Description
Pan-Hdac inhibitors (HDACi) are endowed with a potent anti-inflammatory activity, but the relative role of each of the eleven Hdac proteins sensitive to HDACi to the inflammatory gene expression program is unknown. Using an integrated genomic approach we found that Hdac3-deficient macrophages are unable to activate almost half of the inflammatory gene expression program when stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). A large part of the activation defect is due to loss of basal and LPS-inducible expression of IFNb, which in basal cells maintains Stat1 protein levels, and after stimulation acts in an autocrine/paracrine manner to promote a secondary wave of Stat1-dependent gene expression. We show that loss of Hdac3-mediated repression of nuclear receptors leads to hyperacetylation of thousands of genomic sites and associated gene derepression. The upregulation of the constitutively expressed prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase, Ptgs1 (Cox-1), has a causative role in the phenotype, since its chemical inhibition reverts the Ifnb activation defect. These data may have relevance for the use of selective Hdac inhibitors as anti-inflammatory agents.

Description
Human adipose stem cells (ASCs) have been shown, in pre-clinical studies, to have therapeutic applicability in diverse fields, but a standard expansion method for clinical applications remains yet to be established. Isolated ASCs are typically expanded in medium containing fetal bovine serum (FBS). However, sera and other animal-derived culture reagents stage numerous safety issues in clinical therapy, including possible infections and severe immune reactions. By expanding the ASCs in medium containing human serum (HS), the problem can be eliminated.

Description
Chlamydia pneumoniae, an obligate intracellular bacterium, causes pneumonia in humans and mice. Toll-like receptors and the key adaptor molecule MyD88 play a critical role in inducing immunity against this microorganism and are crucial to survive the infection. To explore the influence of MyD88 on induction of immune responses in vivo on a genome wide level, WT or MyD88-/- mice were infected with C. pneumoniae upon anesthesia and the pulmonary transcriptome was analyzed three days later by microarrays. We find that the infection induced the transcription of 360 genes and repressed 18 genes in WT mice. Of these, 221 genes were not or weakly induced in lungs of MyD88-/- mice. This cluster contains primarily genes encoding for chemokines, cytokines and other immune effector molecules. Genes induced by interferons were abundant in a cluster of 102 genes which were only partially MyD88-dependent. Interestingly, a set of 37 genes were induced more strongly in MyD88-/- mice and most of them are involved in the regulation of cellular replication. In summary, ex vivo analysis of the pulmonary transcriptome upon infection with C. pneumoniae demonstrated a major impact of MyD88 on inflammatory responses but not on interferon-type responses, and identified MyD88-independent genes involved in cellular replication

Description
This experiment is an additional experiment to GSE6688. Mouse macrophages (ANA-1 cells) were infected in vitro with C. pneumoniae with a M.O.I. of 10. Twenty two genes were significantly upregulated. Examples of the most upregulated genes in mouse macrophages after C. pneumoniae infection are serum amyloid A3 (saa3), a protein that is mainly produced by activated macrophages during tissue injury or inflammation, MIP-2 (cxcl2) and irg1. Expression levels of all genes induced by C. pneumoniae in macrophages in vitro correlated with the results obtained from infected lungs from wild type mice (GSE6688), suggesting that this cell type participates in host defense in vivo against C. pneumoniae.

Description
The optic vesicle comprises a pool of bi-potential progenitor cells from which the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and neural retina fates segregate during ocular morphogenesis. Several transcription factors and signaling pathways have been shown to be important for RPE maintenance and differentiation, but an understanding of the initial fate specification and determination of this ocular cell type is lacking. We show that Yap/Taz-Tead activity is necessary and sufficient for optic vesicle progenitors to adopt RPE identity in zebrafish. A Teadresponsive transgene is expressed within the domain of the optic cup from which RPE arises, and Yap immunoreactivity localizes to the nuclei of prospective RPE cells. yap (yap1) mutants lack a subset of RPE cells and/or exhibit coloboma. Loss of RPE in yap mutants is exacerbated in combination with taz (wwtr1) mutant alleles such that, when Yap and Taz are both absent, optic vesicle progenitor cells completely lose their ability to form RPE. The mechanism of Yap dependent RPE cell type determination is reliant on both nuclear localization of Yap and interaction with a Tead co-factor. In contrast to loss of Yap and Taz, overexpression of either protein within optic vesicle progenitors leads to ectopic pigmentation in a dosagedependent manner. Overall, this study identifies Yap and Taz as key early regulators of RPE genesis and provides a mechanistic framework for understanding the congenital ocular defects of Sveinsson’s chorioretinal atrophy and congenital retinal coloboma. Overall design: 60 pooled eyes from 36 hpf wild type or vsx2:Gal4/dsRed:14xUAS:YapS87A embryos were pooled for one sample. Three wild type and three vsx2:Gal4/dsRed:14xUAS:YapS87A pools were analyzed for RNA.

Description
Pediatric GIST commonly harbors a disabled succinate dehydrogenase complex (SDH), which yields tumors with highly conserved genomes but characteristic epigenomic signatures. Mysteriously, nearly half of such SDH-deficient GIST, including tumors from Carney Triad patients, lack identifiable mutations in SDH component genes and genes required for complex assembly (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF, termed SDHx). Genomic sequencing coupled with DNA methylation and transcriptional profiling have exposed SDHC promoter-specific CpG island epimutation and concomitant gene silencing in the majority of SDHx-WT GIST.

Description
Alternative mRNA splicing provides transcript diversity and has been proposed to contribute to several human diseases. Here, we demonstrate that expression of genes regulating RNA processing is decreased in both liver and skeletal muscle of obese humans. To determine the metabolic impact of reduced splicing factor expression, we further evaluated the splicing factor, SFRS10, identified as down-regulated in obese human liver and skeletal muscle and in high fat fed rodents. siRNA-mediated reductions in SFRS10 expression induced lipogenesis and lipid accumulation in cultured hepatocytes. Moreover, SFRS10 heterozygous mice have both increased hepatic lipogenic gene expression and hypertriglyceridemia. We also demonstrate that LPIN1, a key regulator of lipid metabolism, is a splicing target of SFRS10, with reduced SFRS10 levels favoring the lipogenic isoform of LPIN1. Importantly, LPIN1-specific siRNA abolished the lipogenic effects of decreased SFRS10 expression. Together, our results indicate reduced expression of SFRS10 alters LPIN1 splicing and induces lipogenesis, demonstrating that reduced splicing factor expression observed in human tissues may contribute to metabolic phenotypes associated with human obesity.
Publication Title
Expression of the splicing factor gene SFRS10 is reduced in human obesity and contributes to enhanced lipogenesis.
