Description
Relatively brief bouts of exercise alter gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), but whether or not exercise changes gene expression in circulating neutrophils (whose numbers, like PBMCs, increase) is not known. We hypothesized that exercise would activate neutrophil genes involved in apoptosis, inflammation, and cell growth and repair, since these functions in leukocytes are known to be influenced by exercise. Blood was sampled before and immediately after 30-min of constant, heavy (about 80% peak O2 uptake) cycle-ergometer exercise in 12 healthy men (19-29 yr old) of average fitness. Neutrophils were isolated using density gradients; RNA was hybridized to Affymetrix U133+2 Genechip arrays. Using FDR<0.05 with 95% confidence a total of 526 genes were differentially expressed between before and after exercise. 316 genes had higher expression after exercise. The Jak/STAT pathway, known to inhibit apoptosis, was significantly activated (EASE score, p<0.005), but 14 genes were altered in a way likely to accelerate apoptosis as well. Similarly, both proinflammatory (e.g., IL32, TNFSF8 and CCR5) and anti-inflammatory (e.g., ANXA1) were affected. Growth and repair genes like AREG and FGF2 receptor genes (involved in angiogenesis) were also activated. Finally, a number of neutrophil genes known to be involved in pathological conditions like asthma and arthritis were altered by exercise, suggesting novel links between physical activity and disease or its prevention. In summary, brief heavy exercise leads to a previously unknown substantial and significant alteration in neutrophil gene expression.

Description
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a polyglutamine-encoding CAG repeat expansion in the ATXN3 gene, which encodes a deubiquitinating enzyme, ATXN3, implicated in numerous quality control pathways. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the pathogenic role of mutant polyQ-expanded ATXN3 in SCA3 including disease protein aggregation, impairment of ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation and transcriptional dysregulation. A better understanding of the normal functions of this protein may shed light on SCA3 disease pathogenesis. To assess the potential normal role of ATXN3 in regulating transcription, we compared gene expression profiles in wildtype (WT) versus Atxn3 knockout (KO) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs).

Description
It has long been appreciated that striped pair-rule transcription factor expression is necessary for convergent extension in the early Drosophila embryo, although the mechanisms that link these transcriptional regulators to planar polarity in this tissue have long been elusive. The goal of this study was to determine the transcriptional tragets of the pair-rule transcription factors Eve and Runt in Drosophila blastoderm embryos. We compared the transcriptional profiles of late blastoderm embryos injected with either water or dsRNAs against both eve and runt to identify differentially expressed genes that may directly contribute to the establishment of planar polarity during Drosophila convergent extension. Overall design: Comparing the mRNA profiles from late blastoderm Drosophila embryos injected with either water (Water) or eve+runt dsRNAs (Eve), in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq.

Description
To achieve the extreme nuclear condensation necessary for sperm function, most histones are replaced with protamines during spermiogenesis in mammals. Mature sperm retain only a small fraction of nucleosomes, which are, in part, enriched on gene regulatory sequences, and recent findings suggest that these retained histones provide epigenetic information that regulates expression of a subset of genes involved in embryo development after fertilization. We addressed this tantalizing hypothesis by analyzing two mouse models exhibiting abnormal histone positioning in mature sperm due to impaired poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) metabolism during spermiogenesis and identified altered sperm histone retention in specific gene loci genome-wide using MNase digestion-based enrichment of mononucleosomal DNA. We then set out to determine the extent to which expression of these genes was altered in embryos generated with these sperm. For control sperm, most genes showed some degree of histone association, unexpectedly suggesting that histone retention in sperm genes is not an all-or-none phenomenon and that a small number of histones may remain associated with genes throughout the genome. The amount of retained histones, however, was altered in many loci when PAR metabolism was impaired. To ascertain whether sperm histone association and embryonic gene expression are linked, the transcriptome of individual 2-cell embryos derived from such sperm was determined using microarrays and RNA sequencing. Strikingly, a moderate but statistically significant portion of the genes that were differentially expressed in these embryos also showed different histone retention in the corresponding gene loci in sperm of their fathers. These findings provide new evidence for the existence of a linkage between sperm histone retention and gene expression in the embryo. Overall design: 9 WT samples in 3 groups of 3. Each group consists of 3 eggs fertilized by the same father. 9 KO samples in the same setup.
