Description
Abiotic stress is a major factor for crop productivity, a problem likely to be exacerbated by climate change. Improving the tolerance to environmental stress is one of the most important goals of crop breeding programmes. While the early responses to abiotic stress in plants are well studied, plant adaptation to enduring or recurring stress conditions has received little attention. This project investigates the molecular mechanism of the maintenance of acquired thermotolerance as a model case of stress memory in Arabidopsis. Arabidopsis seedlings acquire thermotolerance through a heat treatment at sublethal temperatures. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we are investigating changes in the transcriptome at two timepoints after a heat acclimation treatment using Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings.

Description
This study determined the genes that are differentially expressed when regulatory T cells (Tregs) were isolated from the lamina propria of the small and large intestine from mice with impaired IL-2R signaling (designated Y3) or impaired IL-2R signaling and lack of CD103 expression (designated Y3/CD103-/-) when compared to Tregs from WT mice. 204 unique annotated mRNAs were differentially expressed by 1.5 fold between these 3 groups (Fig. 6B). Very few mRNAs were uniquely up or down regulated in relationship to impaired IL-2R signaling or the combination of impaired IL-2R signaling and lack of CD103 expression. Thus, lack of CD103 does not obviously regulated signaling in Tregs in the gut mucosa and most differentially expressed genes were due to impaired IL_2R signaling. Gene enrichment analysis of these differentially expressed genes identified 4 major enrichment groups (EG) are: EG1, Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and the JAK-STAT signaling pathway; EG2, regulation of lymphocyte activation and proliferation; EG3, regulation of cell death and the caspase pathway in apoptosis; and EG4, transcription.

Description
Brain structure and function experience dramatic changes from embryonic to postnatal development. However, gene expression information during early brain development is limited. We have generated >27 million reads to identify mRNAs from the mouse cortex for >16,000 genes at either embryonic day 18 (E18) or postnatal day 7 (P7), a period of significant synaptogenesis for neural circuit formation. In addition, we devised strategies to detect alternative splice forms and previously unannotated transcriptionally active regions (TARs).

Description
IL-2R signaling is essential for regulatory T cell (Treg) function. However, the precise contribution for IL-2 during Treg thymic development, peripheral homeostasis, and lineage stability remains unclear. Here we show that IL-2R signaling is essential for thymic Tregs at an early step for expansion/survival and a later step for functional maturation. Using selective deletion of CD25 in peripheral Tregs, we also find that IL-2R signaling was absolutely essential for their persistence whereas Treg lineage stability was IL-2-independent. CD25 knockout peripheral Tregs showed increased apoptosis, oxidative stress, signs of mitochondrial dysfunction, and reduced transcription of key enzymes of lipid and cholesterol biosynthetic pathways. A divergent IL-2 transcriptional signature was noted for thymic Tregs versus peripheral Tregs. These data indicate that IL-2R signaling in the thymus and the periphery leads to distinctive effects on Treg function, where peripheral Treg survival depends on a non-conventional mechanism of metabolic regulation. Overall design: To evaluate IL-2Ra-dependent transcriptional activity in thymic Tregs, CD25 KO Tregs were isolated from thymuses of Treg-targeted CD25 conditional KO animals, as well as CD25 WT controls. Groups of 5 biological replicates (mice) were compared. To evaluate IL-2Ra-dependent transcriptional activity in splenic Tregs, CD25 KO Tregs were isolated from tamoxifen-inducible, Treg-targeted CD25 conditional KO mice as well as CD25 WT reporter controls following tamoxifen induction. Groups of 4 biological replicates (mice) were compared. Libraries were prepared using KAPA's RNA Hyperprep protocol and sequenced on a 75 bp paired-end run using the Illumina NextSeq 500 High Output Kit (150-cycle; 400 M flow cell). Reads from RNA-seq were mapped to the Mus musculus genome GRCm38 using STAR (ver.2.5.0) aligner. Raw counts were generated based on Ensembl genes (GENCODE M13) with featureCounts (ver.1.5.0). Differentially expressed genes between CD25 KO and WT Tregs were identified using DESeq2, and determined by a threshold of false discovery rate (FDR) <0.01.

