View SamplesThe xylose fermentation capability of an industrainl Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain was enhanced by adaptive evolution. Eight homozygots were generated by tetrads dissection.
Comparative transcriptomes reveal novel evolutionary strategies adopted by Saccharomyces cerevisiae with improved xylose utilization capability.

View SamplesAcquisition of a new strain of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is often associated with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We have previously reported that COPD patients who are homozygous null for SIGLEC14 gene is less susceptible to COPD exacerbation than those who have wild-type allele with functional SIGLEC14 gene.

View SamplesEstrogen-related receptor ? (ERR?) signaling increases during the neonatal to adult transition in pancreatic islet ß-cells. We show that ß-cell-specific ERR?-deficient (ßERR?KO) mice exhibit glucose intolerance with reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and ßERR?KO islets have defective GSIS function accompanied by changes in genes that regulate ATP biosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, and the electron transport chain. ERR? overexpression enhances genes involved in mitochondrial metabolism, resulting in transformation of ß-like-cells into metabolically functional ß-cells that can ameliorate STZ-induced hyperglycemia in NOD-SCID mice. These results suggest that ERR? signaling is essential for the metabolic maturation of ß-like-cells and thus represents a novel therapeutic target in the treatment of diabetes.

View SamplesWe report the expression profiles of the nuclear receptor family of transcription factors, known regulators of metabolism, during iPSC generation. Unique but overlapping expression patterns were found in iPSCs derived from adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) and embryonic fibroblasts (human and mouse) that correlate with developmental transitions in the cell.

View SamplesWe describe GC-Tfr, a population of CD25 negative Foxp3 positive CXCR5hiPD1hiBCL6hi T-follicular regulatory cells that preferentially localise in the germinal centers. Male C57BL/6 Foxp3-DTR-GFP reporter mice were vaccinated with NP-Ova in Alum and 7 days later cells sorted before RNA-sequencing. Analysis revealed that GC-Tfr have a gene expression pattern equidistant between Tregs and Tfh, but fundamentally retain their suppressive characteristics as regulatory cells.

View SamplesT-follicular helper cells (Tfh) differentiate through a multistep process culminating in germinal center (GC) resident GC-Tfh that provide support to GC B-cells. T-follicular regulatory cells (Tfr) have been shown to have critical roles in the control of Tfh and germinal center formation. While Tfh cells are inhibited by IL-2, Treg cells depend on it. Here we describe a novel CD25 negative subset within both murine and human PD1+CXCR5+Foxp3+ Tfr that is preferentially located in the GC and can be clearly differentiated from non-GC Tfr, Tfh and effector Tregs by expression of a wide range of molecules. In comparison to Tfr and effector Tregs, GC-Tfr cells partially downregulate IL-2 dependent canonical Treg features, but retain suppressive function, while simultaneously upregulating genes associated with Tfh and GC-Tfh. We suggest that, similar to Tfh, Tfr follow a differentiation pathway culminating in a distinct GC resident subset, GC-Tfr.
