Description
Burn injury remains a major clinical challenge to both survival and to quality of life. Its progressive, aberrant inflammation underlies the lethal dysfunction of various organs and the pain it induces is excruciating and notoriously difficult to manage. While it is known that burn injury's complex local and disseminating pathology is orchestrated from the burned tissue, few studies have sought to characterise the local signalling environment. An enhanced understanding of the local and acutely temporally-dynamic processes defining burn injury and its progression is required for the development of novel therapeutic interventions. Microdialysis was used as an interstitial sampling technique, conducted over three hours post-burn. Samples were analysed by metabolomics and a multiplex cytokine immunoassay. Next-Generation sequencing libraries of the burn and control microdialysis sites were prepared to measure transcriptional changes potentially underlying the interstitial profile characterising burn injury. Overall design: All microdialysis sites in the study were excised for the extraction of RNA; 4 burn site and 4 control site samples were analysed.

Description
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a tumor treatment strategy that relies on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the tumor following local illumination. Although PDT has shown promising results in the treatment of non-resectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, it is still employed palliatively. In this study, tumor-comprising cells (i.e., cancer cells, endothelial cells, macrophages) were treated with the photosensitizer zinc phthalocyanine that was encapsulated in cationic liposomes (ZPCLs). Post-PDT survival pathways were studied following sublethal (50% lethal concentration (LC50)) and supralethal (LC90) PDT using a multi-omics approach. ZPCLs did not exhibit toxicity in any of the cells as assessed by toxicogenomics. Sublethal PDT induced survival signaling in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (SK-ChA-1) cells via mainly hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1)-, nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells (NF-B)-, activator protein 1 (AP-1)-, and heat shock factor (HSF)-mediated pathways. In contrast, supralethal PDT damage was associated with a dampened survival response. (Phospho)proteomic and metabolomic analysis showed that PDT-subjected SK-ChA-1 cells downregulated proteins associated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling, particularly at LC50. PDT also affected various components of glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle as well as metabolites involved in redox signaling. In conclusion, sublethal PDT activates multiple pathways in tumor parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells that, in tumor cells, transcriptionally regulate cell survival, proliferation, energy metabolism, detoxification, inflammation/angiogenesis, and metastasis. Accordingly, sublethally afflicted tumor cells are a major therapeutic culprit. Our multi-omics analysis unveiled multiple druggable targets for pharmacological intervention.

Description
Rationale: Maternal immune responses can promote allergy development in offspring. Pilot data show that neonates of mother mice exposed during pregnancy to air pollution particles have increased allergic susceptibility. Objective: We investigated whether inflammatory response to titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles earlier considered immunologically inert is enhanced during pregnancy. Methods: Pregnant BALB/c mice (or non-pregnant controls) received particle suspensions intranasally at day 14 of pregnancy. Lung inflammatory responses were evaluated 19 and 48 h after exposure. Results: Pregnant mice showed robust and persistent acute inflammatory responses after exposure to TiO2, while non-pregnant females had the expected minimal responses. Genomic profiling identified genes differentially expressed in pregnant lungs exposed to TiO2. Neonates of mothers exposed to TiO2 (but not PBS) developed increased susceptibility to allergens. Conclusion: Pregnancy enhances lung inflammatory responses to otherwise relatively innocuous inert particles.

Description
Purpose: This study was carried out to determine the consequences of the Rfx2-/- genotype on spermatogenesis in the mouse Methods: RNA was extracted from decapsulated testes of 21 day old mixed background mice of either genotype. Deep sequencing was used to determine quantitative expression of the genomes from independent replicates of each genotype Results: RNA-Seq analysis identified some 105 genes that are down regulated at least 2-fold in Rfx2-/- testes, with ~50 being reduced at least 10-fold Conclusion: Spermatogenesis undergoes complete arrest just prior to the end of the round spermatid period of sperm development in mutant mice. Sequencing results showed that approximately 105 genes were downregulated 2 fold or more in the testes of mutant mice. Comparison of similar studies of targeted mutations in genes for other transcription factor demonstrate that Rfx2 has a large and nearly unique set of genes that depend on it directly or indirectly. A large number of downregulated genes are identified with cilia function. Overall design: Testicular mRNA profiles were determined by deep sequencing using testes from 5 independent wild type and 6 independent Rfx2-/- mice

Description
Growth factor independence 1b (Gfi1b) is a DNA binding repressor of transcription with vital functions in hematopoiesis. Gfi1b-null embryos die at midgestation very likely due to defects in erythro- and megakaryopoiesis. To analyze the full functionality of Gfi1b in embryonic erythropoiesis, we used conditionally deficient mice that harbor floxed Gfi1b alleles and one EpoR-Cre knock-in allele.
