View SamplesBackground. Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus are associated with significant morbidity and mortality and are an increasing threat not only in hospital settings. The expression of the staphylococcal virulence factor repertoire is known to be affected by the alternative sigma factor B (SigB). However, its impact during infection still is a matter of debate. Methods. Kidney tissue of controls or mice infected with S. aureus HG001 or its isogenic sigB mutant was analyzed by transcriptome profiling to monitor the host response, and additionally expression of selected S. aureus genes was monitored by RT-qPCR. Results. Direct transcript analysis by RT-qPCR revealed significant SigB activity in all mice infected with the wild type strain (WT), but not in its isogenic sigB mutant (p<0.0001). Despite a clear cut difference in the SigB-dependent transcription pattern of virulence genes (clfA, aur, and hla), the host reaction to infection (either WT or sigB mutant) was almost identical. Conclusions. Despite its significant activity in vivo, loss of SigB did not have an effect on the outcome of infection as well as on murine kidney gene expression pattern. Thus, these data support the role of SigB as virulence modulator rather than being a virulence determinant by itself.
The alternative sigma factor B modulates virulence gene expression in a murine Staphylococcus aureus infection model but does not influence kidney gene expression pattern of the host.

View SamplesWe report that developmental competition between sympathetic neurons for survival is critically dependent on a sensitization process initiated by target innervation and mediated by a series of feedback loops. Target-derived nerve growth factor (NGF) promoted expression of its receptor TrkA in neurons and prolonged TrkA-mediated signals. NGF also controlled expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-4 (NT4), which, through the receptor p75, can kill neighboring neurons with low retrograde NGFTrkA signaling whereas neurons with high NGFTrkA signaling are protected. Perturbation of any of these feedback loops disrupts the dynamics of competition. We suggest that three target-initiated events are essential for rapid and robust competition between neurons: sensitization, paracrine apoptotic signaling, and protection from such effects.

View SamplesCholesterol is an essential cell membrane component and precursor in metabolic pathways. Control of cholesterol levels is essential to human health. The endocrine hormone FGF19 potently inhibits CYP7A1, which controls a key step in cholesterol catabolism. However, the molecular mechanisms that integrate FGF19 with other cholesterol metabolic pathways are incompletely understood. Here we show that FGF19 and analogue promote HDL biogenesis and cholesterol efflux from the liver by selectively modulating liver X receptor signaling without inducing hepatic steatosis. We further identify ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 and FGFR4 as mediators of this effect. In dyslipidemic Apoe-/- mice fed a Western diet, treatment with FGF19 analogue dramatically reduced atherosclerotic lesion area in aortas. In healthy human volunteers, FGF19 analogue caused a placebo-adjusted increase in HDL cholesterol levels of 26% in seven days. These findings outline a regulatory role for FGF19 in cholesterol metabolism and advance our understanding of the mechanisms that coordinate sterol homeostasis.
Therapeutic FGF19 promotes HDL biogenesis and transhepatic cholesterol efflux to prevent atherosclerosis.
