Project description:Identification of Genes and Genomic Islands Correlated with High Pathogenicity through Tilling Microarray-Based Comparative Genomics in S. suis. Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause meningitis and sepsis in both pigs and humans. S. suis isolates have been categorized into groups of different levels of pathogenicity, with sequence type (ST) ST1 clonal complex strains having a higher degree of virulence than other STs. However, the genetic basis of the differences in pathogenicity is still poorly understood. In this study, a comprehensive genomic comparison of 31 S. suis strains from different clinical sources with the genome sequence of the high pathogenicity (HP) strain GZ1 was conducted using NimbleGenM-bM-^@M-^Ys tilling microarray platform. Comparative genomic analysis on the 31 S. suis strains of different serotypes and ST types through tilling arrays.

Project description:Unfiltered coffee markedly increases serum lipid levels in humans and mice. The responsible compounds are the fat-soluble diterpenes cafestol and kahweol. Cafestol is responsible for more than 80% of the effect on serum lipids and is the most potent cholesterol-elevating compound known in the human diet. Aim of these microarray studies was to identify novel genes and regulatory pathways determining the cholesterol raising effect of cafestol by genome-wide expression studies. Keywords: Transgenic APOE3Leiden_Mouse_liver_diet response_cafestol Transgenic APOE3Leiden (E3L) mice of the N21th generation (>99% C57BL6/JIco) were used. Mice were 10 weeks of age at the start of experiments, and received control or cafestol diet for 4 weeks (n=7 and 8 respectively). As control diet, diet W (Hope Farms) was used, a semi-synthetic diet (18.2 MJ/kg) enriched with saturated fat (15g/100g) and cholesterol (0.25g/100g). This diet was supplemented with 0.04% (wt/wt) cafestol and 0.02% (wt/wt) kahweol for the cafestol diet. Microarray experiments were performed in duplicate: the same RNAs were labeled, divided into two different pools and hybridized onto two different GEMs 2.03 (Incyte Genomics, Palo Alto, CA). Duplicates are indicated by the same SY or TP number in the sample titles.

Project description:In animals, egg activation triggers a cascade of posttranscriptional events that act on maternally synthesized RNAs. We show that, in Drosophila, the PAN GU (PNG) kinase sits near the top of this cascade, triggering translation of SMAUG (SMG), a multifunctional posttranscriptional regulator conserved from yeast to humans. Although PNG is required for cytoplasmic polyadenylation of smg mRNA, it regulates translation via mechanisms that are independent of its effects on the poly(A) tail. Analyses of mutants suggest that PNG relieves translational repression by PUMILIO (PUM) and one or more additional factors, which act in parallel through the smg mRNA's 3' untranslated region (UTR). Microarray-based gene expression profiling shows that SMG is a major regulator of maternal transcript destabilization. SMG-dependent mRNAs are enriched for gene ontology annotations for function in the cell cycle, suggesting a possible causal relationship between failure to eliminate these transcripts and the cell cycle defects in smg mutants. Keywords: Identification of Maternal mRNAs RNA was extracted from staged unfertilized eggs and stage 14 oocytes using a modification of the TRIzol (Invitrogen) method (Neal et al., 2003). Sample quality was evaluated by probing northern blots for known stable (rpA1) and unstable (Hsp83) transcripts. Total RNA was reverse transcribed as previously described (Neal et al., 2003), except that priming was carried out using random primers rather than oligo-dT in order not to bias the labeling toward mRNAs with long poly(A) tails. The fluorescently labeled cDNA probes were hybridized to 12Kv1 microarray slides obtained from the Canadian Drosophila Microarray Centre (http://www.flyarrays.com). These represent 10,500 distinct protein-coding genes, or 77% of the Drosophila protein-coding genome. Hybridization and scanning was also as previously described (Neal et al., 2003), using a PerkinElmer/GSI ScanArray 4000 scanner and the ScanArray software. The 16 bit TIFF image files were quantified using QuantArray Version 3 (PerkinElmer) using the adaptive quantification algorithm and analyzed using GeneTraffic Duo 3.2 (Iobion Informatics/Stratagene) after normalization to the known stable transcripts rpA1 and rp49. Of the 10,500 distinct protein-coding genes on the microarray, 9,257 were analyzed for maternal expression. The averages of all of the raw values for 21 hybridizations of wild-type stage 14 oocyte RNA (three replicates of seven experiments) were sorted from highest to lowest. Maternal expression was assessed at different levels in the list by scanning the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project in situ database (http://www.fruitfly.org/cgi-bin/ex/insitu.pl). RNA from the genes at the top of the table is maternally loaded (90.4% of transcripts with an average raw intensity > 20,000 are maternal; n = 73), whereas RNA from genes at the bottom is absent from early embryos (only 8.2% of those with an average intensity of < 2,000 are maternal; n = 73). Hsp83 appeared near the top of the list (sixth out of 9,257). Transcripts with average values between 3,500 and 5,000 were mostly maternal (75%; n = 76). As the values decreased, there was a decreasing frequency of maternal transcripts (58.7% between 3,000 and 3,500, n = 172; 46.9% between 2,800 and 3,000, n = 160; 26.2% between 2,500 and 2,800, n = 80; 24.7% between 2,000 and 2,500, n = 81). Using a cutoff value of 3,000, we calculate that 55% of all protein-coding genes are represented in stage 14 oocytes

