Description
Glucocorticoid resistance (GCR) is defined as an unresponsiveness to the anti-inflammatory properties of glucocorticoids (GCs) and their receptor, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). It is a serious problem in the management of inflammatory diseases and occurs frequently. The strong pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF induces an acute form of GCR, not only in mice, but also in several cell lines, e.g. in the hepatoma cell line BWTG3, as evidenced by impaired Dexamethasone (Dex)-induced GR-dependent gene expression. We report that TNF has a significant and broad impact on the transcriptional performance of GR, but no impact on nuclear translocation, dimerization or DNA binding capacity of GR. Proteome-wide proximity-mapping (BioID), however, revealed that the GR interactome is strongly modulated by TNF. One GR cofactor that interacts significantly less with the receptor under GCR conditions is p300. NF?B activation and p300 knockdown both reduce transcriptional output of GR, whereas p300 overexpression and NF?B inhibition revert TNF-induced GCR, which is in support of a cofactor reshuffle model. This hypothesis is supported by FRET studies. This mechanism of GCR opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions in GCR diseases Overall design: Examination of GR induced gene expression in 4 conditions (1 control: NI and 3 treated: DEX, TNF, TNFDEX) starting from 3 biological replicates

Description
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a type I cytokine that plays a central role in induction of allergic inflammatory responses. Its principal targets have been reported to be dendritic cells and / or CD4 T cells; epithelial cells are a principal source. We report here the development of a reporter mouse (TSLP-ZsG) in which a ZsGreen (ZsG)-encoding construct has been inserted by recombineering into a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) immediately at the translation initiating ATG of TSLP. The expression of ZsG by mice transgenic for the recombinant BAC appears to be a faithful surrogate for TSLP expression, particularly in keratinocytes and medullary thymic epithelials cells (mTECs). A comparison of gene expression in ZsG expressing and ZsG negative mTECs and cortical thymic epithelial cells, which are all ZsG negative, revealed that all three populations can be distinguished from one another. In particular ZsG (and TSLP) expressing mTECs and ZsG- mTECs are separable populations based on gene expression profiling. Little or no expression of ZsG is observed in bone marrow-derived mast cells or basophils or in CD45+ cells infiltrating TSLP/ZsG-expressing skin. Using the TSLP-ZsG reporter mouse, we show that TNFa and IL-4/IL-13 are potent inducers of TSLP expression by keratinocytes and that local activation of Th2 and Th1 cells induces keratinocyte TSLP expression. We suggest that the capacity of TSLP to both induce Th2 differentiation and to be induced by activated Th2 cells raises the possibility that TSLP may be involved in a positive feedback loop to enhance allergic inflammatory conditions.

Description
The unfolded protein response (UPR), as its name implies, safeguards secretory pathway proteostasis. The most ancient arm of the UPR, the IRE1-activated, XBP1s-mediated transcriptional response, has roles in secretory pathway maturation beyond resolving proteostatic stress. Understanding the consequences of XBP1s' transcriptional output for cellular processes is critical for elucidating mechanistic connections between XBP1s and development, immunity, and disease. Here, we show that a key functional consequence of XBP1s activation is a cell type-dependent shift in the distribution of N-glycan structures on endogenous membrane and secreted proteomes. XBP1s activity decreases sialylation of tri- and tetra-antennary N-glycans in the HEK293 membrane proteome and secretome, while substantially increasing the population of high mannose N-glycans only in the secretome. Related, but distinctive, signatures in the HEK293 N-glycome are observed when the entire UPR is activated in a stress-dependent manner using thapsigargin. In HeLa cells, stress-independent XBP1s activation increases the population of cell surface high mannose N-glycans and tetra-antennary N-glycans. mRNA profiling experiments suggest that the XBP1s-mediated remodeling of the N-glycome may re-flect a coordinated consequence of transcriptional resculpting of the N-glycan maturation pathway by XBP1s. The discovery of XBP1s-induced N-glycan structural remodeling on a glycome-wide scale suggests that XBP1s is a master regulator of N-glycan maturation. Moreover, because the sugars on cell surface proteins or on those proteins secreted from an XBP1s-activated cell can be molecularly distinct from those of an unactivated cell, these findings reveal a potential new mechanism for translating intracellular stress signaling pathways into al-tered interactions with the extracellular environment. Overall design: Three biological replicates of HeLaXBP1s cells treated with DMSO vehicle, 1 ug/ml dox or 750 nM Thapsigargin.

Description
The transcriptomic profiling of psoriasis has led to an increased understanding of disease pathogenesis. Although microarray technologies have been instrumental in this regard, it is clear that these tools detect an incomplete set of DEGs. RNA-seq can be used to supplement these prior technologies. Here, the use of RNAseq methods substantially increased the number of psoriasis-related DEGs. Furthermore, DEGs that were uniquely identified by RNA-seq, but not in other published microarray studies, further supported the role of IL-17 and tumor necrosis factor-a synergy in psoriasis. Examination of one of these factors at the protein level confirmed that RNA-seq is a powerful tool that can be used to identify molecular factors present in psoriasis lesions, and may be useful in the identification of therapeutic targets that to our knowledge have not been reported previously. Further studies are in progress to determine the biological significance of DEGs uniquely discovered by RNA-seq. Overall design: To define the transcriptomic profile of psoriatic skin, three pairs of lesional and nonlesional skin biopsy specimens were taken from patients with untreated moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

The susceptibility of macrophages to HIV-1 infection is modulated during monocyte differentiation. IL-27 is an anti-HIV cytokine that also modulates monocyte activation. Here, we present new evidence that IL-27 promotes monocyte differentiation into macrophages that are non-permissive for HIV-1 infection.

Description
Snt2 is a yeast chromatin-interacting protein whose function has not been well characterized, that was recently shown to associate with Ecm5 and the Rpd3 deacetylase. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq), we show that in response to H2O2, Snt2 and Ecm5 colocalize to promoters of genes involved in various aspects of the environmental stress response. By integrating these ChIP-seq results with expression analysis, we identify a key set of target genes that require Snt2 for proper expression after H2O2 stress. Finally, by mapping Snt2 and Ecm5 localization before and after rapamycin treatment, we identify a subset of H2O2-specific Snt2 and Ecm5 target promoters that are also targeted in response to rapamycin. Our results establish a function for Snt2 in regulating transcriptional changes in response to oxidative stress, and suggest Snt2 may have a role in additional stress pathways. Overall design: RNA-seq analysis to look at gene expression levels in wild-type, snt2 deletion, or ecm5 deletion strains before or 0.5 hours after treatment with H2O2 (final concentration 0.4 mM). This sequencing was done on biological triplicate samples.
