Description
Acrylamide is a type-2 alkene monomer with established human neurotoxic effects. While the primary source of human exposure to acrylamide is occupational, other exposure sources include food, drinking water, and smoking. In this study, neurobehavioral assays coupled with transcriptional profiling analysis were conducted to assess both behavioral and gene expression effects induced by acrylamide neurotoxicity in rats when administered during early postnatal life. Acrylamide administration in rat pups induced significant characteristic neurotoxic symptoms including increased heel splay, decrease in grip strength, and decrease in locomotor activity. Transcriptome analysis with the Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 array indicated that acrylamide treatment caused a significant alteration in the expression of genes involved in muscle contraction, pain regulation, and dopaminergic neuronal pathways. First, in agreement with the observed behavioral effects, expression of the Mylpf gene involved in muscle contraction was downregulated in the spinal cord in response to acrylamide. Second, in sciatic nerves, acrylamide repressed the expression of the opioid receptor gene Oprk1 that is known to play a role in neuropathic pain regulation. Finally, in the cerebellum, acrylamide treatment caused a decrease in the expression of the nuclear receptor gene Nr4a2 that is required for development of dopaminergic neurons. Thus, our work examining the effect of acrylamide at the whole-genome level on a developmental mammalian model has identified novel genes previously not implicated in acrylamide neurotoxicity that can be further developed into biomarkers for assessing the risk of acrylamide exposure.

Description
The discovery of mammalian cardiac progenitor cells has suggested that the heart consists of not only terminally differentiated beating cardiomyocytes, but also a population of self-renewing stem cells with the potential to generate new cardiomyocytes (Anderson, Self et al. 2007; Bearzi, Rota et al. 2007; Wu, Chien et al. 2008). A consequence of longevity is continual exposure to environmental and xenobiotic stresses, and recent literature suggests that hematopoietic stem cell pools tightly control cell health through upregulation of the integrated stress response and consequent cellular mechanisms such as apoptosis. However, whether or not this biological response is conserved in progenitor cells for later lineages of tissue specific stem cells is not well understood. Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) of both cardiac progenitor and mature cardiomyocyte lineages, we found that the integrated stress response was upregulated in the iPSC cardiac progenitors leading to an increased sensitivity for apoptosis relative to the mature cardiomyocytes. Of interest, C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) signaling plays a mechanistic role in the cell death phenotype observed in iPSC progenitors, by which depletion of CHOP prevents cell death following cellular stress by thapsigargin exposure. Our studies suggest that the integrated stress response plays a unique role in maintaining iPSC cardiac progenitor cellular integrity by removing unhealthy cells via apoptosis following environmental and xenobiotic stresses, thus preventing differentiation and self-renewal of damaged cells.

Description
Pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1 and PAR2) in eutherians retain homologous regions between the X and Y chromosomes that play a critical role in the obligatory X-Y crossover during male meiosis. Genes that reside in the PAR1 are exceptional in that they are rich in repetitive sequences and undergo a very high rate of recombination. Remarkably, murine PAR1 homologs have translocated to various autosomes, reflecting the complex recombination history during the evolution of the mammalian X chromosome. We now report that the SNF2-type chromatin remodeling protein ATRX controls the expression of eutherians ancestral PAR1 genes that have translocated to autosomes in the mouse. In addition, we have identified two potentially novel mouse PAR1 orthologs. We propose that the ancestral PAR1 genes share a common epigenetic environment that allows ATRX to control their expression.

Description
The physiological function of the immune system and the response to therapeutic immunomodulators may be sensitive to combinatorial cytokine micro-environments that shape the responses of specific immune cells. Previous work shows that paracrine cytokines released by virus-infected human dendritic cells (DC) can dictate the maturation state of nave DCs. To understand the effects of paracrine signaling, we systematically studied the effects of combinations cytokines in this complex mixture in generating an antiviral state. After nave DCs were exposed to either IFN or to paracrine signaling released by DCs infected by Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV), microarray analysis revealed a large number of genes that were differently regulated by the DC-secreted paracrine signaling. In order to identify the cytokine mechanisms involved, we identified 20 cytokines secreted by NDV infected DCs for which the corresponding receptor gene is expressed in nave DCs. By exposing cells to all combinations of 19 cytokines (leave-one-out studies) we identified 5 cytokines (IFN, TNF, IL-1, TNFSF15 and IL28) as candidates for regulating DC maturation markers. Subsequent experiments identified IFN, TNF and IL1 as the major synergistic contributors to this antiviral state. This finding was supported by infection studies in vitro, by T cell activation studies and by in vivo infection studies in mouse. Combination of cytokines can cause response states in DCs that differ from those achieved by the individual cytokines alone. These results suggest that the cytokine microenvironment may act via a combinatorial code to direct the response state of specific immune cells. Further elucidation of this code may provide insight into responses to infection and neoplasia as well as guide the development of combinatorial cytokine immunomodulation for infectious, autoimmune and immunosurveillance-related diseases.

Description
Dipyridamole (DPM) is widely used to prevent strokes and vascular thrombosis. Combination therapy of DPM and antimetabolites has shown synergistic anticancer activity. This study investigated the chemopreventive effects of DPM in the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter driven polyoma middle T oncoprotein (MMTV-PyMT) metastatic breast cancer model. We also investigated the effects of DPM on gene and miRNA expression. Chemopreventive activity was assessed by comparing the time to onset of palpable lesions, primary tumor growth kinetics and the number of lung metastases in transgenic mice treated with DPM or vehicle. Gene expression and microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles of mammary tumor tissues were then analyzed using the Affymetrix GeneChip or miRNA 2.0 arrays. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to confirm changes in gene expression. Treatment with DPM beginning at the age of four weeks delayed the onset of palpable lesions, delayed tumor progression and suppressed lung metastasis. Microarray gene expression analysis identified 253 genes differentially expressed between DPM-treated and control mammary tumors. miRNA expression analysis revealed that 53 miRNAs were altered by DPM treatment. The results indicate that DPM has chemoprevention activity against breast cancer tumorigenesis and metastasis in mice.
