Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
TLRs are considered important for innate immune responses that combat bacterial infections. Here, the role of TLRs in severe septic peritonitis using the colon ascendens stent peritonitis (CASP) model was examined. We demonstrate that mice deficient for MyD88 and TRIF had markedly reduced bacterial numbers both in peritoneal cavity and peripheral blood, indicating that bacterial clearance in this model is inhibited by TLR signals. Moreover, survival of Myd88-/-;TrifLps2/Lps2 mice was significantly improved. The lack of TLR signals prevented the excessive induction of inflammatory cytokines and of IL 10. Notably, the expression of IFN-gamma, which has an essential protective role in septic peritonitis, and of IFN-regulated genes including several p47 and p65 GTPases as well as IP 10 was independent of TLR signaling. These results provide evidence that, in severe septic peritonitis, TLR deficiency balances the innate immune response in a favorable manner by attenuating deleterious responses such as excessive cytokine release, while leaving intact protective IFN-gamma production.

Description
The mutation in the budding yeast gene PCNA, pol30-8, as well as deletion of DOT1 (dot1), encoding the only histone H3 K79 methyltransferase in budding yeast, have been implicated in telomeric silencing. To further analyze these mutants, we used microarrays to study whether either pol30-8, dot1 or the double mutant leads to changes in gene expression levels when compared to isogenic wild-type strains.

Description
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant modification on mRNA, and is implicated in critical roles in development, physiology and disease. A major challenge in the field has been the inability to quantify m6A stoichiometry and the lack of antibody-independent methodologies for interrogating m6A. Here, we develop MASTER-seq for systematic quantitative profiling of m6A at single nucleotide resolution, building on differential cleavage by an RNAse at methylated sites. MASTER-seq permitted validation and de novo discovery of m6A sites, calibration of the performance of antibody based approaches, and quantitative tracking of m6A dynamics in yeast gametogenesis and mammalian differentiation. We discover that m6A stoichiometry is 'hard-coded' in cis via a simple and predictable code. This code accounts for ~50% of the variability in methylation levels and allows accurate prediction of m6A loss/acquisition events across evolution. MASTER-seq will allow quantitative investigation of m6A regulation in diverse cell types and disease states. Overall design: 10 samples were analyzed: EBS WT and Metll3 -/- with two replicates each and ESC WT and Mettld -/- with three replicates

Description
The basic unit of genome packaging is the nucleosome, and nucleosomes have long been proposed to restrict DNA accessibility both to damage and to transcription. However, nucleosome number in cells was considered fixed, and no condition was described where nucleosome number was reduced. We show here that mammalian cells lacking High Mobility Group Box 1 protein (HMGB1) contain a reduced amount of core, linker and variant histones, and a correspondingly reduced number of nucleosomes. Yeast nhp6 mutants lacking NHP6A and B proteins, which are related to HMGB1, also have a reduced amount of histones and fewer nucleosomes. Nucleosome limitation in both mammalian and yeast cells increases the sensitivity of DNA to damage, increases transcription globally, and the relative expression of about 10% of genes. In yeast nhp6 cells the loss of more than one nucleosome in four does not affect the location of nucleosomes and their spacing, but nucleosomal occupancy. The decrease in nucleosomal occupancy is non-uniform, and our results can be modelled assuming that different nucleosomal sites compete for the available histones: sites with high affinity are almost always packaged into nucleosomes both in wt and nucleosome-depleted cells, whereas sites with low affinity are less frequently packaged in nucleosome-depleted cells. We suggest that by modulating the occupancy of nucleosomes histone availability may constitute a novel layer of epigenetic regulation.

Description
Th17 cells were sorted ex vivo from PB of healthy donors as CD4+CD161+CCR6+CXCR3-. Following, cells were transduced with a lentiviral vector carrying the Eomes gene or with an empty vector. Infected cells were then enriched by MACS separation using the reporter gene NGFR as selection marker. Finally, cells were frozen for RNA analysis.
