High-intensity intermittent exercise training (HIIT) has been proposed as an effective approach for improving both anaerobic and aerobic capacities. However, the molecular response of muscles to HIIT remains unknown.

View SamplesWe identified DCIR2+DCs but not DEC205+DCs as able to induce peripheral T cell tolerance in pre-diabetic autoimmune NOD mice. To determine what distinct genetic programs are elicited in the auto-reactive CD4 T cells early after stimulation by these two DC subsets, we utilized adoptive transfer of BDC2.5 CD4 T cells into NOD mice, which were then given chimeric antibody to deliver the beta-cell specific antigen to either DCIR2+DCs or DEC205+DCs, leading to BDC2.5 CD4 T cell specific stimulation in vivo. The analysis shows that the negative transcriptional factor Zbtb32 (ROG) is up-regulated more in BDC2.5 CD4 T cells after stimulated with a antigen via DCIR2+DCs presentation, compared with DEC205+DCs, suggesting the involvement of Zbtb32 in DCIR2+DCs-mediated auto-reactive T cell tolerance in disease ongoing NOD mice.

View SamplesMalaria is a disease with diverse symptoms depending on host immune status and pathogenicity of Plasmodium parasites. The continuous parasite growth within a host suggests mechanisms of immune evasion and/or inhibition. To identify pathways commonly inhibited by malaria infection, we infected C67BL/6 mice with four Plasmodium yoelii strains causing different disease phenotypes and 24 progeny of a genetic cross. mRNAs from mouse spleens day 1 and/or day 4 post infection (p.i.) were hybridized to a mouse microarray to identify activated or inhibited pathways, upstream regulators, and linkages to parasite genetic loci. Strong interferon responses were observed after infection with N67 strain, whereas initial inhibition and later activation of hematopoiesis pathways were found after infection with 17XNL parasite. Inhibition of pathways such as Th1 activation, dendritic cell (DC) maturation, and NFAT immune regulation were observed in mice infected with all the parasite strains day 4 p.i., suggesting universally inhibited immune pathways. Treatment of infected mice with antibodies against T cell receptors OX40 or CD28 to activate malaria-inhibited pathways enhanced host survival. Controlled activation of these pathways may provide important strategies for better disease management and for developing an effective vaccine.

View SamplesAn invading pathogen will trigger specific host responses, which can be explored to identify genes functioning in pathogen recognition and elimination. Here we performed trans-species expression quantitative trait locus (ts-eQTL) analysis using genotypes of the Plasmodium yoelii malaria parasite and phenotypes of mouse gene expression. We significantly (LOD score3.0) linked 1,054 host genes to many parasite genetic loci. Clustering genome-wide pattern of LOD scores (GPLSs), which produced results different from those of direct expression level clustering, grouped host genes functioning in related pathways together, allowing accurate functional prediction of unknown genes. As proof of principle, 14 of 15 randomly selected genes unknown, but predicted to function in type I interferon (IFN-I) responses, were experimentally verified using gene over expression, shRNA knockdown, viral infection, and/or infection of KO mice. This study demonstrates an effective strategy for studying gene function, establishes a functional gene database, and identifies regulators in IFN-I pathways.
