with altered nutrient signaling may contribute to their previously reported protein turnover, metabolic and exercise phenotypes. Overall design: Comparison of wildtype and BCATm KO gastrocnemius biological replicates

Description
The purpose of this study was to examined the acute actions of the second generation antipsychotic (SGA), olanzapine, on skeletal muscle (gastrocnemius) of Sprague Dawley Rats. SGAs cause metabolic side effects including leading to metabolic inflexibility, hyperglycemia, adiposity and diabetes. These effects are preceded by glucose intolerance and increased FFA flux and metabolism in peripheral tissues. Skeletal muscle is a likely target of glucose intolerance, therefore understanding how olanzapine affects the skeletal muscle transcriptome could elucidate approaches for mitigating these side effects. Male Sprague-Dawley rats freely fed on normal chow with comparable body weights (vehicle: 373±9g, olanzapine: 388±11g, p=0.34) were infused with vehicle or olanzapine for 24h using a dosing regimen leading to mild hyperglycemia (vehicle, 98±2mg/dl; olanzapine 127±4mg/dl, p=0.0023). For the olanzapine group, the venous catheter was attached to a syringe pump (Model NE-300) filled with olanzapine (Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd, Hyderabad, India) in sterile saline (infusion: 1mg/100g BW loading dose for 0.5h and then 0.04mg/100g/h continuously for 23.5h). Gastrocnemius was then surgically removed under isoflurane anesthesia (carried with 100% O2), and frozen between two aluminum blocks cooled to the temperature of liquid nitrogen and then stored at -80oC until RNA was isolated. With anesthesia gas flow continuing, the animals were euthanized by cutting the diaphram and removing the heart. The mRNA was isolated from from these muscles and used for RNA-Seq followed by alignment of the data with the rat genome assembly 5.0. To determine significant differences in FPKM values between control and olanzapine groups, the DEGexp function of the DEGseq 1.18.0 R package was used with the Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) and default parameters. In the uploaded excel file, P values with p<0.05 and p<0.001 are shown for each row in different columns indicated by the number 1. The value 0 indicates the row is not significantly different. Overall design: Comparison of vehicle (n=3) and olanzapine infused (n=3) rats.