Description
The role of the beta2 adrenergic receptor (2AR) after stroke is unclear as pharmacological manipulations of the 2AR have produced contradictory results. We previously showed that mice deficient in the 2AR (2KO) had smaller infarcts compared to wild-type mice (FVB) after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), a model of stroke. To elucidate mechanisms of this neuroprotection, we evaluated changes in gene expression using microarrays comparing differences before and after MCAO, and differences between genotypes. Genes associated with inflammation and cell death were enriched after MCAO in both genotypes, and we identified several genes not previously shown to increase following ischemia (Ccl9, Gem, and Prg4). In addition to networks that were similar between genotypes, one network with a central node of G protein-coupled receptor and including biological functions carbohydrate metabolism, small molecule biochemistry and inflammation was identified in FVB mice but not in 2KO mice. Analysis of differences between genotypes revealed 11 genes differentially expressed by genotype in all conditions. We demonstrate greater Glo1 protein levels and lower Pmaip/Noxa mRNA levels in 2KO mice. As both genes are implicated in NFB signaling, we measured p65 activity and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) levels 24h after MCAO. MCAO-induced p65 activation and post-ischemic TNF production were both greater in FVB compared to 2KO mice. These results suggest that loss of 2AR signaling results in a neuroprotective phenotype in part due to decreased NFB signaling, decreased inflammation, and decreased apoptotic signaling in the brain.

Description
Diarrhea remains a major cause of death in children. Current diagnostic methods largely rely on stool culture and suffer from low sensitivity and inadequate specificity, often leading to inappropriate treatment. The objective of the present study was to use RNA sequencing (RNAseq) analysis to determine blood transcriptional profiles specific for several common pathogenic bacteria and viruses that cause diarrhea in children. We collected whole blood samples from children in Mexico having diarrhea associated with a single pathogen and without systemic complications. Our RNAseq data suggested that the blood signatures can differentiate children with diarrhea from healthy children either with or without bacterial colonization. Moreover, we detected different expression profiles from bacterial and viral infection, demonstrating for the first time the use of RNAseq to identify the etiology of infectious diarrhea. Overall design: 255 whole blood samples from 246 children including children with diarrhea caused by rotavirus (n=60 total; 5 repeated; 55 unique), E.coli (n=55), Salmonella (n=36), Shigella (n=37), adenovirus (n=8), norovirus (n=7), and control children (n=52 total; 4 repeated; 48 unique).

Description
Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) is an anthracycline chemotherapy agent effective in treating a wide range of malignancies1 with a well-established dose-response cardiotoxic side-effect that can lead to heart failure2-4. Even at relatively low cumulative doses of 200–250 mg/m2, the risk of cardiotoxicity is estimated at 7.8% to 8.8%4,5. Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) can range from asymptomatic reductions in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to highly symptomatic heart failure6,7. At present, it is not possible to predict which patients will be affected by DIC or adequately protect patients who are at risk for suffering this devastating side-effect8. Here we demonstrate that patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) can recapitulate individual patients’ predilection to DIC at the single cell level. hiPSC-CMs derived from breast cancer patients who suffered clinical DIC are consistently more sensitive to doxorubicin toxicity, demonstrating decreased cell viability, mitochondrial/metabolic function, calcium handling, and antioxidant pathway gene expression, along with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production compared to hiPSC-CMs from patients who did not experience DIC. Together, our data indicate that hiPSC-CMs are a suitable platform for identifying and verifying the genetic basis and molecular mechanisms of DIC. Overall design: Comparision of the effect of 1uM doxorubicin for 24 h on gene expression in hiPSC-CM derived from 6 patients