Project description:Because of their potent immunoregulatory capacity, dendritic cells (DCs) have been exploited as therapeutic tools to boost immune responses against tumors or pathogens, or dampen autoimmune or allergic responses. Murine bone marrow-derived DCs (BM-DCs) are the closest known equivalent of the blood monocyte-derived DCs that have been used for human therapy. Current imaging methods have proven unable to properly address the migration of injected DCs to small and deep tissues in mice and humans. This study presents the first extensive analysis of BM-DC homing to lymph nodes (and other selected tissues) after intravenous and intraperitoneal inoculation. Following intravenous delivery, DCs accumulated in the spleen, and preferentially in the pancreatic and lung-draining lymph nodes. In contrast, DCs injected intraperitoneally were found predominantly in peritoneal lymph nodes (pancreatic in particular), and in omentum-associated lymphoid tissue. This uneven distribution of BM-DCs, independent of the mouse strain and also observed within pancreatic lymph nodes, resulted in the uneven induction of an immune response in different lymphoid tissues. These data have important implications for the design of systemic cellular therapy with DCs, and in particular underlie a previously unsuspected potential for specific treatment of diseases such as autoimmune diabetes and pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Abstract Background Neurexins are proteins located in the presynaptic membrane that bind postsynaptic ligands, neuroligins, neurexophilins, and dystrophoglycan. They exert profound effects on neurological function by mediating signalling across synapses and determining synaptic characteristics through the recruitment of additional proteins for synapse formation. Alterations in neurexin-encoding genes cause cognitive disorders such as autism, developmental delay and schizophrenia. The three neurexin genes in the human genome (NRXN1, NRXN2, and NRXN3) each have two different functional promoters, producing a large (alpha) and small (beta) transcript with corresponding proteins. NRXN1 produces hundreds, perhaps thousands, of different transcripts with differential localization in the CNS. Results We report here the identification of an individual (53825) with mild dysmorphia, severe language disorder, mild intellectual disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and a mood disorder. Genomic analysis by Affymetrix 6.0 Gene Chip and FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) using probes specific for NRXN1 revealed a hemizygous deletion of approximately 190 Kb, which includes exons 3-5 of NRXN1. This deletion should result in the absence of the vast majority of different NRXN1 alpha transcripts from one of the NRXN1 gene copies, without effecting NRXN1 beta transcription. Copy number analysis of Affymetrix 6.0 SNP arrays was performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from cryopreserved diagnostic bone marrow or peripheral blood samples for pediatric patients. One sample showed partial deletion of NRXN1 alpha; data presented in this Series.
