Project description:Inflammation and infection can trigger local tissue Na+-accumulation. This Na+-rich environment boosts pro-inflammatory activation of monocyte/macrophage-like cells (MΦ) and their antimicrobial activity. Enhanced Na+-driven MΦ-function requires the osmoprotective transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5), which augments NO production and contributes to increased autophagy. However, the mechanism of Na+-sensing in MΦ remained unclear. High extracellular Na+ levels (HS) trigger a substantial Na+-influx and Ca2+ loss. Here, we show that the Na+/ Ca2+-exchanger 1 (NCX1/ solute carrier family 8 member A1 (SLC8A1)) plays a critical role in HS-triggered Na+-influx, concomitant Ca2+ efflux and subsequent NFAT5 accumulation. Moreover, interfering with NCX1-activity impairs HS-boosted inflammatory signaling, infection-triggered autolysosome formation and subsequent antibacterial activity. Taken together, this demonstrates that NCX1 is able to sense Na+ and is required for amplifying inflammatory and antimicrobial MΦ responses upon HS exposure. Manipulating NCX1 offers a new strategy to regulate MΦ function.

Project description:Background: Plants are sessile and therefore have developed mechanisms to adapt to their environment, including the soil mineral nutrient composition. Ionomics is a developing functional genomics strategy designed to rapidly identify the genes and gene networks involved in regulating how plants acquire and accumulate these mineral nutrients from the soil. Here we report on the coupling of high-throughput elemental profiling of shoot tissue from various Arabidopsis accessions with DNA microarray-based bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and reverse genetics, for the rapid identification of genes from wild populations of Arabidopsis that are involved in regulating how plants acquire and accumulate Na+ from the soil. Methodology/Principal Findings: Elemental profiling of shoot tissue from 12 different Arabidopsis accessions revealed that Ts-1 and Tsu-1 accumulate higher shoot levels of Na+ than Col-0 and other accessions. We identify AtHKT1, known to encode a Na+ transporter, as being the causal locus driving elevated shoot Na+ in both Ts-1 and Tsu-1. Furthermore, we establish that a deletion in a tandem repeat sequence ~5 kb upstream of AtHKT1 is responsible for the reduced root expression of AtHKT1 observed in these accessions. Reciprocal grafting experiments establish that this loss of AtHKT1 expression in roots is responsible for elevated shoot Na+. Interestingly, and in contrast to the hkt1-1 null mutant, under NaCl stress conditions this novel AtHKT1 allele not only does not confer NaCl sensitivity, but co-segregates with elevated NaCl tolerance. We also present all our elemental profiling data in a new open access ionomics database, the Purdue Ionomics Information Management System (PiiMS; www.purdue.edu/dp/ionomics). Conclusions/Significance: Using DNA microarray-based genotyping has allowed us to rapidly identify AtHKT1 as the causal locus driving the natural variation in shoot Na+ accumulation we observed in Ts-1 and Tsu-1, two coastal populations of Arabidopsis. Such an approach overcomes the limitations imposed by a lack of established genetic markers in most Arabidopsis accessions, and opens up a vast and tractable source of natural variation for the identification of gene function not only in ionomics but also in many other biological processes.

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the major causes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy is effective to reduce the HCC incidence, while it doesn’t completely prevent HCC. In this study, we explored the involvement of microRNA (miRNA) in the post-NA treatment HCC development. Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients who received NA treatment (n = 18) were divided into 2 groups: those who didn’t develop HCC during the follow-up period (non-HCC group) and those who developed HCC after treatment (HCC group). Liver specimens were obtained before and after NA therapy, and HCC tissues were also obtained from the HCC group patients. Normal liver tissues were also obtained from 4 liver hemangioma patients who underwent surgical resection. miRNA expression was analyzed using Agilent miRNA microarray V3.
