Spiroplasma (Mollicutes) is one of the heritable bacterial endosymbionts of Drosophila species. Several strains like S. poulsonii manipulate host reproduction in a selfish manner. When females of D. melanogaster are infected with natural S. poulsonii strain MSRO (melanogaster sex ratio organism), only male offspring are killed during embryogenesis, and this phenomenon is called male-killing. To understand the molecular mechanism of male-killing, we compared gene expression profiles between MSRO-infected and uninfected embryos of D. melanogaster by using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). For embryonic sexing, we employed a transgenic reporter strain Sex-lethal (Sxl)-Pe-EGFP, which expresses GFP only in females. We collected female and male embryos at stage 10-11, when abnormal apoptosis associated with male-killing starts to occur in male progenies. For each sample, we analyzed three biological replicates.

Variable expressivity of ciliopathy neurological phenotypes that encompass Meckel-Gruber syndrome and Joubert syndrome is caused by complex de-regulated ciliogenesis, Shh and Wnt signalling defects.

View SamplesIn this study, we purified periodontal ligament cell clones committed to osteoblastic/cementoblastic phenotype (C-O clones) and clones committed to fibroblastic phenotype (C-F clones), and employed RNA-seq to describe the differential transcriptional profile of osteoblastic/cementoblastic and fibroblastic cell clones from human periodontal ligament. The understanding of differences in periodontal ligament subpopulations can help to elucitade the favorable to formation of mineralizing and non-mineralizing tissues of periodontium.

View SamplesWe examined the effect of quercetin on the gene expression and function of epididymal adipose tissue (EAT) in Western diet-induced obese mice. Quercetin suppressed the increase in the number of macrophages and the decrease in the ratio of CD4+ to CD8+ T cells in EAT, and the elevation of plasma leptin and TNF levels in mice fed the Western diet. Comprehensive gene expression analysis revealed that quercetin suppressed gene expression associated with the accumulation and activation of immune cells, including macrophages and lymphocytes in EAT. It also improved the expression of the oxidative stress-sensitive transcription factor NFB, NADPH oxidases, and antioxidant enzymes. Quercetin markedly increased gene expression associated with mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial DNA Quercetin most likely universally suppresses the accumulation and activation of immune cells, including anti-inflammatory cells, whereas it specifically increased gene expression associated with mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Suppression of oxidative stress and NFB activity likely contributed to the prevention of the accumulation and activation of immune cells and resulting chronic inflammation.
